Wikipedia:WikiProject Black Lives Matter/July 2020

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia wants YOUR help to improve our coverage of Black Lives Matter and related topics! For the entire month of July 2020, we are holding the Black Lives Matter article improvement drive, a collaborative effort to improve our articles on topics relating to racism, racialized violence, and the African diaspora more widely. Whether you're new to Wikipedia or an experienced editor, your help is greatly appreciated. The recent killing of George Floyd and others have exposed continuing racial divisions in the United States. This has manifested in widespread protests and movements like Blackout Tuesday which are important topics for Wikipedia to cover. One of the best ways to fight ignorance and bias is knowledge, and improving Wikipedia content on African-Americans and the African diaspora more generally helps to educate the world and counter Wikipedia's systemic bias.

There are tons of ways you can help out! The page below is divided into sections to help you identify places you would like to work. #New and improved content lists articles which are further along in their development and could use attention from copy editors, proofreaders, and reviewers. If you don't have much time to write, the articles listed there would benefit from minor edits. If you have photos you can upload them under a free license to share with others. #Participants lists editors who have signed up to help with this effort. If you need advice or help, contact one of them on their talk page or post on the project talk page.

This campaign is a collaboration with WikiProject Women in Red's BLM/Anti-discrimination editathon, and complements the previous BLM June editathon.
