Why is editing a Wikipedia article so important?
First of all, Wikipedia is the modern equivalent of an encyclopedia; it is the first stop in finding an answer. With over 5.6 million articles in the English language, it is one of the most comprehensive collections of knowledge available. Currently, there are very few female Wikipedia editors and a very small percentage of female-related articles. SoundGirls is looking to change that by training new Wikipedia editors. Wikipedia was made to be edited by the public, and it can be another tool to grow the influence of women in audio and to break the glass fader.
