Hello! I'm Dorothy. I have been editing Wikipedia for 10+ years. Recently I have been writing and improving Wikipedia articles related to history, artists and art venues, music, qualitative research methods, and labor concepts. I've also worn multiple hats as a community organizer, open knowledge advocate, and researcher, and attend Wikimedia New York City meetups.
I was formerly a Wikipedian-in-Residence at the
Art + Feminism, 2014-2015.[1]
I have also done some academic research reflecting on participating in the Wikimedia community as a gender and diversity advocate, see Ways of Knowing When Research Subjects Care citation below.
