Our recent Women of Jazz Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts focused on filling the gaps of Wikipedia’s coverage of female musicians. Participants contributed to existing Wikipedia pages, as well as adding several new pages: Pauline Braddy, Carol Chaikin, Zena Latto, Carline Ray, Tomeka Reid, Erica von Kliest, The Darlinettes, Deborah Weisz, and Rigler-Deutsch Index.

Linked Jazz thanks everyone that participated, as well as the New York Public Library for hosting the event. A special thank you to Leanora Lange and NYPL’s Bob Kosovsky for their organizational efforts.
