Balancing Narratives in Wikipedia Project

Background

Wikipedia, as a global encyclopedia, has faced ongoing concerns regarding the inclusivity of its content due to prevailing knowledge gaps and inherent systemic bias. Notably, there is a distinct underrepresentation of significant indigenous knowledge from the West African perspective, particularly concerning the Edo culture. This deficiency is evident in the scarcity of standard Wikipedia articles addressing various aspects of Edo culture, such as traditional beliefs systems, festivals, rituals, clothing, cuisine, clan and family structures, arts, crafts, and more.

Although efforts have been made from past projects to close this content gap, there is still much to be done, as substantial voids remain in both content and contributor representation. This is despite the fact that many of the topics from Edo indigenous knowledge system meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. This project therefore aims to address these gaps and make Wikipedia a truly global encyclopedia while also making information about Edo culture and indigenous knowledge visible and accessible for learning and research purposes.

Action Points

• Create balanced narrative on Wikipedia about Edo People
• Train Edo residents to contribute expert local knowledge on Wikipedia
• Strengthen the Wikimedia Community in Edo State.
• Organize edit-a-thon aimed at improving the representation of Edo related articles in Wikipedia
• Mentor participants over time on different aspects of Wikimedia projects
