Mapping Days

Mapping days in OSM of female biographies from Wikipedia, using the MappiNA app, the Visual Notes category and the #wikidonne tag. We mapped Nilde Iotti, Artemisia Gentileschi, Flavia Giulia Elena, Maria Montessori, Ortensia, Anita Garibaldi and Beatrice Cenci biographies. The event was sponsored by the Roma Semplice Councilorship.

Commons uploads

We started to upload files in Public Domain or not covered by copyright: sheet music of operas, images considered not artistic and signature (text representation). Are very useful in case we have not free photos to use for the female biographies. We also request to professional photographers to release their photos in CC by SA.
