Wikipedia:Meetup/Black Lunch Table/Lists of Articles

Black Lunch Table's task list is made up of visual artists of the African Diaspora who are under-represented on Wikipedia. We welcome your additions to our list, in fact we need them. Please keep suggestions within our scope of visual artists of the African Diaspora and please refrain from adding artists who already have substansial articles. Our goal is to create new pages and build up under-represented ones. Be sure an artist qualifies according to Wikipedia's notability guidelines.Thanks!

Black Lunch Table Wikimedians mobilize the creation and improvement of a specific set of Wikipedia articles that pertain to the lives and works of Black artists. In the field of mainstream contemporary art, Black artists are still marginalized within our field.

Wikipedia estimates that 77% of their editors are white and 91% of their editors are men. Our work shifts this demographic and empowers people to write their own history. Our sessions and events, including BLT Photobooth and edit-a-thons, equip new editors with the skills and resources to create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles and encourages existing editors to focus on Wikipedia knowledge gaps.

'''Task lists'''

Suggest Black visual artists/curators/exhibitions/artworks and Black visual art institution pages for revision and/or creation in the "New task suggestions" section below! Each suggestion is then added to Wikidata and tagged with Black Lunch Table as "On Focus List," so please do not move or remove names from this "Suggestions" section without Wikidata work first! BLT staff will also work on moving these articles regularly. Black Lunch Table's task list is a crowd-sourced, initiative-specific list that focuses on important visual artists/collectors/curators/art writers of the African Diaspora.
