Visibility matters. Thanks to @wiwigoo and @hiimmax for putting BIPOC players in the spotlight.

We will have an update in a week regarding how we hope to support our mission while honoring the pain and harm being done to those in Black communities. In the meantime, below are some resources to use, read, and share in support of this movement. (3/3)

We want to harness this network to raise funds, organize protest attendance, & support Black people. We want to amplify efforts. Wiki pages can increase visibility of marginalized people, but they can't compare to the efforts needed to address systemic racism in the US. (2/3)

We’re halfway through the Sports Visibility Wikithon. As we pass this milestone, the Project will hit pause given the events of the past week. We want to use this time to support the efforts and protests against police brutality and systemic racism. #BlackLivesMatter (1/3)

@GaryL_45 @SeattleRiot We've received a notice from Wikipedia that our sources were not sufficient, and we have been asked to do some work on it before returning it the mainspace. If you have articles we could cite, please let us know!

@VisibilityWiki @SeattleRiot Did you remove it after her birthday?

Happy birthday Dominique Fontenette! We're not saying we made this Wikipedia page for your birthday... but the timing is pretty suspicious! 😉 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominique… #UltimateWiki #LiveUltimate @SeattleRiot

If you are one of the apparel companies, can you DM me or email @VisibilityWiki a list of articles/press mentions that verifies your existence as a company? Preference of citations from news/website sources not affiliated w/ Ultimate community, but we'll take what you got!

A shoutout to my dear friend @glassfullofsass. Last week I got her @DCShadowUlti jersey and this week I wrote her Wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashleigh_…) for the @VisibilityWiki project! We're making great progress in writing a more inclusive ultimate history. Please join us!

Some of our most productive editing happened in our Tuesday zoom social hours last week! It's a great & safe place to wade into the world of editing. Credit to Jillian Du @jillydu for the epic graphics 🧡🥏🧡 #UltimateFrisbee #Wikithon #sportswikivisibilityproject

It's been 10 days of the #UltimateWiki campaign and check out the progress we've made! We'll have our Tuesday social hours tonight if you want to learn more 6-9pm EDT (5-8CDT, 4-7MDT, & 3-5PDT). Sign up to get the Zoom link & other project updates: forms.gle/a5RNAudfcjFgKN…

Join us T-2 hours to write herstory! @VisibilityWiki #ultimatewiki facebook.com/events/s/sport…

Reminder: before you start editing, join/sign into Wikipedia through our dashboard, or your edits won't count towards our campaign (which would be super sad!)! And don't forget to use the #ultimatewiki hashtag in your edit summaries :) Sign up/in here: outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Sports…

OK it's there now!

(Or, if you have a secret stash of articles on either Murray or Amin, sliiiiide those into our DM’s! Scouring google for article citations is time consuming & we’d love to make it as easy as possible for new editors to just grab articles & get to building pages!) #UltimateWiki

We’d also love to get pages up & running, if we have enough citations, for @eileencmurray & @khunsanana who are interviewed in this article. Any one interested in becoming an editor & helping us create pages for these Ultimate innovators? #UltimateWiki

Hey editors! I’ve got a new citation to add to our visibility wiki edit-a-thon! Who’s updating the @ny_gridlock Wikipedia page & cross-citing @PremierUltimate & @britnidlc ???? #UltimateWiki #LiveUltimate

Throwback Thursday! In fall of ‘16 Boston University Women’s Ultimate started the “I Need Feminism Because” photo series. Photos went viral, spawned multiple copy-cat photos, & covered by Boston Globe! Check out the new Wikipedia page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_need_fe… #UltimateWiki
