Abstract

This poster will present preliminary results of a study that considers the efforts of WikiProject Countering Systemic Bias, a collective of editors dedicated to combating bias on the English-language Wikipedia. Through a content analysis comparing the project to a sample from the general population, the scope of this group's labor is gauged and discussed.
