EqualVoice, an initiative of the Switzerland-based media company Ringier, reports that it held one first-ever Hungary edit-a-thon in Budapest in May, and another in Belgrade in June.
The Budapest event, held at Goethe Institute Budapest, included around 30 volunteers and was co-sponsored by Wikimedia Hungary. The results include more than 30 “new or significantly expanded entries highlighting women’s stories” on Hungarian Wikipedia, such as film producer Barbara Hámori; digital expert and equality advocate Edina Heal; actress Dia Nyári; international and climate law expert Dr. Katalin Sulyok.
A couple other pages mentioned may have since been challenged (assuming I have correctly interpreted what’s going on, as I don’t speak or read Hungarian), because I cannot find Adél Zay, a Transylvanian educator and early feminist, and athlete and businesswoman Viktória Szilasi in red.
The June edit-a-thon in Belgrade, held at the University Library “Svetozar Marković,” created or expanded 12 biographies of notable Serbian women: biologist/physiologist and university professor Vukosava Davidović, art historian Zagorka Gavrilović, businessperson and humanitarian Tanja Delić, lawyer and university professor Jelena Danilović, Katarina Damijan Zelenika (currently in red), gymnast Jelena Ban, geographer Mirjana Deveđić, Mirjana Babić Šujica (currently in red), architect Branka Gavrilović, art historian Smiljka Gabelić, agronomist and university professor Ljiljana Babić, and dancer/choreographyer Jelena Vajs Beložanski.
