Statement on the term “Queer”

[edit]

The conference and event series organizers recognize that various terms and acronyms are in use to represent diverse populations and communities within the spectra of sexualities and gender identities / expressions (ex: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, non-binary, two-spirit, third gender, LGBT+, LGBTQ+, LGBTQQ2IA*, QUILTBAG, SOGI, etc). The term “Queer” is used here to represent all who self-identify as members of these various communities and work toward solidarity for those affected by related discriminations.

Statement about Wikipedia and Wikimedia

[edit]

While this event series is named “Queering Wikipedia”, it is intentionally inclusive of all Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, etc.)

We warmly encourage the use of "QW" in event names (like QW2023), to de-center Wikipedia and to advance more diverse work.
