Back Cover: We Can Do It!.jpg. Digital image [of the original "We Can Do It!" poster by J. Howard Miller, ca. 1942] uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by user "Pharos" on 10 April 2007. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:We_Can_Do_It!.jpg.

The Wikimedia Commons description of We Can Edit.jpg reads: "A parody of the famous 'We Can Do It!' poster (see File:We Can Do It!.jpg) but with the words 'Do It' replaced with a MediaWikistyle section edit link. At the bottom, the Westinghouse logo has been replaced with a Wikipedia puzzle piece logo (File:P wiki letter w.svg) and the words 'WAR PRODUCTION CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE' have been replaced with 'WIKIPEDIA: THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA'."

In our human search for information, we must question who is providing the information, as well as what information is being provided. In "Wiki Women: Bringing Women Into Wikipedia through Activism and Pedagogy," Jennifer C. Edwards specifically urges us to consider who is not providing the information, as well as what information is not being provided. Edwards further offers possibilities for teachers--and their students--to address individual and systemic deficiencies in our global body of knowledge.
