Cyflwyno Prosiect Amrywedd y Bywgraffiadur Cymreig
- Prif amcan y Project Amrywedd yw gwella’r gynrychiolaeth o amrywedd hanes Cymru, gyda ffocws arbennig ar rhywedd, ethnigrwydd a sut yr ydym yn meddwl am ymerodraeth, trefedigaethedd a chaethwasiaeth.
Y sefyllfa ar hyn o bryd
- Mae’n wir dweud bod yr angen i adolygu’r Bywgraffiadur Cymreig wedi bodoli ers sbel oherwydd datblygiadau mewn ysgolheictod. Mae newidiadau mewn agweddau a’r symudiad ‘Black Lives Matter’ yn cynyddu’r angen dros ddiweddaru. Bydd Prosiect Amrywedd y Bywgraffiadur yn edrych ar y driniaeth o faterion yn ymwneud â hil a rhan Cymru yn hanes yr Ymerodraeth Brydeinig.
- Ar hyn o bryd, mae’r Bywgraffiadur yn cynnwys bywgraffiadau byr o dros 5,000 o bobl sydd wedi cyfrannu’n sylweddol at gymdeithas yng Nghymru neu du hwnt. Er gwaethaf cynnydd yn y nifer o erthyglau am fenywod, mae cydbwysedd o ran rhywedd yn parhau yn flaenoriaeth. Yn ogystal, hoffai’r prosiect hefyd dynnu sylw at hunaniaethau sy’n cwmpasu rhyw a rhywioldeb. Nid yw’r Bywgraffiadur wastad wedi cynrychioli pobl anabl yn briodol chwaith.
Newidiadau i’r Bywgraffiadur Cymreig
- Diolch i gyllideb drwy Gynllun Gweithredu Cymru Wrth-hiliol Llywodraeth Cymru, byddwn yn cyflawni’r gwaith canlynol:
- Cywiro ac ychwanegu gwybodaeth ffeithiol a ffynonellau i erthyglau sydd eisoes yn bodoli
- Ail-ysgrifennu erthyglau ar destunau sensitif ac unigolion dadleuol, er enghraifft Thomas Picton a Henry Morton Stanley
- Ysgrifennu erthyglau newydd ar bobl sydd ar goll
- Mae’n gallu cymryd amser i ysgrifennu a chyhoeddi erthyglau ar y Bywgraffiadur. Fodd bynnag, drwy ymchwil wedi’i dargedu a chyfres o weithdai cymunedol ac ysgrifennu, yr ydym yn gobeithio cyflymu’r broses o adnabod enwau i gomisiynu, ysgrifennu a chyhoeddi erthyglau bywgraffiadol.
- Am fwy o wybodaeth am y meini prawf ar gyfer erthyglau am unigolion neu grwpiau, darllenwch y dudalen am Gefndir y Bywgraffiadur.
