Women in Green | Good Article Edit-a-thon
October 2023 – Around the World in 31 Days
From October 1–31, WikiProject Women in Green is hosting its fifth virtual editathon event with the following goals: to nominate and review GA-class articles related to women and women's works, and to help editors build a greater capacity for bringing articles up to GA status. Participants of all experience levels are welcome! We will provide instructions, learning resources, suggested article topics, and assistance from editors more experienced with the GA process. To participate, just add yourself to the list of participants.
What is Women in Green?
WikiProject Women in Green works to bring core articles on women and women's works up to minimum Good Article (GA) status. Our aim is to improve the general reliability and quality of Wikipedia while also addressing gender bias in Wikipedia content. Currently, articles about women and women's works comprise just 4671 articles out of 39,562 Good Articles on the site, roughly 11.8%. Each year we organize a number of specific group goals related to nominating and reviewing GA articles, and this event is partly organized to help us reach and/or surpass those goals.
Around the World in 31 Days
During this event, we're encouraging editors to work on articles about women and women's works (books, films, etc.) from as many different geographical regions as possible. We hope to collectively nominate and/or review articles about women from at least 31 different countries – this may refer to where article subjects were born or spent a significant portion of their lives, and countries may be currently existing or previously existing nations. Want to improve an article about an American or Mexican actress? Go for it. A pioneering female scientist from Nigeria? Absolutely. A poem by an Ancient Roman author? Yes! Broader international articles about women are welcome too. There are thousands of interesting articles about women and women's works on Wikipedia, and this event is here to provide a focused, supportive environment for us as we work to bring some of them up to GA status.
Article Suggestions
Editors may be interested in working on some of the following article suggestions, but are welcome to choose articles from elsewhere:
WiG 20-Minute Article Assessments
Are you new to the GA nominating process (or just want some early feedback)? GA nominators have the option to request a basic assessment of their article from an experienced Women in Green editor before nominating it for a full GA review. The WiG 20-Minute Article Assessment will aim to identify any major issues that remain in your article and suggest improvements for you to focus on. This support is intended to help less-experienced GA nominators build their confidence and avoid frustrating "quick-fail" situations. Make your request for a 20-minute article assessment here.
Participants who nominate or fully review at least one qualifying GA nomination during the editathon will receive a special 2023 Women in Green barnstar. The event coordinator will give out stars after the end of the event.

This special support feature is intended to help less-experienced GA nominators build their confidence and avoid frustrating quick-fail situations. The WiG 20-Minute Assessment team for 2023 includes BennyOnTheLoose, Vanamonde, and Mujinga. Team members will complete a brief 20-minute assessment of your project and let you know if they see any major article issues that might lead to a quick-fail in a formal GA review.
To request a 20-minute assessment (or "mini-review") for an article you're working on, list your username and article below and add your request to the top of the list. A member of our assessment team will aim to tackle your request within 48 hours and will leave their comments on the talk page of your article.
