In January 2021, Women in Red is focusing on women environmentalists and those involved in climate science. As environmental concerns receive ever wider attention, women environmentalists, conservationists and ecologists also deserve recognition.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about environmentalist women, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon encourages enthusiasts from around the globe to participate. You are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

What else?

Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.
This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
If you tweet about any of the articles, or upload any of the images to Pinterest, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

Thank you!
