Welcome to
WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!
Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to
Humaniki, only 19.81% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed?
Content gender gap is a form of
systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. We invite you to participate, whenever you like, in whatever way suits you and your schedule. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red!
Authority control should be included at the foot of every biography: {{Authority control}}. It will remain hidden until relevant identifiers have been added to Wikidata.
Choose applicable Categories including relevant subcategories of
Category:Women.
If applicable, add a stub template at the foot of an article:{{stub}}.
{{WikiProject Biography| }} or {{WikiProject Biography}}
{{WikiProject Women}} if born after 1950; or {{WikiProject Women's History}}:: if born before 1950.
Editathon banner: {{WIR-204}}
July begins a three-month Women-in-Red focus on women at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as all related art, poetry and other connected topics. It will run through September to cover the
2020 Summer Olympics (23 July - 8 August) and the
2020 Summer Paralympics (24 August - 5 September), taking place in
Tokyo.
We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women associated with the Games. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate. Contributors are also welcome to add articles on any other notable women, 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 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
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.
