< Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red
    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 20.003% 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!

    Welcome!

    Each year Women in Red chooses a theme to run throughout the year. Music was chosen by editors as the theme for 2025. In addition to teachers, educators, administrators and researchers, the topic can also cover schools founded by women, schools for girls and women, and notable women alumni. You are also welcome to write about significant awards for women in education and the books they have written.

    This virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. There is a Competition for the first editor to create 25 new "start" articles about women (not from US/UK). The article must have 1500 characters of original text, 3 references and do try and add a picture. When you add it to New Articles below then can you add your name and number created so far, e.g. Marie Curie Wikieditor666 #1. The prize is a tee shirt and a barnstar mailed to any address.

    What else?

    • The lists of redlinks should provide inspiration.

    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
    Thank you!
