Women's History Month 2018 including Art+Feminism article campaign and Whose Knowledge image campaign
Hello and welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR) whose objective is to turn redlinks into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's biographies and women's works. Did you know that according to WHGI only 17.53% 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. Women in Red warmly welcomes you!

In March this year, in order to attract maximum participation, we are holding just this one virtual editathon in connection with
International Women's Day (March 8th) and
Women's History Month . 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)
Our March 2018 event is a collaboration between Women in Red and two other organizations:
Art+Feminism and
Whose Knowledge? .*
As usual, we will be offering our full support for all the activities supported by Art+Feminism . Below, you will find links to many lists of missing articles about various types of artists and feminists, as well as Boundbreakers , that is, women throughout the world who are really making a difference (such as activists, and so forth). These curated lists are meant to provide inspiration. But you are, of course, welcome to contribute articles on women who have contributed to art in the widest sense or who have been involved in feminism or generally campaigning for better conditions for women. Articles on women's works, associations, and writings are also welcome.
In addition, we invite you to upload as many new images as possible, whether on Wikipedia or Commons, in support of the
Whose Knowledge? image campaign .
As we are celebrating Women's History Month, we also welcome coverage of women who have played an important historical role, whatever their interests or profession. They can be included under
#1day1woman .
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 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.
