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!
Women in Red - Black History Month 2022
.
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-220}}
In February 2022, Women in Red is once again focusing on black women in conjunction with
Black History Month . In this connection, we welcome the collaborative efforts of
AfroCrowd and
Wikipedia:WikiProject Black Lives Matter .
We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about Black women, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in our initiative. 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.
Redlists
These are lists of redlinked articles to be created. A wide variety of redlink lists can be found on our
Redlist index . Those relating to black women are listed below:
There are also individual lists which incorporate black women from the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. These include:
