    From June 1–30, WikiProject Women in Green is hosting its sixth virtual editathon event with the following goals: to nominate and review GA-class articles related to women and women's works, and to help editors build a greater capacity for bringing articles up to GA status. Participants of all experience levels are welcome! We will provide instructions, learning resources, suggested article topics, and assistance from editors more experienced with the GA process. To participate, just add yourself to the list of participants.

    What is Women in Green?

    WikiProject Women in Green works to bring core articles on women and women's works up to minimum Good Article (GA) status. Our aim is to improve the general reliability and quality of Wikipedia while also addressing gender bias in Wikipedia content. Currently, articles about women and women's works comprise just 4849 articles out of 40,560 Good Articles on the site, roughly 12%. Each year we organize a number of specific group goals related to nominating and reviewing GA articles, and this event is partly organized to help us reach and/or surpass those goals.

    Going Back in Time

    During this event, we're encouraging editors to work on articles about women and women's works (books, films, etc.) from as many different time periods as possible. We hope to collectively nominate and/or review articles about women from each era of human history (i.e. ancient history, the middle ages and modern history) and from at least 20 different centuries – this may refer to when the article subjects were born or when they spent the most significant portion of their lives. Want to improve an article about an ancient queen or medieval empress? Go for it. How about a pioneering woman scientist? Absolutely. An advancement in women's education? Yes! There are thousands of interesting articles about women and women's works on Wikipedia, and this event is here to provide a focused, supportive environment for us as we work to bring some of them up to GA status.

    WiG 20-Minute Article Assessments

    Are you new to the GA nominating process (or just want some early feedback)? GA nominators have the option to request a basic assessment of their article from an experienced Women in Green editor before nominating it for a full GA review. The WiG 20-Minute Article Assessment will aim to identify any major issues that remain in your article and suggest improvements for you to focus on. This support is intended to help less-experienced GA nominators build their confidence and avoid frustrating "quick-fail" situations. Make your request for a 20-minute article assessment here.

    *Event rules*

    [edit]
    1. All qualifying GA nominations (whether submitted or reviewed) must relate to women or women's works.
    2. Nominating editors should have made a significant contribution to their article. Co-nominations (with editors partnering) are acceptable and encouraged!
    3. GA nominators must submit their article nominations during the period of June 1–30, although they may choose an article and begin preparation work before then.
    4. GA reviewers must begin their reviews during the period of June 1–30, but may take additional time to complete those reviews up until July 31. The extended deadline takes into account that many editathon nominations may not be ready for review until late July.
    5. GA nominations that are quick-failed will not be counted as a qualifying editathon submission for either a nominator or a reviewer, but articles nominated in good faith that are fully reviewed and failed may stay.

    Event barnstar

    [edit]

    Participants who nominate or fully review at least one qualifying GA nomination during the editathon will receive a special 2024 Women in Green barnstar. The event coordinator will give out stars after the end of the event.

    [edit]

    For GA nominators

    [edit]
    1. Familiarize yourself with the Six GA criteria. Check out the resources and tools section below. Have questions? Ask them on the editathon talk page.
    2. Choose the article you want to work on. This doesn't have to be an article you created yourself – it can be any existing Wikipedia article currently rated Stub, Start, C, B or A Class. Keep scope in mind: bringing an article up to GA Class takes time, so make sure you have the time and research resources necessary to tackle your chosen subject.
    3. Assess which aspects of the article still need improvements to meet the GA criteria. Does it need stronger sources? An expanded lead section? Clearer grammar and punctuation? Are the images properly tagged and licensed? Make a plan and work your way through these improvements. Make sure you examine all sources currently cited in the article (some may be unreliable, outdated, or poorly incorporated).
    4. Optional: before nominating the article for GA review, post at the 20-Minute Article Assessment page to request a basic 20-minute assessment from an experienced Women in Green GA reviewer. They will scan the article for any remaining major issues and suggest improvements for you to focus on.
    5. When you think your article is ready, submit your GA nomination for review. Congrats! Add your nominated article to the "Article Outcomes" list at the bottom of this page. You are also welcome to include your work as part of WikiProject Women in Green's yearly outcomes by listing your article under Goal #1 of WiG's 2024 Goals.
    6. Optional: Once your article has successfully passed a GA review (or if you've created a new article from scratch, or expanded it x 5), you may nominate the article for inclusion in the "Did You Know..." (DYK) column on the Wikipedia main page (please see the DYK Rules and DYK Instructions for how to do this). There is an eligibility period of 7 days to do this. GA Editathon articles that have been featured in DYK can be listed in the "Article Outcomes" list at the bottom of this page.

    For GA reviewers

    [edit]
    1. Familiarize yourself with the Six GA criteria. Check out the resources and tools section below. Have more questions? Ask them on the editathon talk page.
    2. Choose an article nomination you wish to review (either from the editathon Article Outcomes list below, or from the broader GA nominations page), and follow these instructions for beginning the review. You are encouraged to complete your initial review comments in 7 days or less. To be counted as part of this editathon, a GA review must be thorough and complete, regardless of the nominated article's outcome (successful or unsuccessful). Make sure your review comments clearly state why you think the nomination does or does not meet the six GA criteria.
    3. Optional: If you are a first-time reviewer, you may wish to put out a call for a second opinion before closing your review.
    4. Once you are satisfied that the nominated article has either passed or failed, close the review. Congrats! Add the reviewed article to the "Article Outcomes" list on this page. You are also welcome to include your work as part of WikiProject Women in Green's yearly outcomes by listing the article under Goal #2 of WiG's 2024 Goals.
    5. Optional: Once you have reviewed and successfully passed a GA article, the article may be nominated for inclusion in the "Did You Know..." (DYK) column on the Wikipedia main page (please see the DYK Rules and DYK Instructions for how to do this). You may encourage the original GA nominator to start this process, or you may complete it on their behalf, and there is an eligibility period of 7 days to do this. GA Editathon articles that have been featured in DYK can be listed in the "Article Outcomes" list at the bottom of this page.

    20-minute assessment (mini-reviews)

    [edit]

    This special support feature is intended to help less-experienced GA nominators build their confidence and avoid frustrating quick-fail situations. The WiG 20-Minute Assessment team for 2024 includes BennyOnTheLoose, Caeciliusinhorto, and Alanna the Brave. Team members will complete an informal 20-minute assessment of your project and let you know if they see any major article issues that might lead to a quick-fail in a formal GA review.

    To request a 20-minute assessment (or "mini-review") for an article you're working on, list your username and article below and add your request to the top of the list. A member of our assessment team will aim to tackle your request within 48 hours and will leave their comments on the talk page of your article.

    Hello WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup:

    WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

    Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

    We hope to see you there!
