Welcome!

From July 2023 to June 2024, Women in Red is embarking on their second collective "alphabet run", where editors work consecutively through the letters of the English alphabet. The August 2023 letters are C and D, and can be applied to any first, middle or last name of a subject e.g. Dorothy Carroll, or individuals named like Gina Cole or Dinah Hawken would both be appropriate.

• July 2023 - A & B
• August 2023 - C & D
• September 2023 - E & F
• October 2023 - G & H
• November 2023 - I & J
• December 2023 - K & L
• January 2024 - M & N
• February 2024 - O & P
• March 2024 - Q & R
• April 2024 - S & T
• May 2024 - U, V, W
• June 2024 - X, Y & Z

For the rerun, from now on we will be providing lists of the most frequently redlisted women. Based on database searches, these are listed under the first name in the article title. As the searches take account of women's given names, you will discover there are quite a number which are inappropriate, for example those like Chris or Drew which may also be used for men. If you decide to choose to write a biography for these lists, you might like to mention "most frequent" when you add it under New or upgraded articles.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women.

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under the topics of the month or our comprehensive #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 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 and improved articles and images through social media and via nominations to Main Page features "Did You Know?" and "In The News".

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create month by 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 share any of the articles or images on social media, or successfully nominate for Main Page, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

Thank you!

Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)
