Women in Red
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 16.9% 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!

Women in Red is hosting a virtual editathon from March 1 to 31, 2017, on Role Models from Women's Universities in connection with a physical editathon at Newnham College, Cambridge, on Wednesday, 8 March. It coincides with our activities for International Women's Day and WikiWomen's History Month. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work.

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)

Worldwide virtual editathon

(Editing guide (pdf) created for this Women in Red event by Clem Rutter

Following the in-person event on 8 March at Newnham College, Cambridge, the focus on Role Models will continue until the end of the month. This will allow all those wishing to create or improve articles on alumnae who have gained notability to contribute while providing an opportunity for newcomers to continue to edit in a mediated environment. Please post any problems or requests for assistance on our WiR talk page.

Women's colleges

[edit]

The main focus started as creating biographies of the alumnae and faculty of Newnham College and other colleges at Cambridge University. Similarly, those participating in the online editathon, are encouraged to create biographies of notable women from colleges elsewhere in Britain and throughout the world. Historically these women may have only been permitted into what were then women's colleges. As the editathon is being held on International Women's Day, participants are also invited to contribute to biographies of artists, feminists, and other notable women whatever their occupation.
