 International Women's Day (UK):

is on 8 March 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia Wednesdays




 * Welcome!

Women in Red (WiR) and Care International are celebrating Women's History Month and International Women's Day—8 March— with editathons with extensive support for new contributors creating their first articles about women. Wikimedia UK are helping us organise 4 introductions to creating articles about notable women. These are held of the four Wikipedia Wednesdays in March.

By means of simply presented exercises in the basic features of Wikipedia editing, we hope to see newcomers embark on their first creative assignments. Those of you who have not yet tried your hand at beginning new articles will be guided on the road to success.

What else?
 * This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors. WiR also maintains a list of biographical resources to aid in searching for sources.
 * If you share any of the articles on social media, please indicate this next to the article name.

Questions or comments during the event?
