 Women in Green | Good Article Editathon

June 2023 – Wildcard Edition



From June 1–30, WikiProject Women in Green is hosting its fourth 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 sign up, 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 4533 articles out of 0 Good Articles on the site, roughly 0%. 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.

What does "Wildcard Edition" mean? We're encouraging editors to work on articles about any and all women and women's works during this event. Want to improve an article about a Bollywood actress? Go for it. A pioneering female climate scientist? Absolutely. An award-winning book or film by a woman? 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.

Editors may be interested in working on some of the following article suggestions, but are welcome to choose articles from elsewhere:


 * María Conesa - Spanish-Mexican film actress (1892-1978)
 * Emily Davies - English suffragist and women's rights activist (1830-1921)
 * Senedu Gebru - Ethiopian politician (1916-2009)
 * Janet Gibson - Belizean biologist, Goldman Environmental Prize recipient
 * Grace Hartigan - American abstract expressionist painter (1922-2008)
 * Lucienne Heurtelou - Haitian diplomat and First Lady of Haiti (1921-2006)
 * Im Yunjidang - Korean writer and philosopher (1721-1793)
 * Rita Joe - Mi'kmaw poet and songwriter (1932-2007)
 * The Joy Luck Club - 1989 novel by American author Amy Tan
 * Kitty party - An informal Indian savings/microfinance club, usually organized by women
 * Margaret E. Knight - American inventor (1838-1914)
 * Hellé Nice - French model, dancer and racecar driver (1900-1984)
 * Mary Ann Shadd - American-Canadian publisher, anti-slavery activist (1823-1893)
 * Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir - Icelandic explorer (born c. 980 AD)
 * Jan Todd - American professor and powerlifter (born 1952)
 * Women's Islamic Games - International multi-sport event organized by the Islamic Federation of Women's Sport

WiG 20-Minute Article Assessments During the editathon period, 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*

 * 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.
 * 3) GA nominators must submit their article nominations during the period of June 1–30, although they may choose an article and begin prep 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 14. The extended deadline takes into account that many editathon nominations may not be ready for review until late June.
 * 5) GA nominations that are quick-failed will not be counted as a qualifying editathon submission for the nominator, but articles that are fully reviewed and failed may stay. Quick-failed articles will remain a qualifying editathon submission for the reviewer as long as reasons for quick-failing are clearly and satisfactorily stated in the review.

Event barnstar
Participants who nominate or fully review at least one qualifying GA nomination during the editathon will receive a special 2023 Women in Green barnstar. The event coordinator will give out stars after the end of the event.

For GA nominators

 * 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 any images properly tagged and licensed? Make a plan and work your way through these improvements.
 * 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) Once 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 list your article under either Goal #1 or #2 of WiG's 2023 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

 * 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.
 * 3) Optional: If you are a first-time reviewer, you may wish to contact a Good Article Mentor for additional one-on-one support or 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 list the article under Goal #3 of WiG's 2023 Goals.
 * 5) Important note: 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.
 * 6) 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 (optional)
During editathon events, this support is intended to help less-experienced GA nominators build their confidence and avoid frustrating quick-fail situations. The WiG 20-Minute Assessment team for June 2023 includes BennyOnTheLoose and  Mujinga. Team members will complete a brief 20-minute assessment of your GA 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.
