 Women in leadership | September 2015   Women in Red

Did you know that 15% of the biographies on Wikipedia are about women? Not impressed? Women in Red (WiR) focuses on "content gender gap". If you'd like to help contribute articles on women and women's works, we warmly welcome you!

The Women in Leadership Virtual World Edit-a-thon will be held from 7 to 20 September 2015. Anyone can take part whatever your previous experience. The event targets more focused work on the coverage of women in Wikipedia.

Goals
At WikiProject Women in Red, we have noticed serious gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of women in leadership. To help remedy the situation, we are focusing on a Virtual World Edit-a-thon from 7 to 20 September 2015 when we hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many past and present prominent women leaders who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. A virtual edit-a-thon will allow enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the event, choosing names from our preliminary Women in leadership list. Relative newcomers to Wikipedia will be able to work with more experienced mentors who will assist them in creating or improving articles, and will provide on-going guidance in the future.

The main goals of the edit-a-thon are therefore:


 * 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 the neglected area of women in leadership
 * to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works

Yes
I would like to take part in the event over the two weeks from 7 to 20 September 2015

Not this time
I am keen to support Women in Red but cannot make it this time:


 * 1) Thanks for the invite. I don't usually work to these time-bound deadlines and contribute when and where I can. I've added a ton of female athlete biographies from the IAAF Championship this month (here and here).  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:23, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Thank you kindly for the invite. Being the sloth that I am, I tend to wander about and have trouble staying within projects, but right now I'm on a patch of nice female biographies so I think I'll stick around there for a while now since it coincides with this event. w.carter  -Talk  10:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * 3) Many thanks for the invite. I have a long list of needed women's bios in the areas I work on (visual arts, architecture, writing) so am going to pass on this for now. With three cheers for this idea, Alafarge (talk) 20:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * 4) Belatedly created an article for this project today! Pam  D  09:46, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Articles to be created/translated
We have drawn up an initial list of prominent women leaders who have not yet been covered on the English Wikipedia. The list is arranged by country and contains links to basic information on each individual. Many of the names have been drawn from the world's most widely published lists of women leaders in business, finance, politics and government as well as from historic sources.

Please add any other missing articles for creation here:


 * Kathryn M. Hobbs, Captain, USN (Ret.)
 * Ruth Hammond Broe, was a Colonel in USMCR, received posthumously the The Colonel Julia E. Hamblet Award from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation for her work in furthering "the recognition of the history of women who have earned the title Marine"
 * Mary Childs Nerney (NAACP national secretary)


 * Woman presidents of the American Chemical Society
 * Elsa Reichmanis (2003)
 * Elizabeth Ann Nalley "Ann" (2006)
 * Catherine T. Hunt "Katie" (2007)
 * Nancy B. Jackson (2011)
 * Marinda Li Wu (2013) Working in my Sandbox. --Roxyuru (talk) 23:27, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Diane Grob-Schmidt (2015)
 * Samsi Queen of Arabs during the Biblical period. Expanded.
 * Shanakdakhete to expand
 * Kumud Srinivasan Can we use linkedin.com as source?-- Nvvchar . 14:42, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, provided that you use independent sources as well of course!♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:53, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Articles to expand/improve
Please add articles on women in leadership which need further work:
 * Rheta Childe Dorr, born November 2, 1866? 1868? or like on the files --> 1872-1948 Lotje (talk) 12:50, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Lillian Exum Clement - dates as given in article (1894–1925) do not match those in the North Carolina encyclopedia (12 Mar. 1886–21 Feb. 1925). That's a source I consider reliable, but no other source supports the birthdate it gives...but the resources I can find are scant enough that I'm not sure who to believe. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:12, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Margherita Cogo - one-line stub. Yoninah (talk) 00:45, 17 September 2015 (UTC) ✅ or someone who speaks/reads Italian and you please confirm my translations of data. Thanks! SusunW (talk) 18:27, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, SusunW! BTW quite a number of the articles listed under "Outcomes" are one-line stubs. This makes the number of our newly-created articles misleading, as those stubs will certainly show up at AFD in the near future. Yoninah (talk) 23:06, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * denada I am tagging them all to make sure they have some WikiProject related to women and hopefully they will then end up on our "Alerts" list, if they are nominated. I wish they would figure out how to automate adding WikiProjects. SusunW (talk) 00:01, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
