Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/280

In August, Wiki Women in Red's geofocus is centered on women from the Arab League countries, several of which are frequently covered in news reports. See the Redlists section below for a full listing.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women from or associated with these countries.

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.

Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)
Red-link lists of women from a wide variety of fields can be accessed from the WiR Redlink index. Those which might be most useful for women from the Arab League countries are listed below. Please note: listing does not guarantee qualification for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Please read Primer for creating women's biographies.
