 '''Welcome to Women in Red's

Black Women multi-language online editathon

February 2017'''

In connection with Black History Month, in February 2017 Women in Red is focusing on Black Women. Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles regarding black women both past and present, as well as their works, writings, organizations, and awards. The virtual edit-a-thon allows newcomers and established enthusiasts from around the globe to participate. See the list of red-linked Black women's history for guidance.

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

We'll be working on articles from these lists

 * Crowd-sourced list: Black women's history
 * Dictionary: Black Women in America: An Historical Encyclopedia
 * Dictionary: Afro-American encyclopaedia
 * Dictionary: Women of Distinction
 * Dictionary: Who's Who among the Colored Baptists
 * Redlinked books by black women
 * The Mothers (currently a redirect to author's page, Brit Bennett--long list of sources on Bennett entry's talk page)
 * Homegoing (2016 novel) by Yaa Gyasi -- reviews in New Yorker, NYT, NPR, Guardian
 * Life on Mars (poetry collection) by Tracy K. Smith -- Pulitzer Prize winner ✅
 * Longing to Tell by Tricia Rose -- New York Times review, Publishers Weekly, Signs ✅
 * Silver Sparrow (novel) by Tayari Jones -- NPR review, WaPo review, NYT


 * Also see our Navbox at the bottom of this page; contains Wikidata lists of redlinks by nationality which includes the countries of Africa, South America and the Caribbean which may also be useful

Special requests
