  Women in Red

Did you know that 15.89% 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!

Women in Red is running a ten-day virtual editathon from December 5 to 15. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many past and present notable women in religion who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. See the list of red-linked women in religion articles to be created for guidance.

The main goals of the edit-a-thon 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

Articles to be created



 * There is a list of historic and/or prominent women in this evolving, crowd-sourced list of red-linked articles broken down by countries →here←.
 * And there is an article with ordination background, names and red-links →here←.
 * And a User's list of red-links →here←.
 * Another list of red-links (based on number of articles in other language Wikipedias) →here←.
 * Or create an article about one of the red-linked women whose photographs appears in this section (hint: each has an article on another language Wikipedia).
