 First Ladies



 Welcome!

Women in Red are hosting a virtual editathon from 1 to 31 December 2017 on First ladies, providing an opportunity for you to create or improve articles on women who actually carry the title of First Lady or who are married to a national leader. The names of many of these are redirected to articles about their husbands but they may well deserve a biography in their own right.

The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work.
 * The lists of redlinks below should provide inspiration.
 * This essay on creating women's biographies might be helpful to newer editors.
 * 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
 * to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)

 * Crowd-sourced Spouses of national leaders redlink list
 * Wikidata list of First Ladies
 * List of current United States first spouses
