Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/6

Moved over from the Ideas Cafe

 * Redlinks Musicians
 * dates: 10-31 January
 * possible sponsor
 * There has been a discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Women/Women_in_Red about having an editathon on Women in Music. My preference would be for composers and instrumentalists. My reasoning is that music is an extremely important area with major contributions by women while many of our biographies in other fields also include education anyway. Maybe we could reschedule a special event on education later - April or May perhaps?--Ipigott (talk) 13:14, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if we could find a GLAM institution who is interested in doing an in-person editathon on Women in Music during this 3 week period. and  do you have your January calendar sorted out yet? Would you be interested in reaching out to your GLAM contacts about this collaboration? Kirill and Pine: if you haven't read about these collaborations, there's a great story in this week's Signpost detailing the process (and successes).

 * Rosiestep My feeling is that Cascadia lacks a high-potential GLAM partnership that fits this profile. In the longer term it would be great to have the capacity to work on this theme, perhaps with institutions like the Seattle Symphony, KPLU, KBCS, or the EMP Museum. --Pine✉ 22:55, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Winner of Wiki loves Women
On 16 February, it was announced that with the article Malouma a team from Women in Red has won the English-language strand of the Wiki Loves Women competition for biographies on African women. The article on an African singer and politician was written in connection with the focus on Women in Music.--Ipigott (talk) 13:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
