Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!

Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to Humaniki, only 19.81% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome to participate in the work of Women in Red!

Celebrating Women Writers

In April 2016, Women in Red is focusing on women writers. Anyone can take part in this event, 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 writers and journalists who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. Other articles regarding women and writing, such as the works they created, and so on, are also welcome. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. See the list of red links 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


Supporting organizations and events:

This month (April 2016) there is a prize on offer to the person who contributes the most articles on Welsh women writers in coordination with Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon. Whoever contributes the most new articles and expansions in the month will be awarded a book on 100 Great Welsh Women. A list of Welsh women can be obtained here. If interested sign up on the page and you may claim the prize at the end of month near the bottom of here.

We also have the support of these in-person events in New York City. Please check out their progress and attend if you're in the area:
