Welcome to WikiProject Women Do News (WDN)! We raise the visibility of women, women-identified and non-binary journalists by increasing the quantity and enhancing the quality of their Wikipedia biographies. We do this in several ways:
- Write new Wikipedia biographies of journalists
- Edit existing Wikipedia biographies to improve their quality
- Identify women journalists who should be on Wikipedia
- Facilitate meetups for edit-a-thons and workshops to research women in journalism, edit their Wikipedia biographies and teach others how to become Wikipedia editors
Check out the articles we've created or improved. We also maintain a nominations list for women journalists without biography articles, or whose existing biography needs improvement.
Women Do News monthly flash edits are a great place to start volunteering for this organization. WDN meets monthly on Zoom to work on articles, update each other on how our Wiki writing has been going, and generally check-in. Flash edits are a very low-key place to connect with other Wiki volunteers and troubleshoot the writing and editing process. Feel free to bring a beverage or a snack and come hang out.
