Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/301

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 19.97% 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. We invite you to participate, whenever you like, in whatever way suits you and your schedule. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red!

In March 2024, Women in Red wants to make it easier to find women and non-binary people on Wikipedia. This is a new event! We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating redirects and adding categories and wikilinks to make it easier to find women.

Here are some ways you can make it easier to find women:

• Add categories including relevant subcategories of Category:Women
• Add wikilinks on other pages to the page such as a relevant list of people (e.g. "List of women writers", "List of [nationality] writers"), or check the Find Link tool and see if you can find her on other pages
• Create redirects from alternative names (e.g. her performance name, birth name, pseudonym) (see information about redirects here)

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to work on articles or add new articles about any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under the topics of the month or our comprehensive #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia (in an easier way than creating new biographies!)
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works.
