Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/1

From October 1–31, WikiProject Women in Green is hosting its first virtual editathon event with the following goals: to nominate and review GA-class articles related to the topic of women's rights, and to help editors build a greater capacity for bringing articles up to GA status. Participants of all experience levels are welcome! We will provide instructions, learning resources, and assistance from editors more experienced with the GA process. The coordinators for this editathon are Alanna the Brave and Goldsztajn.

What is Women in Green? WikiProject Women in Green works to bring core articles on women and women's works up to minimum Good Article (GA) status. Our aim is to improve the general reliability and quality of Wikipedia while also addressing gender bias in Wikipedia content. Currently, articles about women and women's works comprise just 4130 articles out of 40,179 Good Articles on the site, roughly 10.3%. Each year we organize a number of specific group goals related to nominating and reviewing GA articles, and one of our 2021 goals is focused on the topic of women's rights (hence this event's theme).

Which articles count under the theme of "women's rights"? We're interpreting this theme broadly. Articles about women's suffrage, gender equality laws and other legal topics are included, but we also welcome articles about people or institutions who have encountered and/or challenged discrimination against women. This could include articles about women working in traditionally male-dominated fields, cisgender or transgender women who have fought to overturn discriminatory laws or practices, or any people (regardless of gender) who have advocated for the rights of women and girls.

Editors may find the following links helpful for finding women's rights article candidates, but are welcome to choose articles from elsewhere: List of women's rights activists, List of women's organizations, List of suffragists and suffragettes, List of women's firsts, Timeline of women's legal rights (other than voting), Timeline of women's suffrage, and Women's rights.

WiG 20-Minute Article Assessments During the editathon period, GA nominators have the option to request a basic assessment of their article from an experienced Women in Green editor before nominating it for a full GA review. The WiG 20-Minute Article Assessment will aim to identify any major issues that remain in your article and suggest improvements for you to focus on. This support is intended to help less-experienced GA nominators build their confidence and avoid "quick-fail" situations. Make your request for a 20-minute article assessment here.
