 | This page in a nutshell: Writing about women on Wikipedia doesn't stop after you've created a biography. |
Writing women into the encyclopedia of Wikipedia can start with the creation of a notable woman's biography. However, in order for the biography to be more easily found online, we also need to add her name and link to other relevant articles on Wikipedia. This essay will describe some methods of creating multiple discovery points for women's biographies as well as discuss strategies for writing women's contributions into relevant articles. These strategies should also be used when writing about other gender identities, transgender people and/or other marginalized groups of people. Women and people belonging to marginalized groups have been systematically excluded from many historical accounts of their areas of endeavor. This happens throughout the world and across different subject areas. However, recent scholarship has focused on uncovering women and marginalized groups in history. On Wikipedia, providing more ways to locate the biography increases visibility online for these groups of people and for your biography or article specifically.
