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 19.92% 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! |
Welcome!

From October to December 2019, we are holding a three-month contest on stubs relating to women's biographies. The prizes will be virtual, mainly in the form of recognition of the top three participants in each section for each of the three months. There are two sections, one dealing principally with quantity, the other addressing quality.
In order to participate, contributors must be members of Women in Red. Anyone can register as a member by using the box on the main WiR page.
Please note that if you have created a new stub in the first section, you cannot use it yourself during the same month as the basis of a destubbed article in the second section. Other users may however enhance the new stubs created in the first section. Participants can enhance their own stubs the month following their creation (for example those created as stubs in October can be enhanced to start class in November).
You can use this article's talk page if you need assistance or wish to comment on the contest.
The main goals of the event are:
