    We first thought of Stage+Screen but then decided to extend it to Stage+Screen+Radio+Podcast so that we could include women associated with any of the behind-the-scenes occupations in stage productions or broadcasting: directors, screenwriters, producers, cinemaphotographers and editors, to name just a few. In connection with radio, we are also focusing on narrators and podcasters as well as pioneers. In order to attract wider collaboration, we hope to collaborate with wikiprojects on Television, Film, Stagecraft, Theatre, Musical Theatre, Radio, and Podcasting. Those involved in AfroCine Months of African Cinema which is continuing until 30 November are also welcome. The redlists below should help you to cover women from all the related occupations.

    Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women associated with stage productions and broadcasting around the world, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

    The main goals of the event are:

    • to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of prominent women
    • to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
    • to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
    • to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)
