| Hello and welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR) whose objective is to turn redlinks into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's biographies and women's works, broadly construed. Did you know that according to WHGI only 16.9% 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. Women in Red warmly welcomes you! |

Thank you for joining the Women in Red online node of Art+Feminism, which runs from March 1 to 31! 2017 is the second year that Women in Red is supporting A+F in connection with International Women's Day and WikiWomen's History Month. 2017 is the first time, Women in Red is also supporting The Women You Have Never Met by donating all articles we create/improve during March to this m:Iberocoop initiative. Anyone can take part, whatever their previous experience, and as this is a virtual editathon, enthusiasts can participate from around the globe, at whatever time is convenient for you, in whatever language you prefer.
The main goals of the event are:
- to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most 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)
- to encourage participation in multiple language Wikipedias
