WikiProject Women in Red

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR), a WikiProject whose objective is to turn "redlinks" into blue ones within the project scope. The project scope includes women -real and fictional- their biographies and their works, broadly construed. In November 2014, only just over 15% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were on women. Since then, we have managed to improve the situation slightly, bringing the figure up to 16.38%, as of 7 August 2016. But that means only 226,706 of our 1,383,736 biographies are about women. Not impressed? "Content gender gap" is a form of systemic bias, and WiR addresses it in a positive way. We do this by hosting edit-a-thons on various topics, and socializing the scope and objective via social media. We invite you to take part whenever and however you wish. There is no requirement to participate in everything we do, or to even sign up.

If the objective and scope of our project interest you, please join in the discussion on our talkpage or jump in and create articles. You might like to start by participating in the editathon on Wikipedia and United Nations Women Project until August 12 or those on Indigenous Women and Polar Women for the whole of August, in addition to the ongoing Women Scientists. We warmly welcome you.

The former Announcements page is being kept for editing history.

As of Rosalind Goodrich Bates, Women in Red has 141 featured pictures, making up 1.75% of the total number thereof. This count does not include any featured pictures of, by, or otherwise related to women that were featured before the project's start (and is a bit patchy throughout, honestly, because it's hard to decide if non-Women in Red women should be included in the list).
