Women in Red

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR) whose objective is to turn redlinks into blue ones within the scope of women's biographies and women's works, broadly construed. Did you know that less than 16% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? "Content gender gap" is a form of systemic bias. This is the issue we address at WiR, an affiliate of WikiProject Women. If you'd like to create women's biographies and articles about women's works, we warmly welcome you!

Women in Red is running a virtual editathon from January 10 to 31 on women in music. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many past and present notable women in music who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. See the (add redlink list here) for guidance.

The main goals of the edit-a-thon 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
