Women in Red

Hi there, Composter1216, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have another member interested in the environment. From your edits to date, you seem to have grasped the basics of Wikipedia editing but when you feel like creating your first biography, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:47, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Composter1216, I see you have updated WEAD. I moved the page (with a redirect) to Women Eco Artists Dialog. You deleted the logo from the infobox, but a google search seems to show that the logo was retained. I have added it back in. Please ping me if they are discontinuing the logo. Thanks.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
