The Ryerson University Department of Architectural Science is joining the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, Women in Design, Wikiproject Women Wikipedia Design and WikiProject Women in Red, in hosting the Women in Architecture Wikipedia edit-a-thon global campaign of editing events for improving and increasing the presence of cultural, historic, and artistic information on Wikipedia pertaining to the lives and works of women in architecture.

With keystone concurrent events scheduled for Thursday October 15 in Philadelphia, New York City, Los Angeles, and elsewhere, the campaign aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that by its nature combines both.

WiR redlist index: Women in Architecture

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed.

This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources.
