Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/201


Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!
Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that only 20.38% 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. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red!

Welcome!

This June, Women in Red is focusing on jewellers and watchmakers. We hope to encourage articles on both contemporary and historical women who have designed or created jewelry or clocks and watches. This can include goldsmiths, silversmith and gemologists as well as those involved in business initiatives.

We hope both new and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women jewellers and horologists, as well as their achievements, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative.

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 this 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)

What else?

Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to the Commons.
This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.

Thank you!
