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, according to Humaniki, only 20.003% 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. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome to participate in the work of Women in Red!

Women in Red is hosting a virtual editathon from March 1 to 31, 2016, on Art+Feminism in connection with International Women's Day and in collaboration with WikiWomen's History Month and WikiProject Women artists. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work.

The 2016 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thons will take place at various venues all over the world. Last year, over 1,500 participants at more than 75 events participated, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia. We hope to double those results in 2016 by offering this virtual event so that anyone, anywhere, can participate. The focus areas include: artists, works of art by women, social reformers, activists, and feminists.

Other goals of the edit-a-thon include:

  • 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
