Knowledge (XXG)

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 19.94% of the English Knowledge (XXG)'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!

Every year in September, Women in Red focuses on women writers and their works from around the world. In 2024 we congratulate members of WikiProject Women writers on its 10th anniversary and celebrate this milestone with them.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many notable women writers, past and present, who are still redlinked on English Knowledge (XXG). Other articles related to women and books by women, such as their literary organizations and awards, as well as the works they have created, are also encouraged.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Knowledge (XXG) by creating biographies of prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
• to support Knowledge (XXG) 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

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 Commons.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
• If you share any of the articles on social media (thank you!), please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

We have a wide variety of red-link lists. Some of the most relevant to this priority are listed below.

Note: for those listed in the Dictionary of Women Worldwide, some corresponding entries may be found at Encyclopedia.com or, for access to all, by signing up for the Knowledge (XXG) Library's free bundle and then using this search option.

Add other red links here, if possible with a source:

• Heidi Pitlor, series editor from The Best American Short Stories 2007 to the present; previous two series editors were notable
