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 20.03% 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!

Women in Red invites participants to create or expand articles about Women in Science Fiction and Fantasy, in support of the 82nd World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon), to be held in Glasgow in August 2024.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many notable women, who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. Other articles related to women and writing, such as the works they have created, their organizations and their awards, are also encouraged.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for 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 or images to social media, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

A wide variety of redlink lists can be found on our Redlist index. Some relating to science fiction and fantasy are listed below:
