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! |

January 2025 sees Women in Red introduce a new event, seeking biographies of women who are known for their Internet personalities. There are thousands of women working in social media roles of celebrity and influencer. Their content creation output is seen on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Their occupations include blogger, podcaster and online streamer.
As with all biographies, care should be taken to ensure that articles are based on acceptable independent sources. Notability cannot be established on the basis of blogs, social media or sites closely related to the subject of a biography. For further guidance, see our Ten Simple Rules.
We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women Internet personalities, as well as their achievements, writings, organisations, and awards.
This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.
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 concerted action on combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
Redlist (list of redlinked articles to be created)
We have a single list of redlinked women for this event. It includes social media personalities, content creators and influencers. Your challenge will be to find reliable sources to support their work.
