Welcome toWikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!
Our objective is to turnred links intoblue 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 toHumaniki, only20.23% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed?Content gender gap is a form ofsystemic 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!

This month, in collaboration with theEvery Book Its Reader campaign on Meta, for the first time Women in Red is focusing onbooks written by women rather than on biographies. We have managed to find a useful set of pertinent red links for guidance but contributors are of course welcome to create articles relating to any books written by women or indeed articles relating more generally to books by women authors, for example their place in different countries or over different periods. Although the emphasis is firmly on books, if you come across women authors who do not yet have biographies, you are of course welcome to create them.

If you wish your articles to be taken into account by the Every Book Its Reader campaign, you can register onthis Meta page.

Those who have not yet created articles about books should make sure notability criteria are met as explained underWikipedia:Notability (books).MOS:NOVEL,WP:NONFICTION andWP:POETRYSTANDARDS offer useful guidance.

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to take part. There are also opportunities for contributors to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under the other topics of the month or under our comprehensive #1day1woman priority.

Themain 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 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 ourTen Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
• If you tweet about any of the articles, or upload any of the images to Pinterest, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

A wide variety of redlink lists can be found on ourRedlist index. Those relating specifically to books written by women are given below:
