Welcome!

In March 2021, we are collaborating again with theArt+Feminism community as an online node supporting a focus onwomen, activism, and the arts. While all articles on women artists and feminism are welcome in our efforts to address the gender gap, this year we are placing special emphasis on women of color, non-binary women and immigrants, including their art and other works.

Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women in the arts and activism, as well as their works, organizations, and other achievements. 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 notable women, for example under our#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 on a specific area
to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
to promote the new or improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

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.
