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, only20.13% 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 June, as in previous years, in collaboration withWiki Loves Pride, Women in Red is focusing on LGBTQ+ women (including lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, nonbinary and other queer or GNC people).

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about LGBTQ+ women, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative.

The main 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 this specific area
• to support Wikipedia 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 (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 the Commons.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and ourTen Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.

A wide variety of redlink lists can be found on ourRedlist index. Those relating to LGBTQ women are listed below:
