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!

Editathon banner:{{WIR|233}}

In June, we are concentrating onwomen musicians and music composed by women. This includes musicians in any genre, e.g. from rock to chamber music and beyond. Women who are notable as soloists (whatever their instrument, including their voice) or for the part they play in bands, orchestras or chamber groups. There are also composers, conductors, choirs, individual singers and educators. And then there are musicologists, music critics and folklorists.

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 musicians, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, 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 notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

Main goals

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating or improving 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
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media and via nominations toMain Page features Did You Know…? and In The News.
