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!

{{WikiProject Women in Business}}

This month, we are focussing onwomen in business. You may be surprised by how many different areas of interest you can address to improve our coverage.

There are, of course, all those women who create or head companies or assist in their management. But then there are many other interesting areas in which women have business interests. In addition to women involved in brokerages, banks and financial institutions, there are those who produce films, television programs or stage shows. There are architects with their own firms, women who run newspapers, publishing houses, art galleries, fashion or cosmetics companies, or hotels and restaurants. Of special importance are all the entrepreneurs, often young women who have earned awards or become recognised as key players in their sectors of interest. Related professions, such as business consultants or officials dealing with business or finance, are also targets, as are authors and academics specialising in business, and organisations of professional women. Have a look atWP:Women in Business to gain an idea of the many fields involved.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women.

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever you 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, under our year-long initiativeMusic, other topics of the month or our comprehensive#1day1woman event.

Themain 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 in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new and improved articles and images through social media
