From October 1–31,WikiProject Women in Green is hosting its ninth virtual editathon event with the following goals: to nominate and review GA-class articles related to women and women's works, and to help editors build a greater capacity for bringing articles up to GA status. Participants of all experience levels are welcome! We will provide instructions, learning resources, suggested article topics, and assistance from editors more experienced with the GA process. To participate, just add yourself to thelist of participants.

What is Women in Green?

WikiProject Women in Green works to bring core articles on women and women's works up to minimumGood Article (GA) status. Our aim is to improve the general reliability and quality of Wikipedia while also addressing gender bias in Wikipedia content. Currently, articles about women and women's works comprise just5209 articles out of42,835 Good Articles on the site, roughly12.2%. Each year we organize a number ofspecific group goals related to nominating and reviewing GA articles, and this event is partly organized to help us reach and/or surpass those goals.

What Women Do

This time, we are encouraging editors to work on articles about women from as many different occupations as possible. We hope to collectively nominate and/or review articles about women for at least31 different occupations – this may refer to the subject's profession, field or more generally their role in society. Want to improve an article about acomputer? Go for it. A daring conflict journalist? Absolutely. An intrepid explorer? Yes! Broader articles about what women do are welcome as well. There are thousands of interesting articles about women and women's works on Wikipedia, and this event is here to provide a focused, supportive environment for us as we work to bring some of them up to GA status.

Article Suggestions

Editors may be interested in working on some of the following article suggestions, but are welcome to choose articles from elsewhere:

WiG 20-Minute Article Assessments

Are you new to the GA nominating process (or just want some early feedback)? GA nominators have the option to request a basic assessment of their article from an experienced Women in Green editorbefore nominating it for a full GA review. The WiG 20-Minute Article Assessment will aim to identify any major issues that remain in your article and suggest improvements for you to focus on. This support is intended to help less-experienced GA nominators build their confidence and avoid frustrating "quick-fail" situations.Make your request for a 20-minute article assessment here.

1. All qualifying GA nominations (whether submitted or reviewed) must relate to women or women's works.
2. Nominating editors should have made a significant contribution to their article. Co-nominations (with editors partnering) are acceptable and encouraged!
3. GA nominators must submit their article nominations during the period ofOctober 1–31, although they may choose an article and begin preparation work before then.
4. GA reviewers must begin their reviews during the period ofOctober 1–31, but may take additional time to complete those reviews up until November 30. The extended deadline takes into account that many editathon nominations may not be ready for review until late October.
5. GA nominations that arequick-failed will not be counted as a qualifying editathon submission for either a nominator or a reviewer, but articles nominated in good faith that are fully reviewed and failed may stay.

Participants who nominate or fully review at least one qualifying GA nomination during the editathon will receive a special 2025 Women in Green barnstar. An event coordinator will give out stars after the end of the event.

Women in Green Editathon October '25

1. Familiarize yourself with theSix GA criteria. Check out the resources and tools section below. Have questions? Ask them on theeditathon talk page.
2. Choose the article you want to work on. This doesn't have to be an article you created yourself – it can be any existing Wikipedia article currently rated Stub, Start, C, B or A Class. Keep scope in mind: bringing an article up to GA Class takes time, so make sure you have the time and research resources necessary to tackle your chosen subject.
3. Assess which aspects of the article still need improvements to meet the GA criteria. Does it need stronger sources? An expanded lead section? Clearer grammar and punctuation? Are the images properly tagged and licensed? Make a plan and work your way through these improvements. Make sure you examine all sources currently cited in the article (some may be unreliable, outdated, or poorly incorporated).
4. Optional: before nominating the article for GA review, post at the20-Minute Article Assessment page to request a basic 20-minute assessment from an experienced Women in Green GA reviewer. They will scan the article for any remaining major issues and suggest improvements for you to focus on.
5. When you think your article is ready,submit your GA nomination for review. Congrats! Add your nominated article to the "Article Outcomes" list at the bottom of this page. You are also welcome to include your work as part of WikiProject Women in Green's yearly outcomes by listing your article underGoal #1 of WiG's 2025 Goals.
6. Optional: While waiting for a review of your nomination, consider reviewing another nomination yourself. Sign up to areview circle,make a pledge to review other nominations, and/or have a look at ourbacklog list for ideas on what to review.
7. Optional: Once your article has successfully passed a GA review (or if you've created a new article from scratch, or expanded it x 5), you may nominate the article for inclusion in the "Did You Know..." (DYK) column on the Wikipedia main page (please see theDYK Rules andDYK Instructions for how to do this). There is an eligibility period of 7 days to do this. GA Editathon articles that have been featured in DYK can be listed in the "Article Outcomes" list at the bottom of this page.

3. Optional: If you are a first-time reviewer, you may wish toput out a call for a second opinion before closing your review.

Hello WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-longGood Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2025!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2025, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the themeWhat Women Do! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least31 different occupations or professions (or broader roles in society) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
