From January to December 2025, Women in Red is embarking on our third collective "alphabet run", where editors work consecutively through the letters of the English alphabet. The August letters areQ andR, and can be applied to any given name, middle name, or surname of a subject, e.g.Rosita Quintana (both names),Rae Frances (first name),Gladys Ruth Gibson (middle name) orMarian Quartly (last name).

Again this year we have lists of themost frequently redlisted women. Based on database searches, these are listed under the first name in the article title. As the searches take account of women's given names, you will discover quite a number that are inappropriate, for example, Randy and Robin which are also used for men and also names of geographical features. If you write a biography from these lists, please mention "most frequent" when you add it as a New or upgraded article.

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

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you created this month and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.

• This essay on creating women's biographies and ourTen Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.

• If you share any of the articles or images on social media, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

A wide variety of redlink lists can be found on ourRedlist index. Any of these lists can be used to find subjects who may have a first, middle or last name, beginning withQ orR. Editors canclick the column header to rearrange names into alphabetical order.

Key:

• Add FB after the article if you mention it on Facebook

• Add PIN after the article if you pin the image on Pinterest

• Add IG after the article if you post it on Instagram

• Add LI after the article if you post it on LinkedIn

• Add Bsky after the article if you post it on Bluesky
