In November 2018, Women in Red is focusing on deceased politicians. It was felt that emphasis on politicians who are no longer living would provide opportunities for filling gaps in the important part women have played on the political scene over the years, while avoiding difficulties associated with biographies of living people.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women in politics, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe 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 a 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 Commons.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and ourTen Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
• If you tweet about any of the articles, or upload any of the images to Pinterest, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

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