Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/341

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)!
Our objective is to turn red links into blue 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 to Humaniki, only 20.21% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic 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!

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 July letters are M and N, and can be applied to any given name, middle name, or surname of a subject, e.g. Ngaio Marsh, or individuals named like Malala Yousafzai or Florence Nightingale would both be appropriate.

Again this year we have lists of the most 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, Nikita or Noel which are also used for men and 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 initiative Music, other topics of the month or our comprehensive #1day1woman event.

The main 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 our Ten 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 our Redlist index. Any of these lists can be used to find subjects who may have a first, middle or last name, beginning with M or N. Editors can click the column header to rearrange names into alphabetical order.

There are a wide variety of dictionaries and other reference works available, some that editors might consider are: Wikidata generated lists [edit] American National Biography (WD) Australian Dictionary of Biography (WD) Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Women (WD) Dansk Kvindebiografisk Leksikon (WD) Dictionary of Canadian Biography (WD) Dictionary of Welsh Biography (WD) Glimpses into Pacific Lives: Some Outstanding Women (CS) Native American Women (WD) Notable American Women, 1607–1950 (WD) Notable Women of Hawaii (WD) Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (WD) External links [edit] Australian Women's Register (AWR) Austria, poets and writers Austrian Women's Lexicon: A-H Austrian Women's Lexicon: I-O Austrian Women's Lexicon: P-Z Women in the History of Academic Science in Bulgaria Czech Biographical Dictionary Dutch Biography Portal Polish Biographical Dictionary Svenskt biografiskt lexikon Prominent personalities in the USSR Dictionaries with fewer than 20 women to go [edit] Who's Who among the Colored Baptists of the United States (CS) – 4 Dictionary of Ulster Biography (WD) – 3 Dictionary of Irish Biography (WD) – 2 (more not on wikidata!)
