Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/325

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 20.03% 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!

In December, for the first time since 2018, we are focusing on religion. Much has happened over the past six years, in particular with the expansion of WikiProject Women in Religion which now lists over 8,000 articles. We now hope to broaden the topic to cover not only religion in the strictest sense but other beliefs and spiritual traditions from around the world.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women in religion, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards.

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they 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, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

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 on combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media and via nominations to Main Page features Did You Know…? and In The News.
