Women in Red

Hi there, LMivak, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already made many significant improvements to International Women's Day, clearly showing your competence in Wikipedia editing. It's good to hear you intend to write about a woman every day. In this connection, you might find it useful to look through our Essays, especially our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:28, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
