Women in Red

edit

Hi there, Sbowen1986, and welcome to Women in Red. As a new contributor, you might like to gain some basic experience in editing through The Wikipedia Adventure. When you feel ready to create your own biographies, you should look at our Ten Simple Rules. We have lots of redlists of women on the basis of occupations, countries and dictionaries. For example, if you are interested in musicians, you should look at our crowd-sourced list of women in music or our Wikidata list which shows women musicians who have an article in other language versions of Wikipedia but not yet in English. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:49, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

edit
  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!
