    In August 2022 Women in Red is focusing on women performers, with special emphasis on comedians. This stems from our collaboration with Wikimedia UK and the UK branch of CARE International in the hope that we can address areas of common interest over the next few months. The redlinks below show there is considerable scope for covering comedians, an important new target for us. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women in various countries, as well as their achievements, works, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate.

    You are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women, 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 some of the world's most 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/improved articles and images through social media

    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 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.

    Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)

    edit

    We have red-link lists on women from relevant fields and countries, which can be found in the WiR Redlink index. A selection of those which might be most useful for this priority is listed below. However do feel free to find your own but beware of notability (means "significant roles in notable films, TV, stage performances... or unique... contributions to entertainment").

    Good idea to ask an existing Wikipedian (on-line?) to check this before you invest time in creating a new article that may not be published.
