    Welcome to Wikipedia Wednesdays

    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 19.83% 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!

    Women in Red (WiR) and Care International are celebrating Women's History Month and International Women's Day—8 March— with editathons with extensive support for new contributors creating their first articles about women. Wikimedia UK are helping us organise 4 introductions to creating articles about notable women. These are held of the four Wikipedia Wednesdays in March.

    By means of simply presented exercises in the basic features of Wikipedia editing, we hope to see newcomers embark on their first creative assignments. Those of you who have not yet tried your hand at beginning new articles will be guided on the road to success.
