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 20.02% 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 February 2025, Women in Red is once again focusing on Black women in conjunction with Black History Month. In this connection, we welcome the collaborative efforts of WikiProject Black Lives Matter.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about Black women, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in our initiative. You are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you created 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.

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 on a specific area
• to support Wikipedia 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 (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram)

These are lists of redlinked articles to be created. A wide variety of redlink lists can be found on our Redlist index. Those relating to Black women are listed below:
