Like last year, in connection with Black History Month, from 1 to 28 February 2018 Women in Red are hosting a virtual editathon on Black women, providing an opportunity for you to create or improve articles on past or present black women, including coverage of their works, writings organizations, and awards.
The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work.
- The lists of redlinks below should provide inspiration.
- This essay on creating women's biographies might be helpful to newer editors.
- 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)
Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)
Add other red links here, if possible with a source:
