    Welcome!

    In view of the widespread interest in covering women in sports coupled with the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Italy during the first quarter, we have decided to adopt Sports as our year-long initiative. Right from the start, there are opportunities for covering figure skating in connection with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Louis. The various lists of redlinks below indicate the extent of women's participation in the world of sport. In addition to the guidelines in our own essays, participants might find it useful to look through Wikipedia:Notability (sports).

    We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women.

    This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under the topics of the month or our comprehensive #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 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 worksth
    • to promote the new and improved articles and images through social media and via nominations to Main Page features "Did You Know?" and "In The News".

    What else?

    • Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create month by 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, or successfully nominate for Main Page, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.
