Celebrating Polar Women

Between 1 August and 31 August 2016, Women in Red is focusing on creating new articles and improving existing articles in support of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) conference, which is taking place from 20-30 August, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles regarding women, such as the works they created. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. See the list of red-linked Polar women for guidance.

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
