Editathon banner: {{WIR-251}}

In 2023, Women in Red is focusing on peace and diplomacy as a year-long initiative. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women who are or have been peace activists, diplomats or have otherwise contributed to the cause of peace and constructive international relations, as well as their organizations, writings, awards and other connected works.

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 some of the world's most 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 works
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media

What else?

• The lists of redlinks should provide inspiration.

• There is a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you uploaded to Commons.
• This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules
  might be helpful to newcomers.

Thank you!
