    In November 2021 Women in Red is starting a new initiative to coincide with World Diabetes Day on 14 November. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles on the theme of diabetes and endocrine health. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate.

    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?

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

    Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)

    [edit]

    We have red-link lists on women from relevant fields and countries, which can be found in the WiR Redlink index. A selection of those which might be most useful for this priority is listed below:
