Welcome!

Throughout 2022, Women in Red is focusing on climate, as a basis for creating biographies and supporting articles on women involved in research, lobbying, politics and related fields aimed at reducing the impact of climate on global warming. In addition to those specifically identified as climatologists, we encourage articles on environmentalists, ecologists, and earth scientists, as well as all those, young or old, who have been lobbying for action. While we welcome additions on all of these during the course of the year, we'll be encouraging special attention to coverage of four different aspects, one for each quarter.

Our initial priority for January to March will be research, targeting all those scientists and academics who have helped to provide an increasingly solid basis for action. During the subsequent months, we will be encouraging work on lobbyists, those involved in politics and decision making, and finally, in the last quarter, we hope to be able to cover women who have been behind some of the evolving success stories, for example in farming, oceanography, digital support or simply increasing interest in the need for change. The lists of red links below should provide some ideas of which women, organizations and supporting activities deserve articles on Wikipedia.

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

Thank you!
