{{WIR meetup header}}

This January to coincide with the Dry January movement we are focusing on women activists who were involved in the temperance movement. For further discussion on the theme, please see this discussion. As noted in the discussion, newspapers.com could be a key resource for many of these women. Anti-temperance activists are also in scope (for example, the members of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform (WONPR), in the United States).

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women involved in temperance work, including their writings or other 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 our #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 on combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
  • to promote the new/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 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 tweet about any of the articles, upload any of the images to Pinterest, or successfully nominate for In The News, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.
