Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/237
{{WIR meetup header}}
Every August, we give special attention to Indigenous women from around the world. We hope both new contributors and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies about Indigenous women, as well as articles on their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. You can of course also write articles on any other notable women, 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 a specific area
- to support Wikipedia 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 on social media (thank you!), please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

=Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)=
We have a wide variety of red-link lists. In addition to those on women from pertinent countries, the following should be particularly useful in identifying indigenous women who deserve to be covered:
| style="border: 3px solid {{{border|red}}}; background-color: {{{color |
|rowspan="1" |
|style="font-size: ; padding: 0; vertical-align: middle; height: 1.1em;" |
|style="width:100%; background:; color:Black; padding:0.5em; font-size:100%; font-weight:115;" |
- Indigenous women (CS)
- Yupik's upgraded redlist of indigenous women
- Pakoire's redlist of people (and more!) in the performing arts in Aotearoa
- Redlists of people in indigenous film and media, mainly in Canada
- Native American Women : a biographical dictionary (WD) (you can find this book on the Internet Archive)
- List of Greenlandic artists
- A list of Native American women to work on from the NMAI Native American Women editathon.

Add other red links here, if possible with a source:
- Native Women's Association of Canada is poorly sourced and could use some editing. Might be a source for sister organizations and names of indigenous women leaders.
