Women in Red is hosting a virtual editathon from February 1 to 15, 2016, on Black Women's History. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. We hope both new and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many past and present notable black women who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work.
The main goals of the edit-a-thon 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 on a specific area
- to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
