Welcome!

This month, for the first time, we are focusing on women in conflict zones around the world. The List of ongoing armed conflicts provides a good overview of the countries and regions in question. There are opportunities for writing general articles on the world situation as well as country-based articles. See Afghanistan conflict (1978–present), Women in Afghanistan, Women in Yemen, Syrian civil war, Women in Syria, and Women in the Mexican Drug War as examples of pertinent coverage. Then of course we should be creating biographies of women who have played a significant role in zones of conflict as well as those who have been subject to aggression or violence. Please feel free to add redlinks to the Redlists section below.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating articles on women in zones of conflict.

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 (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

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, or upload any of the images to Pinterest, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.
Thank you!
