Women in Red
[edit]Hi there, JJFord BHL, and welcome to Women in Red. It's always a pleasure to see another librarian has joined. I see you are already gaining more editing experience with The Wikipedia Adventure. Once you feel ready to create your own biographies, you should look through our Ten Simple Rules. I wouldn't bother too much at this stage with Wikidata. You'll see that there are always other editors ready to coordinate data on new articles. Remind me in a month or two and I'll give you a few tips. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties. Happy editing and a Happy New Year 2021.--Ipigott (talk) 12:27, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
[edit]|

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
