Also, WikiProject Feminism on the English Wikipedia has lots of ongoing projects, although they are generally asynchronous on-wiki efforts rather than in-person edit-a-thons. For example: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Projects/NWHP_biographies (only 7 left) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Projects/AWHT_biographies * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dictionary_of_National_Biography/Missing_women (only Louisa Henrietta de Rivarol is lacking) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Open_tasks
Most of these aren't actually specific to feminism, but are just efforts to fill in missing biographies on women (similar to a lot of the Art+Feminism work). If anyone wants to propose new ideas for women-related topics to tackle, feel free to post them on the project talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Feminism On Sat, Nov 7, 2015 at 10:50 AM, Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight < [email protected]> wrote: > In addition to the Women in Science, WikiProject Women in Red (WiR) has > hosted 3 other virtual edit-a-thons since its founding in July: > > 1.
