Thanks! I've been on a roll creating articles from the Women in Red
list, but have found that some on the list are not actually women (cis
or trans), but non-binary or trans men. That's a separate topic for
discussion, but others are welcome to weigh on it here:

Done. The right-to-left scripts can be a challenge, especially if your
keyboard is not set up for it. Sometimes it is easier to copy/paste.
It helps when these wikis have sets of brackets and double brackets at
the bottom of the page so you can highlight something and format it
easily. Of course that only works if they have MediaWiki markup
enabled as the default, as hewiki seems to, or if you can figure out
how to disable the Visual Editor.

On the English Wikipedia there are some trans redlinks on the
Women in Red list, LBT section:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/LBT_Women
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/LBT_Women>
I just bluelinked one of them with a new article on Angelica Ross
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelica_Ross
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelica_Ross>). I'd add the link
to the DanVeg page, but I can't read Hebrew and am afraid of
screwing up...

I'm noticing that most, if not all of the articles on that page
already have English translations. Is there a list of redlinks
somewhere of articles that would be of importance to the
transgender community that people could work on?
Here is one for the list: there is no article in Hebrew as yet
for transgender rights activist Nisha Ayub, who received the
International Women of Courage Award in 2016.
Many of the individuals who receive this type of award are in
danger or have been imprisoned for their activities. Imagine the
effect of having a Wikipedia page that pictures them standing
next to a high-ranking government official.

Dear friends,
We're sorry to inform you that user:DanVag chose to end her
life last week. User:Danveg was an active editor in HEWK and
contributed mostly in the subject of gender and transgender
issues. She was also an active volunteer in TLV Wikiwomen
group. She guided newbies at Wikiwomen meetups with a lot of
patience and kindness.
As she was part of the transgender community, we urge you to
consider editing articles about transgender issues in her
memory. Please add the articles you edited to this page
