Subject: [Wikimedia-l] #SheSaid


Did you know that quote

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say 
it."

was authored by a woman ?



Do you know how many entries on Wikiquote are about women versus Men ?
14639 men entries... for 2977 women entries...

Suprised ?



I am happy to announce the new #SheSaid campaign. The #SheSaid drive is aimed 
at improving the visibility of women across Wikimedia projects (and beyond) by 
creating new or improving already existing Wikiquote entries spoken by notable 
women.

Here are a few statistics:
·         On the English Wikiquote main page on 6th of Oct 2020, in the 
Selected people section... 29 men are featured and only 4 women (check out the 
screenshot on the right...)
·         There are 233 women who have a featured article on either French or 
English Wikipedias... with no entry on the French Wikiquote check it

Obviously, not all women say good quotes that would make a wikiquote entry 
worth it. Still...



How to get involved?

* Give a bit of love to Wikiquote in the language of your liking. Check 
existing Wikiquote women entries and see if they might be improved. Or create 
new entries for notable women who produced notable quotes. Or add notable 
quotes from women in various entries.
* When you improve them, please add #SheSaid in the comment box so that we can 
see how much impact we make !
* Relay the SheSaid drive to your friends and community ! We have created cool 
postcards (you may suggest or create more !)

#SheSaid runs until the 20h of December 2020. We hope you will take part! Find 
out more and join the campaign
