---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Everton Zanella Alvarenga <t...@wikimedia.org> Date: Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 1:14 AM Subject: Women's day and Wikipedia To: Increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects <gender...@lists.wikimedia.org> Hi all, today I just remembered that the International Women's day is arriving <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Day>. I would like to know if people in this group is thinking about something to do on 8 March. I just compared the English article in Wikipedia with the Portuguese version <http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_Internacional_da_Mulher> and it seems there is a lot to be improved in the later, although I am sure a lot in the first as well. I remember the first time I saw how important is this day was through a Russian friend who taught how important is this day for the Russian woman - at least that is my impression when I compare to my society, although I know people here who value this day a lot, like dad who always give something to mom. :) Sorry if I missed some e-mail, but is there something planned? (just saw the e-mail bellow) Maybe an international edithaton about some women on Wikipedia? Or improve the Wikipedia article about this day and try to achieve a better level on the 10 most read languages of Wikipedia? Just some ideas, I hope more can appear.
