Dates July 2016 Location This is a virtual, global event... you can participate from anywhere in the world Hosts Women in Red, Hashtag #wikiwomeninred Facilitators Rosiestep; add your name here; add your name here Celebrating Women in Halls of Fame In July 2016, Women in Red is focusing on Women in Halls of Fame. Anyone can take part in this event, whatever their previous experience. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many past and present women in halls of fame who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. Other articles regarding these women, such as the works they created, and so on, are also welcome. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. See the list of red-linked women in halls of fame for guidance. The main goals of the event are: to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
