Project idea

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

Getting more "female" issues and more female authors for Wikipedia.

What is your solution?

Stubs motivate people who know more about the issue. They are motivated to complete missing information and to adjust mistakes. Thus another trick: placing mistakes in the stubs knowingly.

Budget

• Project manager: 750 € for three months (May, June, July, 2015)

Community engagement

Must still be planned. There must be a platform for the authors who write the stubs.

Sustainability

A lot of stubs which continue to allure female authors.

Measures of success

Number of female Wikipedia authors. Number of articles in certain topics.
