The mission of the UserGroup les sans pagEs
Les sans pagEs is a project and an association created for users who work on subjects related to gender bias, and more generally to diversity (territorial , cultural, linguistic, generational, gender, attitudinal, disability, etc.) within the French-speaking Wikimedia movement.
Our goals are ː
- Reduce gender bias and the gender gap on Wikipedia articles by meeting, attracting, and training contributors who understand the issues posed by the gender gap and create articles and content with it in mind ;
- Create more gender equity and make the Wikipedia community more inclusive by meeting, attracting, and training contributors and by valuing novices more highly, especially those from less represented groups;
- Making the Wikimedia community more diverse by promoting cooperation between projects and synergies around gender bias, and encouraging participants to find resources and support to facilitate their growth;
- Train facilitators and contributors who wish to create new projects, especially those related to women* to LGBTIQ̟ people and minorities or topics underrepresented and/or suffering from representation bias on the French Wikipedia.
Our project page : w:fr:Projet:Les sans pagEs
The main goal of the user group is to increase diversity and reduce gender bias and the gender gap within Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement in general :
- enriching content about womynx, gender, and underrepresented groups in Wikimedia projects (especially in French);
- Provide space, support, and training for people who want to collaborate on projects;
- Coordinate people to get more women involved in writing on Wikipedia and to improve the quality of entries;
- Create events, meetings, edit-a-thons, conferences, campaigns to raise awareness of women's and gender issues and to grow the Wikimedia movement worldwide;
- collaborate with other groups that have similar goals : WikiWomen, Wikimujeres, Art + Feminism, Whose Knowledge?, WikiDonne, LGBT, Wiki Loves Women, etc.
Our goals for 2021
Increase engagement
We wanted to engage the Wikimedia community even further, to get them involved and thinking about issues related to the gender gap. We also wanted to participate in comparable initiatives, and to promote and facilitate cooperation between sister projects.
This goal was perfectly achieved, continuing the momentum of the previous year. The year 2021 has been very fruitful, with many new articles created, improved and qualified, facilitation or participation in various discussions around language neutrality, micro-harassment, code of conduct, etc. We also joined several programs organized by other groups as participants or supporters.
For the 5 years of the project's existence, a collaborative fanzine was developed over the year, focusing on the history of the project from the point of view of the people who participated.
Recruiting, training and supporting new members
We wanted to recruit womynx or more generally people interested in gender and intersectionality issues, in order to create more diverse communities. We wanted to maintain support for all of our subgroups and train their members or contributors who wanted to start new projects, building on the success of Noircir Wikipédia..
This goal has been achieved. The number of members has increased. We offered training sessions, both online and IRL (notably in Benin, through academic institutions such as Ecostat and the Women Geographers Group, and through the University of Geneva's Gender Studies Master's training program). We continued to support participants directly on the project's discussion page on Wikipedia, on Discord, Twitter and on Telegram or through regular online meetings. A new projet called les sans images aiming at illustrating articles with the help of illustrators, in particular Drawtober, allowed us to add the participation of illustrators to the project.
Expanding our network
Nous voulions continuer à soutenir les groupes LSP existants (principalement situés en Suisse et en France, avec quelques événements isolés dans d'autres pays), mais aussi nous étendre géographiquement en aidant de nouveaux groupes à émerger.
This objective was achieved with the growth of the LSP group in Bénin , which was able to benefit from a milder situation with respect to the pandemic and organize a dozen face-to-face events. New programs with external partners were created: Lesbians during the Holocaust, Women Geographers, Women and Science, Ecostat, and participation in the Archaeology of Transidentity conference at the Sorbonne (with concrete results in terms of contribution and working lists). New projects will see the light of day in 2022 ː in Geneva with Livresse, which will host wikisamedis from February 2022, a global francophone initiative with the organization of a Quinzaine des autrices francophones, les Lorraines sans pagEs from the newly founded group in Limoges. A film project is starting in the framework of the RESET project with the gender studies of the University of Geneva.
Amplifying our key messages
We wanted to promote the activities of sans pagEs to the general public, in the media and on social media, as well as promote sister projects, in order to encourage greater participation in the projects. Les sans pagEs was also the subject of a whole book chapter on collaborative projects within archives.
This goal was achieved, thanks to more than 30 media publications about our project (almost three times as many as in 2020), participation in a few events (allowed despite covid) and a strong presence on social networks.
Building for sustainability
We wanted to build organizational capacity, especially in financial and accounting operations.
The management of the association's accounting is still entrusted to a professional company in Geneva and the partnership agreement with Wikimedia France brings financial stability to our efforts.
The LSP agreement has allowed us to solicit members who are likely to invest themselves in the functioning of the association. We have strengthened the board and the committee so that each position is assigned to at least one person.
The next step is to raise funds to professionalize other parts of the activities that have become too difficult to manage on a volunteer basis. We have also paid particular attention to the remuneration of the work concerning the administrative and reporting part. We believe that this should be retained as a good practice for the whole movement. It will also be necessary to strengthen the committee in order to guarantee the stability of the association over time.
Activities in 2021
Overview
Maintaining the motivation and spirit of participants during the pandemic. We made sure to maintain the relationship between the members during the pandemic, through our regular weekly video meetings but also on the discussion page, animated daily and via the Telegram channel. The channel has about sixty members and on which dozens of messages are posted and read every day in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. The sans pagEs also have a discord channel hosted by Wikimedia France that allows them to engage with francophone Wikipedians present on this channel. Many projects have been carried out, offering short and medium term perspectives, with some physical meetings, notably in Benin and at the Gaité Lyrique at the end of the year. The LSP convention held in August was an opportunity to share and to celebrate the five years of the project during a boat excursion and diner. Mothers and LGBTIQ people have been particularly hit hard during the pandemic. Fortunately Wikimedia France set up a few months of free psychological assistance with a psychologist with expertise in dealing with LGBTIQ̹ people. The WMF president also participated in a conversation around the issue of supporting trans and LGBT people in the movement.
Two regular weekly appointments online
In addition to the Wikimidis initially organized at the University of Geneva since January 2017, a second online meeting on Thursdays is also well established since february 2020 : Maintenance and evaluation sessions. Starting at 7pm, we evaluate the latest articles attached to the project, which includes creating work lists. Other work is done such as wikification, sourcing or more generally article improvement.
These meetings are open to anyone who wishes to contribute. They allow us to welcome them and answer their questions, creating a sense of solidarity and strengthening relationships between contributors.
19% of women biographies
The share of women on French biographies passed19% in November 2021. In one year the articles indexed to the project increased from 8,214 to 10,707, or 2,493 more articles, both new and improved.
Featured Articles
We have developed new skills to improve the quality of articles. Five articles of the project became featured articles: Alix Payen, Session du Conseil d'État, Ángeles Amador, Élisabeth Dmitrieff and Adélaïde Valentin. Five others were labeled good articles: Mary Lou Williams, Convoi des 31000, Lynn Hill, Place des femmes dans l'équitation, and Augusta Holmès. As a reminder, the attribution of these labels is conditioned to a community procedure and vote.

Creation of a community fanzine for our 5th anniversary
Les sans pagEs celebrated their 5th anniversary by creating a community paper fanzine. Made in the format A1 folded in three, it presents on one side a timeline of the project and on the other, actions carried out since its creation, poems a quizz and a bingo proposed by members. The fanzine was finally printed in January 2022.
Les sans images and Drawtober
The sans images is a call for illustrators to complete biographies without photos and to make certain women better known. The project experienced significant growth in 2022 with Drawtober, a challenge set by illustrators: to produce as many portraits as possible during the month of October.
Eight contributors participated in the first edition, illustrating 65 personalities. By completing Wikidata items and wikipedia in other languages, 481 pages were illustrated on 80 different wikis, i.e. 78 different languages (statistics corresponding to available data in November 2021). Other portraits were made outside this event.
The account Twitter des sans pagEs has gained about 715 subscribers, going from 2400 to 3115. On Instagram, the account totals 1,200 followers, with a regular presence in the form of ephemera.
sans pagEs website on Wordpress
The Facebook account has been less used in 2021, the activity being time consuming it was decided to focus on the website of the sans pagEs on Wordpress to highlight our actions. We have proceeded to the recruitment of several people who can blog on the site.
Several articles were published
- sur la witch map et en anglais
- sur les 5 years of the project
Wikiconcoucours (contest)
Two LSP teams took part in the Wikiconcourses. Team 18 received an honorary jury award for their 42 destubbed (and 3 created) articles of high importance. Team 140 worked on destubbing the most popular articles in the project.
Growth of the LSP project in Benin
The LSP Benin project, which has participated annually since 2018 in the Mois international de la contribution francophone, has taken on a new momentum in 2021 with, among other things, the organization of twelve face-to-face workshops, three of which had over 40 participants
Annual les sans pagEs Convention
The general assembly saw the election of a new committee and the whole weekend was punctuated by moments of conviviality such as a feminist bike ride in Geneva and a cruise on the lake to celebrate the 5 years of the project.
Lesbian Holocaust Editathon
On the occasion of Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27, 2021, the Eurocentralasian Lesbian* Community, Queer code, and Les sans pagEs organized a full-day edith-a-thon in English, French, and German, entitled Lesbians during the holocaust, . 58 people participated, coming from several language regions (German, Italian, English, and French), producing 23 articles and improving 99 of them (dashboard)
Wikimedia Hackaton
Again this year we continued the work to address the deletion of over 2000 sexual orientations on wikidata by offering an easy activity via a ticket phabricator during the wikimedia Hackaton. We continued work on this list.
Month of pride 2021
For the second year in a row a editathon with the LGBT project was organized. The wikimidis of June were dedicated to it.
150 years of the Paris Commune contribution month
LSP organized a month of contribution centered around the 150 years anniversary of the Paris Commune to create and increase the quality of articles on this famous insurrection episode of the French history in 1871 centering on the role played by women. 61 articles were created, and 10 were substancially edited. several articles were labellized as quality article (AdQ in French wikipedian jargon)̠: Alix Payen and Élisabeth Dmitrief.
Women Composers Month
A new event organized in collaboration with les sans pagEs,themois des compositrices took place in June. The 13 people participating in the contest created and improved nearly 60 articles. A second edition is planned for 2022.
Women geographers
The Femmes geographes project was launched during the summer with a page designed as a workspace for people who would like to contribute to the presence of women and queer geographers on Wikipedia. The milestone of 100 pages was exceeded with the creation of 68 pages and a communication with the community of geographers was made in September.

Communication, social networks...
Communication, in the media and on social networks, is a major element of the sans pagEs strategy because it allows both to recruit new participants and to raise awareness of equity (or lack of equity) between genres. Important work to relay the activity of the sans pagEs on Twitter and Instagram was done in 2021, thanks to the involvement of two contributors to the project. On Twitter, the bot's publications have been completely revised, with the genesis of automatic posts informing about the terms of participation in the project, and relaying the important pages. On instagram, two contributors have done a whole job of relaying biographies of women from ephemerides, generating very positive interactions. The sans images project has also generated fruitful collaborations on instagram with professional illustrators.
The sans pagEs are very frequently contacted by journalists for interviews and reactions. Thus, the UG and its members are regularly mentioned in the news. All mentions in the media can be consulted here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Les_sans_pagEs/Revue_de_presse

Individual Membership
The number of members can be estimated beyond 250 members but the exact figures are difficult to estimate with precision because:
- membership varies depending on whether we are talking about membership in the user·ice·s group (completely open to anyone interested) or membership in the legal association (restricted);
- members can register on meta (26 people) or can add their name on the list of participants (267 people) on the French-speaking Wikipedia, or join the association.
- individual membership for the online part of the project can also be assessed by the number of contributors who actively choose to publish articles in the section . The statistics of these contributions between July 1, 2019 and June 3, 2020 show 291 contributors, 18 beginners, 32 regular contributors including 11 admins, the others being people who created their account for the most part after 2016. These people constitute the heart of the online project.
The user·ice·s group is open to all genders. Communication with members is mainly and originally done on the project's discussion page but the Telegram channel is also a very active and lively discussion space.

Lessons and next steps
Building on the lessons of 2020, we have continued our online awareness efforts to increase participation in the project and above all maintain social ties between members. Our weekly meetings, the discussion page and the Telegram channel are all tools for monitoring, sharing, project development and support for people suffering from the isolation linked to the pandemic.
The five-year anniversary of the project brought members together around the creation of a fanzine and the annual weekend, which has become a convention for the sans pagEs. We are proud to have been able to do this retrospective work on our activities. The fanzine, printed in January 2022, will be distributed to our partners and members at our events.
On Wikipedia, we have passed the milestone of 10,000 articles indexed to projects (created or improved) but above all we have developed new skills to improve the qualitative progress of articles. Five articles from the project were labeled quality articles and five others were labeled good articles. This work will be continued, a list of priority articles having been established.
Partnerships have multiplied and strengthened this year, with associations and institutions: the Quai des savoirs, EL*C, Queer code, the Ecostat research group, the gender/fr/formation/master/reset/ gender studies of the University of Geneva and the sdiversity department of the UNIGE. The sans pagEs are identified and have gained recognition in the academic, associative and institutional environment on gender-related themes. This is very important to us and it helps to give a good image of the Wikipedia ecosystem.
Several members were able to launch and carry out projects within the framework of the sans pagEs in 2021. We were thus able to see the emergence or take on a new dimension of initiatives such as women geographers, The 150 years of the Commune, the month of composers, the sans images or even the Beninese project.
The convention was an opportunity to renew the office and find a person dedicated to the position of treasurer, the committee is finally made up of only four people and we are looking to expand it in 2022 to guarantee more stability, thus bringing together more members likely to engage in the governance of the association. We are also working on the public availability of accounts as well as on a better method of sharing our administrative documents.
