#VisibleWikiWomen Challenge - Online edit-a-thon
May 1 to 15, 2018
[#VisibleWikiWomen]

In March 2018, we launched the #VisibleWikiWomen challenge for the first time - aiming to add openly licensed photographs and illustrations of prominent women from around the world onto Wikipedia. After gathering hundreds of photos in the VisibleWikiWomen category on Wikimedia Commons, what's next?

Join the #VisibleWikiWomen Edit-a-thon from 1-15 May 2018!

The Big List

edit

During the VisibleWikiWomen challenge over 1000 new photos was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. This represents a lot of articles to create, translate or improve. We are building a list of women that appear in the category VisibleWikiWomen and their respective items on Wikidata.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE WIKIDATA LIST.

This is a work in progress. You can help by finding or creating the Wikidata item of each woman, and adding it to the list.

Suggested articles

edit

We have chosen the uploaded pictures of some prominent women who are very interesting, and whose biographies still do not exist in any version of Wikipedia.

Once you choose an article, please assign yourself on the Dashboard, to let other participants know that you are working on it. Feel free to create articles in any Wikipedia language. When you finish it, link your article in the last column, so that everyone can read it!
