Once again in December and January we are focusing on notable women who died in 2020, whatever their country or occupation. Many of them will have been covered in detail in the obituaries published in newspapers and journals around the world.

Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women who have recently passed away, including their writings or other works.

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of 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
to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter) and via nominations to In The News.

What else?

Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.
This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
If you tweet about any of the articles, upload any of the images to Pinterest, or successfully nominate for In The News, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

Thank you!

Redlists (lists of redlinked articles to be created)[edit]
