Welcome!

November is the third month of our 2024 focus on women from islands around the world. This month we are working on women from islands beginning with Q to Z. We hope both new contributors and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies about island women, as well as articles on their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. The United Kingdom is excluded due to its size, but women from offshore islands and overseas territories, such as Saint Helena, South Georgia or Tristan da Cunha, could be included this month. Other examples could be women from Réunion or Zanzibar.

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

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.
