    In January 2019, Women in Red is focusing on the topic "Play!". It can be interpreted as you like but could well be applied to women who are game artists, those in the games industry, including game designers. Then there are those who play musical instruments, those who write plays, or even those who design or are active in playgrounds or playschools. Then there are all those who have participated in leisure activities, for example municipal orchestras or amateur sports leagues.

    We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women related to "Play!", as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in our initiative. You are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable 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 some of the world's most 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)

    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.
