Celebrating Women in Espionage
For Spy Week 2016 on April 13-20, 2016, Women in Red is focusing on women in espionage, in collaboration with and support of University of Edinburgh's "Women in Espionage and Spy Fiction".
Anyone can take part in this event, whatever their previous experience. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the women in espionage who are still red-linked on the English Wikipedia. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work. See the list of red links for guidance.
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
