Edit-a-thons ... are they worth it? Women in Red (WiR) thinks so and here’s two months' worth of reasons why. Women in Red is a task force of WikiProject Women. Its goal is to correct the gender gap that is currently present in Wikipedia’s coverage of biographies about women. Only about 15% of all English-language biographies are about women, and Women in Red is addressing this by creating new articles from "redlinked lists". Two recent successes are the Women in Architecture edit-a-thon with the Guggenheim Museum, and the Wikiproject Women Wikipedia Design (WikiD), and Women in Science edit-a-thon with the New York Academy of Sciences.
