#WomenInRed is a group of editors of all genders living around the world focused on reducing systemic bias in the wiki movement. In October 2014, only 15.53% of English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. Today, for the first time, it’s 19.5% 🥳👏
Fixing the gender gap.

I'm a committee member of Wikimedia AU and came to the community though other ways - I don't edit Wikipedia. So this holiday break I thought I'd add some pages of women that we'd found in our research that are underrepresented. Women who have received an order of Australia, some whose work is referenced on other pages, or have a wikidata entry etc but no biography page themselves... #wikipedia #wikimedia #womenInRed

Today's #wikiviz measures gender diversity in #Wikipedia articles :

Play with it. You'll see. It's really difficult to find articles with a high percentage of women !
