It is possible to get gender parity on Wikipedia. There are over 300 different language Wikipedias. Welsh has more women than other genders NOW and Basque and others are close. Can you help? #WomensHistoryMonth is a good time to start.

We are able to fix it. en:wiki was 15%.

Drum roll! I'm excited to report that I've just made my 100,000th edit on English #Wikipedia ! It was adding a link to 2003 in Australian literature. Wikimedia Australia wikiwomeninred

🌎🌍🌏 Guess who has written a biography on English @wikipedia for a woman from every country in the world? 👇 It me! 🧵

Prof Folake Onayemi of the University of Ibadan died a few days ago. Due to a joint #WCCWiki effort her article features on the front page of @wikipedia & hopefully more people will learn about her ground-breaking scholarship as a result.

Bad news: 19.74% of en:biographies on #Wikipedia are about women as of Jan 2024. That means that of 1,983,857 biographies, only 391,522 are about women.

Good news: Anyone can fix this .... even blokes

Let's start the Wiki Loves Folklore 2024 edition. The first 3 images uploaded in Wikimedia Commons for Italy are related to Italian cuisine and dance ft Wiki Loves FolkloreIT #WikiLovesFolklore #WLF

We are more likely to remember images than words.

Pictures have power. So what does that mean for the numerous biographies on Wikipedia that do not have images?

It means more articles are left unread, more stories are left untold, and more faces are left unseen. (1/5)

Dalle feste tradizionali ai costumi tipici, dalla #cucina ai #mestieri , il folklore italiano ha storie da raccontare.

📸 Ritorna Wiki Loves Folklore 2024 per valorizzare cultura e tradizioni popolare.
