    Welcome!

    For September, October and November 2024 we are giving special attention to women from islands around the world. We hope both new contributors and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies about island women, as well as articles on their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. Australia (& other countries later) will be excluded due to their size, but women from offshore islands, such as Kangaroo Island, Thursday Island, Tasmania, could be included. Other examples could be women from Åland islands, which are part of Finland or women from Guernsey and Jersey in the Channel Islands.

    The main goals of the event are:

    • to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of 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
