Ongoing initiatives:	Music #1day1woman
Upcoming events:	Ideas

Welcome!

This month, we are focussing on women in business. You may be surprised by how many different areas of interest you can address to improve our coverage.

There are, of course, all those women who create or head companies or assist in their management. But then there are many other interesting areas in which women have business interests. In addition to women involved in brokerages, banks and financial institutions, there are those who produce films, television programs or stage shows. There are architects with their own firms, women who run newspapers, publishing houses, art galleries, fashion or cosmetics companies, or hotels and restaurants. Of special importance are all the entrepreneurs, often young women who have earned awards or become recognised as key players in their sectors of interest. Related professions, such as business consultants or officials dealing with business or finance, are also targets, as are authors and academics specialising in business, and organisations of professional women. Have a look at WP:Women in Business to gain an idea of the many fields involved.

We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about notable women.

This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever you may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are, of course, also welcome to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, under our year-long initiative Music, other topics of the month or our comprehensive #1day1woman event.

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 in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new and improved articles and images through social media

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you created this month and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.

• This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.

• If you share any of the articles or images on social media, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

Thank you!
