Hi all,
Now, the WikiGap Challenge is live, running until 8 April!
37 participants are already signed up, creating, improving and referencing
articles about women. After one day, about 60 articles have been created in
a dozen languages, and many more improved upon.
Last year, in total 86 editors participated. Can we beat that this year?
Would be great to see many of you join!

Dear all,
A quick save the date:
On *Sunday 8 March*, the International Women's Day, we are launching the WikiGap
Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge> [1] for the
second year in a row.
The aim of the challenge, which will run until 8 April, is to create and
improve articles to strengthen Wikipedia's coverage of women and related
topics in as many languages as possible.
This year, we are teaming up with UN Human Rights Office. A set of
articles <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/List> [2] on
women active in human rights will give bonus points, and the winner of the
challenge will get an opportunity to participate for a couple of days in
some events organised by UN Human Rights on the margins of the June session
of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The challenge is a part of the *WikiGap campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap>*, [3] co-organized by the
Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wikimedia Sverige, Swedish embassies
and Wikimedia affiliates and volunteers across the world.
Sign up <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/Participants>
as a participant already now! We look forward to seeing you in the
competition :-)
Best,
*Eric Luth*
