If you have not yet made your contributions, now is the time to act.
We warmly encourage you to:

from your communities
- Improve existing articles or create new ones highlighting women’s

Dear all,
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Women team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/Portal>, I’m excited to
share an important update!
Due to technical issues reported during the campaign period that prevented
some participants from accessing and contributing, we have decided to
extend the ISA Tell Us About Her 2026 – Women in Sports campaign
<https://isa.toolforge.org/campaigns/447> until April 5th, 2026.
You now have 6 more days to add descriptions and take part in the campaign.
There are still 2 prizes to be awarded for the top 2 contributors, so the
race is still wide open. Everything can happen in 6 days… who knows?
Don’t miss this final chance to jump in!
Cheers,
Afek
