Hi everyone, Please help me create lists and categories on the English Wikipedia that may inspire people to write articles on their own native Wikipedia during the challenge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism/Challenge
Such lists and categories can be used as resources for potential contributors to the Gendergap area of Art & Feminism articles at any time, not just for this weekend-a-thon.
Gendergap articles in terms of art are female artist biographies, but also articles about works of art by women, art exhibitions about for or by women, female art collectors, female museum founders, etc.
I have been working to add a few lists to this category which is overwhelmingly male: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_works_of_art
I have also been working on adding a few categories to this category, again overwhelmingly male: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Paintings_by_artist
As a reminder, most articles about female artists on the English Wikipedia are about artists who lived and worked in the US. The story of women in the arts is way more international than that. Help me help others tell this story!
Some stats according to the data from the CLARA database of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, as indexed on Mix-n-Match thanks to Magnus here: http://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/
Total number of Wikidata items matched to Clara entries for women: 2141 Total number of Wikidata items with sitelinks to enwiki 1789 dewiki 782 frwiki 623 eswiki 403 ruwiki 311 itwiki 296 nlwiki 286 svwiki 284 plwiki 230
Happy editing, Jane
