Dear Wikimedians,

I hope this email finds you well.

We are writing to update you on our ongoing initiatives to enhance support for female-related projects or ideas or programs within the Wikimedia community. The concept of the Wiki Women Collective https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Women*_Collective group originated at the Wiki Women Camp 2023 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp_2023 and has been an ongoing discussion ever since. Recently, the Wiki Women Collective was officially announced during the Women Summit https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Program/WikiWomen_Summit at Wikimania 2024 in Katowice, Poland.

While we have received some nominations on Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Women_Collective/Nominations, it seems there may be some gaps in understanding regarding the support groups and the Wiki Women Collective. To ensure everyone has a clear understanding, we are extending the deadline for Wiki Women Collective nominations, which was originally set for August 31. This extension will give women Wikimedians more time to consider how they can contribute to and support this initiative.

To further clarify the purpose and goals of the Wiki Women Collective, we are organizing two calls to engage and inform female Wikimedians: South Asia Nomination Call:

Best regards, Nitesh Gill (CIS-A2K)
