Also, WikiProject Feminism on the English Wikipedia has lots of ongoing
projects, although they are generally asynchronous on-wiki efforts rather
than in-person edit-a-thons. For example:
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Projects/NWHP_…
(only 7 left)
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Projects/AWHT_…
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dictionary_of_National_…
(only Louisa Henrietta de Rivarol is lacking)
*

Most of these aren't actually specific to feminism, but are just efforts to
fill in missing biographies on women (similar to a lot of the Art+Feminism
work). If anyone wants to propose new ideas for women-related topics to
tackle, feel free to post them on the project talk page:

In addition to the Women in Science, WikiProject Women
in Red (WiR) has
hosted 3 other virtual edit-a-thons since its founding in July:
1. APA Women -

2. Women in Leadership -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Women_in_Red/2
3. Women in Architecture and Design -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Women_in_Red/3
Some of WiR's events are sponsored by an organization (Smithsonian,
Guggenheim, Art+Feministm), while others aren't. WiR is an Art+Feminism
collaborator... we're hosting the online/virtual event during the entire
month of March. And we're planning for other events, such as Women in
Religion (December), at our Ideas Cafe:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Women_in_Red/Events
Specifically regarding women in politics, we covered quite a few of them
at the Women in Leadership virtual event, but if there's interest in
addressing this subtopic, WiR would gladly do a virtual edit-a-thon for
Women in Politics (perhaps around the 2016 US elections).
WiR events typically run for 10 days, crossing over two weekends. But the
current event (Scientists) is running for 21 days, and the first one (APA
women) ran for 3 days. But what's become typical of our events is that
editors jump in before and/or after the "official" dates and create new
articles whenever they please.
Metrics? The outcomes, listed on each event's page, give you an idea of
the good stuff we're doing.
Jump in!
