Karina, you might want to start here, there might be other more recent
pages, the Teahouse is also a good place to get advice and get started.

Hi folks,
I've just been watching this list quietly (and the other one I'm
interested in, Education). I'm a newbie to Wikipedia and this
conversation in general.
But I have an idea - what about a list of "problem pages" (in terms of
gender content) for women to go to and edit. Especially newbies who
don't know where to start playing around with Wikipedia - a list of
pages that could use some female love and attention...
This list could be easily accessed & added to - I could post it on FB,
on my university email list (I'm a recent graduate of the Communications
PhD program at Columbia) etc.
Do you like the idea or do you think it would create a mess?
Best,
Karina

Please see and [EDIT] here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap/Policy_revolution
Meta is where large scale policy change and discussion takes place. I
really hope people will help build this page out.
I have limited time right now that I can completely absorb into this
sadly,
so it's important other people come along. I
also can't risk more burn
out,
or I'll be useless, right? :)
It's also important that women and those who identify as women help out.
I'm reviewing the policies that have been developed recently that Erik
shared and the majority of them were developed, written and lead by men.
While that could be "well and good," it's critical that women have a say
in
this.
Just like [[pregnancy]] it's important that women have their voices
heard -
and maybe some of you don't care about these
concerns, that's important,
too!
Thanks,
Sarah
