Hello all,
*Grants*
Wikimedia Foundation the parent of Wikipedia recognises that there are fewer women editing the wikis. Read about it here https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/04/30/how-many-women-edit-wikipedia/. You can also google the issue, there are many news analysis on it.
To fix this, people within the WMF community are embarking on funded projects. Some of our members participated https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/05/01/meet-the-inspire-grantees/ and have been selected to do a project called WikiNeedsGirls https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Wikineedsgirls.
*Tip*
You can also start individual projects https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG. So get involved in the group and the global community, hear what is going on and be proactive in your editing as well, because to embark on wiki based project, you'll have to know how to use these wikis.
*Yvonne Nelson*
Lastly are there any members who have not been able to send out even one edit? No worries. Join http://erpgh.wmgh.org/2014/10/start-apply.html others who we are receiving motivation to edit in the ERP. Or best help out Yvonne Nelson's article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne_Nelson. Change her movie titles in caps into sentence case to tidy the page up.
