I think that big number of articles at en.wiki are contributed by volunteers outside of Western Europe and North America, so it is not apropriate to add Western Europe and North America, I suggest to remove word European. If we talk about Global North and Global South, yes we need more people form the Global South. By my opinion its better to reword this:

*We have about 100,000 people contributing, and in general, they tend to be younger, European, educated males. Our current volunteers are wonderful and we admire them for all that they’ve done to keep this amazing free resource going, but we need more people to join us. More women. More people from the Global South. More older people. We all have something to contribute, and we invite you to share what you know. We all know that the more diverse our editors are the more comprehensive and rich our encyclopedias will be, so we invite you to join us.

Cheers,

Thanks for working on this.  The message generally looks good to me.

This wording is not quite good because "European" excludes the great
number of editors from the United States (#1) and Canada (#3 for enwiki)

How about "younger, educated males from Europe and North America"
