Hi Karina! Yes, WikiProject Women Scientists keeps a list of women scientists without articles. We also have a box on our main page that shows the quality of articles - they're quite poor so almost anywhere is a good place to start. I'm so glad to see you're interested! Feel free to send me an email or contact me on wiki (User talk:Keilana) if you need guidance. Welcome!

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:

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
