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.

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.
