Subject: [Wikimedia-l] #SheSaid
Did you know that quote
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say
it."
was authored by a woman ?
Do you know how many entries on Wikiquote are about women versus Men ?
14639 men entries... for 2977 women entries...
Suprised ?
I am happy to announce the new #SheSaid campaign. The #SheSaid drive is aimed at improving
the visibility of women across Wikimedia projects (and beyond) by creating new or
improving already existing Wikiquote entries spoken by notable women.
Here are a few statistics:
1. On the English Wikiquote main page on 6th of Oct 2020, in the Selected people
section... 29 men are featured and only 4 women (check out the screenshot on the
right...)
2. There are 233 women who have a featured article on either French or English
Wikipedias... with no entry on the French Wikiquote check it
out<https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20DISTINCT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLab…
3. There are 141 women featured article on the English Wikipedia with no wikiquote
entry check
it<https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20DISTINCT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabe…
4. There are 519 women listed on the French wikiquote check
it<https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20DISTINCT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabe…
and 3117 men listed check it
out<https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20DISTINCT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLab…
Obviously, not all women say good quotes that would make a wikiquote entry worth it.
Still...
How to get involved?
* Give a bit of love to Wikiquote in the language of your liking. Check existing Wikiquote
women entries and see if they might be improved. Or create new entries for notable women
who produced notable quotes. Or add notable quotes from women in various entries.
* When you improve them, please add #SheSaid in the comment box so that we can see how
much impact we make !
* Relay the SheSaid drive to your friends and community ! We have created cool postcards
(you may suggest or create more !)
#SheSaid runs until the 20h of December 2020. We hope you will take part! Find out more
and join the campaign
