Mike Neary, Dean of Teaching and Learning at University of Lincoln, keynote on Student as Producer at NAIRTL Conference

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR), a WikiProject whose objective is to turn "redlinks" into blue ones within the project scope. The project scope includes women's biographies (real women, fictional women), women's works (broadly construed, such as their paintings, books, schools, conferences), and women's issues (such as health, activism, and so on). In November 2014, just over 15% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. Since then, we have brought the figure up to 16.78%, as of 1 January 2017. But that means, according to WHGI, only 240,445 of our 1,432,907 biographies are about women. Not impressed? "Content gender gap" is a form of systemic bias, and WiR addresses it in a positive way.
