Hi there, Pr0kchop, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already done a bit of copy-editing but if you want to gain more general experience, you could start by going through The Wikipedia Adventure. Once you feel ready to create biographies, you should look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:44, 23 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!
