Welcome to Women in Green, an attempt to bring core articles on women and women's works up to minimum Wikipedia:Good article (GA) status. We currently have 4944 articles out of 40,517 Good Articles on the site (roughly 12.2%) and 552 articles out of 6,614 Featured Articles (roughly 8.3%).

Never written a Good Article? No worries! Every incremental improvement of articles within the scope of WikiProject Women is welcome. Do whatever you enjoy doing and if you have questions, or seek a mentor to get an article improved/nominated for GA, just ask. We are in it together.

Next upcoming event: "Around the World in 31 Days" Good Article Editathon (running through October 2024)! Learn new GA skills, help write and review articles about women and women's works, and earn a special barnstar.
