We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about spooky women from around the world, as well as their writings and other scary outputs. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts wherever they may be to participate in our initiative. Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of prominent women
• to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
• to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
• to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media

What else?

• Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you created this month and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.

• This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.

• If you share any of the articles or images on social media, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.
