WikiProject Women artists has launched - Gendergap

27 Nov 2013

Hi everyone,

Inspired by the work WikiProject women scientists has been doing - and
despite helping to found the project and doing many an event about women
scientists, art is my true love, and the only two good articles I have
under my belt are about artists...so...I decided to take some action :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_artists

Help is needed in a few areas:

1) *Bot savvy Wikipedians:* Checking to see if I set up announcements,
assessment (using WP 1.0 bot), and JL-Bot for quality content correctly. No
action has happened yet, and I always am worried I set those things up
wrong.

2) *Help expand the worklist*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_artists/Worklist

3) *Tag appropriate articles* with our template
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_artists#Templates

And once we get a workslist, we can start inviting people to join via the
template I made.

I am hoping to use this as a platform to experiment with women artist
contests, too.

Now, we just need to find some women artist-scientists so we can do some
cross-project collaborations :)
