Welcome to WikiProject Women Scientists, a WikiProject and working group dedicated to ensuring quality and coverage of biographies of female scientists. In line with our larger umbrella group, WikiProject Women, we seek to counter and remedy the systemic bias with women on Wikipedia. Women in science are woefully underrepresented on this project – let's change that!

How you can help

[edit]
See also: Worklist of requested articles and To do list

Low-hanging fruit

[edit]

Here are a few places to start in bridging the representation gap for women in science on Wikipedia:

  1. translate articles about female scientists from and into other language Wikipedias (some suggestions)
  2. support nominations of female scientists to be included in vital article collections
  3. Google Sheets: CRA-W and Anita Borg Institute : Wikipedia Project for Notable Women in Computing; Writing Wikipedia Pages for Notable Women in Computing by Susan H. Rodger (User:Shrodger)
  4. [open suggestions]

New articles that need attention

[edit]

A 2019 article from Slate magazine found that notability guidelines for new articles have played a role in diminishing both the retention of female editors and women-related subjects on Wikipedia – particularly "lesser-known but important women from history." For example, when Canadian physicist Donna Strickland won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics, she did not have a Wikipedia page despite her fellow male nominees all having their own entries. This was because not enough newspaper articles spoke about her long and storied career in the sciences. When you create new articles about female scientists please cross-reference our writing policy and sourcing requirements. If you are struggling with creating or maintaining an article about a female scientist, please add it to the following list (members will be more than happy to help):

  1. Jade Leung (engineer) other places to de-orphan this article?
  2. Lisa M. Overall
  3. Lisa Jones (scientist)
  4. Mindel C. Sheps [1]
  5. Yara Haridy
  6. Alta Schutte
  7. Nelly Mugo

Since biographies are potentially under the purview of almost all WikiProjects, it is important that we work in tandem with these projects. Also, when seeking collaboration on articles, don't neglect to approach WikiProjects that are part of the geographical region your subject is/was in.
