{{Big|This requirement we will create a new article on Wikipedia for the Women in Red Project. As a cohort of writers and editors, we will apply the skills we learned in our first project to constructing a well-written and well-sourced encyclopedia article. This Wikipedia contribution will be well-researched, supported, and written—adding an overall significant contribution to the wiki. }} {{More}}

The [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red|Women in Red Project]] attempts to decrease the [[w:Systemic bias|systemic bias]] of the “[[w:Gender bias on Wikipedia|content gender gap]]” on Wikipedia and addresses it in a positive way through [[metawikimedia:Wikimedia Foundation Values|shared values]]. The project focuses on creating content regarding women’s biographies, women’s works, and women’s issues. Women in Red aims to turn “[[w:Wikipedia:Red link|red links]]”—an indication of a missing article—into blue ones. We will help with one article this semester.

We will begin with a draft article that everyone will write and edit for the second part of the semester. By the end of the term, we should have a collaboratively written and edited article that is polished and ready to be transferred to the Wikipedia mainspace.

I am willing to entertain suggestions for a topic focus; i.e., we may choose whatever red link we’d like. The project [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Redlist index|lists many]], but I’d like to suggest we keep it as local as we can by choosing a [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Georgia women|Georgia woman]] to research and write about. You might begin thinking about this at the beginning of the semester. Find a figure of interest and research her both via the web and Galileo. If there is enough secondary material, then she is [[w:Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] enough to have an article on Wikipedia. [https://discourse.grlucas.net/t/woman-in-red-topic-discussion-fall-2020/244 Post your suggestion in our discussion] as soon as possible.

We will choose our subject around midterm.
