Women in Religion WikiProject
Hello and welcome!
The Women in Religion WikiProject is an initiative to create, update, and improve Wikimedia content pertaining to the lives of cisgender and transgender women who are notable as scholars, activists and practitioners in the world's religious, spiritual and wisdom traditions. As of January 2024, our project has created or improved more than 300 Wikipedia articles and biographies.
All are invited to contribute and join in our activities; there are many ways to help and no specialized knowledge of content or editing is required. Trainings and edit-a-thons are held regularly for new editors interested in learning to edit Wikipedia or Wikidata. This Meetup page will be used to post details about ongoing activities and events.
The Women in Religion WikiProject organizing committee meets monthly. If you would like to participate in these meetings contact Dzingle1 or click the event link below.

History
This WikiProject was launched as "1000 Women in Religion" at the 2018 Parliament of the World's Religions in Toronto, Canada, with the support of the Women's Task Force at the 2018 Parliament and the Women's Caucus of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature. Its focus was to add one thousand women's biographies to Wikipedia to address the gender gap. Since its founding, the WikiProject has continually expanded, with affiliated Wikimedians working on regional projects in Australia, India, and Kenya. In addition to adding and improving content in Wikipedia, project members have contributed to Wikidata, WikiCommons, and WikiQuote. In 2022, the project's name was changed to Women in Religion to reflect this broader range of activity.
In the summer of 2023, four members of WikiProject Women in Religion (Clifford Anderson, Dzingle1, Figureskatingfan, and RosPost) conducted a study using Artificial intelligence large language models to ascertain their usefulness in editing Wikipedia articles and biographies. The team presented their preliminary findings at Wikimania 2023 in August 2023.
