Wikiconference North America is hosting an edit-a-thon, in conjunction with Women in Red, focused on Canadian women to provide an opportunity for you to create or improve articles on Canadian women and/or their works.

• The below worklists below should provide inspiration.
• This essay on creating women's biographies might be helpful to newer editors.
• The main goals of the event are:

• to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most 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 (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)
• to have fun and meet new people, including conference attendees and BAnQ-Vieux staff
