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 link below.
- Host: WikiProject Women in Religion
- Date: Ongoing
- Time: Usually 4 pm CST
See this video, a panel presentation our members gave at the Online June Sessions of the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion in 2024, for more information about our project and our most recent projects.
Here's our project banner. Please place it on the talk page of any new article or bio you create.

Announcements
editWe are happy to announce the release of the "Call for Submissions" for Volume Four of the Women in Religion biographies series published with the Parliament of the World's Religions. The working title for this volume is Women Challenging Dominant Religious Practices and Expectations through Women-centered Traditions and Spiritualities. If interested, see here or contact Colleen Hartung (User:Dzingle1). The submission deadline has been extended to October 31, 2024. We are looking forward to another successful publication that will allow us to continue our work of raising up the visibility of so many noteworthy women who remain undercovered on Wikipedia.
Women in Religion series
editIn addition to writing, creating, and improving biographies about Women in Religion on Wikipedia, one of the goals of WikiProject Women in Religion is to increase content about them in the general scholarship. Our strategy is to provide secondary sources for Wikipedia editors and contributors to use to increase the content about women in religion on Wikipedia. To that end, we have participated in the publication of, as of three volumes of monographs, two published by ATLA Open Press and the the third by the Parliament of the World's Religions.
Work on the fourth volume is now underway. The deadline for proposing a chapter has been extended to October 31, 2024. If you would like to participate in this endeavor, please visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Religion/Women in Religion series for more information and for lists of the women featured in prior volumes in this series.
History
editThis 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.
In June 2024, seven members of our project presented at the virtual conference of the American Academy of Religion. See here for the presentation at Commons and here at YouTube.
