About: additional details
[edit]The articles created for any month, including the current month, can be displayed by clicking on one of the months in the archive box to the right.
We track the articles we create each month. Reports bot updates these lists automatically, but you can manually add and annotate entries. The bot will remove non-existent pages. More details about the bot. Our metrics talkpage is here: Metrics talkpage
The evolving list for this month (see Archives box) is created by the bot which lists new women's biographies on the basis of their female gender on Wikidata. At present, the bot does not list women's works, associations or related articles but you are encouraged to add these to the list manually. A WiR Wikidata page provides information on how you can help ensure WiR metrics are up-to-date.
The graph shows the number of articles created each month. The apparent decrease for the current month reflects the number of articles created up to today's date. Only data on completed months indicate overall progress.
For personal metrics on how many articles you've created about women, see this tool.
If you want to measure gender diversity in a given Wikipedia article, use this tool.

Further background on metrics
[edit]As a result of figures presented by Humaniki, we keep posting on the main Women in Red page the percentage of women's biographies on the English version of Wikipedia. Increases are steady but marginal: for example from July 2022 to July 2023, the percentage has risen from around 19.3% to around 19.6%.
Thanks to an analysis presented by Andrew Gray on the WIR talk page, it certainly looks as if the number of men and women involved in sports has a significant influence on the statistics for women. A detailed account of Gray's work is presented in "Gender and BLPs on Wikipedia, redux", which he published on 2 August 2023.
The two lists below show that biographies of living people (BLPs) born in recent years are approximately 50% female if data on all categories of athletes are excluded. By contrast, the equivalent overall figures (including athletes) are only around 25%. As a result, biographies of very large numbers of male sportspeople seem to be responsible for the huge difference. Andrew Gray's detailed lists below document how figures for BLPs by year of birth have evolved over the years:
Overall development of BLPs since the 1920s for all biographies
- Missing birth year BLPs – 150,574, of which 53,355 female – 35.4%
- 1920s birth BLPs – 5,096, of which 1,325 female – 26.0%
- 1930s birth BLPs – 39,055, of which 7,086 female – 18.1%
- 1940s birth BLPs – 95,602, of which 18,495 female – 19.3%
- 1950s birth BLPs – 128,518, of which 27,172 female – 21.1%
- 1960s birth BLPs – 145,300, of which 33,390 female – 23.0%
- 1970s birth BLPs – 150,539, of which 37,893 female – 25.2%
- 1980s birth BLPs – 171,072, of which 42,880 female – 25.1%
- 1990s birth BLPs – 150,880, of which 36,944 female – 24.5%
- 2000s birth BLPs – 30,042, of which 7,542 female – 25.1%
Development of BLPs since the 1920s for biographies excluding athletes
If we discount all athletes using the infobox method, the results are:
- Missing birth year BLPs – 140,177, of which 51,021 female – 36.4%
- 1920s birth BLPs – 4,321, of which 1,228 female – 28.4%
- 1930s birth BLPs – 28,978, of which 6,161 female – 21.2%
- 1940s birth BLPs – 73,095, of which 16,566 female – 22.7%
- 1950s birth BLPs – 95,893, of which 23,644 female – 24.7%
- 1960s birth BLPs – 96,175, of which 26,632 female – 27.8%
- 1970s birth BLPs – 81,682, of which 27,562 female – 33.7%
- 1980s birth BLPs – 58,078, of which 24,816 female – 42.7%
- 1990s birth BLPs – 23,281, of which 11,754 female – 50.5%
- 2000s birth BLPs – 2,850, of which 1,539 female – 54.0%
