Souvenirs for active SheSaid participants in Ukraine

The Wiki Loves Women initiative celebrates women leaders with the SheSaid drive. The drive is aimed at improving the visibility of women in creating new or improving already existing Wikiquote entries related to them.

First launched in October 2020, the #SheSaid campaign on Wikiquote has been an amazing success! Across 7 languages, by the 5th January 2021, it resulted overall in 867 new or improved articles (the majority new). Italian Wikiquote was the clear language winner (405 articles) with Ukraine (187) and French (105) coming not so close behind. This is an amazing result - thank you for getting women’s voices heard.

The second edition was yet again a success with 1500+ Wikiquote entries created (and more improved) in 9 languages ! Italian and Tagalog were the most active languages. Congrats to all :)

Given its first and second editions success and noting that there is still a lot to do, the #SheSaid drive will run again end of 2022.

Why the SheSaid campaign

To balance the representation of gender in the entries of Wikiquote.

To illustrate the situation, here are a few interesting figures:

  • On the English Wikiquote main page on 6th of Oct 2020, in the Selected people section... 29 men are featured and only 4 women (check out the screenshot on the right...)
  • There are 233 women who have a featured article on either French or English Wikipedias... with no entry on the French Wikiquote check it out
  • There are 141 women featured article on the English Wikipedia with no wikiquote entry check it
  • There are 519 women listed on the French wikiquote check it and 3117 men listed check it out

Obviously, not all women said good quotes that would make a wikiquote entry worth it. Still...

About Wikiquote

What is Wikiquote ?

This is one of the sister projects of Wikipedia. Wikiquote is a free compendium of quotations that is being written collaboratively by the readers. The site is a Wiki, meaning that anyone, including you, can edit any entry right now by clicking on the edit this page link that appears in every Wikiquote entry. There are 38,093 articles in English that are being worked on with many more entries pending other languages. It is also run by Wikimedia Foundation. You may look at what Wikipedia says about Wikiquote.

If you are not familiar with Wikiquote, we suggest you start with a quick read of Welcome, newcomers page on Wikiquote.

Quotability rules

Not every quote belongs to Wikiquote. Please take the time to read the guidelines of Wikiquote. Those are considered important, or even essential, by the project's founders and participants. They help us to work towards our goal to create a free compendium of quotations--indeed, the largest compendium of quotations in history, in both breadth and depth. We also want Wikiquote to become a reliable resource.

Quotability determines whether a quote appears in Wikiquote. There is no absolute test for the inclusion of either a page or a specific quote. However, there are a number of factors to be weighed in determining whether either deserves a place in this compendium. You may find quotability rules of the English version.

We suggest you read the English guidelines whatever the version you contribute to, for inspiration, as they are the most detailed. But do not forget to check the relevant language quotability rules before contributing (e.g. in German, quotations have to be quoted by secondary source)!

How to link between projects

If you want to simply create a Wikiquote entry, or to improve a Wikiquote entry, that's fine.

Here are other things that you might want to do.

  • If you want to link a Wikiquote page here on meta, please write a link here in the following way [[q:en:Women]] where Women is the name of the article you want to link to and en the language code.
  • If you want to link a Wikiquote page on Wikipedia, there are other cool options. Check out the women article for example. The text to add in the wikipedia article is {{Wikiquote-inline|Women}} and its addition must be done at the bottom of the article. But not all languages do it the same way. Check out in French....
  • Do not forget that if you create a Wikiquote entry, it is also interesting to add it in the relevant Wikidata entry
