Wiki Loves Women Home | #19Women in Sport English | #19Women in Sport French | #19Women in Sport Swahili |
From the 1st - 30th June 2019 Wiki Loves Women wants to celebrate all of Africa's sports women across several language Wikipedias (English and French), WikiData and Wikimedia Commons. Through this drive you can upload images, translate existing articles, add WikiData items or create new articles on your favourite female sportswoman. The existing list of sports women being covered on Wikimedia projects is listed below.
Celebrate a sport you love and the people who play it in your country!
Help improve articles on Africa's Sports Women
Below ... you will find a list of all the women who live on the African continent who are recorded on WikiData as a sports woman. The list shows you:
Please note: these are the women who are currently listed. If they are not listed here, they need to be!
There are many ways to be part of this drive. Some are very easy (adding WikiData items, or a description to an image), some are more complicated (translating or adding all team members to Wikidata, or uploading an image), while others might take a bit of time (like writing an article). You decide how involved you want to be. Perhaps a few thing today, and more involved stuff on the weekend ...? Every little edit helps!
1. Make sure you are logged in. If you are not yet registered, you can register here:
2. Add your name in the participants' section below!
3. Review the table. Look at the entries for your country or a sport you are very excited by.
4. Are there any obvious entries missing (for example, Ghanian national football team)? If so, add the WikiData items for any sportswomen who are not mentioned on this list (and should be).
5. Improve or translate existing articles
6 Add more information to each of the WikiData entries listed below
7. Upload images of sportswomen who do not yet have one
8. Link the images of sportswomen to their Wikidata item number
See the query here: https://w.wiki/4Pq (epic thanks to User:Spinster for her invaluable assistance with the query)
This list is automatically generated from data in Wikidata and is periodically updated by Listeriabot.
Edits made within the list area will be removed on the next update!
