- Abstract
Since november 2015, monthly meetings are held in different places of the Basque Country. They are called "Wikikedadas" and they are celebrated in order to learn how to edit Wikipedia, to share knowledge among the participants (empowering editors), to network and to have fun. Since the "Wikikedadas" started, 421 new women's biographies have been done by around 163 new editors. 30 of these editors are active Wikipedia members in the different meetings through the Basque Country and they contribute to turn "women in red" into "women in blue", reducing the gender gap. New and imrpoved bios, translations, items creation in Wikidata, photo uploading in Commons and adding Wikiquotes are the main contributions of the WikiEmakumeok groups.
