- Women's stories are regularly left out of history, including on @Wikipedia. @Wikimedia needs your help to change that. Join us for #WikiHerStory: https://medium.com/@anusha.alikhan/wikiherstory-gendergap-e442179f864f #WomensHistoryMonth
- Just 18% of biographies on English @Wikipedia are about women. That's not enough. This #WomensHistoryMonth, join the @Wikimedia movement to write women and their work into history. https://medium.com/@anusha.alikhan/wikiherstory-gendergap-e442179f864f #WikiHerStory
- In recent years, a growing number of people and initiatives have been working to close the gender gap on @Wikipedia.

- I edit @Wikipedia, the world's resource for free knowledge. Right now, fewer women are adding their perspectives and history to the encyclopedia than men. This #WomensHistoryMonth, let’s change the narrative together: https://medium.com/@anusha.alikhan/wikiherstory-gendergap-e442179f864f #WikiHerStory
- Fewer than 18% of biographies on English Wikipedia are about women. I’m a @Wikimedia volunteer, and I aim to change that. Help me make @Wikipedia a more equitable source of knowledge with #WikiHerStory: https://medium.com/@anusha.alikhan/wikiherstory-gendergap-e442179f864f #WomensHistoryMonth
- More men than women have tried to edit @Wikipedia at least once. Do you think Wikipedia should represent the history and perspectives of all genders? Help me close the gender gap: https://medium.com/@anusha.alikhan/wikiherstory-gendergap-e442179f864f #WikiHerStory #WomensHistoryMonth
