Once a Women’s biography is created or you create content relevant to the Gender Gap: how do you make sure that content actually gets read? 

We have significant evidence that most readers only read the first <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Which_parts_of_an_article_do_readers_read" target="[object Object]">few paragraphs of any given Wikipedia article,</a> that <a href="http://infolab.stanford.edu/~west1/pubs/Paranjape-West-Leskovec-Zia_WSDM-16.pdf" target="[object Object]">most clicks on links come from the first part of a Wikipedia article</a>, and that <a href="https://epjdatascience.springeropen.com/articles/10.1140/epjds/s13688-021-00312-8" target="[object Object]">having images or other illustrations increases depth of engagement by reader.</a> 

By working to improve the quality of representation of leads, links and images that connect with women or girls or links to articles with strong gender perspectives, we can begin to change the reader dynamics around gender gap topics.

A <a href="https://medium.com/@OpenSexism/erasing-her-from-history-a5be2cdbe45c" target="[object Object]">2022 study published by Open Feminism</a>, followed their Wednesday Index that looked at how high-profile Wikipedia pages link to biography articles, and measures the number of women involved in each page. They found that existing editors were not creating links that increased visibility to women’s biographies. This is a good kind of simple, targeted way for new editors to contribute.
