Grants:IdeaLab/Female stubs
Project idea edit
What is the problem you're trying to solve? edit
Getting more "female" issues and more female authors for Wikipedia.
What is your solution? edit
Stubs motivate people who know more about the issue. They are motivated to complete missing information and to adjust mistakes. Thus another trick: placing mistakes in the stubs knowingly.
