In one year, the WikiDonne project has grown significantly and made progress towards its goals of improving gender representation on Wikipedia. Some key accomplishments include increasing the percentage of female biographies from 14.85% to over 16%, organizing over 30 events and editathons on topics like women in sports and fashion, and gaining recognition from the University of Genoa. While much has been achieved, ongoing efforts are needed such as expanding coverage of women to additional Wikipedia languages and categories. The report highlights ongoing and future campaigns and events to continue advancing gender equality on Wikipedia.
