How did Wikipedia tried to improve the number of women editors?
Wikipedia has made a debate about women. Edit-a-thons recently featured specific topics on women, such as "Female Neuroscientists in Australia" and "Jewish Women." The people who start editing and the active people all start with their own interests. Therefore, by increasing the debate on topics that women are interested in or women, Wikipedia tried to improve women's participation. Wikipedia also launched the "Wikipedia TeaHouse" project to increase the participation rate of women by making the environment more comfortable for new users, and the proposal to create a women's space was not created because of the opposite. As such, Wikipedia has made a great effort to increase the number of female participants.

However, Wikipedia makes it possible to actively discuss rather than accept unconditional acceptance. If you know more information about a particular piece of content on Wikipedia than existing article, you can make it richer by modifying and editing it. I think this is the reason why many people write in Wikipedia. People share the knowledge they know through Wikipedia and gain new knowledge. As a result, the information on Wikipedia becomes richer. People who use Wikipedia seem to be inclined to participate in sharing knowledge and information through Wikipeida, making them feel inclined to participate in sharing more information and knowledge. So, through the satisfaction, I think that people participate in Wikipedia’s knowledge and information sharing activities.
