Hello!
First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)
Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej ( talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your participation in the
Asian Pacific American Women World Virtual Edit-a-thon, 4-6 September 2015, sponsored by the

On 14 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sue Bailey Thurman, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1958 Sue Bailey Thurman used a cookbook to publish a "palatable history" of professional black women? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sue Bailey Thurman. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hello, Ipigott. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Neuroelectrics, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

Can you add created biographies to round 3 of Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:23, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
@ Dr. Blofeld: Maybe we could just include a link to the Outcomes at Wikipedia:Meetup/Women in Red/2. Although up to now I've written quite a number of biographies on women from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Spain and France, I have not in fact translated any of the articles from other wikis (in many cases there were none) but created them directly from the sources I found. Probably quite a few of those listed in the Outcomes have been translated from the other wikis but it would be quite a time-consuming task to through the whole list. (I've looked at quite a few of them, including some of those already in Round 3, but could find no evidence of translation.) For the time being, I would like to spend my time on creating new articles. Maybe after the editathon we could revisit if you think it's important?-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:46, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
There's articles I've started not on the list at Women in Red.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:49, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
Cheers. I hadn't realised a list was being drawn up on the women page. I did look in early days and didn't see anything! Yes, it would be better to include a link at intertranswiki as 74 articles would be a lot to add to it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:11, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
The article Kerstin Günther has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kerstin Günther is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Can you source and add a bit to Budapester Zeitung, I'm on the case with Gunther.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:59, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
I moved Bourse de Commerce (Paris) back to Bourse de commerce (Paris). The French WP has it as fr:Bourse de commerce de Paris, and so does Mérimée, CCI Paris - Île-de-France, who run the place, etc. If the name is given in French, I think it should have French capitalization. There may be an argument for naming it the Commodities Exchange (Paris), but I think even English sources tend to use the French form for the building, sort of like the Arch of Triumph.

Since my interested was piqued by the resent deletion discussion, I have reviewed the Category:German women in business. There are five biographies that I have concerns with regarding their notability; this time however I've decided to ask for your 2nd opinion before PROD/AFDing them. Hopefully you'll be able to rescue them by improving their content before I or someone else takes them deletion (I am fully supportive of improving our coverage of women, but notability is not gender dependent...). What are your thoughts on the following: Sylvia Ströher, Anni Schaad, Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler, Madeleine Schickedanz and Sybill Storz? Can you see any in-depth, independent and reliable sources to warrant keeping any of them? Cheers, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Most articles are notable and just need expansion. Given the measly state of most Polish articles Piotrus, you of all people should sympathize with that. Shall I start going through the Polish articles, tagging the poor entries for notability? How about Bolesław the Forgotten? A semi legendary figure with one source, if it's that. Mostly all original research. Shall I tag? I thought you were better than this.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, [2] is the correct attribution. The study is currently in peer review; has been in it for half a year; sigh. The speed of peer review is... lacking.

You are welcome to advertise the study to any wikiprojects and other fora or colleges you'd like. Any feedback is appreciated, through I'd suggest that it has the best chance of being noticed (as in - not forgotten, and incorporated into any future draft) if posted on the meta's page talk (which I'll review if a new draft is asked for by the reviewers). Finally, Max made several blogs on this topic, see [3], and I think he had a Wikimania talk on this recently. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:48, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitation, but I must confess that I'm not much on architecture generally. I did consider writing an article or two, but honestly don't feel that I understand the subject well enough to write a decent one. Not to worry, though - there will be other edit-a-thons and I shall hopefully have a chance to participate in those.
I'm not really a Ser Amantio - I'm a lyric tenor, and even on a good day I wouldn't want to tackle Rinuccio. (I could probably do him justice, with some training, but would at best be relegated to a career of Handel and Mozart, with maybe the odd Rossini thrown in.) But the character name has always appealed to me, and so I decided to take the plunge and change my username when I had the chance. I used to be AlbertHerring, way back when...but that was long years ago. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 16:59, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

There's no chance of starting the editathon a few days earlier is there? It's just I have books coming later in the month so might be busy with that.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:27, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
When did you move the date forward, was it your idea? I think it's a good idea but I don't know why we don't just make a given month "Women's Science", Women's Sport" month etc and have an editathon within it but people can still continue throughout the month on the theme. Perhaps that would take the edge out of it I don't know, I'll try to contribute a few articles but it will be earlier in the month as I have a load of books coming later on.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:53, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Ian: I noticed your comment on Katherine Cutler Ficken's page about use of her first name. On the question of using birth vs married surnames for women, Wikipedia's policies and usages don't seem especially clear or consistent. I have gone back and forth on this, but lately have been leaning towards using the birth surname during that part of the career when she would have been known and listed in historical documents under this name. I tend not to use first names at all except to avoid potential confusion, and in Ficken's case chose to do so only to avoid confusion with her father, with whom she worked for many years and who is referenced several times in the first part of the article. I chose Katherine in the earlier grafs as she was not actually Ficken at this point in her life, and it feels like I am erasing part of her history to reference her by her later name. If you know of any Wikipedia resources that are useful on this question, please point me to them. Alafarge ( talk) 16:24, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

I know you are busy and apologize for asking, but can you check this? I think I am good, but am not really confident about it. I originally interpreted that she had founded the only indigenous order in Croatia, but then I have another source that seems to indicate in Rijeka, so I limited it to that Archdiocese. I am also not sure about the links. The only Sisters of the Sacred heart on here seems to be tied to France and a Franciscan order. Hers says it was modeled after a Capuchin Italian friar.

Thank you for your interest.
The origin of the statistics of women participation is quite odd. I'm a member of Wikimedia España, in fact I'm the Secretary this year. We asked for a grant and we started collecting data about what we had done. One of our main lines of action is diversity, not only gender gap but also language diversity (eight languages with a Wikipedia are native to Spain) and projects diversity (expanding from Wikipedia and Commons to Wikidata, Wikisource etc). We have a member of the Board devoted to that. So we have diversity oriented activities.
In addition we have a lot of GLAM activities. And during the discussion about the grant the question of gender gap in GLAM activities popped up because our target of female participants was low (20%). I asked the GLAM team member about the real percentage of women in GLAM activities: it was 80%. In fact some editorial activities in museums are done 100% by women. Our initial goal of 20% was the perception that institutions had about their own gender gap, so to say.
We try to contact university people and Universitat Politècnica de València is one of the universities we contact more often. The Escuela Superior de Arquitectura is one of the colleges in UPV. We are very interested in both architecture and in gender gap activities. Our member of the Board in charge of diversity
19Tarrestnom65 is very interested in your writing to her about this matters. She speaks perfect Spanish and Catalan, but very little English.

On 27 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jean Sibelius, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that by composing music such as Finlandia, Jean Sibelius boosted Finnish patriotism in the face of Russian oppression?

Did you know that Handel has an infobox for more than a year, and no fancruft or other problems arrived? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 00:11, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Ipigott. Hope the holiday is treating you well. I am at work on my En saga expansion but am having trouble uncovering sources for the premiere in June 2003 of the En saga septet arrangement. You seem like a talented sleuth, and so I was hopeful you might be able to find an original source we could cite. Here's some information:
In June 2003, Gregory Barrett (on clarinet)—joined by six musicians from the Lahti Symphony Orchestra—premiered the En saga septet at the Musikverein in Vienna to considerable fanfare: The Austrian-Finnish Friendship Society sponsored the world premiere (a nod to the fact that Sibelius' earliest sketches on En saga date to his Vienna years), while the Finnish Embassy gave a gala reception after the concert.
Thanks! Also, I don't know if you know, but The Oceanides is a FAN. Any comments you might have, I would appreciate. :) Sgvrfjs ( talk) 05:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Just realized I forgot (!) to respond to this message; so sorry for my rudeness! Thanks a ton, Ipigott, for your research assistance on this topic. A couple of these sources I had not yet had. En saga is certainly coming along and may turn out, in my opinion, to be even better than The Oceanides (certainly, there is more to write about with respect to En saga, especially programmatic interpretations by others). Happy editing! :) Sgvrfjs ( talk) 17:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

If you can find any more sources on her, that would be great. I find lots of publicity, but few articles from here. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 16:00, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
Please don't keep adding excess, barely related images to it. They do nothing to help the reader. A single image showing the region where she was born is dubious enough, but you'd not add a photograph of London or map of northern England for John Lennon's early life, so I don't see why she should be any different. You state southwestern Mauritania, and people can click the region or cities should they wish. Looks better without the images IMO. I'd remove the regional locator map too myself, but just one image I guess is OK. I'll try to review this tonight.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:16, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

A friendly FYI... Starting at around 8:30pm my time, I've scheduled tweets for these articles, spaced out half hour apart. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 04:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Whoops. I gave you an incomplete list. In addition to the above, WiR tweeted these 2 last night. I've linked the Serbian one as an FYI. I included an image in each tweet -a photo or a painting- except for Iceland as I couldn't locate an image (photo, painting, sculpture). There are currently 110 followers to our Twitter account so potentially, 110 people are viewing/reading the tweets. Obviously, a much smaller number appear to be clicking the link to the actual articles. I'm going to add @ Megalibrarygirl and Penny Richards to the convo here as they might be able to address if the tweets cross-posted to Pinterest and/or FB. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 15:59, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

I am not sure how you picked me out to pass this barnstar on to but I'd like you to know that it is very much appreciated. As a personal favor to you I will not going to go into why that is the case, but it is. I am attempting to do some women writers this month but so far it has not been working out.

Hi Ipigott! I'm trying to improve an article on Klara Buda who is French/Albanian. She's at AfD. I really think she was important as a journalist during the Kosovo/Bosnian war, but I can't access any news from that time or even begin to search since she primarily works in French, though sometimes in Albanian.

Here's all the ones I did as part of Women in Red editathons that were featured:
Here's the others (I know of) nominated and featured during the Women in Red runs. There's a number of other possibilities in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/7#Possible FPs from new articles that are probably worth going through and nominating:
And here's the others I've had featured this year that fit in the ethos. The work was partially inspired by Women in Red (and wanting to combat systemic bias at featured pictures) so I think they fit:

Hello Ipigott,
I was reading over the Women in Entertainment page, and I was wondering something. Would it be okay to create a few articles earlier than June 1? Can you put an early outcome section or something? I have done a few artist and a photographer article, and I would like to move on to a different topic of red links. Women in Entertainment looks like it will be great fun! If early is not allowed, please let me know, and I will understand. Thank you. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 05:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Greeting editor -- because of your abundant activity (Women in Photography etc) I would like to bring to your attention that I have just created a page for a woman in the field of art history. The page is for Julia Friedman, a Russian born Los Angeles art historian. Needless to say, this page Julia Friedman could use your assistance! I hope you can read the wonderful review that inspired my efforts in The Times Literary Supplement published May 27. I would appreciate any contribution you could make or offer. Despite this mid-career woman's notable talent and scholarship, the past few hours since its launch have been very difficult. -- Wwwwhatupprrr Wwwwhatupprrr ( talk) 18:55, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello!
First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)
Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej ( talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Can you add created biographies to round 3 of Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:23, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
@ Dr. Blofeld: Maybe we could just include a link to the Outcomes at Wikipedia:Meetup/Women in Red/2. Although up to now I've written quite a number of biographies on women from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Spain and France, I have not in fact translated any of the articles from other wikis (in many cases there were none) but created them directly from the sources I found. Probably quite a few of those listed in the Outcomes have been translated from the other wikis but it would be quite a time-consuming task to through the whole list. (I've looked at quite a few of them, including some of those already in Round 3, but could find no evidence of translation.) For the time being, I would like to spend my time on creating new articles. Maybe after the editathon we could revisit if you think it's important?-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:46, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
There's articles I've started not on the list at Women in Red.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:49, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
Cheers. I hadn't realised a list was being drawn up on the women page. I did look in early days and didn't see anything! Yes, it would be better to include a link at intertranswiki as 74 articles would be a lot to add to it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:11, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
The article Kerstin Günther has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

I moved Bourse de Commerce (Paris) back to Bourse de commerce (Paris). The French WP has it as fr:Bourse de commerce de Paris, and so does Mérimée, CCI Paris - Île-de-France, who run the place, etc. If the name is given in French, I think it should have French capitalization. There may be an argument for naming it the Commodities Exchange (Paris), but I think even English sources tend to use the French form for the building, sort of like the Arch of Triumph.

Since my interested was piqued by the resent deletion discussion, I have reviewed the Category:German women in business. There are five biographies that I have concerns with regarding their notability; this time however I've decided to ask for your 2nd opinion before PROD/AFDing them. Hopefully you'll be able to rescue them by improving their content before I or someone else takes them deletion (I am fully supportive of improving our coverage of women, but notability is not gender dependent...). What are your thoughts on the following: Sylvia Ströher, Anni Schaad, Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler, Madeleine Schickedanz and Sybill Storz? Can you see any in-depth, independent and reliable sources to warrant keeping any of them? Cheers, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Most articles are notable and just need expansion. Given the measly state of most Polish articles Piotrus, you of all people should sympathize with that. Shall I start going through the Polish articles, tagging the poor entries for notability? How about Bolesław the Forgotten? A semi legendary figure with one source, if it's that. Mostly all original research. Shall I tag? I thought you were better than this.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, [2] is the correct attribution. The study is currently in peer review; has been in it for half a year; sigh. The speed of peer review is... lacking.

You are welcome to advertise the study to any wikiprojects and other fora or colleges you'd like. Any feedback is appreciated, through I'd suggest that it has the best chance of being noticed (as in - not forgotten, and incorporated into any future draft) if posted on the meta's page talk (which I'll review if a new draft is asked for by the reviewers). Finally, Max made several blogs on this topic, see [3], and I think he had a Wikimania talk on this recently. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:48, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitation, but I must confess that I'm not much on architecture generally. I did consider writing an article or two, but honestly don't feel that I understand the subject well enough to write a decent one. Not to worry, though - there will be other edit-a-thons and I shall hopefully have a chance to participate in those.
I'm not really a Ser Amantio - I'm a lyric tenor, and even on a good day I wouldn't want to tackle Rinuccio. (I could probably do him justice, with some training, but would at best be relegated to a career of Handel and Mozart, with maybe the odd Rossini thrown in.) But the character name has always appealed to me, and so I decided to take the plunge and change my username when I had the chance.

When did you move the date forward, was it your idea? I think it's a good idea but I don't know why we don't just make a given month "Women's Science", Women's Sport" month etc and have an editathon within it but people can still continue throughout the month on the theme. Perhaps that would take the edge out of it I don't know, I'll try to contribute a few articles but it will be earlier in the month as I have a load of books coming later on.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:53, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Ian: I noticed your comment on Katherine Cutler Ficken's page about use of her first name. On the question of using birth vs married surnames for women, Wikipedia's policies and usages don't seem especially clear or consistent. I have gone back and forth on this, but lately have been leaning towards using the birth surname during that part of the career when she would have been known and listed in historical documents under this name. I tend not to use first names at all except to avoid potential confusion, and in Ficken's case chose to do so only to avoid confusion with her father, with whom she worked for many years and who is referenced several times in the first part of the article. I chose Katherine in the earlier grafs as she was not actually Ficken at this point in her life, and it feels like I am erasing part of her history to reference her by her later name. If you know of any Wikipedia resources that are useful on this question, please point me to them. Alafarge ( talk) 16:24, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

I know you are busy and apologize for asking, but can you check this? I think I am good, but am not really confident about it. I originally interpreted that she had founded the only indigenous order in Croatia, but then I have another source that seems to indicate in Rijeka, so I limited it to that Archdiocese. I am also not sure about the links. The only Sisters of the Sacred heart on here seems to be tied to France and a Franciscan order. Hers says it was modeled after a Capuchin Italian friar.

If any part of what you write can be directly quoted, please be specific. If you agree to do this, would you please email it to her?

In your spare time, when you have nothing else to do, can you check this one? The Dutch site is totally mum on her war record, but I found two newspaper articles and a book (though you cannot access the book pages about her). [4] I picked out the few bits from the book in Dutch I found, but as usual, I don't speak any of the languages I translate. Thank you. SusunW ( talk) 02:46, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I saw my name in your comment on Dr. Blofeld's page. Yes, I'm very involved at DYK, and I'd be happy to nominate anything you think is appropriate. (I also have a lot of back reviews on file to use as QPQs.) Yoninah ( talk) 17:17, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your interest.
The origin of the statistics of women participation is quite odd. I'm a member of Wikimedia España, in fact I'm the Secretary this year. We asked for a grant and we started collecting data about what we had done. One of our main lines of action is diversity, not only gender gap but also language diversity (eight languages with a Wikipedia are native to Spain) and projects diversity (expanding from Wikipedia and Commons to Wikidata, Wikisource etc). We have a member of the Board devoted to that. So we have diversity oriented activities.
In addition we have a lot of GLAM activities. And during the discussion about the grant the question of gender gap in GLAM activities popped up because our target of female participants was low (20%). I asked the GLAM team member about the real percentage of women in GLAM activities: it was 80%. In fact some editorial activities in museums are done 100% by women. Our initial goal of 20% was the perception that institutions had about their own gender gap, so to say.
We try to contact university people and Universitat Politècnica de València is one of the universities we contact more often. The Escuela Superior de Arquitectura is one of the colleges in UPV. We are very interested in both architecture and in gender gap activities. Our member of the Board in charge of diversity
19Tarrestnom65 is very interested in your writing to her about this matters. She speaks perfect Spanish and Catalan, but very little English.

Did you know that Handel has an infobox for more than a year, and no fancruft or other problems arrived? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 00:11, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Ipigott. Hope the holiday is treating you well. I am at work on my En saga expansion but am having trouble uncovering sources for the premiere in June 2003 of the En saga septet arrangement. You seem like a talented sleuth, and so I was hopeful you might be able to find an original source we could cite. Here's some information:
In June 2003, Gregory Barrett (on clarinet)—joined by six musicians from the Lahti Symphony Orchestra—premiered the En saga septet at the Musikverein in Vienna to considerable fanfare: The Austrian-Finnish Friendship Society sponsored the world premiere (a nod to the fact that Sibelius' earliest sketches on En saga date to his Vienna years), while the Finnish Embassy gave a gala reception after the concert.
Thanks! Also, I don't know if you know, but The Oceanides is a FAN. Any comments you might have, I would appreciate. :) Sgvrfjs ( talk) 05:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Just realized I forgot (!) to respond to this message; so sorry for my rudeness! Thanks a ton, Ipigott, for your research assistance on this topic. A couple of these sources I had not yet had. En saga is certainly coming along and may turn out, in my opinion, to be even better than The Oceanides (certainly, there is more to write about with respect to En saga, especially programmatic interpretations by others). Happy editing! :) Sgvrfjs ( talk) 17:22, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

If you can find any more sources on her, that would be great. I find lots of publicity, but few articles from here. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 16:00, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
Please don't keep adding excess, barely related images to it. They do nothing to help the reader. A single image showing the region where she was born is dubious enough, but you'd not add a photograph of London or map of northern England for John Lennon's early life, so I don't see why she should be any different. You state southwestern Mauritania, and people can click the region or cities should they wish. Looks better without the images IMO. I'd remove the regional locator map too myself, but just one image I guess is OK. I'll try to review this tonight.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:16, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

A friendly FYI... Starting at around 8:30pm my time, I've scheduled tweets for these articles, spaced out half hour apart. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 04:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Whoops. I gave you an incomplete list. In addition to the above, WiR tweeted these 2 last night. I've linked the Serbian one as an FYI. I included an image in each tweet -a photo or a painting- except for Iceland as I couldn't locate an image (photo, painting, sculpture). There are currently 110 followers to our Twitter account so potentially, 110 people are viewing/reading the tweets. Obviously, a much smaller number appear to be clicking the link to the actual articles.

I am not sure how you picked me out to pass this barnstar on to but I'd like you to know that it is very much appreciated. As a personal favor to you I will not going to go into why that is the case, but it is. I am attempting to do some women writers this month but so far it has not been working out.

Hi Ipigott! I'm trying to improve an article on Klara Buda who is French/Albanian. She's at AfD. I really think she was important as a journalist during the Kosovo/Bosnian war, but I can't access any news from that time or even begin to search since she primarily works in French, though sometimes in Albanian. If you have time, I'd appreciate it if you could look at her. :) Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 00:31, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm curious why Jennifer Westwood has been added to the WiR meetup? It wasn't created via an editathon or any meetup. SagaciousPhil - Chat 05:45, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Heh. Always nice to have an excuse to do what you wanted to anyway, aye? Did a few Frances Benjamin Johnston photos already; going to use this chance to do more. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 03:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Here's all the ones I did as part of Women in Red editathons that were featured:
Here's the others (I know of) nominated and featured during the Women in Red runs. There's a number of other possibilities in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/7#Possible FPs from new articles that are probably worth going through and nominating:
And here's the others I've had featured this year that fit in the ethos. The work was partially inspired by Women in Red (and wanting to combat systemic bias at featured pictures) so I think they fit:
These will probably be featured before too long:
Looking to the future, LGBTQ women are partially covered: Frances Benjamin Johnston and Mattie Edwards Hewitt are largely believed to have had a relationship - they at least shared a bed - and Barbara Jordan is explicitly lesbian. I have a list of photos of women scientists I need to dust off soon. It's here - I have done more than are marked on there, but still have a lot to do. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 11:12, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Here's the pages to watch for the next potential WIR FPs:
There will probably be more soon. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 21:18, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed that you contributed significantly to the article Janette Kim and wanted to let you know there is an AfD debate going on about it. Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 16:39, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello Ipigott,
I was reading over the Women in Entertainment page, and I was wondering something. Would it be okay to create a few articles earlier than June 1? Can you put an early outcome section or something? I have done a few artist and a photographer article, and I would like to move on to a different topic of red links. Women in Entertainment looks like it will be great fun! If early is not allowed, please let me know, and I will understand. Thank you. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant 05:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Greeting editor -- because of your abundant activity (Women in Photography etc) I would like to bring to your attention that I have just created a page for a woman in the field of art history. The page is for Julia Friedman, a Russian born Los Angeles art historian. Needless to say, this page Julia Friedman could use your assistance! I hope you can read the wonderful review that inspired my efforts in The Times Literary Supplement published May 27. I would appreciate any contribution you could make or offer. Despite this mid-career woman's notable talent and scholarship, the past few hours since its launch have been very difficult. -- Wwwwhatupprrr Wwwwhatupprrr ( talk) 18:55, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi!
If moving the issue to the talk page and/or focusing specifically on the school will be for the best I'll be happy to do that :) WhisperToMe ( talk) 06:37, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
