Thanks again for encouraging me to submit List of women cabinet ministers of the Republic of Ireland as a Featured list candidate. It has just been promoted [1] [2] to featured list status.
The FL review process was quite arduous and prolonged; the wikicode of Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of women cabinet ministers of the Republic of Ireland/archive1 is almost as long as the wikicode of the list itself, despite lacking the list's complex table markup. It initially felt v offputting, and at one point I came close to withdrawing the nom, but I am glad I persevered. By about half way it started to feel more constructive, and I think the article was much improved through the review.
I hope it's all some encouragement to others working on lists of women in politics. I was sad to see that the Irish women cabinet ministers are the only women in Category:FL-Class Ireland articles, and the only one in Category:FL-Class biography (politics and government) articles apart from the US first ladies. It's also the only list of politicians in Category:FL-Class WikiProject Women articles. It'd be nice to see it lose its rarity value.
Thanks again. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 07:21, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ian! Thanks for your welcome message to Women In Red.
I'm helping to organize a feminist edit-a-thon in a few weeks (early May). The goal is to introduce more women to editing, and to work on supporting feminist topics. I'm wondering if WiR has any particular approaches that you think are good first projects for new editors. I don't think a three hour event with new editors is a good format for writing new articles, but I wonder if there are other ways we can be of service in that time. Also, if we'd like to formally partner with WiR is some way, how might we start going about that. Any ideas? Thanks! - Kenirwin/( talk) 17:10, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
I and a few others have made some improvements to Antonia Bernath, who's on the WiR article alerts for articles that might get deleted. If you have a chance, would you please have a look and weigh in on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Antonia Bernath -- it's been re-listed looking for more votes. Thanks! - Kenirwin/( talk) 15:37, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your welcome message and inviting me to join the group of Women in Red! Of course, I will do my best to reduce the list of red links by creating new articles about women artists. Also, I am happy to add information in English wikis so that other people can find out more about Latvian art. Kriptekss ( talk) 13:24, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
All due respect, people do use/read Wikisource. Perhaps not in the same numbers as WP. It is a library. A repository of knowledge. Its purpose is similar to that of WP—to share that knowledge with everyone. WS often supports WP with original source information. Without that history contained within libraries—"hyper" or otherwise, Wikipedia would have no credibility. So, your rationale for not linking (in a more visible/accessible way for mobile users) to relevant/fact-supporting sister sites is because "people don't use" them? I am reminded of a quotation by Boris Pasternak: "What do they mean by saying that my silence is courageous? ... I am silent because I am not printed."

Ian: Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for inviting me to join the Women in Red project. I began my involvement with the April Milhist Backlog Drive, and had so much fun researching and writing about unsung women heroes that I'm now working on Women of the Sea for May. Fixing Wikipedia's massive gender imbalance is a bit daunting, but so very important. I'm grateful to have the chance to help in my own small way. Wishing you continued success with your own research, writing and editing. Kind Regards. 47thPennVols ( talk) 17:35, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
It has taken me five days to weed through all the chaff on this. It was extremely difficult to balance what was obviously salacious gossip from the possible and probable. I think, though I may be mistaken, that it has reached GA criteria, (though the notes section is much longer than I would have wished, but necessary, IMO). If you have time, could you give it a critical overview and edit and let me know what you think? Thank you! SusunW ( talk) 17:39, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
It's nice to get some. Thank you. I don't deserve it, but never-the-less, thank you. On-the-other-hand, what you've achieved is to make me more mindful. (And that can't be all bad!) Best wishes, Pdfpdf ( talk) 10:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that you created an article for Irma Jaunzem, a well known singer in Latvia, too. May I suggest you a correction of her name? It seems to me that the last name Jaunzem is directly transliterated from Russian, although, the surname Jaunzeme is of Latvian origin, with the end of [e], as it appears in Latvian and English sources. Her Latvian father's name is Pēteris Jaunzems (in Latvian, with the end of [s]) but Pyotr Ivanovich Jaunsem, as you already transliterated it in the article, comes from Russian naming custom where the middle Ivanovich refers to his father's name (patronymic). As the article title already suggests, Irma Jaunzeme is the name of Latvian origin and, I think, should not be confused with translations from other languages. Sorry for bothering you with this. Regards, Kriptekss ( talk) 20:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Why is there a list of Icelandic women writers in addition to the List of Icelandic writers? I have included men writers and women writers on the main list and it is not too long. I am not entirely sure why it is gender listed. I also do not know if there should also be a list of Icelandic men writers since there is a list of women writers? I see there are categories for both men and women but these are "non-diffusing" so I guess gender lists are also non-diffusing also, so should I just add women writers to the list from the main list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frayae ( talk • contribs) 12:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ian, Here follows a polite request...
I notice that you have been the editor responsible for updating the above page recently. May I ask that next time you move the May Meetups to the Show/Hide section for Previous Events rather than deleting them? I have just re-entered the missing April Meetups so that the record is complete. No big deal really.-- Oronsay ( talk) 08:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Ipigott. I noticed that you periodically update certain pages to reflect the current percent of women’s biographies on English Wikipedia as found by WHGI. Your effort inspired me to create {{ WHGI}}, so that you (ideally) can update only one page (that one) each week, and it will take care of the others. It’s transcluded now on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red and {{ Women in Red header}}. I also included it in {{ WIR-purpose}}, which is embedded in {{ WIR-side}}. I put that last one on the four June meetup pages as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/00/2018.
Of course, use it on any other pages you want to. I didn’t update any of the past meetups, thinking maybe those should be left to history. I’m brand new to templates, and getting my feet wet with these and two others: {{ WiR-HeaderBox}} and {{ WiR-SubheaderBox}}. I’ve left a note on Headbomb’s talk, asking him to check these over, in case I’ve made some errors.
Anyway, I hope to make project participants’ lives a little easier. NotARabbit ( talk) 01:03, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
I have been wondering if you would be interested in covering the Saxbo ceramics company, considering that a number of women played central roles in it (especially of course its founder Nathalie Krebs, unfortunately already stubbed, but also Eva Stæhr-Hansen and others). A very informative video is available here. See also this source. Just checking, otherwise I wil just cover it myself (but I think it deserves a more well-written article).13:35, 25 June 2018 (UTC) Ramblersen ( talk)
Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hi, Ipigott. It gets kind of discouraging when the percentage gets stalled, doesn’t it? I guess it’s what is called “gradual change”. I’m puzzled by your edit summary here, though. If you edit the template itself ({{ WHGI}}), which I’ve done now, it shows “19.86% as of 1 July 2024”, and the percent symbol is definitely there. Were you by chance looking only at the edit screen, and seeing just the template code and not what a reader would see? I’d like to put the template back in.
You’ll still have to edit that page every week, to put in the raw biography numbers. No template for that, I’m afraid. ;-) NotARabbit ( talk) 22:44, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
'''17.65'''% {{#if:{{{date|}}} |as of July 2|}}<noinclude> {{documentation}} </noinclude>
I like your idea. Its fun for me to watch my own progress and I do like the flags. You had my name associated with Ana Maria Noe and I had created Bettina Gilois, so I fixed that. I hope that is ok.
Neither of those articles have been assigned a class. Does that automatically make them stubs? I can add "stubs", I put "no class" next to those biographies until I hear back from you. Thanks for starting this. I hope other editors are interested in participating. And thanks again for your encouragement and support. MauraWen ( talk) 17:47, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
When I started her, I had no idea that I would find so much information or that she would turn out to be such an iconic figure.

Hi, Ian. I took a short break from WIR, but am now back to researching, writing and editing. I posted my first article for WIR, Ruth E. Hodge, the other day. And just posted a new one for Mary Lowe Dickinson. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that there was a typo in the WIR redlink for her middle name until after I hit "Publish." (The redlink should have used the spelling of "Lowe" instead of "Low.") Being a relative newbie, I'm not sure to fix this. Do you have the editorial power to make the change and, if so, could you please correct the title for me? If not, can you please advise me how to get the title changed? Thank you in advance for your guidance. (P.S. Her middle name was acutally "Caroline." The name "Lowe" was the surname she took for her first marriage. Dickinson was the surname resulting from her second marriage. So, if there's anything else we need to do to clarify her naming convention, please advise.) Hope all is well in your world.

{{DEFAULTSORT:}}
, it will be copied to your article at the point where you have positioned your cursor. If you have created the article Anne Smith, for example, you can put the family name first and the given name second in order to obtain {{DEFAULTSORT:Smith, Anne}}
. This will mean the article will be listed under Smith rather than Anne in category listings, etc. If you look at the articles you have created since the beginning of August, you'll see I have added DEFAULTSORT just before the categories, i.e. after References or External links. Try it our on your next article. Happy editing!--

Hi! Thanks for your message and the one you left on Women in Red. Yes, we had a good day - the main event as you probably know was in London, where I was, where we had about 50 people over the course of the day, and then satellite events turned up in Phoenix, Chicago, Amsterdam and Melbourne as well. I was using the Outreach Dashboard to track everything (which didn't seem to work perfectly? maybe there's something better out there?) and we had 116 editors in total, and about 148 different articles got added/edited - though MOSTLY they were all totally new to Wikipedia, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks again for encouraging me to submit List of women cabinet ministers of the Republic of Ireland as a Featured list candidate. It has just been promoted [1] [2] to featured list status.
The FL review process was quite arduous and prolonged; the wikicode of Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of women cabinet ministers of the Republic of Ireland/archive1 is almost as long as the wikicode of the list itself, despite lacking the list's complex table markup. It initially felt v offputting, and at one point I came close to withdrawing the nom, but I am glad I persevered. By about half way it started to feel more constructive, and I think the article was much improved through the review.
I hope it's all some encouragement to others working on lists of women in politics. I was sad to see that the Irish women cabinet ministers are the only women in Category:FL-Class Ireland articles, and the only one in Category:FL-Class biography (politics and government) articles apart from the US first ladies. It's also the only list of politicians in Category:FL-Class WikiProject Women articles. It'd be nice to see it lose its rarity value.
Thanks again. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 07:21, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ian! Thanks for your welcome message to Women In Red.
I'm helping to organize a feminist edit-a-thon in a few weeks (early May). The goal is to introduce more women to editing, and to work on supporting feminist topics. I'm wondering if WiR has any particular approaches that you think are good first projects for new editors. I don't think a three hour event with new editors is a good format for writing new articles, but I wonder if there are other ways we can be of service in that time. Also, if we'd like to formally partner with WiR is some way, how might we start going about that. Any ideas? Thanks! - Kenirwin/( talk) 17:10, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
I and a few others have made some improvements to Antonia Bernath, who's on the WiR article alerts for articles that might get deleted. If you have a chance, would you please have a look and weigh in on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Antonia Bernath -- it's been re-listed looking for more votes. Thanks! - Kenirwin/( talk) 15:37, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your welcome message and inviting me to join the group of Women in Red! Of course, I will do my best to reduce the list of red links by creating new articles about women artists. Also, I am happy to add information in English wikis so that other people can find out more about Latvian art. Kriptekss ( talk) 13:24, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
All due respect, people do use/read Wikisource. Perhaps not in the same numbers as WP. It is a library. A repository of knowledge. Its purpose is similar to that of WP—to share that knowledge with everyone. WS often supports WP with original source information. Without that history contained within libraries—"hyper" or otherwise, Wikipedia would have no credibility. So, your rationale for not linking (in a more visible/accessible way for mobile users) to relevant/fact-supporting sister sites is because "people don't use" them? I am reminded of a quotation by Boris Pasternak: "What do they mean by saying that my silence is courageous? ... I am silent because I am not printed."

Ian: Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for inviting me to join the Women in Red project. I began my involvement with the April Milhist Backlog Drive, and had so much fun researching and writing about unsung women heroes that I'm now working on Women of the Sea for May. Fixing Wikipedia's massive gender imbalance is a bit daunting, but so very important. I'm grateful to have the chance to help in my own small way. Wishing you continued success with your own research, writing and editing. Kind Regards. 47thPennVols ( talk) 17:35, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
It has taken me five days to weed through all the chaff on this. It was extremely difficult to balance what was obviously salacious gossip from the possible and probable. I think, though I may be mistaken, that it has reached GA criteria, (though the notes section is much longer than I would have wished, but necessary, IMO). If you have time, could you give it a critical overview and edit and let me know what you think? Thank you! SusunW ( talk) 17:39, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
It's nice to get some. Thank you. I don't deserve it, but never-the-less, thank you. On-the-other-hand, what you've achieved is to make me more mindful. (And that can't be all bad!) Best wishes, Pdfpdf ( talk) 10:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that you created an article for Irma Jaunzem, a well known singer in Latvia, too. May I suggest you a correction of her name? It seems to me that the last name Jaunzem is directly transliterated from Russian, although, the surname Jaunzeme is of Latvian origin, with the end of [e], as it appears in Latvian and English sources. Her Latvian father's name is Pēteris Jaunzems (in Latvian, with the end of [s]) but Pyotr Ivanovich Jaunsem, as you already transliterated it in the article, comes from Russian naming custom where the middle Ivanovich refers to his father's name (patronymic). As the article title already suggests, Irma Jaunzeme is the name of Latvian origin and, I think, should not be confused with translations from other languages. Sorry for bothering you with this. Regards, Kriptekss ( talk) 20:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Why is there a list of Icelandic women writers in addition to the List of Icelandic writers? I have included men writers and women writers on the main list and it is not too long. I am not entirely sure why it is gender listed. I also do not know if there should also be a list of Icelandic men writers since there is a list of women writers? I see there are categories for both men and women but these are "non-diffusing" so I guess gender lists are also non-diffusing also, so should I just add women writers to the list from the main list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frayae ( talk • contribs) 12:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ian, Here follows a polite request...
I notice that you have been the editor responsible for updating the above page recently. May I ask that next time you move the May Meetups to the Show/Hide section for Previous Events rather than deleting them? I have just re-entered the missing April Meetups so that the record is complete. No big deal really.-- Oronsay ( talk) 08:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Ipigott. I noticed that you periodically update certain pages to reflect the current percent of women’s biographies on English Wikipedia as found by WHGI. Your effort inspired me to create {{ WHGI}}, so that you (ideally) can update only one page (that one) each week, and it will take care of the others. It’s transcluded now on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red and {{ Women in Red header}}. I also included it in {{ WIR-purpose}}, which is embedded in {{ WIR-side}}. I put that last one on the four June meetup pages as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/00/2018.
Of course, use it on any other pages you want to. I didn’t update any of the past meetups, thinking maybe those should be left to history. I’m brand new to templates, and getting my feet wet with these and two others: {{ WiR-HeaderBox}} and {{ WiR-SubheaderBox}}. I’ve left a note on Headbomb’s talk, asking him to check these over, in case I’ve made some errors.
Anyway, I hope to make project participants’ lives a little easier. NotARabbit ( talk) 01:03, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
I have been wondering if you would be interested in covering the Saxbo ceramics company, considering that a number of women played central roles in it (especially of course its founder Nathalie Krebs, unfortunately already stubbed, but also Eva Stæhr-Hansen and others). A very informative video is available here. See also this source. Just checking, otherwise I wil just cover it myself (but I think it deserves a more well-written article).13:35, 25 June 2018 (UTC) Ramblersen ( talk)
Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hi, Ipigott. It gets kind of discouraging when the percentage gets stalled, doesn’t it? I guess it’s what is called “gradual change”. I’m puzzled by your edit summary here, though. If you edit the template itself ({{ WHGI}}), which I’ve done now, it shows “19.86% as of 1 July 2024”, and the percent symbol is definitely there. Were you by chance looking only at the edit screen, and seeing just the template code and not what a reader would see? I’d like to put the template back in.
You’ll still have to edit that page every week, to put in the raw biography numbers. No template for that, I’m afraid. ;-) NotARabbit ( talk) 22:44, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
'''17.65'''% {{#if:{{{date|}}} |as of July 2|}}<noinclude> {{documentation}} </noinclude>
I like your idea. Its fun for me to watch my own progress and I do like the flags. You had my name associated with Ana Maria Noe and I had created Bettina Gilois, so I fixed that. I hope that is ok.
Neither of those articles have been assigned a class. Does that automatically make them stubs? I can add "stubs", I put "no class" next to those biographies until I hear back from you. Thanks for starting this. I hope other editors are interested in participating. And thanks again for your encouragement and support. MauraWen ( talk) 17:47, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
When I started her, I had no idea that I would find so much information or that she would turn out to be such an iconic figure.

Hi, Ian. I took a short break from WIR, but am now back to researching, writing and editing. I posted my first article for WIR, Ruth E. Hodge, the other day. And just posted a new one for Mary Lowe Dickinson. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that there was a typo in the WIR redlink for her middle name until after I hit "Publish." (The redlink should have used the spelling of "Lowe" instead of "Low.") Being a relative newbie, I'm not sure to fix this. Do you have the editorial power to make the change and, if so, could you please correct the title for me? If not, can you please advise me how to get the title changed? Thank you in advance for your guidance. (P.S. Her middle name was acutally "Caroline." The name "Lowe" was the surname she took for her first marriage. Dickinson was the surname resulting from her second marriage. So, if there's anything else we need to do to clarify her naming convention, please advise.) Hope all is well in your world.

{{DEFAULTSORT:}}
, it will be copied to your article at the point where you have positioned your cursor. If you have created the article Anne Smith, for example, you can put the family name first and the given name second in order to obtain {{DEFAULTSORT:Smith, Anne}}
. This will mean the article will be listed under Smith rather than Anne in category listings, etc. If you look at the articles you have created since the beginning of August, you'll see I have added DEFAULTSORT just before the categories, i.e. after References or External links. Try it our on your next article. Happy editing!--

Hi! Thanks for your message and the one you left on Women in Red. Yes, we had a good day - the main event as you probably know was in London, where I was, where we had about 50 people over the course of the day, and then satellite events turned up in Phoenix, Chicago, Amsterdam and Melbourne as well. I was using the Outreach Dashboard to track everything (which didn't seem to work perfectly? maybe there's something better out there?) and we had 116 editors in total, and about 148 different articles got added/edited - though MOSTLY they were all totally new to Wikipedia, so we'll see how it goes.

Thank you. LLMHoopes ( talk) 14:22, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

On 30 September 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Eusebia Cosme, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Afro-Cuban declamdora Eusebia Cosme performed only in Spanish, but packed American venues like Carnegie Hall? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Eusebia Cosme. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Eusebia Cosme), 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.
