1) I cannot believe no article has been written on her in French or English, but 2) I'm probably going to need some help, as you know I struggle with French. For instance, this says get it somewhere else? Also this (Italian) I believe says her heritage is Tunisian/Jewish? and does this say she married in May 1958? I wish I could find an article that says that, or frankly anything on her early life or career trajectory. Putting dates to places she worked would certainly help, as to my reading it is more promotional without concrete dates. Please feel free to jump in on it if you'd like.

Can you archive your talk page, my iPad is super slow here, thanks. Looking about some of the famous polyglots typically take at least 2 years to become properly fluent (C1-2 level) in a language, longer for languages like Japanese and Hungarian. Most of the claims online about hours needed to attain it are grossly underestimated. 500 hours is nothing! A solid core can typically be achieved in a year. There's a big difference between deciphering text and being highly fluent at writing and speaking.† Encyclopædius 09:28, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Yes young children under 10 have an astounding capacity for learning which far exceeds adults, you'll find most of the world class classical musicians started very young, some as young as 3! As I've progressed I'm finding that forming sentences in speech and writing together is the only way I can really remember a lot of vocabulary long term, particularly in languages like German which have a huge amount of similarly spelled words. Short sentences comprising two or three words ot learn work best I think in the early stages to build vocabulary. Reading is a great way to build passive vocabulary and understanding but the real nitty gritty in my opinion is being able to recall and reproduce the words in the right contexts. Which takes a lot of time and means I have less time to spend on other languages. I will continue spending small amounts of time each week in reading and listening to the six languages I'm focusing on but I'm focusing on building my French up to an intermediate level at the moment and speaking a lot! Spanish I've reached a stage where I can understand a large amount of what is being said without subtitles, though varies on the speed and topic of discussion!† Encyclopædius 10:59, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I used the Women in Red tool to find articles that were not accepted for creation. I didn't write the original but there were tons of reliable sources so I gave it a try to rewrite it. I have not myself ever successfully gotten an article through AfC and I would love to get some feedback on what I've got. Would you mind having a look and/or pointing me in the direction for more feedback in my Talk before I submit it? It's in my sandbox: [ [1]] Thank you for your time and efforts.

I don't know if any of these names have your interest but Berlingske has an annual list of the Most Influential Danish Women. The 2019 list is behind a paywall but the 2018list is immediately accessible to all. Forgive me for posting it here and not on the crowd-sourced list but I didn't want to engage in listing individual names since I don't known which one of them (if any) you might find interesting. Mette Reissmann may btw also soon be relevant in case she ends up as Soc.'s final candidate for the position as Lord Mayor of Copenhagen at next year's s municipal election.

This would not have been possible without your support and we want to thank you. If you have not yet listed your name as a participant in the contest page please do so.
Please make sure to list the articles you have created or improved in the article achievements' section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked. To be able to claim prizes, please also ensure to list your articles on the users by articles page. We would be awarding prizes to different categories of winners:
We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!
Thank you once again for being part of this global event! -- Jamie Tubers ( talk) 10:30, 06 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ipigott! I was wondering if you could help me with something. I recently created a page (Jack Schwadron) and it was nominated for deletion. I have 46+ credible sources listed. I wrote back to them on the talk page and explained this, but another user collapsed my comments. Why would he do that and do you know if its possible to undo this action? Also wondering if you could help show me how I can vote to keep for my page. So crazy how this has all happened - wikipedia is wild! Thanks in advance <3 BigMusicBaby ( talk) 22:18, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Uggghhhhhh...I would so love to do this. I am away from home almost every weekend now and it's getting difficult to do my Winter routine and be here at the same time. I was telling Susun that I may have to pause being a Wikipedian until March or April of 2021. That's when we are getting ready for the thaw. The nights are getting so long and soon the sun won't even rise above the horizon. I am going to hold on as long as I can though. If I disappear one day just look for my return next Spring. :) -- Tsistunagiska ( talk) 17:20, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Many thanks for reviewing the pages I've made recently - Sophie Howe, Minette Batters and so on. Very much appreciated. To explain what I'm doing, I'm working my way through the BBC Radio 4 Women's Hour Power List 2020 announced on 16 November. Of the 30, 17 were not mentioned in Wikipedia. I am working through, and if they are sufficiently notable, staring a page for each.-- MerielGJones ( talk) 13:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
I haven't taken it live yet as we are still trying to get the redlinks done and I am still trying to find someone who works on women's history to review it, but it has stabilized and I think we have the organizational part done. Trying to figure out what goes where in it was challenging. I'm shooting to nominate it on the 25th, so if you could look it over and give it a copyedit that would be wonderful. If you don't have time, I get it. Thanks so much. SusunW ( talk) 14:32, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Last one from the poll tax redlist. I think she easily qualifies for a GA. If you have time and the inclination, could you give it a copyedit? Thank you so much. SusunW ( talk) 19:22, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, someone left a note on my talk page telling me not to add my new articles to the Metrics pages because the bot will take care of it. But I see that you have been adding articles. Should I continue adding pages as I create them? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 22:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
This one is tied to the poll tax group by virtue of her dad Joseph Gelders, which TJMSmith found. I was fascinated by her story. I do not think that she and her husband ever divorced and I wasn't quite sure how to write that. Each lists their "spouse" in their obits, as well as their partners. Anyway, if you could give it a once over, I definitely think it is GA material. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 18:28, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
And while I'm here, how would you title an article on this woman. Common name is Lady Lacoste, but that seems wrong. Do I use Marie-Louise Globensky (her maiden name and how Wikidata has her) and this thesis calls her? Marie-Louise Lacoste, like the first link does? Marie-Louise Globensky Lacoste or Marie-Louise Globensky, Lady Lacoste? Titled people always confuse me. Thanks. SusunW ( talk) 22:45, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

On 11 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Women's poll tax repeal movement, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after U.S. women secured the right to vote in 1920, those from the South fought against paying a poll tax for the next 40 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Women's poll tax repeal movement. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Women's poll tax repeal movement), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. 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.

If you have the time, I could use some help with a problem. This source (p 84) contains this statement "Thanks to Denmark's delegate to the League [of Nations] (a woman who also happened to be vice-president of the ICW), in 1930 a resolution requesting that discussions be resumed was put before the Assembly and adopted". Why they didn't name her I have no idea, but it cites the statement to This article, which is in French. Is there any hope that it identifies the Danish woman by name? If you are busy, no worries. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and I hope we all have a better (and less stressful) 2021. SusunW ( talk) 22:34, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the encouraging words on my articles on Dutch women artists! I don't know how I wound up in the Netherlands, but I like it here. And I am particularly intrigued by the era between the two wars. Artists fleeing from and to the Netherlands, and some of them, sadly being caught up in the Holocaust. As you may have gathered from some of my posts on the WiR talk page, I am working on a list of artists who participated in Onze Kunst van Heden. I am mainly working off-line in a complicated spreadsheet, trying to determine which artists truly fell into obscurity. So far I've research about 150 of the 700+ artist who participated. A rough guess, at least 30% so far have an article in English, Dutch, or appear in Wikidata. I pause to create pages for the women artists and sometimes (sometimes) write up their husbands. Best, WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 17:48, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

2021 : better new year! |
I am not writing Haiti's part yet, but because it was united with the Dominican Republic between 1822 and 1844, it comes into play. I found a copy of the Civil Code of 1825 as later amended, but alas, can only glean bits. This says on page 448, if I translate it correctly that a woman who has lost her nationality by marriage to a foreigner must give up her Haitian property. It does not say that she automatically does lose it. But, going on the fact that Bolivia adopted the Napoleonic Code and it specifically says she does, I think it probable that indeed she does lose nationality. If I am reading this correctly, see note 19, wives were required to follow the nationality of the husband until termination of the marriage, but it is speaking of French wives, so am unsure if this is a comparison of the French code or applies to Haitians. Can you help? Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 17:26, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks for the nice message! I will absolutely go through those lists at some point. For now though, I'll be focussing on making pages for all MFs and mayors. I'm not exclusively focussing on women for that, though most of the MFs without pages are women. I might look through some of the WiR redlists from time to time and just pick someone.

Hello, I have appreciated your commentary on my work as I have been learning to edit. Last night I created this page: Westpac Outstanding Women Award, which has since been proposed for deletion based on lack of notability. You can see both the proposal and my thinking about why it is notable on the discussion page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westpac Outstanding Women Award. To be clear, I am not canvassing for support; as a learner, I would value hearing your thinking on this matter. Particularly, I feel strongly that, for small countries like Papua New Giunea, notable topics will pretty much never rate on the scale of a US notion of notability -- but that does not discount the notability for PNG. However, there are many notable women in red brought up by this award. Thank you, Oughtta Be Otters ( talk) 22:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Spanish I've reached a stage where I can understand a large amount of what is being said without subtitles, though varies on the speed and topic of discussion!† Encyclopædius 10:59, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I used the Women in Red tool to find articles that were not accepted for creation. I didn't write the original but there were tons of reliable sources so I gave it a try to rewrite it. I have not myself ever successfully gotten an article through AfC and I would love to get some feedback on what I've got. Would you mind having a look and/or pointing me in the direction for more feedback in my Talk before I submit it? It's in my sandbox: [ [1]] Thank you for your time and efforts.

I don't know if any of these names have your interest but Berlingske has an annual list of the Most Influential Danish Women. The 2019 list is behind a paywall but the 2018list is immediately accessible to all. Forgive me for posting it here and not on the crowd-sourced list but I didn't want to engage in listing individual names since I don't known which one of them (if any) you might find interesting. Mette Reissmann may btw also soon be relevant in case she ends up as Soc.'s final candidate for the position as Lord Mayor of Copenhagen at next year's s municipal election.

This would not have been possible without your support and we want to thank you. If you have not yet listed your name as a participant in the contest page please do so.
Please make sure to list the articles you have created or improved in the article achievements' section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked. To be able to claim prizes, please also ensure to list your articles on the users by articles page. We would be awarding prizes to different categories of winners:

Hi Ipigott! I was wondering if you could help me with something. I recently created a page (Jack Schwadron) and it was nominated for deletion. I have 46+ credible sources listed. I wrote back to them on the talk page and explained this, but another user collapsed my comments. Why would he do that and do you know if its possible to undo this action? Also wondering if you could help show me how I can vote to keep for my page. So crazy how this has all happened - wikipedia is wild! Thanks in advance <3 BigMusicBaby ( talk) 22:18, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Uggghhhhhh...I would so love to do this. I am away from home almost every weekend now and it's getting difficult to do my Winter routine and be here at the same time. I was telling Susun that I may have to pause being a Wikipedian until March or April of 2021. That's when we are getting ready for the thaw. The nights are getting so long and soon the sun won't even rise above the horizon. I am going to hold on as long as I can though. If I disappear one day just look for my return next Spring. :) -- Tsistunagiska ( talk) 17:20, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ipigott, thank you for your kind words. I do plan to get back creating more biographies. At the moment, I am overseeing the WikiGap Pakistan Challenge but once I am free will start again. Regards Khilari&historian ( talk) 17:46, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Many thanks for reviewing the pages I've made recently - Sophie Howe, Minette Batters and so on. Very much appreciated. To explain what I'm doing, I'm working my way through the BBC Radio 4 Women's Hour Power List 2020 announced on 16 November. Of the 30, 17 were not mentioned in Wikipedia. I am working through, and if they are sufficiently notable, staring a page for each.-- MerielGJones ( talk) 13:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
I haven't taken it live yet as we are still trying to get the redlinks done and I am still trying to find someone who works on women's history to review it, but it has stabilized and I think we have the organizational part done. Trying to figure out what goes where in it was challenging. I'm shooting to nominate it on the 25th, so if you could look it over and give it a copyedit that would be wonderful. If you don't have time, I get it. Thanks so much. SusunW ( talk) 14:32, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Last one from the poll tax redlist. I think she easily qualifies for a GA. If you have time and the inclination, could you give it a copyedit? Thank you so much. SusunW ( talk) 19:22, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, someone left a note on my talk page telling me not to add my new articles to the Metrics pages because the bot will take care of it. But I see that you have been adding articles. Should I continue adding pages as I create them? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 22:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
This one is tied to the poll tax group by virtue of her dad Joseph Gelders, which TJMSmith found. I was fascinated by her story. I do not think that she and her husband ever divorced and I wasn't quite sure how to write that. Each lists their "spouse" in their obits, as well as their partners. Anyway, if you could give it a once over, I definitely think it is GA material. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 18:28, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
And while I'm here, how would you title an article on this woman. Common name is Lady Lacoste, but that seems wrong. Do I use Marie-Louise Globensky (her maiden name and how Wikidata has her) and this thesis calls her? Marie-Louise Lacoste, like the first link does? Marie-Louise Globensky Lacoste or Marie-Louise Globensky, Lady Lacoste? Titled people always confuse me. Thanks. SusunW ( talk) 22:45, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Ian, thank you for your dedication to helping the project close gaps that exist and Wikipedia to find a soul with which to feel. Your contributions are immeasurable. It is so important, this human experience we live. Never take it for granted. Your colors shine and I am grateful to have seen them on display. Tsistunagiska ( talk) 16:35, 10 December 2020 (UTC) |
On 11 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Women's poll tax repeal movement, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after U.S. women secured the right to vote in 1920, those from the South fought against paying a poll tax for the next 40 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Women's poll tax repeal movement. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Women's poll tax repeal movement), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. 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.

If you have the time, I could use some help with a problem. This source (p 84) contains this statement "Thanks to Denmark's delegate to the League [of Nations] (a woman who also happened to be vice-president of the ICW), in 1930 a resolution requesting that discussions be resumed was put before the Assembly and adopted". Why they didn't name her I have no idea, but it cites the statement to This article, which is in French. Is there any hope that it identifies the Danish woman by name? If you are busy, no worries. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and I hope we all have a better (and less stressful) 2021. SusunW ( talk) 22:34, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the encouraging words on my articles on Dutch women artists! I don't know how I wound up in the Netherlands, but I like it here. And I am particularly intrigued by the era between the two wars. Artists fleeing from and to the Netherlands, and some of them, sadly being caught up in the Holocaust. As you may have gathered from some of my posts on the WiR talk page, I am working on a list of artists who participated in Onze Kunst van Heden. I am mainly working off-line in a complicated spreadsheet, trying to determine which artists truly fell into obscurity. So far I've research about 150 of the 700+ artist who participated. A rough guess, at least 30% so far have an article in English, Dutch, or appear in Wikidata. I pause to create pages for the women artists and sometimes (sometimes) write up their husbands. Best, WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 17:48, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

2021 : better new year! |
I am not writing Haiti's part yet, but because it was united with the Dominican Republic between 1822 and 1844, it comes into play. I found a copy of the Civil Code of 1825 as later amended, but alas, can only glean bits. This says on page 448, if I translate it correctly that a woman who has lost her nationality by marriage to a foreigner must give up her Haitian property. It does not say that she automatically does lose it. But, going on the fact that Bolivia adopted the Napoleonic Code and it specifically says she does, I think it probable that indeed she does lose nationality. If I am reading this correctly, see note 19, wives were required to follow the nationality of the husband until termination of the marriage, but it is speaking of French wives, so am unsure if this is a comparison of the French code or applies to Haitians. Can you help? Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 17:26, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for pinging me, but I decided to WP:DISENGAGE. That said, now that I see that your principal interests are IT and culture, there might be something I can learn from you. What's your take? ◅ Sebastian 08:02, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey. Thanks for the nice message! I will absolutely go through those lists at some point. For now though, I'll be focussing on making pages for all MFs and mayors. I'm not exclusively focussing on women for that, though most of the MFs without pages are women. I might look through some of the WiR redlists from time to time and just pick someone. Excited to be part of the WiR project, so thank you for the nice welcome! Kaffe42 ( talk) 15:13, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I have appreciated your commentary on my work as I have been learning to edit. Last night I created this page: Westpac Outstanding Women Award, which has since been proposed for deletion based on lack of notability. You can see both the proposal and my thinking about why it is notable on the discussion page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westpac Outstanding Women Award. To be clear, I am not canvassing for support; as a learner, I would value hearing your thinking on this matter. Particularly, I feel strongly that, for small countries like Papua New Giunea, notable topics will pretty much never rate on the scale of a US notion of notability -- but that does not discount the notability for PNG. However, there are many notable women in red brought up by this award. Thank you, Oughtta Be Otters ( talk) 22:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Is there an award for the most encouraging new article? I counted 13 editors who had one of their first 10 edits in the Trudi Gerster article within the last 24 hours. Thats an accomplishment, right? Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 22:12, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you worked on the climate change performance index article. Would be useful to have a few tables to show exactly on how the index was calculated, and have up-to-date information available at wikipedia/wikidata. In particular:
