Hello Rosiestep! I was thinking further about this edit. When in mobile mode, you can not see the sister links in the left hand column. Mobile readers will not be made aware of them. Is this only a concern of mine? :) Londonjackbooks ( talk) 01:36, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi. We (the Research Team at Wikimedia Foundation) are building an algorithm that will align Wikipedia article sections across languages. For improving this algorithm we need the help of multilingual Wikipedia editors to provide true statements to the algorithm. You are contacted because based on your Babel template and/or content translation tool usage you know at least two of the following languages: ar (Arabic), fr (French), ja (Japanese), en (English), es (Spanish), ru (Russian).
(Note: by clicking the links in the following paragraph, you will be taken to Google spreadsheet.) If you'd like to help us with translating a subset of the section titles on or before 2018-05-06, please read and follow the instructions. If you see instructions in another language, please scroll down to find your preferred language. If you have questions about this message, you can contact us via Diego. Thank you! :) -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 15:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bo (surname) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bo (surname) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Kirbanzo ( talk) 18:52, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello, could you take a look at my page Zehra Say. Perhaps you could suggest some improvements as it has been nominated for deletion.-- GlobalSecretary ( talk) 13:33, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
As a member of the Women in Red project I apologise for the inconvenience but since you are one of the main members of the WIR, I wanted to clarify that whether the women biographies are targeted to be deleted so often especially in English Wikipedia unlike the biographies about men. Today I created the controversial article on the fashion designer, Sussanne Khan who is also popularly known as the ex-wife of Hrithik Roshan. But I also mentioned her career on fashion interior designing briefly with sources. As an experienced editor, I would wish to have your assistance on my issues in creating such an article.

Hi! Given your interest in countering systemic bias on Wikipedia, I thought an ongoing discussion on the Yale Student Abortion Art Controversy page might be of interest to you. As you know, women who emerge onto the public sphere as "scandalous" (especially in relation to issues around sexual harassment, gender-based abuse, or reproductive issues) are oftentimes forever defined by the scandals surrounding them. At present, this Wikipedia page conflates the controversy, artist, and artwork, with a bias toward the controversy's notability over the artist and artwork's. I would appreciate your thoughts on how to improve or change the page to better reflect the artist and project. Thank you! — Vera Syuzhet ( talk) 17:43, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Due to a deletion proposal I got into a discussion with someone about the way Wikipedia citations discriminate against women, LGBT and POC in part because of the fact that they get referenced on news articles etc less often than others. A subsequent issue may come from the increase in paywalls between editors and the information needed to write the Wikipedia articles. We have been discussing ways to increase the representation of women - or more accurately how to do our bit to increase the representation of women and other minorities. So we were also wondering if this increasing difficulty of proving the notability of these biographies has come up in any discussions and possibly what we can do to improve the situation?? I thought you would be a good person to ask as I wasn't sure where in Wikipedia to go to ask this.... Antiqueight ( talk) 16:38, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
47thPennVols It's a mystery to me, I can only confirm that it happens. I believe that it is a systemic problem of linear hierarchical thinking which ranks things in opposites and degrees, i.e. bad > good, low > high, rather than evaluating the comprehensive contributions of all to understand complex topics. As I don't think in hierarchies, it is difficult for me to understand. SusunW ( talk) 18:09, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
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.
