A wish for the new year |
A quote from Gargantua and Pantagruel by Rabelais; it is taken from the manuscript of Jules Massenet's opera Panurge, in the composer's own hand. It is my greeting of choice for the new year, because it encourages us to live joyfully, and try not to take life too seriously...while quaffing whatever beverage we choose, naturally. This has been a challenging year, to say the least; I hope that 2021 may bring a fresh start, and better days ahead. May the new year bring you joy and peace...and many days of fruitful editing. |

2021 : better new year! |
Although Kirsten Menger-Anderson's article on " The Sum of What? On Gender, Visibility, and Wikipedia" was published almost a year ago, I have only just come across it. I think you will find her comments on women authors particularly pertinent, especially her claim that "Of the 31 authors, playwrights, and poets that Wikipedia recommends should be included in every language version of the site, none are female." As a specialist in this area, is there anything you can do about it?-- Ipigott ( talk) 10:57, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Rosiestep! I'm a fairly new editor trying to figure out how to contribute to the climate and environment edit-a-thon. I don't know where the discussion is at and how I can ask questions as a newbie. I tried the talk page, but nobody has responded. I also tried to make notes beside my created pages, but I didn't get any response there, either. My main questions at the moment: (1) I don't know how to get copyright free images for the scientists. One image I got was from her memorial webpage. (2) I don't know how to manage references when they're mostly in Chinese, not English. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!!!

The article you created for Rebecca S. Nichols says that she was born in Greenwich, New Jersey (which is fully sourced in the books and obituary in the article) and has her placed in Category:People from Cumberland County, New Jersey (without a source). There is a place Greenwich Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey, but there are also Greenwich Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey and Greenwich Township, Warren County, New Jersey (and even East Greenwich Township, New Jersey). Do you have a source that places her in Cumberland County? I can't find anything to narrow it down further. Alansohn ( talk) 01:01, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rosie. Hope things are improving for you in California. I'm a bit concerned about the replacement of Members by Participants on the main WiR page and on the "cards" people complete when they join the project. Maybe you've authorized the change but as far as I remember in our recent discussions in connection with the distorted membership list, we tried to keep the distinction between members and participants. If you think we should now call our members participants, then I won't pursue the matter further but at a time when we are insisting on membership for contests, etc., I personally think it would be better to maintain the distinction. Perhaps MarioGom has further information about all this.-- Ipigott ( talk) 09:34, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
However, this particular project is doing something quite unusual and unanticipated, which is distinguishing between wikiproject participants and event participants. I think the solution to that is probably just spelling that out, in those words. (Or coming up with some other term for event participants – attendees, contributors, etc.). It would be best if "participant[s]" were reserved for the on-wiki sense, since when all projects are consistently using it, that will make for easier templating and bot behavior and so on. That is, the better of the two possible places for a wording divergence is in the odd case of the off-site events, not the standard case of on-site wikiproject participants. Anyway, there is no big hurry, especially if the WikiProject X code needs massaging to stop using "members" in the first place. That actually seems to be the primary vector by which "members" and "join" re-spread after years of shifting to "participants" and "participate" (or "sign up" or "add your username" or whatever). Given that it's a dead development project (i.e. something that did not get sufficient community consensus to survive), it's not dispositive of anything, just an aging problem to fix.

I see you have created the following two articles, the only difference being the type of apostophe: Northwestern University Woman's Medical School and Northwestern University Woman’s Medical School. I think Wikipedia usually prefers the simple ' apostrophe but it's the second one you have developed most.

Hi Rosie, you asked if it "would be okay if I reached out to you, too, regarding German language sources from time to time." Absolutely! You may also suggest articles which should be transferred into German and haven't been created. Can I use fotos from english articles when I create a German version? Besides Septima Poinsette Clark, I hope to be able to produce something worth publishing on the inventors Sally Fox and Nancy Johnson, as well as on women involved with genetics (which I studied for a bit): Ann Tsukamoto, CeCe Moore, Barbara Rae-Venter... however I have to limit myself to doing one thing at a time, despite the fact I'm really happy that I had a much better start this time. My last visit ended rather apruptly as some naggers took me apart, or at least it felt like that to me, my mentor didn't care to comminicate and I didn't know precisely what I wanted to do and how I wanted to contribute. So, this time it will surely work out much better! Greetings from Germany Llydia ( talk) 18:48, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Dear Rosie, this is really helpful! So I chose a random article from my not-available-in-German list, clicked on the pic and landed on a page that is marked with the drop-like design representing WikiCommons: /info/en/?search=Elizabeth_Taylor#/media/File:Elizabeth_Taylor,_late_1950s.jpg so I assume adding it to other language versions would be permitted. Pictures where the copyright has expired would also be ok, I guess - such as /info/en/?search=Craco#/media/File:Craco,_1960.jpg Then I dicovered that WikiCommons can be searched, however when I looked for Septima Poisette Clark, this is the only image I found: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2020_American_Innovation_One_Dollar_Coin_South_Carolina_Proof_Reverse.jpg, unlike the portrait you mentioned above, which has the warning printed right underneath. So, thanks to you I have the knowledge to avoid my initial pieces of work from being deleted or complained about for copyright infringement - THANK YOU! Llydia ( talk) 11:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi Rosie! I joined the WiR project and have been reading about it but I'm not sure how to begin. I want to participate in the Africa contest. When I create an article, how does it get labelled under WiR project? Aneth David (SLU) ( talk) 08:29, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
I used:
![]() | Women in Red: #1day1woman (2021) | |||

It wasn't displayed correctly, I guess that is why it was later removed? Here is the article Mkunde Chachage. I will improve it a bit more before moving to another article but I would like to understand how to use the templates correctly first.
Also, how do I add "the article to the relevant WiR event page in the Outcomes section", in this case #1day1woman page?

Hi Rosie,
This is Rosalind from 1000 women in Religion we have a meet-up through the american academy of relgion western region conference on March 20. I have a project page and dashboard /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Meetup/AARWR/1000_Women_in_Religion_March_20,_2021
I wonder how we can get a few experts to join us? And I wonder if we can post on your Women's history month page? I have a dash board also on the meet-up, but will have to send the zoom out to women who have not signed up for the conference and want to do the zoom. I am working out the logistics.
I posted the event on a Women in Red Page I thought, but it doesn't look like your current page. It had all sorts of women's organizations on it. Frankly I can't find it now. --Rosalind Flynn Hinton 13:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RosPost ( talk • contribs)

I see, Rosie, that you provided stats on our metrics page for WiR articles up to September 2020. I was wondering if you could provide a total for 2020 and perhaps an overall total up to March 2021. Also in connection with metrics, I have not been updating the metrics list for March 2021 with non-biographical articles about women and their works, etc., as Tagishsimon felt rather strongly that I was upsetting the automated statistics retrieved from Wikidata. This is likely to have two consequences: a) the metrics for March 2021 are likely to be substantially lower than those for March in previous years; and b) the month-by-month figures for the number of new articles listed here should be the same as those from Humaniki as they are based on identical criteria. It therefore looks to me as if there is little point in continuing the Metrics pages, particularly as there are only seven page views per day for the main Metrics page and only three per day for the current month. We could perhaps replace Metrics by Biographies per month if participants are really interested in seeing whether their new biographies have been included. What do you think?-- Ipigott ( talk) 10:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rosie. Hope things are improving for you in California. I'm a bit concerned about the replacement of Members by Participants on the main WiR page and on the "cards" people complete when they join the project. Maybe you've authorized the change but as far as I remember in our recent discussions in connection with the distorted membership list, we tried to keep the distinction between members and participants. If you think we should now call our members participants, then I won't pursue the matter further but at a time when we are insisting on membership for contests, etc., I personally think it would be better to maintain the distinction. Perhaps MarioGom has further information about all this.-- Ipigott ( talk) 09:34, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
However, this particular project is doing something quite unusual and unanticipated, which is distinguishing between wikiproject participants and event participants. I think the solution to that is probably just spelling that out, in those words. (Or coming up with some other term for event participants – attendees, contributors, etc.). It would be best if "participant[s]" were reserved for the on-wiki sense, since when all projects are consistently using it, that will make for easier templating and bot behavior and so on. That is, the better of the two possible places for a wording divergence is in the odd case of the off-site events, not the standard case of on-site wikiproject participants. Anyway, there is no big hurry, especially if the WikiProject X code needs massaging to stop using "members" in the first place. That actually seems to be the primary vector by which "members" and "join" re-spread after years of shifting to "participants" and "participate" (or "sign up" or "add your username" or whatever). Given that it's a dead development project (i.e. something that did not get sufficient community consensus to survive), it's not dispositive of anything, just an aging problem to fix.

User:Vinod Aacharya created Aditya Gadhvi which was previously created by user:Sunilbutolia as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aditya Gadhvi, the pattern of User:Vinod Aacharya is suspicious as a UPE as you can check his user page which is a copy paste of Barnstars and awards to create illusion, I would request you to have a look at this, Thanks Dtt1 Talk 08:42, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
I see you have created the following two articles, the only difference being the type of apostophe: Northwestern University Woman's Medical School and Northwestern University Woman’s Medical School. I think Wikipedia usually prefers the simple ' apostrophe but it's the second one you have developed most. It looks to me as if you were not aware that both had been created.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:23, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rosie, you asked if it "would be okay if I reached out to you, too, regarding German language sources from time to time." Absolutely! You may also suggest articles which should be transferred into German and haven't been created. Can I use fotos from english articles when I create a German version? Besides Septima Poinsette Clark, I hope to be able to produce something worth publishing on the inventors Sally Fox and Nancy Johnson, as well as on women involved with genetics (which I studied for a bit): Ann Tsukamoto, CeCe Moore, Barbara Rae-Venter... however I have to limit myself to doing one thing at a time, despite the fact I'm really happy that I had a much better start this time. My last visit ended rather apruptly as some naggers took me apart, or at least it felt like that to me, my mentor didn't care to comminicate and I didn't know precisely what I wanted to do and how I wanted to contribute. So, this time it will surely work out much better! Greetings from Germany Llydia ( talk) 18:48, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Dear Rosie, this is really helpful! So I chose a random article from my not-available-in-German list, clicked on the pic and landed on a page that is marked with the drop-like design representing WikiCommons: /info/en/?search=Elizabeth_Taylor#/media/File:Elizabeth_Taylor,_late_1950s.jpg so I assume adding it to other language versions would be permitted. Pictures where the copyright has expired would also be ok, I guess - such as /info/en/?search=Craco#/media/File:Craco,_1960.jpg Then I dicovered that WikiCommons can be searched, however when I looked for Septima Poisette Clark, this is the only image I found: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2020_American_Innovation_One_Dollar_Coin_South_Carolina_Proof_Reverse.jpg, unlike the portrait you mentioned above, which has the warning printed right underneath. So, thanks to you I have the knowledge to avoid my initial pieces of work from being deleted or complained about for copyright infringement - THANK YOU! Llydia ( talk) 11:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi Rosie! I joined the WiR project and have been reading about it but I'm not sure how to begin. I want to participate in the Africa contest. When I create an article, how does it get labelled under WiR project? Aneth David (SLU) ( talk) 08:29, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
I used:
![]() | Women in Red: #1day1woman (2021) | |||
|
It wasn't displayed correctly, I guess that is why it was later removed? Here is the article Mkunde Chachage. I will improve it a bit more before moving to another article but I would like to understand how to use the templates correctly first.
Also, how do I add "the article to the relevant WiR event page in the Outcomes section", in this case #1day1woman page?
Thanks Aneth David (SLU) ( talk) 16:56, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rosie, thanks for signing up to Women in Red's Women in Africa contest. An update, now that we're two months in: over 100 articles have been created in January and February! Please help make the final month of the contest a success too :) Dsp13 ( talk) 10:36, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rosie,
This is Rosalind from 1000 women in Religion we have a meet-up through the american academy of relgion western region conference on March 20. I have a project page and dashboard /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Meetup/AARWR/1000_Women_in_Religion_March_20,_2021
I wonder how we can get a few experts to join us? And I wonder if we can post on your Women's history month page? I have a dash board also on the meet-up, but will have to send the zoom out to women who have not signed up for the conference and want to do the zoom. I am working out the logistics.
I posted the event on a Women in Red Page I thought, but it doesn't look like your current page. It had all sorts of women's organizations on it. Frankly I can't find it now. --Rosalind Flynn Hinton 13:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RosPost ( talk • contribs)

I got a chuckle out of this edit of yours... Machine Gun Kelly was George Kelly Barnes — did you inadvertently confuse him with that one law firm (RIP) that paid for ridiculous phone numbers and flooded the airwaves with their vapid ear-worm jingle? Funny! -- Y not? 01:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I see, Rosie, that you provided stats on our metrics page for WiR articles up to September 2020. I was wondering if you could provide a total for 2020 and perhaps an overall total up to March 2021. Also in connection with metrics, I have not been updating the metrics list for March 2021 with non-biographical articles about women and their works, etc., as Tagishsimon felt rather strongly that I was upsetting the automated statistics retrieved from Wikidata. This is likely to have two consequences: a) the metrics for March 2021 are likely to be substantially lower than those for March in previous years; and b) the month-by-month figures for the number of new articles listed here should be the same as those from Humaniki as they are based on identical criteria. It therefore looks to me as if there is little point in continuing the Metrics pages, particularly as there are only seven page views per day for the main Metrics page and only three per day for the current month. We could perhaps replace Metrics by Biographies per month if participants are really interested in seeing whether their new biographies have been included. What do you think?-- Ipigott ( talk) 10:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
