Invite to Join WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia

Hi Alanasings! I am Galendalia ( talk · contribs) and I am reviving the WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia. I noticed that you signed up at some point to be a participant and as I am reviving this project, one of my tasks is to get the participant list in order. Would you please go to the Participants List and add your name and language(s) you speak? If you are already there and do not want to be, please remove yourself. If you want to remain, please put remain next to your name. If I do not see anything, I will move you to the inactive participant list. I am putting a timeline of 7 days on this action to help keep things moving along. It would also be great if you would be willing to join the task force for Pronunciation that would be awesome, as there are troublesome words we run into.

Thank you for considering joining us. If you decide to leave, I will be sad to see you leave as so many people have done a great job on the recordings and any work you have done makes a significant difference.

Women in Red

Hi there, Alanasings, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have been contributing for quite some time and that you now seem interested in contributing biographies of women. I'm sorry to hear you've run into difficulties with your draft of Katelyn Polantz but I'm sure we can help you along. For an article about a living person to be acceptable, notability must first be established by including information from at least three reliable independent sources (i.e. not directly associated with the subject) such as reports in newspapers, journals, biographical dictionaries or published books. Information in connection with awards or critical evaluations of the subject's work are also useful. You can find more detailed guidance in our essays, perhaps starting with the Primer. If you think you can improve the Polantz article along these lines, I would be happy to look at any improvements. If not, you might like to embark on other biographies for which reliable information is available. Please let me know if you run into any further difficulties or if you think I could help you with further work. Happy editing!-- Ipigott ( talk) 15:54, 24 September 2023 (UTC) reply
