Hi all. I'm writing to you as a co-curator of the 'Sister projects' track along with Susanna Ånäs for WikidataCon 2021, which will take place online on 29-31 October 2021. The conference website is at [1].
We would like to invite you to submit a session proposal to the track, specifically on how Women in Red uses Redlists from Wikidata to support new article creation here - but we are also open to proposals on related topics!
If you are interested, you can find information about how to submit a session proposal at [2], and you can access the submission form at [3]. Please submit a session proposal through the Pretalx process so that we can review and schedule it appropriately - and make sure to mark it as a 'Sister projects' track proposal. Please note that we cannot accept a session outside of the Pretalx process. We also encourage you to submit talks to other tracks if you are interested!
Note that the deadline for submitting proposals is the 20th October - sorry for the short notice! Thanks. Mike Peel ( talk) 19:15, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi all, thanks for discussing this. Just a reminder that the deadline is the end of today (20th). If a panel would be too much, a short presentation (25 minutes) or lightning talk (10 minutes) would also be great (and if several of you submit a presentation, we can schedule them back-to-back).

I’m sure the answer is yes, but to confirm, is it a known issue that Listeria isn’t automatically updating even lists that aren’t too long for it to handle? In anticipation of next month’s Film + Stage editathon, I spent some time last night tidying and manually running the actresses by country Wikidata red lists, and most did run when prompted … so I’m not sure why they hadn’t done so in two months. Just add it to the list of problems? Innisfree987 ( talk) 21:27, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
An obit for Pauline Bart just appeared in the NYT. I am sure she's notable but none of the standard criteria seem to apply: WP:NPROF seems like the best fit, but she wasn't a named chair, her sole-authored papers aren't that widely cited, and most of her books are co-authored. WP:NAUTHOR is a little sketchy for the same reason. WP:BASIC might work if more obits appear, but I'm concerned that this will be taken to AfD if I create it right now. Pauline Bart (Q109327850) might be useful for anyone interested in pursuing this. AleatoryPonderings ( ???) ( !!!) 22:50, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Hei, hej and hey! Is there anyone interested in philosophy who would be interested in fleshing out her article (first female professor of philosophy in Sweden, etc.)? I'm having a hard time accessing a lot of sources that are on the other side of the pond from me such as this one because of the USA's opinion of the GDPR, but I also know jack about philosophy, so I wouldn't be able to do her article justice on that front anyways. I'm adding stuff (with sources I can access) to her Wikidata item (so far mainly from Finnish), so that should help at least. - Yupik ( talk) 07:56, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks to SusunW, I've recently caught the PD no notice bug. I found this excellent photo which by all indications is in the public domain. I have no experience with WP:FP but was thinking of nominating it. Similar story with File:Barbara Stanwyck - Whitey Schafer - October 1944.jpg, although Barbara Stanwyck is so much better known than Olga San Juan that I thought it would be better to start with OSJ.

Should anyone be interested in a gender studies project, I’ve resurrected an AFC draft that dates back to—wait for it—2013. Zillah Eisenstein is Emerita Professor of Politics at Ithaca College and abundantly meets NAUTHOR and NACADEMIC, having published 12 widely reviewed books as well as the edited collection that originally published the Combahee River Collective Statement. (Almost all the work had already been published when the draft was declined in 2013… I do see why it was declined but it’s really a shame to be losing these entries and contributors.) Anyway. Entry just getting started, would welcome anyone interested! Innisfree987 ( talk) 00:53, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

@ Megalibrarygirl: While searching around about what more is out there about women's list of halls of fame, I ran across some city and county lists you started. That inspired me to expand the navbox Template:United States Women's Halls of Fame to include county and city levels and add yours on it. As far as I'm concerned, anyone creating such a list, can link it on that template. I find such lists a pretty good starting point for anyone looking for bios to create in their location, etc. These navboxes are really good for at-a-glance browsing. — Maile ( talk) 02:33, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

My brother Niel and I were surprised (& happy) to find a Wikipedia on our grandmother Dorah Sterne. There are a couple of slight edits. She was born on October 29th. Her only child was nicknamed “Dody”- our Mother was born Nov 3rd, 1933 & died on July 4th, 1998 from complications of multiple sclerosis. While trying to find Dr. Richards’ email, I ran across the beautiful piece she crocheted with the disabled or handicapped symbol. Our mother used a wheelchair due to her severe MS so that struck a chord with us. 100.15.183.221 ( talk) 01:22, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

I stumbled on this pianist performer and composer and started Draft:Pauline Alpert. Fun to hear some of her songs on YouTube. She also appeared in I think several Vitaphone Varieties films but I don't know if any of the footage survivies. I only found a still of her at a paino. Anyway, super fun to hear her play and I wanted to post here in case anyone alwas interested. Not so much an area of expertise for me. But rockin' ragtime tunes for sure and I'm surprised she doesn't habe an entry already. User:78.26 are you more into classical? FloridaArmy ( talk) 18:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
I participated to organizing an event about adding to Wikipedia women in international politics. I expected the event participants to edit fr.wikipedia, as I communicated about the event in that language, and know that wikipedia better than the English-language one. Nevertheless, the participants also edited English and German-language Wikipedia (all details
on this dashboard, if you'd like to see the metrics). One of the contributors that edited in English decided to write about her boss, as all the men at the same level of responsibility in her organization. She disclosed the potential conflict of interest on her profile, and went on to write an OK-ish biographical article, which got promptly deleted because of the tone. (The entire structure and tone of the article was copied from a similar biography of a man working for the same org.)
I was wondering if an admin here could help me retrieve the text as a draft, so she can try to rework the tone? The page's deleted log can be found
here.--

I'll be adding this list to the US Women's Hall of Fame navbox, but thought you all might like to see the Guam site I found on this. It not only lists 29 women, but also scroll down on that page, and you'll see a few links to speeches by subject matter. — Maile ( talk) 15:39, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello:
I was wondering, is this project 100% focused on biographies, or do you also assist with/work on pages for women's businesses? Thank you! LeepKendall ( talk) 17:13, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
LeepKendall: The first thing I notice is a problem with your link to public-benefit corporation which is up for deletion. Is it perhaps simply a benefit corporation? If not, you'll need to provide further explanations. I also think the article would benefit from a section on customer reactions, level of satisfaction, etc. At the moment, the article looks very much as if it is designed to promote the company rather than to give an objective account of its development. I think it would stand a better chance of acceptance if it was toned down a bit, perhaps with attention to some of the difficulties the company has faced, for instance in connection with supply and demand. If you can find appropriate sources, it would be useful to compare its current status with that of its competitors. It is especially important to bear these considerations in mind when you are working on behalf of the company or one of its executives.-- Ipigott ( talk) 06:55, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
The background of suffrage in Colorado as well as events that followed vis-a-vis Woodrow Wilson becoming president and the national push for suffrage are worth contextualizing for these subjects. Also World War I. The Wikipedia entry on Wilson's second presidwntial inauguration in 1916 covers the issues a bit, but otherwise they seem to be largely absent from Wikipedia. Nothing at 1912 Democratic Party National Convention for example.
All noted here.

Hi all. Just to note that SportsOlympic ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been blocked after being discovered to be a sock of another account that had previously been blocked too. Per WP:CSD pretty much all of their page creations have been deleted. This is almost 600 articles, and as this user was prolific in creating biographies of women, I thought I'd post this here. If you scroll down the list and spot any that could be saved, you can request a WP:REFUND, which could hopefully salvage some of them. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
I certainly hope all these articles had wikidata items because scrolling down a no-context list of names is not super productive … AleatoryPonderings ( ???) ( !!!) 15:24, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Editors in turn are not permitted to post or edit material at the direction of a banned or blocked editor (sometimes called proxy editing or proxying) unless they are able to show that the changes are either verifiable or productive and they have independent reasons for making such edits. Editors who reinstate edits made by a banned or blocked editor take complete responsibility for the content.You can also cite the deletion notice template itself which says you can remove it if you intend to fix the page. I don't expect everyone to know this, so you should expect to have to explain it to anyone who might edit-war with you or come to warn you, including possibly admins. You can watchlist Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as having been created by blocked or banned users to keep track of what's up for deletion. G5 deletion usually takes longer than other CSDs because there are more incorrect taggings for this than some of the others, and checking is also more cumbersome. On the other hand, admins working at WP:SPI make G5 deletions without tagging the page first, so most such pages never even get to that category. I also suspect some admins maintain a list of editors they trust to correctly tag CSDs which they can delete without checking, which will be quick too.IMO, G5 deletions ought to be refundable because a page could have nothing wrong with it and editors are allowed to save it if they "intend to fix" it. However, having made such common sense arguments (but not exactly this one) at WP:REFUND before and seen them not work, I would think we'd need an RFC to get G5 into the refund eligible bunch. Currently, G5 is not among either lists at the top of WP:REFUND. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 07:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
I just removed a claim that Ed Bullins was physically abusive towards Pat Parker during their brief marriage because (1) the source seems unreliable and (2) does not specifically mention Bullins. (I was initially confused about where exactly the "scared to death" language came from but have now found the right page, so the edit summary is misleading, for which I apologize). The source claims it is reproducing an interview published in Hera in 1975. Does anyone know how to access this magazine? I don't want to scrub bad facts about Bullins and thereby contribute to gender bias, but I also don't want to report things like this without good sourcing. AleatoryPonderings ( ???)

I'd appreciate any help fleshing out these drafts below - These are four women who at different points had their hands in creating a musical called Just Because (1922), which (according to the Library of Congress) "may well have been the first full-length Broadway musical authored entirely by women". [25]
All of the women seemed pretty involved in each other's work, so I'm having a hard time repeating info and sources x4 and keeping all the information straight between their contributions. If anyone's up for it, it might be worth starting an draft/article on the play as well, either Just Because (musical) or Just Because (play).

Hi there – I have created a number of biographies on women using WiR lists and attempted to make a start on this individual at Draft:Ruth Crosby Noble, but it was unfortunately considered insufficiently sourced over at AfD, where it was suggested I place a note here to see if anyone has any better sourcing to make her draft article mainspace-worthy.

Our mother used a wheelchair due to her severe MS so that struck a chord with us. 100.15.183.221 ( talk) 01:22, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Israeli cybersecurity analyst Keren Elazari is at AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keren Elazari. Full disclosure, I have done a bunch of work on the article (post-AfD, to try to save it) and have !voted there. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 18:18, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
I stumbled on this pianist performer and composer and started Draft:Pauline Alpert. Fun to hear some of her songs on YouTube. She also appeared in I think several Vitaphone Varieties films but I don't know if any of the footage survivies. I only found a still of her at a paino. Anyway, super fun to hear her play and I wanted to post here in case anyone alwas interested. Not so much an area of expertise for me. But rockin' ragtime tunes for sure and I'm surprised she doesn't habe an entry already. User:78.26 are you more into classical? FloridaArmy ( talk) 18:29, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
I participated to organizing an event about adding to Wikipedia women in international politics. I expected the event participants to edit fr.wikipedia, as I communicated about the event in that language, and know that wikipedia better than the English-language one. Nevertheless, the participants also edited English and German-language Wikipedia (all details
on this dashboard, if you'd like to see the metrics). One of the contributors that edited in English decided to write about her boss, as all the men at the same level of responsibility in her organization. She disclosed the potential conflict of interest on her profile, and went on to write an OK-ish biographical article, which got promptly deleted because of the tone. (The entire structure and tone of the article was copied from a similar biography of a man working for the same org.)
I was wondering if an admin here could help me retrieve the text as a draft, so she can try to rework the tone? The page's deleted log can be found
here.--

I'll be adding this list to the US Women's Hall of Fame navbox, but thought you all might like to see the Guam site I found on this. It not only lists 29 women, but also scroll down on that page, and you'll see a few links to speeches by subject matter. — Maile ( talk) 15:39, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello:
I was wondering, is this project 100% focused on biographies, or do you also assist with/work on pages for women's businesses? Thank you! LeepKendall ( talk) 17:13, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
LeepKendall: The first thing I notice is a problem with your link to public-benefit corporation which is up for deletion. Is it perhaps simply a benefit corporation? If not, you'll need to provide further explanations. I also think the article would benefit from a section on customer reactions, level of satisfaction, etc. At the moment, the article looks very much as if it is designed to promote the company rather than to give an objective account of its development. I think it would stand a better chance of acceptance if it was toned down a bit, perhaps with attention to some of the difficulties the company has faced, for instance in connection with supply and demand. If you can find appropriate sources, it would be useful to compare its current status with that of its competitors. It is especially important to bear these considerations in mind when you are working on behalf of the company or one of its executives.-- Ipigott ( talk) 06:55, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
The background of suffrage in Colorado as well as events that followed vis-a-vis Woodrow Wilson becoming president and the national push for suffrage are worth contextualizing for these subjects. Also World War I. The Wikipedia entry on Wilson's second presidwntial inauguration in 1916 covers the issues a bit, but otherwise they seem to be largely absent from Wikipedia. Nothing at 1912 Democratic Party National Convention for example.
All noted here.

Hi all. Just to note that SportsOlympic ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been blocked after being discovered to be a sock of another account that had previously been blocked too. Per WP:CSD pretty much all of their page creations have been deleted. This is almost 600 articles, and as this user was prolific in creating biographies of women, I thought I'd post this here. If you scroll down the list and spot any that could be saved, you can request a WP:REFUND, which could hopefully salvage some of them. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
I certainly hope all these articles had wikidata items because scrolling down a no-context list of names is not super productive … AleatoryPonderings ( ???) ( !!!) 15:24, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Editors in turn are not permitted to post or edit material at the direction of a banned or blocked editor (sometimes called proxy editing or proxying) unless they are able to show that the changes are either verifiable or productive and they have independent reasons for making such edits. Editors who reinstate edits made by a banned or blocked editor take complete responsibility for the content.You can also cite the deletion notice template itself which says you can remove it if you intend to fix the page. I don't expect everyone to know this, so you should expect to have to explain it to anyone who might edit-war with you or come to warn you, including possibly admins. You can watchlist Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as having been created by blocked or banned users to keep track of what's up for deletion. G5 deletion usually takes longer than other CSDs because there are more incorrect taggings for this than some of the others, and checking is also more cumbersome. On the other hand, admins working at WP:SPI make G5 deletions without tagging the page first, so most such pages never even get to that category. I also suspect some admins maintain a list of editors they trust to correctly tag CSDs which they can delete without checking, which will be quick too.IMO, G5 deletions ought to be refundable because a page could have nothing wrong with it and editors are allowed to save it if they "intend to fix" it. However, having made such common sense arguments (but not exactly this one) at WP:REFUND before and seen them not work, I would think we'd need an RFC to get G5 into the refund eligible bunch. Currently, G5 is not among either lists at the top of WP:REFUND. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 07:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
I just removed a claim that Ed Bullins was physically abusive towards Pat Parker during their brief marriage because (1) the source seems unreliable and (2) does not specifically mention Bullins. (I was initially confused about where exactly the "scared to death" language came from but have now found the right page, so the edit summary is misleading, for which I apologize). The source claims it is reproducing an interview published in Hera in 1975. Does anyone know how to access this magazine? I don't want to scrub bad facts about Bullins and thereby contribute to gender bias, but I also don't want to report things like this without good sourcing. AleatoryPonderings ( ???)

I'd appreciate any help fleshing out these drafts below - These are four women who at different points had their hands in creating a musical called Just Because (1922), which (according to the Library of Congress) "may well have been the first full-length Broadway musical authored entirely by women". [25]
All of the women seemed pretty involved in each other's work, so I'm having a hard time repeating info and sources x4 and keeping all the information straight between their contributions. If anyone's up for it, it might be worth starting an draft/article on the play as well, either Just Because (musical) or Just Because (play).

Hi there – I have created a number of biographies on women using WiR lists and attempted to make a start on this individual at Draft:Ruth Crosby Noble, but it was unfortunately considered insufficiently sourced over at AfD, where it was suggested I place a note here to see if anyone has any better sourcing to make her draft article mainspace-worthy.
