I created a stub draft for Draft:Maria Mendeleeva, whose maternal efforts impacted the formation of the modern periodic table. Unfortunately, I can't move forward much because most of the relevant references are in russian. If someone can read russian, their help would be appreciated. Even just adding inline references for the data in the bio would be enough to publish the stub.

Dear Women in Red community,
It's great to say hello (and sorry for the very late message this year).
On 8th March we are launching the #VisibleWikiWomen 2022 campaign! In the 5th year of #VisibleWikiWomen, the theme for this 2022 campaign is Hope and healing: Creating feminist memory online.
We are grateful to partners and friends like you, who over the years have helped us bring thousand of images of important and influential women,especially black, brown, indigenous, trans women and non-binary individuals, to Wikipedia and the broader internet. As a key partner for the #VWW campaign, we'd love to have you joining us for this year’s edition! Let’s combat online invisibility by creating a shared and collective feminist memory that gives us hope and healing!!
This year, we will be running the campaign all year long, which will allow us to collaborate and work together in a more spacious and sustainable way. Because our team has been heavily impacted by this last Covid wave, we are planning a soft launch for the campaign next week, on March 8th. We would like to invite you to join us and amplify the campaign among your networks and communities. Please share our webpage and use our social media kit to spread the word about the campaign’s launch.
Along the year, here are a few ways you as a partner can support the campaign:
We are looking forward to hearing from you and continuing our partnership and collaboration along the year!

See https://historyforukraine.co/speakers-and-volunteers/ for a 24hr fundraising event (starts noon today UK time, ie 11.5 hrs from time of this email) of half-hour talks by historians, many of them female. The talks, or just the list of presenters, might offer ideas for articles. Pam D 00:39, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Greetings,
Adequate and nuanced overview for even non– Muslim audience is expected out of the articles Muslims and Muslim world. Whether the articles are achieving that purpose adequately? Requesting and expecting proactive participation in providing inputs from non–Muslim audience too along with Muslim users.
Since the article Muslim world is tagged various improvements it can not be submitted to formal review process still I feel the article deserves more inputs for content improvement.
Requesting your visit to the articles
Thanks

I was just alerted to this event by the Boulanger Initiative, a locally-headquartered group dedicated to encouraging performances of works by women composers.

I have been writing biographies of women in the context of the Women in Red climate initiative, which includes a link to crowd sourced oceanographers. [2] The original list started from 2005 and 2014 articles in Oceanography, the journal of The Oceanography Society, in which women shared their own one-page biographies. Indeed, I added many of the names in the interest of having all the names available. However, upon closer inspection, I don't think all of these women are notable. What are people's thoughts about removing names from such lists? -- DaffodilOcean ( talk) 22:29, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
All excellent points. I was considering it from the other perspective of hoping for a little efficiency so I don't look for sources on a person I have already mentally crossed off. I will find a different way to track people I have already looked up. Thanks everyone.

This popped up on my search page, and five of the six already have articles (to save you checking them if you see it). The one who doesn't is Emily Ford (not Emily Ford (1850–1930), Quaker artist and campaigner, nor Emily Ford (rower) (born 1994)). She may be a bit towards the BLP1E, but "The First Woman To Hike Wisconsin’s Grueling Ice Age Trail" (and the first person of colour too), and seems to have quite a lot of coverage (eg Guardian and a short film made about her). I've created two new articles today (first of the month, so WiR editathon day!), and need to get on with some RL stuff, but someone might like to have a go. Pam D 14:33, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
During the in memoriam segment of the Oscars telecast last night, at least one of the people featured got a Wikipedia article during Women in Red's "Women who died in 2021" editathon, in December--I know, because I started it.

Judge Scherer is only considered to be known for one case (albeit, one of the biggest trials Florida history) that she was "randomly" assigned to. Other than that, she is deemed young and inexperienced by a source that she doesn't like (South Florida Sun Sentinel), and seems like her family's legal drama is what comes up when you try looking for her background; I did find that she was an assistant prosecutor and assistant state attorney for a decade. People believing she only got the position of judge because of cronyism (apparently her father represented George W. Bush). I'm seeking opinions on if she is independently notable or not yet.

Question for the hive-mind: I am working on the Virginia Women's Monument article. Specifically looking at the individuals whose names are on the "Wall of Honor". A "Susanne Hirt" in included. The current link from her name is to a German slalom canoeist. I am trying to correct this. I think the correct person is Susanne Hirsch, a holocaust survivor who changed her name to Hirt and settled in Richmond, Virginia. If others agree, I will turn the link into a red link for Susanne Hirt (1913-2006). Any thoughts? WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 21:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
(restoring conflicting edit)
Thanks Beccaynr and Penny Richards, I now feel confident that Susanne B. Hirt is our honoree, and agree we should use that name for the title and will change it to a red link on the Virginia Women's Monument page. I'll put it on my list, but if either of you wants to take it, please do. Interesting life! WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 01:15, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
Putting this here since this seems like a very weird way to title that article.

Following the latest batch of statistics from Wikidata on 8 March, Humaniki is returning no results. There has been a problem since 3 March (see above). Maximilianklein will probably be able to sort things out in April. In the meantime, WDCM shows there are now 376,256 women's biographies on the EN wiki (up from 375,638 on 28 February) and that the percentage of women's vs. men's biographies (in terms of usage rather than sitelinks) is now 19.21%.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:41, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

19.21% [of bios are for women] as of 4 April 2022. But that means that of 1,881,935 biographies, only 361,569 are about women- so that's less than 1 in 5, ergo it is unlikely any bios in a random set of five will be for women. Why are you surprised? Or, going by the section header, are you trying to imply the AI has some programmed gender bias? Kingsif ( talk) 14:22, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
I was reading about the new cookbook by Tracey Medeiros recently. I saw she didn’t have an article, so I created a stub. It was nominated for deletion immediately.

I've just done a lengthy bit of work to create Big Jubilee Read, copying from a list of 70 titles and manipulating the data, via an Excel spreadsheet and the very useful " Excel2Wiki" helper, and had fun sorting out all the disambiguations needed (people write novels with titles like "Salt" and "Chinaman").
Just two of the 70 authors are red links: both women. Are we surprised?
Anyway, someone might like to have a go at Jing-Jing Lee [14] [15] [16] [17] or Yangsze Choo [18] [19] [20]. I suggest that inclusion in this high-profile list is probably notability in itself, for at least either the writer or the book in each case. Pam D 16:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
Noteworthy thread on Twitter from Merrilee Proffitt here, pointing to a 7 April 2022 Revised Report on Recording Gender in Personal Name Authority Records produced by an ad hoc task group of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging, which afaics is a significant thing in libraryland. tl;dr, their advice is: don't record gender in catalogues, remove gender from catalogues, fullstop, b/c causes harm.

This article has been brought to my attention by our new WiR member Digital_Lit_Anonymous as it has been AfD'd.

Dear Wonderful Wikimedians of Women in Red, the Global Advocacy team is inviting members of this group to participate in a series of conversations that will help us implement the Foundation Human Rights Policy.
We want to know how community members' human rights have been negatively impacted and how the Foundation can better support individuals and prevent such situations. Given the disproportionate harassment, violence and harms that Women face related to their Human Rights, we hope members of the community will join our calls and share their experiences.
You can join any of four regionally-focused conversations. Each call will be 60 minutes, on Zoom, with translation support. More information about how to join these calls, what we will do with the information collected, and the history of the human rights policy can be found here.

I'm having trouble finding the date of birth and death for Daisy Wood Hildreth. I'm seeing if anyone here would be interested in finding that information. Thanks in advance. SL93 ( talk) 01:43, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Judge Scherer is only considered to be known for one case (albeit, one of the biggest trials Florida history) that she was "randomly" assigned to. Other than that, she is deemed young and inexperienced by a source that she doesn't like (South Florida Sun Sentinel), and seems like her family's legal drama is what comes up when you try looking for her background; I did find that she was an assistant prosecutor and assistant state attorney for a decade. People believing she only got the position of judge because of cronyism (apparently her father represented George W. Bush). I'm seeking opinions on if she is independently notable or not yet.

FYI. I was copy editing Henry Wilson Hodge currently at DYK, and ran across an interesting write-up about his wife Sarah Wilson Hodge.
A rather remarkable woman. — Maile ( talk) 19:05, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

WP 1.0 bot stopped auto-updating on 4 April. (I updated it manually 6 April for WPWW). See also: Women Scientists; Women Artists. I'd be really happy if someone could sort out how to get it working again. Thanks. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 12:30, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello. I've started this draft right here which is basically Special:Permalink/402913209 but expanded further. Before I expand the article even more, I wanted some community feedback on whether or not I'm wasting my time on a BLP1E. Thanks, and feedback requested. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 12:53, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Found this over at WP:ANI while I was looking at it, and thought I'd raise it here since it seems to be within our purview, in case anyone might like to take a look. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 20:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
Question for the hive-mind: I am working on the Virginia Women's Monument article. Specifically looking at the individuals whose names are on the "Wall of Honor". A "Susanne Hirt" in included. The current link from her name is to a German slalom canoeist. I am trying to correct this. I think the correct person is Susanne Hirsch, a holocaust survivor who changed her name to Hirt and settled in Richmond, Virginia. If others agree, I will turn the link into a red link for Susanne Hirt (1913-2006). Any thoughts? WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 21:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
(restoring conflicting edit)
Thanks Beccaynr and Penny Richards, I now feel confident that Susanne B. Hirt is our honoree, and agree we should use that name for the title and will change it to a red link on the Virginia Women's Monument page. I'll put it on my list, but if either of you wants to take it, please do. Interesting life! WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 01:15, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
Putting this here since this seems like a very weird way to title that article. WP:COMMONNAME might apply, but there's a big WTF upon landing there to someone who isn't knee deep in Victorian society. I'd move, but I don't even know to what I'd move it.

Been some time since I have come here. What are we tagging new WIR articles as these days? Sometime back we used to add them to a tracker here. Are we doing that now? If so - can any of you add Elvera Britto to the WIR trackers. Ktin ( talk) 18:19, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
Following the latest batch of statistics from Wikidata on 8 March, Humaniki is returning no results. There has been a problem since 3 March (see above). Maximilianklein will probably be able to sort things out in April. In the meantime, WDCM shows there are now 376,256 women's biographies on the EN wiki (up from 375,638 on 28 February) and that the percentage of women's vs. men's biographies (in terms of usage rather than sitelinks) is now 19.21%.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:41, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Mimi Reinhardt, the secretary of Oskar Schindler has died. Is there a public domain image of her anywhere? Thriley ( talk) 21:44, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
I saw this article in draft space: Draft:Anna Balkanska. Does she appear notable? Thriley ( talk) 19:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Yesterday I uploaded Annie Salomons as part of the translation contest. I did a double check of the article on my phone. This morning the "Because you read" section of Wikipedia on the phone app offered me five more articles to read about Dutch and Flemish writers. All were men!!!!

19.21% [of bios are for women] as of 4 April 2022. But that means that of 1,881,935 biographies, only 361,569 are about women- so that's less than 1 in 5, ergo it is unlikely any bios in a random set of five will be for women. Why are you surprised? Or, going by the section header, are you trying to imply the AI has some programmed gender bias? Kingsif ( talk) 14:22, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
I was reading about the new cookbook by Tracey Medeiros recently. I saw she didn’t have an article, so I created a stub. It was nominated for deletion immediately. She has media going back to at least 2008. Any help finding sources would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley ( talk) 21:53, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi there -- Could someone try to help this editor out; they've received a slew of speedies and draftifications; the latest two are about women: Draft:Haya Muhammad Saleh & Draft:Haifa Bitar. Thanks for any help you can offer! Espresso Addict ( talk) 05:51, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
I've just done a lengthy bit of work to create Big Jubilee Read, copying from a list of 70 titles and manipulating the data, via an Excel spreadsheet and the very useful " Excel2Wiki" helper, and had fun sorting out all the disambiguations needed (people write novels with titles like "Salt" and "Chinaman").
Just two of the 70 authors are red links: both women. Are we surprised?
Anyway, someone might like to have a go at Jing-Jing Lee [14] [15] [16] [17] or Yangsze Choo [18] [19] [20]. I suggest that inclusion in this high-profile list is probably notability in itself, for at least either the writer or the book in each case. Pam D 16:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
Noteworthy thread on Twitter from Merrilee Proffitt here, pointing to a 7 April 2022 Revised Report on Recording Gender in Personal Name Authority Records produced by an ad hoc task group of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging, which afaics is a significant thing in libraryland. tl;dr, their advice is: don't record gender in catalogues, remove gender from catalogues, fullstop, b/c causes harm. Some food for thought here. -- Tagishsimon ( talk) 10:35, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
I recently created a draft for Liang Boqi. She has an article in Chinese, but I don’t feel comfortable using a translator as I have no familiarity with the language. Does any one speak Chinese or have a basic understanding of the language? Thriley ( talk) 20:39, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
This article has been brought to my attention by our new WiR member Digital_Lit_Anonymous as it has been AfD'd. See User talk:Digital Lit Anonymous who explains it has been created by a student interested in Leah Thomas. I'm rather confused about this as there have been many contributors to the article and the editor of Leah Thomas (ecofeminist) is the one who is calling for its deletion.-- Ipigott ( talk) 06:57, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Dear Wonderful Wikimedians of Women in Red, the Global Advocacy team is inviting members of this group to participate in a series of conversations that will help us implement the Foundation Human Rights Policy.
We want to know how community members' human rights have been negatively impacted and how the Foundation can better support individuals and prevent such situations. Given the disproportionate harassment, violence and harms that Women face related to their Human Rights, we hope members of the community will join our calls and share their experiences.
You can join any of four regionally-focused conversations. Each call will be 60 minutes, on Zoom, with translation support. More information about how to join these calls, what we will do with the information collected, and the history of the human rights policy can be found here.
