Sadly American disability rights activist Judith Heumann has died. I am unlikely to be able to bring the entry up to snuff in the next few days (tho I will pitch in as much as possible!), so I wanted to flag her as a great WiR WP:ITNRD candidate. Innisfree987 ( talk) 03:35, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
I added a "cleaned up" version of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Wrestling to the Pro Wrestling WikiProject's requested articles page awhile back. I believe a number of Japanese-language red links exist on Wikipedia under English-language titles.

Hi all. I've recently (with Eddie891) started putting some time into Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries which manages the "On This Day" (OTD) section of the main page. The section highlights significant dates in history and the births and deaths of important figures. This section had lain abandoned for some time, leading to a lack of new content and errors appearing on the main page, I am hoping we can rejuvenate it.
Candidates for inclusion are stored in the edit pages of individual dates (for example, you can see the days for March here: Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/March). However many of the candidates have referencing or other issues and so cannot be included, leaving a pool of perhaps 10-15 to choose from. At the moment these tend towards European or US topics and male figures. I am keen for the section to include diverse content from across the world and, where possible, to feature a good mix of male and female figures. I think this project would be well placed to assist with this and would welcome any help members can provide.

While updating The Museum of Curiosity I'm delighted to see that Jess Wade will be one of the guests on this BBC Radio 4 show on Monday 20 March, 6.30pm. It's one of my favourite programmes, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by radio: three intelligent and varied guests arrive at the imaginary museum, chat generally abot their specialisms in the first half, then each choose, and discuss, what they wish to donate to the museum. Being radio, mere problems of size and feasibility don't come into it: the last episode featured gifts of the missing second half of Coleridge's poem Kubla Khan, a white hole, and a jar of marmalade. Highly recommended. Pam D 22:56, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello WiR, this article lists a number of architects and designers (and others in related fields) who may merit articles in this encyclopaedia — both the women mentioned, and in some cases, their "nominator" as well. Some are already covered, though may be good candidates for the sister project Women in Green, others are likely of interest for inclusion in various WiR sub-sections here. Rather than adding them willy-nilly to the thread at the top of this page (which, admittedly, has become a bit of a jumble in lieu of my proper understanding of how best to categorise correctly by WiR sub-section), I thought it best to start a new discussion. Cheers, Cl3phact0 ( talk) 07:55, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
Does anyone have any additional sources to improve Draft:Avery Alder, Draft:Jeeyon Shim, and Draft:Jonaya Kemper? BOZ ( talk) 15:47, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi all, a new user has been creating articles on notable women, and has nominated Ruth Scott Miller for DYK here. Would anyone be interested in helping them out? (there's a tag on the 'career' section of her article, and possibility for new hooks to be suggested on the DYK nompage). Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 12:10, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello WiR. An IP account has added a notability tag to the recently created Elise Wortley article. Personally I think the sources meet WP:NBIO, but as the article creator I might be a bit biased!
Could someone uninvolved please take a look and remove the tag if warranted. Any improvements to the article would also be greatly appreciated. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 21:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Just came across Award for Club Photographer ‘Boyesie’. Seems to have taken some time to filter through.-- Ipigott ( talk) 13:21, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
The glass barnstar is made in Scotland by FrogArt in Hawick (pronounced Hoyk). James was the only person to get a "real" WIR barnstar in 2022. Notable volunteers like Penny, Rosie, Ewan and Jess already have one (other deserving volunteers await an opportunity). James was nominated for upcoming UK Wikimedian of the year 2022 and missed out to Lucy (a very deserving winner). James has taken thousands of photos of notable women footballers as they play his (and my!) favourite club Lewes F.C. Women. His photos are all over dozens and dozens of articles. The club are notable for paying their women and men players from an equal budget. The whole award thing got messed up as it was meant to happen a year ago as part of a large WIR campaign (but the Ukraine war messed up our plans.) We have just caught up! The photo you see was taken in the last few days. James has just been interviewed by the Sky Sports channel about his work and award. (The underdog Lewes team had a run for the cup and got knocked out by ManU in the Quarter finals). James told them about Women in Red and the reporter said that they "knew all about us". I'm not a footy fan, just a fan of Lewes and their gender equality. If anyone sees us on the UK telly then do flag it up. Victuallers ( talk) 17:35, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi Women in Red! Is it acceptable for me to ask for some feedback on improving an AFC draft that is within the scope of this WikiProject? 110.227.19.227 ( talk) 14:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
I think this writer and activist is interesting. Here is her Washington Post obituary (local coverage?). I'd love to know more about the 1976 documentary How We Got the Vote narrated by Jean Stapleton ( Edith Bunker). I came across her working on Draft:Post-Newsweek Productions.
Reportedly the film won two Emmys (as well as other accolades) but I haven't yet found good sources for it or the awards. Here's a listing on Amazon for the VHS tape. FloridaArmy ( talk) 15:56, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
I've made a first draft of an article about Marva Griffin. She was on the earlier list of possible additions ( now archived), and is also probably relevant to the above thread about Italian women. I'm inclined to move this to mainspace (per Grutness on stubbing). Please review and advise. Thank you, Cl3phact0 ( talk) 09:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
As an editor who often faces AFDs from older articles, one thing I've noticed is that if it's a women's bio I rarely see anybody from this project at the AFDs comment, even when notability is very clear. I believe there are editors here who do often comment on AFDs, and editors are often very busy with their own research, so don't want to be critical of them, but I think protecting (notable) Women's bios from deletion should be as important as creating new ones. Perhaps a department and a few editors commit to patrolling AFDs, or at least some kind of rota to spread the monitoring of them for a day or two. In my experience the AFD ers wanting to delete articles I've started are almost always wrong. I've witnessed women's bios from other editors being deleted which can be expanded which would never have been deleted if they were being monitored. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
I've created an article on Jessica Spring. I can usually add an artist to the lists of 20th or 21st century women artists, but I need a year of birth to do that. Any suggestions or help getting her integrated into Wikipedia would be appreciated! WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 00:29, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Harriet Tubman is at WP:FAR, with the nominator expressing concerns over prose and sourcing. It would be a bit of shame to delist such an important article. It's far out of my wheelhouse, so posting here in the hopes that someone will see it and attempt to fix the issues. I can chip in a little with prose, but not much else I'm afraid. Vanamonde ( Talk) 15:14, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello team, with collective efforts from the Wikimedia community in Rwanda, more than 100 articles about Notable women have been created however, the interface and structure of the Wikipedia where these articles are put is still poor and less encouraging to the editors, For-instance : There is info box, most of the existing templates on other language wikis such as the stub template doesn't exist on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia, This wiki is not administered and monitored at all, which also results in other issues,
Therefore I ask help from Wikimedians with advanced technical help to support us ɴᴅᴀʜɪʀᴏ ᴅᴇʀʀɪᴄᴋ 🐎 ( talk) 10:57, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
In the light of the discussions on this page in connection with WikiDonne and the Italian wiki, I have been looking at the categories connected with women from various European countries. I was surprised to see from the subcategories to Category:Women by nationality and century that our coverage of Italian women is rather poor, especially as Italy is one of Europe's most important countries, not only in terms of population but for history and culture too. Proportionally, Germany and France have significantly better coverage of women while little Sweden, with about a fifth of the population of Italy, has about two-thirds as many women's biographies. One of the problems may well be that the proportion of women's biographies on the Italian wiki is still less than 16.5%. We may not be able to write biographies in Italian but we could certainly try to improve coverage of Italian women in English. Would it be useful to devote special attention to this over the coming months, either by including Italian women specifically in our monthly priorities or simply by giving them special attention in connection with priorities such as writers, artists, politics and sports? There are almost 400 editors listed under Category:Italian Wikipedians and over 2,000 mother-tongue Italians on Category:User it-N (twice as many as the number of mother-tongue Swedes). -- Ipigott ( talk) 11:41, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Recently added Italian women: Gaetanina Calvi, Maria Cristina Didero, Beatrice Leanza, Onorina Tomasin-Brion, and Marva Griffin (who, it appears, is a naturalised Italian citizen, though confirmation of this would be appreciated). Most of these articles could benefit form further expansion. Cheers, Cl3phact0 ( talk) 17:23, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

I came upon this earlier today via an upload over on Commons - I tinkered a tad with syntax, but it has since been draftified. Given that I'm not in the least qualified to examine an article about science I wondered if anyone here might be interested in taking a look and see if it's expandable and/or salvageable?

Hey everyone! If you all could give some more eyes on this page, that would be great.

Can I tempt anyone with an underrated wife entry? Historian Lilian Handlin co-wrote some of Oscar Handlin’s most important works and I was terribly surprised she has no WP entry of her own (I discovered this because she wrote an excellent obituary for a bio I am currently working on, Barbara Miller Solomon). However I can’t immediately turn up recent newspaper coverage of Lilian Handlin (i.e. no obituaries so she must still be with us—she was at the time of his death in 2011 at least). So it’d be a project of retrieving book reviews for NAUTHOR, I think. Anyway, I likely won’t get to it all too soon unfortunately, so I wanted to float the idea in case someone else is intrigued by it! Innisfree987 ( talk) 09:01, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

I happened to notice by accident on Gamaliel's talk page that the Feminism and Folklore contest has now been extended until 15 April. Their main Meta page still announces 1 February to 31st March at the top but under "Timeline", on 29 March the completion date was changed to "1 February 2023 00:01 UTC – 15 April 2023 11:59 UTC" (note 11:59 not 23:59). I find it very strange that there has been such a major change when most of us thought the contest was over. Even though our WiR focus expired on 31 March, I suppose this means that those interested can continue to submit articles for another two weeks.-- Ipigott ( talk) 14:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
So I finished my article and added project banners to the talk page, but when I pressed the link to add it to the editathon page for gender studies #262, it took me to books #266.

Hi all, a new user has been creating articles on notable women, and has nominated Ruth Scott Miller for DYK here. Would anyone be interested in helping them out? (there's a tag on the 'career' section of her article, and possibility for new hooks to be suggested on the DYK nompage). Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 12:10, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello WiR. An IP account has added a notability tag to the recently created Elise Wortley article. Personally I think the sources meet WP:NBIO, but as the article creator I might be a bit biased!
Could someone uninvolved please take a look and remove the tag if warranted. Any improvements to the article would also be greatly appreciated. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 21:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Just came across Award for Club Photographer ‘Boyesie’. Seems to have taken some time to filter through.-- Ipigott ( talk) 13:21, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
The glass barnstar is made in Scotland by FrogArt in Hawick (pronounced Hoyk). James was the only person to get a "real" WIR barnstar in 2022. Notable volunteers like Penny, Rosie, Ewan and Jess already have one (other deserving volunteers await an opportunity). James was nominated for upcoming UK Wikimedian of the year 2022 and missed out to Lucy (a very deserving winner). James has taken thousands of photos of notable women footballers as they play his (and my!) favourite club Lewes F.C. Women. His photos are all over dozens and dozens of articles. The club are notable for paying their women and men players from an equal budget. The whole award thing got messed up as it was meant to happen a year ago as part of a large WIR campaign (but the Ukraine war messed up our plans.) We have just caught up! The photo you see was taken in the last few days. James has just been interviewed by the Sky Sports channel about his work and award. (The underdog Lewes team had a run for the cup and got knocked out by ManU in the Quarter finals). James told them about Women in Red and the reporter said that they "knew all about us". I'm not a footy fan, just a fan of Lewes and their gender equality. If anyone sees us on the UK telly then do flag it up. Victuallers ( talk) 17:35, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi Women in Red! Is it acceptable for me to ask for some feedback on improving an AFC draft that is within the scope of this WikiProject? 110.227.19.227 ( talk) 14:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
I think this writer and activist is interesting. Here is her Washington Post obituary (local coverage?). I'd love to know more about the 1976 documentary How We Got the Vote narrated by Jean Stapleton ( Edith Bunker). I came across her working on Draft:Post-Newsweek Productions.
Reportedly the film won two Emmys (as well as other accolades) but I haven't yet found good sources for it or the awards. Here's a listing on Amazon for the VHS tape. FloridaArmy ( talk) 15:56, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
I've made a first draft of an article about Marva Griffin. She was on the earlier list of possible additions ( now archived), and is also probably relevant to the above thread about Italian women. I'm inclined to move this to mainspace (per Grutness on stubbing). Please review and advise. Thank you, Cl3phact0 ( talk) 09:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
As an editor who often faces AFDs from older articles, one thing I've noticed is that if it's a women's bio I rarely see anybody from this project at the AFDs comment, even when notability is very clear. I believe there are editors here who do often comment on AFDs, and editors are often very busy with their own research, so don't want to be critical of them, but I think protecting (notable) Women's bios from deletion should be as important as creating new ones. Perhaps a department and a few editors commit to patrolling AFDs, or at least some kind of rota to spread the monitoring of them for a day or two. In my experience the AFD ers wanting to delete articles I've started are almost always wrong. I've witnessed women's bios from other editors being deleted which can be expanded which would never have been deleted if they were being monitored. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
I've created an article on Jessica Spring. I can usually add an artist to the lists of 20th or 21st century women artists, but I need a year of birth to do that. Any suggestions or help getting her integrated into Wikipedia would be appreciated! WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 00:29, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Harriet Tubman is at WP:FAR, with the nominator expressing concerns over prose and sourcing. It would be a bit of shame to delist such an important article. It's far out of my wheelhouse, so posting here in the hopes that someone will see it and attempt to fix the issues. I can chip in a little with prose, but not much else I'm afraid. Vanamonde ( Talk) 15:14, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello team, with collective efforts from the Wikimedia community in Rwanda, more than 100 articles about Notable women have been created however, the interface and structure of the Wikipedia where these articles are put is still poor and less encouraging to the editors, For-instance : There is info box, most of the existing templates on other language wikis such as the stub template doesn't exist on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia, This wiki is not administered and monitored at all, which also results in other issues,
Therefore I ask help from Wikimedians with advanced technical help to support us ɴᴅᴀʜɪʀᴏ ᴅᴇʀʀɪᴄᴋ 🐎 ( talk) 10:57, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
In the light of the discussions on this page in connection with WikiDonne and the Italian wiki, I have been looking at the categories connected with women from various European countries. I was surprised to see from the subcategories to Category:Women by nationality and century that our coverage of Italian women is rather poor, especially as Italy is one of Europe's most important countries, not only in terms of population but for history and culture too. Proportionally, Germany and France have significantly better coverage of women while little Sweden, with about a fifth of the population of Italy, has about two-thirds as many women's biographies. One of the problems may well be that the proportion of women's biographies on the Italian wiki is still less than 16.5%. We may not be able to write biographies in Italian but we could certainly try to improve coverage of Italian women in English. Would it be useful to devote special attention to this over the coming months, either by including Italian women specifically in our monthly priorities or simply by giving them special attention in connection with priorities such as writers, artists, politics and sports? There are almost 400 editors listed under Category:Italian Wikipedians and over 2,000 mother-tongue Italians on Category:User it-N (twice as many as the number of mother-tongue Swedes). -- Ipigott ( talk) 11:41, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Recently added Italian women: Gaetanina Calvi, Maria Cristina Didero, Beatrice Leanza, Onorina Tomasin-Brion, and Marva Griffin (who, it appears, is a naturalised Italian citizen, though confirmation of this would be appreciated). Most of these articles could benefit form further expansion. Cheers, Cl3phact0 ( talk) 17:23, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

I came upon this earlier today via an upload over on Commons - I tinkered a tad with syntax, but it has since been draftified. Given that I'm not in the least qualified to examine an article about science I wondered if anyone here might be interested in taking a look and see if it's expandable and/or salvageable? It looks, also, as if it was created by a new(ish - came as a student and was away for a while before returning) editor. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

Hey everyone! If you all could give some more eyes on this page, that would be great. I just created the Arryn Zech page and updated the Barbara Dunkelman page recently, but I'm not altogether sure about Kara's page, so any help and thoughts on this would be great, as I'd love to move it from a draft to the mainspace if possible.

Can I tempt anyone with an underrated wife entry? Historian Lilian Handlin co-wrote some of Oscar Handlin’s most important works and I was terribly surprised she has no WP entry of her own (I discovered this because she wrote an excellent obituary for a bio I am currently working on, Barbara Miller Solomon). However I can’t immediately turn up recent newspaper coverage of Lilian Handlin (i.e. no obituaries so she must still be with us—she was at the time of his death in 2011 at least). So it’d be a project of retrieving book reviews for NAUTHOR, I think. Anyway, I likely won’t get to it all too soon unfortunately, so I wanted to float the idea in case someone else is intrigued by it! Innisfree987 ( talk) 09:01, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

I happened to notice by accident on Gamaliel's talk page that the Feminism and Folklore contest has now been extended until 15 April. Their main Meta page still announces 1 February to 31st March at the top but under "Timeline", on 29 March the completion date was changed to "1 February 2023 00:01 UTC – 15 April 2023 11:59 UTC" (note 11:59 not 23:59). I find it very strange that there has been such a major change when most of us thought the contest was over. Even though our WiR focus expired on 31 March, I suppose this means that those interested can continue to submit articles for another two weeks.-- Ipigott ( talk) 14:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
So I finished my article and added project banners to the talk page, but when I pressed the link to add it to the editathon page for gender studies #262, it took me to books #266.

The article appears to have an unfinished sentence ("Over 10,000 new images in 2022"). However, several edits were made with this left unchanged, leading me to believe it may be intentional.
