Hiya i just created a page for Dutch historian Mineke Bosch, since it's my first Women in Red contribution I'd appreciate if someone could give it onceover and let me know it's an OK start. I did have a question about a selected works section, i'm going through the various help docs but i don't really see anything about how much to select, is it just at my discretion? She has something like 174 publications on her university page so i'm not listing them all :) Answers welcome here or on the talkpage. All the best, Mujinga ( talk) 14:38, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Such a great wikiproject, kudos to all involved. I love to fill in redlinks, so I guess I'm a silent member of this project, but have an inhibition about creating bios on living people that I would like some guidance on. There are some excellent researchers who publish material I am citing, but the trend is that other editors have created articles on scientists with seemingly less hesitation when they are men (I cynically presume it is more likely to appear at AfD, "so it goes"). Anyway, given my hesitancy about creating bios on the living but notable, is the best way to bring this to others attention by redlinking the name or noting it on a list? cygnis insignis 12:14, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi all,
I was just talking with a new editor, CuriousDaily, about an interesting idea they have for an article: women's suffrage in film. It seems like we don't cover such a topic directly, although there are plenty of relevant sources out there. There's a "popular culture" section of Template:Suffrage, but otherwise I don't even see a category.
So we were talking about how best to approach it, e.g. women's suffrage in film, suffragists in film, suffrage films, pro-suffrage films, etc. My inclination was to recommend starting "women's suffrage in film" which could encompass the rest, unless there are sufficient sources concentrated on a genre they refer to as e.g. "suffrage films," but that's based more on Wikipedia best practices than on deep knowledge of the subject.
Since you've been doing so much great research/writing about women's suffrage recently, I thought WikiProject members/page-watchers may have some valuable input on the best approach, may have come across some good relevant sources on the topic that you could share, or may know whether or not we deal with this or related topics already (perhaps within another article/context we've not yet come across).
For context, CuriousDaily is participating in a Wiki Education professional development course to improve suffrage-related articles in collaboration with the National Archives (in advance of its Rightfully Hers exhibit opening in May).
Thanks! -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 21:17, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I added a limit to Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Scientists of 5000 entries, due to ListeriaBot not being able to edit the page anymore and the massive size making the page slow to load. Even with a max of 5000 entries (which about halved the size of this specific page) the page continuous to load slowly.
My recommendation would be to limit at least every page to a sensible number of entries, would like to get some thoughts and or opinions from you about this. Thanks, Redalert2fan ( talk) 22:47, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
Does this project have any way of covering biographies of women appearing on the front page as part of In The News? These often as part of the "recent deaths" section, because the presence of obituaries allows us to greatly improve such articles. Tania Mallet should be appearing on the main page shortly, Zuzana Čaputová is there right now, Aretha Franklin was a previous major feature, while I have also worked to get Andrea Levy and Rachael Bland on the main page.

Hello,
An increasing amount of articles seem to point out that this work of art was not the creation of Marcel Duchamp but Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, so I tried for the article to reflect that better. As a result, a user not only removed all my edits, including references, but also completely deleted her name from the lede of the article. I put it back in there, but as he has removed all I wrote, I am pretty sure he will remove that once more. Is there anything I can do?

I haven't really been updatuing the showcase until today, so here's everything since the last update, for your enjoyment. They are by various people and restorationists, a good chunk are mine; Yann - who is rather underrepresented in this slice compared to how much he does - did the Anne Dallas Dudley image; Rhododendrites did the excellent Helen Keller restoration; Jebulon did the Nobel Prize one - he does a lot of work, but much of it for French Wikipedia, so not all of it gets over here; and the Martha Érika Alonso was released by her before her untimely death.
There are currently five women-related FPCs.

Tonight's drop from WikiEd slightly less successful than yesterday's, though in fairness this seems to be from an editathon. @ Jami430: When WikiEd does this sort of thing, could you PLEASE drop a note and provide a list of articles to WiR, here, since there is a team of people here who can help with format, categorisation & suchlike. Right now a number of your articles were promoted at a time when they were of poor enough quality that they'll be picked off for deletion, which is going to be very disheartening for the contributors. You're not on your own with the results of an editathon if you involve other willing & experienced volunteers. thx. -- Tagishsimon ( talk)

I've created about thirty new stubs for American women artists in the past couple of days. It came about accidentally as I realized that the clearest notability criteria for artists is if they are included in "multiple museum collections". So I looked at the Whitney Museum or American Art collection, starting with "A", and did a quick search to see if any of the female names did not have pages. If they didn't (a lot did not), was there a second museum with them in the collection? So far I am up to "H" in the Whitney collection. If anyone would like to take a shot at adding material, the list is on my user page. The stubs are very minimal, but basically impossible to delete, per WP:ARTIST!

of the Sex Workers' Rights Movement before I tried launching it onto the mainspace because it had been previously deleted having met some backlash: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colette Pervette. I had done a complete rewrite overhaul of the article. I read up on the guidelines and essays and I cited all my sources thoroughly. I wanted to request feedback, and I realize now I should have moved it to Special: space or Draft: space (it was in my User: sub pages). However, I forgetfully submitted it anyway, and it has been deleted again, even though I honestly felt I had met the criteria. I want to revise it and seek feedback, only the trouble is I didn't make a backup copy of the article I had been working on all week, and now it's gone without a trace. I contacted the editor directly on his talk page for a copy a few minutes ago, so I hope they responds soon. I am seeking feedback/support with this article, improving NPOV writing, and navigating deletion discussions. Olivettilly ( talk) 05:34, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Having a service providing short links exclusively for the Wikimedia projects is a community request that came up regularly on Phabricator or in community discussions. After a common work of developers from the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Germany, we are now able to provide such a feature, it will be enabled on April 11th on Meta.
Last night I was chasing down some information about Candace Roberts (no article yet, but she seems an intriguing proposition...I may work something up this weekend) and that led me to this list: WOMEN CLOCKMAKERS, WATCHMAKERS & CASEMAKERS in EUROPE, AMERICA, & CANADA 1350 --- 1950. I have no idea how one would even begin figuring out notability requirements, but I figured this might be of interest to someone working on the field of decorative arts, where there is much fodder for future work. Incidentally, the same site provides me with information on:

Hi all
I'm finishing a blog post about gender gap events and I want to add an overall %s of male vs female articles (I know this is available for Wikidata but I'm writing for a general audience so the Wikipedia number makes much more senese). I'm really suprised this isn't easily available WHGI, unless I'm missing something? (if the person who makes it pretty please could you add this?)

I had been intending to do an entry for Mrs. Eric Pritchard (kind of a cult hero for her "Cult of Chiffon" book (1902) among dress historians and fashion researchers) for a LONG time, but had found her to be the MOST extraordinarily difficult person to research/actually find out anything about. Turns out Marian Westropp-Dawson (as she was born) has an incredibly convoluted history with possibly two marriages (one which I can't find out anything about - did Eric Pritchard even exist? A pen-name intended to confer respectability on her as a underwear-loving woman fashion journalist?). There is still quite a bit of work to be done - she was clearly a very interesting character, and I need to add something about her connections to Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick, to whom Cult of Chiffon was dedicated. I got so confused trying to disentangle all the conflicting leads and different clues and hints that I would appreciate it if fellow editors could check and see if it is clearly explained.
But I think she is a GREAT example of a Woman in Red, especially as someone who basically set out to tell the new century that it was Absolutely Fine And Not Remotely Immoral For Women To Like Fancy Underwear, and also say You Do Not Have To Be a Fashion Victim, You Just Have To Believe in Your Own Beautiful Taste And You'll Be Gorgeous and Chic.... Yeah. Been kind of a fan of Mrs P for a while, but I'm a bit worried about having to rely so much on ThePeerage for information (is it a reliable source? I checked and I see it is used for some nobility articles, so I think it's OK?). Thanks so much in advance for any help, editing suggestions and oversights you can offer! It is much, much appreciated - I'd like to nominate her for DYK if I can polish the page up a bit more. Mabalu ( talk) 20:33, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
I have just discovered that there are lots of incorrect links to the article about Jane Fletcher, full name Jane Ada Fletcher (1870-1956), an Australian ornithologist and author. There is a modern-day Jane Fletcher who writes lesbian speculative fiction. I changed the link to Jane Fletcher (writer) in one article, but then realised that every single link to the existing article is for the modern-day day woman, apart from the redirect from Jane Ada Fletcher. Is there any way someone can remove the redirect from Jane Ada Fletcher (including updating Wikidata obviously)? Or should I change the rest of the links? Oronsay ( talk) 21:32, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

This appears to be an April Fools joke, no real plan would be written in this style of techno-cryptic babble: "catalyzing convenorship", "gender-equitable pipelines", "paradigm of free knowledge", "positive and unified free knowledge policy agenda".

There is currently a deletion review discussion on Dorothy Hague at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 March 21. A politician in Ontario, Canada in the 1950s and 1960s, she was one of the first women to be elected reeve in Ontario (The reeve was the head of the town council, the equivalent of the mayor in a city) and she and Marie Curtis were the first women on Metropolitan Toronto council and its executive. Please note, in deletion review endorse means keep deleted and overturn means undelete the article. 157.52.12.31 ( talk) 09:48, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
I noticed this article on the list. There isn't any discussion yet on the deletion page. It isn't clear to me if Rogers is sufficiently notable, but I think she at least deserves a little effort and investigation. She's had a fairly impressive career so far, although definitely not notable. However, she's a person of color and a lesbian, and in the last few years she's been speaking at Tech conferences on diversity. I think her work on diversity in Seattle, and her speaking might be notable in an different category. Before I spend anymore time on this, I'd like the opinion of some experienced editors.

Greetings,
Yesterday I located a list of Canadian women artist that need articles written. I randomly choose Joan Almond. One of the reasons think her page may have gotten onto the recommended list was her work being selected by National Gallery of Canada. Now I can not find my way back to that list of women. Can you help me with that? Also, yesterday I found a link template for creating a draft page for a photographer. Again, have lost my way. Can you help with that also. Since I've done a bit of researching and gathering references I would like to use the template to create a new article for her and the list of Canadian artist who need pages for future reference.

I noticed a few minutes ago that the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Actresses - US page includes Ernest Butterworth Jr. (at number 143 as I write this note).

Here is Anouk's list: Marina Abramovic Jacinda Ardern Tarana Burke Emma González Wangari Maathai Meghan, Duchess of Sussex MichelleObama Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez SerenaWilliams Oprah Winfrey Malala Yousafzai #jeannedarc #cocochanel #mariecurie #princessdiana #ameliaearheart #audreyhepburn #fridakahlo #monalisa #nefertiti #florencenightingale #naomiparker #rosaparks #sallyride #wilmarudolph #margaretthatcher #motherteresa #sojournertruth I think we should wikify this music video somehow, but music is not my thing. At the least we should make sure all of these women have OK wikipages (at first glance I think they are OK). Best, Jane ( talk) 14:22, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
I've created about thirty new stubs for American women artists in the past couple of days. It came about accidentally as I realized that the clearest notability criteria for artists is if they are included in "multiple museum collections". So I looked at the Whitney Museum or American Art collection, starting with "A", and did a quick search to see if any of the female names did not have pages. If they didn't (a lot did not), was there a second museum with them in the collection? So far I am up to "H" in the Whitney collection. If anyone would like to take a shot at adding material, the list is on my user page. The stubs are very minimal, but basically impossible to delete, per WP:ARTIST!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If know of missing newsletters (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 07:13, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
I have been adding museum curators and dress historians to Wikidata. Not all of them meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, but many do, and all of ones I added have references/citations (some better than others, of course). Is it appropriate to add worklists for these occupation categories to this project? - PKM ( talk) 22:14, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
of the Sex Workers' Rights Movement before I tried launching it onto the mainspace because it had been previously deleted having met some backlash: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colette Pervette. I had done a complete rewrite overhaul of the article. I read up on the guidelines and essays and I cited all my sources thoroughly. I wanted to request feedback, and I realize now I should have moved it to Special: space or Draft: space (it was in my User: sub pages). However, I forgetfully submitted it anyway, and it has been deleted again, even though I honestly felt I had met the criteria. I want to revise it and seek feedback, only the trouble is I didn't make a backup copy of the article I had been working on all week, and now it's gone without a trace. I contacted the editor directly on his talk page for a copy a few minutes ago, so I hope they responds soon. I am seeking feedback/support with this article, improving NPOV writing, and navigating deletion discussions. Olivettilly ( talk) 05:34, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Having a service providing short links exclusively for the Wikimedia projects is a community request that came up regularly on Phabricator or in community discussions. After a common work of developers from the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Germany, we are now able to provide such a feature, it will be enabled on April 11th on Meta.
Last night I was chasing down some information about Candace Roberts (no article yet, but she seems an intriguing proposition...I may work something up this weekend) and that led me to this list: WOMEN CLOCKMAKERS, WATCHMAKERS & CASEMAKERS in EUROPE, AMERICA, & CANADA 1350 --- 1950. I have no idea how one would even begin figuring out notability requirements, but I figured this might be of interest to someone working on the field of decorative arts, where there is much fodder for future work. Incidentally, the same site provides me with information on:

Hi all
I'm finishing a blog post about gender gap events and I want to add an overall %s of male vs female articles (I know this is available for Wikidata but I'm writing for a general audience so the Wikipedia number makes much more senese). I'm really suprised this isn't easily available WHGI, unless I'm missing something? (if the person who makes it pretty please could you add this?)
Thanks

I had been intending to do an entry for Mrs. Eric Pritchard (kind of a cult hero for her "Cult of Chiffon" book (1902) among dress historians and fashion researchers) for a LONG time, but had found her to be the MOST extraordinarily difficult person to research/actually find out anything about. Turns out Marian Westropp-Dawson (as she was born) has an incredibly convoluted history with possibly two marriages (one which I can't find out anything about - did Eric Pritchard even exist? A pen-name intended to confer respectability on her as a underwear-loving woman fashion journalist?). There is still quite a bit of work to be done - she was clearly a very interesting character, and I need to add something about her connections to Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick, to whom Cult of Chiffon was dedicated. I got so confused trying to disentangle all the conflicting leads and different clues and hints that I would appreciate it if fellow editors could check and see if it is clearly explained.
But I think she is a GREAT example of a Woman in Red, especially as someone who basically set out to tell the new century that it was Absolutely Fine And Not Remotely Immoral For Women To Like Fancy Underwear, and also say You Do Not Have To Be a Fashion Victim, You Just Have To Believe in Your Own Beautiful Taste And You'll Be Gorgeous and Chic.... Yeah. Been kind of a fan of Mrs P for a while, but I'm a bit worried about having to rely so much on ThePeerage for information (is it a reliable source? I checked and I see it is used for some nobility articles, so I think it's OK?). Thanks so much in advance for any help, editing suggestions and oversights you can offer! It is much, much appreciated - I'd like to nominate her for DYK if I can polish the page up a bit more. Mabalu ( talk) 20:33, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
I have just discovered that there are lots of incorrect links to the article about Jane Fletcher, full name Jane Ada Fletcher (1870-1956), an Australian ornithologist and author. There is a modern-day Jane Fletcher who writes lesbian speculative fiction. I changed the link to Jane Fletcher (writer) in one article, but then realised that every single link to the existing article is for the modern-day day woman, apart from the redirect from Jane Ada Fletcher. Is there any way someone can remove the redirect from Jane Ada Fletcher (including updating Wikidata obviously)? Or should I change the rest of the links? Oronsay ( talk) 21:32, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

This appears to be an April Fools joke, no real plan would be written in this style of techno-cryptic babble: "catalyzing convenorship", "gender-equitable pipelines", "paradigm of free knowledge", "positive and unified free knowledge policy agenda". I suggest that volunteers avoid wasting time attempting to read this management-speak nonsense, and hope it quietly dies buried under the pile of consultant invoices. As unpaid volunteers we have better ways of spending our time. -- Fæ ( talk) 12:11, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

There is currently a deletion review discussion on Dorothy Hague at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 March 21. A politician in Ontario, Canada in the 1950s and 1960s, she was one of the first women to be elected reeve in Ontario (The reeve was the head of the town council, the equivalent of the mayor in a city) and she and Marie Curtis were the first women on Metropolitan Toronto council and its executive. Please note, in deletion review endorse means keep deleted and overturn means undelete the article. 157.52.12.31 ( talk) 09:48, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
I noticed this article on the list. There isn't any discussion yet on the deletion page. It isn't clear to me if Rogers is sufficiently notable, but I think she at least deserves a little effort and investigation. She's had a fairly impressive career so far, although definitely not notable. However, she's a person of color and a lesbian, and in the last few years she's been speaking at Tech conferences on diversity. I think her work on diversity in Seattle, and her speaking might be notable in an different category. Before I spend anymore time on this, I'd like the opinion of some experienced editors.

Greetings,
Yesterday I located a list of Canadian women artist that need articles written. I randomly choose Joan Almond. One of the reasons think her page may have gotten onto the recommended list was her work being selected by National Gallery of Canada. Now I can not find my way back to that list of women. Can you help me with that? Also, yesterday I found a link template for creating a draft page for a photographer. Again, have lost my way. Can you help with that also. Since I've done a bit of researching and gathering references I would like to use the template to create a new article for her and the list of Canadian artist who need pages for future reference. Thanks!! LorriBrown ( talk) 23:13, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
I noticed a few minutes ago that the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Actresses - US page includes Ernest Butterworth Jr. (at number 143 as I write this note). Perhaps some erroneous coding put that name in the list, since both the name and the accompanying image indicate that Butterworth is, or was, a male. Eddie Blick ( talk) 02:02, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
