I just restored this draft; she looks like she might be notable. Anyone want to tidy this one and get it into mainspace? Thanks, Calliopejen1 ( talk) 23:27, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
It is because so many editors and even admins, whether malicious in intent or not, apply their subjective interpretation as to what WP:GNG means or its purpose rather than treating it as literal. I have seen this application used a hundred times in the last month to deny articles and delete existing ones. Tsistunagiska ( talk) 15:33, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
I want to get this out there for everyone to see. I am controversial but not above apologizing when I am wrong. I can be polarizing but only because I feel that it's impossible to "ride the fence" any longer. I don't sugarcoat anything and I call it like I see it. That is abrasive to some and I understand that. I am comfortable in my own skin. The only place I give my opinion is on talk pages and in response to others comments or when I feel it's needed to spur movement in a direction. I am a warrior by nature even as I am a lover of peace. I am always ready to fight but it won't happen by perpetuating ignorance. We win by sticking together on topics that unite us and having thoughtful and meaningful discussion on those that divide us. But we, meaning those seeking to end the biased treatment of women, can not compromise on the core principles of why we are here. Every article matters. Any attempt to stifle women's topics or relegate women to obscurity must be met with a resounding response. Too many times we draw a line in the sand and when it is crossed we draw another line and when it is crossed we do it again and again until we find ourselves capitulating over and over. We must say there is a line that can not be crossed and when it is threatened we must respond resolutely with truth and facts with less feeling. So often the subjective opinions of others enters their reasons for a decision here on Wikipedia when there are things that are certain and the primary guideline is to be taken literal. I'm tired of giving in. Either we have the stomach to fight or we don't. Those are my thoughts, for what they are worth. Tsistunagiska ( talk) 19:11, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello Women in Red friends,
The time has come to put Strategy into work and everyone's invited to participate.
The Movement Strategy Design Group and Support Team are inviting you to organize virtual meetings with your community and colleagues before the end of October. The aim is for you to decide what ideas from the Movement Strategy recommendations respond to your needs and will have an impact in the movement. The recommendations are available in different formats and in many languages. There are 10 recommendations and close to 50 recommended changes and actions or initiatives. Not everything will be implemented. The aim of prioritization is to create an 18-month implementation plan to take some of the initiatives forward starting in 2021.
Regional and thematic platforms are great ways to prepare and share ideas. Prioritization is at the level of your community. Afterwards, we will come together in November to co-create the implementation plan. More information about November’s global events will be shared soon. For now and until the end of October, organize locally and share your priorities with us.
You can find guidance for the events, the simple reporting template, and other supporting materials here on Meta. You can share your results directly on Meta, by email, or by filling out this survey. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or comments, strategy2030wikimedia.org
We will be hosting office hours to answer any questions you might have, Thursday October 1 at 14.00 UTC ( Google Meet).

Hello all. Could someone help me with a couple authority control and Wikidata questions?
I recently created the article Pilar Pallarés by translating the page from the Spanish Wikipedia. I read on the Women Writers edit-a-thon page that authority control should be included at the foot of every biography. I did that, but nothing showed up. Fair enough, if she didn't have relevant identifiers in Wikidata... but she does. I tried manually specifying the information based on the instructions at Wikipedia:Authority_control, but got a "Warning: Page using Template:Authority control with "ISNI", please move this to Wikidata if possible (this message is shown only in preview)" message. I went to Wikidata for the first time, followed the tutorials (I am trying!), and added es Pilar Pallarés to the Wikipedia section. I searched the archive here but didn't find any responses that seemed to fit. I read Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Metrics/Wikidata but I have such an incomplete understanding of Wikidata that it's meaningless to me.
My questions are:
1) If I create a new English Wikipedia article, should I add it to the Wikipedia section on Wikidata? Did I do this correctly?
2) Why isn't the authority control box visible on the article page?
3) The full name of Pilar Pallarés, with Spanish naming customs, is Pilar Pallarés García. I created this as a redirect page. Should I put the authority control there instead? Wikipedia:Authority_control says "If necessary, create a new redirect to carry the template" which sounds like a yes. Her page on both the Spanish and Galician Wikipedias is Pilar Pallarés, and I was consistent with this on the English Wikipedia page, but also want to mention the possibility that I made the wrong call on this.
I appreciate your help. Enby ( talk) 02:31, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, almost a month ago I created the article for Ecuadorian writer Maria Fernanda Ampuero, but recently I noticed that it wasn't coming up in the google results, so I looked at the source code for the article and realized that it had a robots metatag set to nofollow,noindex. Does anyone know why is that? That metatag is what prevents it from showing in search results, and its something that no other article has. Is there a policy about that tag or something? Thanks a lot for your help.-- Freddy eduardo ( talk) 14:27, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

I did the GA review on Marian Anderson. Ahsoka Dillard was the nominator of both the GAC and DYK. Gerda Arendt approved the DYK nomination. A slip up by me is now causing a delay in the promotion of DYK Marian Anderson. I'm wondering if anyone here can help. At the GA review, I noted that two sites had copied the Wikipedia article verbatim, one with acknowledgement and one without. Unfortunately, I did not specify on the GA review what those sites were. My memory is that the WCSU site had very clearly attributed their bio blurb to Wikipedia, but now the attribution is no longer on their website. I do not recall what the other site was. My errors. The article passed DYK, but is now not being promoted because of that issue. Can anyone come up with evidence of what two sites copied Wikipedia, either by date or otherwise, and help at the DYK review. Any assistance there is appreciated. — Maile ( talk) 15:14, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
I write to raise what may or may not be an issue, but I suspect it is, hence I write... I have worked a little on the Donald Trump article, where a couple of months ago I introduced the section Donald_Trump#Comments_about_women. There was no mention of the issue before. The article itself is vastly too long, of course, so the section I introduced has been whittled back to its present form. I suspect a gender bias (though all in good faith!) has overly-minimized this and related issues on the Trump biography, and have raised the issue on the Talk page: Talk:Donald Trump#Underrepresenting Trump's "deal" with women? A gender bias?. I write to solicit an alternate gender view of the issue; perhaps post on that Talk page. (There are a few female editors who work on the article, but not many, that I can tell.) (We have "RfC"'s...I am wondering if there would not be a value for "RfGC"'s - Request for Gender Comment?) (Long ago I was to attend a major scientific conference. They posted the speaker's list. I looked at it, "that's interesting." Every woman at the conference, but none of the men, noticed that there were no female speakers; a revolt ensued. Gender bias...my awareness (about my lack of awareness) was raised.) Bdushaw ( talk) 16:27, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Not sure if anyone can do an assessment on this article but it might be worth looking at. I haven't done too much research but thought it might be worth a look as it's an article created recently and may feature a woman who passes WP:GNG. -- Tsistunagiska ( talk) 20:28, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
You have no proof of thisjust look at who claims the portrait of the subject as "own work". Then notice how she's wearing the same dress in the profile photo of her bio here: https://speakerhub.com/sites/default/files/user/profile_picture/2020/09/14/jodi-odonnell-ames.jpg. same resolution, same exifdata, also edited with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 9.3 (Macintosh).

{od} I am going to walk away from this now because I don't want to engage in this kind of rhetoric and attempts to discredit a woman who has done so much for ALS research including her assistance with families and children whose parents suffer from this gut-wrenching disease by bringing national and international awareness to it. We have written, edited and even fought for articles on women here in this program who have done as much or even less in their lifetime to this point. If you want the last word then so be it.

Hi all, if anyone has any advice about dealing with discrepancies in sources, that would be very helpful. I've done some editing on Marie Davenport and added a couple of sources. Another editor is also working on the article. I've summarised some discrepancies on the article's talk page. It relates to the circumstances around a reprimand by the International Olympic Committee. Could also do with thoughts about how to represent that incident as part of the subject's athletic career and trying to ensure the article is balanced, particularly from people more experienced than I am on sports articles. Thanks. Tacyarg ( talk) 07:34, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Always nice to see a small milestone. This year I created over 500 articles about women speed skaters. There was a gender gap, but has now been closed (same amount men/women — see Category:Speed skaters by nationality). Also, I mainly created articles from early speed skaters, digging into old books and old newspapers. From all the Dutch women at Wikipedia for instance are now >33,3% born prior to 1950 (and not finished — see for example Template:Kortebaan speed skaters (women)) and many more early speed skaters than the Dutch Wikipedia. I will continue creating articles about speed skaters. So hopefully next year the gender gap is the other way around with double the amount of women ;) SportsOlympic ( talk) 21:26, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Ipigott, Ah, I see! Primarily, other regional-based chapters and affiliations run education programs in their countries/languages. We do collaborate with them via the Wikipedia & Education User Group, and we've long collaborated with education leaders in dozens of other countries/regions, even before that user group existed. We'll certainly continue doing that work and sharing the resources we have (like the P&E Dashboard), but a lot of these groups are already doing innovative work with Wikipedia & Education (some were running education programs before we were!). Thanks so much for your support and kind words about the work we've been doing! Jami (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 16:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

I tried manually specifying the information based on the instructions at Wikipedia:Authority_control, but got a "Warning: Page using Template:Authority control with "ISNI", please move this to Wikidata if possible (this message is shown only in preview)" message. I went to Wikidata for the first time, followed the tutorials (I am trying!), and added es Pilar Pallarés to the Wikipedia section. I searched the archive here but didn't find any responses that seemed to fit. I read Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Metrics/Wikidata but I have such an incomplete understanding of Wikidata that it's meaningless to me.
My questions are:
1) If I create a new English Wikipedia article, should I add it to the Wikipedia section on Wikidata? Did I do this correctly?
2) Why isn't the authority control box visible on the article page?
3) The full name of Pilar Pallarés, with Spanish naming customs, is Pilar Pallarés García. I created this as a redirect page. Should I put the authority control there instead? Wikipedia:Authority_control says "If necessary, create a new redirect to carry the template" which sounds like a yes. Her page on both the Spanish and Galician Wikipedias is Pilar Pallarés, and I was consistent with this on the English Wikipedia page, but also want to mention the possibility that I made the wrong call on this.

Hi, almost a month ago I created the article for Ecuadorian writer Maria Fernanda Ampuero, but recently I noticed that it wasn't coming up in the google results, so I looked at the source code for the article and realized that it had a robots metatag set to nofollow,noindex. Does anyone know why is that? That metatag is what prevents it from showing in search results, and its something that no other article has. Is there a policy about that tag or something? Thanks a lot for your help.-- Freddy eduardo ( talk) 14:27, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

I did the GA review on Marian Anderson. Ahsoka Dillard was the nominator of both the GAC and DYK. Gerda Arendt approved the DYK nomination. A slip up by me is now causing a delay in the promotion of DYK Marian Anderson. I'm wondering if anyone here can help. At the GA review, I noted that two sites had copied the Wikipedia article verbatim, one with acknowledgement and one without. Unfortunately, I did not specify on the GA review what those sites were. My memory is that the WCSU site had very clearly attributed their bio blurb to Wikipedia, but now the attribution is no longer on their website. I do not recall what the other site was. My errors. The article passed DYK, but is now not being promoted because of that issue. Can anyone come up with evidence of what two sites copied Wikipedia, either by date or otherwise, and help at the DYK review. Any assistance there is appreciated. — Maile ( talk) 15:14, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
I write to raise what may or may not be an issue, but I suspect it is, hence I write... I have worked a little on the Donald Trump article, where a couple of months ago I introduced the section Donald_Trump#Comments_about_women. There was no mention of the issue before. The article itself is vastly too long, of course, so the section I introduced has been whittled back to its present form. I suspect a gender bias (though all in good faith!) has overly-minimized this and related issues on the Trump biography, and have raised the issue on the Talk page: Talk:Donald Trump#Underrepresenting Trump's "deal" with women? A gender bias?. I write to solicit an alternate gender view of the issue; perhaps post on that Talk page. (There are a few female editors who work on the article, but not many, that I can tell.) (We have "RfC"'s...I am wondering if there would not be a value for "RfGC"'s - Request for Gender Comment?) (Long ago I was to attend a major scientific conference. They posted the speaker's list. I looked at it, "that's interesting." Every woman at the conference, but none of the men, noticed that there were no female speakers; a revolt ensued. Gender bias...my awareness (about my lack of awareness) was raised.) Bdushaw ( talk) 16:27, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

I am searching for people helping with this article on Carmela Troncoso that has unfortunately been multiple times rejected due to my initial inexperience.

Not sure if anyone can do an assessment on this article but it might be worth looking at. I haven't done too much research but thought it might be worth a look as it's an article created recently and may feature a woman who passes WP:GNG. -- Tsistunagiska ( talk) 20:28, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
You have no proof of thisjust look at who claims the portrait of the subject as "own work". Then notice how she's wearing the same dress in the profile photo of her bio here: https://speakerhub.com/sites/default/files/user/profile_picture/2020/09/14/jodi-odonnell-ames.jpg. same resolution, same exifdata, also edited with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 9.3 (Macintosh).

{od} I am going to walk away from this now because I don't want to engage in this kind of rhetoric and attempts to discredit a woman who has done so much for ALS research including her assistance with families and children whose parents suffer from this gut-wrenching disease by bringing national and international awareness to it. We have written, edited and even fought for articles on women here in this program who have done as much or even less in their lifetime to this point. If you want the last word then so be it.

There are duplicate entries for the opera singer Fan Ruijuan on Wikidata.

Hi all, if anyone has any advice about dealing with discrepancies in sources, that would be very helpful. I've done some editing on Marie Davenport and added a couple of sources. Another editor is also working on the article. I've summarised some discrepancies on the article's talk page. It relates to the circumstances around a reprimand by the International Olympic Committee. Could also do with thoughts about how to represent that incident as part of the subject's athletic career and trying to ensure the article is balanced, particularly from people more experienced than I am on sports articles. Thanks. Tacyarg ( talk) 07:34, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Always nice to see a small milestone. This year I created over 500 articles about women speed skaters. There was a gender gap, but has now been closed (same amount men/women — see Category:Speed skaters by nationality). Also, I mainly created articles from early speed skaters, digging into old books and old newspapers. From all the Dutch women at Wikipedia for instance are now >33,3% born prior to 1950 (and not finished — see for example Template:Kortebaan speed skaters (women)) and many more early speed skaters than the Dutch Wikipedia. I will continue creating articles about speed skaters. So hopefully next year the gender gap is the other way around with double the amount of women ;) SportsOlympic ( talk) 21:26, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Ipigott, Ah, I see! Primarily, other regional-based chapters and affiliations run education programs in their countries/languages. We do collaborate with them via the Wikipedia & Education User Group, and we've long collaborated with education leaders in dozens of other countries/regions, even before that user group existed. We'll certainly continue doing that work and sharing the resources we have (like the P&E Dashboard), but a lot of these groups are already doing innovative work with Wikipedia & Education (some were running education programs before we were!). Thanks so much for your support and kind words about the work we've been doing! Jami (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 16:29, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
