DYK for Pamela Nadell

[edit]

On 1 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pamela Nadell, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American historian Pamela Nadell traced the origins of the first agitations for a female rabbi to a short story published in 1889? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pamela Nadell. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Pamela Nadell), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Opinion requested

[edit]

Hello, I was wondering if you could give your informed opinion on Heida Reed and its suitability for AfD? I think it fails WP:NACTOR since her only major role in a notable production was in Poldark (2015 TV series), not multiple major roles. She's dabbled in a lot of stuff, but hasn't been in the industry that long and the lack of importance of her roles and the productions themselves seems like it's hard to make the case she has made "prolific" contributions to the field of entertainment. Could you please tell me what you think about this? I would just like to avoid trouble at AfD with an ill-suited nom. Thank you for any help you can provide! Newshunter12 (talk) 18:22, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Newshunter12: Hi, thanks for asking! I have added a few sources to the article - a bit more info could be added too. I would say it's borderline as far as WP:NACTOR is concerned (I would probably say weak keep, on that SNG). She had a major role in 4 seasons of an extremely popular show, and she has had a significant role in two other shows : Jo (TV series), which only ran for one series, and the Icelandic miniseries Stella Blómkvist, in which she plays the main role. That doesn't yet have a Wikipedia article, but that doesn't mean it's not notable.
Apart from that, there are lengthy profiles of her in The Stage, Herald Scotland, Express and WOW Magazine, as well as two Icelandic publications, Stundin and Eftir Vinnu. They all include interviews, but are not just interviews - they have paragraphs of information about her and her roles (I've added some info about her family, where she lived and went to school, etc). So I think it could easily be argued that she meets WP:GNG. I don't know that everyone would agree, of course, but I think there's a pretty strong case, myself. (I haven't actually googled using the name "Heida Reed" yet, just "Heiða Rún Sigurðardóttir", so may find more.) Hope that's useful! Cheers, RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:13, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your insight and hard work on the article, RebeccaGreen! She seems more notable than I had believed at first, so I will not be nominating her article for deletion. A borderline case like this isn't worth everyone's time at AfD, with how likely a nom is to go sideways. I really appreciate your help and time spent on my request. It means a lot. Take care :) Newshunter12 (talk) 02:00, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Anna B. Eckstein

[edit]

On 13 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Anna B. Eckstein, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hello RebeccaGreen. Just wanted to check about this award. What am I missing in the OBE announcement for this person? https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/3294787 Thanks for your dilligence! Lightburst (talk) 12:00, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doh! I see it in the small print. MBE! Thanks! Lightburst (talk) 12:27, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Lightburst, You've seen it anyway, but here is the answer I was typing at the same time as you! If you look at Order_of_the_British_Empire#Current_classes, you'll see that there are five classes of that order. From highest to lowest they are: Knight Grand Cross or Dame Grand Cross (GBE); Knight Commander or Dame Commander (KBE or DBE); Commander (CBE); Officer (OBE); Member (MBE). In the Gazette listing for Fiona Hamilton-Fairley, it says
"the following promotions in, and appointments to, the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire:
M.B.E.
To be Ordinary Members of the Civil Division of the said Most Excellent Order:
Fiona HAMILTON-FAIRLEY"
In other words, she was appointed to the lowest class of the order. At AfDs, the consensus is usually that OBE and above meets WP:ANYBIO and gives the holder presumed notability, but CBE and MBE don't. So in this case, the MBE does not meet WP:ANYBIO, but coverage of her, I think, is enough to meet WP:GNG or at least WP:BASIC "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability". I haven't found enough reviews of her books yet to say that she might meet WP:NAUTHOR. Hope that helps, RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:31, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bold redirect without discussion after AfD The Kids' Cookery School

[edit]

The editors had no discussion about this. Perhaps undo and discuss? Another editor has questions as do I. Lightburst (talk) 23:19, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see the other interested editor voted in a different area. So we should go with your original merge. Thanks. Lightburst (talk) 03:03, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mea culpa

[edit]

Hello! I saw the AfD for Caroline_Ford_(medical_researcher) was closed as keep, and I wanted to drop by to apologize! I asked a question about some sources, you delivered, and then the AfD totally slipped my mind. I just wanted to say thanks for posting those excerpts and for your excellent work cleaning up the article! Sorry for being unresponsive. Sadly I've not been able to spend as much time on the site this week as I would like. I hope all is well! Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 21:14, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maheshwari

[edit]

Hi, it is a violation of WP:BLP to connect an individual to a caste or tribal group unless they have self-identified as a member of that group. There is some background on this at User:Sitush/Common#Castelists. - Sitush (talk) 17:44, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sitush, I was not aware of that. I see that you are aware of the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maheshwari. I would have voted Keep on the basis that it is used as a surname and place name as well, but unless there is more to be said about it as a caste, I don't know that I would vote keep when the information currently included could just as well be in a list of castes.
Do you then suggest starting another page for its use as a surname and in place names? As Pontificalibus said, there are many pages for names which are applied to people, places, etc. If there is a reason why its use as a surname should be kept completely separate from the page which explains that it is a caste, then I suggest that you create a page like French, which explains all the possible uses, and links to separate articles about each use. RebeccaGreen (talk) 17:55, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I removed your changes before noticing your reply here. There is nothing wrong with creating a separate disambiguation page but, as Pontificalibus has shown, there are plenty of sources for them as a community. Mixing details of people and castes in one article just causes problems, and similarly there is a history of placenames in caste articles causing problems. Sorry for the hasty revert but I really do not think turning that specific title into a dab page is right. - Sitush (talk) 18:01, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As you will see, I have so far just left a comment in the AfD. I would actually be inclined to vote to Merge it into Bania (caste), which is also a stub, and does not mention sub-castes at all, and I may still do that. I don't see the point of having lots of separate stubs which don't even link to each other. However, I know nothing about castes, or the history of articles about them in Wikipedia, so will not touch the article further. (PS - there is actually nothing in WP:BLP about caste, so it cannot be a violation of that policy.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 18:10, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for New Portuguese Letters

[edit]

On 22 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article New Portuguese Letters, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when the Three Marias published New Portuguese Letters as a direct challenge to Portuguese censors, they were arrested and the book was banned, leading to international protests? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/New Portuguese Letters. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, New Portuguese Letters), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

women in culture and politics

Thank you for quality articles about women and their work, such as Lorna Dixon, May Hollinworth and New Portuguese Letters, for rescueing articles "time and time again", for help with (hook) wording, all with a focus on collaboration, for quoting "We can!", - Rebecca, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Deletion procedures

[edit]

How can you say that a lack of sources is an invalid reason for deletion when an article can't be written unless there are sources? Articles come from sources. No sources, no articles. Explain it to me.
Vmavanti (talk) 16:31, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Refusing to discuss is against the rules. You have to be able to back your edits and your comments with reason. When editors have a bias against deletion, it's like fish having a bias against swimming.
Vmavanti (talk) 22:17, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Vmavanti, it's now 8 am where I live. You posted your earlier comment 6 hours ago, ie at approximately 2 am my time. Expecting others to answer immediately is not reasonable. I also do not appreciate your order to "Explain it to me", and prefer to give myself some time so that I can answer calmly. RebeccaGreen (talk) 22:34, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In the deletion discussion, you stated your reasons as though they were oh so obvious. It was so obvious to everyone that I was wrong. Everyone but me. That discussion closed without my having a chance to respond. We're supposed to discuss. We're supposed to take as long as it takes. So, yeah, being cheated by time goes both ways, doesn't it? I know how that is. You think my tone is bad? Well, I didn't care much for the dismissive attitudes in that so-called discussion. The bias against deletion makes no sense to me. The prickliness and hostility make no sense to me. Nor do I understand why it is difficult for people on Wikipedia to answer simple, direct questions and to speak in plain English. This is my chance to learn something and your chance to educate me. You shouldn't have to spend much time pondering if my reasons for being wrong were obvious. I know what I'm doing. That's why it doesn't take me long to respond. I'm asking what ought to be a simple question given the previous exchange over deletion, if you could call it an exchange. Why can't a paucity of sources be used as a reason for deletion? Take your your time. I was unaware of the time zone difference.
Vmavanti (talk) 22:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Vmavanti, I thought that you were referring to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Norbelis Lameda, but that deletion discussion is still open. Please could you tell me which discussion you're referring to? RebeccaGreen (talk) 23:27, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Just referring to an earlier point, I have added a note in my edit notice (that all users get when they try and message me), whose code reads : It's currently {{timeonly|GMT-UK}} where I live, and which displays -> "It's currently 20:47 [refresh] where I live". That might be a way of addressing the above complaint. Obviously you'll want to change GMT-UK to your appropriate timezone (the documentation in Template:timeonly should explain how) and reword. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:36, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Commenting in Oldest nominations needing DYK reviewers section

[edit]

RebeccaGreen, I wanted to thank you for all the great work you've been doing in reviewing DYK nominations and in improving nominated articles, especially all the older ones.

I do have a request, though: when you cross off reviews and add comments (the comments are strictly optional, and almost no one adds them), please do not include a date with your sig (use three tildes for the name rather than four for name and date). The archive software won't archive until the oldest comment in a section is over seven days old, so each dated comment delays the archiving by at least a week.

These sections have long been designed to need replacing every seven to ten days, if reviewers have been active (and they have been of late); I've just posted a new list of 37 of which only 10 carried over from the previous list.

If you should happen to use a full sig in future, I'll just do what I've done tonight: post the new list, and let someone do a manual archive of the old one over the next day or three. But it's better when the bot archives on its own.

Thanks again, and sorry to bother you like this. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:00, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BlueMoonset, thank you for letting me know! There are so many things to learn - I did not know that it was possible to sign with 3 tildes! As I am very new to DYK, I thought it would be useful to let others know who had crossed off items and why (some may need further reviews if the creators/nominators address issues), though I had noticed that others didn't sign. Thanks again! RebeccaGreen (talk) 06:08, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I remember when I was new at DYK and still learning new things even after months had passed. Three tildes is the user sig without the date, four tildes is the user sig with the date, and five tildes is the date without the user sig. Sometimes DYK noms appear and are struck on the old noms list three or more times waiting for review, reappearing either on a future list, or sometimes with the strikeout removed on the same list. A lot can change in a day or two at DYK, but sometimes they stay stagnant for far too long. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:25, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Help with my re-submitted draft, if you have time!

[edit]

Hello RebeccaGreen. A few weeks ago (mid-June of this year) I submitted my draft article on American author Grace Dane Mazur for re-review, after revising it and expanding its sources. I noticed that you recently interacted with the draft page in some way - my Wikipedia skills are unfortunately too limited for me to discern what exactly this entailed - so I thought that perhaps you are interested in the article's topic and would be willing to offer me some advice. Is there anything that I can do to get my article re-reviewed, or any changes that I need to make to ensure that it represents a high-quality submission? For the past few months I've been checking, each time I finish reading a book, to see if its author has a Wikipedia page, and Mazur is the first author I've checked who does not have one. This surprised me, since she's a fairly prominent writer, but I took it as an opportunity to try to get my first Wikipedia article. Here is a link to my re-submitted article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Grace_Dane_Mazur Thank you for your time! Solared (talk) 11:10, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi RebeecaGreen - thanks for your feedback!

When I first submitting Joan Livingstone for review, I wrote just a few sentences and did not provide enough references. I am hopeful that there are enough references now that it may be accepted after a re-review.

I am sure that I can find publications by others about Livingstone (I have access to the American Craft Council and The Textile Center of MN libraries, both amazing). I may not be able to make it to those places very soon. I would be happy also to coordinate looking up other things for Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Drafts in addition to Livingstone! --Hmacke (talk) 18:39, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Laura Myntti

[edit]

I am a new editor and tried my hand at fixing up Laura Myntti's article as I am interested in modern art. I followed the guideleines carefully and did my best to remove promotional content that was in the article. I used Laura's LinkedIn to get sources but some were obviously not correct. I didn't expect the torrent of criticism, especially from ThatMontrealIP. I noticed that you were more sympathetic to her cause and have made changes to the article. From what I have investigated she is notable and worthy of an article without any warning notes. I have researched that Alexa B. Kim is the current Program Manager at Self Help Graphics & Art. Alexa has assisted in the development and coordination of the ever growing volunteer program that is integral to the success of the many of Self Help's cultural programs. Are you able to comment further on the Deletes page?

Bzcons44 (talk) 01:40, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rebecca

I note that the Laura Myntti article has escaped deletion but still waits editing in order to remove the warnings associated with the article. This was my first attempt at creating an article and chose Laura Myntti due my interest in modern art. I just thought that she deserved an article as she has had quite a few works on show. It just seems to me that another women artist is being bypassed. As a senior editor would you like to work on this article to meet the criteria expressed in the warnings? I have no personal connection with Laura even though this is implied - I am purely interested in furthering my editing experience and I enjoy modern art.

Hi, RebeccaGreen! This is just to show my appreciation for your amazing work with reviewing the DYK nomination of Toki Pona. I haven't had time to thank you as the nomination has already been closed and one of the hooks has been moved to Prep area. Thus, thank you for the thorough review with many constructive comments and edits. My admiration goes to you also for your tireless contributions to other articles!

Page move for disambiguation of ICC Men's T20 World Cup

[edit]

Hi, I would like to bring to your attention that, a page move is requested by me to rename 2020 ICC T20 World Cup to 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup as later is the official name by ICC and also the logo of the tournament specifically display the later name which is also used in the article, secondly, both the tournament is going to take place at the same country and also same year and also the ICC Women's T20 World Cup will be before men's tournament. Thirdly, to bring disambiguity to the name of both tournament. And also the parent page ICC T20 World Cup consistency. I would like to have your insight and comment at the move discussion, if only you like to. Thank you. Dey subrata (talk) 21:48, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dey subrata, I am not sure why you have asked for my input, as I don't know anything about the T20 World Cups? RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:49, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I found that you are a member of WP:FEMINISM and found that you are very active editor. Anyway, its not about knowing T20 World Cup or not. Its about sex specific article name. As mentioned above the official name of tournament by ICC was announced to be renamed in a gender disambiguation, for Male ICC Men's T20 World Cup and for Female, ICC Women's T20 World Cup, this been changed from this year to bring clarity and removing sexism from cricket. Argued before as WP:COMMONNAME but the thing about this is, the previous name of the tournament was totally changed, previously named as ICC World Twenty20. So when the article is renamed why only ICC T20 World Cup is used instead of ICC Men's T20 World Cup, so WP:COMMONNAME logic can't be applied to ICC Men's T20 World Cup if its not logical for ICC T20 World Cup since previous name was ICC World Twenty20. There are many other reason added in discussion, you can have a look, if you are interested. That why said "if only you like to add comments". Anyway thank you, ciao. Dey subrata (talk) 13:07, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for explaining. I'll think about it :-) RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:17, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Have you thought about running for admin? We could use more admin help at DYK. --valereee (talk) 12:31, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi valereee, thanks for the thought! Ritchie also asked me just recently. I can certainly see the need for admin help at DYK, but I don't want to run at present, for various reasons: it's a horribly gruelling process, I feel there is still lots about Wikipedia for me to learn about (learn that some features/processes/policies etc exist, let alone how they work), and there is a lot of content I want to create - I don't see myself having time for more than I am doing at present. Perhaps, sometime! Good on you for taking it on, I admire you for it! RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:37, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Leave it to Ritchie to scoop me! I will say it wasn't grueling for me -- FAR more scary in prospect than in reality -- and I think it's become much less so in general over the past couple of years. I also suspect the fact I wanted to work in a place that really needs help but isn't inherently contentious was a big plus. And with your content creation and temperament, I think not knowing everything about WP isn't a problem. People aren't concerned that you don't know everything; they're concerned when you don't know what you don't know and are likely to just plow ahead anyway. I get it about content creation, that's mostly what I want to do, too, but if we could even get ten admins who were willing to do a prep > queue move about once a week and make the occasional main page correction to DYK, we'd be in good shape and no one would be overworked. Right now we only have five or six admins who do moves and make corrections, which means when even one of them is busy or travelling, we're up against it. Doing one per week is about as much time as I want to spend, but right now I feel like I need to try to do two per week when I'm not busy or travelling. Admin work doesn't have to be an admin's main focus. You can look at my admin stats and recent creations and see that I'm not doing much admin work other than what you see at DYK and am still focussing on content creation often. So far no one is complaining about that. :) --valereee (talk) 13:06, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that perspective. Maybe next year! Now is not a great time for other reasons, too. Cheers, RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:16, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nabaneeta Dev Sen

[edit]

Regarding this edit, I agree that the post-mortem source might be a case of WP:CIRCULAR despite it being from a reliable news agency, Indian Express. And instead of undoing you could have restored the previous version with that specific edit summary since my edit was just a good faith cosmetic change. I'd have been notified regardless since the article is on my watchlist. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:45, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fylindfotberserk, I'm sorry, it was not a necessary edit on my part, and I'm sure that a lot of other editors would agree with you. I probably would remember my query anyway, and could easily check those two sources to refresh my memory. I'm unsure what you mean about restoring instead of undoing, though - perhaps I'm being a bit dim tonight. Do you mean just doing a normal edit, cutting and pasting the reference, rather than using the Undo function? I realise I will have to learn and think more about ways of undoing changes, and when it's appropriate, so thank you for mentioning it here. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:29, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, I meant a normal edit. Anyway, nice talking to you. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:34, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I don't know why it didn't occur to me to do that at the time. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:38, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Description of opera roles

[edit]

Thank you for improvements to Göring. I'm not sure about how far we should go in descriptions of roles in singers' articles. I'd think people familiar with the works know, and others could look up the opera. The Ring is among the best-known stage works there is, - would we tell readers that Wotan (Odin) is a god? And what does it really help in the bio of a singer? - Just musing, I won't revert. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, thanks for your comments. I just thought, as Yoninah had, that including words like 'goddess' and 'valkyrie' in the hook might intrigue readers who don't know anything about the Ring. Maybe not, but in the article at least, they are short additions, so hopefully don't intrude too much for those who do know! RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:41, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I like them in the hook better than in the article, but understand that DYK requires the same content in the article. I dislike saying "the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven", "the English playwright William Shakespeare", but that may be just me ;) - See my talk today, celebrating. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:30, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RebeccaGreen. I think this is the right place to do this (it's the first time I've tried to do this): I wanted to say thank you very much for all the work you put into expanding the Monica Allanach article.

Hi Smokingduck, yes, this is the right place - and thank you very much! Thanks also for starting the article. It was a pleasure to learn about this woman and help document her achievements. I hope that enough other editors will think, like me, that she meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. RebeccaGreen (talk) 06:05, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rebecca! Question: On the Anoosha Syed help you gave me, are you saying that I SHOULD add author names, etc. to references or did you already do so? Thanks so much, --Caterpillar84 (talk) 16:16, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Caterpillar84, my edit summary meant that I have added author names, dates, etc, to the references I edited. I don't know why I wrote 'add' rather than 'added', sorry - 'added' would have been much clearer!
I am happy to go through more of the references, but it is fairly easy to do, if you'd like to do it yourself. If you click on Cite in the toolbar when you are editing, you can choose a template (web, news, journal, book), and a window pops up with fields to fill in for the author's last name, first name, the title of the book or article, the work it appeared in if it was an article, etc. Then it lays it out and formats it appropriately for each field in the reference.
I find it easier to see whether references are independent of the subject of the article if the author and title of the source, and the work it appeared in (eg newspaper, TV channel) are clearly stated. Sources which are the subject's own website, or their publisher's, are not independent. They can be used to verify information, but don't help in establishing a subject's notability.
I hope that helps! Cheers, RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:28, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ian Wooldridge

[edit]

I have changed the link to Ian Wooldridge that you created in Paul Birchard, as you didn’t intend the sports journalist.

The theatre director does merit an article, and I have created a first embryonic draft in User:Jim Craigie/Ian Wooldridge (director) which I’d be delighted if you would like to add to. My strategy is to create new articles in user space away from the Wikipedia deletion zealots until they are sufficiently complete, but I’m very happy for constructive contributions to any of my drafts.

Recently I have been renovating the article on Ron Donachie and cannot find dates or references for many of his theatre performances. If you can help with any of these I’d be grateful.

Jim Craigie (talk) 14:57, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Jim Craigie, thanks for making that correction. I'm sorry that I won't be able to contribute to the article about Ian Wooldridge at present, as I am studying this year and don't have time to work in Wikipedia. I can check back when I have time and see how you're going with the articles. Cheers, RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:55, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I was about to nominate Helen Marlais for deletion when I saw that you contested a PROD of it back in 2019, stating I see reviews of the books she has edited and CDs she has recorded, in the journals Clavier Companion, AmericanMusicTeacher, American Record Guide and Fanfare: The Magazine for Serious Record Collectors. It may be worth considering whether she meets either WP:NARTIST or WP:NAUTHOR when I have added the works and the reviews of them to the article. These reviews didn't end up being added to the article in the end, and I can't find any of them online. Would you still like to add these or otherwise try to improve the article?

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

[edit]
Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
