The result of the move request was: no consensus. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History → Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's history – Lowercase "history" to match WP:WikiProject Women's sport (whose template has 132k transclusions), as well as WP:WikiProject Women artists (20k), WP:WikiProject Women scientists (24k), & WP:WikiProject Women writers (68k). ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 23:02, 6 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 02:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. queen of 🖤 (they/them; chat) 19:45, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. If there is a case to change this, then similar changes would probably be needed for WP Women in Red and WP Women's Health as well as more generally for U.S. Roads, Television Stations, Ice Hockey, etc., etc. Not sure whether it would all be worthwhile.--Ipigott (talk) 10:22, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- WP:WikiProject Women's Health → "health" for sure, if "history" passes, at least to make all the women WPs internally consistent, which they are very close to being. "History" & "Health" are outliers amongst the lowercase variants, and if the reverse were true, then RMs to make them all uppercase would be just as valid. Going full slippery-slope beyond women seems like an overreaction. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 15:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- As both WP Women in Red and WP Wiki Loves Women have been widely quoted in the international press as well as on Meta and in many other language versions of Wikipedia, I think it would be a major mistake to change them to WP:Women in red and WP Wiki loves women.--Ipigott (talk) 15:23, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm with Ipigott on this: "Women in Red" is more like a proper noun, a distinctive name, while "Women's history" is a plain description of a topic. PamD 16:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm with Ipigott too; I don't think WP:Women in Red & WP:Wiki Loves Women should be changed. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 17:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose as frivolous. This isn't even an arcane WP:MOS issue, it's even less than that. The only way this will affect anyone is by annoying them. -- asilvering (talk) 16:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. This is consistent with how most projects are named. To Ipigott,

Feedback Needed on Women's History List
I'd like to create a List for a WikiEdu archaeology course project. The list would be about women from Mediterranean/adjacent cultures known thanks to the archaeological record but who are otherwise lost to history because they were not described in ancient literary sources. There are already Wiki lists for 'distinguished Roman women' [read:elite], ancient prostitutes, etc., but no lists for these 'real' women. These women typically do not have Wikipedia articles/stubs. I had an editor look at the sandbox draft (which is still incomplete because my students have to add their entries) and was told "This does not seem to meet the criteria for WP:NLIST."
The (incomplete) draft is here with its first list entry as an example: User:EtruscanMayhem/sandbox. The other listed women (with empty entries) are the assigned student topics. The opening description saying: "The following list features women from the ancient Mediterranean and adjacent areas (e.g., Near East) who are attested archaeologically. Rather than focus on women mentioned in preserved literary texts passed down in the manuscript tradition, the list highlights women whose experiences have only survived thanks to the archaeological record. Their associated archaeological evidence reveals valuable data not just about the individual woman herself, but about women's history in that ancient region more generally. Such archaeological source material includes excavated inscriptions, tablets, papyri, artifacts, burials, monuments, archaeological contexts, and other such data."
It seems to me that these entries do indeed add to the work of the Women's History Project. Can you give some feedback on either a) how to make the list fit with criteria for WP:NLIST, or b) suggest whether these women should simply be given stub articles? Thanks. --EtruscanMayhem (talk) 20:45, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I have redrafted the List with consultation from WIkiEdu staff. EtruscanMayhem (talk) 21:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Assistance with Kathleen Hicks?
Hello, I am hoping to find an editor willing to review a change I've proposed for the article about Kathleen Hicks, current U.S. deputy secretary of defense. Her article is out-of-date and incomplete in a few ways, and I currently have an open request to update information about her board roles. I have a COI with her as a topic, since I'm working directly with her family. If anyone is willing to review the request and consider implementing it, I would be grateful. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 18:36, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Grnrchst (talk) 09:32, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Andromeda image deletion discussion
There is an image deletion discussion about the file "Clash of the Titans poster" in use at Andromeda (mythology). It demonstrates that the myth remains current, and that misinterpretation of the black princess of Aethiopia as a white woman is also continuing, a matter of misogynistic racism in the eyes of some of the cited scholars. Project members are invited to contribute their opinions to the discussion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:15, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Under the "Summary of legislation by jurisdiction" section for Right to sit in the United States, I have largely filled in the chart. However, some states are incomplete and lack information for when the laws were made gender-neutral or repealed. It can be difficult to search law codes, particularly if looking for repealed laws. Assistance from editors knowledgeable about US law codes would be appreciated. Thank you! Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 02:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, sorry to bother, I hope the entry about geji, a female performer in ancient China, can be added to one of the women's history sections.
。I'm really sorry, but I think the Geji group of female performers is also part of the history of women, so I hope it can be added to the label of women's history.This entry is not perfect now. I have been slowly improving it, but due to controversy, I cannot edit it now. The sexual issues of this group of female performers are being held up. Some people must define them as sex workers and must think that all of them are prostitution.For the specific situation and explanation, please read all I said in the discussion forum, if it is convenient.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:G%C4%93j%C3%AC I hope someone can have a discussion and define the identity of this group of female performers, rather than them continuing to be exported as they are now.I know this is presumptuous, but if anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it, thanks.Sorry to bother. 清风与明月 (talk) 16:31, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Grnrchst (talk) 14:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Historical pages without any links to women
I recently ran a script to find pages which had over 100 links to wikibios of men, and ZERO links to wikibios of women. These were the historical pages I found:
- Dutch East India Company (183 links to men, 0 to women)
- Edo period (176 links to men, 0 to women)
- Plautus (129 links to men, 0 to women)
- Sixteen Kingdoms (125 links to men, 0 to women)
- Austria-Hungary (110 links to men, 0 to women)
None of these are historical topics I know anything about. But there must surely be some relevant historical women to mention, or some relevant women historians to cite on these topics. I'd love the horrific link imbalance on these pages to be attenuated! Dsp13 (talk) 22:41, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
