Draft talk:Women in Global Environmental Change

Improving this draft

Hi, @Dianaliverman: -- I spoke with you on IRC earlier today. I'm really glad you're working on this issue and would like to do what I can to get this article into Wikipedia. I think it's going to take some work -- not because you haven't done a lot of work already, but just because the articles it's modeled after (Women in engineering, etc) are outliers among Wikipedia articles to some degree, and it's going to need some care to make it stand on its own. But I think it can and should be done, so I'd like to help if you're willing to be patient with the process a little longer. —Tim Pierce (talk) 14:32, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Heh -- I'm in Massachusetts, so it's not that bad. (Timestamps on comment signatures are generally given in UTC regardless of where the user actually lives.) :-) —Tim Pierce (talk) 14:38, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

@Tim Pierce: One of the wiki people told me that women in global environmental change is not a proper field so I have redone the page as Women in Climate Change. That has already been turned down as too opinionated! It seems as though any effort to discuss women is considered opinion. The page follows all the advice I have received from Wiki editors for the last TWO months with extensive citation and so on. Please help! I am at my wits end and so disappointed.

Ah I see that it looks like Women in Climate Change has been posted but with some requests to improve it. At least it wasn't rejected. So now what I would like to do is delete the page on women in global environmental change and then just do a page that redirects from women in global environmental change to women in climate change. Would that work? I am still worried that the editors seem to think the women in climate change article is opinion. I have read it over and over and everything has a citation to published literature. I don't know how to fix it.

Thank You. Diana LivermanDianaliverman (talk) 05:39, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

I see that the Women in climate change article is live now. I'm glad to see it. I'm going to follow up with some comments on the talk page over there. Thanks for sticking through this whole crazy process. —Tim Pierce (talk) 01:52, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
