Notability

How does this subject pass WP:N? I'm not seeing a case for WP:GNG. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:30, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

I see multiple reliable sources, independent of the subject, that significantly cover the person in-depth. As such this clearly and resoundingly passes the notability test. So, I suggest you not become a very public example of the systemic biases on our site. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 22:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Seems notable to me, the references look sound. Victor Grigas (talk) 00:40, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

A truly monumental moment. RareButterflyDoors (talk) 03:21, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

The author of the article Rosiestep aka Rosie herself is an inspiration to every aspiring Wikipedians like me. She is the co-founder of Women in Red project which has become successful since its inception in 2015. Nice to see WIR was part of this historical significant achievement.

First n-millionth article by notable author?

Is this the first n-millionth article by someone who is the subject of a Wikipedia biography (Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight)? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:50, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

I don't know. I was there only for 5 millions, Casliber. - Nice coindidence: just a few days ago, I could remind Rosiestep of being the first recipient of Precious eight years ago. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:58, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I'd say so. Beate Eriksen was created by Lampman, El Hormiguero was created by Zzxc, Ezbet El Borg was created by Meno25, Jordanhill railway station was created by Nach0king, Persoonia terminalis was created by Casliber. While Casliber is Cas Liber, the rest are user names only. -- Zanimum (talk) 13:22, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

"linguist"?

I wonder whether the word linguist is quoted from century-old sources, and whether it really means what the word commonly means today... AnonMoos (talk) 23:08, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

@Rosiestep:, not sure if you know. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:58, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

• @AnonMoos and Zanimum, I don't know, so if you think the article should be re-worded, I'm all in favor of that. --Rosiestep (talk) 21:30, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

• @AnonMoos and Zanimum, here we have a 21st-c source which states that Lauder became a linguist: Dagg, Anne Innis (1 January 2006). The Feminine Gaze: A Canadian Compendium of Non-Fiction Women Authors and Their Books, 1836-1945. Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. pp. 160–. ISBN 978-0-88920-845-2. --Rosiestep (talk) 06:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

OK, but a century ago the word could sometimes mean just "good with languages" (as in she "was a fair linguist, joining a knowledge of Latin and Greek to that of several modern languages" in the article), while linguistics in the modern sense didn't really exist yet as an autonomous academic field (the Linguistic Society of America was founded in 1924, and very few people in North America had jobs with "linguist" or "linguistics" in the title until at least the mid-1930s...) -- AnonMoos (talk) 21:19, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
