Your women's biographies

edit

Hi there, Apae02, and thank you for contributing 15 biographies of women over the past two or three weeks, most of them rated C class. It looks to me as if you would be a useful member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to chip away at the gender gap. If you are interested, you can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. In any case, we look forward to many more women's biographies. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:13, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Gisele Thompson

edit

On 24 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gisele Thompson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that sisters Alyssa and Gisele Thompson are the first high school students to sign a name, image, and likeness deal with Nike? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gisele Thompson. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Gisele Thompson), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Hey Apae02! Thanks so much for contributing to Wikipedia. I am so jealous you're interning at the Smithsonian Institution! I believe they had a Wikipedia internship program but as a non-US citizen, I was ineligible. I came across one of your edits on Erika Franklin Fowler and just wanted to inform you of a couple Wikipedia formatting "rules". Per Wikipedia:External links, external links should typically not be placed in the body of articles. This is why I removed your external links from the article. Likewise, per WP:LEAD, As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate, although it is common for citations to appear in the body and not the lead. This is why I removed the reference you added there as well. I don't want this to discourage you at all, just wanted to help you a bit! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:16, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
