Things to take a look at and take care of edit
- Nanobright (talk) 23:16, 13 May 2019 (UTC) Hi @Victuallers: and @Hellknowz:, Would it be possible to highlight good article nominee Adriana Briscoe on front page of Women in Red project, GAN Article Alert section? I have just finished expanding her article from start to GAN (assessment via ORES script quality assessment). thanks! alexandra

Women in Red edit
Hi there, Nanobright, and welcome to Women in Red. If you want to gain experience in editing, I recommend you embark on the Wikipedia Adventure. It will guide you through in easy steps. Once you feel ready to create biographies, you should look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:24, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Nanobright (talk) 01:46, 28 March 2019 (UTC) following the feedback from the WikiEdu class, I've updated the articles I've been working on w/the ORES predicted rating. one of the articles has a G.A. predicted rating...how do I go about that within the project?
- I've just noticed this message today as you appear to have re-registered. In future, if you want someone to respond, you should ping them, for instance by including
{{u|username}}in your message. Unfortunately, ORES tends to be over-optimistic on rating articles GA or FA. In most cases, in the English version of Wikipedia, a rating of B would be more appropriate. ORES is usually pretty reliable for Start, C and B. I'm really happy to see how many new biographies you have been creating. You'll see I've made a few additions on authority control, defaultsort and categories. If you use a WIR template on the talk page, you should add your article to the appropriate WIR list. I've included the recent ones on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/108. As for GA, there is a formal process of review. You can find further information on Wikipedia:Good articles. We also have a wikiproject Women in Green which is specifically devoted to promoting articles to GA status. A recent GA success was Aletta Jacobs. You can find a record of the review on the article's source page. If you are interested in promoting any particular article to GA, it may be useful to let us know beforehand as we may be able to help you along. ((You should also sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes~~~~.)--Ipigott (talk) 10:07, 14 May 2019 (UTC)- @Ipigott: thank you for getting back to me! I have a couple more weeks left of my WikiEdu scientists and scholars class but once that's wrapped up and I am no longer using the WikiEdu dashboard I'm looking forward to be involved more with the project and will use the WiR project template for new articles. Leaving the class I'm considering working mostly on upgrading existing articles and it's great to see that the women in green project exists + I've added myself to that list. As you mention, it doesn't appear that the good article status is always evaluated correctly by ORES. But either way I think it'll be a benefit to improve some of the articles I've stumbled across so far. By the way, I've seen the category + authority notifications come up but I'm not 100% sure what they mean. To double check...when that happens there is no action I should be taking correct? thanks again! Nanobright (talk) 16:57, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Glad to hear you will be continuing to edit after you complete your course. I would recommend you add authority control to all your biographies as it automatically provides information on the name and publications related to the person in question from any available library based sources. You will see it has already worked for Sandra J. Rosenthal and Laura Eisenstein. As information on the others is updated, it will sooner or later no doubt also work for them. As for the categories, they serve many useful purposes. Many users search for people in a given profession by country, university, time period, etc., while it is often interesting to know how well women are represented in a given field. Just click on some of the categories and you'll get a better feel of the kind of information they provide. If possible, you should try to add categories on the years of birth and death, living person (if applicable) and the main occupation.--Ipigott (talk) 06:58, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Ipigott: sounds great, thank you! I've added the authority control to my quick list of templates I use when working on articles. I had not realized we should add the DOB for living persons (I was actually removing it under privacy concerns...oops!). my new articles have been added to the WIR redlist manually...a bit clunky but hopefully that's resolved for the time being. by the way, in case my edits are popping up on your watchlist, my plan for the rest of the course is improving Lily Jan and Eve Marder and wrapping up my new article on Sandra J. Rosenthal. after that thinking about basing article improvements off of bios in the Women in Science Timeline but still deciding + happy to help wherever needed in the project. To explain, so far I've tried to only work on biographies somehow related to my area of research since that's where it feels like I can help out the most and has just generally felt more natural for the writing aspects.

If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Espresso Addict -- Espresso Addict (talk) 05:02, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Nanobright -- I'm sorry this didn't meet the standards. I notice that you've queried a previous GA review at Women in Red (whose talk page I watch). Do ask me if there's anything that's unclear in my comments (either ping me or drop a note on my talk page). As I wrote in the review (before I read your comment on deletion!) there's no worry about notability for Briscoe.
- More generally, I've found it's very hard to write articles on most living scientists of either gender. The sources are usually absent, primary, written by journalists who don't understand the science, or who are pushing some form of point of view! These days I nearly always stick to the deceased or retired in my own article creations. I note I don't always follow my own advice, either, particularly on the number of publications to include (the 4 or 5 number is widely given advice). I should go through all my old bios and improve them! Happy editing! Espresso Addict (talk) 05:56, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Espresso Addict, Thanks for taking the time for such a detailed review. As I think I might have mentioned on WiR, I have less time allocated to editing now that my WikiEdu class is complete and my future wikipedia involvement is more geared towards science outreach (e.g. organizing an edit-a-thon). But I'll see how I can fit in working on these more urgent points. I actually worked on this bio on the request of someone organizing a different edit-a-thon w/Dr. Briscoe during my class so at this point the article is already on it's second or third iteration.
- In any event, as I'm learning more about wikipedia, I do agree with you + others that working on biographies of living persons is fairly challenging esp where sourcing for GAN concerned. What I'm struggling the most w/in that dept is that working on a notable BLP is a more reasonable activity for a day or several-hour long edit-a-thon. It also has the greatest potential to make a positive difference for the scientist alongside other researchers in the field who may be in search of role-models. Anyways, it's been helpful to have these two different GAN review experiences to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes so thank you! Nanobright (talk) 15:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi there. Glad you're not mortally offended :) The learning curve on Wikipedia is steep indeed these days compared with the early days when I made my first edits. ([1] was my first living scientist!! But that was long before the BLP policy was invented.) Wholly agree that a diversity of (notable) scientists on the 'pedia is critical to provide role models for children growing up now, and thanks for all your work on this front. I usually find starting with the sources is the best plan. If you can find 2 or 3 reliable independent sources on the person, then you have a great starting point and no-one is going to (successfully) delete your hard work. The recently deceased make good targets, but the sterling efforts of WiR mean that the female scientists mostly get created very quickly. (I try to hoover up some of the male ones.) Best of luck with the editathon!
- By the way, your ping didn't go through; I find pings tricky, but I think you need to use {{}}? Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 23:56, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

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! |
