Women in Red 8th Anniversary

  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!

Tiny stub creation

While there's no explicit policy against this, I'd appreciate if you didn't create one-sentence stubs for the legislators elected in the 1964 Illinois House of Representatives election. Keeping them as redlinks, indicating an article needs to be written, is more useful than bluelinking them with basically no information (stubs you've created like LaSalle J. DeMichaels don't even mention which years they served for, what district(s) they represented, where they are from, or when they died). Creating all the articles now also makes it a bit harder to potentially get them on DYK, as an editor would need to make sure they are doing a 5X expansion (admittedly not too hard to do to a one-sentence stub, but still another potential barrier).

I do appreciate your efforts overall to improve the state of our political coverage, especially regarding state legislatures, which we often neglect. Just would rather have these articles be created with a few more details and sources, even if that takes longer. Elli (talk | contribs) 15:48, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
