Successful editathon

Thanks to Delphine Dallison, this seems to have been a successful exercise. Of the 12 women listed for new biographies, two have led to mainspace articles while seven are being developed as drafts. One of the new editors has created an additional biographical draft: Draft:Grissel Jaffray.

Several new participants have registered on Wikipedia and have carried out a fair amount of creative editing. These include @Kirsty McKeown, Marferg18, Mrs Matheson, Shona Skye, Herrings9, Susuisland, Valfellows, and AMcKenna-HLH:. RichardSSS who has been with us rather longer also participated. If any of these would like further assistance, they are welcome to contact me.

Unfortunately some of the work has been threatened with deletion: Alexandrina Matilda MacPhail, Draft:Grissel Jaffray and Draft:Ethel Bassin. Any assistance other editors could provide with these would be appreciated.

Finally, all editors interested in writing new biographies of women on Wikipedia are welcome to join Women in Red where we can offer general support and deal with any problems.--Ipigott (talk) 16:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
