Deletion of List of female basketball players?!
editHi There. I noticed that you made an effort to improve the List of female basketball players back in Nov. and thought you might want to know that someone has placed an "Article for deletion" tag on it. I have just added the Hang-on tag and will post my reasons. You're welcome to join the discussion. Deebki 12:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for being fair at the teach-for-america article
editI am thankful you didn't just delete everything or wipe out my entire edit (undone E359107s edit by a ip-vandal). I didn't hear it went to trial though? Are you sure that the source is accurate? I don't have any news subscriptions, but apparently I heard this story wrong. The media made a mistake because I was so distraught over this story back when it happened, I watched the news daily to hear developments.
Thanks, plus I'm a LGBT supporter too!
Happy holidays,

Thanks re Lieberman
editI don't know why I couldn't find that ref, but I'm happy you did. And nice cleanup of several items on that page. --SPhilbrickT 11:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC) By the way, I assume there's an interesting story to tell - Nancy drops out of school in 1980, then returns to complete her degree in 2000, but I haven't found any discussion of it. If you have any sources telling the story, it would be a nice addition to answer an obvious question.--SPhilbrickT 12:36, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Freddie Prinze edit
editIn regards to your edit to the Freddie Prinze bio here and the edit summary you used "If she changed her name in 2007, she shouldn't be referred to by the old name for a 2009 event" it is Wikipedia policy[3] to refer to the name someone is commonly known by rather than the technically correct name
Common usage in reliable sources is preferred to technically correct but rarer forms, whether the official name, the scientific name, the birth name, the original name or the trademarked name.
Professionally[4] she is still known as Gellar and is referred to as such in news articles etc which is why Gellar is still used in articles . Garda40 (talk) 01:10, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- do not intend to pursue the edit further
- Nothing to pursue anyway since I haven't touched your edit and the wording is as you left it .Garda40 (talk) 18:22, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, increasing women's participation in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us!

Wiki Loves Pride 2014
editHi Decafdyke. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:10, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride!
- What? Wiki Loves Pride, a campaign to document and photograph LGBT culture and history, including pride events
- When? June 2015
- How can you help?
- 1.) Create or improve LGBT-related articles and showcase the results of your work here
- 2.) Upload photographs or other media related to LGBT culture and history, including pride events, and add images to relevant Wikipedia articles; feel free to create a subpage with a gallery of your images (see examples from last year)
- 3.) Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)
Or, view or update the current list of Tasks. This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. Visit the group's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook.

This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome!
If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's main talk page.
Thanks, and happy editing!

Invitation to the African Destubathon
editHi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO? |
According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome. |
New initiatives have been created for:
While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page. |
Thank you for your continued contributions to articles related to women's football / soccer (WOSO)! |

Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}
Want some tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? |
