March 9
editLooking for information
editI was looking for information on en WP admins who edited i.e. contributed to Non-biography Women's rights related WP articles. (Preferably between February and March of any year). Bookku (talk) 10:43, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- I suggest you try asking at the Wikipedia:Help desk. Shantavira|feed me 11:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Why admins specifically, if I may ask? As far as editing content is concerned, our admins have precisely the same rights and obligations as non-admin editors. And what time spans? March follows February immediately, so there is no "between February and March" in the most usual sense of between, to wit a separating interval. --Lambiam 14:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Understanding kind of participation or engagement WP community leadership has on International Women's Day or weeks around the same.
- But again some one can rightfully say contributions can come at any time of the year. So I tried to keep the question broader. Suggestions on rephrasing of the question too are welcome. Bookku (talk) 02:41, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Feminism and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History might be better places to ask. Alansplodge (talk) 09:51, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- As Lambiam says, it's wrong to ask this question specifically about administrators. Administrators are not "leaders" of the WP community, and the fact that they may edit certain articles has nothing to do with their status as administrators. --Viennese Waltz 10:01, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Concur with both Lambiam and VW: Adminship is WP:NOBIGDEAL and admins are not explicitly "leaders of the community" any more than other experienced editors. I know many editors with much better article editing experience than myself who are not admins. --Jayron32 11:50, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm thinking of creating a {{topicon}}, "Revered Leader of the Community". MinorProphet (talk) 14:28, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hmm! I think I can understand the difficulties. Bookku (talk) 15:40, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
