Lashauwn Beyond

I've nominated Lashauwn Beyond for GA status, if any project members are interested in reviewing or otherwise improving. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:50, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Averageuntitleduser: Any interest? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:06, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

I'd be happy to! Expect me there by Sunday. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 03:17, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@Averageuntitleduser Someone else has picked up the review, but thanks for offering! Another time :) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:31, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Indeed! And I can't complain, the more reviews the merrier. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 22:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

FAR for Emmy Noether

I have nominated Emmy Noether for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 20:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Working to create a Good Topic of women legislators...

at User:Ezlev/Women in the Hawaii Territorial Legislature. Lots of work to be done if anyone is interested! — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 21:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Do you know if there are any sources that cover the topic as a whole, or could otherwise be used for several of them? I've found that makes this sort of thing a lot easier. I see Peterson's Notable Women of Hawaii, but of course this topic is also a little more niche. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 18:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Rewards for Good Articles

Hi all, I've put up an offer on the Reward Board which may be of interest. Basically, I'll give the {{Systemic bias barnstar}} to anyone who gets an article listed in Women in the Australian House of Representatives or Women in the Australian Senate to GA status. Ping me if you complete one :) GraziePrego (talk) 04:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Sarah Bahbah

Hello all! I just found out about this WikiProject and came over here to see about contributing. I already submitted an article I wrote about a woman for GA review this month (and also submitted it for DYK) so I guess I was already kinda contributing without realizing, LOL. But anyway, I'm here because I spent a pretty good chunk of time last night improving the article for photographer Sarah Bahbah. (It came up as a suggestion for editing on my homepage, I worked on it until I felt the flag templates on it didn't apply anymore and removed them.) I don't think the article is really at GA level yet, and in particular I think a lot more could be added to the Career section, but I had already stayed up way later than I meant to working on it and I needed to go to bed hahaha. But yeah, just bringing it to the attention of the folks here in case anyone wants to pick up where I left off and expand the article more. Not a priority since she's not on the Hot 100. :) KRKwrites (talk) 17:42, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Welcome @KRKwrites! Glad you found us. :-) If you want to, you're welcome to add Abigail Larson to our 2024 Goal Tracking page (we're aiming to collectively nominate at least 75 articles for GA status this year). Let us know if you have any questions or need feedback on GA projects going forward -- we're happy to help. Alanna the Brave (talk) 01:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I forgot to take your suggestion and add the article to the Goal Tracking page beforehand, but I did manage get Abigail Larson to GA status :) Is there somewhere I should record that? KRKwrites (talk) 22:46, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

KRKwrites Doesn't matter if you list it before review as icon|GAR or after icon|GA. SusunW (talk) 05:39, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Scope of the project

Are any articles about women that become GA within the scope of the project? Are candidates for GA within the scope? Governor Sheng (talk) 19:32, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Governor Sheng! The Women in Green project scope covers all articles about women and women's works (e.g., books, films or artwork by women). We include candidates for GA under that scope as well, yes -- we're focused on the work of article improvement (every little bit helps), and once an article about women or women's works has been improved and formally nominated for GA status, the nominator is welcome to list the article under Goal #1 of our annual group goals page. Best, Alanna the Brave (talk) 01:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much! @Alanna the Brave: I have added Qutui Khatun to the WikiProject, however, I don't know to which event it should be connected to... Governor Sheng (talk) 12:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@Governor Sheng: if it's not connected to a specific event, you can tag it by year by adding a "date=2024" parameter to our project talk page tag. However, most Women in Green editors wait until the article has been nominated for GA before tagging it this way (if the review is ultimately unsuccessful, you can still leave the Women in Green tag on -- it just helps us track which articles within our scope have gone through the GA nomination process). Alanna the Brave (talk) 13:55, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. Governor Sheng (talk) 09:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Upcoming GAN Backlog Drive in March

There's an upcoming month-long drive to review GA nominations and reduce the backlog, and I've spotted a few Women in Green members who have signed up so far -- this would be a good opportunity to tackle some of the leftover 2023 GA nominations about women that Grnrchst has been tracking (see summer and autumn lists!). If anyone is thinking about giving reviewing a try for the first time but isn't sure where to start, you can check out the official reviewing instructions or ask for advice right here at WiG. Alanna the Brave (talk) 01:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

It's barely been a week and the summer list is almost done! --Grnrchst (talk) 15:21, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Summer list now down to only 2 entries, autumn list down to 25! --Grnrchst (talk) 14:29, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

The core contest returns

The core contest is back and ... since the 2021 reboot we've not improved a single biography of a woman during the contest and I was hoping somebody here would be willing to break the streak.

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—runs from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:51, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Wow, not one since 2021? This won't do. I have decided to improve our article on Voltairine de Cleyre, which I think could do with a lot of work. I hope others in this project will consider submitting something they've had their eye on! --Grnrchst (talk) 13:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Awesome choice, looking forward to what you contribute! Aza24 (talk) 06:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Next edit-a-thon?

Hey all, hope everyone's had a good start to their new year. I've been thinking lately about getting started with the coordination for our next edit-a-thon. Per our discussions some time last year, I figured it would be a good idea to do a "Back in time" theme this year, focusing on women throughout history in order to address our tendency towards recentism. Like the Around the World edit-a-thon, when we had a map showing pins in each country where we nominated or reviewed articles about women and women's works, I was thinking we could have a timeline template set up that shows our progress on articles throughout history.

Provisionally setting the date for June 2024, would anyone else here be interested in joining in and/or helping out with this? I'm more than happy to take the lead on this one, in order to give @Alanna the Brave a bit of a break, but I just wanted to gauge interest before setting up the page. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

This is a good idea. I wonder if there's a way to help people find articles for this. I imagine it's easier to find articles about women from a specific country than from a specific century. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

There's Category:Women by century to help find women from a particular century. Category:Ancient women, Category:Medieval women and Category:Renaissance women may also be of use. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 20:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Aside from the categories mentioned above, we also have listicales like the list of women's firsts, timeline of women in science, women in warfare, etc. --Grnrchst (talk) 10:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: Thanks for taking the lead! I appreciate it. :-) June sounds good -- I like the idea of a "Back in time" theme, and I'm happy to help out as needed. Alanna the Brave (talk) 16:54, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok, event page is now up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/6! Feel free to sign yourselves up. If anybody is up to take on 20-minute reviews this year, please feel free to add your name to that section. If anything needs adjusting on the page, or in the underlying documentation, please ping me and I'll see to it whenever I can. I'll start sending out invites for the event over the coming month, hopefully we can get a decent turnout. :) --Grnrchst (talk) 12:05, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: The page looks great! Would you like me to arrange for a new barnstar graphic for the event? I can also request a watchlist ad later in May, as with our last editathon (I think it worked well in attracting new participants). Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

@Alanna the Brave: Yes please! That would be very helpful. (I wasn't even aware watchlist ads were something we could request) --Grnrchst (talk) 08:03, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: Alrighty -- I'll tackle that, and will ping you when I make the requests. I just learned about watchlist ads last year, and I believe they only stay up for 1-2 weeks at a time, so we can do that shortly before the editathon starts. Let me know if you have any other questions about event promo, etc. Alanna the Brave (talk) 21:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

I would be very interested!! I have been thinking on improving Qiu Jin for some time and this would be a good opportunity to do so! The Blue Rider 12:25, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Really looking forward to this. As an aside, something I think I've mentioned before: the Hot 100 seems rather biased towards the modern/the American/the cultural. Perhaps some of the entries could be swapped with those on the "Future suggestions" list? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:20, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
