Women in Red
editHi there, Science! Glad to see you've become a member of WiR. From the improvements you've made to a number of women's biographies, it looks as if you'll be a useful contributor. Perhaps you'll soon be creating new biographies yourself. If you need any help or run into any problems, let me know or include a message on the WiR talk page. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:15, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study
editHello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.
Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 20:22, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Ann O'Dea
editHello Eolaíocht,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ann O'Dea for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Churches in Dublin
editHiya. Unless Category:Churches in Dublin (city) has been identified as a non-diffusing subcategory (and I don't know why it would be) it would seem unnecessary for, for example, the city's COI churches to be a member of Category:Churches in Dublin (city), and Category:Protestant churches in Dublin (city) and Category:Church of Ireland churches in Dublin (city). Given that each follows the expectations of a diffused category structure. Placing them in each and every category feels like over-categorisation to me. Are you aware of some reason or rationale for placing them in each member of the diffused category "tree"? (In many cases, in a way which undoes the categorisation efforts of other editors over the years [1][2]). ?? Guliolopez (talk) 16:37, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Guliolopez. Thanks for your message. Category:Churches in Ireland was tagged as needing work in Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland, and when you select some of the subcategories, they are very poorly populated. I'm not trying to over-categorise things, I just thought that it is strange that only a few churches appear in the http://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Category:Churches_in_Dublin_(city) category? Eolaíocht (talk) 19:06, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hiya.
- RE: "Category:Churches in Ireland was tagged as needing work in Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland". I must've missed that discussion or clean-up request in WP:IE. Where/when was the tag added? (There is a standing suggestion, in WP:IE, that project members "find articles of interest to edit or improve" in that category. But not, that I am aware of, a request to reorganise the category or sub-categories themselves).
- RE: "strange that only a few churches appear in the [Churches in Dublin (city)] category". Per WP:DIFFUSE, it is not especially strange that a high-level category (or metacategory) would not be heavily populated. As, by convention and by design, the members of such categories are typically intended to be covered in the available sub-categories. (For example, the categories for Irish people and Irish churches are not heavily populated. One might imagine that there should be hundreds/thousands of members in both. But, of course, this would make them unmanagable. And therefore largely useless. And so the intention would be that these categories would be diffused into more granular/relevant sub-cats). As noted above, this is why other editors have previously worked to diffuse the "Churches in Dublin" category. Something which I'm not seeing any convention or consensus to now undo. (Unless, as you note, I have missed a WikiProject discussion about....)
- Cheers. Guliolopez (talk) 22:21, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
Event coordinator granted
editAfter reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have temporarily enabled the flag on your account until 2019-10-25. Keep in mind these things:
- The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
- The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
- The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
- Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! stwalkerster (talk) 07:20, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started
editHello, Eolaíocht
Thank you for creating Iseult Lynch.
User:Blythwood, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Looks solid. General cleanup that's normal for an academic's article: I've linked to an existing Wikidata item for her and added a link to her website at the bottom as well as on the side, and her Twitter page (very often this is what people will want to go to next to see her activity, so well worth having). I've added categories (the living people category is particularly important-these articles need extra scrutiny as they're particularly likely targets for vandalism), an authority control link (that links to her work on catalogues of papers) and a default sort link (indexes in categories by surname). And put a tag on the talk page. Hope that all makes sense!
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Blythwood}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
editWomen 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! |
