Hi there, Pollockc, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have another instructor in the project. I hope you will also be able to create articles about women yourself. You'll find some useful guidance in our essays, perhaps starting with the Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:23, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
    We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
    Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
    If you are shy about editing that page, you are welcome to add ideas and comments on the talk page.
