Lorraine Twohill

Hello! On behalf of Google, I have submitted a few COI edit requests for the Lorraine Twohill article, which are posted on the article's Talk page. The first is to add a Publications section and the others propose additions to the Career section (2003 to 2009, 2010 to present). The proposed changes have been in the COI edit request queue for a couple months now, but have not been reviewed. Are any WikiProject Women participants interested in taking a look? Thanks in advance for any assistance, Inkian Jason (talk) 15:27, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Tip of the month:

  • When creating biographies, don't forget to use Template:DEFAULTSORT.
    Accessible from "Wiki markup" at the foot of the page being edited,
    it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.

Moving the needle: (statistics available via Humaniki tool)

  • 24 Mar 2025: 20.070% of biographies on EN-WP are about women (2,057,083, 412,857 women)
  • 27 Jan 2025: 20.031% (2,047,793 bios, 410,200 women)

Notice

The article Onijah Robinson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Poorly referenced WP:BLP. The New York Post and several other sources are deprecated. She's famous for one incident: violating WP:BLP1E.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Sub-referencing: User testing

Apologies for crossposting

Hi I'm Johannes from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes team. We are making great strides with the new sub-referencing feature and we’d love to invite you to take part in two activities to help us move this work further:

  1. Try it out and share your feedback
    Please try the updated wikitext feature on the beta wiki and let us know what you think, either on our talk page or by booking a call with our UX researcher.
  2. Get a sneak peak and help shape the Visual Editor user designs
    Help us test the new design prototypes by participating in user sessions – sign up here to receive an invite. We're especially hoping to speak with people from underrepresented and diverse groups to get different perspectives. If that's you, please consider signing up! No prior or extensive editing experience is required. User sessions will start May 14th.

We plan to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We’ll reach out to wikis for piloting in time for deployments. Creators and maintainers of reference-related tools and templates will be contacted beforehand as well.

Thank you very much for your support and encouragement so far in helping bring this feature to life Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 15:24, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

  • Who are the most overlooked and interesting Women in Red? We've no idea,

    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.

Interesting article to c/e

One of my students translated from Chinese an article that seems to be quite interesting regarding the history of women rights in China. It could use a c/e (I also provided feedback to the student regarding issues like underlinking and citation formatting). Feel free to c/e it too, in a collaborative spirit, and/or leave feedback for the student. TIA. Suicide of Xi Shangzhen Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 02:39, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
