Dear Rosie,
I hope you are keeping well? On 26 September 2015, we exchanged a few messages in which you kindly suggested:

If you ever want to collaborate on some article, pop by and let me know, i.e. know of any women musicians, singers, entertainers who are notable but aren't covered yet on Wikipedia?

Well, I have now drafted something about Emily Stipes Watts in one of my sandboxes and I was wondering if I could impose on you with a gentle request to have a quick look at this very advanced draft, whenever convenient to you, and then kindly to advise me about the best course of action, please?
As you will notice if you scroll up to the previous section in that same sandbox, I am in the process of preparing a new section in the Ernest Hemingway article, to cover the subject of Hemingway and the Arts (or some such section title). So, as I was looking for sources, I very quickly found her book and bought it straight away, so I could learn and develop the required encyclopedic prose.
Then, it occurred to me that it would be nice if our encyclopedia had a stub or article on her, and I then remembered your Wikipedia:WikiProject Women activities and thought I'd seek your advice, as I don't often create articles from scratch.
Essentially, my project has now split into two sub-projects: first create a new article/stub on Emily Stipes Watts (if desirable), then update the Hemingway article with the new section on the Arts, for which I now have a handwritten draft. Obviously, the new Hemingway section would rely on ESW's book as its main source, and so I thought it'd be nice to have an article on her too.
There is no rush at all, Rosie, and I am very happy to wait as long as it takes for you to find the time required for this, in your very busy schedule.
Questions going through my mind right now are:

1. Is there too much prose for a stub? Or not enough for an article?
2. Given the paucity of online sources, is it worth creating a new stub/article for this person?
3. If so, should I create a new page for Emily Stipes Watts straight away and run the gauntlet of the deletionists; or create Emily Stipes Watts (draft) and learn how to submit a draft for review (I have never done this before)?

Very many thanks, in advance, for any advice you may offer, Rosie.
With kind regards;

P.S.: I have now realized that you're away until 27 June, at which time I will be unavailable until 9 July. I can only apologize for my exceedingly bad timing (!), and hope that you will forgive me... As I said above: there is no rush whatsoever, and we'll work on this together if you wish and whenever you feel like it. Until then, enjoy your conference and I wish you the greatest success with it.

Dear Rosie,

Just to let you know that I finally took the plunge and created the article on Emily Stipes Watts today.

Get well very soon and thank you for everything you do for our encyclopedia, and in support of your fellow editors through so many, worthy projects.

Dear Rosie,

Thank you for taking the time to reply, especially given your current health issues, and also for applying those helpful improvements already; I am very grateful! If/when you have the time, please kindly point me to wherever I can learn how to do this, unless of course it requires special editorial privileges and/or tools.

Thanks once again for your helpful assistance, Rosie, and get well soon.

Hey Dr. Blofeld - The article I created (Church of St. Pietro in Ortanella), which predates the article you created (Church of St. Pietro, Esino Lario), has been merged into yours with no attribution for my work. In general, I wouldn't care, but it's best practice for attribution history to be correct, and I need the credit because of User:Rosiestep/100wikidays. I'll sort it out after I get home from work if a page-stalking admin doesn't jump in first. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-06-29T14:42:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2016-06-29T14:42:00.000Z-Dr._Blofeld-2016-06-24T19:46:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

*Ok, I have made a good start; the official heritage entry was rather useless. Ideas for further work:

• You could extract an architectural description from the 7 May 1925 source.
• There's been lots in The Press in recent years about the current owner trying to have the building demolished.
• Info on the owner itself; the main shareholder hiding behind the company name is a brother of Antony Gough (and there's certainly potential to write a few articles on notable Gough family members; some of them are having a rather public spat in court with one another)
• I've seen it mentioned that Cecil Wood designed further Public Trust offices (Dunedin and Timaru), and I will have a look whether I can find anything. The Dunedin building is certainly a beauty, but not registered.

Problems I see: one, we appear to be dancing around and not directly addressing the notability of the Hartman murder/Fairbanks Four, which is understandable because it would amount to a lot of work to present properly (fun fact: Marvin Roberts is the grandson of Billy McCarty, the last surviving musher in the 1925 serum run to Nome). There's been a lot of lip service given to increasing our coverage of indigenous topics, but it's really only lip service considering how many admins/other regulars have been tearing down the efforts of others to increase that coverage, and specifically have been battling me over my efforts WRT Alaska Natives. Two, I don't believe the photo of Lindemuth passes fair use criteria, in that it merely shows what she looks like and presents no historical context. Mike, I don't want to delve into your business, but considering you're in Juneau, I would think that to mean you're in a much better position to go take a free photo yourself than just about anyone else. On related notes, Mike uploaded a photo of Greg Fisk which was deleted for simliar reasons. Now that enough time has passed, it should be restored so that it can be refactored as a FU image. Also, I've been on a hunt lately for images which have fallen out of copyright, many of which I've added to Alaska Women's Hall of Fame and other places. I do have some on a handful of past attorneys general; one of them is of Grace Berg Schaible, but it was taken in the 1940s. Summer in Alaska means work/outdoor opportunities which aren't available other times of the year, so I haven't had the opportunity to be as active on here. Also, Beeblebrox is gone for the entire summer, which means that I've put off various Alaska-related things because his input may be helpful.

• Titodutta yes, that would be helpful. I have no idea where to start and that would be true of others. It would improve the possibility of editors participating who live in other parts of the world, e.g. WP:Women in Red has links to redlists in every meetup page. This is why there are so many articles listed in every meetup's Outcomes section. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:29, 6 July 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-07-06T14:29:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2016-07-06T14:29:00.000Z-Titodutta-2016-07-06T09:03:00.000Z","replies":["c-Titodutta-2016-07-06T14:32:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-07-06T14:29:00.000Z"]}}-->

The entire website (and I believe several others) concentrates on women's gymnastics and apparently has many fans. Remember the huge difference between male and female athlete BLP numbers.

Hi Rosie. I've spent the last two or three days trying to list the participants in June. Here's the result. I tried to start with the entertainers but then noticed that most people had participated in several areas. I have therefore tried to list the overall involvement of each editor. I was surprised to see how many had addressed other interests (especially art and writing) which were not a priority for the month. And I not sure how we should send out thank-yous. I think it will be far too complicated to send out separate thank-yous for enterainers, Jewish women, LGBT, scientists and other. Any ideas? (I also have a list of at least 30 more editors who probably accidentally became involved by writing just one article which happened to be about women.) While I was researching the list, I also added many more articles to the lists on the editathon pages. I think the listings now are more or less complete: 348 articles on Women in Entertainment, 55 on Women in Jewish History, 51 on LGBTQ Women, 93 on Women Scientists and around 300 more on women in other spheres. That means there were at least 800 new articles in June (and probably several hundred more on sports).--Ipigott (talk) 15:02, 5 July 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-07-05T15:02:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-07-05T15:02:00.000Z-Participants_in_the_WiR_June_editathons","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2016-07-05T15:52:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-07-05T15:02:00.000Z"]}}-->

Though most of its inductees are women, this one is not strictly a woman's hall of fame. Do we still want to create a template and if so, do you care to do it? There are pictures on each of the links if someone wanted to do fair use for each of the ones we have an article on that does not have a photo, but it took me three days just to create the list.

• The link is here. I don't think we need to send out any more thank-yous for the June editathons (I sent out 12 barnstars and 49 simple thank-yous) but you will see from the list that several editors have contributed strongly on women's biographies in general and/or on women scientists without specifically contributing new articles to the editathon priorities. These include Aciram (65 informative stubs), Allisonlee9 (six scientists), David Eppstein (five scientists and many improvements), JaneSwifty (two scientists and 18 other biographies), Keilana (six scientists and 37 draft upgrades), Lord Sidious 82 (12 biographies), MurielMary (13 biographies) and Victuallers (10 biographies and general support).

Working on Genevieve Fiore I discovered she was a delegate to the 1975 UN World Conference on Women, which was part of the International Women's Year. The conference gave birth to CEDAW, thus is incredibly important, IMO. [2] [3], [4] I know this is right up your alley, but don't know if you have time to work on it.

Harej I looked at it and in general, I'm somewhere between "I like it" and "I love it".

Happy to hear it's a step in the right direction. I look forward to seeing more feedback.

Yes, the page is working fine now. WP Women writers has tended to take second place to Women in Red over the past year but it is actually a very important project in its own right. Now that we have begun to give more attention to the improvement of existing articles, we should really be developing better tools for monitoring quality development. The page setup looks fine to me but perhaps we could introduce some new features such as a list of the hundred most popular articles by page views (cf. Denmark popular pages) or a list of articles on which editors are ready to collaborate for upgrading to GA or FAC.

I will admit, I am a little worried about finding material for this (from the image side of thing). Historically marginalised people can sometimes be hard to get good photos of.

I totally agree Adam Cuerden In my experience, any photos of indigenous women are hard to come by. Finding ones that fit WP criteria, even moreso. I am loving the photograph work you are doing.

I might have some luck with the Maori; Te Papa, the National Museum of New Zealand, actively promotes Maori life. And I may get a few - is it "First Peoples" that's the preferred term now? - images from the Library of Congress, simply as their collection is so massive, and the Hawaiian and Arctic areas shouldn't be too bad either. But it's going to be... fun... getting much beyond that. Of course, I do find that once you've researched it a bit you learn how to find a subject, so it may be that things will improve then.

Adam Cuerden - the National Library is the best spot to go looking for photos of Māori and it's important to know that they generally don't show the license that is appropriate, but PD-New Zealand outlines the relevant rules. How to extract high-resolution photos from their database isn't straightforward, but there are some instructions on this page (and if that needs updating, please ping me).

Hi Roseistep, I don't want to clutter the current AN thread but notice you've commented there.

Hi, Sitush. That is certainly possible. "Buyer, beware" and all that. For WP:RS, I check what's checkable (e.g. if there's a link) and I AGF what isn't (no link). For WP:N, I do my own research regarding the person/place/thing. If everything checks out, I do the translation; if not, I move on to something else. I've been doing wiki translations for years, even before becoming an immediate supporter of Dr. Blofeld's WP:WikiProject Intertranswiki.

Thanks. It's food for thought. I wonder how many others are as conscientious. N would usually be picked up eventually; RS and plain old misrepresentation/misinterpretation is far more problematic. My experience is mostly re: Indic articles, where stuff sometimes comes across from one of the many Indic-language projects and the quality is often horrendous. There isn't much I can do there as, to my shame, gibberish --> English is about my limit when it comes to translating.

In a sense, the issue of propagating, perpetuating etc poor content is similar to the problems that face WikiData. Eg: if WikiData takes info from poor persondata in en-WP articles (I know persondata is all being moved over there). - Sitush (talk) 14:23, 28 July 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-07-28T14:23:00.000Z","author":"Sitush","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Sitush-2016-07-28T14:23:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-07-28T14:14:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

The idea is to use a foreign wiki article as an initial template I think, translate material which is perfectly appropriate and encyclopedic and most importantly ensure that it is verifiable and properly sourced. The Intertranswiki project is supposed to be aimed more at identifying missing articles from other wikis and ensuring that they have an article in English. Most articles on other wikis are not well sourced, so it's rarely a good idea to fully copy. I know when I translate anything I always ensure that the information copied is checked externally to google web/book sources and that there is no original research. I am aware though that quite a few people do translate entirely from other wikis and sourcing might not always be up to scratch.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:54, 28 July 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-07-28T14:54:00.000Z","author":"Dr. Blofeld","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dr._Blofeld-2016-07-28T14:54:00.000Z-Query_re:_translated_articles_from_other_projects","replies":["c-SusunW-2016-07-28T15:40:00.000Z-Dr._Blofeld-2016-07-28T14:54:00.000Z","c-Ipigott-2016-07-30T13:14:00.000Z-Dr._Blofeld-2016-07-28T14:54:00.000Z"]}}-->

I rarely directly translate something from another project; mostly I use the other WP project's page as a guide. Different projects have different standards. For example, many of the Scandanavian projects have RS and don't need much work to translate an article; but many articles from the Spanish project have no sourcing at all and I write a lot of articles on Mexican subjects. So a lot depends on the project and their definition of RS as to whether I translate or not. I pull all the sources I can from their article and see if it matches what is in the article. Then I research myself to see if there are sources to supplement the information and/or clarify anything that might be not fully supported in the article. If the subject is notable and the information is not supported by the other project's sources, I just create an article from scratch.

• @Sitush: Thanks for enquiring into the extremely important area of Wikipedia translation. Like you, I have noticed many translations of poorly sourced articles which, surprisingly, are often accepted on the EN wiki, simply because they are translations. Even some of the more critical editors justify this practice in discussions on acceptability, stating for example "I have great respect for the NL-wiki". Recently, we have been using Wikidata lists of EN redlinks to focus on missing biographies in different areas. I must say I am amazed to see how many poorly referenced articles are included in these listings . Personally, I prefer to translate from languages I understand as I like to check out the sources and expand the articles from sources I find myself, even if they are in languages other than English. Another problem is that on-line sources which were used five or ten years ago for non-English articles have often disappeared. Some can be re-identified but most can't. So I fully support the comments from SusunW, Dr. Blofeld and Rosiestep that we must be able to verify sources even if we work on articles from wikis in other languages. All this though with one footnote: far too many translated articles are deleted because English-language editors use the EN (usually American) versions of Google to look for sources. Far more sources are revealed by using versions of Google for the language in question. It can also be useful to search in foreign-language encyclopaedias, databases, press archives, etc., making sure the name of the person or place is spelt in the search language rather than the English equivalent. If you find errors in Wikidata, you should correct them or bring them to someone's attention. While there were indeed errors in Persondata, there is no reason to suppose that the boxes people add to new articles are any more accurate. Some people seem to copy boxes from one article to another, often forgetting to update important details.--Ipigott (talk) 13:14, 30 July 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-07-30T13:14:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-07-30T13:14:00.000Z-Dr._Blofeld-2016-07-28T14:54:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2016-07-30T14:44:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-07-30T13:14:00.000Z"]}}-->

Rosiestep, I assume you studied Spanish (I never did, and my Italian gets in the way). Did you plan to come back to the acting credits at teh end of this article? Have a look at the edit I just made; the translation tool rendered "Radio" as "Irradiate", translated someone's family name as "Monkey", and so on ... please check my work and see if I missed anything! I decided to simply omit 99% of the listings of others involved in the films, yadda yadda, which simplified the task somewhat, but I may well have mucked up.

Because of my co-organizer involvement with Wiki Conference North America, I am immersed in wiki event planning, so these days, I'm lacking the time to do much follow-up with article writing. I appreciate that you did what you di. Thanks for having my back!!

Hello Rosiestep, My name is Stephanie Barker and I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am currently enrolled in a Digital Anthropology class, which attempts to answer how the digital world affects culture and how culture affects the digital world. For my final project I am doing an ethnography on women Wikipedia users and as a member of the WikiProject Women page I was hoping I could ask you some questions about your experiences editing Wikipedia pages. 1. Have you ever been locked into an intense editing war? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 2. How did you become interested in editing Wikipedia pages and did you have any initial fears/hesitations when you started editing pages? 3. Have you ever been a victim of a mass deletion or other vandalism on Wikipedia? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 4. How would you describe your gender? 5. Is there anything else you would like to share with me about your experiences as a Wikipedia editor? Thank you for taking the time to read this email. I would like you to know that I am only sharing my research with my professor and the other students in my class. If you would like me to send you a copy of my final project, I would be more than happy to!

The first leg is Bristol. Names are to be added at the bottom of the Bristol page and articles listed. Please also make sure that you add entries you improve/start to the main list on the main page. There will be £10 to win each day for the most points accumulated and then the winner of the county crowned after three days. The overall winner will be decided from the points accumulated from each county round. If you're not interested in winning anything and want to contribute anything you want from the West Country this is fine too though.

Dear Rosie,
(By copy: SusunW)
I hope you are keeping well and that you recovered fully from the sniffles of a few weeks ago?
Here is another article I have been improving recently, about the late musicologist Hally Wood. I feel I've now achieved pretty much all I could on this one; so, when you have the time and inclination, please would you (and our friend SusunW) kindly look at it and sprinkle your customary magic upon it? Thank you very much in advance.

Please kindly consider doing this when you're back, and/or have the time to teach me and watch me executing it in real-time. That way, any clumsiness on my part would be instantly repaired.

Pdebee It's there [6] And yes, it should be done on all articles. If you want to do it, there is a gadget that can be installed to make it easy. Edgars 2007's instructions state "To start using it, place at Special:mypage/common.js this line, follow instructions at the top of page about reloading page and go to some biography":

mediaWiki.loader.load( '//ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:WEF_AllEditors.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );

Once it is installed, there will be options at the left under "tools" that let you create a "person" entry. When an entry exists, you will see in the same section "Wikidata item". Trust me, I am not remotely technical, so if I can do it, I have faith you will be able to as well.

Dear SusunW,
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to provide your detailed guidance (immediately above); you're so nice and thoughtful! Thank you also for pointing out that Hally Wood's name had already been entered on Wikidata (I had never been there before and need to learn about it...). At least, we won't have to do it this time.
One question though, and please excuse my innocence of such things: when I look at the Authority control field at the bottom of the Emily Stipes Watts article that you and Rosie completed recently, I can see it has three fields with links: "WorldCat Identities", "VIAF: 92845424" and "ISNI: 0000 0001 0998 3945". However, the Hally Wood article only has the first two you kindly added yesterday, and is missing the 'ISNI' link; this is what prompted me to ask Rosie the initial query above, because that was the action she took for the Watts article. So, how do we add this 'ISNI' link into the Wood article, please? Or is it not needed? Thank you for your continued patience with me, and please only reply if/when convenient; no rush at all.
With kind regards; Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(guestbook)} 16:27, 10 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-10T16:27:00.000Z","author":"Pdebee","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Pdebee-2016-08-10T16:27:00.000Z-Article_on_Hally_Wood","replies":["c-SusunW-2016-08-10T16:52:00.000Z-Pdebee-2016-08-10T16:27:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Pdebee."}}-->

Pdebee typically if you input Authority control (and it matches what is already in the database), it will pull in all of the applicable links. There are lots of them. Look at the bottom of Emmeline Pankhurst, for example. In other cases, the data is not manually loaded and one has to add it. I look up [7] and ISNI [8] if it is not there. The format is {{Authority control|VIAF=#######|ISNI=#### #### #### ####}} Not every person has an entry in every database, but Wood does have an ISNI entry, if you want to add it, or I can do it for you. A bot will take it to the Wikidata entry if you input it as indicated.

Hi Rosiestep! I don't recall if we've interacted before on here. You're the only one with a WP username listed on the WikiConference scholarships page, though, so here's my question: are scholarships intended to cover all round-trip travel, accommodations, and some daily living expenses? Given travel from Midwestern US, do you think, say, US$1500 is a reasonable requested amount with return of unused funds and a grant-style breakdown/report of expenditures? (I don't need an "official" answer, just rough guidelines.)

Hi L235, and thank you for reaching out to me. In order to help out as many Wikipedians as possible, the scholarships will be partial, so, very very very roughly, closer to $500 than US$1500. Note, too, that in 2014, there were about 50 scholarship application; in 2015, there were 192; and we are expecting even more this year. So don't delay, and make sure your application is as complete as possible. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:41, 12 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-12T03:41:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2016-08-12T03:41:00.000Z-L235-2016-08-12T03:25:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi Rosie. I though I should first seek you advice on drastically cutting back the length of the main WiR page. Although it consists of several separately editable sections, the whole page as displayed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red is now enormous. I would suggest cutting back the Events section to not more than the past three months with a link or collapse to the remainder. The Requests section contains a template to Women scientists but most of the articles to be created are already blue links. Can these not be deleted? The Showcase section is now far too long, particularly the DYK lists which run to 37 KB with listings running back to September 2015. Can these not be summarized, archived and/or collapsed? It's good to have the Featured Pictures but perhaps their size could be reduced, possibly with a link to a separate page. Perhaps you also have some suggestions on how to present the project more efficiently and attractively. Harej may also be able to come up with automatic archiving features. I await your response before acting too boldly but one solution might simply be to delete most of the dated info.--Ipigott (talk) 08:43, 14 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-14T08:43:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-08-14T08:43:00.000Z-Women_in_Red_main_page","replies":[]}}-->

I'd get rid of the big DYK list, it just doesn't need to appear on the main page. Nor does the big list of past events. They're gone now. I'd fix it but the page is all controlled externally. That's the problem when you have a set up that you can't just simply edit... Things like a list of past events and DYKs belong on sub pages I think, a sub section of the main page and then a link to a subpage. You shouldn't have to ask somebody whenever you want to make changes, but this whole thing was designed by Harej in a way which most baffles me and most users it seems.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:49, 14 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-14T08:49:00.000Z","author":"Dr. Blofeld","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dr._Blofeld-2016-08-14T08:49:00.000Z-Women_in_Red_main_page","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2016-08-14T12:41:00.000Z-Dr._Blofeld-2016-08-14T08:49:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi @Ipigott and Dr. Blofeld:. In the short-run, I think it is easy enough to create archive pages for the sections that are too long, e.g. just like for Metrics. This way we don't mess with Harej's programming on the back end. In the long-run, we'll have to decide -on the WiR talkpage, not here- if it makes sense to remove WiR from the WikiProject X model so we have full control over our subpages. If you'd like to start a conversation about that, I'd recommend doing so on the WiR talkpage vs. here, and copy this convo over to the WiR talkpage.

@Rosiestep, Ipigott, and Dr. Blofeld: the {{Load WikiProject Modules}} template is just a wrapper that loads subpages. You can edit the subpages freely. Most of the WikiProject's page length is from ordinary wikitext. I strongly encourage reporting only summaries on the front page, with more information on subpages as needed. The new Metrics section is a good example.

I agree. Can RexxS - or even Harej and his team - set up a system to archive everything more than two months old? Or should we just delete huge chunks anyway?

@Rosiestep, Ipigott, Montanabw, Harej, and Dr. Blofeld: Looking at the present page, I'm not sure that archiving is necessarily the best option.

First, in this case, it's not straightforward process that it can be done by a bot. As it's not a talk page, you don't have chunks of text with a regular timestamp for a bot to examine and decide to archive, so you're going to have to do most of it manually. Second, I'm not exactly sure of the problem you're trying to solve. A large page is not in itself a problem: the problems are usually either difficulty in finding required content or slow response when editing. Is anybody having difficulty actually loading the parent page?

I've had a good look at the setup for Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red. The parent page transcludes 8 sub-pages:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Events
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Tasks
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Metrics
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Showcase
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Press
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Research
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Resources
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/External links

Of these, Metrics has something built in that resembles an archive, but isn't. The content in the "archive" never appears on the page, so you have to follow a link to see what the metrics are based on. That's a good idea when hardly anybody wants to look at the content, but is not what you'd want for other content.

All but one of the other sub-pages are not large, namely: Events, Tasks, Press, Research, Resources and External links. Even if they grew, I'd still recommend using a collapsed section for convenience of the reader, just as you've done for "Prior months" in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Tasks #Redlink rounds section.

That leaves Showcase, which I agree would benefit from trimming. if there are no performance issues with loading and editing, then I'd recommend using a collapsed section for "Earlier Images" for the and "Prior months" for the DYKs. I've just made exemplar edits to do that for those two sections for you. To update, simply move the {{collapse top}} further up when needed. However, if you are finding performance issues, then ping me and I'll set up some manual archiving for you. --RexxS (talk) 15:37, 15 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-15T15:37:00.000Z","author":"RexxS","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-RexxS-2016-08-15T15:37:00.000Z-Women_in_Red_main_page","replies":["c-Ipigott-2016-08-15T16:15:00.000Z-RexxS-2016-08-15T15:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks RexxS for taking the time and trouble to look at the WiR page and all its subsections. Thanks too for introducing collapsed sections which make it much easier to browse through the various sections. Your advice on using the collapse approach for the other sections as they grow is probably a good way to deal with natural expansion.--Ipigott (talk) 16:15, 15 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-15T16:15:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-08-15T16:15:00.000Z-RexxS-2016-08-15T15:37:00.000Z","replies":["c-Montanabw-2016-08-16T05:20:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-08-15T16:15:00.000Z"]}}-->

I think one of the problems is that the events need to go elsewhere, they bloat the landing page.

I think the problem with the mainpage is that it has too much going on. I'd rather that it be quite clean and neat, with links for the subpages, rather than transclusions. Harej, if you're attending WikiConference North America, we can discuss this in more detail. --Rosiestep (talk) 13:52, 16 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-16T13:52:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2016-08-16T13:52:00.000Z-Montanabw-2016-08-16T05:20:00.000Z","replies":["c-RexxS-2016-08-16T14:10:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-08-16T13:52:00.000Z"]}}-->

I've put the previous events into a collapsed section for now - is that any better, Montanabw? In the longer term you may want to re-organise the way the page is presented into a tab-like system - see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation for a rather garish example. The present 'module' system is very attractive and I won't disturb the good work done by James and his team. If I had a free hand, I'd move the current navigation with its aesthetically pleasing icons to the top of the page where users tend to expect navigation to be; then I'd split off the large sub-pages so that they loaded alone, leaving the smaller sub-pages as a single page. A short, concise landing page could be created which would contain the navigation at the top, linking them all together. Just my opinion, of course. --RexxS (talk) 14:10, 16 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-16T14:10:00.000Z","author":"RexxS","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-RexxS-2016-08-16T14:10:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-08-16T13:52:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2016-08-16T14:22:00.000Z-RexxS-2016-08-16T14:10:00.000Z"]}}-->

RexxS I like the tab-like system a lot, but I understand it to be difficult to expand (e.g. add new tabs). In lieu of tabs, we use collapsible buttons at the top of WiR editathons, e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/20, as they are easy enough for me to create. I think we can all agree that the Women in Red mainpage needs a facelift. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:22, 16 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-16T14:22:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2016-08-16T14:22:00.000Z-RexxS-2016-08-16T14:10:00.000Z","replies":["c-RexxS-2016-08-16T14:44:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-08-16T14:22:00.000Z"]}}-->

A tab-based scheme need not be difficult to expand. AFC uses the template {{start tab}} to create theirs (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/tabs). The {{Clickable button}}s that you use are fine: they do just the same job. Personally, I like the current icons best - they could still be used. By all means share your thoughts with Harej; I'm sure he'll have good ideas about how to implement a face-lift. --RexxS (talk) 14:44, 16 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-16T14:44:00.000Z","author":"RexxS","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-RexxS-2016-08-16T14:44:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-08-16T14:22:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I've mocked up a scheme to show how you can separate out the large pages at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/sandbox - the navigation could be customised and the landing pages for the large sub-pages changed to taste while keeping James' Project X scheme.

Hi Ipigott, I'm not leaning one way or another on this so deferring to you plus @SusunW, Megalibrarygirl, and Victuallers: for a decision. I would be glad to send invites through MassMessage. No sponsors for either of these as events (the leadership of WMNYC and WMDC are concentrating on the upcoming WikiConference North America). I still like the idea of having one large category as an event to attract a large group of editors, but haven't developed the thought and won't have bandwidth until after the conference is over.

Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. So if you're doing work on British women or castles or something such add them to the list. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:30, 30 August 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-08-30T12:30:00.000Z","author":"Dr. Blofeld","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dr._Blofeld-2016-08-30T12:30:00.000Z-Wikipedia:The_10,000_Challenge","replies":[]}}-->

Did you ever identify the town with multiple campaniles? I think I took photos of the town on the way back, which should give a name, but I haven't had time to go through my pictures yet.

Hi Rosie. I'm really sorry to bother you on your talk page but as you have not responded to any of yesterday's discussions on this, I thought I should address you directly. I feel very guilty about bringing the Nigerian preliminary plans to the attention of WiR before they had clearly defined the arrangement for their contests. It now turns out that their first contest, Nigerian women entertainers, is planned very specifically to take place from 20 September to 19 October. Your encouragement for us to support Nigerian women with a wider mandate extending to the end of October led Megalibrarygirl immediately to publish a WiR23 editathon page at a time when I was trying to establish further details of the contest with the Nigerians. The initial work on the contest page came shortly afterwards. Understandably, Olaniyan Olushola is now upset that our efforts are moving attention away from the Nigerian efforts to WiR. To straighten things out, I think we should delete WiR23, or failing this fully adapt it to a notice announcing the Nigerian contest, clarifying the dates (20 September to 19 October) and the coverage (Nigerian entertainers). We should also build on the Nigerian list of red links rather than our own. I have invited Olaniyan to provide the text of an announcement we could post on our main page but have not yet had any response. I could draft something myself and send it to him for approval if I do not hear anything. I think we need to be very careful about our relations on Africa. Dr. Blofeld does not seem to be receiving very much support from Anthere (see here). Please try to get back to me as soon as you can on this.--Ipigott (talk) 09:12, 14 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-14T09:12:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-09-14T09:12:00.000Z-Nigerian_women_contest","replies":["c-Olaniyan_Olushola-2016-09-14T11:01:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-14T09:12:00.000Z","c-Ipigott-2016-09-14T10:57:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-14T09:12:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi Ipigott, thank you for your contributions so far. I will really want to clear air on the fact that i am upset. I am never upset about anything because we all are here to contribute to Wikipedia.The concerned i showed was based on the fact that since we have a contest page in place with a unique concept, therefore creating a new page would amount to confusion.Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 11:01, 14 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-14T11:01:00.000Z","author":"Olaniyan Olushola","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Olaniyan_Olushola-2016-09-14T11:01:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-14T09:12:00.000Z","replies":["c-Ipigott-2016-09-14T11:09:00.000Z-Olaniyan_Olushola-2016-09-14T11:01:00.000Z"]}}-->

Comment removed.

I don't think it's just Olaniyan and Jamie Tubers but also the way Wiki Loves Women has been arranged with different sets of women priorities, one month at a time. I initially had the impression that Olaniyan was very happy about our support. I believe one aspect of the work is in fact to encourage more women editors from Africa too which is entirely in keeping with the WiR agenda. I personally would feel much happier about the whole thing if we could just point to the current contest on entertainers now that we have the basic details. There is already quite an extensive redlink list of Nigerian women entertainers. That would not prevent us from having a separate, more general editathon on African women at a later date, perhaps in collaboration with what Islahaddow and Anthere and the Goethe Institut see as priorities. But I have the feeling the more support I try to give to these initiatives at the moment, the more confusing everything seems to become. Maybe I should just leave the admin to everyone else and take part directly in the Nigerian contest as it stands. After all, if our work is not appreciated, there's little part in contributing to anything.--Ipigott (talk) 10:57, 14 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-14T10:57:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-09-14T10:57:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-14T09:12:00.000Z","replies":["c-Ipigott-2016-09-14T14:01:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-14T10:57:00.000Z"]}}-->

I, for one, truly appreciate your work Ipigott. I believe you are no part in the current issue at stake, just an unfortunate person taken "in between". I feel a bit heart-broken myself at the moment. I thought an acceptable path had been found with the Stubathon, only to find myself spending hours responding on talk pages and seeing my mailbox pile up with emails from Dr Blofeld. I do not like conflicts, I do not like at all that a fellow wikipedian get insulted and I have work to do. I also feel like setting myself aside for a while. Anthere (talk)

Thanks, Anthere, for you kind words. I would just point out, though, that it was thanks to Dr. Blofeld that I originally became aware of the Nigerian initiative. I then searched around a bit and found from here that Wiki Loves Women and the Goethe Institut were in fact covering four counties. In addition to Nigeria, there were also Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, and Ghana. I thought all of this could be coordinated in collaboration with Women in Red but things seem to have backfired. At the moment, like you I feel like withdrawing from further involvement. We can get back together when things have calmed down and at least the Entertainment phase of the Nigerian contest has been completed. I would also like to assist with French coverage of Côte d'Ivoire and Camaroon, perhaps in collaboration with Wikidata.--Ipigott (talk) 14:01, 14 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-14T14:01:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-09-14T14:01:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-14T10:57:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I am speechless. So... the way you think our current disagreements will be solved is by resorting to fallacies and personal attacks on a fellow wikipedian ?!? Look, we have a honest disagreement on Challenge. Nothing wrong about that. In a normal world, this is done by honest talking. But here... I believe your behaviour is not acceptable (Wikipedia:No personal attacks)

• you are diverting the issue (talking of Shola character rather than talking the contest disagreement) : Red herring
• insulting Shola caracter : ad hominem attack
• assume Shola is not answering you because he wants to take credits of things when the truth is that he simply wants some peace because you are behaving like a bully : Begging the question
• asserting that most will agree with you that Shola is the root of the problem : bandwagoning
• creating a false dilemma, as in "Shoal either works with me" or "completely alone" : "either-or fallacy"
• selecting facts ("I have done nothing but trying to help". Really ? What when you added usernames on the 10k challenge without the added people knowing ? : Card stacking
• Generalising quickly and sloppily (if he joins your frame, changes will be massive, if he does not... peanuts) : hasty generalization

So, my suggestion will be that you apology to him now. Shola is a great person and one that rarely (if ever) get upset. He has a pleasant character easy to live with. You simply need to stop interfering and be a bit more respectful.

We are at a loss of what you are really trying to achieve here.

Further, @Dr. Blofeld - at the moment, the way you are operating, harassing people and casting doubt on their dedication and commitment to Wikipedia, just because they do not fit in with your “idea” nor respond as quickly to your insane pace, is just not on. Olaniyan was completely right to get upset about having his edits “entered” by you into your 10,000 challenge. He also has a duty to his team and to his project. He has to discuss things with them first. He cannot make decision on your whim. He has processes and procedures to follow (funders, partners and the team to discuss things with) and no doubt your erratic messages, bombardment and questioning has now got him completely confused.

I am glad that Olaniyan Olushola responded. Many would not have. Many would have seen this space become brutal and non-safe with your remarks.

We want to make it clear. We do not support your 10,000 contest … but we said we would look into working with you on the Destubathon along with WIR. Maligning any member of the WLW team just because he doesn’t agree with your methods does not make for a sound working relationship. I hope your remarks do not damage the relationship between WLW and WIR or others.

Comments removed.

Really, I think you need to take the time to read what I wrote. I said that your pace was insane and that the general talk space had become brutal because of how you have talked about your understanding of his character. Shola doesn't have the data connections and cannot stay online all the time - and as I said, he has to consult many people in order to proceed. It is normal for this to take a few days. You, on the other hand, working alone and with your firstworld internet connection, expect an immediate response.

Unlike what you wrote about Shola, what I wrote was not a personal attack on you but an explanation of why Shola could not operate the way you do.

That having been said, the destubathon and partnership with WIR is a good idea. Perhaps we should all keep to logistics, a plan of action, etc. and not go for personal comments. In that way, we can all proceed in a positive fashion.

To keep you up to date: I've now revised the WiR23 page to bring it fully into line with the Nigerian contest on women in entertainment. I've also been working on their list of red links. I now intend to add clickable buttons to the top of our other editathon pages in order to encourage wider participation in their contest. I think the lesson we have learned from all this is that we should complete discussions with the organizers of other events before we over-interpret what they are trying to achieve. Over the past two or three days, most of my wiki time has been spent on pouring oil on troubled waters. The good news (at least for me) is that positive relations appear to have been restored. I may not, however, be correctly pursuing the objectives of WiR or acting in the interests of better overall coverage of Nigerian (or African) women.--Ipigott (talk) 07:03, 16 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-16T07:03:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-09-16T07:03:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-09-15T05:53:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2016-09-16T13:04:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-16T07:03:00.000Z","c-Ipigott-2016-09-17T07:14:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-16T07:03:00.000Z"]}}-->

Glad to hear you agree we're back on track. Now all we need to do is to encourage our members to participate.

@Victuallers: Thanks for taking this on and giving the correct answer to the query. As I frequently look at the AlexBot lists of new articles on women, I really see so many of these one liners. I think that very often the people behind them simply process lists they find elsewhere, often fully or semi-automatically, spending anything from 20 to 40 seconds on each item. I know there are hundreds if not thousands of similar stubs which would benefit from just a few more details about the person involved. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone really has enough time to expand them consistently. And after all, maybe a one-line stub with a reference is better than nothing at all. As far as I can, very, very few of them are deleted.

Would it not serve a more useful purpose if the stubs were combined into a comprehensive list rather than scattered about as incomplete bios because they lack secondary sources to expand them? For example, we have List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_athletics_(women) (possibly the source of numerous stubs or vice versa) so we could have Olympic medalists in skiing (women), and so on for each category rather than having multiple stubs or should we have both? ^{Atsme📞📧}

Today, it's a stub; 5, 10, 20 years from now, maybe not. If an article meets notability requirements, its brevity is not an issue. The question of brevity has been debated on wikipedia over mushrooms, spiders, and rivers. The answer is the same: if an article meets notability requirements, its length and/or quality aren't reasons for deleting/merging it. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-23T14:48:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2016-09-23T14:48:00.000Z-Ipigott-2016-09-23T09:40:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2016-09-23T14:55:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2016-09-23T14:48:00.000Z"]}}-->

Atsme I realize I am in the minority, but I do not understand the point of stubs in general. For the most part, they give too little information to be useful. Yesterday, I ran across one that said, in essence, XXXX was a women's organization created in XXX. It was disestablished in XXX. No organizational purpose, no ties to other articles, no indication of significance whatsoever. After googling it, I discovered enough information to not only add notability to the stub, but to create an article on one of its early presidents. I have no desire to be the article police, and don't really enjoy doing janitorial work, but it's the nature of the beast. Even if there was a "rule" that all topics of less than start class had to be on a list, someone would have to monitor that for compliance. There are "rules" now that topics must be notable, and yet many people can't be bothered to state what is notable about their stub topic. It takes all kinds to build an encyclopedia. We each do what we can to improve it. I'm of the keep it it might be useful rather than the delete it variety.

@Rosiestep, SusunW, and Atsme: On the subject of stubs, I reckon about half the articles on the EN wiki are stubs. Sports is a good example: on Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports, there are 2,761 stubs vs. 2,898 start or higher. WP Women's sport is even worse: 16,572 stubs vs. 9,175 start or higher. Even if we take WP Women writers, we have 10,165 stubs vs. 11,156 start or better. And these include only the articles which have a wikiproject entry on their talk page. Most don't. Some of the stubs can be useful when they have a reference or an EL site providing more information but I fully support all those destubbing initiatives. The worst thing about poor stubs is that they discourage the creation of informative new articles as people want credit for creating new articles themselves. I don't know of any generalized system for giving credit to those who bring stubs up to start. Perhaps that's something WiR could take on. After all, our overall aim is better coverage of women, isn't it? Maybe we should be specifically giving more credit to destubbing.--Ipigott (talk) 18:30, 23 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-23T18:30:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-09-23T18:30:00.000Z-SusunW-2016-09-23T14:55:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Ipigott, it appears the creator of the Wendy Allen bio I first mentioned was a dedicated stub creator, now retired User:Doma-w. I'm still of the mind that lists would serve a better purpose than 10,000 stubs about questionable notables, & then we can build from those lists. How are these stubs getting past AfC reviews? I was advised in a prior AfD discussion that being a purple heart recipient wasn't notable. I guess it's not a big deal to lose a limb saving lives which is why I was curious about where the sports bar was set for notability. I've seen multiple articles of relatively unknown fish species consisting of nothing more than a taxobox-style lead which I thought were better suited for Wikispecies but that didn't fly, either. I'm not that familiar with bot patrols or if we even have such a thing to sift through stubs with a single cited reference. I stumbled across the following AfD a while ago so it appears stubs are an issue: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mit_einem_Bein_im_Grab. Ironically, I've spent far more time than I thought necessary arguing at AfD over clearly notable women bios while all these stubs go unnoticed. ^{Atsme📞📧} 20:23, 23 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-23T20:23:00.000Z","author":"Atsme","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Atsme-2016-09-23T20:23:00.000Z-Women_in_sports...","replies":["c-Ipigott-2016-09-24T08:15:00.000Z-Atsme-2016-09-23T20:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

@Atsme: Not too sure about lists as an alternative. I compile lots of lists myself but most of them consist of blue links supported by informative articles. I see them as a gateway to those wishing to research a given topic more deeply. If compiled properly with not just the article titles but a few words of explanation on each, they can help people find what they are looking for. Anyway, I'm really glad to hear you are helping to provide support for women's biographies threatened with deletion. Keep up the good work.--Ipigott (talk) 08:15, 24 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-24T08:15:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ipigott-2016-09-24T08:15:00.000Z-Atsme-2016-09-23T20:23:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hello, Rosiestep. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

I think it is fascinating and not remotely surprising. Things change in teeny, tiny increments. Women are harder to write about because sources just do not cover them or their achievements in the same depth that men are covered.

Absolutely, SusunW... the thing I hate seeing though is the old tired explanation that "if it wasn't written about, obviously it wasn't important."

Right there with you Megalibrarygirl. We are the invisible majority, though our majority is slight. I just finished watching a series on systemic racism which talked about how laws were formed to divide people by class mixing in racial distinctions so that people of color were seen as lower on the totem pole than poor whites. As they were running through the list of "laws" that favored whites, I kept thinking, white men. Women didn't have the same legal protections. It seemed so strange to me, that a university program, designed to evaluate how human rights abuses and bias occur, would utilize a program that in itself was biased and made women non-existent.

That sounds really interesting, SusunW. What was the program? And I agree, I find myself asking that question now when I consume media: where are the women and people of color? I just heard about a new book by Carol Anderson called White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide and I can't wait to read it. Hopefully, as a woman, she'll not just look at men in her studies. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:18, 26 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-26T18:18:00.000Z","author":"Megalibrarygirl","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Megalibrarygirl-2016-09-26T18:18:00.000Z-SusunW-2016-09-26T18:08:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2016-09-26T18:28:00.000Z-Megalibrarygirl-2016-09-26T18:18:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi Assaf Official and thanks for reaching out to me. It appears that someone had uploaded the logo for Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C. to Commons, but the upload had a licensing problem, so the image was removed from Commons by one of their admins. For this reason, you can't use it on Wikipedia. If a Fair Use image is uploaded to Commons, it can be used in the article. Hope this helps. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:42, 29 September 2016 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-29T01:42:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2016-09-29T01:42:00.000Z-Assaf_Official-2016-09-28T20:26:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
