Ipigott yes I agree. Glad to have her done, such an important internationalist. On Bandaraanaike, I am finally down to her last term. It will definitely need a copyedit. I tried to follow the path of balancing her career with information on what the profile of the country was during her term, as the context was critical. Also to keep it NPOV, tried to balance internal and external sourcing, interesting to read it in a cold war context (external) verses domestic perception (internal). Alanna is going to work on the legacy section. Photos? and of course, the lede needs work, but we're getting there.

I've been through Bandaranaike for basic copy editing. At almost 1000 kB, it's a pretty long article. I found the coverage of her health problems rather confusing. Her "failing health" is first mentioned in 1993, in 1994 we discover she was recovering from surgery, and shortly afterwards we learn of a foot ailment and diabetes complications. There are reports of her being in a wheel chair for her remaining years. Were all these related? Did she recover? Perhaps it would be useful to describe them separately, although there do not seem to be many sources specifically concerned with her health. Otherwise it was an intriguing historical account. Let me know if there's anything more specific I can do to help.--Ipigott (talk) 14:06, 8 November 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-11-08T14:06:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ipigott-2018-11-08T14:06:00.000Z-SusunW-2018-11-07T15:10:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2018-11-08T15:02:00.000Z-Ipigott-2018-11-08T14:06:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks Ipigott. I'm confused why you took the text back to American English? I copied each section into my spell checker and had it correct to British English, as I found no "Sri Lankan English" spell check. I couldn't find anything that specifically addressed her health, but diabetes often leads to problems in the extremities (and foot amputations), blindness, etc. I assumed they were all related complications of that disease, but I do not know. I'll see if I can find anything, but it's doubtful, as she denied she had any problems[1], but the snippets I put in about her health are widely reported.

Sorry about the American English. I tried to be as neutral as possible. I always use -ize rather than -ise as it is fully acceptable in British English too. But I noticed quite a bit a American syntax and also the use of words like program rather than programme - so I had actually assumed you were using American English. If you really want it to be more "neutrally international", then I think the only spelling that needs to be changed back is -or to -our. I'll just go ahead and take care of them now. Don't bother too much about her health. I just found it a bit confusing.--Ipigott (talk) 15:39, 8 November 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-11-08T15:39:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Ipigott-2018-11-08T15:39:00.000Z-SusunW-2018-11-08T15:02:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2018-11-08T15:44:00.000Z-Ipigott-2018-11-08T15:39:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks Ipigott, as I said, British English is hard for me, so I used a program to do it. I have no clue ;) I have searched again, but find nada more than the foot ailment, diabetes and heart attack.

I appreciate your problems with British English. As far as the differences between American and British English are concerned, I have the advantage of having worked for five years in Canada and being involved in projects with the U.S. Air Force and software developers in San Diego for a further 18 years. Wikipedia editing over the past dozen years or so has also helped. As Shaw so aptly remarked: "England and America are two countries divided by a common language."

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized).

After all the work we've been doing on the draft and background, I think it would be useful to tidy up the article, add a lead and move it to mainspace. Any work on the significance of her contributions to medical science could then follow from other contributors, once we have linked the article to relevant pages.

Ipigott It's a weird one for sure. But so illustrative of the difficulty in locating information and writing about women. I had hoped to hear back from the archivist in Bern and the historian in Kiev, but have had no responses to my queries. I also am not remotely sure how to write the lede, as I don't know how to explain the significance of her work and no one we have contacted has helped with placing her research in context.

Thanks very much, Susun, for the full 143-page cdn.alexanderstreet.com account of the congress you sent me by email. On the grounds of age alone, it must be public domain. It looks to me as if it should be included in full in some other Wikimedia project such as Wikisource, Wikibooks or even Commons. If you have any experience with this, please go ahead. If not, Rosie may be able to help. I have quoted the source in First_World_Congress_of_Jewish_Women simply as "Preface, World Congress of Jewish Women, Vienna, May 6—11th, 1923.

I have no clue, Ipigott sorry. The question would be, since it was printed in Vienna in 1923 is that in public domain? And I have no clue. If it is in the PD, then how to upload it?

I am convinced it is public domain. So all we need is expertise in safeguarding it for wider perusal and as a basis for biographical sourcing. Maybe Megalibrarygirl or her friend Ritchie333 could help too. Like you I am completely lost in the increasing confusion of the tangled Wikimedia web. When I first started contributing weekly library technology updates in three or four languages to the web in the mid-1990s, the order of the day was KISS — Keep It Short and Simple. Today it seems to be MESS — Make Everything Super Sophisticated! But then we septuagenarians should perhaps be leaving things to the more trippy tweens and twenties who should, of course, be the driving force of progress. (I believe at this point, to avoid conviction, I should probably add "LOL".) But to return to the subject, a few days ago I requested access to the international newspapers archive but I have not received permission yet. I was wondering if you could turn up any press photos of the Vienna congress. I know it was widely reported in both the local and international press.--Ipigott (talk) 16:31, 21 November 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-11-21T16:31:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ipigott-2018-11-21T16:31:00.000Z-SusunW-2018-11-21T15:52:00.000Z","replies":["c-Ritchie333-2018-11-21T16:38:00.000Z-Ipigott-2018-11-21T16:31:00.000Z"]}}-->

Something printed in Vienna in 1923 is not necessarily public domain in the US - the cut-off date is 1st January of that year. If it was printed without any named author, it is out of copyright. If it was printed with a named author, copyright expired 70 years after they died, which is not necessarily going to be the case. See File:Old Street station 1920.jpg as an example, which was published anonymously in 1929 and hence copyright expired in 2000 - you probably want something similar to that. GreenMeansGo might be able to give a more definitive answer.

Copyright for Austria is here. Hard to tell for sure without the publication to look at myself, but it looks like this is likely a jointly created work, meaning copyright wouldn't expire in Austria until 70 years after the death of the last author. Ritchie is also correct, that the PD date for the US is 1 Jan 1923. So looks like probably not public domain in either Austria or the US. The solution then is to wait until January 1, 2019, when the PD date for the US rolls over to January 1, 1924, and then upload locally on en.wiki as free in the US but not free in the source country using {{Do not move to Commons|reason=USonly}}.

Ritchie333: The mills of god grind slowly... There are no named authors in the publication although it is stated that some of the speeches are copied verbatim from the manuscripts of the named participants. If we really have to wait another 38 days for potential copyright to expire, then I think we might just about be able to survive the long wait. Up to now, we have waited some 13,500 days for the proceedings to come to our attention.

I haven't seen the link to the actual document to confirm that it was first printed in Austria vs. in the US. If in Austria, then everything said so far by @Ritchie333 and GreenMeansGo holds true. But, if it was first published in the US on the date stated, then on January 1, 2019, the document could be uploaded to WikiSource so that everyone everywhere could access it. I am leaning towards the Preface having been first published in New York as the organization's organ, The Jewish Woman, is/was published there. Have you seen this section regarding Proceedings of the World Conference of Jewish Women in 1923, @Ipigott and SusunW? I'll do some more digging as time permits, e.g. tomorrow is American Thanksgiving and I have family arriving soon. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-11-21T18:03:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2018-11-21T18:03:00.000Z-Ipigott-2018-11-21T17:43:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2018-11-21T18:27:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2018-11-21T18:03:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Regarding Wikisource, my "go to" person is: {{:Wikisource:user:Slowking4}}[7]
• Regarding Austrian copyright, I'd defer to {{:meta:user:Claudia.Garad}}[8]

I am not sure if everyone can access the link [9] but it says 6-11 May 1923 and the preface states "This report is not a verbatim report of all the proceedings but contains merely the written papers prepared by the delegates of speakers on subjects prepared by them and most of the leading discussion. Ellinor Sachs-Barr, Anitta Müller-Choen, The Chair. Secretaries." That would lead me to think these two women were the authors? The last page states "Druckerei-U Verlags—A. G. Ignaz Steinmann IX., Universitätstrasse 6-8 Wien", i.e. the printer. No copyright marks appear, but I have no idea if that is irrelevant or not.

Thanks for forwarding the link, SusunW. I was able to open the pdf and based on the last page (page 143), I think this booklet/document was originally printed by the organizing committee (e.g. not a person) in Vienna, which would make it PD now.

Umm...No I don't think so. As a collective work of "the delegates", we'd have to track down the death dates of all "the delegates" to determine when the last one died, and if that was 70 years ago or more. That makes it a collective work and not an anonymous one. Finding the definite death date for most turn-of-the-century mediocre people is a lost cause without serious resources and non-electronic archive access (read: digging through dusty boxes in a university basement somewhere).

But if we have no evidence that it was printed in the US within 30 days, then we can still upload it locally in 2019 as PD in the US. For someone to say otherwise they'd have to offer evidence that it actually was published in the US within 30 days, which is such a high burden of proof that it's damn near comical.

Worldcat is finicky sometimes, but is probably good enough for our purposes.

Thank you, Susun, for these articles. They will help to improve the coverage but for the time being I am not making any more major additions until the DYK comes up. In regard to newspaper reports, one of my sources gives quite an extensive account of the reports which appeared in the Austrian press. I'll let you know which they were when I have time. I don't know if they have all been digitized but I expect many of them have.

Further to the above, the local papers which covered the event included the Wiener Morgenzeitung (long report on 7 May 1923), Wiener Szenen, Neue Freie Presse, Neues Wiener Journal (found, see below) and Deutschösterreichische Tageszeitung. See [11]. The only one I was able to find on ANNO was Neues Wiener Journal, 10 and 12 May 1923. I also found short articles in Die Stunde 8 May 1923, Wiener Sonn- und Montags-Zeitung, 7 May 1923, but the others don't seem to be digitized. In any case, as far as I can see, none of the contemporary press reports include photographs.

No. It's only anonymous if it's truly an anon work (comparatively rare), or if basically any reasonable effort to identify an author has failed (more common, but also weaker, since anyone may nominate for deletion if they actually can identify an author). But anyway, as I indicated above, this is a collective work, because we have authors for each individual section. So we would have to go through and be like "Ruth Eicholz...okay she died in 1933...Berta Eschelbacher...1941..." ending at some point almost certainly with something like "Berta Pappenheim...crap...she lived to be 104 and didn't die until 1967. So the entire work wouldn't be PD in Austria until...61 plus 70 equals 2031."

And all that's assuming a best case scenario where each individual was notable enough in their own right that there actually is an available and identifiable public record of their death. If we can identify an author but not a death date, then we pretty much have to err on the side of assuming someone in there probably died 1949 or later, meaning no PD.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

On 17 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Helza Cameu, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Brazilian musicologist Helza Cameu was the first to write about many types of indigenous instruments in Portuguese? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Helza Cameu. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Helza Cameu), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Methinks I see an heavenly Host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing. Let all your fears be banished hence, Glad tidings I proclaim; For there's a Savior born today And Jesus is his name. Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks, To Bethlehem repair; And let your wandering steps be squared By yonder shining star. Seek not in courts or palaces; Nor royal curtains draw; But search the stable, See your God extended on the straw. Then learn from hence, ye rural swains, The meekness of your God, Who left the boundless realms of joy, To ransom you with blood. The master of the inn refused A more commodious place; Ungenerous soul of savage mold And destitute of grace. - from William Billings, "Shiloh"

Hi, I just want to thank you for your work on Sirimavo Bandaranaike. I know you were working in the Women in Green project but nonetheless it is an important piece in the scope of Sri Lankan articles, and your efforts are much appreciated. I support the project and want to know how I can suggest some other Sri Lankan women in the project to be expanded to Good article status? I think Minnette de Silva is a great candidate for this, she is recognised as one of the most famous female architects in the world and Sri Lanka’s first modernist architect, among other accolades. Here is a recent biography about her. Her work and legacy is of real value to not only women but all architects in Asia and the world. Its a real shame her article is so poor. I'd like to find some support for this article. What do you think? Once again thanks!--Blackknight12 (talk) 14:17, 5 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-05T14:17:00.000Z","author":"Blackknight12","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Blackknight12-2019-01-05T14:17:00.000Z-Sirimavo_Bandaranaike","replies":["c-SusunW-2019-01-05T16:23:00.000Z-Blackknight12-2019-01-05T14:17:00.000Z"]}}-->

Blackknight12 Thank you so much. I truly enjoyed working on her. As you can see from the talk page on WIG, project members are very interested in diversifying the articles we work on to be more representative of our world and not so UK/US focused. There are lots of ways you can participate. Join the project, make suggestions on the talk page, start an article improvement and ask for collaborators. We often work in tandem, especially because finding sourcing is always the problem. It is often really important to have local contacts who know where to find them, as you did for Bandaranaike. Our 2019 goals are to try to nominate 20 suffragists and 20 other women. 40 is a huge goal, so we will need help to get there. De Silva looks like she would be a fabulous addition. I'm hip deep in Aletta Jacobs right now, but will be glad to try to help you improve de Silva in the future. If you want to get started right away, just post on the WIG talk page and ask for collaborators to help.
