Thank you for doing this @Gerda Arendt and Gog the Mild:. Is it weird for me to support, or is that a normal part of the process? Seems like I am endorsing myself? The blurb seems fine, even if "The women′s conference was convened after the war to introduce women′s issues to the process" is a bit redundant. I'm afraid if one replaced the 2nd women with their, it would be unclear and could be read to be issues of the Central Powers.

No problem. Yes it is normal for you to support get in there! I agree re it needing both "women's", even if it does look odd. I have given the blurb a couple of tweaks you will want to check.

The procedure is as follows (which I had forgotten myself): as soon as an article receives the FA star, Dank writes a blurb on the FAC's talk. And thank you for doing that, Dan! Discussion can begin right then. Now that the TFAR is open, I think to discuss there is fair. Dan, you will know that it's Susun's first FA, so first FAC. Susun, you don't have to support but it's normal. The days of counting "votes" there, and calculating other features such as rareness, are past, and I haven't seen any reasonable request fail in a long time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:13, 26 January 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-01-26T17:13:00.000Z","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-2020-01-26T17:13:00.000Z-Gog_the_Mild-2020-01-26T16:42:00.000Z","replies":["c-Dank-2020-01-26T17:23:00.000Z-Gerda_Arendt-2020-01-26T17:13:00.000Z"]}}-->

Dank, thank you. As is quite clear from the list of articles I have written, I do focus mostly on historical women ;). Promoting them is hard for me, but the writing part and researching part is enjoyable and allows me to learn so much about the gaps in our knowledge about women's history. I rely on people like Gog and Gerda to help me along in introducing them to a broader audience.

Hi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs!

Thanks Susun! Yes "contest" isn't the point, that's partly why I've not bothered with a Wikimedia grant request for a larger prize fund. While a larger prize fund is more attractive it was clear from the Women contest that very few contestants are only doing it just for money. I hope this will give editors motivation to improve existing articles which are often neglected. Editors are welcome to obliterate C-B class articles and bios which are poorly sourced and rewrite it, so even if you did a few articles on some particularly notable women redrafted that would be warmly welcome. If there is significant WIR support I may allow new bios to be created as part of it, but it is a Destubathon, we badly need a mechanism for people to work on existing content too.

As you know, this goes along with my modus operandi, Dr. Blofeld, quality over quantity any day. If we can improve the quality of the articles we already have, everyone gains.

Thanks for all your work on these topics. This article seems to have a couple of typos that would be better fixed by someone who knows the subject: Clarke's slave is alternately named 'Staira'/'Satira' (not sure which is correct) and I'm assuming "She manumitted a slave name Scipio there in 1810" is just meant to read "slaved named Scipio"? (I was quite confused when I read it since I didn't know what manumitted meant.)

@Ipigott and CaroleHenson: I need to finish Henrietta Sala, and though I am really uncomfortable doing GA reviews, I get that I need to learn the skill involved.

I'd rather not get sucked into a discussion on the talk page, but I would advise you stick to your guns about the possible inclusion of the table. It's terrible. Awful. It breaches the MoS and the article wouldn't have got through FAC with it on the page - and that should tell you enough about how bad it is! The changes to the image captions is something to consider, as it will change the gallery into something that holds relevant information as well as the images. I don't push the point tho: I will leave it to your discretion as to whether you decide to action it or not. Maybe Gog or Ipiggot will have a view on whether it's a good idea or not - both are excellent editors and will be able to advise accordingly.

I'll take a more careful look at the translated nouns tomorrow but I can't see there are any major problems. As for Sandy's table, in its earlier stages the article simply contained a list of the participants and I suggested it would be far better expressed as running text (as it is now). At one point there was a suggestion that it might be useful to include a table in the form of a separate article but not as part of the article itself. I agree with SchroCat that things are far better left as they are. Maybe one or two minor changes could be made but nothing drastic.--Ipigott (talk) 16:55, 12 February 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-02-12T16:55:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ipigott-2020-02-12T16:55:00.000Z-SusunW-2020-02-12T16:13:00.000Z","replies":["c-Ipigott-2020-02-13T07:30:00.000Z-Ipigott-2020-02-12T16:55:00.000Z"]}}-->

The main problem seems to be italics for the names of foreign institutions. I've checked a number of reliable style guides and discover that Sandy is quite right: the names of foreign institutions should not be italicized. I've therefore removed the italics where necessary.

As you have noticed, I did a bit of work on this on the Inter-Allied Women's Conference but I also tried to sort out the italics problem on most of the other articles on women's organizations. Many have been caused by Template:Lang (which italicizes unless you tell it not to) but others are a result of my own misinterpretation of internationally accepted rules. There may be further cleaning up to do.

Ipigott I think it will be a massive job to change them all. Just contemplating the number of foreign women I have written about and the number of organizations that belonged to is overwhelming.

Hi, I could still nominate your article for GA tonight or tomorrow. I came up with this hook:

• ... that Nino Tkeshelashvili, an early Georgian feminist, hosted debates in which women discussed social issues such as prostitution, education for the poor, and women's health and sexuality?

But I don't see these topics in the sources. I only see her involvement in the Caucasian Women's Society in Beraia. I ran the Georgian text through Google Translate but don't see any of the topics of the debates.

Thank you! I don't think that familysearch.org is a RS, though. I'm also having a big dilemma about her birth and death dates. I asked for a volunteer at Find a Grave to take a picture of her gravestone to verify the dates, and they did so pretty quickly—see here. The problem is that the gravestone lists her dates as 1909–1947. Her niece, who put up the Find a Grave page, lists the dates as 1908–1946. And most media reports say she died at the end of 1946 at the age of 30—but that would be impossible, seeing as her father died in 1912. Now I'm stumped. What do you do if there is so much conflicting evidence?

Yoninah FamilySearch is definitely a reliable source. It is actual photocopies of actual primary records. That tombstone helped a lot (even though wp does not think Find-a-Grave is a reliable source). I did a search on FamilySearch with William Homer Walker as father and Eva Mary Perry as mother for births between 1903 and 1912. 3 results: William Jr. 23 June 1903 (line 2); John E. 29 March 1907 (#2262); and unknown female 31 July 1908 (5 up from the bottom). All 3 show father as a lawyer and parents living at the same address of 38 Arlington Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, the city where each child was also born. So, clearly the 1908 date is correct. Her death certificate says she died on 23 December 1946 at 3:40 p.m. (You don't have to pay to create a sign-in for family search and see the records).

Thanks. It's obviously her, as it lists the parents, and we have that obituary that says they had only one daughter. But what about the birth year? Is it 1908 or 1909?

Dr. Blofeld, I understand why the bio on Tupou is in the shape that it is. I can find snippets of info, but none of the major works on her are available on line to me. Elizabeth Wood-Ellem's book Queen Salote of Tonga: The Story of an Era 1900-1965 based on Wood-Ellem's doctoral thesis, is from what I can discover the most authoritative book on her life and politics. Margaret Hixon's Sālote: Queen of Paradise is a more intimate view of Tupou's biography. I think that if one wanted to truly make a comprehensive article, access to those would be necessary. I have no way to access to either of these books and have no public libraries anywhere near to me. Perhaps as you say Kavebear has better ways and means to develop the article?

Hi again. Every time I watch an old movie, I look to see if I can improve an article about one of the (usually) child actors. I was able to connect this living person with his current career as a real estate agent, but I am missing verification of his birthdate, birthplace, parents, how he got into acting, etc. Would your Newspapers.com subscription turn up any biographies or interviews of him?

On 22 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nino Tkeshelashvili, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Nino Tkeshelashvili and other early Georgian feminists campaigned to uphold women's "moral standards", labeling prostitution a "social evil"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nino Tkeshelashvili. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Nino Tkeshelashvili), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Yay! My renewal request for Newspapers.com was granted, though it will take a few weeks to process. Meanwhile, I just created this article about a child actress. I'm wondering if you can find any newspaper clippings about her graduating from North Hollywood High School, or signing as a contract player to dance in Hollywood films. Once she moves to Las Vegas in 1952, she's known as Lee Kuney and then marries Arthur (Buddy) Grover; it would be nice to find some kind of wedding announcement. I already have what I need after her second marriage to Kenneth Feldman in 1972.

@ SusunW Hello,

Requesting to add article Aurat March to your 'watch list'.

While I am steadily working on article to improve further as suggested in notification template. Article has come across 1'st anon vandalism attack (clearly of misogynist nature), which has now been reversed.

Please see if you can add article Aurat March to your 'watch list' at least until 12/15 March so any repetition of intentional vandalism can be duly reversed.

Thanks & warm regards

I also noted that thanks to Yoninah, Kateryna Skarzhynska was made it to DYK nomination for Easter. Thanks for that suggestion. I love learning about these women.

Hi, I nominated this for DYK. The source about her changing the language from German to English doesn't seem to say that she re-translated it, but that she deliberately wrote it in English. Is that correct? Or do you have another source that says her doctoral thesis submitted in 1942 was a re-translation?

Yoninah Treija (2019) says she "purposefully chose to change her dissertation language from German to English". Clearly to me indicates that it was in German and she changed it, but there isn't any more precise language. All the other sources just say it was in English and she did a shorter abbreviated translation to Latvian.

OK, so that means to me that she was planning to write it in German (maybe that was the acceptable language then?) and she purposely chosen to write it in English instead. So I think the article and hook language are ok.

Yoninah, I think your text is fine. She worked on it for many years, so my guess is that the initial proposal was at least made in German, otherwise, one wouldn't "change" it. Thank you so much for nominating this one and Skarzhynska. You are so much better at it than I am.
