[Untitled][edit]

Created the article as part of the WikiProject Women in Red July's challenge to write about women who rock. Redirected Susan MacMillan Emry to the new article.AnaSoc (talk) 04:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Would be especially nice if we could find a graphic to go along with the article.AnaSoc (talk) 04:28, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

A concern has been raised about notability of the Rock the Slut campaign. A google search of news articles about the campaign netted ten news articles written in 2012 including: NY Daily News; Politico; HuffPo; Bust Magazine; Jezebel; The Daily Caller; Black America; Time; ABC; and India Times. Other articles are also archived in News Bank, and there are apparently dozens of blogs that have discussed the campaign, Emry, and her book. The website for the campaign has apparently been taken offline--an error message (7-7-18) makes me wonder if the site has possibly been vandalized? The Time article said that there were 3000 people who liked the Facebook page when the article was written in 2012; now there are nearly 90,000 people who follow the Facebook site. This campaign is part of an overall reclamation project of the word slut, e.g. Slut Walks. I believe that the new article is therefore about a notable topic.AnaSoc (talk) 23:37, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added wikilinks to this article on three other Wikipedia articles to address the notability issue: Rush Limbaugh; Sandra Fluke; and Sandra Fluke-Rush Limbaugh controversy. Any other ideas?AnaSoc (talk) 00:40, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like advertisement[edit]

This was a valid critique, so I tweaked the language. I also added additional citations.AnaSoc (talk) 23:39, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
