Selection criteria: WikiProject Women's History
Hi. I see you are putting WikiProject Women's History banners on opera singers, such as Kirsten Flagstad and Isobel Baillie. May I ask what your selection criteria is? Thanks and regards.--Kleinzach 05:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- The WP:WMNHIST is fairly new, and I think right now we're just looking to identify a good range of biographical and other entries that would fall under a women's history rubric. The history of women in the arts is certainly one of the areas we're interested in covering. As for criteria, we're mostly not tagging biographical entries of living people right now (though there are some exceptions). Penny Richards (talk) 14:12, 9 February 2011 (UTC)Penny Richards
- I'd recommend not tagging biographies that are unrelated to women's history. (Flagstad for example was apolitical.) We've had problems in the past with banner spamming. It's generally regarded as a nuisance. I think it would be better if you were selective, bannering articles that needed the attention of your project or were relevant to it. Thanks. --Kleinzach 02:37, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
