A note

Hi. I'd like to participate. For example by contributing articles about significant women in the history of the disciplines of Anthropology or Linguistics, or the histories of Mexico or Denmark - the areas in which my expertise lies. I just don't really have any ideas right now. If you think of something I might contribute please feel free to contact me on my talkpage. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 20:54, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of lists

Someone left a message on WikiProject Comics about WikiWomen's History Month. If someone would like to help there are several articles about female comics creators to be started here and more in the list.--Cattus talk 22:14, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's also some articles that might be worth translating: fr:Femmes et salons littéraires, fr:Épistolière, fr:Prix Marguerite Audoux and fr:Prix République du Glamour.--Cattus talk 22:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are probably many historical women writers at fr:Catégorie:Femme de lettres française that don't have an article on English Wikipedia.--Cattus talk 22:53, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not directly related to women's history, but I just noticed there is no List of women. It could look something like the List of lists of films, with links to other, more specific lists.--Cattus talk 23:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be a good idea. There are dozens of Lists of women on Wikipedia. It should probably be titled List of lists of women though. Kaldari (talk) 06:47, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. On a related thing, I'm creating a Template:Lists of women by occupation, but it's propably going to get too large, so I was thinking about dividing it by area, like a Template:Lists of women in the arts. Any thoughts?--Cattus talk 12:38, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi folks. I was bold and I've started this List of lists of women. PLEASE edit away! I'm working on adding things, it's just tough to organize. Be bold! :) SarahStierch (talk) 20:36, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking to help

  • Hi there, I'd like to help with current activities. Since I have not yet quite sure what is all about for that I need a little advice. I would like to do few translations of articles at my local Wikipedias (serbocroatian, serbian). Where can I find most relevant articles not yet translated? I do not think universaly most relevant but maybe most interesting by your personal opinion because I am not familiar enough. If someone answer, let me know on my wall to please. Good luck.--MirkoS18 (talk) 19:39, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, I wish to inform you that I came to the new idea how I will take part in WikiWomen's History Month. I "created personal project" called "Feminine face of the Balkans" where I will draw several portraits of famous women from Western Balkans that do not have pictures available at wikipedia. Of course images will not be very high quality because I have no art education, but I will give my best. On my profile I will soon make gallery with new pictures so if someone wants to join she/he is more than welcome.--MirkoS18 (talk) 00:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mirko! That is so cool! I love that idea and I can't see what you create. What types of subjects interest you? Perhaps we can brainstorm some women's articles in English (i.e. biographies) that can be translated into Serbocroatian/Serbian. My brother is Serbian, so I'm even happier to have you involved in this :) SarahStierch (talk) 02:06, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Ancient Greece

Women in Ancient Greece is a good article on the Spanish Wikipedia: es:La mujer en la Antigua Grecia.--Cattus talk 00:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More articles, this time in the French Wikipedia. Some might be more useful than others:
Women's cinema needs a lot of work.--Cattus talk 18:03, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As does List of women firsts.--Cattus talk 23:09, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sybil Plumlee

Inspired by WikiWomen's History Month (though I am not female), I am working on an article for Sybil Plumlee, a female police officer who became the oldest living member of the Portland Police Bureau. This spunky woman deserves an article and I hope that as a subject she meets notability requirements. The article is still under construction but once completed will hopefully benefit the project and encyclopedia. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:54, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I created stubs for Lola Baldwin and Penny Harrington, both of whom deserve articles. Hope to expand soon. --Another Believer (Talk) 17:30, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Great! I added Baldwin and Harrington to the to-do list page, too! And we don't care what gender you are - I'm just happy to have you participate! SarahStierch (talk) 17:42, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Both articles would make great additions to the encyclopedia. I have finished the Sybil Plumlee article, for now (using online resources), so hopefully I can move on to another one soon. Not sure if you have a "WikiWomen's History Month" template for talk pages or not, but feel free to tag them as all three were inspired by this project. --Another Believer (Talk) 00:46, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

to-do list

Hi everyone! I have created a to-do list. PLEASE expand! Wikipedia:WikiWomen's History Month/To-do list SarahStierch (talk) 16:02, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just added about 50 missing women artists from the Grove Dictionary of Art. My intent was to stub them all out by the end of the month, but I've only done around 20 so far, so any help would be appreciated. Lithoderm 07:19, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eliza Barchus

Just pointing out and complimenting Finetooth's work on the Eliza Barchus article, which (I assume was) inspired by the WWHM message posted at WikiProject Oregon. --Another Believer (Talk) 04:40, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps overlooked articles

Looking around for interesting & perhaps overlooked articles for whatever means you use to feature them. I personally enjoyed learning about Mabel Stark... So far found:

WP Women's History in the Signpost

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Women's History for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 01:16, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

France

Hélas le wiki francophone devient de plus en plus rétrograde au niveau des conditions de l'ensemble des femmes françaises et le wikipédia francophone sera absent de l’événement . Le projet des femmes est en dormance et inactif sur le Wiki de langue française. Les gros machos français néo-nazis sont trop présent sur le wiki francophone, Vive la France libre du machisme , Vive les Femmes françaises sportives elles sont merveilleuses Tous avec les filles . Je m'excuse pour les amies anglophones, je n'écris pas en langue anglaise fr:Utilisateur:Bon hein, alors euh...
je crois dans ma démarche qu'il n'y a plus aucune place pour les femmes sur wikipédia française. J'ai été extrêmement déçue du comportement des femmes françcaises qui se disent féministes et solidaires des autres femmes. En fait Wikipédia devient un monde masculin et nous devrions toutes démissionnes du wiki de langue française mais je ne suis responsable que de ma propre personne. alors responsable de ma personne j'ai été bammie du wiki francophone et je dénoncerai le wikipédia francophone comme un monde mâle. I believe in my approach that there is no more place for the women on french wikipedia . I was extremely disappointed by the behavior of the french women of France who say to themselves feminist and united the other women. In fact Wikipediq becomes a male world and we should quite resigned but I am responsible only for my own person. Bonne chance dans ce monde masculin --Cordialement féministe ♀ Cordially feminist Geneviève (talk)

Merci Kaldari, je déplore la censure entre femmes. Mais j'ai déjà quitté Wikipédia pour son climat trop masculin. In maintaining English language I regret the censorship between us women. But I have now left Wikipedia for his male ice hockey climate. The wiki of France is men people shall see you, anyway I shall not be any more here. paix pour vous tous. Peace for you all, Frieden für Sie alle
