== Test Kaffeeklatsch area for women-only ==

Since [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/WikiProject_Women WikiProject Women] as proposed at the IdeaLab may take some time to realize, and based on a [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IdeaLab/WikiProject_Women#best_practice.3F discussion on the proposal's talk page], I have started a test [[User:Lightbreather/Kaffeeklatsch|Kaffeeklatsch]] area for women (cis, lesbian, transgender) only. If interested, your participation would be most welcome. [[User:Lightbreather|Lightbreather]] ([[User talk:Lightbreather|talk]]) 19:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Women's football task force cleanup listing

The cleanup listing is available here. There are a couple of templates that can be used to add the listing to a page documented here. Direct links are fine too. Sorry for the delay. I just took over the bot operation. --Bamyers99 (talk) 20:23, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bamyers99: Thanks a million. Can you remind me how often it's updated? Hmlarson (talk) 21:47, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Abby Wambach GA

Belatedly, I wanted to congratulate on your successful Good Article nomination of the Abby Wambach article. As a three-time graduate of the University of Florida, she is a subject near and dear to my heart -- a subject that was clearly deserving of the hard work that you so obviously dedicated to improving the article. I have been mostly inactive over the past year, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover the vastly improved content of Abby's article. I wish I had been around to help! Cheers.

Assistance with Rachel Anderson

You very kindly agreed to comment on my proposal re Rachel. Below is my first draft of the section I propose to put into the PFA article.

==Sexism Controversy==
In 1997 some Sheffield United players invited their agent, Rachel Anderson, to the annual awards dinner(ref). Anderson was turned away by then PFA vice-chair(? - check job title) Brendon Baxton (? - spelling) because she is a woman.(ref)
The following year when West Ham United F.C. player Julian Dicks invited Anderson(ref) to attend the dinner, Anderson contacted the PFA to find out what their reaction would be(ref). Upon receiving a response that she would indeed be banned, Anderson decided to go public and take the PFA to court.(ref) As a result the Minister for Sport, Tony Banks, and the General Secretary (? - check job title) of the Football Association, Graham Kelly (?spelling) boycotted the event(ref).
Anderson won in court and the financial cost to the PFA was considerable (find amount and breakdown).(ref)
Sixteen years later the PFA instituted an award for the PFA Women's Players' Player of the Year(ref). Kim Little was the recipient in its first year.(ref)

Obviously I will find the references and check the various job titles and spellings as well as the financial cost to the PFA. Thank you once again for your assistance. Wilmot1 (talk) 06:52, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilmot1: Looks good! I made some minor edits above. Hmlarson (talk) 16:31, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you!! I have incorporated your edits and made some more of my own. The paragraph is now inserted Now for the big job, the Rachel Anderson article, she's quite a character!!!! Oh, and do you think an article on Martha Harris is warranted? Wilmot1 (talk) 06:51, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Wilmot1: Awesome! Yes re: Harris. Plenty of reliable refs for WP:GNG 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Hmlarson (talk) 16:33, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

USWNT U-17

United States women's national under-17 soccer team

Hmlarson, you appear to be one of the more reliable and experienced editors of women's soccer/football material on Wikipedia, so I'm hoping you'll be able to guide me through some trouble I'm having keeping the USWNT U-17 page accurate. A user, Markofwalburgh, has been continually editing the roster of the team to include a 'Marisol Guerrero' in place of various players, despite my (and other) attempts to keep the roster listed as it is by US Soccer. After several times reverting the edits, I posted the following on their 'talk' page, but do not know what to do about getting them to stop or cite their changes if they do not cede to my request. Please advise.

In regards to your recent edits replacing Gabriella Carreiro with Marisol Guerrero on the team, you need to cite your source if we are to accept it. Also, due to the lack of media attention to the U-17 receives and the relatively few number of matches they play, the Wikipedia page doesn't update the roster for every camp they have and typically has left the listed roster from the previous World Cup or CONCACAF Championship tournament, which is why many of the names listed are not currently on the team as they have presumably moved up to the U-20 level. US Soccer lists in several locations that Gabriella Carreiro was on that roster and that Marisol Guerrero was not.[1]

If you would like to keep the roster current, please feel free to do so responsibly. US Soccer gives the roster for a tournament about a month ago; however, it does not list Marisol Guerrero on it[2] and neither does the camp invites listed back in January[3] or June.[4] If you have a credible source that says otherwise, please share it.

Thank you for the help. - Golfingwino (talk · contribs)

@Golfingwino: If the edit warring continues with unsourced edits, you may want to seek assistance from a productive-minded admin familiar with football articles like @The Rambling Man:. The editor you mentioned appears to be very new and only contributing to the U-17 article. Hmlarson (talk) 17:05, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know...

Did you know that you are a member of Category:Female Wikipedians (yeah!) but your Internationalisation preference is not set to "She edits wiki pages"? You can change that if you wish. (Remember to scroll down and click "Save" if you do.) Lightbreather (talk) 00:01, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Got it - thanks. Hmlarson (talk) 18:30, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Holly Hein, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
