Ordering of articles on the Articles created page

Victuallers brings up a good point here... chron order makes more sense than alpha. What do you think about re-sorting the Articles created page in chron order? --Rosiestep (talk) 16:36, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

• Support per Victuallers. Early on after this project was created, there was limited discussion about new article ordering (by nationality? by genre? etc.) on this project talkpage with no consensus. Alpha seemed easiest, but in retrospect, it's not the common choice... most projects list their new articles in chron order. Re-sorting by month will take some effort but not insurmountable. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:36, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

New categories within the scope of this WikiProject (#3)

New categories within the scope of this WikiProject (#3)

3 Just created Category:Basque women writers and Category:Communist women writers; also Category:Women lexicographers which could use AWB instead of going through all the nationalities by hand. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:18, 30 November 2014 (UTC) OK - I won't have a chance until later today at the earliest, but I'll look at it with AWB and see what I can do. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:51, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

All three have been filled out with AWB. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 07:02, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Just recreated Category:British women screenwriters which had been previously deleted. I added some bios to it but if you can flesh out the rest of them from Category:Women screenwriters, that would be great. I wanted to recreate Category:French women screenwriters as many of the bios in Category:Women screenwriters are French... maybe later this week, and maybe Category:Australian women screenwriters and Category:Canadian women screenwriters later this week also. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Sure. I'll give 'em a look when I can. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:57, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

British and French are done. I'll look at the other two when I have a future moment. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 07:05, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Canadian and Australian are done also. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:12, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Good job. We could also use Category:German women screenwriters. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:10, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Done and done. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 07:06, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I created Category:Norwegian women novelists; can you AWB it? --Rosiestep (talk) 05:11, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Done. Also created and done: Category:Norwegian women poets. They need some cleaning up yet, but I'll get to that later. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

I created {{cl|[[:Category:Women music writers}}; can you AWB it? --Rosiestep (talk) 02:53, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Sure. I'll get to it in the next day or so sometime. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:03, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Done. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:08, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I've created Category:Namibian women writers. Category:Central African Republic writers is ripe for expansion. At the moment I can find no women writers from the country to write about...that would be an interesting choice to follow up on. Especially as fodder for a DYK entry, perhaps? --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 10:15, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

I'll do some research and see if we can rectify that. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Another: Category:Swazi women writers. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 06:52, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

And a Christmas present: Category:Gabonese women writers. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 22:56, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Category:Equatoguinean women writers is now up and running as well. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 06:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Over the weekend, I'll start on Category:Australian women short story writers, Category:Canadian women short story writers, Category:French women short story writers, and Category:German women short story writers in the next few days; if it makes sense to create additional ones, I'll do that, too, and add here. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:59, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I'll run behind you with AWB, then. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 06:40, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

First run of AWB done. I'll run through and try to pick some other stuff up later. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:15, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

I've created Category:Nigerien women writers. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 06:09, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

I created Category:Spanish women short story writers and I filled it with a few but AWB might find others. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:54, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Didn't find many. Added a few. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:01, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

A new creation: Category:Ethiopian women writers. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:32, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Four more: Category:Vanuatuan women writers (a bit surprising), Category:Fijian women writers, Category:Nauruan women writers (also a bit surprising), and Category:Papua New Guinean women writers. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:43, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

And Category:Cape Verdean women writers. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:16, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

It's been a little while - but I created Category:Jordanian women writers and Category:Kuwaiti women writers today. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 21:58, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for that, Ser. I created Category:Galician women writers. This weekend, I'll pull together all the new cats for another bot run. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:06, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Bot run #3 hasn't been requested yet, so this conversation should be moved up into New categories within the scope of this WikiProject (#3). --Rosiestep (talk) 03:09, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Created Category:Kuwaiti women novelists. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:32, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I've updated the list within this section to include all (I hope) of the newly-created cats. Please review and if the list looks ok, I'll make a request for Bot Run #3. Does anything need to be added or removed? Thanks. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Mary Berry

The naming of the articles Mary Berry, Mary Berry (food writer), Mary Berry (writer) are under discussion, see talk:Mary Berry (food writer) and talk:Mary Berry (writer) -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 06:03, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Category discoveries

I discovered Category:Female Togolese writers while looking for categories to create earlier today. At the very least it needs retitling to bring it into line with the others under the project, no? --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:22, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

I moved it to Category:Togolese women writers. Thx! --Rosiestep (talk) 01:51, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Any time. I'm on the lookout for anything else we should be aware of. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 06:39, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Popcat

If you notice a cat with few entries -- you be the judge of what's "few" -- please add {{popcat}} to the cat. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:03, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Non-free images at Eleanor Hibbert

There's currently a dispute on how many non-free images should be used in the article on Eleanor Hibbert, focusing on whether those images meet the non-free content criteria. Community input at Talk:Eleanor Hibbert#Non-free images would be appreciated (as well as more general help with that article, I believe). Huon (talk) 19:14, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
