Hello Lucy, this is just to appreciate your sharing on the knowledge circle. I have always been interested in creating spaces and engagement for women (researches online). I wish to create articles for women. I love Wikipedia most amongst all the Wikimedia project, probably because I love research. My issue will be seeking the list of women to create. I hope to make more impact. Ngostary2k (talk) 16:46, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your impressive beginning. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Alarichall submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

It is my pleasure to nominate Editor Lajmmoore to be this weeks Editor of the Week. This user has been a Wikipedian for just under two years, but in that time has created over 200 articles in English Wikipedia. Their start in life on Wikipedia doesn't seem to have been the easiest: their first two articles were deleted, but they were not put off, and rose above initial problems (with some [help from me]) to successfully recreate those articles and to create many more since with no difficulties. They have focused their efforts on extending Wikipedia's biographical coverage of women from the Global South, helping to correct a well known bias in Wikipedia's coverage. Where I have seen their editing work, I have been very impressed at their ability to track down and assimilate reliable information about important figures about whom information is not readily available on the Internet, including dealing with source materials in languages other than English (e.g. Aïcha Ben Abed, Paulina (wife of Pammachius), Fatima al-Suqutriyya). They have done their editing work in particular through active involvement in Women in Red (along with other projects), and notices on their talk page evidence a string of successes in getting pages they have created onto 'did you know?', again bespeaking their enthusiastic engagement with the wider Wikipedia community. I note too that they are doing a PhD and are contributing material to Wikipedia in the course of their research: User:Lajmmoore/PhD Research. I've had many PhD students of my own and, while all lovely people, they are uniformly fabulously reluctant to share their knowledge in this way. Lajmmoore points the way towards a more open future for academia, and a greater willingness among the gatekeepers of the world's knowledge to share it.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Women silversmiths

Not sure if this is the sort of thing that might be up your alley, but a couple of years ago I purchased this catalogue from the National Museum of Women in the Arts gift shop:

Philippa Glanville; Jennifer Faulds Goldsborough; National Museum of Women in the Arts (U.S.) (1990). Women Silversmiths, 1685–1845: Works from the Collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Thames and Hudson. ISBN 978-0-500-23578-2.

I've pretty well bled it dry of all the women in NMWA's collection (they claim to have the most extensive collection of silver by women silversmiths of any museum, which I quite believe), but there are a lot of other names listed, in case you ever want to follow it up. Not sure about notability, unfortunately, but at least it's a starting point.

Incidentally, if you ever do get to the Washington, DC area, I highly recommend NMWA for a visit - it's a fine little museum, very nicely done. One of my favorites in the city, honestly. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 17:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Hello. I noticed that someone with a masked IP published a false information about me here. A search on Google in English and Farsi clearly reveals that I am not a self-claimed thinker and artist as my biography has been published in the media. Moreover, several authors have published it in their books and many reviews on my works have also been published in journals. Some of these sedondary sources are available on the Web. The reason why this person with a hidden IP has published this false information about me on Wikipedia is that I have worked in different fields. However, as I explained here this hostility is not justified. As you have created this entry about me on Wikipedia, if he or she publishes again any false information about me, please remove it. Thanks. Taraneh Javanbakht — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.23.194.41 (talk) 12:32, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the message - I'm sorry I missed the vandalism. In case it happens again, I'll ask a few other editors to keep an eye on it as well. Lajmmoore (talk) 14:03, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Hi all. Perhaps add this information to the article talkpage? --Rosiestep (talk) 15:53, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I award you this barnstar in part because of your diligence in creating biographies about women who are associated with under-represented countries on English Wikipedia. But it's your creative depiction of this work, e.g. commons:File:Circular list of 20 countries with lowest % of biographies for women on EN Wikipedia - spring 2022.jpg, which amazes me with its awesomeness.

Hi, and wondering if you can help

I have been working on this draft for Onyx: Black Lesbian Newsletter for a couple years (lol). I just submitted it but I wondered if you could help me improve the article? I tried to find an image that I could use- there are a number floating around on library websites, for example SFPL but I wasn't sure if I could use them, & I'm also not sure how to insert images. Thanks! Fifthcoastbobcat (talk) 19:53, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fifthcoastbobcat, Congratulations! I remember you mentioning this page - so excellent its live! The library website link looks good to me - they are a trusted sources (I think). My other pro tip is to find sources using a search via Google Books, or Google Scholar. A quick scholar search showed https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J082v30n02_03 & https://www.jstor.org/stable/40545573 - lmk if you've got issues accessing them! Lajmmoore (talk) 07:44, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lajmoore

Thank you for your comments on my article on Wanjuhi Njoroge - they are very helpful as I am totally new to editing Wikipedia. I am a volunteer at the Science Musuem Group. I don't know how to get the article moved from Drafts but I can see on the Women in Red page that you seem to have it in hand. CuriosityScribe (talk) 09:49, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have discovered the article binabinaaine and add some minor infos from a Gilbertese point of view (te aine means simply the woman in Gilbertese, same word fafine in Tuvaluan). There is nothing in the article about binabinamwaane (women that acts like they are men), that exist in the Kiribati society but unfortunately I have never seen an English essay about this close category.--Arorae (talk) 10:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much Arorae - your edits are brilliant - they are really appreciated. You can add sources that aren't in English to the article, so if there's something in Gilbertese or another language then that would be a brilliant addition. It's something I had wondered about, but like you say - could not find a source. Lajmmoore (talk) 11:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar

It took me a year. I thought it would be a challenge to write a biog for a woman from every country in the world. I thought it might be quite hard, but I was wrong,it was just this side of impossible. I wrote an article for a top civil servant from Micronesia today and that was the missing jigsaw piece. So this is me underlining your achievement! Well done! Roger aka Victuallers (talk) 23:53, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

About attributing translations

Hey Lajmmoore! Thanks for creating Sardoine Mia, which I saw at DYK this morning. I wanted to let you know that when translating an article from another language Wikipedia, you must link to that article in the edit summary in addition to identifying which language it came from, which I see you did in these edits. Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia has more information about why this is required in order to comply with the CC-BY-SA license we use. If there are any other articles you've translated, please double-check that you've properly attributed them. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:48, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this reminder @TechnoSquirrel69and apologies for the delay in reply, I've been really busy. I ususally use the template box on the talk page when i translate Lajmmoore (talk) 08:50, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I believe I noticed when I reviewed a couple of your articles that you were using the {{Translated page}}, and under most other circumstances, that would be perfectly fine from the standpoint of Wikipedia procedure. However, as this section of the guideline explains, the CC-BY-SA license requires derivative works to have a list of authors as attribution, which Wikipedia typically complies with by adding a hyperlink either to the article itself or, in this case, its edit history. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:21, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to try to do some reviewing @Gog the Mild, and maybe put another in next year. I've learnt a lot from the process! Lajmmoore (talk) 10:41, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Another extract from my boilerplate:

Reviewers are more happy to review articles from people whose name they see on other reviews (although I should say there is definitely no quid pro quo system on FAC). Reviewers are a scarce resource at FAC, unfortunately, and the more you put into the process, the more you are likely to get out. Personally, when browsing the list for an article to review, I am more likely to select one by an editor whom I recognise as a frequent reviewer. Critically reviewing other people's work may also have a beneficial impact on your own writing and your understanding of the FAC process.

Feel free to start by reviewing my current FAC - Constans II

Hi Lucy, it's not normally done to add to another user's userpage, and I wouldn't do this for someone I didn't know personally, but I've found it helpful when other people have done it for me, so I hope this is okay. I've added some badges to the top of the page to show off that you've created quality content. Not every Wikipedian wants to display these; just undo the edit if you don't want them.

100!

Hi we've made 100 women.... you said "Just to add I'll be at Wikimania too!!! In terms of a book, I'll get back in touch with a publisher". Not sure I'm going to make Wikimania but I am thinking of a (vanity?) book. Now got over 100 women so can now think of finding the less interesting brits and yanks.

Proposed deletion of Wang Yungui

The article Wang Yungui has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

Removed unverifiable propaganda sources

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Go D.

June 2025

Hello, I'm Go D. Usopp. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Wang Yungui, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. More reliable sources over propaganda sites like People's Daily would be preferred. Go D. Usopp (talk) 05:35, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Go D. Usopp there's detailed rationale of the sources and why they can be considered reliable on the talk page of the article which was done as part of the DYK process. Please take a look. The rationale above is also slightly disingenious, as you removed all the sources in the article, not me! Lajmmoore (talk) 06:16, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Painshill (landscape garden in Surrey)

Hi @Lajmmoore:
I was wondering if I could ask you for some feedback on the Painshill article? I did some work to expand it earlier this year and am considering nominating it at WP:GAN. Landscape gardens are not my field of expertise, and I thought you might be a good person to consult, seeing as you successfully improved Stowe Gardens to WP:GA a couple of years ago.
Could I ask you to take a look at the Painshill page and to let me know if you think it has potential for a successful GA nomination please? I’d very much welcome your opinion on the article structure and on any additional points that you think I should try to include. I'd very much value your input. Thanks very much!

Question from RedSwordsmanNS (04:06, 13 August 2025)

Hey, I’m just trying to create a brief article/summary of a particularly unique and unusual psychological phenomenon/concept that I couldn’t find any sources or information on. It says I have to wait 4 days and make 10 edits; I don’t mind waiting. However, I have no inclination to make edits to others’ things. What should I do? --RedSwordsmanNS (talk) 04:06, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RedSwordsmanNS thanks for your enthusiasm for Wikipedia! What's the topic? what I would also say is that Wikipedia relies on references and citations to support the information and steer readers to find out more. if there are no sources, as you say, it sounds like original research. Wikipedia doesn't host original research, so I'd suggest you write about the topic elsewhere on other platforms. Lajmmoore (talk) 05:14, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! And thank you for the heads up! And the subject is something like a true sense of a mix of "feelings". It's not exactly a quick rush of emotion, it's a bit more precise. I'm not going to give all the details yet, which is why I'm being a bit vague. If I do post it I'll be sure to let you know or explain further. Thank you so very much for your time and patience, and I look forward to the time here. RedSwordsmanNS (talk) 06:55, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Czeus25 Masele - it's a tricky question, because I don't know how the notability criteria compare between Swahili wiki and English wiki e.g. one might be higher than the other, since there is variation between Wikipedias.

Need help with creating an article

Hello @Lajmmoore, I am working on creating a new article about the Devasthan Department of Rajasthan (a state government department that manages temples and religious endowments in Rajasthan).

I have added some sections like history, functions, and notable temples, but I am not sure if my draft meets Wikipedia’s notability and formatting guidelines. Could you please guide me on:

How to properly add references from government websites and news sources?
Whether a gallery of notable temples is suitable in the article?
Any improvements I should make before moving the draft to mainspace?

Thank you for your time and guidance! Sharmaji8 (talk) 14:15, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Sharmaji8 - thanks for the message - I took a look at the article and you can't just use the official website as a source. You need to find secondary sources about the department to demonstrate its notability.

Hi @Dineshdhiman26 thanks for the messages - like you I am a volunteer so can't always answer a message immediately. Unfortunately I agree with the article assessors - you need to supply reliable, secondary sources as citations that demonstrate that the conference is worthy of inclusion. Currently the draft does not. If its not been written about by secondary sources, then its unlikely it will be accepted. In addition, if you're organising the conference, then also writing an article for it would be a major conflict of interest (see WP:COI) and would not be appropriate editing. If you'd like to learn to edit, please start with articles that aren't connected to you. Lajmmoore (talk) 08:12, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ArtAngel2025 (21:03, 29 August 2025)

Hello, I created a page for my mother who was a 20th century master of art. I wanted to see if the page seems correct. I included links and some on the info such as her first husband is validated in Wikipedia on his own wiki page. --ArtAngel2025 (talk) 21:03, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ArtAngel2025 - the first thing to do is create a user page and declare that you have a conflict of interest with the article. Writing a Wikipedia article for a parent is a conflict of interest, see WP:COI. All the declaration needs to be is a statement on your user page for now. Secondly, every single sentence in the article has to be referenced by reliable, secondary sources. These can be newspapers, academic articles, reviews, see WP:RS for guidance. Also, other Wikipedia articles are not reliable sources, so I would remove that reference. Lajmmoore (talk) 18:56, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from JerryScotts (21:59, 30 August 2025)

Hi Lucy, Very nice to meet you. It's taken me a while to find my way around Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia as a contributor, and now as a fledgling editor.

I've just read your bio and I'm floored that someone so experienced and accomplished has been assigned as my mentor. Honestly, I'm honored for the opportunity to learn from you.

I've intentionally kept a low profile in the months since creating my account because I didn't wish to burden anyone. I've since learned how to use the image up-loader, and how to incrementally improve the meta data associated with the images I've posted.

My focus has obviously been peace symbols and expanding the category started by Gerald Holtom, based on the remarkable coincidence that Lagrange Points, a universal physical principal, would resemble Holtom's iconic work. And while I've received pushback from friends for the rather grandiose title, the fact that a peace sign has always been schematically present in every planetary system in the Universe suggests it's a rational choice.

My only question is: Are there find-ability improvements or corrections I can make for the images posted to Wikimedia Commons for anyone interested in peace signs?

I've found the only way to get a Google or AI search request to return any of the 'Universal Peace Sign' images is this ridiculously explicit search request:

   "Universal Peace Sign, JerryScotts, Wikimedia Commons"

I've even had to argue with ChatGPT and other AI's that an actual universal peace sign (or symbol) now exists.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance -- I look forward to working with you.

--JerryScotts (talk) 21:59, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @JerryScotts thanks for your enthusiasm for contributing to Wikimedia projects. I took a look at the text you added to the Peace symbols article, but there is a major issue: none of the content you added is referenced. Every sentence needs to be supported by a reliable, secondary source, see WP:RS. Please add these in. Lajmmoore (talk) 19:04, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lucy, Thanks for pointing that out. I assumed the inline links I've provided throughout, citing external sources (1-the Universal Peace image on Wikimedia Commons, 2-Lagrange Points and 3-Gerald Holtom), was sufficient. If I changed them to 'inline citations' will that address the problem? JerryScotts (talk) 07:32, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JerryScotts no, whilst those links to other Wikipedia articles, or Commons, these are not reliable, secondary sources. all the information needs to be supported by references from the wider literature, for example from academic articles on the topic. please add this information. Lajmmoore (talk) 17:03, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Thanks. I'll find suitable sources and create Inline Citations. JerryScotts (talk) 03:24, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've added what I believe are reliable sources and shortened my comments. JerryScotts (talk) 06:48, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Announcements:

Wikipedia:Developing Countries WikiContest runs 1 July 2025 until 30 September 2025

Tip of the Month:

Researching historical women writers who used pseudonyms requires careful investigation across multiple sources, as many women adopted pen names to avoid gender bias and judgment (e.g., being labeled a bluestocking) and, ultimately, to get published.

Progress ("moving the needle"):

The WikiProject Women in Red homepage is usually updated weekly, using the Humaniki tool. Sadly, Humaniki has been out of action since 23 June.

Question from User83942 (16:01, 4 September 2025)

Hi, I would like to know how would i go about getting my article published? --User83942 (talk) 16:01, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @User83942 thanks for your enthusiasm about contributing to Wikipedia. I took a look at the draft, but unfortunately I don't think the artist is notability enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, see WP:NOTABILITY. Even if they were, the infomation in the article needs to be evidenced by reliable secondary sources, see WP:RS. None of the sources used in the article support the claims, OR aren't reliable sources. For example citing Wikipedia for Arlighton does not prove that the subject of the sentence was born there. The article claims that the artitst "sits at the top of the Latin Billboard charts" but if I follow the link https://www.billboard.com/c/music/latin/ this doesn't mention the artist at all. If you think the sources exist, please do add them to the end of every sentence in the article. Once you've done this there's more to do! The article is extravagant in its praise - Wikipedia doesn't host text like this - everything has to be written from a neutral point of view, see WP:NPOV or even WP:PUFFERY. You'd need to remove all the hyperbolic language in the article. I hope this helps and that you can find a way to contribute, even if it is not with this article.

Hi @Hi2077j I took a look and the draft was deleted by Jimfbleak at 15:10 on 7 September 2025 under guidline G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: see WP:COI WP:RS WP:Notability (people)) . I can't see the article, so if you would like the article restoring that is a discussion between you and Jimfbleak. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:04, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's 9th Edit-a-thon

Hello Lajmmoore:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in October 2025!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2025, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event with the theme What Women Do! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 different occupations or professions (or broader roles in society) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Question from BashMusic (17:19, 23 September 2025)

Hello, my article was delcined due to my username not being from a reliable source, how do edit this? --BashMusic (talk) 17:19, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BashMusic ('scuse me, Lucy!) your submission was declined because you do not meet the criteria for inclusion. Wikipedia is for things (and people) that have been written about somewhere else, by someone else, first. We also don't allow autobiographies. You can ask in lots of different places and you might get a longer, more polite, answer from someone less jaded than me but the draft won't be accepted. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:33, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @HJ Mitchell and hello @BashMusic - just to repeat what is said above, for a topic to be notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, there needs to be signficant coverage from independent and reliable third party sources e.g. other people writing about it. However, and most important here, we can't write about ourselves - it's a major conflict of interest as it is almost impossible to be neutral about our own personal achievements. I'd encourage you to write about other topics. Lajmmoore (talk) 10:21, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To be more constructive read the five pillars and perhaps follow WP:ADVENTURE which walks you through lots of tools on Wikipedia.

Question from Stephen Spell (21:48, 19 October 2025)

Hi, I am just getting going so welcome any tips!

My main interest is correcting or enlarging the pages around scotland, scottish history and scottish arts institutions as these are currently quite poor. The 'tutorials' so to speak drive me into editing all kinds of materials - that may just be the way to learn i guess? Is that the best way? --Stephen Spell (talk) 21:48, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Stephen Spell - yes, it may seem counter-intuitive, but one of the best ways to learn how to edit is to edit articles you're not actually very interested in! it's becuase with those an editor is less likely to be partial, so it's easier to stay neutral when you are learning. You could take a look at WP:SCO which has a link to articles that need 'clean-up' - see here. You could also say hello on the WP:SCO talk page to meet other editors interested in similar topics.

Question from Arfrerick (13:26, 27 October 2025)

Good morning, A few days ago, I added something to the "chain store" page. I just tried to tweak it because I realized that I formatted my footnote wrong (I originally only put in the URL). I thought I corrected it, but then I got an email saying it had been removed. Any idea what I did wrong here? Should I not have clicked minor edit? Thanks, Austin --Arfrerick (talk) 13:26, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's perhaps to do with hyperlinking? e.g. linking this in the text. We don't tend to link to external websites in body text. Also, I see a couple of edits were connected to Sysco - if you have a conflict of inteterest e.g. they're your employer, it's really important to be transparent about it and note edit those pages. I mention it as its a really common thing that new editors do. Lajmmoore (talk) 20:04, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that response. I wasn't adding any hyperlinks to the text. Actually, my original cites were just hyperlinks, so I was going back in to add the publication name, date published, date retrieved, etc. As for Sysco, I've never worked there, but I have written about them in published news outlets. In fact, that is what I was doing. I was adding in facts from the published articles to the wiki pages. Is that ok? Arfrerick (talk) 19:55, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so self-citation is allowed @Arfrerick, and I'd recommend you read WP:SELFCITE. A key thing is "is not excessive" - that includes how often you cite yourself. It is frowned upon, for example, to only cite your own work, and to not cite that of other people's as well. I'd really encourage you to add references based on other people's work to improve articles while you're learning the ropes on Wikipedia, before citing yourself. One of the issues with self-citation, is that if you just cite yourself other editors might see it as a form of self-promotion, which then might also be construed as WP:COI or even a case of going against WP:NPOV. In essence, yes you can, but I would never encourage anyone to start editing by doing this and if that is a motivation for editing, I would certainly do it sparingly. Another nice thing to do is when you are citing yourself, leave a note in the edit summary box or on the talk page. Lajmmoore (talk) 20:28, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

is adequately sourced. There should be no less than three independent reliable sources for each
biography, including at least one source for each paragraph.

Progress ("moving the needle"):

Statistics available via various tools: previously, Humaniki tool; currently, QLever. Thank you if
you contributed one or more of the 20,473 articles created in the past year.

21 Oct 2024, 19.963% of biographies on EN-WP were about women (2,030,245 biographies; 405,305 women)
28 Oct 2025: 20.23% of biographies on EN-WP were about women (2,094,677 biographies; 423,778 women)

Mary "May" McGee

Hi Lucy, I don't often make DYK submissions but in this case I think that she is important enough to merit one, as well as it being topical because she died three days ago. Would you be able to drum up WIR support for the DYK? Many thanks and see you in Paris? Andrew. Roundtheworld (talk) 12:39, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you got a DYK for List of Intangible Cultural Heritage elements in Palestine, so I was wondering if you would be interested in reviewing it at FLC. If not, then that is of course fine. User:Easternsahara_{review and this} 02:41, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from 3arthSt0r (06:34, 9 November 2025)

Hey I've been working on updating Annie Turner Wittenmyer page but I messed up with one of the citation and I'm not sure how to fix it --3arthSt0r (talk) 06:34, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @3arthSt0r those edits look good. I fixed reference 5 - if you click the number it opens a box and if you scroll there's a line for URL - in there the URL was surrounded by coding to embed it, so I just removed that. I also put the stuff on marriage into the early life section. Personal life usually goes at the end of an article, but here it seemed pertinent for the rest of her achievements in the 1860s. If you're interested in editing about women, you'd receive a warm welcome at WP:WikiProject Women in Red Lajmmoore (talk) 08:24, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and request

Hello. I saw that you've left a review at the FLC of List of ICH elements in Palestine, so I thought you might also be interested in reviewing my older nomination of List of Intangible Cultural Heritage elements in Ukraine. You're the one who created the initial article, which really helped me with structuring the lead as well as the list itself when I started expanding it so I'd also like to thank you for that. Though, I understand if you don't have the time to review it since it turned out to be an enormous list. Thanks for your work regardless. Shwabb1 ⟨ta co⟩ 09:24, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all the improvements! I'll try and do it over the next few weeks. Lajmmoore (talk) 13:01, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I understand that you may be busy, and the list is really big as I've said, so no rush in leaving the review, but I'd really appreciate if you left a short comment on the FLC page so that the FL delegates don't close the nomination. Thank you. Shwabb1 ⟨ta co⟩ 14:35, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Hasainul Choudhury (16:30, 14 November 2025)

Hi please update me on my Wiki Page status --Hasainul Choudhury (talk) 16:30, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hello @Hasainul Choudhury, you can't write a Wikipedia article about yourself as its a massive conflict of interest, see WP:COI - the page won't be published I'm afraid Lajmmoore (talk) 20:17, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I understand that I cannot create or edit a Wikipedia article about myself due to conflict-of-interest guidelines. I respect and acknowledge WP:COI and the need for neutrality.

I would like to kindly request assistance from an experienced, independent Wikipedia editor to review my notability and, if appropriate, help create or improve a neutral, well-sourced article about me (Hasainul Arafine Choudhury).

I can provide reliable, third-party sources and published coverage if needed, but I will not write or edit the article myself. Please let me know if any further information or references are required from my side.

Thank you for your guidance and support.

Regards,

Hasainul Arafine Choudhury Hasainul Choudhury (talk) 14:16, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Curry review

Hi, many thanks for the review. You seem to have done what is needed; I always look over images and their captions to check relevance, suitability, and copyright status. Images are quite often on Commons without all the proper license tags; and captions can often be better focused, and may need to be cited. One other thing is that the GA team now likes reviews to state explicitly which citations they spot-checked, so that it can be seen at a glance that at least some have been verified. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:18, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for these pointers - I'll ensure I include a list of spot-checks of references in future. Is it useful to be more explicit about the image checking in the comments. I did look through them all, but the only thing I noticed was that the picture of a curry seemed to be in someone's kitchen, not a restaurant, but that seemed non-relevant in the grand scheme.

Question from WaddleBottle (20:31, 19 November 2025)

Hey! I'm new - any tips on deciphering what is and isn't an opinion? The line often feels fuzzy. Thank you! --WaddleBottle (talk) 20:31, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your question @WaddleBottle I do understand what you mean. I think when you're making you're first edits, just stick to things that are factual e.g. X was born in Y. Once you've got the hang of that, and want to include more qualitative information, one way to do it is to say "According to X (newspaper, academic,, etc.) Y was interpreted as Z ..." so you're supplying the where the information is from and reporting what the opinions was Lajmmoore (talk) 08:09, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AquaSeventeen (22:17, 21 November 2025)

Hello. I have looked at your account Wikipedia page, and I noticed 2 things. 1. I've noticed we are both from a similar area of the UK. I'm not sure whether this is on purpose from Wikipedia or not. 2. I've seen that you have a lot of success on Wikipedia and in real life, and I would like to congratulate you for that. With that being said, how have you got so many edits? Is it simple fixes, such as punctuation and typos, or is it more complicated things built up over time? --AquaSeventeen (talk) 22:17, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message @AquaSeventeen, its really nice to hear from you. I started with adding sentences to specific articles, but then went on to do longer edits. You'll find as your contribute you'll build up more and more, but edit count (although) it's something we track its not how other people will measure contributions, it's much more about the information you add to articles and the quality of those additions. Let me know if you have any questions! Lajmmoore (talk) 10:28, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ViennaEnergyResearch (10:43, 25 November 2025)

Hi, glad to meet you as my mentor. How can I make my page public? I have created and edited in the Sandbox, I do click Publish Changes, but it is still only in the sandbox.

Best regards, Igor --ViennaEnergyResearch (talk) 10:43, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ViennaEnergyResearch, are you connected with Intercomp GmbH? I ask because its very common for new editors to start with a topic they might have a conflict of interest with? See WP:COI. I took a look at the article, and you've done a great job with the formatting, but the article does read quite like a CV - we try to avoid bulleted lists for example. Plus, although there a range of sources, I'm not sure there's enough reliable secondary sources for the company to pass WP's notability guidelines WP:NOTABILITY. Also, we have strong guidance images, so a screenshot would only be allowed if the site itself had a CC BY image license. Simialrly for the group photo. If you do want to go ahead and try to publish it, there are instructions here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Your_first_article#Publish_directly however, if there is a COI I would definitely not advise you to do this, but rather send it for review: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Your_first_article#Ask_for_a_review Lajmmoore (talk) 11:32, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thank you for your quick and helpful answer.

Yes, I am an employee. Is that a problem? I tried to write it as objectively, and as neutral possible; and to support everything with independent sources. True, among 19 references, there are 3 to the company website; but I thought that is not forbidden - the company site too can be informative; and is just one among many other sources. There are Montel and Report.at citations, which are major, renowned energy media); then ECO Austria - Intitute for Economic Research, EXAA (the Austrian energy exchange) and E-Control Austria (which are governmental institutions); and also FAZ, Brutkasten, Audio-CD, Podcast.de, Trending Topics - other independent media, where Inercomp representatives were guests, but are in no way connected. Then also AWES (Austrian Wind Energy Symposium), If that is not allowed, I can remove those references. Regardless of me being an employee, that does not change the fact that the outcome is an informative description of the subject, exactly the mission of Wikipedia... Nevertheless, if that is a problem, should I somehow submit the article for a neutral assesment, before it is published? As for the bulleted lists - if they are an issue, I can use another format, whatever Wikipedia recommends for clarity and readability, for example text paragraphs. Regarding the screenshot and management photo: ok, I can send them for a review at the link you recommend.

Best regards, Igor ViennaEnergyResearch (talk) 12:03, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK great, thanks for being honest @ViennaEnergyResearch. The next thing to do is to read and follow WP:PAID which involves disclosing who your employer is. Then, yes, you would have to go through the review process. As a warning, there is a review backlog, so it can take several months for pages to be reviewed. Lajmmoore (talk) 12:54, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you. I will read the WP:PAID - I was not aware there is an obligation to disclose the employer; but I have no problem with it. (You see, I did no attempt to hide it when you asked.) Why would being employed be something negative, if the text is not advertising and not subjective. Of course the company itself has the best overview and records of all media mentions and references - how could a random outsider have a better or more informed view.

Ok, so it is clear we want full transparency. Next steps are that I carefully analyse that document; and comply with any obligations to disclose an employer or similar. What worries me, are these several months of waiting... if there is a way to make it quicker and easier for th reviewers, please advise.

And again, thanks a lot for the guidance and help.

Best regards ViennaEnergyResearch (talk) 13:19, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @ViennaEnergyResearch, yes so the terms wee ask for paid editors (& i have followed them myself) are rigourous because there are many examples of people trying to manipulate Wikipedia for commercial ends (one example was an outdoor wear brand planting photographs of people wearing their clothes across Wikipedia articles) - of course that's not what you're doing. However, if you are employed by an organisation it can be challenging to be neutral about them. Often companies request that negative press about them is removed by Wikipedia editors. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia foremost, so it's really important to think about what is encyclopaedic and what is promotional (e.g. for museums, listing opening times is not encyclopaedic). I mean there isn't really a way to reduce the waiting time, the vast majority of editors are volunteers, it just depends if the people who are reviewing choose to take a look at this article. We're all doing it as volunteers because we believe in open knowledge, but that doesn't mean any editor is beholden to look at anything in any order. Lajmmoore (talk) 13:32, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

9Hi @Lajmmoore, thanks again for your guidance and for flagging the COI/paid editing points.

I have now:

Added a paid-contribution disclosure on my user page using the paid template, naming Inercomp GmbH as employer/client.
Added a note on the draft’s talk page using connected contributor (paid).
Revised the sandbox draft to reduce what I assumed could be understood as CV / brochure elements and write even more in a neutral, encyclopedia style.
Submitted the sandbox via Articles for Creation so that independent reviewers can decide on notability and article readiness.

If you notice anything obviously off in the current draft structure (e.g. still too product-focused, or weak sourcing in a specific section), I’d appreciate your advice, but I also understand there is a backlog and that reviewers are volunteers.

Another open task for me is defending and proving the rights for the 2 pictures. I will add the correct licence on the site for the photo. Try to explain that deleting a photo, taken by a company employee (which is legally the ownership of the company according to Austrian Law), in the company premises, of the company management, is truly overkill and actually harming the sread of information. I will also try to give arguments why a screenshot from the software should be accepted. (A photo of the company's entrance is accepted on Wikipedia - why not a screenshot of an Overview Report? That is analogy of an entrance in the digital world. It is 2025, we cannot rely only on photos of physical objects. It is just a screenshot, no added explanation boxes, no highlights, no edits. The screenshot exists on the company we page and anyone could copy it, including non-employees. Also, any user could log-in and take a screenshot.)

Best regards,

Igor / User:ViennaEnergyResearch ViennaEnergyResearch (talk) 16:21, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ViennaEnergyResearch thanks for being conscientious with these requests. On the final point on the screenshot - it's really related to the image licensing we have. Wikipedia requires CC-BY-SA licensing - which include commercial use - so by releasing a screenshot of the web page you're essentially saying to all other companies "you could use this screenshot" as part of your business. I would suggest you don't do it, despite the feeling that would be useful for readers to see (as you explain). This guide is useful. Lajmmoore (talk) 09:15, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
