Dorothy Olsen FAC
About 5 years ago, I started Dorothy Olsen (I don't remember if this was a WIR project or not). Olsen was a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, a group of women civilian pilots flying ferry and training missions for the US military during World War II. It's a FA candidate now. Please take a look and leave comments on the review page, thanks. RoySmith (talk) 14:01, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Mary Alice "Micky" Dwyer-Dobbin
Mary's bio is missing a husband. She was also married to Walter Edward Brunty in 1980 in Baton Rouge, LA. They divorced Aug 1991. Then she went back to NY and remarried Leon. There are a lot of newspaper articles about them in LA. A shariff and a mortgage company were trying to find in her 1993. I have her in my tree in Ancestry. 2600:1702:3650:CCC0:B894:858E:E669:7B04 (talk) 03:08, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Women's month categorization drive
Hello. In honor of women's month, there is a categorization drive. You can help populating the Category:Women's firsts, which would be appreciated. Special attention is needed in the categories with only one or very few entries. Sincerely, --Thinker78 (talk) 05:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Just created two articles in scope with helping women's presence in Wikipedia
Hello, I just created to articles, but has tags on them. Perhaps someone could take a look at them, other than myself (since I created them). The one with the categorization tag, I don't know how to put or make a categorization in code for an article page.
Brenda Cárdenas Thomae <-- This one has a tag that it needs revision on grammar and tone.
Chimalxochitl II <-- This one has a tag that it needs categorization

Maybe interesting? - Geomapped Femicide in Ireland 1922 - 2022
Dear WikiProject Women editors, I came across this generated map of Femicides occurring in Ireland between 1922 - 2022 (with References) in one of my nightly Reddit doomscrolls. I thought it may be of use or interest to your project or someone within your network. I also suggested to the original poster to consider using Wikidata or even a Wikibase instance to map and enrich their current data. Link to Google Map and Reddit Original post. I hope it is useful to you, if not then please disregard. Kind regards, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 14:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to a Discussion
Hello everyone,
I wanted to reach out to all the participants of this project to let you know about a recent discussion I've initiated regarding the inclusion (or more accurately, exclusion) of women's sports in the "In the News" section of the front page. Given your active involvement in discussions about women's articles, I warmly invite each of you to join the conversation and share your valuable insights on this matter. Your perspectives are crucial in shaping a more inclusive and representative platform. Thank you for your contributions.
Best regards, PrinceofPunjabTALK 04:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Kathleen Hicks
Hello, I am hoping to find an editor willing to review a change I've proposed for the article about Kathleen Hicks, current U.S. deputy secretary of defense. Her article is out-of-date and incomplete in a few ways, and I currently have an open request to update information about her board roles. I have a COI with her as a topic, since I'm working directly with her family. If anyone is willing to review the request and consider implementing it, I would be grateful. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 18:36, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

age limits?
Pardon my pedantry, but does WikiProject Women limit itself to covering topics about adult women, or is it concerned with all ages? I ask re: this tagging of the article disappearance of Pauline Picard. Thanks, all, — Fourthords | =Λ= | 16:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting. The category Category:Girls specifically says that it is not used for biographical articles, and although we have a category for Category:Women centenarians we do not have a corresponding category for Category:Women who died in childhood. I suppose the only notable ones are likely to be: victims of crime like this one, child actors/musicians/gymnasts who achieved notability and died before adulthood, princesses etc dying young and still deemed significant enough for an article.
- But to reply to @Fourthords:, I would think that even a female toddler would come within the scope of this Wikiproject. "... and girls" can be assumed. But others may have other ideas! (And I've added this Pauline Picard to Picard (name) while looking into her.) PamD 19:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Mariapaola D'Imperio
Perhaps someone from WP:WOMEN could take a look at Mariapaola D'Imperio. The subject seems to meet WP:NACADEMIC, but the subject has also recently edited the article. The edits appear to be a good faith attempt to improve things, but it's probably better for them to be encouraged to use the article's talk page instead to request changes. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:55, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Edits to Sukhinder Singh Cassidy
I've made a request for edits at Sukhinder Singh Cassidy that may interest members of WikiProject Women. The page is quite out of date so it would be great to bring it up to date. I'm an employee of Xero so I have a conflict of interest. Is anyone able to take a look please? Thank you JT at Xero (talk) 02:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- @JT at Xero Please note that the image you suggest cannot be uploaded except by the owner of the copyright: Wikipedia does not use images copied from elsewhere on the internet without permission. See Wikipedia:Image use policy for more information. Thanks. PamD 07:37, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, Xero owns the original of that image so I'll read up on the policy and resubmit. Thanks for the flag - I haven't dealt with images before JT at Xero (talk) 07:49, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @PamD just checking in if you could please make those requested updates on Sukhinder's page ? I'm working on the image but it would be great if the page could be brought up to date in the meantime? Thank you JT at Xero (talk) 04:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Please see...
the discussion, here, regarding rejections of a stub I created for Jennifer Klein, the Director of the White House Gender Policy Council. I am beside myself, and conclude this is just a waste of professional time. I conclude that there are biases, either against IP editor submissions, or against people in Klein's sort of position, otherwise just bias based in too little time applied in consideration of matters before WP AfC participants. I will not contribute anything further to this. If someone wants this draft to see article space, someone else will have to argue it through. The rough-out of my argument regarding notabilty appears here. A former prof, and a retired, registered WP editor (revisiting the reasons why they retired). 98.206.30.195 (talk) 05:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'd begun looking at your draft but then noticed that around the same time someone else created an article Jennifer Klein (public official) which is in the article main space. If there's anything from your article you think should be included I'd add it there. Nnev66 (talk) 23:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Afsaneh Salari
Could someone from this WikiProject take a look at Afsaneh Salari and assess it per WP:BIO? The article was originally submitted as a draft to WP:AfC, but was declined. The creator then moved essentially the same declined version to the mainspace themselves, but it was draftied for the reasons given at User talk:Mr.izadpanah#Draftification of Afsaneh Salari. The creator then moved it back to the mainspace. I asked an administrator who posts at WT:AFC about this at User talk:Primefac#Afsaneh Salari and it was suggested that WP:AfD would need to be next step if the subject doesn't meet WP:N. WP:BEFORE doing that, I'd thought I see whether anyone else feels this WP:NEXISTS and just needs better sourcing (perhaps even sources not in English). -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

How many WikiProject Women templates to add to talk pages?
Is there a best practice about adding "WikiProject Women" templates to Women BLP Talk pages? For instance if one adds "WikiProject Women Scientists" or "WikiProject Women Artists" should one also include "WikiProject Women"?

Polite Note of Request
Dear members,
I am requesting your guidance or advice on how to make changes or add information to this page:
The page is: Val Kalende
I am the personality that page talks about. I did not ask for a Wikipedia page and I doubt I needed one but since it already exists, I feel obliged to know how the writeup can adequately represent who I am: My current views, biographical information, education, and career. Please let me know how to submit an article. I appreciate any feedback you can provide.
Many thanks. Ghh77 (talk) 05:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Ghh77: Hello, first I would advise you to read the section on If Wikipedia already has an article about you. I would also suggest looking at Writing about yourself, family, friends.
- Generally, except for a few constrained situations described in WP:COISELF, you should not edit the article yourself. Instead, write your concerns or desired changes on the Talk:Val Kalende. You can use post the {{Please see}} template here at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women & at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography to alert editors on those WikiProjects to the issues. You may also want to post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Uganda.
- It is generally helpful to post the verifying citation(s) from reliable sources that back up the changes that you wish to see.
- Bear in mind that although you may have had a change of mind or heart about something for which you were once notable, that does not mean that this will be removed from the article. Please consider what the verifiability, not truth essay has to say about this.
- Also, it would be best to read the section on How to disclose a conflict of interest (COI).
- I hope this is helpful. Peaceray (talk) 06:12, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
