WikiProject Women's History[edit]

WikiProject Women's History needs members' input on implementing auto-assessment. You'll find the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History#Auto-assessment. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 10:44, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Members' input needed at WikiProject Women's History[edit]

Hi, sorry for the LONG delay in replying. I wasn't aware I had a talk page! Anyway, I'm ready to reactivate myself (motivated by the #toofew edit-a-thon). What do I need to do? (Hmprescott)

Hello. I'm writing to you as your name is listed on the members page for WikiProject Women's History. In recent discussions at the project, most notably here, several members have indicated that the scope of the project may need to be more clearly defined and communicated. I have set up a workshop page for this, but it obviously needs as wide a participation as possible to achieve genuine consensus and to allow the project to move forward. You'll find the workshop here.

If you no longer consider yourself an active member of the project, it would help if you could indicate this on the members' page. This will allow us to better gauge how much people-power we actually have. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 18:24, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Women's History Project – Final call for comments on the Scope draft[edit]

Our workshop on revising and clarifying the scope of our project has produced a draft outlining our project's scope and criteria for article inclusion. Please join us at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History/Scope workshop#Scope draft to discuss this document. There's a separate section beneath it for final comments, which will remain open through Tuesday, June 14th. As Cynwolfe says "with good participation, we should be able to revise our project page soon, clearing up the issues we've been dealing with and preparing us to go on to the fun stuff." Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 12:41, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Tobacco brides"[edit]

Hi, Hmprescott. You're probably watching the WH talk page, but I found what I think is a really interesting topic: "tobacco brides". Other remarks there too, but just wanted to wish you and your students well! Cynwolfe (talk) 22:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Hilda Crosby Standish[edit]

On 25 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hilda Crosby Standish, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Katharine Hepburn recruited Hilda Crosby Standish to be medical director of the first birth control clinic in Connecticut? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hilda Crosby Standish. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Help me with... setting up an event page

Hmprescott (talk) 16:05, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What type of event? Is it related to Wikipedia like a WikiProject meet up? If it's for an unrelated event then that would be an inappropriate use of Wikipedia and against our guidelines. See WP:NOT. You should probably look to Facebook or evite to meet your needs. Mkdw ^talk 18:38, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a Wikiproject meetup for Wikiproject:Women's History. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hmprescott (talk • contribs)

Well then that's certainly something that could be organized inside that WikiProject. I took at a look and it seems that several meetups have been planned in the past. I would recommend you use one of the existing meet up pages, such as Wikipedia:Meetup/Ada Lovelace Edit-a-thon 2013 - Brown, and use it as a template for the meet up you want to plan. Mkdw ^talk 18:44, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also if you need help organizing a meet up, there's actually a Wikiproject for that too. I'm sure you'd be able to find someone there that has experience organizing them that could help you or in the very least give you some tips. Wikipedia talk:Meetup. Mkdw ^talk 18:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I just asked the creator of Wikiproject: women's history for help.

Speedy deletion nomination of Berkshire Conference on the History of Women[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Berkshire Conference on the History of Women requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. --KGF0 ( T | C ) 22:29, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously I haven't visited this page in awhile. I'd like to recreate this page and link it to the entry on the Berkshire Conference on Women Historians. I figured I should contact you first so you don't delete it again! Thanks for your help.
