Women in Red

Hi there, Nnev66, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you have again become active on Wikipedia and have been improving a number of women's biographies. When you feel ready to create biographies yourself, you'll find some useful tips in our Ten Simple Rules. I've taken the liberty of adding the Women in Red user box to your user page. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out. Trying to figure out things on my own but also want to find communities of Wikipedia's to chat with where appropriate. I hope soon to be creating a wiki page for a notable woman scientist. Nnev66 (talk) 16:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I think you'll find we are a very cooperative community. Feel free to comment on our WIR talk page where you are welcome to take part in discussions. And I'll always be ready to respond to anything you come up with on my own talk page.--Ipigott (talk) 14:57, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I did my first page via the Wikipedia Review mechanism. Not a scientist but someone I thought should have a page: Draft:Rachel Cowan. Not sure I'd go through this mechanism again as there appears to be a backlog but wanted to see what it would be like to go through the reviewer process. Hope to identify a woman scientist soon.

Hi, Nnev66. So glad to see you contributing to the Women in Red project. I just wanted to explain why I reverted several of your recent changes to the bio about Diane Koken. I did so because your recent, good-faith edits removed several useful citations from the article with the rationale, "remove references with no information: "'M. Diane Koken,' Milton Hershey School." and "'M. Diane Koken,' Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company." Unforuntately, when you did that you removed citations that actually serve important functions. (Those shortened citations may have seemed as if they did not contain important information, but each was designed let future Wikipedia editors know that those cited paragraphs had reference sources to back up the content presented there. This is particularly important when writing and editing biographies of women for the Women in Red project because women's biographies on Wikipedia have had a history of being challenged and deleted because they "did not contain enough citations," regardless of how prominent the biographical subjects were/are. Being a relatively new editor to Wikipedia and the Women in Red project, you may not have realized this; so that's why I just wanted to reach out to you.) Also, just fyi. The types of abridged citations that you deleted actually did have valid formatting (based on longtime academic standards, as well as Wikipedia's current Manual of Style). So, I've replaced three of the citations you removed for these reasons. There's always a bit of a learning curve with Wikipedia, but I know I can safely say that your contributions are genuinely welcome. Again, thanks so much for helping with the Women in Red project! -- 47thPennVols (talk) 22:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah, OK. It was confusing to me but I see now. Thanks for explaining.

I find it more straightforward if a reference is used more than once on Wikipedia to use <ref name=something> and then that can be used thereafter so that multiple instances are collapsed in the References section. I just did this now. I don't feel super strongly about it if you want to revert. But it makes it easier to read the References and see how many unique ones there are.

I do understand the challenges of writing women's biographies in Wikipedia and to make sure everything is properly referenced. Apologies for not understanding you were using Ibid - I'm used to seeing this with books when referencing different page numbers. Nnev66 (talk) 22:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

No worries. There are so many ways of doing things on Wikipedia that it can get confusing for all of us, no matter how long we've been editing. (There are also some Wikipedians who are laser-focused on formatting citations a specific way and spend a great deal of time reformatting citations to their preferred way of doing things, but that's not my focus. Quite honestly, I'm more concerned about just making sure that the articles I work on are just so well-cited that it's nearly impossible for anyone to contest the notability of the subject or subject matter, particularly when it comes to the women I write about because of Wikipedia's problems with keeping bios posted and intact.) So, if you'd like to reformat the citations, that's fine with me. I'll just ask that, moving forward, you not remove citations in a way that leaves paragraphs uncited. I wish you many, many years of happy researching, writing and editing! - 47thPennVols (talk) 23:05, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I will not remove references again - appreciate you taking the time to explain to me. Yeah, I do like a certain kind of reference formatting. I’ve also created or significantly added to pages and want to do a good job with writing and referencing with reliable secondary sources. I plan to write more Wiki pages for women. You’ll also likely be seeing me around some on Philly & PA political pages… Thanks for all the work you’ve been doing! Nnev66 (talk) 23:37, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

That's great news! WikiProject Pennsylvania can always use help from skilled editors like you (and Women in Red really can benefit from more of us creating bios of women who have been overlooked for far too long). Every time I find myself thinking, "I'm sure SHE already has a bio," I end up being shocked to find out that some historian, scientist or prominent political figure whose name was well-covered in the news still hasn't found a place on Wikipedia. On the plus side, there are plenty of opportunities for us to write about unsung heroes. - 47thPennVols (talk) 00:58, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

If you notice a notable woman scientist without one and don't have time let me know and I could potentially take it on. Nnev66 (talk) 01:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm currently whittling away at the historians on the Women in Red academic list (Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Academics). There are a number of scientists on that list that might be of interest to you and the list of researchers (Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Researchers) looks like there might be some fascinating subjects for you as well. - 47thPennVols (talk) 01:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Ellen Bernstein

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Barbara Ruhemann

Thank you very much for drafting such a nice little article on this interesting historical scientist! I accepted it and moved it to mainspace just now. Felix QW (talk) 15:31, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Felix QW! I keep my eye on women scientist draft articles and ended up going down a wiki hole on this one. I see in the past ten years or so more books are coming out about scientists in this time period so hopefully someone else can expand if they find additional sources. Nnev66 (talk) 15:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

If you would be interested in improving it further, I would recommend extending the lead section so that it adequately summarises the content. Then it would satisfy all the requirements of a B-class article and would be well on the way to be a good article. One could also consider suggesting it for WP:Did You Know, as her life is indeed rather remarkable. I'd be happy to help with either! Felix QW (talk) 15:41, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I would like to improve/extend the lede but don't fully understand who she was and what to emphasize about her life. She was clearly a German physicist with expertise in low temperature physics at the time this area was taking off. She had Communist sympathies and may have been a Communist member or stalwart but nonetheless had to flee given the environment. I can't find much about her anthropological efforts other than a mention in a Nature article by Bernal about a symposium and reading correspondence with Haldane, although clearly she was more invested in the exchange than he was. And then there are some primary sources she wrote which are not cited much although I don't know what to make of that from the time period.

Note this article is written from sources where there are a few pages, a few sentences, or even just a single sentence about the subject and the dots have to be connected, which I tried to do. This is the first article I've worked on like this. I may try to ping the IP address who started the article to see if they're willing/able to add more as I don't have the book they cite. It looks like Martin Ruhemann should also have a page. I'll keep an eye on this and when I have some time will see if I can improve it. Hopefully others who may have other sources, especially books, will add to it. Thank you for the invitation to improve the article and get it more noticed. Nnev66 (talk) 19:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

If it helps I could get the book from the Bavarian State Library in Munich the next time I'm there, should you not get a response from the IP. They are pretty well stocked, so if you need anything else (or any support with German language sources), I can always see what I can do. Felix QW (talk) 12:52, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi everyone, and thank you very much Nnev66 for the huge work you did on the draft, I am so glad to find it considerably extended, enhanced, and finally accepted ! I am sorry to give news so late : I am totally new to wikipedia, and submitted this draft in a rush (I am currently writing my PhD dissertation in epistemology and history of human sciences). Your discussion made me discover the Women in Red project, which is perfectly matching my intentions when submitting this draft about Barbara Ruhemann : I think I will create an account in order to contribute further and share with you some informations. I tried to collect informations about her publications in chemistry, anthropology, her translations and her activities in the Communist Party of Great Britain (mostly in relation to Nigeria and decolonisation). My problem is that her contributions in anthropology clearly lack coverage (beyond wikipedia), and as I am working on applied mathematics in anthropology from an historical and epistemological point of view, I hope to mend this one day with at least an academic paper. If I understand wikipedia's policy well, this would make me unfit to use my own results in order to extend her page, and I would leave to others the task to appreciate its relevance. Anyway, I can only confirm that wikipedia was clearly lacking informations about this outstanding scientific personnality, and that she deserves further research. Thank you again for your work ! I contact you soon to share my few findings. 2A01:E0A:259:8390:B91A:276D:D187:7617 (talk) 15:42, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

(Just to let you know how to contact me now that I created an account, I am 19BGP). 19BGP (talk) 15:56, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @19BGP for reaching out about this page and letting me know you discovered the Women in Red project! It's great to have more people contributing who care about this. I found everything I could on the internet about Barbara Ruhemann without getting to a physical library. While it was generous for @Felix QW to offer to go to a library in Bavaria, it sounds like you may have more information that could give insight into her Communist party activities/leanings and how that may have informed her career change to anthropology. I know for women it was tough staying in the physical sciences during this time period. Not sure why you couldn't add to the wikipedia page if you were able to publish your research in a reliable secondary source. It would be OK to use the sources you gathered to enhance the page so why not an academic paper you wrote after synthesizing all of these sources? I'm not an expert on Wikipedia rules and policies but from my reading there are certainly gray lines and acknowledgments that most people create pages for people are areas that they are interested in, which is a mild COI. I have Barbara Ruhemann in my watch list so I'll know if you contribute. I'm really curious what you find out if you have the time. Nnev66 (talk) 18:05, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Jim Harrity

There's really not much useful history in the original deleted article to merge, as it literally consisted solely of a single sentence stating that he exists as a city councillor without containing even the slightest detail about him beyond that. Which, of course, is the reason why it got deleted: city councillors can obviously keep substantive and well-sourced articles that go into detail about their careers, but aren't "inherently" notable enough that we would need to keep an article that just said "he is a person who exists, the end", which is all that the original version was saying.

So obviously you're free to recreate it if you can add more substance and sourcing about him than the original version did, but there wasn't really anything valuable in the original version to work from. Bearcat (talk) 15:10, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Re: Draftification as an ATD

Hiya, I relisted the AfD because I don't think there's a clear consensus yet, but on a personal note, I disagree with your opinion here, and wanted to take a second to explain why. In my view, a topic is notable or it isn't, that is what AfD is supposed to decide, and draftification is almost never a preferable outcome (A possible exception is when we think a subject will become notable very shortly).

In a case like this, if we send the article to draftspace, without drawing a verdict on notability, we are doing the page author a dis-service. If the topic is notable, it shouldn't go to draft. If it isn't, no amount of their editing it will overcome that hurdle, and trying to will be an exercise in futility, probably leaving the editor with a bad taste in their mouth about editing. It's not fair to give them false hope, in my opinion. Someone's got to bite the bullet and determine notability, what does waiting help with?

Curious to hear your opinion on this, as it seems to be different from mine! Best, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 18:27, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I don't disagree with most of what you're saying, i.e. a subject is either notable or isn't and let's use AfD to determine that and not waste time and give false hope with Draftification. It's just that when there are so many sources put forward for a subject, a few of them may actually have enough coverage to clear BASIC, but I get overwhelmed and glaze over after reading one article after another with routine coverage. Draftication gives the less experienced editor who wants to Keep the page a chance to clear out the chafe and bring forward an article with the best sources. Ideally, they'd have put forward the best ones at AfD, but they may not understand what is being sought. I know it's taken me a while to understand consensus around notability policy and I still think I'm only 2/3 of the way there. Best case scenario, if there are not enough sources a newish editor is able to learn this on their own when the process is slowed down. Nnev66 (talk) 18:43, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

My opinion is in a perfect world draftification might help how you describe, but as things are the user is not likely to receive helpful guidance from the AfC project, just rejections with relatively little explanation behind them. It would be better for them to get the feedback about notability during the AfD, instead. But I get where you are coming from, thanks for elaborating. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 11:05, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Speedy deletion of Susana Panadés Diaz

The page Susana Panadés Diaz has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:06, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

@Liz I'd had a discussion with Toadspike to move the redirect to Draft, then tried to do it myself and botched the move, which is why this must have happened. Next time I'll ask an administrator for help. Sadly, I was unsuccessful in persuading the closer to re-open the AfD discussion but other participants from the original discussion weighed in, and there was overall consensus to Draftify and try again.

Nomination of Mercury in corn syrup for redirecting to Renee Dufault

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mercury in corn syrup is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be redirected to Renee Dufault.

The article is being discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mercury in corn syrup until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the AfD notice from the article until the discussion is closed.

Since you have done multiple edits to the article, I thought you may be interested to know.
