However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Tsitsi Dangarembga
Thanks for improving the lead on Tsitsi Dangarembga. I was not aware of that information.
I have a question. At the beginning of the month, I was creating articles on African filmmakers and noting them on both Africa and Film editathon pages. I then considered that counts of women on these editathon pages would be summarized at the end of the month. I could be causing double-counting of articles, so I started adding bios to only one page. I see that you added TD to the film page.
My question: Is it ok to put an article on more than one editathon page if that person can assigned to more than one category? thnx MauraWen (talk) 12:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
Sure Maura, those pages are not used in our most accurate stats - except for sharing our achievements. It helps others to swing in and help as I hope I did here. The main figures come from Wikidata which counts up all the biogs and counts all the gender=female or gender=not male (not sure which - obvs latter is better). She seems to have a lot going for her being first in some things and best in others. I was thinking that I should read the book. I updated the article on "the" book which is where I think I found the extra facts. Your work got 1,000s of tweets. Great work. Victuallers (talk) 14:19, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- Where is the gender=female on a page - I want to make sure I'm putting the data in properly so that it IS counted. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 18:29, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Victuallers and Antiqueight: I just started to read Tsitsi's book this weekend! That is what I love about writing articles on Wikipedia, it takes me to new subjects, people and places that I want to learn more about.
- Gender=female, Isn't that taken care of on the talk page for a biography, as in Women =Y? MauraWen (talk) 09:44, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
- Ah Duh!! Of course - yes. It would be. I was trying to think where on the article it was but it is on the talk page. Grand so - I think I have mine all done. Though now I'm wondering - I wrote a page for a non-binary person - does theirs get picked up because the page doesn't say gender= male or is there a term that should be on the talk page to identify this? ☕ Antiqueight chatter 11:32, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
- Ummm no, I think. The important record of her gender is held here. This is a pretty subtle recording that aims to deal with non-binary, but its very complete. This record MAY come from the en:wiki or it may come from a wiki in another language or from an individual editor or data being loaded from a good source like the ODNB. One of the great starts for Women in Red was having this data and tools were built to improve its recording. There are only about 10,000 people who have no gender recorded (which is pretty small for 1.5m biogs). HTH Victuallers (talk) 12:18, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
- Wait -so, should I be updating wikidata for every article I write? I'm not entirely sure how easiest to do that - certainly it wasn't something I did when I started. Help? ☕ Antiqueight chatter 12:27, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
- I do - I actually created it first and use a pool called "prepbio" to create my first draft. Victuallers (talk) 09:40, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Dorothy "Kitty" Black 1914 2006.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vanessa Kingori
The article Vanessa Kingori 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.
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. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 14:54, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Katherine Monbiot
Hi, My article has been nominated for deletion. I am unclear as to what is the problem, as I thought a world champion was notable enough, and I don't understand the comment about the references I had. Can you help and explain to me why it was nominated? Thanks Golan's mom (talk) 04:35, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi @אמא של גולן: Sorry I saw your note, went to look and then got distracted. The arm wrestling is reffed but doesnt seem to be well covered and the association that she is chair of does not seem to have an address, employees etc. This makes the notability tricky but not insurmountable. Sadly the page on the arm wresting contest doesnt namecheck the women. Might be good to sort that out. I certainly think that world champions are notable assuming that the championship was representative - and not like the us baseball "world series" or a small village that has the "world" spider eating contest. Hope that helps Victuallers (talk) 17:16, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

- Hi Handsome Boy. Thanks for noticing! No complex software used. I just full screen the video and then "prt sc" print screen. You need to load these up with the templates YouTube and License Review and make sure the screen grab shows the time in the video. I then crop it after it has been over checked for its license.

Image for Lone Koppel
Hi Roger. I seem to remember you are something of an expert on images for BLPs. I'm working on a biography for the Danish opera singer Lone Koppel. I have found this image on Flickr.

Helen Slote Levitt
Hi Robert, while helping a student with his Hebrew article about Helen Levitt (a different person which was sometimes confused with Helen Slote Levitt) , I noticed that Helen Slote Levitt is actually a redirect for Alfred Lewis Levitt since the couples worked together. I find it a bit odd, but am not sure if it is just a case of a "joint" article which should be renamed or an article about Alfred, in which the information about Helen should be copied for a new created article. What do you think? Thanks Golan's mom (talk) 10:07, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

- Congratulations!
- You have been included in my first, and possibly only, Very Early Christmas List!
- As an earnest fellow believer in Santa Claus, and possibly in Our Redeemer Liveth as well, you may wonder how you got on this list.
- I have no idea!
- That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
- Unless I tracked down the connection in our user talk archives, in which case you know who you are!
- Or not.
- All the best for you and yours this Christmas 2018 and New Year 2019!

Orphaned non-free image File:Betty Heimann died 1961.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Betty Heimann died 1961.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

19%
Thanks to the regular updates generated by WHGI and posted by Ipigott, we can see that en-wp's women's biographies are now at 17.8%. My question to the math wizard (you): approximately how many more biogs will it take to get to 18%? Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year, amigo. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:27, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Rosiestep: Not sure if you're interested in 18% or 19%. If we continue at the same rate, we will need about 46,000 new bios to reach 19%. That will be around March 2020. If you are really more interested in 18%, it will take about 8,500 more articles. I'm not too sure how long that will take -- anything from three to nine months, depending on how many of our existing articles are deleted and how many men's biographies are coded male on Wikidata (there's quite a backlog). I've simply based these estimates on our stats over the past couple of years. We had a difficult time in 2018 as many women's bios were deleted from Wikidata.--Ipigott (talk) 16:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ipigott, truth be told, I'm interested in both. Thanks for doing the math. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Interesting estimates Ian. I guess the Wikidata deletion explains my disappointment. I had seen 15% in 2015, 16% in 2016, 17% in 2017 and I was hopeful that we would achieve 18% last year. The deletionists seem to have now included Wikidata - which is a pity. Can you explain more? Or provide a link as I thought that only en:Wikipedia would concern us, whereas a wikidata deletion may affect all languages. Oh and Happy New Year. (We had quite a few new years resolutions on Twitter to target this - but several productive editors do not tag WIR although we get mentioned in tweets).

File:Madeleine Nobbs.jpeg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Need help in a time crunch.
Trying to get the Inter-Allied Women's Conference on the front page for its centennial. The photo of the organizer,[2] is awful, but in PD. Looks like what appeared in the newspaper was cropped from this[3] as hair, necklace, dress, pose, etc. is the same. I have no idea how to re-upload a better photo. Can you help? SusunW (talk) 19:14, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- Done. I suspect that the image was a blow up from the one you found. Must be a better image somewhere but couldnt find it. Victuallers (talk) 08:19, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
Thanks for all you are doing for Women in Red, for the wiki edit-a-thons and for your encouragement to me (a slow learner). Enjoy this little kitten.

Hi, I'm using this image in the infobox for Psalm 93. Would you be able to greatly enlarge the plaque part, maybe leaving just a little stone around the edges, so viewers can see the writing at the small size? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:20, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

July 18th
Our (WiR) birthday is actually July 18th, right? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:52, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- BTW, last year, at WikiWomenCamp, I was given a second Wikimania 2015 backpack and I'm going to give it to you when I see you. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 18:46, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- hmmm I thought the twitter feed was May .... but typical I've forgotten the anniversary! Victuallers (talk) 20:38, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- There are no doubt various dates which could be celebrated. Maybe we should have a WiR timeline. The original idea was born on 12 February 2015. The rest, as they say, is history. I like the modest "My aspiration is that it might make a difference, and my dream is that something may come of it that helps us to make Wikipedia more accessible and useful." WikiProject XX did indeed start on 18 July 2015.--Ipigott (talk) 10:32, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Ian, I was hoping to look this up. 12th Feb to July 18. Very nice catch!! (as usual). Victuallers (talk) 10:49, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- It's a fact that this has been a life-changing journey for me, Roger. Maybe for you and others, too. I think about all the people we'll never meet who are now reading the articles and looking at the photos of all the notable women who now have a presence on Wikipedia because of the planning we did between Feb 12 - July 18, 2015; and all the coordination done by a devoted community since then. I imagine there is some girl out there -someone we will never meet- who is reading some biography of some notable woman/women, and thinking, "This is what I want to do; this is what I want to be". So yes, life-changing. BTW, I see that Adrianne uploaded a couple of photos of herself. That's a good start. BTW #2, the LA-based gender-equity documentarian I met at Wikipedia Day LA reached out to me over the weekend regarding wanting to meet in May; w00t! --Rosiestep (talk) 18:49, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

- @Rosiestep: Yep, we have a great pic of Anrianna that I encouraged her to take with butterflies. I have been adding to her biog and the research is really interesting. That "girl" in my mind is my grand daughter - if she can see successful people then she will know. There is nothing wrong with working (say) in a pet shop for your life - but it shouldn't be because you never thought you could be a Naturalist Prof or presenter, animal film director or head of a zoo. And I have just been working with getting pix of Rita Orji. Victuallers (talk) 11:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

"very interested in learning new things, in any proper subject"
Thank you for quality articles such as Weston-on-Trent in 2006 and Alice Woods in 2019, for educational missionary work around the world, including Be Seen Be Read, for Women in Red, and all in collaboration, - Roger, repeating (25 April 2010): you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Ruth Nicholson
Hi Victuallers. You kindly helped me with some images at the Ed University editathon. I'd like to use some images of Ruth Nicholson which are at https://rcogheritage.wordpress.com/2017/07/21/pioneers-ruth-nicholson-frcog-1931/ Any help appreciated. Papamac (talk) 12:34, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hmm tricky as "Nicholson family" are credited and would hold the copyright for 70 years after her death. If the pix were taken by a soldier photographer then they would be free to use after 50 years.... but no proof of this. One picture appears to be anonymous SO! 70 years since taken for anon. See you at the next editathon I hope. Victuallers (talk) 17:34, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks so much. I'll work on that one, and yes, hopefully see you then. Papamac (talk) 07:46, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Here is the article I just put in the main space. Don't think there is enough for a DYK.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Nicholson Thanks again for your help. Papamac (talk) 11:10, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks so much. I'll work on that one, and yes, hopefully see you then. Papamac (talk) 07:46, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Image for Lou Koster
Roger, I wonder if you could help me out with my expanded article on Lou Koster. I see the LB version has a fair use photo but I am hopeless at handling fair use on the EN wiki. All my attempts have been deleted. If you have a minute, perhaps you could include it.--Ipigott (talk) 17:35, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
