Welcome to Wikipedia, as I am thrilled to see participation at Smith College! If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to help you out, as I am a UMass graduate and would be more than willing to help you if you had any questions about Wikipedia in the future.

Question

edit

Hello! I dare to ask You a question as I've learned here that You have a relevant scholarly background. When I created an article in the English Wikipedia, a vigilant enwiki user tagged it with a template of the Women's History wikiproject. Personally I feel about it very positive (and I sent a thank you notification to the vigilant user), but I a bit confused about what would be appropriate for me while creating/expandig other like articles. Namely: written policy of the Project states: "The biography of a woman born between 1900 and 1950 is within the scope of this project if reliable sources discuss her life or career in the context of women's history or as contributing to significant societal or cultural change." Do women of XX century notable (accordingly to reliable sources) as soldiers still need specific explicit mentioning as significant contributors to Women's history for inclusion of their biographies into the Project, given that women of combat professions are still relatively rare and there are a plenty of scholarly sources connecting participation of women (in general) in warfare and, especially, their direct engagement in combat with major cultural changes in the Women's history? Since I don't know exact intentions of the Project's founders, I find it awkward for me to paste baldly it's template in whatever article i like. If the intention of the language cited was to limit the number of the articles supervised, then it should be taken into account that the potential number of articles about distinguished female soldiers of XX century, matching Wikipedia's criteria for notability, may be in hundreds. So finally, I ask your learned opinion: should such articles be tagged with the template of the Women's History wikiproject or they should not? Humbly beg your pardon for being so bald.

"Women are everywhere"

edit

Hi Cnbaker777. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks, --Kenzia (talk) 16:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
