User talk:Jane023/Number of women per occupation

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Jane023

"Cora Stephan" is listed as a sample for the profession "Translator," but she is not a translator. There are many articles for women translators that could be substituted here: Edith Grossman, Margaret Jull Costa, Anthea Bell, others. How can this be fixed?

Thanks for taking an interest in this list, which is generated automatically. The reason you see her name next to this occupation is because she is the first Q number found by the bot that is female and carries this occupation. For more information about her wikidata item you can click on the link. The purpose of including a column with a sample is to enable correcters to more quickly fix problems at the bottom of the list, where many women have been given nonsensical occupations or occupation has been filled with valid activities that are not valid occupations. The list is for tracking purposes. You can create your own list to track in your own userspace for translator occupations or women of other occupations. You can also help out on Wikidata with any of the other tracking lists (for female birthdates for example). Jane (talk) 16:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
