2025 Update from Women in Green

Hello Eddie891:

2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!

For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!

This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Question from Steveholmrealtor (16:14, 4 January 2025)

How can I make a new page? --Steveholmrealtor (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Steveholmrealtor, You should use the articles for creation process to create a new page. There you can create your page and then submit it for review when you are ready. For formatting/writing tips, I'd suggest looking at existing pages that are similar to the one you want to create, and modeling off of that. Happy to answer other questions if you have them!

Question from Steveholmrealtor (22:32, 4 January 2025)

How do I add a profile picture? --Steveholmrealtor (talk) 22:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean, @Steveholmrealtor. Do you mean to upload an image to Wikipedia? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Steveholmrealtor (talk) 15:14, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).

Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news

Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Greetings

Hi Eddie. I came across your username while on a random page, found my way to your Talk, and was about to leave when I saw the Whitman quote at top. Had to say 'hi' after that—hope all is well with you! — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 05:15, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @ImaginesTigers, thanks for leaving a note --and it's good to hear from you! Currently studying abroad at a university in the UK, and quite busy (but satisfied :) ) with that work. Hope all is well on your end, too! Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2025

2025 opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had). Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) - Thank you for improving article quality in January! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Look it up

Hello Eddie, you deleted a page Magnito for recreation, it was not recreated but not the same as the old one, i didn’t see the old version but this one I created is totally different from the old one, maybe you can check the two versions, thank you Vector diehard (talk) 10:07, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Vector diehard. @Significa liberdade is actually the user who deleted that page as a recreation. Perhaps they could speak to this better than I. But likely you relied on the same sourcing as was determined to not establish notability at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Magnito a year ago. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:56, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Vector diehard! The article was deleted because it did not address the issues raised in the deletion discussion last year, and there was no evidence that Magnito had become more notable since the deletion discussion. If you disagree with this decision, please raise your concern at Deletion Review. Thank you! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:49, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
