I know you have been working on CEE women, but thought this oceanographer might be interesting for you. If you don't want to do her, I will. as it looks like there are plenty of sources to meet GNG.[2], [3], [4], [5]. [6] SusunW (talk) 20:56, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

August and New Achievements at Women in RedMeetups #87, #88, #89, #90
Archiving this pageHi, Penny! I'm a fellow WIR editor and would like to suggest that you archive this talkpage. If you don't know how to, or if it seems daunting, I can help you. We can set it up to auto-archive or you might do like I do mine and manually archive it within time periods (weeks, months, years, etc.). This is just a suggestion, however its current state causes a long load-time for some who wish to leave you a new message here. Just reply here, if you would like my help. Have a great weekend! — Wyliepedia @ 09:47, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Myrtle TannehillI stand corrected on Tannehill's lawsuit to La Rue ["Grace La Rue Sued", LA Times February 11 1920](*several sources,see link). I don't understand how Tannehill thought she was going to win since Hamiton was a grown man responsible for his own actions and he and La Rue married legally. But I digress. It doesn't state if Tannehill won anything. Alienation-of-affections goes on to this day(*see link) and can be quite awarding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlYRBik3uf8 Thanks.Koplimek (talk) 21:41, 31 July 2018 (UTC) Monthly achievement initiativeThanks, Penny, for being the first to list an article under the August Monthly achievement initiative.

Collaboration on missionary wivesThanks for creating article on Ursula Emerson. Do you want to add a couple of missionary wives to your to do list? I have a problem with starting articles sometimes since I overdo it sometimes with quality instead of just creating a start article. If you want to start these, I can add my stuff to them and then nominate them for DYK. Here are a few women that I have in mind that desperately needs articles:

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. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

California State ContestHi Penny, I don't know if you or Rosiestep would be interested in a state contest for California.

Sarah P. MonksThanks for contributing the article Sarah P. Monks! I've been adding some scant biographical details, but they are largely hard to find in reliable sources. Since you appear to have a Newspapers.com account, you might be able to find and clip the full page profile in the December 8, 1918 Los Angeles Times, as described in Vassar Quarterly (title appears to be "Hail Woman as Marvel").

Myrtle ElvynQuick question–how sure are you about her date of birth? I've got a bit of a mystery here-two rather dubious-looking sources say 1886: what seems to be the VIAF page on her and this website (apparently a digitisation of some contemporary reference book, but I haven't been able to find out what).

Interlanguage links... and moreHallo Penny, A lot of your new articles have popped up in my notifications because many years ago I created the article Florence Nightingale Medal to which a batch of your recent articles have linked. I'm something of a redirects enthusiast and have spent a bit of time yesterday adding lots of redirects for these formidable women, from all the variations of their name which seem likely - it picked up a few incoming links, and I ended up having fun disambiguating a clutch of different people to create a dab page at Rebecca Price. I don't really see the point of surname list pages, but they exist so it's good to get women listed on them, so I've added your subjects to those pages, or made a redirect where they are the only surname-holder. Today I saw Lucy Minnigerode, ended up creating a surname page at Minnigerode, creating the article about her grandad Charles Minnigerode (and fixing a handful of mis-spellings of him in various articles, and linking to him, etc). But I noticed that you'd got a blue limk to Charles Frederick Ernest Minnigerode which was leading outside enwiki to the German article on him. There is actually a rather useful template {{Interlanguage link}} (which can be abbreviated as {{Ill}} which is hard to read in a san-serif font), which allows you to make a redlink within enwiki and also a link to another wiki. When the enwiki article is created, the red link turns blue and the external link disappears. It's rather neat. In this situation the code would have been Best wishes - and congratulations on the huge stream of well-crafted articles, which makes my own set of stubby little contributions seem very weak!
