Hi there, GiantBroccoli, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created quite a number of biographies of women and now intend to write many more. As you are interested in covering women from Eastern Europe, you might like to participate in our translation contest which has just started. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:00, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Ipigott, for your welcome! I will probably add some translations from Polish/Czech/Slovak in the future. GiantBroccoli (talk) 15:46, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
You seem to be progressing very well with your women's biographies. Thanks for adding two to our translation contest listing. Looking forward to many more.--Ipigott (talk) 09:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi thanks for creating this article. When we translate or borrow from other language wikis it’s a requirement to acknowledge the source. The best way to do this is to include it in your edit summary (e.g. “translated from pl.wiki”) and there’s also a translation template you can add to the talk page. I’ve added it for you. Happy editing and please leave a message on my talk page if you need any help Mccapra (talk) 07:38, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Mccapra, thanks for taking the time to review my article! I wrote it from the bottom up based on refs, since the Polish version has barely any sources. I did not borrow or translate anything from the pl.wiki article. If I do translate, I remember to add the template, as I did with Zenia Larsson. Have a nice day, GiantBroccoli (talk) 17:54, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
ok thanks in that case I’ll remove the template. All the best Mccapra (talk) 21:07, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

  • Use open-access references wherever possible, but a paywalled reliable source
    is better than none, particularly for biographies of living people.
