Women in Red
[edit]Hi there, AdaWoolf, and welcome to Women in Red. Thank you for creating a detailed biography of Enid Lucy Robertson which I've now moved to article space. I hope it is the first of many more biographies of women. I'm impressed by how quickly you've learned how to edit but even so you might find it useful to look through the guidance in our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:02, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Ipigott, Thank you for reviewing the article, and thank you for this info. I did jump in and get started before I really knew what I was doing or how things work here. I didn't even realise that there is a visual editor until I had finished - I didn't need to learn the codes! So, I appreciate the link to the Primer. I will have a read and then look into what I can work on next.AdaWoolf (talk) 05:46, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I do Wikipedia training for Wikimedia Australia via Zoom for anyone who wants it. Looking at your user page, your interest seems to be Australian topics so guessing you are probably in Australia. Although I am not personally active in Women in Red (biographies are not really my area of interest), my friend User:Oronsay (another Australian) is part of Women in Red and I am sure would be happy to help you too if asked. Also Wikimedia Australia runs a monthly training session and/or drop-in on Wednesday afternoons via Zoom as well as community meetings etc (see [https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Events] - the times are AEDST). Kerry (talk) 09:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Kerry, thank you for the offer!! I would love some guidance/training/help/critique. And yes, I am in Australia, I live in Melbourne. I grew up in Queensland, and I am a big family history nerd, so I appreciate your interests.
- Today is my two week anniversary of my first Wikipedia edit because I read this article about Women in Red, that morning and got very inspired. So I am very very new. But quite obsessed.
- I am starting a new fulltime job on Monday, so I wont be able to make the drop in sessions on Wednesday arvo, but I will keep my eye on that calendar. I would love some training from you and/or User:Oronsay.
- I have heaps of questions but I am always a bit confused about who and how to ask. So thank you again for reaching out!

- Hi, and welcome to the wonderful world of Wikipedia. I'm in Sydney, joined Women in Red in 2017 and have written many women's bios since then. The editors at WIR are very helpful. I'm happy to help you in any way I can. Oronsay (talk) 22:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Doctors
[edit]Are you aware of the not under the radar doctors who were unable to work with the brits or oz forces in ww1 due the phobia of the military heirarchy in the brit empire?
I know of at least one west oz, and am not sure if she was part of a larger group, or a smaller one - very interested - she ended working for the french... JarrahTree 10:21, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @JarrahTree, I have only starting to learn about women in WWI in the last few weeks :) I don't know a lot about them, but I think Helen Sexton did something similar to what you described, perhaps there was a bigger group she was involved with? I found this research yesterday:[1]. There is a lot of info there.
- I think the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service took a lot of the volunteer doctors, and they may have been in France as well as other places. I think there were other groups and hospitals too. I don't know a lot about the war, so I am still trying to understand how these groups would have been organised, and how they relate to the military.
- If you have any further info, I would love to learn more!
- AdaWoolf (talk) 10:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes the Helen Sexton experience was more than people realise - The problem with either of the world wars is the sheer volume of information and how to get a handle of what is the most helpful, for particular aspects of things - the Australian War Memorial collection which I used to enjoy when I was able to stop by in travels of the past...The particular individual I am thinking of I will try to find out more... (It was interesting last night the amount of TV about the grecian islands relevant to wounded Gallilopi soldiers ) Thanks for your reply, will try to follow up soon JarrahTree 10:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you writing this clear and well-written article for a notable Australian recipient of the Officer of the Order of the British Empire. The sources look fine, as is the structure.

Disambiguation link notification for June 27
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Australian women in World War I, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Advertiser, The Herald and The Telegraph. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon
[edit]
Hello AdaWoolf:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
