Maud Bruce[edit]
Looks good so far! Couple of general points.
- Infobox always goes at the top of the article. Your image can be included within this.
- The lede opening sentence of any new article needs to establish very clearly why this person (or topic) is notable/remarkable/significant/important for inclusion on Wikipedia. The Manual of Style WP:MOS has guidance for writing a good opening sentence which summarises/contextualises the person but equally you can view other biography articles on Wikipedia similar to your article to see how they have opened.
- Citations should back up every statement (place after full stop) or at least every paragraph.
- Headings are only capitalised on the first word only. You can check other articles for typical article headings used in biographies or visit Wikipedia's Manual of Style WP:MOS.
- If we can add 50-100 words and 3 or 4 (or more) references from reliable published secondary sources (more is always better for establishing wider notability) then we have something we can publish. For help publishing you can email me at ewan.mcandrew@ed.ac.uk or view our website page here.
Some more training guides (pdf) are available and on the Dashboard here. Thanks for joining us yesterday! Stinglehammer (talk) 16:12, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Women in Red[edit]
Hi there, Devilsporridge LN, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you've made a good start on two women's biographies. I hope there'll be many more. I've made a few copy edits on Maud Bruce to bring it more in line with our usual editing practices. In future, I suggest you use fewer direct quotes from newspapers. Instead, just rewrite the content in your own words unless you feel there is something that really deserves to be quoted word for word. As a new contributor, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing.--Ipigott (talk) 13:47, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Nellie Stewart[edit]
Thanks for adding more refs to Nellie Stewart. It is better to add the refs to the body of the article rather than the WP:LEAD section, so I moved some of your refs lower down. It would be great if you could add more! I suspect that the existing sources cover all the facts, it's just that the article is missing in-line citations. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:23, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you! Will definitely add more! Earlgreydays (talk) 08:14, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary[edit]

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! |
