Welcome to Women in Red's March 2018 worldwide online editathons.
Historically, our March event has been one of the biggest offerings of the year. This year, we are collaborating with two other wiki communities. Our article campaign is the official on-line/virtual node for Art+Feminism. Our image campaign supports the Whose Knowledge? initiative. Women's History Month 2018
I am E. Whittaker, an intern working with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please reply to this message or email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview. .

Hi, Ipigott has told me you want to use the user-friendly reply tool in order to make responding to conversations easier, so I've installed it on your page. Once installed, you will be able to see a "Reply" button against every thread in a discussion; click on that and you will be presented with a text window roughly similar to Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp. Full instructions are on User:Enterprisey/reply-link.

After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! stwalkerster (talk) 19:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Colleen, Good job with the meetup page!!! I've renamed/moved the meetup page to: Wikipedia:Meetup/Madison/1000 Women in Religion 2019. I also added a photo of the monastery, and some categories. I added some wikilinks including changing the facilitator redlink from you real name (as there is no Wikipedia biography about you), to your Wikipedia username. I incorporated the external links into the prose. (Check out the edit history if you want to see step-by-step what I did.) Also, I added your event to the main Madison meetup page: Wikipedia:Meetup/Madison. After you add your wiki username to the Madison invite list (Wikipedia:Meetup/Madison/invite) (please ping me on-wiki once you've done this), I will send invites to those editors. (I couldn't figure out what's Rosalind's wiki username, which is why I haven't cc'ed her.) --Rosiestep (talk) 18:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The 1000 Women in Religion Project is working to improve the coverage of women’s contributions to religious, spiritual and wisdom traditions worldwide. In support of this larger goal, the edit-a-thon at Holy Wisdom Monastery will focus on improving articles about women with a Benedictine connection.

Good, and valuable, bio, but since you have been writings everal of these, a few details of style might be helpful.
Try to avoid specialist academic jargon, especially in the opening paragraph. I have no idea what "totalizing images of God " or "polydoxy" refers to (tho I can guess from context). Since we don't have articles on them, it's necessary to explain at first use. And since it's difficult to explain such concepts accurately in an opening paragraph, the specialization given in that paragraph is usually better written in general terms, with a fuller explanation later.
when you give a series of degrees, list them inchronological or ascending order; when you give a series of positions, list them in chronological order and include the dates. (The person's full CV is usually clear on this, though it is sometimes difficult to find)
Remember to link all special concepts where we have an article at their first use--even a reasonably commong word like Theologian, (but not "God" )
And link all people mentioned who have articles, like Roland Faber
For books, always give the ISBN. It's an essential linking point--it will link automatically.
For books, try to cite book reviews--in the humanities, you`ll find many of them by searching under the person's name in WorldCat--they're at the end of the list. .
try to avoid adjective of quality or praise , such as "innovative" except in a sourced direct quote from an authoritative 3rd party source.
DGG, Thank you for the tips. When I get a chance, I will get back to the article and make some of these edits. I am the chair of the 1000 Women in Religion Project working on getting articles about women up onto Wikipedia so this is valuable help for everyone. Dzingle1 (talk) 20:22, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try to attend some of the edit-a-thon in June. I'm afraid the earliest I can get there will be around 9:30, and depending on work deadlines I might have to skip it. I looked for a link to email you and it doesn't look like you have the preference for receiving emails turned on. Do you want to send me an email here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Clayoquot ? Then we can exchange contact details and talk about other ways to publicize your event if you like.
Also, will the edit-a-thon require any kind of conference registration, or can the public just walk in?
Hello, Dzingle1. Please check your email; you've got mail! It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
The 1000 Women in Religion Project is working to improve the coverage of women’s contributions to religious, spiritual and wisdom traditions worldwide. In support of this goal, the edit-a-thon at Atla's (formerly the American Theological Library Association) annual meeting will focus on improving articles about women in religion. We would love to have a few Vancouver area Wikipedians to help us get new editors oriented and editing!!

Hi Colleen- thanks for all your hard work on getting our list into wiki data. It looks good. I am happy to help with next steps but not sure what to do to be helpful. The next 2 months are quieter for me at work so could add names and upload to wiki data if trained. In meantime am working on my biography. PMCH2 (talk) 12:17, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you might want to set up an Event Dashboard for your next event. This way, there won't be issues of people all trying to edit one section of a page at the same time when they describe the event outcomes. The dashboard will also automatically give you statistics.

Hi Colleen - I put up the meet up page for AAR/SBL. Would you take a look and edit it if anything doesn't look right? I added some names to the workbench. I can add more next weekend. There are more former AAR presidents we could add to the list and lots of other scholars. I have to go looking for some more resources though. Still, its coming along! PMCH2 (talk) 03:30, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
PMCH2, It looks great! In the description we need to put something in about how this is a workshop meant for training participants of the AAR/SBL Annual Meeting. I am wondering about a link to the AAR/SBL registration sight? Yes I think that is the first step. (1) add a link to the AAR/SBL registration page followed by (2) instructions for registering for our specific workshop. I think we should take off the bit about registering on the meetup page. Instead, we could add a sentence that goes something like "For questions about registration contact Dzingle1" or "For questions about registration, leave a message on the this meetup page's talk page". I am not sure what the protocol is on this. What do you think? The work list looks great. I will contact Elizabeth about how registration is going. Thanks Dzingle1 (talk) 18:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
PMCH2, Thanks for making the edits. I checked with the Elizabeth. Currently there are 22 people signed up which is good. I am waiting to hear from Clifford about a super experienced Wikipedian to help out the day of. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again. Dzingle1 (talk) 22:35, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, I won't be there. Since my retirement my days of travelling to meetings are over, thank goodness. While I was still at work I often had to go on four or five business trips a month - all over Europe and frequently to the United States or even Japan. In any case, I think I am far more useful just helping out on line. Enjoy your trip and let me know of any progress on new biographies of women in religion.--Ipigott (talk) 07:54, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It was so nice meeting you at WCNA. Is it ok if I upload to Commons the photos I shared with you? Also, I wanted to wish you well at your event in San Diego. --Rosiestep (talk) 06:36, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rosiestep, Thank you so much for everything....at the WikiConference and so much more. I meant to respond right after the conference but have been running crazy getting ready for the San Diego Edit-a-thon and panel. Also heard from a contingent of people from Australia who are working on the 1000 Women in Religion Project. You help
And influence have been so amazing. I’ll let you know how this weekend goes. And yes you may use any pictures. And also we got a San Diego Wikipedian to help. Thanks again. Dzingle1 (talk) 14:14, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dzingle1, I just registered for this event. As an experienced editor, I'd love to help out in any way I can. Just let me know how! ;) Thanks for running it, it's such great work. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:49, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That is so great. I’ll be working through how we are going to use the chat rooms to break participants into smaller rooms so they can get more personal help and get questions answered. I’ll keep you posted. Dzingle1 (talk) 05:03, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Colleen - I added a notice about the monthly edit a thon for our project on our project page and removed the two cancelled events. I also put your user name down as a person to contact if anyone wants to join the edit a thon. Hope that is ok! If not, let me know and I will edit it. Also, just fyi, I added a new page to Wikipedia and included it on our list of outcomes on the project page. I created a page for Elsa Támez, a Mexican feminist biblical scholar. She was on our red link list. So one down and 9999 to go. ;-> PMCH2 (talk) 15:04, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
PMCH2, Thank Polly. The tasks are endless and I never seem to end. I just scheduled the ZOOM and am getting ready to set up the dashboard:). Dzingle1 (talk) 14:51, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I just thought you should know that I’m trying to get enough material to get the article Bessie Anstice Baker started. I’m recording my research here and I’m trying to get through her work A Modern Pilgrim’s Progress.
This is not easy, she was a true intellectual who not only examined Unitarianism, but Anglican systems such as the high, low and broad church factions. On top of this when she became disillusioned with religion (before finally converting to Catholicism in a major way) examined major philosophical figures from Hume to Kant (among others), was critical of major philosophical and scientific positions, had a take on Darwinism and participated in a variety of societies in London. Basically I’m getting a crash course in philosophical systems.
She always conferred the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice by the Pope. My hold up is that I’m waiting for a book I purchased months ago!
Aussie Article Writer, I am interested. It looks like a very interesting research project and will be a great addition to Wikipedia and to the coverage of women we are seeking through the 1000 Women in Religion Wikipedia project. I see that you found our project page and have signed up as an editor. Thanks! Are you connected with the Australian 1000 Women in Religion branch of this project. They are a passionate dedicated group of people. Let me know if you need help connecting. Also, you are more than welcome to join us for our monthly meetings. We have an editing meetup the second Monday of most months and a organizational meeting the 4th Thursday of every month. Thanks again for keeping us in the loop and for your willingness to contribute!Dzingle1 (talk) 21:00, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I saw your Wikimania session. I'd like to attend your next editathon and consider participating in the project. I could possibly take a chapter of the book--perhaps, Bertha Mae Lillenas. --Jaireeodell (talk) 19:25, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
