Re: [Wikimediauk-l] BBC 100 Women and Wikimedia

Agree with Gordo. It would be sensible for event coordinators to get the BBC news piece changed this morning. It would be a lot better to give a link to the on-wiki help. I have plenty of experience creating biographies, but I still had two new biography stubs for women academics put up for deleti

Hi Gordo This is one of the issues we've been discussing with the BBC all along...the idea being to focus on in person training events where people get a real sense of how to edit and are far less likely to be reverted. Of course the BBC were quite focused on having a large scale call to action...

It's possible to follow the edits through the hashtag, at: http://tools.wmflabs.org/hashtags/search/100Womenwiki Maybe help interact with the new users there? There are already a few problematic usernames being used... (e.g., User:BBC100) T

Hi all I've added the link to the enwiki help pages on the project meta page, and I'm talking to the BBC about updating the News pages...thanks all! Lucy On 8 December 2016 at 11:00, WereSpielChequers wrote: > Any chance of getting them to tweak http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ > technology-38219838

Hello all! On my way from a wiki session in Edinburgh to the BBC session in Glasgow, where m'colleague Ewan is already guiding that team. I provided a training session a week or so ago in preparation for today, but as we all know, the best way to learn is by doing. I'm so excited to be able to

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] BBC 100 Women and Wikimedia

Since the BBC is encouraging people to create unsourced articles on living people there is a high possibility they will turn up at either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:BLP_articles_proposed_for_deletion or even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion I've res

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] BBC 100 Women and Wikimedia

Thanks Jonathan, that's a great idea! At the training events we are of course reinforcing the need for appropriate secondary sources, and lots of preparation work has been done by Roger and other Women in Red editors, Stuart Prior at Wikimedia UK and BBC staff to create lists of women to be added

Dear all In the next few days I will be emailing more formal thanks to lots of people involved in the events within the UK and further afield, but I've just arrived home and before I open the wine I wanted to say how grateful I am for so many people's time, energy, expertise and good humour today
