Jill Cohn

Would someone from this Wikiprojet take a look at and assess Jill Cohn? It was prod deleted a couple of years ago, but has just been de-prodded after a contest by someone claiming to be Cohn herself. If it can be saved, then fine; otherwise, AfD might need to be considered. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:46, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Caly Bevier

hi, have just added Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caly Bevier to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Women, i know Bevier has WPWomen on her talkpage so was already picked up in the project alert list but anyway would like to apologise for having missed her.

Adding women athletes to article alerts for WP:Women

I would like to submit a bot request for EarwigBot (see 14 WikiProject tagging) to tag articles tagged with {{WikiProject Women's sport}} with the {{WikiProject Women}} tag so that articles about women athletes and women in sports appear in the article alerts for WikiProject Women when they are nominated for deletion. Here is a current list Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's sport/Article alerts (although I have manually tagged WP Women on most if not all).

The bot request requires a discussion at the project before proceeding with the request. If there is an alternative method for ensuring the women in sports articles are included in the WP Women article alerts, let me know.

Rachel Parent

Hi, i have just (rather cheekily:)) added Rachel Parent to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/00 as expanded (i really just did a bit of a cleanup), i came across the article at afd here - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rachel Parent, as the article didn't have a talkpage with relevant projects, it does now, thought i would give you a heads up. Coolabahapple (talk) 16:19, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for doing so, Coolabahapple. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:01, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Adding WikiProject Women's health

I hope no one minds but I would like to include WP:WikiProject Women's health as part of WikiProject Women. Let me know if this is unacceptable. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 19:43, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Barbara (WVS), yes, absolutely. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:59, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Is there a mailing list or is most communication done here on the talk page? Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 20:05, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Barbara (WVS) I think if you just add your project to the affiliates template on the project page you will create the association, but I am not in the least Wikitechnical. Totally support your adding the Women's health project as an affiliate. SusunW (talk) 20:57, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Barbara (WVS), there's no mailing list, so the conversations take place on this talkpage. You can add WikiProject Women's health here. Also, if you wish, you can become a member of WikiProject Women. --Rosiestep (talk) 21:10, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you! And I will add my name to the project member list. A new topic-Another editor and myself have come up with a search template that quickly finds references related to any (notable) topic. I would like to put it on talk pages, perhaps ones that are identified on the project page. It's already used on thousands of talk pages already so it isn't something new. I think you will be very pleased. I have been able to create articles in just minutes because of this template. I will come back and post more information on how it works and how it helps find references and content. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 22:40, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

ISO 4 redirects help!

{{Infobox journal}} now features ISO 4 redirect detection to help with the creation and maintenance of these redirects, and will populate Category:Articles with missing ISO 4 abbreviation redirects. ISO 4 redirects help readers find journal articles based on their official ISO abbreviations (e.g. J. Phys. A → Journal of Physics A), and also help with compilations like WP:JCW and WP:JCW/TAR. The category is populated by the |abbreviation= parameter of {{Infobox journal}}. If you're interested in creating missing ISO 4 redirects:

• Load up an article from the category (or only check for e.g. Women's studies journals).
• One or more maintenance templates should be at the top of page, with links to create the relevant redirects and verify the abbreviations.
• VERIFY THAT THE ABBREVIATION IN |abbreviation= IS CORRECT FIRST

• There are links in the maintenance templates to facilitate this. See full detailed instructions at Category:Articles with missing ISO 4 abbreviation redirects.
• |abbreviation= should contain dotted, title cased versions of the abbreviations (e.g. J. Phys., not J Phys or J. phys.). Also verify that the dots are appropriate.
• If you cannot determine the correct abbreviation, or aren't sure, leave a message at WT:JOURNALS and someone will help you.

• Use the link in the maintenance template to create the redirects and automatically tag them with {{R from ISO 4}}.
• WP:NULL/WP:PURGE the original article to remove the maintenance templates.

Gonna @The Vintage Feminist: on this. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 04:39, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

For what it's worth I've never used any of that to find an abbreviated title. I usually go to advanced search then type in the journal title in the top box (selecting "Title: All (KTIL)" from the drop down menu) and in the next field put the ISSN number (selecting "LCCN-ISBN-ISSN (KNUM)" from the drop down menu). I then add limits "Type of Material = Periodical or newspaper".

That then gives me the LCCN entry, such as this one with abbreviated title, then I add capitals, full stops (period) and remove commas. Which in this case would be J. Phys. A. Math. Theor. which is what NCBI seem to have it as too (link). I may leave it to people who know more about it. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 10:32, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

There are other ways of getting the ISO abbreviation sure, but the LTWA is the authoritative source. This morning, a user also developed a small script/website here which we'll be making use of very shortly. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:11, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

@The Vintage Feminist: the automated tool is live now. It's not perfect, but it's good in 95% of cases. Take a look at any articles missing ISO redirects (you might have to WP:PURGE the page first however). Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:56, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Whenever I create or expand a journal article I'll try and track down any missing ISO abbreviations. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 19:02, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Mostly thinking about those you already created. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:18, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
