Guys, can we coordinate on this because this workflow is cannibalising content intended to be done on the event on the 8th and the research and work we have been doing is getting wasted. Stuart@WMUK Battleofalma (talk) 12:37, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Can I rephase that. WMUK are concerned that WiR's enthusiasm will mean that there are few remaining "easy" biographies in English. Creating Wikidata entries, adding pictures to commons, and creating references is great work. I will expand on this on our talk page for discussion. Victuallers (talk) 06:59, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Could someone comment please at Talk:100_Women_(BBC)#Is_it_not_a_copyright_violation_to_publish_this_list.3F? Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:14, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
I came across ?notice ad inviting for biographies of women for ?100 women project... Since then I have been searching online. I think I have found a notable personality. I want to contribute an article. I am aware that its acceptance is subject to notability criteria of Wikipedia policy.
Is the project still on? How do I go about contributing for that project? Could someone advice please?
Sincerely

@ Tagishsimon. Hello!
Thank you for the advise. I shall go about the article.
Regards

As this event has caused considerable interest in women and the gender gap, it might be useful to write a report on how everything went. It could perhaps be included in Signpost or simply posted on Women in Red for anyone interested. I would suggest members of WiR who took part in the physical editathons (i.e. at least Victuallers - London, Rosiestep - New York, Lirazelf - Glasgow) give an account of their experiences. Who was in Cardiff? (There could also be feedback from the coordinators from other locations such as Satdeep Gill, New Dehli, Nabin K. Sapkota, Kathmandu, and Smsarmad, Islamabad.)
We already have a number of details we might include:
I also think it would be useful to include links to some of the BBC broadcasts on the event, perhaps summarizing some of the most important items. See for example Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Meetup/29#Press_about_the_event]. Jimmy Wales was interviewed at least twice, once for the BBC World Service in English and once for the Spanish version. See for example here.
My own feeling about it all is that while the BBC seems to have done an excellent job on presenting a variety of women deserving recognition and explaining how the gender gap continues to prevent fuller coverage of women on Wikipedia, the outcomes of the editathons themselves were rather disappointing. I have not yet been able to identify any new editors from the BBC meetups on 8 December who have continued to edit since. (Please let me know of any who are still around. I have not had time to look into them all.) This is in sharp contrast to other editathons where at least a few have come on board. Was this because nearly all those who signed up were BBC staff with no further interest in contributing or was it the BBC's streamlined introduction to Wikipedia editing? (Their video on how to edit Wikipedia covered it all in just 90 seconds!)
I would welcome any further comments or suggestions on the event or indeed on the need for an article.--Ipigott (talk) 12:23, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
A few reflections:
More later, when I can think. Lirazelf (talk) 13:46, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
I still still bothered that the BBC editathon stole our flag and never correctly credited us. To be fair WMUK acknowledged us as an equal partner in their internal emails but we failed to see equal billing in the press and we were not properly attributed. One main contact was pressure that they applied to WMUK and me to stop our work. I resisted this but eventually gave in to a polite request to slow down our editting before December 8th. Luckily we extended the editathon by a week to allow some tidying up. Pleased that Rosie got to write a piece and especially the Ian has been contacted. The Women in Red lists were ascribed in one write up to be the creation of Art and Feminism!!!. Worst anecdote is that I trained a bright new editor to add two well cited paragraphs to an article and some (now trout slapped) editor failed to see an edit summary of "I'm new here please be gentle" and deleted her work within four minutes of it being posted. I discovered this several days later and I can only imagine the poor message this has given our once keen trainee editor. Do I need to add edit protection to new editors works?
Lessons Learnt (See Ewan's suggestion above) might include.
Finally: I have added some moans, niggles and rants above. BUT.... When Rosie and I finished our talk in Mexico in 2015 we never imagined that we would be collaborating with the BBC in 13 countries in 2016. It could be the brilliance of our talk ....... or the hard work that has been put in by several key people and hundreds of donations of time and brains. Thanks on behalf of our grand daughters. My suspicion is that others will try and steal our clothes. They are ours. Victuallers (talk) 14:52, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
I'm going to give out thank you s to at least the people who signed up for the event. I will miss lots of people so if you see others then feel free to steal my thanks note and spread it around. Victuallers (talk) 13:59, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
@Rosiestep and Victuallers: Mentioning "selected as one of the BBC's 100 Women" on the BLP's of the beneficiary would be considered neutral or not? Because one user think it is not neutral therefore should be removed, therefore would appreciate some input here please Talk:Maryam_Nawaz#BBC_100_Women. --Saqib (talk) 13:45, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
Hoi, My list includes the women for 2017 as far as they have been published. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 06:06, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi Women in Red Meetup! Thank you for working on this amazing initiative! I have uploaded images from the BBC 100 Women 2019: The Female Future London Conference at BBC Radio Theatre Thursday, 17 October 2019 (more about this event at https://www.bbc.com/news/world-49856545) feel free to use these images as you see fit to help depict BBC 100 Women and the awardees.
