Loved your first column and looking forward to more. I've come across a lot of women with incredible life stories, but this one is still tugging at me: Deolinda Rodríguez de Almeida. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:41, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@OwenBlacker: Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. @Rosiestep: Thank you! Deolinda will be included in my next column for sure. (Give me a poke if you have others you want me to include!) Keilana (talk) 04:47, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Came here to say what OwenBlacker said. Best thing that has been in the Signpost for years. It's probably a one-shot – it would get old pretty fast if you tried to do it in the same way on a regular basis – but you pulled it off this time. I couldn't get enough. Well done. – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:36, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I remember feeling like this when I wrote Jessie Bonstelle. Unfortunately I seem to have dropped off article writing lately, so much gratitude to you and others who keep on working at the gender gap. I enjoyed your Signpost piece as well :) BethNaught (talk) 08:16, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work Keilana, this one is from January (probably the last article I wrote), but Esther Applin discovered that microfossils could be used to date oil-bearing rock formations, which revolutionized oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico region, should you want to use it. When I head back overseas I will actually have a computer with me (just ordered it yesterday) so I can actually write shit in the evenings, rather than reading the Arb mailing list on my phone.

  • This motivated me into writing an article on someone I can't believe I had to write an article on; Rosalie Slaughter Morton. Expected to learn how to be a "capable wife", she instead decided to travel around Europe and Asia studying medicine before chairing the Public Health Education Committee, becoming a professor of gynecology, working in field hospitals during the First World War, co-founding the American Women's Hospitals Service, raising today's equivalent of $5 million in 10 days to send female physicians abroad, and educating young Serbians who were affected by the war. Looking forward to next week's post! Sam Walton (talk) 13:04, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Samwalton9: Whoa, what an awesome lady! I'll definitely include her in the next edition - can I quote you? :) Keilana (talk) 18:27, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And desired reproduction of public domain texts?

[edit]

Following from your op-ed, what are your scientific works by women in the public domain that you would like to see (Wikisource) reproduced? Would love to see a list added to s:Wikisource:Requested texts so we can feed them into s:Wikisource:Proofread of the Month. We have focused on women's works, though cannot remember that we have come across any requests for works of women's scientists, and guess that we are talking an earlier period that they are going to be harder to find. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:23, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Billinghurst: There are so many awesome old papers by women scientists that should be on Wikisource! I'm not sure how many have been digitized, but I'll see if I can come up with a list of collections. Thank you! Keilana (talk) 06:01, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, thanks to you. I have been working through papers on women's suffrage "just because". If there is stuff needed over here, to support this wonderful goal, it works for all parties to support achieving the outcome. I did find a paper by Mme. Curie for radium, and that will come after I finish putting together Swanwick's s:The Future of the Women's Movement today or tomorrow. :-) — billinghurst sDrewth 05:44, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Billinghurst: That's fantastic! I look forward to reading Mme. Curie's papers on Wikisource! Keilana (talk) 06:05, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The paper ended up being a simple, though attractive little read s:The Discovery of Radium, with a nice handwritten note from Curie to the students. enWS is reorganising our Proofread of the Month actions to align with Wikipedia's Women's History Month, so hopefully the project can identify public domain works they would like to see worked upon through March; I have left the project a note. I'm pondering Elizabeth Lee's Wives of the prime ministers, 1844-1906 as something different and while I await other suggestions. :-) — billinghurst sDrewth 12:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What a lovely piece of history to have on Wikisource now! Mme Curie jumps off the page. Thank you! Keilana (talk) 13:03, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That was awesome

[edit]

Thank you for a refreshing, sarcastic in-your-face it's-about-damn-time-we-get-upset-about-this-shit op ed in the signpost. The tone was exactly what it should be: a reflection of the incredible frustrated 'wtfness' of this situation (and the fact, quite frankly, that there are still people who refuse to believe that bias exists...) It was absolutely the most suitable tone, and I really don't see how it would've worked with any other. You write brilliantly, and we need to continue raising attention to systemic bias on WP. Rock on, and please rock again! Mooeypoo (talk) 06:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Feeling stupid

[edit]

I just don't get it. I hate feeling stupid and loathe not getting jokes (if it's a joke). Please can you explain the connection between countering systemic bias, which is a brilliant thing to do, and using bad language? Yours in genuine puzzlement and looking forward to applauding/laughing/both, --Dweller (talk) 11:01, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not Kei, but I think her decision was an "in your face" use of shocking language, sort of like [2] this; and a bit like African-American folks calling each other the N-word as a reverse psychology that pokes at the oppression behind the word. (Maybe Kei didn't even know that she was making such an archetypal statement) Given the totality of the circumstances (and my past support for Eric Corbett during "c-gate", which was a different kind of in your face bad language also intended to make a point, albeit a different one) I think we all should just drop the swearing stick and let it go. I call it square. Montanabw(talk) 17:22, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Er, what? Swearwords to get attention? Isn't that what teenagers do? Surely not. I don't get the parallel with African Americans calling each other the N word, either. Keilana? --Dweller (talk) 21:17, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Kei's not a teenager ;-) I suspect either Reverse psychlogy -- or just creating discomfort to prove a point. Or maybe she's just really grumpy about all the wonderful women who don't have wikipedia article (and the depressing number that have been Afd'd in the past).

Vera Fretter

[edit]

Hi Keilana. Not sure if you noticed, but the comment I dropped off at the Signpost article you wrote mentioned Vera Fretter and the earlier user talk page conversation we had here. That article was created by Rich Farmbrough and I've since tidied it up and expanded it very slightly. Do you still have access to the Haines book I mentioned earlier, and/or this pdf: VERA FRETTER J. Mollus. Stud. (1993) 59 (2): 267-268 (the latter behind a paywall)? Other sources that I might try and track down: Journal of Conchology, Volume 34, pp.337–338 (which will be an expanded version of an existing obituary) and The Independent (12 November 1992) and the University of Reading Bulletin No 258, December 1992 (the latter will be a bit obscure!). Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 08:12, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Carcharoth: Hi! I have access to Haines in physical form and would be happy to scan and send you pages. I looked through my library holdings and we don't have any of the other articles, unfortunately. Do you want the Haines pages, though? Best, Keilana (talk) 17:52, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the offer. I can see a preview of the Vera Fretter entry in Haines online, so that is OK for now. Will keep looking for the other articles. It has been interesting reading related articles such as Ruth Turner and E. Alison Kay and Marie Lebour (you started that one in November 2015). Carcharoth (talk) 23:48, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Carcharoth: Awesome! I look forward to seeing how the article develops. I'm glad you like the other articles - reading about all these women and learning about their lives is so much fun. :) Keilana (talk) 10:14, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting biographical dictionary of women in science

[edit]

Hi Keilana. I have just come across the biographical dictionary: Ogilvie, Marilyn; Harvey, Joy (16 December 2003). The Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science: Pioneering Lives From Ancient Times to the Mid-20th Century. Routledge. ISBN 978-1-135-96343-9. It contains many short biographies which are accessible on line as well as a wide range of other interesting sources. I don't know whether you have a bibliography in connection with Women in Science. If so, I think it should be included. In the meantime, I have simply added it to the Women section of the Bibliography of encyclopedias.--Ipigott (talk) 10:42, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ipigott: Ooh, that's my favorite women scientists book! I actually wrote Dr. Ogilvie fan mail one time. (She answered!) There's a bibliography at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists/Bibliography, feel free to add anything you find! All the best, Keilana (talk) 04:57, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's an excellent list of works you have there. I've added a "see also" link to it from Bibliography_of_encyclopedias:_general_biographies#Women. When I have a bit more time, I'll pick out the dictionaries, lexica and encyclopaedic items and incorporate them in the list. I don't know whether you noticed that the link I cited above to the Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science also provides online access to many bibliographies. These should be useful to those working on women in science throughout the year. There is also a complete index of the names of those included in the dictionary. In that connection, I don't know whether you have noticed but Rosiestep has put together a page on Celebrating Wikipedia Year of Science but it has been static since the day she created it. I see people have been creating lots of new articles on Women in Science, several of which have appeared on DYK. Would you be interested in publicizing the page and adding new articles and DYKs? If so, I would be happy to sign up as a participant and help you along.--Ipigott (talk) 08:30, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for helping contribute to the bibliography! I've got a med school interview tomorrow (eeek!) but after that I'm happy to keep track of new articles and DYKs. Keilana (talk) 22:15, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an article idea for you.

[edit]

Ann Bowling. (more than one woman scientist of that name, by the way, so perhaps Ann T. Bowling) Geneticist at UC Davis, died in 2000, her genetic studies of Arabian horses were extremely cool, particularly early identification of the genetic mechanism behind cerebellar abiotrophy. Literally wrote the textbook in her time. (here). Her contributions to equine coat color genetics also very significant. Something like 90 genetic conditions in horses have human equivalents. She also helped preserve the Przewalski's horse and did preliminary work that later led to the mapping of the horse genome. I have a few research articles I can contribute to a general effort. like this one. Interested? Some starter links: (good overview bio), (book), [3], (obit), (obit), (minor mention) Montanabw(talk) 20:12, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ooooh! I am intrigued! (And as soon as I finish work and chores for the day, I'll start in on it!) You know the best way to get my attention - genetics and women scientists. Keilana (talk) 20:52, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Montanabw: It's a blue link now! :D Just a quick stub I wrote on the train but we can totally collab on expanding it. What a fascinating life she led! Thanks for letting me know about her. :) Keilana (talk) 15:20, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome! I'll post some more links at the article talk page for additional sourcing. Montanabw(talk) 22:00, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I drilled down and found out how she seriously kicked ass. Now can you go and copyedit a bit? My eyeballs are fried. Also, I'm going to do a DYK nom... think about a hook in case the one I suggest is boring. Montanabw(talk) 07:59, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Montanabw: Whoa, she did indeed kick ass! My brain's a bit fried but I'll give it my best shot. :) Keilana (talk) 15:54, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And for an equine geneticist, "Whoa!" is just the right thing to say! LOL! BTW, the thing of her being the one who "busted" Impressive (horse) as the source of HYPP (which also has a human variant, BTW) was something I didn't know, and that was a HUGE scandal for the AQHA -- that took a LOT of guts (people in the Arabian world got death threats over accusations that their horses carried SCID, just to give you some idea of how strongly people feel about this genetic disease stuff in horses.) The big deal about equine genetics is how many things affect horses and humans (as well as other diseases, for example, I think they are the only two mammals to suffer from a similar form of COPD) Montanabw(talk) 20:37, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's totally fascinating! I'm so glad I got to learn about this. For some reason I didn't have horses as one of those mammals that's very close to humans in terms of diseases, but clearly that was wrong! Keilana (talk) 05:31, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
People and horses can both be affected by SCID, and there are human versions of HYPP and LWS (as noted here and in article) also, though it wasn't Bowling's research that dug this up (though people she trained were involved) HERDA is an equine version of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. That's just a few I know about off the top of my head. The Friesian horse has a bunch of stuff with human equivalents (megaesophagus, etc.) and miniature horses have problems with hereditary dwarfism. Montanabw(talk) 23:17, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eva von Bahr

[edit]

During proofreading the article about Lise Meitner in Wikipedia in Norwegian Bokmål/Riksmål I translated and expanded the article about her close friend Eva von Bahr, a Swedish physicist. Eva von Bahr was a pioneer in her field in Sweden and she was also very active in supporting Meitner during and after the first world war and during her escape out of Germany in 1938. It was also during a visit to von Bahr that Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch described fission as what was behind the results that Meitner former colleagues Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann had obtained.

I am open for translating the article about Eva von Bahr into English, but as English is not my native language I need someone to proofread it, so if you or someone you know can take that part I can do a first translation. Ulflarsen (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm giving you a Press Barnstar in recognition of this BBC article about you, and a Content Creativity Barnstar in recognition of your work creating articles on female scientists.

I happened to see the BBC article while looking up a source for Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel having studied chemistry, after seeing their names in this short list of female scientists*—all of whom we have articles on, though some are short. I thought I recognized your name and username (which was given in the picture credit) from somewhere, but wasn't sure where. So I came to your user page to check, and I recognized the page for sure. I still don't remember where I came across you before—a proposal or application of some kind, maybe, because I remember you declaring your NIOSH account? Anyway, I think your work and way of responding to online harassment are fantastic—probably the most constructive response to bullying I've ever seen.

sorry about my fellow mankind

[edit]

hello there Kay,

first off I would like to say that you are a very pretty young woman. But that being said, that doesn't give any person, male or female, tho I think it's probably more the former, to put you into any situation that makes you feel uncomfortable let alone, in a sexual, or even in a suggestive way. I know comments can be just as bad, and sometimes even worse.

so I would like to say sorry for every single person who have ever harassed you, just remember they only try to put you down to feel better about themselves unfortunately. so sorry again for that. if you ever get comments again just think, "who are you?", who is this person, why should anything they say matter, the person is nothing to me so don't care about what they think, all that matters is what you think of yourself, then go and kick their bums by being the best you can be.

love the great work

I know you are not the only one to receive hurtful messages like these, but I wanted to apologize and say that I admire you for turning it into a positive thing. It's pigs like that that give us men a bad name. Hang in there and again I'm sorry that you have to deal with garbage like that.

Sylvy Kornberg (June 11 1917-June 1 1986), nee Sylvy Ruth Levy, wife of Arthur Kornberg and his collaborator in isolating DNA polymerase. After he was awarded the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1959 she was quoted as saying "I was robbed" (my source is Arthur's autobiography, For the Love of Enzymes). I'm not sure if suitable sources exist and as I don't have access to university libraries any more I'm not really in a position to do the research myself.

I'm most impressed with your work!-gadfium 19:54, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Gadfium: Thanks so much! I'll look into her - from encountering similar women (e.g. Marguerite Lwoff, just off the top of my head), I bet I can dig up some good stuff about her.

Kudos

[edit]

Good morning, recently saw the press about your writing for Wiki. I too enjoy writing for Wiki. I continue to write my quarterly stamp-based articles for my profession, health physics. I also find time to write biographical articles on persons of note in science, that up until my writings, have been generally unknown or forgotten. I choose my subjects based on what a quick search reveals about an individual. A good motivation for me is when Wikipedia reveals noting about someone or at least very little. Sometimes I work from a Wiki article in another language (Spanish, French, German, Russian and Portuguese, so far) and translate that article into English and fill in more details that are revealed through my researches. Sometimes I begin with individuals on stamps that I am using for my stamp column and then write a biographical article from that beginning point of a stamp. The path that I follow to discover a person's life history often leads me to other individuals, companies, events that (I feel) need to be written about to tell a better story of a person's life and times. The time period is late 1860s to the 1930s, so my researches are rather challenging and lengthy and time consuming. I delight in writing about women in science, as I have 3 daughters and fancy their interest in science and technology. So far I have not written about many Americans, but they do creep into my writings from time to time. Sorry for these ramblings, but I feel that you as a writer and editor can appreciate my perspective. To date I have only written about 3 or 4 living individuals, and do so with their involvement or at least editorial review. I have written to family members, historical societies and university libraries in my pursuits for information. Along the way I have encountered additional leads for further research and articles to write. Many interesting stories and relationships have been revealed to me, some that I cannot write for Wikipedia. Others add to the character of an individual.

I must note that Wikipedia is THE MOST DIFFICULT publication to write for, including any professional journal that I have encountered. You simply cannot just pass something off and have it remain on Wiki. A very rigorous process to get published and have it stick. That is, not have what you have written blocked or deleted. I have written over 160 original articles and made over 14,000 edits. So much fun!

Anyway, sorry for this lengthy message. Just more of the background story about myself. By the way, how did you get picked up by the press? My daughters are beginning to write for Wiki!InfoDataMonger (talk) 13:22, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2) I tagged Marie Lebour with

WikiProject iconWomen scientists NA‑class

- did I do this right?

3) I started a page for Rosa Mabel Lee - is this good enough to publish?

Any advice welcome Sarahshoes66 (talk) 22:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delay

[edit]

Hmm I posted twice because the first seemed to disappear. Is there always some delay to things appearing - or is it just my wifi? Sarahshoes66 (talk) 22:25, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarahshoes66: Hi Sarah, it's probably an issue with your page cache causing things to delay a bit. You did great by adding yourself to the Women Scientists list and tagging an article - thanks for that! The article draft looks like a great start, but I think it needs a quick copyedit before you're ready to move it into the main article space. If you want, I'm happy to give it a once-over. Welcome to Wikipedia! Happy editing, Keilana (talk) 22:30, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you could have a look I would be very grateful, any pointers to what would improve it are welcome. Sarahshoes66 (talk) 19:18, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarahshoes66: I went through it and gave it a quick copyedit and did some formatting. I would suggest you make sure that everything in the article is cited before you submit it - but it looks great! Nice job! :) Keilana (talk) 20:58, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ill have a look Sarahshoes66 (talk) 20:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Irma Adelman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Palestine. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

2016 GA Cup-Round 2

[edit]
WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 1

Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Sainsf took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points.

In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year! At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490. We continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible.

To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here

Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule.

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

LGBT scientists

[edit]

Hey, Keilana! I know you are super busy, and I certainly don't want to add more work to your plate, but if and only if you are interested, I was wondering if you might consider compiling a list of LGBT scientists missing Wikipedia article as part of this year's Wiki Loves Pride campaign. They could be male or female, but given your work related to female scientists, I assume you may be more familiar with LGBT female scientists. Anyways, I am less familiar with scientists, but if given a list of LGBT scientists, I'd be happy to help create articles during the June campaign. If compiling a list would require tons of time, don't worry about it, but if you have the ability to curate a list with little effort, it would be great to have target articles to create during Wiki Loves Pride. Thanks for your consideration, and hope to see you again soon. Perhaps in Berlin? Best, ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:14, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Female scientists, etc.

[edit]

Hi Emily- I'm not sure we've had many dealings on Wikipedia before, but I just wanted to say that I'm a big admirer of your Women Scientists project (my tiny contribution, for what it's worth, is an article on Siobhan O'Sullivan- I hope to do some more in time). I don't know if you're aware of this, but there's a similar problem about women's work being overlooked (and women being underrepresented) in philosophy, which has led to a variety of projects, including the Society for Women in Philosophy and Project Vox, the latter of which aims to "recover the lost voices of women who have been ignored in standard narratives of the history of modern philosophy". Maybe in time there could be a project on Wikipedia focused on women in philosophy; I know there was some talk of one, but I can't remember off the top of my head who was spearheading it. Anyway, do keep it up, and I'll hopefully see you around. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:22, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@J Milburn: Thanks so much! I agree - there is definitely room for more women in philosophy and a WikiProject is a great idea. Keilana (talk) 20:38, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Women are everywhere"

Hi Keilana. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it.

Help! Gibberish!

[edit]

A user created the very necessary article endometrial cup, but as I've tried to expand it, I'm finding that the medical terminology is complete gibberish to me. Can you peek at [6] and other sources to see if you can add this material into the article in some way that avoids close paraphrasing but is comprehensible -- preferable with some good wikilinks?

Wikimania

[edit]

Hello Keilana

I would like to know if you plan to attend Wikimania in Italy in June. The Program Committee is looking for a speaker to a user digest presentation on the topic of "imbalance". It will not be strictly about the gender gap, but it would obviously be a big part of it. We are looking for a speaker who has knowledge of the topic but is also good at speaking and engaging an audience. And your name was one of the those suggested to do it :) What do you think ? Drop me a message on my talk page in any cases. Thanks Anthere (talk) 13:57, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2016 GA Cup-Round 3

[edit]
WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 3

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

Thursday saw the end of Round 2. Sainsf once again took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 996 (a higher score then he received in Round 1!). In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 541 points, and in third place, Carbrera received 419 points.

In Round 2, 142 reviews were completed! At the beginning of April, there were 486 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 384. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [8]; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months.[9] It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep lowering the backlog as much as possible.

To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard. We had an unusual occurrence happen in Round 2: because only one contestant submitted reviews in one pool, we selected the contestant with the next highest score to move forward to Round 3. (There will be a rule change for future competitions in case something like this happens again.) For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 3 will start on May 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on May 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here.

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Eleven Featured Pictures were promoted (six by There's always time for skeletons Adam Cuerden (submissions) and five by Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions)). One Featured Portal, Featured Topic and Good Topic were also promoted. The DYK base point total was 1,135. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) scored 265 base points, while British Empire The C of E (submissions) and Denmark MPJ-DK (submissions) each scored 150 base points. Eleven ITN were promoted and 131 Good Article Reviews were conducted with Denmark MPJ-DK (submissions) completing a staggering 61 reviews. Two contestants, Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and New South Wales Cas Liber (submissions), broke the 700 point mark for Round 2.

GA Cup-Round 3 Clarification

[edit]
WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 3

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

It has been brought to our attention that we made a mistake in the last newsletter. In the last newsletter, we said that the "4th place" overall would make the Final along with the top user from each pool. However, the users who will advance will be the top user from each pool along with "4th and 5th place" overall.

We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that we caused.

Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Requested Unblock, Did You Get my Email

[edit]

Hi Keilana, did you and the rest of the Arbcom mailing list receive my email of April 24? I asked to be unblocked. I was a contributor of solid content for five or six years before I was perma-blocked without warning with a button click falsely labeling me a sockpuppet by an administrator that didn't explain anything.

I was proud of my contributions to Wikipedia and would like to do so again. As you look into my case (as I expect you to, given your position as arbitrator) do not accept as fact any accusation against me without allowing me to respond. I have endured many many lies and WP:AN/ANI mob attacks in which I was muted and my defenses erased, resulting in damage to my reputation as an editor. Further, do not accept the assertion of Thryduulf at my talkpage that I am on an "appeal timer," because he has no authority to do any such thing and there is nothing in policy that allows him this, as well his purporting timing is unevidenced and suspect.

Answer my email or unblock my talkpage and we'll be able to communicate about this important matter. Colton Cosmic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.195.209.135 (talk) 15:18, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How many edits of mine were deleted? I think the answer is "one" (one redirect I created mysteriously doesn't appear in my contributions anymore), but I'm not sure (maybe I'm crazy). Ser Arthur Dayne (talk) 06:42, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Was/is this edit correct? (I mean, she is not the president anymore, but she still is the first (and will always be!), I am confused, haha?¿ -- But she still is alive, that's why we use "is"? I am definitely confused!) Ser Arthur Dayne (talk) 07:32, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I once created an account with woman name and then made some edits on the Spanish Wikipedia and in a few hours many guys began to flatter me. That was funny. :D Ser Arthur Dayne (talk) 07:19, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I think that creating 1000 articles about women scientists is not so effective for your cause in comparison to what it would be to spread the word about super giants like Emmy Noether, Marie Curie... etc... There was a recent movie about Ramanujan (mathematician from very poor conditions) and another about Turing (homosexual mathematician), but I don't think there was once a movie about women&super geniuses Noether or Curie. I may be wrong of course. Ser Arthur Dayne (talk) 07:54, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I wish you good luck in your cause... I am not a woman but I have a 3-years-old daughter... I know this sounds egoist ("oh, only because you have a daughter, otherwise you would not care!"), but it's at least true and my sincere reason, haha.
