[edit]Hi Kokobe1! I created the article on Lise-Marie Déjean. Thanks for helping to improve it! I noticed that you had some difficulties with relating articles. I would be happy to help, if you would need any help on creating new articles on these matters. I don't know the subject too well, but I can read if you have any good French sources to use (I read well enough French). Tanzania (talk) 18:41, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Tanzania and warm greetings to all. I am new to creating pages, soft redirects, and interlanguage links. It seems like the English Wikipedia standards are against referencing non-English Wikipedia entries and I do not have the time at the moment to translate and verify the "Solidarite Fanm Ayisyèn" and "Ministère à la Condition féminine et aux Droits des femmes" pages so I can create English equivalents. I could contribute bit by bit to an English-language stub for the respective English titles of both organizations, "Haitian Women's Solidarity" and "Ministry on the Status and Rights of Women". (I think that any offices or ministries should have the country in their title, i.e. "Ministry on the Status and Rights of Women in Haiti"). I could also provide more citations to support the development of entries on Dr. Déjean and other important persons in the movement, like the late Anne-Marie Coriolan, who was one of the founding members of SOFA and who already has a page in the English-language Wikipedia that someone else created. I recognize that I do need to add citations to the edits that I made for Dr. Déjean's entry. Thank you for clarifying your French-language skills, Tanzania. I look forward to more discussion and modifications on this topic, little by little.Kokobe1 (talk) 19:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)Kokobe1
- Hi Kokobe1! I did translations of the two articles into English. Now there is at least a foundation if you want to improve it. It would be wonderful to have articles on also other prominent Haitian feminists. Tanzania (talk) 07:28, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you Tanzania, there are good resources out there to try to pinpoint some of the details like the openly accessible Radio Haiti Inter archives at Duke University (particularly Jan Dominique's interviews) as well as some publications, including dissertations and out-of-print sources by Marie M.B. Racine, Marlene Racine-Toussaint, Myrtha Gilbert, Sabine Lamour (sociologist and current SOFA general coordinator), Myriam Chancy, Clorinde Zéphir (and her post-2010 publication of all the "Ayiti Fanm" issues generated by ENFOFANM in a hardback volume), the late Mireille Neptune Anglade, Beverly Bell, the late Myriam Merlet, etc. The death of key movement members from the 2010 earthquake prompted some coverage of their lives: Anne-Marie Coriolan, Myriam Merlet, and Magalie Marcelin. There are also some scholars who cover the earlier history of Haitian women's activism and have done a lot of archival work and interviewing of activists in Haiti and it diaspora, like Grace Sanders Johnson. In its official Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/sofa.ofisyel/), SOFA does mention more about important historical figures like Yanick Rigaud and Yvonne Hakim Rimpel so it can be a guide to look for newspaper articles and other publications on Haitian feminists and Haitian proto-feminists. It seems like SOFA website (http://sofahaiti.org/) is not updated as regularly. So these are some of the writers and locations where I am looking for citations. Best wishes.Kokobe1 (talk) 18:16, 5 May 2021 (UTC)Kokobe1
