We are thrilled to invite you to Wikipedia APA, an editing event for improving and increasing the presence of cultural, historic, and artistic information on Wikipedia pertaining to Asian Pacific American ("APA") experiences. The second Wikipedia editathon dedicated to APA content, this project will occur as physical events during September 2015... as well as remotely, with participants taking part from all throughout the world." Facilitator: Women in Red (WiR) Did you Know that 15% of the biographies on Wikipedia are about women? Not impressed? WiR focuses on "content gender gap". If you'd like to help contribute articles on women and women's works, we warmly welcome you! WiR will be hosting one of this world virtual edit-a-thon. The 3-day event will focus on improving Wikipedia's coverage of Asian Pacific American women and their works (books, paintings, and so on).

Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better

Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I saw the word "rapper" and I was like, "YES I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT HER." Fuzchia (talk) 23:05, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Re: Olga Bell

I was patrolling new pages as I had some time. The lead section is supposed to summarize the article in general. In this case, it read more like a random sentence that was separated from the article body for the sake of saying that the article had a lead section. This being a musician, I would expect to at least read something in the lead pertaining to her career, rather than only reading a list of places she's lived during her life.

thanks for the kind remarks. I suppose I shouldn't waste my time with venting about ignorant Milhist members going on a lady novelist deletion crusade. slowly but surely, we have increased the coverage of women scientists, artists, and writers. but the privileged culture is unfazed by scorn and derision of reasonable people. I see too much of this done to newbies which leads directly to editor decline. if you're available October 9–11, 2015, for wikiconference usa [1] submit a travel grant now, you could meet all the braintrust, even DGG.

Thanks for your excellent work on the article. I cleaned it up but didn't have time to do the subject justice. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 22:03, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
