DYK for Julia Bonds
[edit] | On 9 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Julia Bonds, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Julia Bonds was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for leading the fight against the practice of mountaintop removal mining in the Appalachian mountain range? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Invitation to WP:WMNHIST subproject for educators
[edit]Randolph, thanks for your participation in WikiProject Women's History. Since you've given Wikipedia assignments for courses before, I'd love to have your input on the new subproject for educators. If you'd be willing to provide links to assignments you've given and share your experiences, that would be really valuable for other faculty. And, of course, please spread the word about this to your colleagues (on Wikipedia or not). Cheers, ---Shane Landrum (cliotropic | talk | contribs) 00:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
- I've just added a link to the assignment you posted on the talk page in the Women's/gender history assignments section. If you'd like that link to go to a separate page in your user space, please update it appropriately. ---Shane Landrum (cliotropic | talk | contribs) 17:23, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Kentucky Women Remembered
[edit]Hi Randolph.hollingsworth. I saw your post at WikiProject Women's History and wondered if you knew about the Kentucky Commission on Women. There's a fair amount of crossover between the women listed there and your list of Kentucky women from the Civil Rights era. I was working on women's halls of fame a while back and there are a bunch listed at Template:United States Women's Halls of Fame, but Kentucky's isn't done yet. I believe that the Commission's Kentucky Women Remembered list could be made into an article and linked from that template. Let me know if you're interested in starting an article for Kentucky Women Remembered. Otherwise I may take a stab at it someday. Cheers, Gobōnobō + c 07:02, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Awesome, Gobōnobō! Yes, we have been working with Commissioner Jordan each semester I've offered the class. And you might see on some of the articles, anytime i could get the artist's permission to use the KY Women Remembered portrait, I've gotten it added to Wikimedia. We need help getting this going for all of them! This semester, I told Eleanor my class is working with the kY Commission on Human Rights as our service learning partner... But that I had seen the Hall of Fame entries for the other states and wondered if she wanted us to do Kentucky ... She said YES! and her staff is sending me the basic info for the list soon. I would greatly appreciate your help in getting a KY HoF article drafted properly and up sometime this spring! As you can see in the previous msgs, I am having some difficulty in getting my list article correctly formatted and published. Any suggestions there (see my sandbox)? Randolph.hollingsworth (talk) 18:55, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to try and help. I think the biggest hurdle with the list is defining its scope. The reason I mentioned developing a list from Kentucky Women Remembered is that the inclusion criteria are predefined, obviating the need to develop them. The inclusion criteria for your list (or index) should be clearly defined and may be a tad too specific. Focusing on Kentucky women is a given. Narrowing that to civil rights (broadly defined) could get a little hairy, but is probably doable. However, I think that limiting the list to a specific era with set years (1920s-1970s) could be problematic. First off, we'll need to know if women are eligible for inclusion if they were merely alive during that period or whether they have to have been active in civil rights activism during that period. How are you defining "civil rights" in this context? If you're including women's suffrage and abolitionism under that umbrella, you're going to be missing some women by only listing those who flourished after 1920. Gobōnobō + c 02:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- The Open Knowledge Initiative I'm working on is only about the time period after 1920 - of course, people's lives don't always fit neatly into a historical period but we always shove them in there, right? For example, Thomas Jefferson does not only neatly fits in the time period we associate with the American Revolution (depending on his particular time of life lived), but he also fits into the New National Republic Era (after the Revolution) beautifully for his work as a president, AND in the U.S. Antebellum period because of his family (families!) life (lives) as an innovative agrarian/industrialist and slaveowner as well as the father of free, freed and enslaved people. It gets very confusing, right? But somehow, it often seems ok when we're talking about men's lives to put one of them in different time periods based on the concepts/themes, but more troublesome if we imagine a woman as belonging very naturally in different historical time periods. Your comment was very helpful - I'm going to go back to my sandbox and try to explain that better. We're not wanting to include in this proposed list any of the U.S. abolitionists (1790s-1860s) or those involved in the woman's suffrage movement in the U.S. (1790s-1920), but focus on instead Kentucky women and their role in civil rights efforts after the 19th Amendment (1920) and up through the first stirrings of the Women's Liberation Movement coming up out of the African-American Civil Rights Movement (1960s and 70s). Does this help clarify? Randolph.hollingsworth (talk) 16:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it does. Thank you for the clarification. Gobōnobō + c 01:03, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

- If I were creating a list for the Kentucky Women Remembered, I would use a sortable table such as the one used in the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame. Sorting that list by birth date gives readers a general idea of the era that women are active in. Perhaps dropping the specific year criteria from your list and using a sortable table would do the trick. Gobōnobō + c 02:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Great idea - let's use this example once we get the info from the Commission on Women. I think you're mixing up the two projects in your last sentence above...? My list I've submitted (and which is still being held up by Wiki reviewers) has to do with my Open Knowledge Initiative www.kywcrh.org on Kentucky Women's History and the Long Civil Rights Era of the 20th century. Randolph.hollingsworth (talk) 16:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- I was using those as examples of how a list that spanned many eras could still be useful to readers who are only interested in women from a specific era. Gobōnobō + c 01:03, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- You might also want to check out Wikipedia's notability guideline for lists at WP:LISTN. Gobōnobō + c 02:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- It is entirely possible that Wikipedia's guidelines for lists/articles (and editors' interpretations of those guidelines) will not allow for a list that is going to exactly match your Open Knowledge Initiative. Very specific lists like this are unlikely to be linked to from other articles and tend to languish. Regardless, I'm willing to try it out and see if we can't make it work. If it is nominated for deletion, my guess is that it will be kept with a broader scope. I'll go ahead and move the article to the main space and make some small adjustments. If the article name isn't quite what it should be we can always move it. Gobōnobō + c 01:03, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Women in politics
[edit]Please note that women are not added directly to Category:Women in politics; that's an international category that would contain tens of thousands of women from all over the world (and thus be virtually unusable) if it were actually being used that way. Rather, each country has its own country-specific subcategory (e.g. Category:American women in politics) and each US state has its own state-specific one (e.g. Category:Women in Kentucky politics) — so each individual woman goes only in the most specifically appropriate subcategory and not in the undifferentiated worldwide one.

OER inquiry
[edit]Hi Randolph.hollingsworth, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:47, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest
[edit].png){kind=logo}

US Banknote Contest | 
|
|---|---|---|
| November-December 2019 | ||
|
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here | ||

Help with Mary Jane Warfield!
[edit]Hi there! I couldn't help but notice you created the page on the wonderful Elizabeth Fouse! I am also very passionate about women's history in Kentucky and I am trying to publish an article about Mary Jane Warfield Clay (she was an early suffragist and oversaw the construction of White Hall while her husband Cassius Clay remained in Russia). She also has a chapter in my favorite book, Kentucky Women: Their Lives and Times. I was wondering if you could help with the article so it has a better chance of being published this time around (it was rejected at first). Thank you so much for your contributions!

[edit]I'm reaching out because of your mention on the article's talk page. In its current state, the article could really use some credible citations. I've done some work pruning the article for some unencyclopedic descriptions, but it would be great to add citations to this article since it is a fundamental part of the last public execution in the USA. I'd be happy to do the work if you have any insight, or if you'd like to add citations yourself that'd be great too! I'm asking primarily because you're more likely to have knowledge of sources I don't :) --Marx01 Tell me about it 09:18, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your fantastic and quick response! Apologies if it seemed on the spot; it's just such a fascinating article and historical moment. Been seeing your additions and absolutely applaud them :) --Marx01 Tell me about it 04:55, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Women's biographies
[edit]Just a word to tell you that your excellent work on women who have contributed to the history of New Zealand and the United States has not gone unnoticed. Your recent Fanny Cole is particularly impressive. Maybe you would like to share your experience by becoming a member of wp:Women in Red.--Ipigott (talk) 06:35, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! This means a lot to me. I submitted my name for participating in Women in Red. Randolph.hollingsworth (talk) 20:37, 16 May 2021 (UTC) Randolph.hollingsworth (talk) 20:37, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for joining, Randolph, and welcome to the project. Gender and ethnicity are of course areas we are deeply interested in. If you have any ideas for further work on these, you should bring them up for discussion on our WiR talk page. If you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. As many of your articles have been about women involved in women's rights issues, you might well be interested in contributing to our focus on the topic throughout the year. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:33, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

H-Net
[edit]Hi Randolph, just a heads-up that I had to roll back the H-Net article to a 2019 version, due to large, POV edits by someone employed by the organization. Unfortunately, this resulted in several edits of yours from a year ago being removed at the same time. I'm sorry about that, and if you want to reinstate them, I'll work with you on that. Let me know. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 06:24, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for alerting me. I'll take a look and see what is needed (or not) and let you know. @Mathglot: Wow! That's a big cut-back. Yes, I'd like to put back my list of the networks and hubs, but if there's a more efficient way to design it than what I had originally, I'd really like to have your help in doing so.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
[edit]
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
