Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/University of Sydney Wikibomb/subjects
This is a preliminary list of possibly notable subjects for the Sydney University Wikibomb. Users are encouraged to choose a subject and list their username in the appropriate column, to ensure that others don't choose the same subject. If you choose a subject that is not on the current lists, please add the name to the final table on this page.
If you find an existing article on Wikipedia about any of the redlinked people, please create redirects from the redlinked pages to the existing article.
Women in the Australian Dictionary of Biography
[edit]The ADB can be used as a reliable source, so women in this list can usually be presumed to meet Wikipedia's Notability guidelines.
Do not copy text directly from the ADB - it is in Copyright. If you cite the ADB, a special citation template can be used: Template:Australian Dictionary of Biography.
This table was obtained from search results, so may contain women who were not directly associated with the University of Sydney. Please check this before choosing your subject. Those not associated with the University can be removed from the list.
Sydney alumni women with awards such as Australia Day Honours, Queen's Birthday Honours, Professorships or Rhodes Scholarships
[edit]These awards do not automatically mean that the recipients meet Wikipedia's Notability guideline. You will also need to find significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. We suggest a preliminary search for these sources before listing your username against a subject.
Other subjects
[edit]Again please note that if you choose someone who is currently at USyd, you really need to read and understand Wikipedia's conflict of interests guideline. If they are a friend or close colleague, you have a conflict of interests, and must manage it very carefully.
