Wikimedia Commons[edit]

Should there be a category for International Women's Strike at Wikimedia Commons, and should any of the Day Without a Woman categories be moved? I'm thinking we have the "International Women's Day in 2017" category, with "International Women's Strike" as a subcategory, which then has "Day Without a Woman" as a U.S.-specific subcategory. The Paro Internacional de Mujeres categories would be bumped over to become subcategories of the International Women's Strike category as well, right? Thoughts? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:29, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was bold and went ahead and created the Wikimedia Commons category International Women's Strike, which is a subcategory of International Women's Day in 2017.

The International Women's Strike category currently has Day Without a Woman as a subcategory, which has subcategories of its own for galleries holding images captured at various cities in the United States. @HelloStarling: Does this framework seem appropriate based on your understanding of International Women's Day, International Women's Strike, and Day Without a Woman? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:36, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's great, good way to give the nod to the international community as well! HelloStarling (talk) 03:34, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Still ongoing[edit]

This article makes it sound like the International Women's Strike only happened in 2017 and 2018. The strike however is still occurring every year in much of Latin America, especially South America (Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, etc.), although branded as "Paro Internacional de Mujeres" or the "8M Movement" (8M standing for 8th of March).
