Template
Hi there. To save you having to make continuous edits like this can I make you a template which will automatically show the relevant links? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:47, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, No Thank you. As background, the meet-up pages are created collaboratively. Finalization of the number and names of the pages are usually decided over the course of 10 days. For example, this month, while we had originally planned for a Stage + Screen, we are rescheduling it after we couldn't quite get the interest needed to move it forward. Each month from the 20th-30th is a stop and start process giving different time time-zones and editors a chance to participate. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem, just trying to make your life easier. Just let me know if there is anything you need. By the way, I have updated the instructions for adding a new event to the project banner at Template:WikiProject Women in Red/doc, for whenever you get round to creating the next one. I can assist if needed, but hopefully will be straightforward. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:51, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, Thanks for the ping. I will work with the new instructions for the March meetups. BTW, I really like the clickable, sort-able table at the top of the year category pages! It is such a nice visual display of quantitative information. I'd like to note it on our general WiR talk page, unless you would rather I didn't or are still working on it, or if I somehow missed it. Please ping to let me know. Thanks. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:32, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No that's fine, go ahead. I've just about finished working on all this now. I don't know if you noticed my attempt to categorise by series too, e.g. Category:WikiProject Women in Red Alphabet run articles &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:44, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * - no I hadn't. Very cool. Thanks.--WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Just as an example of what can be done, produces:

(Basically lists the current events in the month and year of that event.) This will automatically update when more events are added &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:54, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, Thanks for the ping. I can see that it all looks the same, but I still think that because the collaborative nature of the monthly page creation and announcements is not suited to an automated process. We like to have all the pages ready for the invitation several days ahead of that announcement, and then we do not update several pages until the first day of the month. I can't speak for the group, but my experience has been that we want things to be as close to perfect as possible as each page gets closer to being considered "final". We also ditch some ideas after the page is made. I do believe the possibility for confusion overrides the economy of editing time. Thanks again.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Photo of Walter Mears.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Photo of Walter Mears.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 03:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

The image is an Associated Press photo. See WP:F7 item b. -- Whpq (talk) 03:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Help with template for Electronic literature women writers
Hello! You very kindly offered to make a template for WikiProject Women writers/Women electronic literature writers a while ago but nobody came up with an image. I figured out how to make a template (I think) and just used an icon of a screen for lack of anything better, but I am not sure whether I did it right and would appreciate it if you could take a look! Since last time @LoveElectronicLiterature, the initiator of the task force, and the rest of us have established WP:WikiProject Electronic literature so the idea is that WikiProject Women writers/Women electronic literature writers will be a taskforce of  WikiProject Electronic literature. So I tried making the template for Electronic literature with a women=yes that notifies the women writers. This seems to populate categories OK but I can't figure out how to make the article alerts and so on like the cool projects have! My idea was that we could put a list of recent articles on the project page (both Electronic literature in general and Women electronic literature writers in particular). Could you help point me in the right direction, and check whether I made any mistakes in the template? Thanks!!! Lijil (talk) 07:31, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have read over your request and am sorry to say I think I do not have the skills to facilitate what you are asking. It sounds like you want the template to generate data for a Wikiproject. I don't know how to do that. Also, I don't understand how you have established WP:Wikiproject Electronic Literature if it is a redlink. Sorry I can't help, but it is beyond my skills, or I don't understand the request. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:38, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi We do have the page for the Electronic Literature project up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronic literature - Wikipedia LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Electronic_literature LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 23:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oops, I had the capital letters in the wrong place, so the WikiProjects showed up red, sorry about that. My request is probably confusing because I don't quite know how things work so what to ask for. I guess my basic request is if you would mind looking at the template I set up here: Template:WikiProject Electronic literature to see if it looks right. No worries if that's not your area of expertise :) Lijil (talk) 08:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, Looks good to me! --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:24, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Multi-month events
Hi. Next month do you think the translation event should be displayed under "July 2024" or in "Ongoing" like the annual events? At the moment it can't decide where to put it, which caused the error &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:00, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi I think it should be displayed under "July 2024" in July. You may get other opinions, but can you code it that way for now? Thank You! --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:24, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, so under "July 2024" in July, and then moving into "Ongoing" in August? That sounds good to me. By the same logic, should the annual events go into "January" in January and then move into "Ongoing" in February? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That's all sorted now I think! By the way, don't forget to update the number (like this) when copying the code from a previous event &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:53, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
