I. A. R. Wylie
I. A. R. Wylie's article states that she is Australian-British-American. I have reviewed a number of the references but could find no mention that she was either a US citizen or a permanent resident. Could someone here take a look. Also see a couple of comments on the article's talk page. Thank you. 76.14.122.5 (talk) 05:31, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Possible article on Cambridge Law School for Women?
I was just updating the page of Isabelle Kendig today and stumbled upon this former (and sadly short-lived) law school (also known as CLSW), after finding a longish academic article on it. Some preliminary digging and I found articles in the New York Times (also see here), Harvard Crimson, Law and Social Inquiry, Harvard Gazette, mention on page 61 of this article, Vassar Newspaper (also see here), American Law School Review, The Catholic Telegraph, Sisters in Law: Women Lawyers in Modern American History, The Harvard Graduates' Magazine, Law School: Legal Education in America from the 1850s to the 1980s, Harvard Alumni Bulletin, Annual Report - Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, The Intellectual Sword: Harvard Law School, the Second Century, and mention on the Cambridge Women's Heritage Project website. Other than the mention on Kendig's page, CLSW is briefly mentioned on the Law school in the United States page. Do you all think that's enough to start a page, or should I keep trying to find more sources? Historyday01 (talk) 03:32, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a class parameter to WikiProject banner shell, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to WikiProject banner shell, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass WPBannerMeta a new custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Talk:Catherine de' Medici
Hiya, women historians and historians of women. No judgments/subtext intended but—for those here who are interested in fashion and/or the women who martyr themselves on its altars—there's a small mystery at the Catherine de' Medici article.

The internet as a whole has absolutely fantastic blog entries (sample) about how this cuttingly intelligent but physically still-a-frickin'-14-year-old girl accidentally opened the part of Pandora's box that had been holding back high heels while trying to impress her older royal never-met-before husband-to-be and to intimidate his known-to-be-gorgeous mistress(es). Somehow that is what stuck from the era—not the foot-long pointed toes or foot-wide flippers—and, after spending an amusing interlude causing royalist cavalrymen to fall over a lot, became the women's footwear we all know and loave today.

Thing is, our Catherine de' Medici article doesn't mention her involvement in popularizing heels at all. Not in the (lengthy) article. Not anywhere in the (lengthy) talk page with no archives. I assume that means there's some solid reason to doubt the current internet lore but it's widespread enough across blogs, newspaper articles, and some histories of footwear and fashion that it's actually worth including a paragraph in the article even if it's wrong just to clearly debunk it. Anyone here know what's going on with that? Kindly respond at the talk page itself since I'll also crosspost this request to WPFASHION and WPFRANCE. — Llywelyn II   12:55, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Questioning notability of Anita Bobasso
Partially copied from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Argentina

During arguments with another user over content within this article, I have performed a WP:BEFORE on this subject and could not find any sources to establish notability for either of them. While my next step is an attempt at deletion, I do not see any success with a PROD, and while I would like to send one or both of these articles to AfD, I am currently not inclined, as my search was only limited to English language sources. Is there anyone more experienced with this subject able to assess this article and see if it's possible to AfD? I will support deletion if the arguments are strong enough. Thanks!
