Deletions
Please let me know if you have any objections.Tjepsen (talk) 04:24, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I recommend deletion of the following entries from Category:Women in technology:
 * Leah Culver - reason: possible copyright infringement
 * Rashmi Sinha - reason: no evidence of technological activity
 * I know it's a year later but why would you delete the category for either of these articles? Both are well known women who are tech startup founders. Culver in particular is active as a programmer. --Lizzard (talk) 05:22, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Good question. Originally there was some copyright protected material in the Culver entry which now has been removed, so I would have no problem reinstating it. As for Sinha, the article needs additional detail to meet notability requirements. If you have access to additional biographical material, this would make a great contribution!Tjepsen (talk) 17:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your Contributions
Thanks to everyone for your efforts - there are now more than 75 entries in Category:Women in technology category, in different stages of completion. I have edited the task force page to remove the entries that have already been completed, and added some suggestions for additional work items. Way to go, all!

 * Is this taskforce still active? Who is the "all" here? I'd like to help out. --Lizzard (talk) 05:24, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Lizzard. I'm not sure if there are a lot of watchers for this page, but there are many people interested in helping to diminish our gender gap on women in technology. If you want to collaborate with other users, you're more likely to get a response on the talk page for the Women's History project. If you're interested in scientists as well the recent Ada Lovelace Day editathons at Harvard and the Royal Society library were successes, but there are many leftover articles that could be created (mostly British and American scientists).

 * Hello Lizzard. This category has grown incrementally over the approx. 2 years it has been in existence to almost 200 entries.  It was originally created as part of the Women's History project cited above to include not only women engineers and scientists, but also inventors, technology workers, and social theorists.  There are plenty of opportunities here to improve biographical entries, and add subject entries that cut across conceptual boundaries - e.g. impact of women in various technical fields.Tjepsen (talk) 17:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
