Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/311

Hi, , , I have copied over the discussion from the WikiProject Women in Red/Ideas over here. I am hoping someone will add a the fountain tool for participant registration. Below points to examples and text from previous events.

, I tried to put a three month span for this event at WikiProject Women in Red/events. My coding created an error, so undid it. Could you take a look?

, May we ping you with questions about the fountain tool?

pinging and, so you know this convo is here. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 22:46, 19 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @WomenArtistUpdates: Thanks for the ping! I don't have capacity to create a Fountain tool myself (@Nattes à chat, wondering if you might?), but am happy to help with page set-up. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 23:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, Would you set up a fountain registration, one like 100 DC Women, with the big blue buttons on this page.? Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 19:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Absolutely! Gamaliel  ( talk ) 14:21, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you ! Can you direct me to information on reviewing and "marking" submissions? Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 19:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Here you go:  If you want me to add anyone else as a judge, let me know.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 20:20, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, , , Would any of you care to be added as judges? We just need to verify that the text runs 160 words or 1,000 via the fountain tool (see Gamaliel's link to instructions above). My plan is to grab a screen shot of the rankings at the end of each month and do the math & barnstars. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:03, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @WomenArtistUpdates @Gamaliel, I'd be happy to be added as a judge. My capacity isn't going to be great over the next few months (expecting my first baby in August!) but marking submissions for compliance with the rules seems like it would be a nice low-effort Wiki task. :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 03:01, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gamaliel @WomenArtistUpdates yup add me too - although I start a new job this month. Also CONGRATS @Chocmilk03 what wonderful news! Lajmmoore (talk) 17:56, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Lajmmoore thank you!! Super stoked :) and congrats on your new role, as well! Chocmilk03 (talk) 02:00, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

, I think some recent coding (extra talk page template?) has moved the categories to just below the "Welcome!" banner rather than the bottom of the page. Seems to across pages. Could you take a look? Thanks Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 20:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Ah yes, that was my fault. Fixed now! &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you ! --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 14:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Translation contest 2024 July, August, September
See suggestion made here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red. Last time we did it: #227 in April-May-June 2022. What about scheduling it for June-July-August 2024? --Rosiestep (talk) 16:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi and, If WiR does another translation event I think we should wait until the Alphabet Run ends, so start in July rather than June. Also, are either of you willing to be the point person for tallying articles, or should we use a Fountain registration? The WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/227 page shows the outcomes and general setup for the 2022 version. The talk page of the event gives an idea of the behind the scenes mechanics and barnstars etc. for the 2022 version. I am pinging  because it would be great to have their feed-back about moving the event and housekeeping  tasks. Also pinging  who worked on the last translation event. An example of a Fountain event is 100 DC Women. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 20:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Starting in July makes sense, . Unfortunately, I won't be able to help with supportive tasks (because of the other hat that I wear). But I certainly look forward to participating! --Rosiestep (talk) 06:27, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping, @WomenArtistUpdates. I'm afraid I have absolutely no experience with the logistics of this sort of contest and regret I am unable to take it on, given what I currently do towards WIR's overall statistics, running gender reports etc. I have, however, worked out how to create event pages using the new system and am happy to update redlists and proofread pages. Oronsay (talk) 01:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi ! Thanks for the response. Sorry I stated it poorly, but I wanted your opinion of moving the event, I did not mean to suggest you help monitor. Your plate is waaaay too full. That said, I have moved the event to July. WiR does love a challenge and we keeping kicking challenge/contest suggestions down the road because of the effort involved. I think it is time to try out the Fountain tool as a way of tallying entries. has graciously, in the past (years ago??), offered to walk me through setting it up  and I will probably be asking for their help at the end of June. It will also be an opportunity to more fully understand how an event template spans months (July through September). I'll be pinging  for guidance on that as well. Thanks for the offer to participate in the page set up...you know we want/need you for that :) Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 15:38, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @WomenArtistUpdates: it's a great tool, and @Nattes à chat helped me a lot getting the tool set up for the Francophone Women Writers' Fortnight back in March so she might well have some tips as you set it up. I'm very happy to help out if I can too, although July will be a busy month for me due to a personal life event happening in August. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 04:02, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Very helpful having someone with recent experience of the tool. Don't worry, @Chocmilk03, the setting up and prep will be in June, prior to July commencement. Oronsay (talk) 08:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh this is so great, I look forward to it. I did not really understand what you wanted me to do @WomenArtistUpdates ? Nattes à chat (talk) 22:40, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi ! My ping to you is to invite you to help with this event. Whatever your strengths: coding, admin, proof-reading, redlist creation, or just your knowledge from the last translation event. I am thinking the group should all touch base about this in early June. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 18:44, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Fine I understand. This would be my first time ever helping WIR in organuzing so I look forward to it. I know how to set up a fountain tool so I can help with that. Nattes à chat (talk) 19:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @Nattes à chat, help with the Fountain tool would be great. We all be pinged mid-June to get to work on the July events and your assistance will be appreciated. Oronsay (talk) 20:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)


 * In July 2024, for the second time we are embarking on a three-month translation contest or "translatathon" focused on the translation of biographies of women from other language versions of Wikipedia. For each of the three months, July, August and September, there will be virtual awards for the top three contributors of acceptable new translated articles as well as awards for totals over the full three months. If they wish, contributors may translate from the same foreign language throughout the contest. (Translations from English into other languages are not acceptable for this contest.)
 * In line with other Wikipedia contests, articles must have at least 160 words or 1,000 characters of running text (excluding references, lists, boxes and headings) and should have at least two reliable secondary references (three for biographies of living people). Articles translated from shorter versions in other languages will qualify only if they are extended to meet these requirements.


 * , Can I just say how happy I am with this? Thanks for pulling it together! Rosiestep (talk) 15:13, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

List together by user, most recent on top
This instruction does not make sense to me. If you put the most recent additions on the top of the list, then it can't be grouped by user &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)


 * The idea is list by user, then most recent on top. So each contributor should be putting their most recent contributions at the top of their own list. I hope that makes sense; I've tried to clarify the wording. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 07:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay, understood! &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:00, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I hope you don't mind, but I've also just reverted back to the previous formatting. The line breaks confused me at first, but they're helpful in separating out different users so it's possible to see at a glance who has the most contributions. Similarly, having a numbered count of contributions is also helpful. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 08:04, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It looks a bit messy and I haven't seen this used in other meetups. I will have a think about possible improvements &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Alternative suggestion for your consideration &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me! Thanks! Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:22, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
