Having worked for 2 years editing articles for Women In Red, a group of organizers have concluded that sourcing is one of the biggest hurdles in creating articles on women and non-binary genders. Though it is true that a lot of sourcing simply doesn’t exist, it is also true that there are sources, but we have no access to them. As these groups did not typically become subjects for academic study until the 1970s, many of the sources are not on line or are behind paywalls. Failure to include women and non-binary people in the encyclopedia presents a one-dimensional view of society and history. To address those issues, we are forming a new User Group aimed at referencing and support for like-minded groups and would appreciate your input or input from your supporters in our organizational process.

Hi !

Seeing your page, I thought it would be very interesting to participate. I am huge fan of running especially of trail. However, I have not seen a trail section here for women. We could include Emilie Forsberg which had many victories in the European and World Championships.

Let me know what you think about this

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone for this talk page is able to review my article draft for the surfer Patti Paniccia? The page has been under review for a while now (since I made many extensive edits), so I'm not sure how to proceed... Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to reach out to all the participants of this project to let you know about a recent discussion I've initiated regarding the inclusion (or more accurately, exclusion) of women's sports in the "In the News" section of the front page. Given your active involvement in discussions about women's sports, I warmly invite each of you to join the conversation and share your valuable insights on this matter. Your perspectives are crucial in shaping a more inclusive and representative platform. Thank you for your contributions.

Best regards, PrinceofPunjab^TALK 04:19, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Ireland women's cricket team record by opponent for featured list. I think, it is one of the topics of interest of this wikiproject. Please join the discussion on whether this article should be promoted or not. Thanks. Robo^Cric Let's chat 18:08, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
