| == Revert on Margaret Sanger == | |||
| Hi! | |||
| I noticed you reverted an IP recently about their characterization of Sanger in the lead. Can you explain why you did that? The characterization does seem to be factually accurate, so what's the problem? | |||
| And was your use of the rollback button intentional? I'm asking because I've hit the button unintentionally once or twice in the past. | |||
| Also, how would you feel about the milder language "supporter of negative eugenics"? | |||

| :Mostly ], but also because these sorts of assertions have been discussed extensively on article talk pages and have never really gained ]. Didn't mean to use rollback, but it looks like the IP editor had been blocked under a similar IP before making the edit. Re: attempts to soften the wording, presumably without talk page discussion, I think it might be circumventing that process of building consensus. ] (]) 09:41, 11 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::Can you give some illustrative examples of "these sorts of assertions"? | |||
| ::Also, just now I randomly came across ], who is described as a eugenicist at the end of the list of activities/occupations in the lead. The characterization is cited to something. | |||
| ::I suppose I could raise the issue on the article's TP, but I'd prefer to deal with that kind of thing when I have more headspace and stomach for controversial discussions. After all (at least according to some editors), ]. | |||
| ::Cheers, ] (]) 13:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::I could give examples, but I wonder if that would be seen as a little bit silly since we're talking about discussions on one article talk page. The discussions on race and eugenics are pretty easily located by looking through the seven pages of archives. Re: the Gilman article, I agree that it is cited to something; that something is a ''Britannica'' entry that doesn't contain the string ''eug'' anywhere on the page. It's certainly a bold move to use that citation where they did, but it is otherwise not a thing to be emulated. ] (]) 14:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC) | |||

Women in Green GA Editathon October 2023 - Around the World in 31 Days
Hello Larry Hockett:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
