This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Jonathon Jones (20 February 2014). "Is Misplaced Pages the best place to promote women in art?". Guardian. Retrieved 23 February 2014. ArtAndFeminism Edit-a-Thons want to increase the number of Misplaced Pages entries about notable women in art. But is Misplaced Pages worthy of their efforts?

Fall 2014 Art+Feminism IEG & PEG Grants Notification

Hello All, the Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon organizers have prepared an IEG grant, and a PEG grant this week for the fall Wikimedia Foundation grant scholarships. These grants will fund several NYC training sessions, another major international Edit-a-thon, and the creation of infrastructure to support this year, and years going forward. The project is seeking community comment / discussion and endorsement signatures (section at the bottom of the page) to help complete the grant process. We encourage you to take a look at these grants, and offer your feedback and/or your endorsement signature if you feel the project worthy. On behalf of the other organizers. --Theredproject (talk) 01:10, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Events

I've been working hard to update the list of upcoming events as well as the ArtAndFeminism|navigation box. Do organizers know of any other events that are missing from the main project page? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:11, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

ArtAndFeminism & BLPRequestdelete

I've been really impressed with the quality work produced at Misplaced Pages talk:Meetup/Toronto/ArtAndFeminism 2015. I was sad to notice, however, that of the 20 or so articles created, two have had the subject request deletion. Erin Shirreff has already been deleted, and Shirley Wiitasalo will likely be deleted soon.

I certainly have no problem with the policy of deleting articles if the subject of the article isn't especially famous and wants the article deleted, but it must be discouraging for the editors who spend time creating a new article only to have it deleted within a couple days. I was curious if this is an issue for other ArtAndFeminism participants as well. I wonder if something could be done differently to avoid the deletions. Perhaps someone from ArtAndFeminism could contact the subject requesting the deletion and explain the nature of the project, which might encourage them to leave the bio online? Or maybe this is just a coincidence with the articles created at the Toronto event, and not a larger issue in need of solving? Thoughts? Thanks. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 10:48, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

We are working on reviewing the articles created at this year's events, but we would appreciate more volunteers to help with this as we don't have the capacity to review all the edits made during the Art+Feminism events, and also, engaging in the Articles for Deletion discussions, and working through article / editing disputes is a good way to learn about editing Misplaced Pages and how to communicate with other editors.

The Shirley Wiitasalo AfD closed as keep and Erin Shirreff appears to have been removed per the artist request, but I'd had !voted keep if it were at AfD. It may be useful to suggest that event organisers consider editing activities which generate lists of likely notable candidates prior to events. By this I mean things like lists of fellowships and award winners; officeholders; and similar. It's very easy to accumulate links about each individual on the list then have a more experienced editor confirm from the links that notability is met. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:52, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nelda Ramos

Work on this, too? Bearian (talk) 00:44, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks to User:Jooojay and User:WordSeventeen, it looks like a clear keep. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Community discussion on harassment reporting

There are many current proposals as part of the 2015 Inspire Campaign related to harassment management. I’ve created a page, Meta:Grants:IdeaLab/Community discussion on harassment reporting meant to serve as a central space where the various stakeholders in these proposals and other community members can discuss which methods might serve our community best so that we can unify our ideas into collective action. I encourage you to join the conversation and contribute your ideas! OR drohowa (talk) 02:46, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
