Hello there

So....I just checked the recent activity on the Wiki Loves Women assessment board.

And my attention was raised by a serious list of red links (which used to be blue... right ?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Loves_Women/Assessment


It appears that all those articles were bot-moved from article status to "draft" status. They were all created by User:Sander.v.Ginkel (for a grand total of 16,104 articles) due to various quality issues.
All articles created were moved to draft space, where they can rescued one by one (being fixed first).

Upon quick checking... roughly 300 african women articles were concerned by the purge. It appears that many of them are about footballers (I opened 10 articles and the 10 were of that sort), a lot being Ghanean

Quick sampling

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Belinda_Kanda (Ghanean football player)
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maureen_Eke (Nigerian football player)
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Aminatu_Ibrahim (Ghanean football player)


It is possible to volunteer to rescue those articles (fix them, then move them back in the main space).

Join the rescue team here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Aymatth2/SvG_clean-up/Guidelines


Main role required... sourcing... in particular to prove notability.


Please help :)


Florence
