Partisan AfD on notable woman

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kate_Smurthwa… It's probably going to survive unless a lot of trolls join in, but FYI. Here's what was recently done to her: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3517874/Feminist-comedian-s-charity… I don't really know about the allegations, but obviously if there are reliable sources, some mention includable (not the massive paragraph so often promoted by partisans using Wikipedia!). But don't just delete it... --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

We did a preliminary assessment of the first pilot's outcomes in December, with very promising results (50+ new articles created, 10+ articles promoted to GA, and solid plans for continuing work). Our plan is to conduct a more detailed evaluation in August/September and include those results in our annual report.

Systemic bias issues on Wikipedia are often exacerbated by the lack of digital resources in certain subject areas. (Another reason for this librarian to get annoyed when people say everything is online.....) The book grant program is a great way to help address this.

Hello all! (Apologies for cross-posting!) I’m pleased to announce the second round of Wikimedia DC Book Grants, a pilot program in which we help provide editors with resources they need to improve Wikimedia projects. If you live in the United States and actively edit Wikimedia projects, you are eligible; you do not have to be a member of WMDC or edit English projects. Applications are open for one week, from today through Monday, April 4. We expect to let people know by April 10 whether or not their grant request has been funded. More information is available on the Wikimedia DC website [1]. Apply for a grant here: https://podio.com/webforms/14722557/986696 [1] https://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Book_grants Thanks, Emily Temple-Wood Vice President, Wikimedia District of Columbia
