Thanks for sending these along! Since my pet project is women scientists I want to note some articles that these sources could be used for. And a hearty congratulations to Maia for a lovely article from Scientific American! I'm quite pleasantly surprised that half already had articles - and yes, this is progress. I'm going to write [[Margaret Tisdale]] this weekend, and y'all can hold me to it.* [[Kathryn Barnard]] is a redlink* [[Aída Fernández Ríos]] is a redlink* [[Anita Kurmann]] is a redlink* [[Dottie Thomas]] is a redlink* [[Margaret Tisdale]] is a redlinkHappy new year everyone!-EmilyOn Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 6:47 PM, Neotarf <neotarf@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________If anyone wants to take a stab at it, or just read up on it, here is start on sources. There are five women listed in the last link who do not yet have Wikipedia articles: Kathryn Barnard, Aída Fernández Ríos, Anita Kurmann, Dottie Thomas, and Margaret Tisdale. A couple of them have NYT obits, so some definite gaps in WP coverage there.I notice someone suggested a followup to last year's Women's rights in 2014 article. I was hoping someone would write one, mostly because I don't usually follow these issues, and I found the last one rather informative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_rights_in_2014The only gender-related events that stood out for me this year were the Saudi elections, with women both voting and running for office for the first time, and Gambia doing away with FGM.
