Dear all,
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Women team https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/Portal, I’m excited to share an important update!
Due to technical issues reported during the campaign period that prevented some participants from accessing and contributing, we have decided to extend the ISA Tell Us About Her 2026 – Women in Sports campaign https://isa.toolforge.org/campaigns/447 until April 5th, 2026.
You now have 6 more days to add descriptions and take part in the campaign.
There are still 2 prizes to be awarded for the top 2 contributors, so the race is still wide open. Everything can happen in 6 days… who knows?
Don’t miss this final chance to jump in!
Cheers,
Afek

Hi Afek! Nice that you are doing this. I never used the ISA tool and I just checked it quickly. Is it possible to narrow down to certain sports/regions/timelines? I also noticed quite a few men appeared in my first 10 offerings. Is that part possible to avoid? Thank you for any info and please pardon me for writing this on almost the last day.
Hi Blace
The way the system works is that it pulls off images based on Wikimedia Commons categories. You can select one or several categories. And for each category, you can select between 0 to 5 levels of depth.
So you can narrow things down IF the categories exist WHEN the campaign is created. This is being decided by the one setting up the campaign. If you are the campaign manager, you can fine tune your categories...
And men appear in the propositions... because men are probably - for some reason - in the categories... :(

Thank you for the clarification!
I am curious as I am planing LGBT+ sports work with a friend from South Africa who was photo documentarist and blogger (not into Wikipedia) so I guess using this tool is only as good to use as our Commons categories are :-/
Hope things get better soon in near future (maybe good case study for AI use?)

That's right... it certainly help to have a great set up of categories here...

Not sure what you mean here ? Can you be more specific about what you are thinking of ?

So maybe we should consider to have a preparatory action (maybe even a small project) to clean up and maintain at least 2-3 categories for which we are certain that at least 51% is adequate - no?

I am not sure I can as it is just an idea as I am not working with AI agents yet, but it seems possible and feasible to train one for this purpose. Do you think this is feasible to brainstorm/develop ideas/pursue sometimes soon?
