Hello everyone,
I've just come across a good blog post about last week's "She must be Wiki https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/SHE_MUST_BE_WIKI:_Feminist_Film_Wiki-a-thon" editathon about feminist film. Sounds like everyone enjoyed the event, but that some of the content they created fell a little foul of notability guidelines.
The blog post is here - http://www.thefword.org.uk/blog/2014/08/ICA_feminist_Wiki-a-thon
Thank you to the trainers who helped out on the day (the event page says EdwardX and LoopZilla) - it sounds like they are enthused enough to have another event, so well done everyone involved.
Stevie
PS if any editors feel like helping them with their notability issues, then I am sure it would be very welcome!
Thanks Stevie Plus The Land, but he's only mentioned on the Wikipedia page, where you can also see all the articles created and expanded, plus some photos of the day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SHE_MUST_BE_WIKI:_Feminist_Film_Wiki...
And the July GLAM newsletter: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/July_2014/Contents/UK_re...
We've successfully fought off all deletion attempts so far, but some of the articles could do with expanding, copyediting and more references. Please feel free to chip in...
best wishes Edward Hands (Edwardx)

Jon The Wikipedia page has lists of 1. Trainers 2. Articles created 3. Articles expanded 4. Attendees
But not a list of the articles that had notability issues, as we've fought off all deletion attempts (so far, at least).
