2025 Update from Women in Green

Hello Habst:

2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!

For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!

This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Help with drafts

Hey @Habst!

A few months back, I had created articles on various high school track meets I thought were significant, including Brooks PR Invitational, HOKA Festival of Miles, and Nike Indoor Nationals. They were draftified as I mostly sourced them to the event host which does not show notability.

I saw you had improved the Athlos article. If you'd like and if you think these meets pass notability guidelines, I was wondering if you want to split up the work for making properly sourced mainspace articles for these three championships? Since NON has an article, NIN probably should as well. Brooks PR and HOKA Festival of Miles I feel are worthy of articles too since they represent significant high school and/or pro meetings.

If not, not worries. Cheers! KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 14:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @KnowledgeIsPower9281, OK, I'll take a look at those. I think they should be notable and doing a WP:Newspapers.com search I can see a few sources already. --Habst (talk) 15:05, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @KnowledgeIsPower9281, thanks for starting the work on this. I improved Brooks PR Invitational and moved it to mainspace. Here are some tips for the rest:

• The lede should be more than one sentence and should be encyclopedic, i.e. avoid terms like "major" or WP:PEACOCK words unless they're sourced to a reliable third party not affiliated with the event like a newspaper.
• A table of editions should be added with sources for each, because that's typical in most meet articles and it's important to at least get the date of establishment. For example Brooks PR started as an indoor meeting but that wasn't in the draft at first.
• Usually least one newspaper source should be included with significant prose (i.e. paragraphs and not just results listings), you can apply for free Newspapers.com access at WP:Newspapers.com to search for and create clippings which is helpful for this.

Can you try to revise the other two articles with this in mind and I can look them over? --Habst (talk) 15:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Habst! Thank you for the feedback! I'll get these done when I can and I'll give you a ping when they're improved! KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 00:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
