[edit]Hi there, TheResilientEngineer, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you have already created three biographies of women engineers and now intend to cover many more. You should be able to improve your biographies by following the guidance in our Primer. In particular, you should base your articles on reliable independent sources rather than on links to items closely associated with the subject. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:04, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Ipigott thank you for the guidance. I'm an academic and the style of referencing is different to what I'm used to. I'm trying to get better. I have two observations/questions. 1)people don't write "secondary sources" about women because....the way the world is. and 2) the criteria for notability particularly for academics is systematically exclusive to women because they don't get to be head of departments for example. Particularly historically. I'm not sure this means that they are not notable, but I'm not sure how to navigate this issue.
- Perhaps I need to be more specific about screening which women to look into? I was trying to do all of the past presidents of the Women's Engineering Society but there are very few "reliable secondary sources" for these women because they are not deemed to be relevant beyond the society's own journal.
- Any advice would be great. Thanks! TheResilientEngineer (talk) 19:00, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I sympathize, TheResilientEngineer, with the difficulties you express. You will see the same points have frequently been made in press reports and research papers. There has fortunately been some recent progress in awareness of the need for women to be covered more extensively in biographical dictionaries, critical assessments and specialized journals but much more needs to be done. One of the reasons Wikipedia looks for secondary sources is that many individuals, both men and women, are keen to promote themselves and their colleagues on the basis of their qualifications and achievements but if these are not covered independently, there may indeed be a lack of notability. As you gain experience, you may find support through The Wikipedia Library but for now I think you should try to concentrate on women who have received informative coverage in at least three recognized independent sources. Women engineers certainly deserve further attention. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:31, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
