Idea: COVID-19

I wonder if there's an article to be created around the Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on African Americans, or even the Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black communities globally? I'm trying to find where there are already COVID-19 related pages addressing minority groups.

Thoughts? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

@Another Believer: Is Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on African-American communities what you're looking for? It seems like the article needs to be fleshed out and the "original research" tag needs to be addressed. It also might be worthwhile to redirect the red link you suggested above.

I found it on this list: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which seems to list the various articles about the impact of COVID-19 on different topics, although Category:Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States might be more thorough if anyone is looking for other articles on COVID impact. - Whisperjanes (talk) 20:38, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Whisperjanes, Ah, yes, thank you. I must have been browsing in the wrong category! I've shuffled the page's categories a bit. Needs work, but glad to see an entry has been started. Thanks again, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:41, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Scope question

Does "The Hill We Climb" fall into this drive’s scope? If yes I’d be happy to list it. Regardless I’ll be sure to add some more directly related articles to my to-do list. Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 20:38, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Eddie891, IMO, yes! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:45, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Agreed that it's in scope. Very well written article, Eddie891! — Bilorv (talk) 21:49, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

+1, I hope there are plans for a Good article nomination. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:13, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Women in Red

Looks like WikiProject Women in Red will be hosting a similar collaboration during February:

Commons category?

Is there (and if not, is there any objection to my starting) a category at the Commons for images, videos and other media uploaded in this initiative? E.g. “Media supported by WikiProject Black Lives Matter”? There is a “Black Lives Matter” category but I think its scope might be best left more narrow (actual protests and organizers who work under that rubric) than this project (for which I think broader view is great).

Innisfree987, This question might be more appropriate at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Black Lives Matter, but I don't object to creating a WikiProject Black Lives Matter category at Wikimedia Commons. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:09, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Another Believer, thank you I will ask there and also this makes me realize I should ask too about possibly distinguishing by year or editathon or other? Innisfree987 (talk) 19:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Augustus Merriman-Labor

I've started Augustus Merriman-Labor which I think could easily be expanded. He seems to have had an extraordinary life, and is the subject of a recent book-length biography. Dsp13 (talk) 14:23, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
