This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Women in Red

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of fellows of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Alex Brown, Frank Caruso and David Moss. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Winifred Pink moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Winifred Pink. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because I think you meant to move it here, and the sources are a little wanting, anyways. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 16:22, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	I think this belongs to you. Nice work on Winifred Pink. I boldly moved it to main space. I say "boldly" but it was more than ready and it inspired me to start Ladies' Automobile Club. Victuallers (talk) 11:24, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers oh amazing. another reviewer thought it needed more references which I've struggled to find! thank you for moving it I think it's ready too. others can add as they please then. you got to the LAC before me nice work! I hope you found the piece from the national motor museum? if not I can send the link or add it in. let me know! TheResilientEngineer (talk) 13:22, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Opinions vary but three good refs is the bar that I use and if there are 1,500 origial characters of text then its a start article. I moved Zaikoff with that criteria. I added an extra ref but it wasn't necessary IMO. You realise that you are able to use Page,Move to publish your own articles? We do see OK-articles that get stuck in AfC. None of the Women in Red regulars use this method. You can leave a message on the/my talk page if you have an article that you would like an informal review of, before publishing yourself. Cheers Victuallers (talk) 15:11, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers you have the national motor museum ref! excellent work on LAC! originally I moved Pink from my user space straight to articles. a reviewer moved it to draft because they thought I'd done it in error and there weren't enough refs. which I was a little surprised by but I'm still new so figured they were right. your guidance here is a helpful guide though, thank you! TheResilientEngineer (talk) 17:00, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers also thank you for the barnstar!! i had to look it up as it's my first one and I'm still pretty new! TheResilientEngineer (talk) 19:40, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
