Writing about European women in computing

I am a big fan of Women in Red and tried to start a similar effort in writing about European Women that work in computing. After a few false starts, some articles marked for deletion and some articles waiting for review, I wanted to ask if anybody would work with me reviewing those articles, and whether, there are ongoing pages I may help with. Being a newbie, any advice and direction appreciated. Thanks Csengul (talk) 14:04, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Csengul that is such good news! I love seeing the work of women in computing highlighted. It's really interesting how involved women were in the early development of software and other aspects of computing. When I worked on improving Women in computing, I made a timeline at the same time to help me keep events in order and which I later moved to article space. You might be able to use the European women from the Timeline of women in computing to help you flesh out your article. I'd be happy to help you look over any articles relating to women in computing, especially in Europe, where I didn't find as much information (I suspect I hit a language barrier, as I'm only fluent in English and know a little Spanish). Where do you want to start? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Megalibrarygirl Thank you for responding so quickly. This timeline is great. Let me look over it to add people to my list, and would love to collaborate. I have, maybe wrongly, made a list of living people trying to capture as many European countries as possible - I've also hit the language problem, but used translation tools and new coverage in English. However, I've struggled with the notability requirements when I submitted drafts. Nevertheless, I've got my first article accepted today on Sihem_Amer-Yahia. And I am wondering whether I can save my draft articles on Aida Kamišalić Latifić or Dita Přikrylová from deletion. Again, thank you very much. Looking forward to working with you.

@Csengul: I'm glad to help anytime. Looks like with the drafts, they aren't going to be deleted. As long as you edit them at least once every 6 months, they will stay in draft-space. Notability can be harder to establish for living people. Make sure you have lots of reliable sources from books or newspapers talking about the subject of the article. I can help turn up sources sometimes if you need help, though I'm less helpful in non-English sources. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Article for Deletion Aelex Partners

Good day to you. I have noticed the great work you do in reviewing articles, I would therefore like to request that you take a look at an article i recently made, which has significant coverage, but has been nominated for deletion, largely because it had been created before. The discussion can be found here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aelex Partners. Thank you for your time. Ponlegbile (talk) 06:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, Ponlegbile. If I get a chance, I'll try to find some sources. My time has been limited recently. :P Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Megalibrarygirl, all I wanted was a robust conversation and review of the article from a neutral viewpoint.Ponlegbile (talk) 12:28, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!

Wow! CAPTAIN RAJU it's been a journey! Thank you! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi Megalibrarygirl/Archives/2020, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)
