2004 rally, Washington
Megalibrarygirl Hello once again :) Just wish to share following info.
I came across following ny times news article about a significant pro-abortion rally in April 2004 in Washington. I covered slogans in slogans section. But may be you would like to cover more from the news article.
French Wikipedian working on WikiProject Women in Red shared 2 good french language refs we need some one French knowing Wikipedian to utilize them. One of ref gives interesting info of Spanish protesters going to property registration office and attempting to register their bodies as their own properties.
In due course we might get better sources in Bangla besides from Iran & Turkish protests too.
Thanks and warm regards

- @Bookku: Sounds good! I'll be able to do more work on the article today I hope--after I do some therapeutic gardening. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:54, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Ref & sources to Spanish women's rights movement and critical thought
@ Megalibrarygirl Hello again.
After clue from French Wikipedian User:Nattes à chat I approached Spanish Wikipedian User:Mboix (A year before she had helped me in getting a Women's rights article translated from En wikipedia to Spanish Wikipedia.) Again this time too she has provided great support through useful references on the topic of Spanish protesting women registering their bodies as properties to claim right on their own bodies. Again while claiming rights over own bodies through slogan my body my choice protesters themselves end up treating as property and User:Mboix has shared translated synopsis of Spanish Feminist critic Veronica León Buch on my talk page here @ User_talk:Bookku#Mi_cuerpo_es_mío.
Please also have a look at the related news covered by UK news portal Independent
- Also:
- this google translation of Spanish feminist Veronica León Buch 's article may not be perfect translation but would give a different and good insight and any ways User:Mboix has provided translated synopsis any ways.
@ Megalibrarygirl I suppose above referred help from User:Mboix would be valuable support which we can count on and as you feel you can take suitable note of the same in the article.
@ Megalibrarygirl it's been great support of you all makes me feel pleased and nice working with you all.
Thanks again and warm regards

One more request
@ Megalibrarygirl Hello again,
You might have already noticed some anon, and other users took lead in taking My body, my choice in main article namespace. I would have preferred to do it much latter since I still want to add 3-4 important aspects to the article.
Any ways there is one indirectly but importantly linked interesting Pakistani drama on TV & it's subsequent real life repercussions. The article name is Meray Paas Tum Ho. There are only few Paras I added regarding context in recent Pakistani feminist debates. I wish & request you to have look at those paragraphs & if needed do copy editing as per your time and convenience.
Thanks and warm regards

- @Bookku: sorry for the slow reply. I've been swamped this week with stuff in the offline world. I think it's OK to have moved the article. Having more eyes on it will help for sure. I'll try to take a look later. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:30, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Sofia Asuncion Claro
@ Megalibrarygirl Hi there, I'm trying to save the article on the Chilean harpist Sofia Ascuncion Claro (oddly the article lists her as Asunción Claro). Someone has it up for deletion and is requesting ONE good reference to be added. I've not had much luck with news - I find paywalls and Danish - but I have found some listings with her mentioned in various books. As you can see, a number of these are just snippets so I can't find what the text says about her. I've tried with this https://openmusiclibrary.org/article/211766/ but I don't have library access. Could you please look at this or any of the other listings here (sorry for the long link, Wikipedia has blacklisted bit.ly)
and see if you can find just ONE good RS reference for the article before it's deleted? Thanks for any help you can provide. LovelyLillith (talk) 20:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- LovelyLillith I'll see what I can dig up. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:29, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have a friend who works at EPCC and they seem like they may have access to the database for open music library. I'll see if I can get a hold of her to send me a copy. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:47, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Ipigott: if you have a chance, can you search for this harpist? Seems like there's some sources in Scandinavian languages. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:10, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- LovelyLillith, I'll just put this here[1]. Like Sue, I find stuff in Danish, but Ian is the best one to help you with that. SusunW (talk) 17:44, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

- Apart from "Skønhed" (which I've included), the only information about her I have found in Danish covers two broadcasts on Danmarks Radio and basic biographical information. I have not been able to find any good secondary sources to cover the text of the article. If anyone finds items they think would be useful, please let me know and I'll try to help out.--Ipigott (talk) 06:20, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- LovelyLillith: I've found quite a few bits and pieces, both in English and in Danish. I think the article is OK now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.--Ipigott (talk) 09:30, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Ipigott :SusunW :Megalibrarygirl Thanks for your help, everyone! :) LovelyLillith (talk) 14:55, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Ipigott :SusunW :LovelyLillith teamwork rocks! Thanks for everyone helping out on this. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, hope you're well at this time. I came across this which is a mess. Amie Harwick is currently a redirect to Drew Carey. It should probably have an article and this be redirected if notable enough. Can you or a page stalker sort it out? Thanks.† Encyclopædius 10:27, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Encyclopædius! I'll take a look. I am sorry it took so long for me to reply. I've been reassigned to helping with COVID-19 at work and my job was pretty crazy all last week. Didn't have the bandwidth to log into Wikipedia. :( Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
