Women in Red[edit]
Hi there, Simbalam, and congratulations on creating Martina Chukwuma-Ezike. Perhaps like Dalilib, you would like to become a member of WP:Women in Red where we are trying to chip away at the gender gap. You can join under "New registrations" on this page. In any case, I hope you continue to work on women's biographies. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:12, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for registering, Simbalam, and welcome to Women in Red. I took the liberty of correcting your typo and adding the WIR template to your user page. (The easiest way to sign is just to add four tildes, as when you contribute to a talk page.) As a new contributor, you might find it useful to look through our Essays, perhaps starting with our Ten Simple Rules as a basis for your next biography. You should be able to find the names of "historically marginalized notable women" by browsing through our Redlist index. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:53, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

COI check for Martina Chukwuma-Ezike[edit]
Hello, Simbalam. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrsSnoozyTurtle 04:44, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hello MrsSnoozyTurtle.
- Thank you for the advice. I'm a new editor and part of a group at the University of Aberdeen Library who are learning more about the Wikimedia projects. We're learning to edit Wikipedia as part of a project that would allow us to share our collections (both library and museum collections) more openly with the public. I've never met the rector and don't work with her, but I definitely want to avoid COI, and it's certainly not my intention to engage in WP:BOOSTER.
- I picked her as a notable person who does not have a Wikipedia entry during the editing training because I think she is notable enough to deserve an entry as the first Black woman rector of the University of Aberdeen and as the founder of the first Asthma Charity in Scotland. I will not edit her page if COI is a concern. I'm still learning and will be attending Editathons in the coming months so am grateful for any advice!
- These are further news pieces that clearly show she is a noticeable person: Making history: The black female rectors leading Scotland's ancient institutions into the future (holyrood.com)
- Asthma chief demands review of eco-inhalers ‘before people die’ (thetimes.co.uk) Simbalam (talk) 09:27, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
The article Martina Chukwuma-Ezike has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
BLP with notability and COI issues
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MrsSnoozyTurtle 02:47, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
Nomination of Martina Chukwuma-Ezike for deletion[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martina Chukwuma-Ezike until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary[edit]

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
