I was happy to see,
Oronsay, that you were covered at some length in the
October GLAM report on Australia. In connection with the
upcoming events in Sydney, I hope you and
Rosiestep will be able to encourage more people to become interested in improving coverage of women on Wikipedia. If they register on
Women in Red, it will be much easier for us to offer them assistance. As your panel is being streamed, your discussions should be followed around the globe.--

Thank you, @
Ipigott: I will do my best at the
Worlds of Wikimedia Conference before, during and after the
Adrianne Wadewitz panel session to get people involved with WiR, and I'm sure Rosie will too. Obviously, I will mention WiR where appropriate during the
ESEAP Conference 2022, but am aware that its focus is on developing the Hub and editing communities in this area.

So excited to have arrived in Sydney! I am very much looking forward to participating in these conferences, where I'll be wearing a couple of different hats. --

Hope your panel went well. Unfortunately I could not find the video.--

Sorry you missed it, @
Ipigott. After some technical issues, the
Adrianne Wadewitz panel went well. Unfortunately, the start delay meant no time for questions or interacting with the other presenters, so it was four like-themed presentations rather than a true panel. @
Rosiestep did a grand job for
WiR.
Oronsay (
talk) 20:38, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
Oronsay, I'm so happy that this panel tied our work together. @
Ipigott:, I'm not sure if there's a recording, but I'll check on that. --

Hi O. A few editors have been working on improving
Seventh Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance as the event's poster is a
Featured picture scheduled for POTD. In the Representation section of the article, there's mention of Gertrude L. (Burke) Spencer as an official delegate of the government of Australia. I haven't found significant sources about her but wondered what might be accessible in Australia and if Gertrude should be redlinked for her own article?
Rosiestep (
talk) 18:01, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
@
Rosiestep. Gertrude Lucie Burke (
Wikidata) married, without being given away or vowing to obey, Reverend Frederick Augustus Morland Spencer in London in 1913 before the Seventh Conference took place, hence the bracketed name. They later lived in UK, where she was lecturer or tutor at Keble College, Oxford. Can @
Lajmmoore help with her later life?
Oronsay (
talk) 01:13, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Hmmm, there's not much popping up for me - I know @
Aivin G. works on women associated with Oxford - perhaps they will have more luck?
