The template to be affixed to articles, {{WIR-HF 2016}} says the editathon is being conducted in June 2016, not July.

I am not remotely technical, but I think I figured out how to fix this. Thanks for the heads up

Halls of Fame seem to be something the USA does far more than the rest of the world!
I usually try to find a UK woman to write about in each WiR Editathon (though failing that I'll go for
the initial "P" or
anyone/anything else who/which
catches my
interest), but even when I picked
the CEO of Sun UK she turned out to be an American. Ah well, it'll even up in other months. And I did manage to find
a Brit in a Hall of Fame earlier. (One reason I tend to leap in and do an article near the start of each Editathon is to get the widest choice from the lists, in case someone else nicks all the most interesting-looking ones).

Roz Prior might be a good one; inducted into the
British Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 2006. (Just checked, she was British. Some inductees aren't, but she was.) She held the best elapsed time record for a British woman drag racer for twenty years (1978-1998).

There is an important discussion going on
here in connection with the proposed deletion of
Category:Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame.
Rosiestep in particular might be able to recommend how we go forward if the categories are really prohibited by Wikipedia rules.--

I am totally in favor of this one
Rosiestep. Added it to the calendar.

I love the idea of doing Hall of Fame laureates. Working off the
Kentucky Women Remembered list I learned about women that I might never have heard about otherwise. But some of these women are going to be tough to write.
Very cool
FloNight The lack of pictures and trying to find them is certainly a pain in my side.

I found this link with some additional halls of fame but haven't followed any of the links listed so unsure about notability, etc.
