Submissions:2022/A Woman of the Century
This submission has been noted and is pending review for WikiConference North America 2022.
Title:
- A Woman of the Century
Theme:
- Friday Lightning Talk Day, Saturday Longer Sessions
Type of session:
- Lightning Talk
Abstract:
According to Wikipedia, A Woman of the Century: Fourteen Hundred Seventy Biographical Sketches, Accompanied by Portraits of Leading American Women, in all Walks of Life (1893) is a compendium of biographical sketches of American women born in the 19th-century. For years, editors have worked on various components associated with this book, but there is no coordinated "project" across WikiSource, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikipedia. As I've created many of their biographies on EN-WP, I've come to see a need for coordination across sister projects. I'll articulate the state of "A Woman of the Century" in each sister project, and then make a call to action for coordination.
