January 2016 update[edit]

As of the 2014 inductees, there are 158 women on this list. I just updated information, checked errors, and added a column for citations. — Maile (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Broken URLs[edit]

I am seeing that pretty much all of the references on this page contain broken URLs to the domain women.iowa.gov. It looks like maybe there is a redirect set up on that domain but that it isn't working? The content still exists on subpages here: [1]. Anyway, if I have time I will begin updating, but I thought I would post this here to alert anyone else who may be watching this page. Brookfre (talk) 22:14, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Brookfre: I just ran "Fix dead links", and it says it "rescued" 171 sources. I don't know if that helps, but there's a lot of listings here. FYI on how you run the "Fix dead links". Go into "Page/history". There are various links there, such as "Page view statistics". Click on "Fix dead links". It will take you to IABot Management Interface. Click the little box that says "Add archives to all non-dead references (Optional)". Then click the "Analyze" button. It should do the rest. When it finishes, it will show you "Run statistics". — Maile (talk) 22:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Maile66: Thank you! I figured there must be something like that, but I did not know exactly what. Thank you for the explanation and for running that bot. Brookfre (talk) 22:52, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2019 update[edit]

What's new:

Adding Women in Red project to the above header. WIR exists to turn red links into blue, expanding the coverage of women on Wikipedia.

New method when adding nominations is Alpha within Year, rather than just a straight alphabetical listing. In that way, each new group of inductees can just be dropped into the top of the list, rather than the hassle of trying to interweave individual names into the entire list. Viewers can always sort by names or other columns.

Anybody can edit. Anybody can update. Happy editing. — Maile (talk) 21:15, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
