List your username, a link to your article, and a breakdown of specific task/s you want help with (newest requests at top of page). Other editors can post responses and indicate interest below.

August 2019

[edit]
Article: Margaret Hamilton (software engineer)
Tasks requiring help: Need two bits of info about her personal life:
  1. There is whispers of a brother named David on the 1940 Census which I can only partially confirm via free previews at Ancenstry.com. Can any one with full access to Ancestry.com get a clipping of the census as a source. He may not have lived past infancy because he is not mentioned in later sources.
  2. When did Margaret Hamilton divorce James Cox Hamilton?
Thank you for any assistance. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 09:45, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Cofeeandcrumbs Familysearch is free[1] I am fairly sure David was alive until at least 2004.[2][3] Marriage to Hamilton ended in 1967 and she married Dan Lickly in 1969.[4] SusunW (talk) 04:46, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bonus info. She joined the Apollo program in 1964 and in the "early days" she "invented, or at the very least, popularised the term "software engineering".[5] This article says Oettinger published the term in 1966, which you can confirm here. This article says Fritz Bauer chose it as a topic for a 1967 NATO science committee study, which later became the topic of a conference title.[6] I find no printed sources linking coining the term to Barry Boehm.

April 2019

[edit]
Article: Valentina Tereshkova
Tasks requiring help: Peer review of the article as well as any and all assistance in bringing this article to GA. This is related to discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red#50th Anniversary of Apollo 11. Need DYKs of women in space. This is my first attempt at promoting an article to GA. The article is well below the standards for GA and any help you can render is appreciated.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 00:58, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've left my comments on the article talk page. I hope it's helpful! Knope7 (talk) 17:31, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have posted somethings I need help with at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women/Women in Green#June check-in. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 17:28, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Article: Margaret Hamilton (scientist)
Tasks requiring help: Same as above. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 03:07, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
All good here. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 17:28, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Article: Alma Webster Hall Powell
Tasks requiring help: Review of the article (I'm new to the GA process, trying to figure out what's a good baseline for articles that can be brought up to GA).
I left some suggestions on the article talk page. Nice work! Knope7 (talk) 01:17, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Knope7! I will go over this in the next few days. --Nonmodernist (talk) 14:44, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2019

[edit]
Article: Ruth Hanna McCormick
Tasks requiring help: Review to make names conform to the manual of style for WP:NCBIO. Ruth Hanna McCormick went by the names Ruth Hanna, Ruth Hanna McCormick, and Ruth Hanna McCormick Simms at various points in her life.
I can take a look at this, Knope7. Just to clarify: would you like me to make edits, or just review and point out any inconsistencies? From a brief read-through, it looks like the main task is to change "Ruth" to "McCormick" in later parts of the article. Alanna the Brave (talk) 23:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you could make edits, that would the great! One of the difficulties is that she worked closely with her father and her first husband, which makes clarity a bit of a challenge. Also I used a lot of old newspapers that would only call her Mrs. Medill McCormick until she was a congressional candidate. A fresh set of eyes on this would be helpful. Knope7 (talk) 04:01, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Alrighty -- will do! Alanna the Brave (talk) 14:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Article: Kithaab
Tasks requiring help: 1) Review of the article 2) Looking for translations to other languages.

Tasks requiring help: final proofread & copy edits before GA nomination.
Update: I've now submitted the GA nomination (request closed!). Alanna the Brave (talk) 20:50, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
