== TranslationHarpoot contestFemale Seminary ==
 
Hi Penny, I've just started on an article about the [[Harpoot Female Seminary]], founded by Susan Anna Brookings Wheeler. I'm not sure I can scrape together enough to start her biography, but I did come across that she had been a [https://books.google.com/books?id=TVM4AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA147 non-graduate student at Mount Holyoke College]. I tried finding a photo of her via Mount Holyoke's website but no success. I seem to recall that you have access to some historical yearbooks, particularly the Seven Sisters, so I was wondering if maybe you have better/different access and can locate a school photo of her? No worries if you're busy with other things; the seminary article will be fine without it. Thanks! -- [[User:Rosiestep|Rosiestep]] ([[User talk:Rosiestep|talk]]) 17:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Hi Penny Richards, I see that you have added two articles as entries to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/311|translation contest]]. The articles are [[Kathleen Moore Knight]] and [[Leigh Richmond]]. I do not see that they are translations of articles. Am I missing something? Best, [[User:WomenArtistUpdates|WomenArtistUpdates]] ([[User talk:WomenArtistUpdates|talk]]) 23:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
:I'll have a look around! [[User:Penny Richards|Penny Richards]] ([[User talk:Penny Richards#top|talk]]) 21:59, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
:Hi [[User:WomenArtistUpdates|WomenArtistUpdates]]! Before this week, Leigh Richmond only had an article in de wiki, and Kathleen Moore Knight only had an article in fr wiki. I used those articles as starting points for the en wiki articles I started this week. I thought I included the right language in my edit summaries, hmmm. But anyway, that's the explanation. I found a couple American women writers who only had articles in other language wikis, and made them English articles starting from those.

:::No trouble; it's always interesting to me to find US biographies that only exist in non-English wikis. (A lot of film bios are only in it wiki, for example.) [[User:Penny Richards|Penny Richards]] ([[User talk:Penny Richards#top|talk]]) 01:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
