@kpalmer101 has been the driving force behind #LadiesofQualityWiki and we're delighted to have had the opportunity to work with her!

[Kathleen Palmer (she/her) @kpalmer101]

Fantastic day. We got so much done, and such enthusiasm. Thanks @recoveringwc19 @FoundlingMuseum @BirkbeckC19 @BeingHumanFest

Calling all @FoundlingMuseum experts! Stop the hospital's inspectors from being dismissed as 'not notable' #LadiesofQualityWiki

[Dr Beatrice Bazell @beatricebazell]

Colour me shocked: one of the #ladiesofqualitywiki pages for an early female inspector of the Foundling Museum has been nominated for deletion as 'not notable' on #wikipedia - let's fix this! #womenshistory #workingclasshistory #hiddenvoices https://t.co/hqgl4ABDUU

@an_dav @Wikipedia Thanks very much! Send us a message if you'd like information to participate remotely

[Recovering Women @recoveringwc19]

Hey @Wikipedia some of our editors' accounts are marked as not existing! Is there anyone who can fix this for us urgently?

[Recovering Women @recoveringwc19]

@katieteresachan @Wikipedia Thanks! I think we've resolved the issue.

[Recovering Women @recoveringwc19]

@katieteresachan @Wikipedia Thanks! We wondered whether the issue might be that they hadn't populated their profile?

[Recovering Women @recoveringwc19]

Fab introduction to #LadiesofQuality from @FoundlingMuseum curator @kpalmer101. Now @DrAlexisWolf is showing us how to edit using the example of painter #EmmaBrownlow

[Recovering Women @recoveringwc19]
