Content guidelines
What we publish, and how we decide
These are the rules moderators apply to every submission. They are short on purpose.
1. It is true
Name the people, say when it happened, and give a source or an official page if there is one. If a moderator cannot confirm it, it waits. Personal achievements that are not public record (a graduation, a first exhibition, a small business opening) are welcome when the person themselves or someone close to them submits them.
2. It went right
An award, a record, a release, a launch, a rescue, a repair, a reunion. The test: would the people in it be glad to see it here?
3. Nobody is put down
No entry is built on someone else's failure, and nothing here mocks, shames or exposes anyone. That includes rivals, other countries, men, and other women.
4. The work is theirs
Submit links to the official page, the publisher, the label, the gallery or the article, not to copies. We do not host files; we point to where the work lives.
5. It is about women
People who identify as women, anywhere; we take a person's own description and do not question it. Groups and teams count when women are at the heart of them.
6. No advertising, no politics for its own sake
A product launch by a woman founder is a story. An advert is not. A woman elected to office is a story; campaigning is not. Open doors into public life list the way in (a placement, a public appointment, how to stand as a councillor) and never a party or a position; a scheme run by one party is listed only beside the equivalent from every other. Moderators use judgement and err towards kindness.
Privacy
Your email is never shown and is used only to ask you a question about your submission. Your name is shown as "shared by" only if you give it. We store a one-way hash of your network address for one hour to slow down floods, not the address itself.
Corrections and removals
Anyone named in an entry can ask for it to be corrected or removed, and it will be. Send a correction.
