Here are three Petscan queries which might help us quickly spot new women biographies:
- Women by all sorts of things - looks at a bunch of Women by categories for new women biog articles which haven't been added to wikidata
- 20th century people - looks at the C20 births & deaths categories, and the C21 deaths cat, again for new biog articles - men & women - which have not been added to wikidata
- Pre-20th century people - looks for new men & women biog articles in pre-20th century birth & death categores, again where no wikidata item exists.
I've been using variants of these for the last month or so in my wikidata endeavours ... they can take 2 or 3 minutes to return results. I'll make sure they're as empty as possible tonight so that we can see what's added tomorrow ... clearly they have a dependency on some minimal categorisation of the articles, and they'll not be of any use if contributors do add wikidata items, but I'm thinking that those users that do probably have enough of a clue not to need help, whereas newbies are most unlikely to even so much as know that wikidata exists, much less how to add an article to it.
