R-Ladies Directory

R-Ladies Global manages a global directory of R-Ladies. R-Ladies follow instructions on the website to input their data (at the moment of writing, a form or an email). Volunteers in charge of managing it edits data, at the moment in WordPress (soon in another format). Work (which entries need editing, etc.) is managed via a private spreadsheet.

Updating Deadnames

When updating an existing R-Ladies member directory profile, we usually edit the entry but this will not fix the URL. As a result, the deadname will still appear in the URL for the directory entry. Therefore, when requested to remove a deadname in an existing directory entry, we will need to completely delete the old entry and add the entry as a new entry. This will create a new URL with the updated name.

Misc

  • write out countries but not states, leave states as initial (e.g. NY)
  • All degrees go in suffix without comma NOT prefix (so Dr. —-> PhD); the format is “, [degree]” where [degree] can be “BA”, “BS”, “MA”, “MS” (note not “MSc”), “PhD”, “MD”
  • The order and style for “Biographical Info” is: R-Groups: [including R-Ladies chapters] R-Packages: Interests: Contact method: [other comments]
