Motivation edit
I'm working on a project with The Devil's Porridge Museum to find out more about the 30,000 people who worked at HM Factory Gretna during the First World War. This project has resulted in the created of bespoke database collating biographical details about each worker researched. This database is an invaluable resource to academics, family history researchers and heritage enthusiasts. It is also a good opportunity to improve the representation of women in the wikiprojects, as a significant proportion of the workers at Gretna were women.

Discussion edit
Support Have been working with this organisation for a while (in my guise as user:Sara Thomas (WMUK), a good step forward to enrich the open data available in this area. Lirazelf (talk) 11:34, 26 July 2022 (UTC)- Support --Gerwoman (talk) 17:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

- The property name seems pretty long and does not follow the standard of how we name identifier properties. Why is this not named "DevilsPorridge worker ID" or something like that? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 09:15, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
- That's a good point, thank you! Will edit the property name now. Earlgreydays (talk) 10:31, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
