Hello,

Thanks for your interest in the Judy Chicago article!

Some of the formatting techniques and guidelines can get kind of confusing, so here's a couple of tips:

  • If you want to link to another article, you just need to put brackets around the words, like this: [[Judy Chicago]]
  • If you want to spell it phrased a little differently for a specific reason they you add the article name first, a pipe symbol, and the way you'd like it to appear, such as [[Judy Chicago|Judy Cohen Chicago]]. There's more information about wikilinks at Linking.
  • Please see WP:External links. External links should not be used within the body of an article. The only links should be to other wikipedia pages. If a link is the source of information, it should be formatted like a citation.
  • Last one, there was a clarify tag at the end of the "Chicago developed art education in which “female-centered content” is valued." sentence. I think that's because the sentence is not clear. What does "is valued" mean? I think is the point. The clarify tag should remain until it's resolved/rephrased.

I know I gave you a whole lot of information at once... and remember how it can be a bit overwhelming. If I can help, let me know. A really great place to check out is the teahouse where you can ask questions and users will add to the conversation to answer your question.--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Feminism article

[edit]

Hello ChutneyPower, I noticed a change you made to the Feminism article, in order to add information about Zeisler's "marketplace feminism". I wanted to let you know that I undid your contribution. There's a brief explanation in the edit summary, and I went into more detail on the article talk page in this discussion. I won't duplicate that discussion here, and in any case, a user talk page like this one, isn't the right place to discuss article content; that's what article Talk pages are for. But I did want to just give you this heads-up as a sort of courtesy call, because I see that you are a professor of gender studies at PSU and are heavily involved in the direction of the PSU Art & Feminism edit-a-thons and have been for years.

The basic reason for the revert has to do more with Wikipedia concepts (principally something we call WP:DUEWEIGHT, which is part of Wikipedia's core principle of WP:Neutral point of view) than the content itself taken in isolation; but see that discussion for more information, and feel free to respond there.

As far as countering gender bias on Wikipedia, you might want to join the Wikipedia:Gender gap task force if you haven't already. There's also WP:Women in red, for improving biographical coverage of notable women, and various WikiProjects such as WP:WOMEN, WP:Feminism, and others that you might be interested in. I'm only somewhat active in these, but well aware of and supportive of their goals; you might check with those projects. User:Rosiestep in particular might be able to offer additional suggestions.

Finally, I'm just going through your Art + Feminism Wikistorming video now, but at 150' I can't promise to finish it; I wanted to see if you referred to Zeisler in it; I've been jumping around, but haven't found a reference yet. In that vein: it might help if you added a text file of maybe fifteen or thirty lines, with a time point and brief description in an attached file to that web page. For example, one line in that file might be this:

  • 1:25:12 – presentation about Korean artist Yun Suk Nam, given by Eunkyung Hwang

A file full of lines like that, would make it much easier to navigate, and find what interested viewers were looking for. In addition, and more importantly: if you added text like that directly to the web page itself, it would be indexed by search engines, which means your talk would attract a lot more viewers by people searching for relevant terms. For example: right now, someone searching for 'Yun Suk Nam' will not find your presentation, because search engines don't index video or audio content, only text. (By the way: Eunkyung's presentation reminded me of one of my favorite women artists, and the only Korean artist I know by name: Yee Sookyung, and her gorgeous "translated vases" series. If you haven't heard of her, check out some of her work here. I'd love to see a Wikipedia page about Yee Sookyung; maybe you could mention her to Eunkyung Hwang and see if she'd be interested in taking on that task. (If Eunkyung is not familiar with writing on Wikipedia, I can help with that part.)

Feel free to ask me any questions here, or at my user talk page. Comments about the Feminism article in particular, should be added to Talk:Feminism. General questions about editing Wikipedia can be posed at the WP:Tea house or the WP:Help desk. Hope this helps! Mathglot (talk) 00:44, 20 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

__________________ From ChutneyPower: Thank you for your extensive supportive suggestions. I added after the link to the recording. "See schedule above for list of presenters, topics, and order on the recording." Eunkyung has a wikipedia page begun for Yun Suk Nam, which she showed us yesterday, and plans to complete by the end of this month prior to publishing. A primary goal of the Art+Feminism event is to introduce and encourage women to develop interest and experience in contributing to Wikipedia. I will encourage and work with Maggie-Rose to revise her Marketplace feminism entry and place where you suggest. On the video Maggie-Rose begins her presentation on Marketplace feminism at 1:37:55 on the video timeline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChutneyPower (talkcontribs) 22:30, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
