Brigida Banti

Hi Jgdc47B, the list of performances in the article Brigida Banti explicitly only includes the roles "created" by the primadonna. The role of Alceste you have added was not created by her and, IMHO, should therefore be removed. Cheers.--Jeanambr (talk) 07:50, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeanambr, I'm perfectly happy to remove the Aleceste addition, but I have to say that it isn't immediately obvious to me that that "Roles created -- The following is a list of significant performances of Banti’s career" means "explicitly only includes the roles created by the primadonna". I had added the London performances because there were more of them that your list suggests, and so they were added in the context of "significant performances". If you intend that the list only refers to 'created' roles I would suggest that you strengthen your definition a bit, to that it is more obvious what you mean to a passing reader like me. Kind regards, John. Jgdc47B (talk) 14:58, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are perfectly right. Both choices are viable: we can either strengthen the beginning description or modify the title of the section and add further performances not referred to premieres. The former choice appears to be probably easier, the latter is a bit more problematical as a criterion for choosing the 'significant' roles should also be possibly given. Since you are a native English speaker, I wonder if you would settle the matter in either way. Cheers.--Jeanambr (talk) 15:43, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have modified the article myself. Could you be so kind as to take a look at my English. Thanks.--Jeanambr (talk) 20:01, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry that I didn't have time to reply to your earlier note. What you have written looks fine, and your intent is much clearer. Thanks for doing that. I have another busy day tomorrow, so it could be a while before I undo the changes I made. If you would prefer to do it yourself please go ahead. Jgdc47B (talk) 20:16, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No change of yours is to be undone. I think there are no further problems. Cheers.--Jeanambr (talk) 10:21, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ealing Art Guild (December 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KJP1 was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

A lot of work has gone into this and the history of the club suggests Notability. But there is a significant, and important, confusion between Footnotes and Citations. Footnotes contain information about X that you don't want to put in the main article. Citations support information about X that you do want in the main articles. Your Notes and References section is actually almost entirely Footnotes. Notes 2 and 3 don't support the claims in the text, they just tell me more about the artists. None of 4-16 support the text, they are footnotes. Similarly 18/19/20 and so on. Almost every one is not a citation. A couple more things about Citations; you can't use Wikipedia - as that would be circular, you should really use blogs - as they are not always reliable, and you can't use unpublished sources like letters or personal recollections - as they can't be Verified. It is an interesting topic but we need Citations supporting the text and linked to Reliable Sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ealing Art Guild and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Ealing Art Guild, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.

Audrey Carter

I see that you added Audrey Carter as a former pupil of Sutton High School, London, but the 3 refs are just links o her books. Is there any published info which says she went to SHS? I can find info about both her doctorates, but not school. If there is a mention of SHS, perhaps in the introduction or even the cover blurb, please clarify this and add the statement as a "quote" in the reference. Or even if she gets a mention in SHS magazine or some GDST publication.

I'm wondering whether she might be "notable" enough for an article, with scholarly reviews of her first two books.

I went to SHS, so it's on my watch list. PamD 05:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your note. I can understand that you care about correct entries to do with SHS, but may I ask that you care enough to get Audrey's name right? She is Audrey Carpenter. She is my wife. Audrey T Smith appears on the school's Honours Board, and we believe there is a piece about her in an SHS magazine, contributed by fellow-pupil Jill Baker (née Stanley). We also have some books awarded as prizes to Audrey with plates in them showing her name.

Jgdc47B (talk) 08:39, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jgdc47B Apologies for getting your wife's name wrong, though luckily only on a talk page. And I forgot to "subscribe" to this post, so hadn't noticed your reply until just now.

I've now actually started an article on her, on the strength of 3 books and an ODNB contribution, and to fit the "Women Writers" theme for the month at the WP:Women in Red project: see Audrey T. Carpenter. But Wikipedia relies on reliable independent published sources. If we can find a snippet from the SHS magazine, or if she can get a mention in the GDST alumna magazine which turns up from time to time, then fine, we can cite that. If the local paper has done a feature about her and mentions SHS, that's good. If there are any appropriate sources which I've missed, from which the article could be expanded, do let me know. It's light on biographical info - 2 PhDs and an occupation, but not much more. (But congratulations to her on taking such an interesting path post retirement: me, I just edit Wikipedia).

Strictly speaking you should not be editing any article about her - see WP:COI - but certainly not adding any unsourced information. While "personal communication" is often seen in academic publications (ie "Prof X told me this over coffee" or "I had a letter from their daughter"), it is not allowed in Wikipedia. PamD 07:53, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your note, Pam. Audrey and I are pleased that you have started on a page for her. I'll send you some more material n a day or two. Do you have access to SHS publications? John. Jgdc47B (talk) 15:37, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, but the school has an archivist who would have access to stuff. I don't think the magazine is online, but she helped me with some info about the late Helen Dunmore, novelist and poet, who was in my year for a few years. PamD 16:01, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't online, but I have emailed Mrs Sue James to see if she can find anything. Jgdc47B (talk) 10:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to suggest changes

Please don't treat an encyclopedia article as a draft, with "highlighter" and suggested alterations.

If it's an obvious typo like "listedd", just change it. Even an editor with a clear WP:COI is allowed to do uncontroversial helpful things like that.

For other suggestions, please add a comment to the talk page including a reference to the reliable published independent source which includes the information. Thanks. PamD 17:36, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry - that was a stupid thing to do. I'd been working much of the day on a draft of materiel to send you about Audrey's career, and hadn't switched out of "draft mode" when I turned to your article! It was the first time in many years of editing, and may it be the last...

I can send you a link to my Sandbox page later on today. Is that the best way to send you what I have written? Jgdc47B (talk) 08:43, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jgdc47B/sandbox You should find plenty of material here. I'll send the full list of her publications when it becomes available.Jgdc47B (talk) 09:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have had a message from Sue James, via SHS, that her computer is out of action and she is waiting to have it repaired. Jgdc47B (talk) 09:02, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have sent you several messages recently, but I have had no acknowledgment from you. Are you receiving them? Jgdc47B (talk) 10:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you need a citation for Audrey's having grown up in Banstead, which is very difficult to provide. May I ask why, when for Ruth Kelly, whose page I assume you shepherd with equal diligence, has no inline citations for her Background section? Jgdc47B (talk) 09:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just spotted this when I came to reply about PMK, which is on my watchlist as I created the article. I don't curate the entire encyclopedia and haven't knowingly had anything to do with Ruth Kelly, but having noticed your comment I had a look and found that the Aitkenhead ref, already cited in the Background section, appears to support pretty much everything in that section (birthplace, SHS, etc). It was divided into too many short paragraphs, which perhaps made the sourcing less obvious, and I've tweaked it somewhat. I couldn't find a source about the University of Navarra, and have flagged that up.

I think I gave up on this article and on replying to your messages, sorry. I had pointed out WP:COI which says you should not be editing the article at all, but you seemed to be adding sources so I just left you to it. PamD 13:28, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Phyllis Mudford King

Please add a source for the interesting content you've just added to this article. Thanks. PamD 10:40, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It came from her will, a copy of which is easily obtainable at https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/ Jgdc47B (talk) 10:54, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But you need to provide a source in the article. PamD 11:21, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An offline source is acceptable, so if you have the will in front of you just create a reference citing it - something like "Codicil dated xxx to the will of P M K dated yyy", and perhaps add a note "available from..." for anyone wanting to take it further. PamD 11:27, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
