A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	A Barnstar for your valuable contribution to articles on Candian art. Thank You! cart*-Talk* 10:06, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A cookie for you!

Welcome and keep up the good contributions! It's a good thing to have an actual art historian working on articles. Let me know if you have any editing questions, as I am happy to help. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Precious

Canadian art

Thank you for quality articles about Canadian artists and curators, based on scientific expertise, such as Nancy Dillow, Walter Yarwood and Sybille Pantazzi, for adopting our many written and unwritten rulez of editing fast and willing, - Joan, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2441 of Precious, a prize of QAI. It's a pleasure to meet you. Consider to have your work presented on the Main page in the DYK section, - just ping me for the next one you write, - it has to be nominated within a week after creation or substantial expansion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I will. I have a new article up on William R. Watson, just finished.Joan arden murray (talk) 12:04, 10 September 2020 (UTC)@Gerda Arendt:[reply]

Great. I looked briefly, and as if you didn't get enough rulez, some more:

The lead is a summary, no reference is needed there unless it's something not covered later, or a quote. I moved the ref to his birthplace. Please check.
Try to have references in ascending order.
A recommendation: avoid one-sentence paragraphs.

I'll take a closer look after nominating another one in my pipeline, - see my user page. Should we use what he is known for as a "hook", or do you see something especially "hooky". If so, let me know, and have a reference right after the fact. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:47, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One more recommendation, to avoid a confusing edit history: you could do one of two things, work in a general sandbox and then copy/paste to article space (which is good if you are the only editor and don't need to know later when exactly you changed what), or begin in a dedicated draft article, which can be deleted after you moved to article space. Moving twice is needlessly complicated for others to understand. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for William R. Watson

On 24 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William R. Watson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when William R. Watson retired from his gallery for contemporary art in Montreal, one of his artists wrote: "You have known, and been a good friend to nearly all the artists"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/William R. Watson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, William R. Watson), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Missing cite in Dorothy Cameron Bloore

The article cites "catalogue 1993" but no such source is listed in bibliography. Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Svick/HarvErrors.js]] to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata (talk) 14:22, 4 October 2020 (UTC) Thanks, done.Joan arden murray (talk) 15:48, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quick lint errors

When you created a bunch of infoboxes for canadian artists last month (btw, thanks!), the infobox template you copied always missed "| awards =" and instead just had "| awards", which created a lot of invalid parameters. I'm trying to fix the invalid parameters, and although it is minor, make sure to double-check that your copy-paste template has all the base parameters correct. Thanks again for doing the task though! :) Sennecaster (What now?) 15:52, 16 April 2021 (UTC) Yes, I will. Thanks, didn`t know.Joan arden murray (talk) 17:31, 16 April 2021 (UTC) I will try to fix the ones I remember!Joan arden murray (talk) 17:42, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Joan arden murray. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joan Murray (art historian), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 12:50, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you're aware of all of this though in practice, as I did note you're declared this on your user page. I just wanted to ensure you're aware of the relavent policies, etc. Thank you again for your contrubutions! -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:52, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rita Letendre

Thanks for the Xmas wishes! Just getting to this in February - lol. The list looks pretty good and includes all of the major catalogs I have on hand - I have a bunch of the Gevik catalogs, but they tend to be small so not sure if you want to consider them "major". There was one pretty nice catalog from Simon Blais - here is the reference in case you want to dig it up: ASSELIN, Hedwidge, Rita Letendre : Les éléments/The Elements, Montréal, Éditions Simon Blais, 2001, 64 pp. which is probably worth including in the major catalog list. The Palm Springs Desert Museum had a nice little catalog that I wouldn't consider "major" either but has a nice forward by Gilles Henault and four or five critical reviews of her work - we could pop that one up a level in my estimation. I will edit the page to include these in that first list but feel free to edit as you see fit :) I found one more catalog in my library that is likely of interest - the show catalog was small but it was a public show called "Le feu et L'Esprit" (translates to 'fire and spirit') at the Musee d'art Contemparion de Baie St-Paul (formerly Centre d'exposition de Baie-Saint-Paul) I will add that to the "other" list - cheers!

June 2022

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Missvain (talk) 00:37, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Joan arden murray

Thank you for creating Henri Masson (artist).

User:Netherzone, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thank you for creating this article. It can be improved by adding more inline citations. He is notable, as he is in Benezit, but I think the article needs more verification of important collections where his work is held. Mostly what I can find are auction sites, but they do not contribute to notability.

a question re oshawa in the early 1970s

ms murray i know you were at the mclaughlin gallery from 1974 but did you not also judge the annual art shows held at oshawa city hall in 1971 and/or 1972? i can't find an email address for you so must resort to this. thanks. btw i seem to have inherited the questionable legacy of a mobile user - the address arrived today. 70.51.83.211 (talk) 20:45, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes

Hi! Thank you for your work adding infoboxes to articles. I just wanted to let you know that I've had to edit a few of them as field and elected aren't parameters included in Template:Infobox person and cause error messages when previewing articles. Also nationalities shouldn't have wikilinks as per MOS:OVERLINK. Thanks again, Suonii180 (talk) 12:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Joan arden murray On the topic of infoboxes, please note that when adding images you just need to add the filename, not the whole template like with images in other parts of the article (as per WP:INFOBOXIMAGE).

August 2022

Hi Joan arden murray! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at George Hunter (photographer) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 14:24, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thank you for your work on Cheryl Sourkes. We are starting a new project to edit women electronic writer information in wikipedia and wikidata and I would love to get your insights and experiences as we step up to the plate. What issues have you run into when corralling newbies to identify and update women writers? What things do you wish you had done differently? What are good ways to start?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_writers/Women_electronic_literature_writers LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 15:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear LoveElectronicLiterature|LoveElectronicLiterature, I am not the person you seek. I am the person for Canadian art. I can tell you that when I started in Wikipedia, a very experienced Swedish wikipedia editor taught me and was a great help. I really think a teacher is essential. But I cannot be this person. The one person I tried to teach soon left me fixing the article I tried to teach her on. Sorry,Joan arden murray (talk) 18:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joan - I noticed that you removed all the red links from this page. I put them back based on the rationale in WP:REDLINK, but you removed them again with no explanation or discussion. pburka (talk) 20:42, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was taught to remove non-existent links. If you put the links back, are you waiting for wikipedia articles someday? It's okay with me if you are.Joan arden murray (talk) 20:46, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good article BTW!Joan arden murray (talk) 20:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. From the guideline I linked above: "Red links help Wikipedia grow" and "In general, a red link should remain in an article if it links to a title that could plausibly sustain an article". I believe these are all notable topics, so I think they should remain linked. Of course they're all open to discussion! But please explain why you think the topic is non-notable when you remove a red link. pburka (talk) 21:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited info in comics creator articles

Hi. Please do not add uncited material to Wikipedia articles, as you did with this edit to Chrissie Zullo. Since you've accumulated over 27,000 edits here since 2019, you may have learned that Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, as described here. Although there is a citation for her birthplace it in the article, it does not specify the city. If you'd like to talk, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 15:16, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The above also applies to your edits in other comics creator articles, such as this edit to Steve McNiven. The cited source in the McNiven article does not specify that he was born in Halifax. Nightscream (talk) 15:49, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edward Roper (artist)

Hello Joan - I've come across the article for Edward Roper (artist) this morning and its problems with dates, and the conflicting information between the Canadian Encyclopedia and the Design & Art Australia references. Based on the depth of information between the two, I suggest that you go with the Australian source rather than the Canadian Encylopedia. As it is, the dates just don't line up in the article. Unless Mr. Roper mastered time travel, of course :) .......Regards, PK T(alk) 12:57, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is the Australian source sounded like it might have a different man mixed in (a C. Roper but who am I to know?). Anyway, I have changed the death date and supplementary facts following the Australian source. Thank you, Joan arden murray (talk) 14:22, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Joan arden murray!

The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Stephen Livick

Hi, I appreciate your efforts in covering Canadian art. I briefly look into several of your articles and to my judgement they are of good quality. Therefore I am a bit surprized with "Stephen Livick:. You are probably already familiar with Wikipedia notability guidelines. Basically the requirement is that article subject must be covered in detail in reliable sources independent from the subject. References to galleries and collections are not independent. You need references from well-known art critics such as you :-). I am afraid this article will not survive AfD. - Altenmann >talk 02:34, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind reminder. I may have material coming in that will help. Best! Joan Murray Joan arden murray (talk) 21:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC) I checked the Wikipedia guidelines and found "represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums" which I enhanced. He really was a well-known photographer. Thank you again, Joan MurrayJoan arden murray (talk) 17:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
