Jenny Twitchell Kempton

This is a decent article on a good topic, but it really needs inline citations (see Wikipedia:Citing_sources). I have added a couple just in passing. Antrocent (♫♬) 00:01, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I found the article interesting and nominated it for the Did you know section of the Main page, interesting because March is for women's history, and she died on 13 March. Can you please format the "bare urls", mentioning date, title, publisher and access date? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:31, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the nomination Gerda! I think Jenny would be a terrific recipient. I am new to posting on Wikipedia, so unclear how to correct your comment on bare urls. For many, the content such as historical newspapers is not accessible directly through weblinks as the content resides on microfiche in libraries or behind paid services such as Newspapers.com. Please advise.

The article was reviewed, and two facts need a citation, marked in the article, - can you add them? I will look at the other, - "bare urk" means the link to a website, which should be replaced by more information, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

hi, nice article. normally pictures go to the Wikimedia Commons, and you would use the PD-1923 template. even unpublished things are considered "published" even as distributed as a carte de visite. Duckduckstop (talk) 17:44, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Jenny Twitchell Kempton

On 8 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jenny Twitchell Kempton, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that contralto Jenny Twitchell Kempton sang in the first performance of Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah in Boston? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jenny Twitchell Kempton. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), 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.
