User talk:Lela Lazishvili

Hello, pleased to join the project on Crime and Justice in 18th century England.

Collaboration

A good choice ! Have you contacted Pbord? Since she is working on Molly Houses you could usefully collaborate as Hitchen was active in this area. You should also contact Altereli who is working in Thief takers, and Benice777 who is working on Defoe's life of Wild. --Jfclegg (talk) 22:48, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Good evening, I am terribly sorry for my late answer, I'm still struggling with my wiki skills. Have already talked to Pbord and looking for more sources to add. Thank you for the suggestion. Lela Lazishvili (talk) 19:12, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Improvement of Charles Hitchen's article

Hi Lela, I see you added some wikilinks and some references, that's perfect. Add a few more and we can remove the banner! Also, consider inserting some of the other sources you listed in the talk page in the Sources section as well, with a proper formatting. Then, you could try to insert some text as well, possibly adding subparagraphs or changing the structure of the article if needed (see Jack Sheppard's table of contents if you need an example of what I mean). --Navarco (talk) 09:44, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Useful link

Hi Lela, here's an article I found during my research on molly houses that could be useful for you as well. Charles Hitchen in Who's Who in Gay and Lesbian History Vol.1Pbord (talk) 22:52, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Piera, I've seen the link, thanks it's helpful. PbordLela Lazishvili (talk) 14:08, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

ASINs and citations

Hi there! I regularly fix ISBN errors categorized in Category:CS1 errors: ISBN, and I've repeatedly noticed errors popping up on Charles Hitchen. You keep putting ASINs into the ISBN field of citations. Please use the "Add more information" field in the citation interface (since edit tags indicate you're using VisualEditor) to select the proper "ASIN" field. Otherwise, keep up the good work. :) Thanks, {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 04:31, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and encouragement!:))@Nihiltres:

checking facts

Your article is really interesting, but you need to check it thoroughly. Several statements you insert as facts may very well be gossip/myth. For example:

Wild was caught after performing a violent jail break and stealing jewels from the installation ceremony for the Knights of the Garter.

This is simply not true! (Look up Wild in the Old Bailey Proceedings). But as a myth its fascinating! You could cite this in quotation marks as an interesting illustration the 18th century print tendency to sensationalise crime, but as a fact???? In any case this is moving rather far away form Hitchen,Mayne add it to the wiki Wild article?

You also talk about Wild as Jonathan Wild became the master of organized crime in the City,

Orangeades crime os a modern concept and should perhaps be put in ' '. Its ok to cite risky statement so ,long as you make it clear that they are NOT reliable. --Jfclegg (talk) 22:14, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

answer to checking facts

Dear @Jfclegg:, Thank you for the helpful comments! I am still working on the editing of the article and trying to cite from the reliable sources and I hope the first half of the article shows that, otherwise I'd like to ask to mention other paragraphs too I could improve (if I am allowed to ask). The examples of the factual inaccuracies noted above are from the older version whose source is not available for me(Matthew, H.C.G. and Brian Harrison, eds. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. vol. 27, 335-6. London: Oxford UP, 2004) . If I leave these two passages, I will definitely note their reliability. Personally I have used the online version of ODNB_http://www.oxforddnb.com/ . Look forward to hearing from you and Thank you again. --Lela Lazishvili (talk) 23:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)--

November 2015

Hello, I'm Eteethan. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Charles Hitchen, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Eteethan (talk) 05:10, 29 November 2015 (UTC) Whoops. Sorry. Eteethan (talk) 05:12, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

improving the article continued

Text still needs improvement, especially the language has to be made clearer and impartial and Uploaded pictures should be given a description. I am continuing to work on it and would appreciate any suggestion.

Incomplete DYK nomination

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Charles Hitchin at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 00:38, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

DYK nomination for Charles Hitchens

Lela Lazishvili, I don't think you're aware that DYK is for articles that have been newly created or greatly expanded within the past seven days. (The expansion needs to be to five times the pre-expansion prose size.) Also, articles that were listed as Good Articles within the past seven days can be nominated.

In the case of the Charles Hitchen article, the bulk of the expansion took place in November; indeed, in order to get a 5x expansion you need to start on November 13. That's well over two months ago, not seven days ago. I'm afraid that the article cannot qualify for DYK. Its only hope now is to become listed as a Good Article at some future date, after which it can be nominated within seven days.

One other thing that was wrong with your nomination is that it did not supply a hook, something you will need to do when you nominate for DYK next time. A hook basically presents an interesting fact or two about the article, meant to entice the readers of Wikipedia's main page to click on the link to the article being nominated. That wikilink must be included in the hook in bold font, and the hook must start with three periods followed by a space and end in a question mark.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I can also arrange to have the nomination pages deleted if you don't want to do it yourself—there were two, with "Hitchen" and "Hitchin" spellings. I'm sorry this nomination didn't work out. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:19, 21 January 2016 (UTC) BlueMoonsetCould you clean both of them from nominations to avoid further misunderstanding? How and who decides whether the article is good or bad? how to know that? thank you for help Lela Lazishvili (talk) 19:23, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
