Women in Red

[edit]

Hi there, OIM20, and welcome to Women in Red. Thanks to the detailed explanations on your user page, I see that you have not only created your first women's biography but have made substantial improvements to other articles about women. You already seem to have come to grips with the essentials of Wikipedia editing, but if you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look at some of our essays, perhaps starting with the Primer. Why not sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members where others will be able to see your interest? Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thank you! I'm still finding my way around everything, so new information is always helpful. ♥ OIM20 (talk) 07:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[edit]

Hi, I'm trying to track down the ultimate source of a technical problem that you might be able to help me with. In this diff you added about 10 citations that contain |url-acess=live. Do you recall intentionally adding that field, or do you think it might have been inserted automatically by Visual Editor? -- GreenC 23:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late response. Do you feel a separate article covering their suit would be differentiated enough from the coverage under the TAEA and Skrmetti articles?
Skrmetti: Jonathan Skrmetti#Friends of George's v. State of Tennessee
The TAEA section is much briefer and largely confined to the lead (6th paragraph), a note from one of the members under "local response" and a mention in the closing section under "Pending litigation". Largely that was done because I had this article pending, but if you feel it's better as a subsection in the TAEA article, rather than having to merge it at a later date, I can edit and place there?

Horrible and meaningless :10 ref names

[edit]

I noticed with approval your edit to HS2. I wondered if you are aware of the RefRenamer tool? It makes such cleanup a lot less boring. (I understand that fixing the Visual Editor to stop creating them in the first place is on the very long "to-do" list). 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:56, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't actually used any of the little bots or tools. I'll check it out. Thanks! OIM20 (talk) 17:35, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, OIM20,

I was reviewing this draft article you tagged for deletion and noticed that you didn't post a notification on the talk page of the draft creator as is expected for all types of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/CFD/etc.). You used Twinkle which should do this automatically so please check your Twinkle Preferences. Make sure that "Notify page creator" box is checked off and ALL CSD boxes are checked off as well. It might be because this was tagged as a CSD G6 but I'm not sure. It can't hurt to check your Preferences.

By the way, I untagged the draft because we have lots of draft articles in foreign languages, they just have to be translated before they are approved by an AFC reviewer. But there isn't a criteria for deleting articles just because they aren't in English. Thank you for your work. Liz Read! Talk! 03:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz - Thanks. I didn't notice Twinkle didn't do that; like you said, it usually does. I'll check the preferences.
I thought since the draft was a translation of parts of an article existing in English already into another language that it would qualify as non-controversial deletion. The OP's notes show it as part of the translation project, so I think it got submitted in a draft to the wrong Wikipedia. I haven't checked the cz pages to see if there's a draft there of the same name. If there is, would that qualify as 'page on another Wiki project'?
Thanks for all you do! OIM20 (talk) 03:40, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, OIM20. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:The Only Mozart Album You Will Ever Need, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 04:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Friends of George's v. State of Tennessee, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Thanks for letting me know. I still don't know everything - it's a big place and there are a lot of guidelines! I appreciate the help. OIM20 (talk) 22:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Agreed there are a lot of rules and the rules have changed over time too. There may even be unwritten rules, a general consensus about the better way to do things might not necessarily get enough argument or discussion to get fully documented in the respective project guidelines. (When it comes to Plot sections I find WP:STREAMLINE useful, full of sensible recommendations and advice but it is considered an "essay" that didn't yet get upgraded to actual proper "guidelines" status.) Even experienced editors would benefit from rereading the WP:SIMPLE rules on a regular basis, top level guidelines like those are underrated. Regular articles showing what editors commonly do can be misleading and show you examples of what articles used to do 10+ years ago and what was considered acceptable then is barely draft quality now. You can learn a lot by looking at {{Good article}}s and {{Featured article}}s. Best of luck. -- 109.76.193.132 (talk) 23:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 11 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pete Wade, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when guitarist Pete Wade was 19, he moved to Nashville with $3, his suitcase, two ham sandwiches, and the telephone numbers of Don Helms and Jerry Rivers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pete Wade. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Pete Wade), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.
