Re: A. Revathi
[edit]Thank you for starting this article. I hope you don't mind, but I added the article to Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Pride 2016/Results, which tracks new and improved LGBT-related content as part of an ongoing Wiki Loves Pride campaign. If you create or improve other LGBT articles between now and the end of June, feel free to update this page with your contributions. Thanks again! ---Another Believer (Talk) 06:54, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of A. Revathi
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on A. Revathi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Women in Red
[edit]Hi there, Shobhasv, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created two interesting biographies of women and hope there will be many more. If you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you Ipigott for your welcome message. I plan on developing more biographies about women. Hope to be in touch and collaborate in future. Shobhasv (talk) 12:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Citation templates
[edit]Are you using some kind of bot to complete citation templates? If so, it is unreliable. For example, in this edit you added:
- Sep 29, Anuja Jaiswal / TNN /; 2020; Ist, 04:34. "Hathras rape survivor moved to Safdarjung, damage to spine permanent | Agra News - Times of India". The Times of India. Retrieved 2020-10-04.
{{cite web}}:|last2=has numeric name (help)CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link)
It should have been:
- Jaiswal, Anuja (29 September 2020). "Hathras rape survivor moved to Safdarjung, damage to spine permanent". Times of India. TNN. Retrieved 4 October 2020.
-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:15, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- I am just using visual editor for adding citations. I have not used any bots. I am not sure about the problem that you are describing here. Shobha (talk) 11:29, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Well you can verify that it is completing citation templates wrongly - for example {{Cite web|last=Sep 29|first=Anuja Jaiswal / TNN /|last2=2020|last3=Ist|first3=04:34 -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:33, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- What do you suggest I should do then to ensure maybe this doesn't happen again?Shobha (talk) 11:37, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- I have never used Visual Editor. So I do not know how someone completes citation templates using it.
- If you want to use the editor I use, go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing and tick "Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta".
I have no idea whether this is better or worse than editing in Visual Editor. - There is something called the "2010 wikitext editor". I have never used that either. You can activate that using Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing and ticking "Enable the editing toolbar".
- If you want to use the editor I use, go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing and tick "Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta".
- I prefer to complete citation templates manually. (I knew there is a bot tool called reflinks, but it makes the kind of mistakes you made, so I wrongly assumed that you were using it.)
- I know from experience that it is really easy to make mistakes, particularly with templates and markup. So I use the "show preview button" a lot, and with stuff that is easy to get wrong I often do a diff after I have made my edit to check my edit for errors.
- If you know you are making a type of mistake, actively look for it, and experiment with correcting it. User sandbox pages are good for experimenting with different ways of doing things (for example: User:Shobha/Sandbox 1, User:Shobha/Sandbox 2).-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:12, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
