List of works questions

Hi Susan, I hope all is well. I have a question I was hoping you could answer (I can't find the answer in any of the documentation). I'm working on a BLP of a scholar who is notable specifically for her scholarship. She has 400+ papers published in journals, 200+ of which are refereed. How many do I list in "List of selected works" (FYI, aside from the journal articles, there are also books and non-journal articles)? She has 7 works that have 500+ cites, ~20 works that have 250+ cites, and ~50 works that have 100+ cites. (She has 20,000+ total cites on Google scholar.) Should I:

• List works that have been cited more than XXX times (and if so, what should XXX be–what's "a lot"?)
• List the top XX works (again, how many?)
• List works in which she is the primary author (I don't like this because in many of her most notable works–even the ones attached to her name–she is not the primary author, as she always seems to collaborate, especially in her later career)
• Something else

Also, is Google Scholar an acceptable metric, or should I go a different website (she is a transportation scholar writing mostly about commuting and telecommuting)? If there is a policy/guideline/essay or something on this that I missed that you can point me to, I'd be very appreciative. If not, what is the usual practice or your recommendation? Thanks! ^Leviv_ich? ! 19:55, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Levivich. Sorry I don't know the answer specifically so this is a guess. I would be sure to give the total number of papers she has written. Google Scholar is a fine source, so yes, you could mention the total number of cites. I would put her writing in a list of works, both books and articles, maybe titled "Selected publications." One thing you could do is mask her name in a repetitive list using author-mask=1 from the template cite journal. Good luck with your article. -SusanLesch (talk) 23:07, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

P.S. Maybe just give the 7 papers that are cited 500 or more times. You could note that in the list. -SusanLesch (talk) 00:18, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Good ideas! I think I'll do those 7 top ones, plus a few others that were specifically discussed by other RSes. Thanks for the help! ^Leviv_ich? ! 01:00, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:DT Suzuki by Okamura.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DT Suzuki by Okamura.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:25, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Meetup

So nice to see you on Saturday and thank you for the lovely cake. Chocolate is my favorite and I went home with the pipe character and the W. Feel free to email me sometime if you would like. Jonathunder (talk) 19:08, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Jonathunder, thank you for the invitation. You're welcome for the cake. I was so happy to see you, thought maybe the southern Minnesota snowstorm had stopped you. It's unlikely I will ever email but I did sign up for the user group mailing list. Best wishes. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:02, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Susan, it was nice to meet you too. I don't really get on wiki that much for editing so I am not sure if I will keep this up or not. I really like the fact that you are taking a class in statistics. Lifelong learning is great. I sort of lag in this department too. If you are bored sometime, feel free to light a fire under me to do something ;-) Mindbodyfuse (talk) 05:03, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
