Posts to article talk pages

[edit]

Looks like there is some crossover between the work of User:Victuallers and that of User:Ipigott. Just FYI. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 16:58, 22 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Rich Farmbrough: Yes, you are quite right. Victuallers added explanatory invitations to 18 college/university talk pages yesterday and today I posted actual invitations to the talk pages of all the women's colleges I could fine. I realized that in a couple of cases my invitation had been added to the pages already covered but I decided to leave there in the hope that they would be easier to forward to other contributors. As far as I could see, there was no cause for confusion. Thanks for checking things out and keeping everyone informed. I hope you will be encouraged to participate in the editathon.--Ipigott (talk) 17:30, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well at least we were noticed :-) - Are you coming Rich on March 8? Victuallers (talk) 20:22, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I might, I could probably get there for 6:30. I still have a lot of philosophers, musicians and anthropologists to get through, quite apart form other projects. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:08, 24 February 2017 (UTC).[reply]
To avoid further crossover, I'll just leave a note here to say I've taken the liberty of updating the template on WP:EDITATHON. Not sure I've done it right, but I hope it's one less job for you all to do. Parkywiki (talk) 15:31, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Banner?

[edit]

I know it's only February as yet ... but we're being told to add a nonexistent banner to talk page! PamD 17:16, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PamD: Thanks for drawing my attention to this. It's now been added: Template:WIR-RM 2017. I still need to go carefully through the page to make sure everything is OK.--Ipigott (talk) 17:43, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, duly added to Talk:Rose Bracher. PamD 17:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redlists

[edit]

As this event focuses on uni women, maybe we should consider substituting the current redlists with these ("missing articles by education" which are quite geographically varied)? To me, the A+F redlists don't seem to belong here... at least not all of them; perhaps just the Wikidata lists (notability has already been established in some language) on Artists and Feminists would suffice. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:14, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Volunteers

[edit]
Do you want me to pop up to Cambridge to help with the training aspect?
Do you want me to update any of the training booklets that I have placed in User:ClemRutter/training#Booklets- for example Wellcome Library Creating an article: if so we need to start a dialogue on my talk page. ClemRutter (talk) 15:02, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I'll pencil it in. Do have a look particularly at the Wellcome booklet- I haven't added anything on WiR or notability or BLP. It might be easier to use email. I am in Nottingham from Wednesday till Monday but unsure of my commitments till I arrive.ClemRutter (talk) 00:40, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Training booklet

[edit]

This is still a work in progress- Women in Red Creating an article - I hope to do a little more on it tomorrow and printout a few copies for Wednesday. Enjoy and email me any suggestions. Others can be found on my Training page.--ClemRutter (talk) 01:50, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ClemRutter, I really like your training guide: Women in Red Creating an article. Will you be uploading it to the WiR's Commons category? It would be great if you're comfortable doing so. --Rosiestep (talk) 09:14, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, as long as you understand it is a draft- and I need a lot more collaboration on it before it is of a GA quality. Anyone is welcome to upload it 'as is' in the meantime. But do read it- and give some severe feedback as soon as possible. --ClemRutter (talk) 12:19, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi ClemRutter, great work (hi Rosiestep, could this be included as a resource on the wir page?), have read it and have a couple of typos/wording suggestions, as follows:
page2, 2nd para, "idas", should be "ideas"?
3rd para, "Every lecturer in the world tells his students" and "uses it to prepare his lectures" to "Every lecturer in the world tells their students" and "uses it to prepare their lectures"?
page 9, 1st para "but the grey haired deletionists are far more caution." to "but the deletionists are far more cautious." or "but other editors are more cautious."?
2nd para, 2nd dotpoint, "and peer reveiwed academic" to "and peer reviewed academic"?
sorry, this is all i can do now as work beckons:(( Coolabahapple (talk) 08:32, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This can be modified- and the format changed to suit requirements- once we have identified the needs of the use it can be split or what ever- I have source code to all my booklets on a Dropbox page: see User:ClemRutter/training#Booklets (.odt format) . This is a cooperative game - I can't do it on my own! I certainly cant make executive decisions. Let discussion commence. ClemRutter (talk) 15:37, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
