Hi. I added a source to your stub above. I hope I did not mess up your editing with conflicts. I'll stop for the moment to let you edit. I did find this picture of her; not sure if it is usable per public domain. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 17:35, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi. you had asked me to prepare a proposal to present to others at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council, to explain the changes that i wish to make, and to get their feedback and input, on what they think of the ideas.
I have prepared a brief, concise draft below.by the way, I have made a sub-section break for this draft, just to make it easier to edit; obviously, if you wish to remove the section break, that is totally up to you.
could you please let me know what you think? thanks!!
draft of ideas to suggest at WikiProject Council, for changes to the page
|
---|
|
ok. what do you think? I have deliberately kept this very concise. I can add to it if you wish.
Also, for discussion of this proposal, there are various options as to where to discuss this. if you wish, I could set up a shared talk page in my own user space. or I could make it a sub-page of the WikiProject Council; however, before I would add any pages there, I would need at least some other editors who wish me to do so. Any options for this is fine with me.
Could you please let me know what you think of the ideas above? does this accord with what you wish me to present there? you had indicated a while back that you had some agreement with some ideas. I am willing to adjust or revise these in any way that you might wish. feel free to let me know which parts need changes, or need expansion, or need condensing; whatever you prefer is totally fine. I appreciate your help. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 18:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Can you work your magic on her? It needs to have British spelling, for which I am inept. Any ideas on what could possibly be used as images? If you are swamped, no worries. SusunW ( talk) 00:07, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to create some kind of collaborative workspace where coordinators or members of various WikiProjects would gather and provide updates and information on what is going on at each wikiproject, i.e. regarding their latest efforts, projects, and where interested editors can get involved.
You have been very helpful, so I wanted to get your brief input on whether you'd be interested in helping me to make this happen. I see a few possible options for making this happen, so I would like to get your input and feedback on this. which of the options below would you prefer? also, please reply to the brief questions below.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this idea, and please let me know your preference, regarding the options above. if you do not see any need for this idea, that is totally fine. However, I think that the majority of editors lack awareness of where the truly active editing is taking place and at which WikiProjects, and I would like to do whatever I can to help make people more aware of where the activity is, what they can do to help, and also which areas of Wikipedia offer ideas and efforts that might help them in their own editing activities. Please feel free to let me know. -- Sm8900 ( talk) 05:19, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ipigott ! thanks so much for your recent post at Village Pump, regarding current group efforts at WP:Women in Red. As you may know, I am trying to develop an idea for a new community forum and bulletin board, that would help editors from differet WikIProjects to share information and ideas about current group efforts that they are part of. .
I am writing to ask for your help with this new idea. could you please draft a notice for editors to help out at the group effort that you referred to there? I think your main focus was various methods at Women in Red to promote article improvement and joint effort, such as contests,the need to improve articles on the Third World, and building interest in current developments such as elections or world conferences Feel free to add any other items, if I left anything out.
This is in order to post this info at the new user:Sm8900/community forum, if that's okay? and please feel free to add any comments, thoughts, or insights, to let us know more about the great efforts that you have been considering.
I am looking for editor events and group projects that I could post to post there, in order to get things rolling., my new approach to this is to approach editors individually, and request input and items from that we can post there, in order to get things rolling, and provide some content to show what we are trying to do. could you please let me know if that sounds okay to you? I really appreciate it. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 14:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

So I have finished with the parts I am comfortable with and now have entered uncharted territory. Can you look over what I have done and make sure I'm good with what I have done so far?
The links to the Monticello database go to a search engine. Is that acceptable? We have sources 15, 17, 22, 27, 34, 36 which tie to the Monticello database, which does not seems to be a significant portion of primary sources when there are over 40 citations in the article, but the MOS does say the information should be confirmed by secondary sources if that is possible. For example, 15 could be confirmed by [1], 17 is already backed up by 18, 22 appears to not have a secondary source to confirm it, 27 is confirmed by [2] and 34 & 36 are confirmed by the amount and names. Is this overkill, or do I need to ask for the database entries to be supplemented if they can be?
I think if I can figure this last bit out and read through the final changes it passes. Do you concur or is there something I have missed? SusunW ( talk) 20:20, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
I found this crazy poorly written stub and was totally fascinated. It could benefit from your eyes if you have time. SusunW ( talk) 01:26, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

I have found my next victim and think that possibly this gives both her birth date and death date? I do not understand why the middle name is Deodata in the death record, but given that it shows her name, her husband's name, her mother's name and birthplace in Saint-Domingue, I'm sure it is my lady. (You don't have to pay, but you do have to register to see the record). Can you confirm that I am correct that this is her death record and the dates/places it gives for those events? Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 19:08, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
SusunW:The first photo is definitely her. Well found! There's absolutely no reason why you should make it fair use. She died in 1883 so the photo is at least 140 years old, probably more like 160. It's therefore a clear PD wherever it was taken (maybe Belgium). According to the website, it belongs to war diaries from 1914 to 1918 belonging to Raphaël Waterschoot of Sint Niklaas (a town in Belgium). You can see the full description here. It apparently was a gift from Philippe Struyf, a member of the family. The photos below show how big the factory was. There also this link. I'm not too sure which photo(s) you're interested in from the book but they don't look very useful to me.-- Ipigott ( talk) 17:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I have another article for Woman in Green, Rebecca Lee Crumpler that I nominated for GA. I didn't start it, but I did a lot of work on in years ago and then a fair amount of work in the last day or so.

Hi, I merged the Turkey entries into it, i'd forgotten about that. It's jumped a 1000 odd now! Can you split the entries 3000-4000 onto a page like the others. I mixed up the Turkey articles a bit, some of them were done a few years ago, it might be best to move them to earlier in the lists. If you don't object we may as well merge the remaining Nordic ones now and just keep it as one list, Ramblersen isn't as active now and it's easier to keep track of on one page. I don't know when the last Nordic entry was merged, I know you've been adding entries fairly regularly. Thanks!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:04, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

I've always been interested in this but I can't commit to doing this full time long term. I get bored with doing something for too long and too consistently, even music! I think it's best to merge the Nordic challenge as I'm only likely to do the odd article. If we had at least 4 active contributors it would be worthwhile.

Fascinating woman. I think her whole family probably merits WP articles. (Maybe Gog the Mild knows someone who is interested in Russian military history?—the von Reisers served in almost every military conflict from Peter the Great's defeat of Sweden to the Seige of Warsaw. There's a whole chapter on them in "А.Д.Бутовского ВОСПОМИНАНИЯ / РУССКАЯ СТАРИНА, С-ПЕТЕРБУРГ, 1915г, Т.164." pp. 96-146 (correlates to PDF pages 105-155) and then a bunch in Астряб, Матвей Григорьевич (1923). "Общественные заслуги Райзеров" [Reiser Public Service. История Полтавы (in Ukrainian). Ukraine: Бориса Тристанова.], but one has to speak/read Russian to read the first one.) At any rate, can you give this one a copyedit? As always, the transliteration of names is confusing and I haven't yet looked for any other photos. SusunW ( talk) 19:33, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ipigott, I'm delighted to see more articles on people in the textiles, but I'm concerned about naming children and giving their birth dates, for privacy reasons.

Hi Ipigott, I was looking to make Michele Adair's page. Have came across a little misunderstanding. Primarily there are two very important sources of information about Michele Adair. Here are the links ( Link 1) and ( Link 2). Now the problem is that I am confused if these two are the same people or not. My research says that they are but I want a second opinion. If you could give this a look and confirm to me that these are the same people that would be great. I am actually looking to make the most of this time in quarantine and contribute as much as I can.

Hi Ipigott,
Just saw your note here and thought I'd leave a message with a little bit of information in case you haven't yet come across Wiki Ed's other program. In the Student Program, we support instructors and students working on higher education class assignments; the Scholars & Scientists program, on the other hand, is a professional development course for academics, professionals, and other subject-matter experts. We meet for 8-12 weeks with weekly meetings and more hands-on staff support throughout the process. The one De Pisan is participating in now is actually themed on Women in Red ( Rosiestep was kind enough to give an inspiring presentation just yesterday). In these courses, we mention WiR any time people are interested in writing about women, since it's just such a great community/resource, but given the theme of this course in particular, I wouldn't be surprised if you saw several more coming your way. Just FYI. :) -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 15:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)fur

I've been trying to work through a list of articles that the ref=harv change caused problems for. This one was a total mess. All sorts of information that had nothing to do with her had been added, bunches of information that had no citations and what citations were there didn't support the statements. Took me 3 days to read everything and totally re-write it. I am hoping if it goes to GA that kind of stuff will stop. I was also able to find quite a few photographs, so am happy about that.

I've noticed over and over again when you add a new member to the Women in Red Opt-In lists. Mostly, I say nothing about it, but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate that you do this action, which is quite important as it supports how we share news about our activities. Thank you, Ian.

If you have the inclination, it could use a copyedit. No worries if you are too busy. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 06:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
I only hope I did her justice. What an amazing figure and preserver of cultural legacy. If you are so inclined, it could use a copyedit. If you are busy, no worries. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 23:48, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
Why are Italian women still so buried? This was so hard to do. If you could look at two sources, I'd appreciate it. This one is in French and I have no clues. This one talks about her getting Jiddu Krishnamurti to do seminars, I'm guessing. You would think that someone from so prominent a family would have more available. But, sigh, I couldn't even find a proper death date or place of death. Any help you can give would be appreciated. SusunW ( talk) 21:42, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
I know this one will drive you crazy, as I opted to use the pronouns "they" and "them" throughout, as clearly Prenner recognized very early that they were "neither man nor woman". (I admit that I wrote it and then had to change the pronouns, because it is very difficult for me to use they/them as singular). But, it definitely needs a copyedit to make sure that who is being spoken of is clear. I am working on photos and hopefully will have those sorted in a day or so. If you are too busy, or involved in other work, no worries. Thank you so much. SusunW ( talk) 20:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Claims like "Camoflaging the sexual orientation of biographical subjects was common through the 20th century in Slovenia,[34] but in the 21st century more openness in society has allowed more balanced presentations of their life, including Prenner's exploration of sex reassignment surgery.[35]" are quite strong, ideally should have more sources. There's also quite a lot of weight on the sexuality in the lead when the bottom only briefly mentions it. Good work though!† Encyclopædius 16:14, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
Give precedence to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, even when it doesn't match what is most common in reliable sources.from the MOS:GENDERID and
In the case of a historical figure, if reliable sources indicate that they lived consistently as a gender other than the one assigned at birth, use the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns that reflect the gender they lived as.from Historical figures. While the last is a discussion, it is on a policy development page. Now to figure out the photos. SusunW ( talk) 14:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I added a source to your stub above. I hope I did not mess up your editing with conflicts. I'll stop for the moment to let you edit. I did find this picture of her; not sure if it is usable per public domain. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 17:35, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi. you had asked me to prepare a proposal to present to others at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council, to explain the changes that i wish to make, and to get their feedback and input, on what they think of the ideas.
I have prepared a brief, concise draft below.by the way, I have made a sub-section break for this draft, just to make it easier to edit; obviously, if you wish to remove the section break, that is totally up to you.
could you please let me know what you think? thanks!!
draft of ideas to suggest at WikiProject Council, for changes to the page
|
---|
|
ok. what do you think? I have deliberately kept this very concise. I can add to it if you wish.
Also, for discussion of this proposal, there are various options as to where to discuss this. if you wish, I could set up a shared talk page in my own user space. or I could make it a sub-page of the WikiProject Council; however, before I would add any pages there, I would need at least some other editors who wish me to do so. Any options for this is fine with me.
Could you please let me know what you think of the ideas above? does this accord with what you wish me to present there? you had indicated a while back that you had some agreement with some ideas. I am willing to adjust or revise these in any way that you might wish. feel free to let me know which parts need changes, or need expansion, or need condensing; whatever you prefer is totally fine. I appreciate your help. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 18:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I would like to create some kind of collaborative workspace where coordinators or members of various WikiProjects would gather and provide updates and information on what is going on at each wikiproject, i.e. regarding their latest efforts, projects, and where interested editors can get involved.
You have been very helpful, so I wanted to get your brief input on whether you'd be interested in helping me to make this happen. I see a few possible options for making this happen, so I would like to get your input and feedback on this. which of the options below would you prefer? also, please reply to the brief questions below.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this idea, and please let me know your preference, regarding the options above. if you do not see any need for this idea, that is totally fine. However, I think that the majority of editors lack awareness of where the truly active editing is taking place and at which WikiProjects, and I would like to do whatever I can to help make people more aware of where the activity is, what they can do to help, and also which areas of Wikipedia offer ideas and efforts that might help them in their own editing activities. Please feel free to let me know. -- Sm8900 ( talk) 05:19, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ipigott ! thanks so much for your recent post at Village Pump, regarding current group efforts at WP:Women in Red. As you may know, I am trying to develop an idea for a new community forum and bulletin board, that would help editors from differet WikIProjects to share information and ideas about current group efforts that they are part of. .
I am writing to ask for your help with this new idea. could you please draft a notice for editors to help out at the group effort that you referred to there? I think your main focus was various methods at Women in Red to promote article improvement and joint effort, such as contests,the need to improve articles on the Third World, and building interest in current developments such as elections or world conferences Feel free to add any other items, if I left anything out.
This is in order to post this info at the new user:Sm8900/community forum, if that's okay? and please feel free to add any comments, thoughts, or insights, to let us know more about the great efforts that you have been considering.
I am looking for editor events and group projects that I could post to post there, in order to get things rolling., my new approach to this is to approach editors individually, and request input and items from that we can post there, in order to get things rolling, and provide some content to show what we are trying to do. could you please let me know if that sounds okay to you? I really appreciate it. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 14:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

So I have finished with the parts I am comfortable with and now have entered uncharted territory. Can you look over what I have done and make sure I'm good with what I have done so far?
The links to the Monticello database go to a search engine. Is that acceptable? We have sources 15, 17, 22, 27, 34, 36 which tie to the Monticello database, which does not seems to be a significant portion of primary sources when there are over 40 citations in the article, but the MOS does say the information should be confirmed by secondary sources if that is possible. For example, 15 could be confirmed by [1], 17 is already backed up by 18, 22 appears to not have a secondary source to confirm it, 27 is confirmed by [2] and 34 & 36 are confirmed by the amount and names. Is this overkill, or do I need to ask for the database entries to be supplemented if they can be?
I think if I can figure this last bit out and read through the final changes it passes. Do you concur or is there something I have missed? SusunW ( talk) 20:20, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
I found this crazy poorly written stub and was totally fascinated. It could benefit from your eyes if you have time. SusunW ( talk) 01:26, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

I have found my next victim and think that possibly this gives both her birth date and death date? I do not understand why the middle name is Deodata in the death record, but given that it shows her name, her husband's name, her mother's name and birthplace in Saint-Domingue, I'm sure it is my lady. (You don't have to pay, but you do have to register to see the record). Can you confirm that I am correct that this is her death record and the dates/places it gives for those events? Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 19:08, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
SusunW:The first photo is definitely her. Well found! There's absolutely no reason why you should make it fair use. She died in 1883 so the photo is at least 140 years old, probably more like 160. It's therefore a clear PD wherever it was taken (maybe Belgium). According to the website, it belongs to war diaries from 1914 to 1918 belonging to Raphaël Waterschoot of Sint Niklaas (a town in Belgium). You can see the full description here. It apparently was a gift from Philippe Struyf, a member of the family. The photos below show how big the factory was. There also this link. I'm not too sure which photo(s) you're interested in from the book but they don't look very useful to me.-- Ipigott ( talk) 17:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I merged the Turkey entries into it, i'd forgotten about that. It's jumped a 1000 odd now! Can you split the entries 3000-4000 onto a page like the others. I mixed up the Turkey articles a bit, some of them were done a few years ago, it might be best to move them to earlier in the lists. If you don't object we may as well merge the remaining Nordic ones now and just keep it as one list, Ramblersen isn't as active now and it's easier to keep track of on one page. I don't know when the last Nordic entry was merged, I know you've been adding entries fairly regularly. Thanks!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:04, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

I've always been interested in this but I can't commit to doing this full time long term. I get bored with doing something for too long and too consistently, even music! I think it's best to merge the Nordic challenge as I'm only likely to do the odd article. If we had at least 4 active contributors it would be worthwhile.

Fascinating woman. I think her whole family probably merits WP articles. (Maybe Gog the Mild knows someone who is interested in Russian military history?—the von Reisers served in almost every military conflict from Peter the Great's defeat of Sweden to the Seige of Warsaw. There's a whole chapter on them in "А.Д.Бутовского ВОСПОМИНАНИЯ / РУССКАЯ СТАРИНА, С-ПЕТЕРБУРГ, 1915г, Т.164." pp. 96-146 (correlates to PDF pages 105-155) and then a bunch in Астряб, Матвей Григорьевич (1923). "Общественные заслуги Райзеров" [Reiser Public Service. История Полтавы (in Ukrainian). Ukraine: Бориса Тристанова.], but one has to speak/read Russian to read the first one.)

Hi Ipigott, I was looking to make Michele Adair's page. Have came across a little misunderstanding. Primarily there are two very important sources of information about Michele Adair. Here are the links ( Link 1) and ( Link 2). Now the problem is that I am confused if these two are the same people or not. My research says that they are but I want a second opinion. If you could give this a look and confirm to me that these are the same people that would be great. I am actually looking to make the most of this time in quarantine and contribute as much as I can.

Hi Ipigott,
Just saw your note here and thought I'd leave a message with a little bit of information in case you haven't yet come across Wiki Ed's other program. In the Student Program, we support instructors and students working on higher education class assignments; the Scholars & Scientists program, on the other hand, is a professional development course for academics, professionals, and other subject-matter experts. We meet for 8-12 weeks with weekly meetings and more hands-on staff support throughout the process. The one De Pisan is participating in now is actually themed on Women in Red ( Rosiestep was kind enough to give an inspiring presentation just yesterday). In these courses, we mention WiR any time people are interested in writing about women, since it's just such a great community/resource, but given the theme of this course in particular, I wouldn't be surprised if you saw several more coming your way. Just FYI. :) -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 15:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)fur

If you have the inclination, she could use a copy-edit. There are also sources I cannot read that I put on the talk page, after asking Gerda for help. Ancient German is impossible for me and I think one is in Estonian, but am unsure. Thanks so much. SusunW ( talk) 19:26, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Ipigott, hello again! I was wondering if you might be able to spare a few moments, look at Bishnu Majhi? I would like to see if it qualifies for DYK, but before that, I would be much more comfortable knowing I didn't get it horribly wrong. I hate having to write about people's personal lives, but this one had almost all the coverage focused on just that. So, DUE and all, seemed kinda important. TIA!

I've been trying to work through a list of articles that the ref=harv change caused problems for. This one was a total mess. All sorts of information that had nothing to do with her had been added, bunches of information that had no citations and what citations were there didn't support the statements. Took me 3 days to read everything and totally re-write it. I am hoping if it goes to GA that kind of stuff will stop. I was also able to find quite a few photographs, so am happy about that. If you have the time or inclination, could you give it a copyedit? Thanks. SusunW ( talk) 22:26, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome. Please take a look at my comment on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Aviators and see if you can resolve the problem. Thanks again. Roundtheworld ( talk) 14:54, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

I've done what I can do with her until GRuban can proof the Russian and help me work out the photos. They are all in that winky period of not-renewed or never copyrighted, so I want more eyes on them and the ones on WP.ru are all done as fair use. I think we have some we can put on commons. If you want to do a copyedit, I think she's ready and I'd really appreciate it. SusunW ( talk) 17:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
If you have the time or inclination to give this one a copyedit, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 23:17, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

I've noticed over and over again when you add a new member to the Women in Red Opt-In lists. Mostly, I say nothing about it, but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate that you do this action, which is quite important as it supports how we share news about our activities. Thank you, Ian.

If you have the inclination, it could use a copyedit. No worries if you are too busy. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 06:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
I only hope I did her justice. What an amazing figure and preserver of cultural legacy. If you are so inclined, it could use a copyedit. If you are busy, no worries. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 23:48, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
Why are Italian women still so buried? This was so hard to do. If you could look at two sources, I'd appreciate it. This one is in French and I have no clues. This one talks about her getting Jiddu Krishnamurti to do seminars, I'm guessing. You would think that someone from so prominent a family would have more available. But, sigh, I couldn't even find a proper death date or place of death. Any help you can give would be appreciated. SusunW ( talk) 21:42, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
I know this one will drive you crazy, as I opted to use the pronouns "they" and "them" throughout, as clearly Prenner recognized very early that they were "neither man nor woman". (I admit that I wrote it and then had to change the pronouns, because it is very difficult for me to use they/them as singular). But, it definitely needs a copyedit to make sure that who is being spoken of is clear. I am working on photos and hopefully will have those sorted in a day or so. If you are too busy, or involved in other work, no worries. Thank you so much. SusunW ( talk) 20:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Claims like "Camoflaging the sexual orientation of biographical subjects was common through the 20th century in Slovenia,[34] but in the 21st century more openness in society has allowed more balanced presentations of their life, including Prenner's exploration of sex reassignment surgery.[35]" are quite strong, ideally should have more sources. There's also quite a lot of weight on the sexuality in the lead when the bottom only briefly mentions it. Good work though!† Encyclopædius 16:14, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
Give precedence to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, even when it doesn't match what is most common in reliable sources.from the MOS:GENDERID and
In the case of a historical figure, if reliable sources indicate that they lived consistently as a gender other than the one assigned at birth, use the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns that reflect the gender they lived as.from Historical figures. While the last is a discussion, it is on a policy development page. Now to figure out the photos. SusunW ( talk) 14:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
