Penny, I've had a go at Daisy Bacon as discussed on the talk page, and was hoping you'd have time to take a look at it and see what you think. I would like to take it to FAC but I think a peer review first would be a good idea. One concern I have is that it relies very heavily on the Powers biography, which is the only source that does more than mention Bacon in passing other than contemporary newspaper interviews. I have a few other resources on pulp fiction but they all discuss the writers rather than the editors so I am not expecting to find anything to add from there.
If you don't have time to look, no worries; I know a couple of other people I can ask. Thanks. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 18:54, 16 June 2023 (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! |

The file File:IreneStegun.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This photo is in PD, and is now on commons File:Irene A. Stegun.jpg
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi Penny Richards. Please provide more descriptive file names for the files you upload. You can find some guidance on how to do this at WP:FILENAME. Strings of numbers or other characters aren't very helpful. The file's being discussed at WP:MCQ needed to be renamed per WP:FNC#2. In addition, you might want to take a look at WP:IUP#FORMAT for reference, but generally it's better to upload photos in jpg format than in png format. Finally, it looks like in some cases you might be use a camera to take photos of images you're finding online, and then perhaps even enlarging them (sometimes even quite bit). Things would probably work better if you just download the image you want to your computer and then upload it from there, without adding the extra step of photograhing it. As for enlarging or cropping, the are some pretty good users helping out at WP:GL who have can do lots of that for you if you don't have the right software or skills to do so yourself. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

One concern I have is that it relies very heavily on the Powers biography, which is the only source that does more than mention Bacon in passing other than contemporary newspaper interviews. I have a few other resources on pulp fiction but they all discuss the writers rather than the editors so I am not expecting to find anything to add from there.
If you don't have time to look, no worries; I know a couple of other people I can ask. Thanks. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 18:54, 16 June 2023 (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! |

Hi Penny Richards. Please provide more descriptive file names for the files you upload. You can find some guidance on how to do this at WP:FILENAME. Strings of numbers or other characters aren't very helpful. The file's being discussed at WP:MCQ needed to be renamed per WP:FNC#2. In addition, you might want to take a look at WP:IUP#FORMAT for reference, but generally it's better to upload photos in jpg format than in png format. Finally, it looks like in some cases you might be use a camera to take photos of images you're finding online, and then perhaps even enlarging them (sometimes even quite bit). Things would probably work better if you just download the image you want to your computer and then upload it from there, without adding the extra step of photograhing it. As for enlarging or cropping, the are some pretty good users helping out at WP:GL who have can do lots of that for you if you don't have the right software or skills to do so yourself. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
