I've been working insistently on List of compositions by Viktor Kosenko for over three years (if I told you the story behind my latest efforts to collect information on Kosenko's compositions you wouldn't believe me), and now somebody shows up, "copy" my work-in-progress, and claims its creation. That is, my A-number-one piece of work is now part of somebody else's list of articles created. How to deal with that ? Krenakarore TK 17:51, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Oh dear. Wiki is a mystery for us outsiders. I've just discovered that the page I created has been deleted for a reason that makes no sense to me at all. There are almost no external references - though I have now found some mention on other sites and in several books. This seems very unfair as I never log in - or rather haven't since creating the page so I never got the message someone wanted to delete it. The situation is that I seem to be the only "expert" on this subject and since talking to an ex-waitress can now fairly safely claim this was probably the second expresso bar in London and probably the first discothèque. Does my text still exist somewhere? Help?

About that shed: this house was formerly owned by Wayne Greenhaw. In the shed I discovered a poster from some election, I guess in the 1980s: his wife, Sally, had run for office, some position as a judge. So she must have gone through law school maybe in the 1960s or 1970s, and had the moxie to run for judge when her husband was a white Alabamian writing critically about the South's political racial heritage. Cool beans. Drmies ( talk) 03:53, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
I was asked to look into your comment here. What exactly does being an admin have to do with you reporting someone to ANI? -- NeilN talk to me 19:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
It doesn't have anything to do with it. What she's saying is that she's an admin yet has never been involved in filing an ANI but would report him if he didn't back off, which basically says how irritating he was being that she'd have to do it. If this is a "abuse of admin tools" investigation please go away NeilN as it's not about that. clearly. You;d have a point perhaps if she'd said "I'm an admin and I will have to block you if you persist", but she said nothing remotely like that.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:13, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
NeilN now I'm being called "a complete jerk and acting like a troll" by Montanabw. Notice that I've never called anyone names, but several people are calling me names. These people are quick to fault others but can't see their own faults. This is just a case of people sticking with each other like glue, but I don't really expect people like Dr. Blofeld to be any different, it's not like he would go against his co-founder. He can't even see that Rosiestep was wrong to use the threat of reporting to ANI as some kind of abuse of power to in effect stop me from posting on the WP talk page (which everyone is allowed to do, by the way). In the next breath, I'm being praised for my work. Unbelievable. — Calvin999 07:46, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
OK, so WP:Women is anti-male and a redundant project and quoting Montana you're being a "complete jerk", that makes it about even. Everybody was totally wrong and should be eternally punished for their wicked deeds. Everybody quickly hug and make up and move on. We'll continue with WP:Women, you continue with WP:Rihanna and everbody is happy. That was easy. Now move on everybody and let's not turn Rosie's talk page into a whole circus show, we must all have better things to do...♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:33, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Rosiestep, for future reference, WikiProject Women would fall under the Arbitration Committee's GGTF discretionary sanctions: "Discretionary sanctions are authorised for any page relating to or any edit about: (i) the Gender Gap Task Force; (ii) the gender disparity among Wikipedians; and (iii) any process or discussion relating to these topics, all broadly construed." Pinging NeilN so that he's aware of this too.
If you want to, you can post the sanctions warning at the top of the project's talk page or you can post alerts on the talk page of any editor causing a problem. I've done the former at GGTF, but I incorporated it into the general heading to make it less aggressive-looking (see {{ Gender gap task force/Talk header}}.
For any uninvolved admin to take action under the sanctions, the editor must have received an alert on his/her talk page. The talk-page templates are at Template:Ds/talk notice and the individual alerts are at Template:Ds/alert. The "code" is GGTF, which is added to the templates. Hope this helps!

@ Char: I've c/e it including the NPOV issues, added some imgs and a WikiProject template, removed the advertising template. I think it's definitely improved so I re-assessed it to C-class, but I'm not convinced it is GA quality. That is up to the reviewer, though.

Dear Rosiestep: certainly, you or one of your co-workers can move this little article forward.

Hi Rosie, I took the liberty of expanding your article. I found a very good description of the hotel, but it is a wordpress URL and therefore not RS. Other (reliable) sources talked about Frank Sinatra frequenting the barber shop in the basement and playing gin rummy with the owner. Do you think that would make a good hook? I'd be happy to nominate it. Best, Yoninah ( talk) 17:38, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
Excellent work Yoninah. "The hotel was popular with theatre and radio actors visiting Los Angeles, including Jackie Gleason, Doris Day, Marilyn Monroe, and Edward Everett Horton,[2] as well as top bandleaders like Harry James, Paul Whiteman, and Hal McIntyre." -that's definitely the place then. I believe the book implied it was a sort of music venue with listening to musicians and recordings. I wasn't entirely convinced it was a hotel initially but it's definitely the place. [20] might be a free image without copyright notice.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:47, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

I've been working on this all morning. Just went to put a link to the asteroid named after her, 9826 Ehrenfreund and it linked to your page. What do we do? SusunW ( talk) 20:11, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
@ SusunW: me, too. :) I'm intrigued by something you discovered: "Foing-Ehrenfreund, Pascale (1999). Cosmic Dust (habilitation thesis). University of Vienna." I'm trying to figure out the "Foing" part. Found this. Led me to this. Will continue my sleuthing and see where it takes me. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 19:42, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rosie. I've created a draft thank-you note for Women in Science. This time, I would appreciate having it checked, perhaps by Keilana too, before I send it out. I haven't included any "fair use" logos this time. It's great to see how much was achieved during the month of November: new articles, enhancements, DYKs, and a number of enthusiastic new editors. I'm preparing an extended list of participants which I hope to complete today or tomorrw. I'm still pretty busy getting Jean Sibelius to GA (which explains why I have not created as many new articles as I would have liked). Hope I'll also have time to draft and send out the invitations for Women in Religion. Any offers of assistance? Which other WikiProjects should be approached?-- Ipigott ( talk) 14:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Rosie, thanks for inviting me to write an article for Signpost. While I would be happy to assist, I think it is important that the article should be authored by one of the active female members of the group. I now hear that Megalibrarygirl has volunteered. I look forward to her article. If she needs any help, I may be able to assist. May I just say at this point that I think there should be emphasis on the increasingly constructive collaboration between all those involved, both the formal members of WiR and those who participate in the editathons, many of whom are (not yet?) members. This is all in pleasant contrast to the conflicts which arise all too often in Wikipedia as a whole. I believe most people collaborate because their work is appreciated and they are made to feel welcome. Furthermore, when questions are raised, they can be discussed openly, without reproach, paving the way for increased participation and improved results.-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:04, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

I like the condensed version, would go further to have a smaller font in the header. We don't need to shout ;) It would fit in one line on my display where at present it breaks before "Religion". We could also drop the kind of redundant "You are invited", and might have what it is first, then "join us". I am no friend of italics but that's just me ;) Here is my version to drop. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:49, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine ( User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason ( User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew ( User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

While working away on my woman of the day, am I at 100 yet?, I discovered this gem, Woman’s Messenger Motor Service, which seems right up your alley, and was apparently known as the Red Cross Motor Corps. [23] Though a search produced several articles that mention the Motor Corps, Ruth M. Jefford, Alzira Peirce, SS Mactan (1898), Florence Jaffray Harriman, and mine Julia Lester Dillon, no article on the service itself and I don't see it covered in the Red Cross Article, other than a link to their uniform [24]. Do you think it is worth a separate article? SusunW ( talk) 00:48, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rosiestep, I see you have made (so far) the only session proposal for the West Coast Wikipedia 15 celebrations. Yay! I'm trying to nudge SF planning forward, so I wanted to ask you: is it important to you that this be in some way linked with Seattle, Vancouver, etc.? If so, do you have ideas about how that should work? (One thought -- given that WMF has excellent facilities for Hangouts On Air, you could do it as a Google Hangout with panelists in each location -- and each of the other locations streams it locally on a screen. That format could work either if it's just a local event, or in sync with the other locations. But is that more or less what you have in mind, or something different?) Please note I have created a mostly empty local schedule here: Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/Wikipedia Day 2016#Schedule (tentative). - Pete ( talk) 17:37, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Arkansas just created a Women's Hall of Fame. I have no idea how to create the template like is on the other WHoF entries. Looking at both Colorado and Connecticut it just looks like any other template. Can you help? Also...Arkansas inducted an organization that might interest you. The Women’s Emergency Committee was formed in Little Rock in 1958 to get schools reopened in response to the governor closing the city’s four public high schools to prevent desegregation. [25] If you can help me with the template, or point me to someone who can, that'd be great. Hope you are enjoying your holiday festivities. SusunW ( talk) 20:06, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

@ SusunW and Megalibrarygirl: I was thinking what if we moved the women's halls of fame section from the "redlinks by topic" page to it's own redlinks page? This way, they would get more notice on our navbar. And maybe in 2016, we could collaborate with some of the women's halls of fame and get those redlinked articles written during an editathon(s)? Maybe WikiWomen's User Group could be involved, e.g. facilitate coordination with the different state halls, and so on (cc: @ Keilana and FloNight:)? -- Rosiestep ( talk) 22:06, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I've been working insistently on List of compositions by Viktor Kosenko for over three years (if I told you the story behind my latest efforts to collect information on Kosenko's compositions you wouldn't believe me), and now somebody shows up, "copy" my work-in-progress, and claims its creation. That is, my A-number-one piece of work is now part of somebody else's list of articles created. How to deal with that ? Krenakarore TK 17:51, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Oh dear. Wiki is a mystery for us outsiders. I've just discovered that the page I created has been deleted for a reason that makes no sense to me at all. There are almost no external references - though I have now found some mention on other sites and in several books. This seems very unfair as I never log in - or rather haven't since creating the page so I never got the message someone wanted to delete it. The situation is that I seem to be the only "expert" on this subject and since talking to an ex-waitress can now fairly safely claim this was probably the second expresso bar in London and probably the first discothèque. Does my text still exist somewhere? Help?

About that shed: this house was formerly owned by Wayne Greenhaw. In the shed I discovered a poster from some election, I guess in the 1980s: his wife, Sally, had run for office, some position as a judge. So she must have gone through law school maybe in the 1960s or 1970s, and had the moxie to run for judge when her husband was a white Alabamian writing critically about the South's political racial heritage.

I was asked to look into your comment here. What exactly does being an admin have to do with you reporting someone to ANI? -- NeilN talk to me 19:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
It doesn't have anything to do with it. What she's saying is that she's an admin yet has never been involved in filing an ANI but would report him if he didn't back off, which basically says how irritating he was being that she'd have to do it. If this is a "abuse of admin tools" investigation please go away NeilN as it's not about that. clearly. You;d have a point perhaps if she'd said "I'm an admin and I will have to block you if you persist", but she said nothing remotely like that.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:13, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
NeilN now I'm being called "a complete jerk and acting like a troll" by Montanabw. Notice that I've never called anyone names, but several people are calling me names. These people are quick to fault others but can't see their own faults. This is just a case of people sticking with each other like glue, but I don't really expect people like Dr. Blofeld to be any different, it's not like he would go against his co-founder. He can't even see that Rosiestep was wrong to use the threat of reporting to ANI as some kind of abuse of power to in effect stop me from posting on the WP talk page (which everyone is allowed to do, by the way). In the next breath, I'm being praised for my work. Unbelievable. — Calvin999 07:46, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
OK, so WP:Women is anti-male and a redundant project and quoting Montana you're being a "complete jerk", that makes it about even. Everybody was totally wrong and should be eternally punished for their wicked deeds. Everybody quickly hug and make up and move on. We'll continue with WP:Women, you continue with WP:Rihanna and everbody is happy. That was easy. Now move on everybody and let's not turn Rosie's talk page into a whole circus show, we must all have better things to do...♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:33, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Rosiestep, for future reference, WikiProject Women would fall under the Arbitration Committee's GGTF discretionary sanctions: "Discretionary sanctions are authorised for any page relating to or any edit about: (i) the Gender Gap Task Force; (ii) the gender disparity among Wikipedians; and (iii) any process or discussion relating to these topics, all broadly construed." Pinging NeilN so that he's aware of this too.
If you want to, you can post the sanctions warning at the top of the project's talk page or you can post alerts on the talk page of any editor causing a problem. I've done the former at GGTF, but I incorporated it into the general heading to make it less aggressive-looking (see {{ Gender gap task force/Talk header}}.
For any uninvolved admin to take action under the sanctions, the editor must have received an alert on his/her talk page. The talk-page templates are at Template:Ds/talk notice and the individual alerts are at Template:Ds/alert. The "code" is GGTF, which is added to the templates. Hope this helps!

Hi Rosie, I took the liberty of expanding your article. I found a very good description of the hotel, but it is a wordpress URL and therefore not RS. Other (reliable) sources talked about Frank Sinatra frequenting the barber shop in the basement and playing gin rummy with the owner. Do you think that would make a good hook? I'd be happy to nominate it. Best, Yoninah ( talk) 17:38, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
Excellent work Yoninah. "The hotel was popular with theatre and radio actors visiting Los Angeles, including Jackie Gleason, Doris Day, Marilyn Monroe, and Edward Everett Horton,[2] as well as top bandleaders like Harry James, Paul Whiteman, and Hal McIntyre." -that's definitely the place then. I believe the book implied it was a sort of music venue with listening to musicians and recordings. I wasn't entirely convinced it was a hotel initially but it's definitely the place.

Hi Rosie. I've created a draft thank-you note for Women in Science. This time, I would appreciate having it checked, perhaps by Keilana too, before I send it out. I haven't included any "fair use" logos this time. It's great to see how much was achieved during the month of November: new articles, enhancements, DYKs, and a number of enthusiastic new editors. I'm preparing an extended list of participants which I hope to complete today or tomorrw. I'm still pretty busy getting Jean Sibelius to GA (which explains why I have not created as many new articles as I would have liked). Hope I'll also have time to draft and send out the invitations for Women in Religion. Any offers of assistance? Which other WikiProjects should be approached?-- Ipigott ( talk) 14:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Rosie, thanks for inviting me to write an article for Signpost. While I would be happy to assist, I think it is important that the article should be authored by one of the active female members of the group. I now hear that Megalibrarygirl has volunteered. I look forward to her article. If she needs any help, I may be able to assist. May I just say at this point that I think there should be emphasis on the increasingly constructive collaboration between all those involved, both the formal members of WiR and those who participate in the editathons, many of whom are (not yet?) members. This is all in pleasant contrast to the conflicts which arise all too often in Wikipedia as a whole. I believe most people collaborate because their work is appreciated and they are made to feel welcome. Furthermore, when questions are raised, they can be discussed openly, without reproach, paving the way for increased participation and improved results.-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:04, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Women in Science Virtual Edit-a-thon, 8 to 29 November 2015, hosted by

I like the condensed version, would go further to have a smaller font in the header. We don't need to shout ;) It would fit in one line on my display where at present it breaks before "Religion". We could also drop the kind of redundant "You are invited", and might have what it is first, then "join us". I am no friend of italics but that's just me ;) Here is my version to drop. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:49, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Done. I placed the sandbox content at the top. I didn't delete anything that was in the mainspace article; it's below the sandbox content. This needs to be resolved, which is why I placed the {{construction}}

Thanks, 7&6=thirteen! Happy holidays to you and yours! -- Rosiestep ( talk) 03:48, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine ( User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason ( User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew ( User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

While working away on my woman of the day, am I at 100 yet?, I discovered this gem, Woman’s Messenger Motor Service, which seems right up your alley, and was apparently known as the Red Cross Motor Corps. [23] Though a search produced several articles that mention the Motor Corps, Ruth M. Jefford, Alzira Peirce, SS Mactan (1898), Florence Jaffray Harriman, and mine Julia Lester Dillon, no article on the service itself and I don't see it covered in the Red Cross Article, other than a link to their uniform [24]. Do you think it is worth a separate article? SusunW ( talk) 00:48, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rosiestep, I see you have made (so far) the only session proposal for the West Coast Wikipedia 15 celebrations. Yay! I'm trying to nudge SF planning forward, so I wanted to ask you: is it important to you that this be in some way linked with Seattle, Vancouver, etc.? If so, do you have ideas about how that should work? (One thought -- given that WMF has excellent facilities for Hangouts On Air, you could do it as a Google Hangout with panelists in each location -- and each of the other locations streams it locally on a screen. That format could work either if it's just a local event, or in sync with the other locations. But is that more or less what you have in mind, or something different?) Please note I have created a mostly empty local schedule here: Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/Wikipedia Day 2016#Schedule (tentative). - Pete ( talk) 17:37, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Arkansas just created a Women's Hall of Fame. I have no idea how to create the template like is on the other WHoF entries. Looking at both Colorado and Connecticut it just looks like any other template. Can you help? Also...Arkansas inducted an organization that might interest you. The Women’s Emergency Committee was formed in Little Rock in 1958 to get schools reopened in response to the governor closing the city’s four public high schools to prevent desegregation. [25] If you can help me with the template, or point me to someone who can, that'd be great. Hope you are enjoying your holiday festivities. SusunW ( talk) 20:06, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

@ SusunW and Megalibrarygirl: I was thinking what if we moved the women's halls of fame section from the "redlinks by topic" page to it's own redlinks page? This way, they would get more notice on our navbar. And maybe in 2016, we could collaborate with some of the women's halls of fame and get those redlinked articles written during an editathon(s)? Maybe WikiWomen's User Group could be involved, e.g. facilitate coordination with the different state halls, and so on (cc: @ Keilana and FloNight:)? -- Rosiestep ( talk) 22:06, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
