On 14 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sue Bailey Thurman, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1958 Sue Bailey Thurman used a cookbook to publish a "palatable history" of professional black women? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sue Bailey Thurman. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi SusunW! I just lead a seminar yesterday with a digital humanities graduate class on how to use Wikipedia. An issue we ran into toward the end of the class was some of the students not having the "move" ability at the top of their page. Typically pages will have "read," "edit," "View History," and then "More," where the move option can be found. The majority of the class did not have this option and I could not find a way to fix this for them. My first thought was that it might have something to do with the computer they were on (Mac vs a PC, since I have always worked on a PC at the library). Yet today I tried the same process on my Mac laptop but was able to access the "Move" page. Do you have any insight into how I can instruct the class to fix this? Thank you for all of your help!

On 21 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gwendolyn Lizarraga, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Checked on the information from here last night. Many of the photos are from UNLV Special Collections, so I looked through what they have online. Was hoping to find some type of photo that took in a good section of the West Side; Found aerial shots but none of them really let you identify anything. A lot of the photos in the PDF are online at UNLV--the problem would be that we would have to use them as non-free. The PDF dates from 1989 by some copy I read in it, so that won't work for PD either. Tried looking at postcards in various places because that might have been where a PD image could be found. Predictably, the postcards are all from the Strip area. You may not get the links to cooperate right now--the UNLV site seems to be having issues. We hope ( talk) 16:33, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
I found another online archive for the magazine with better scans. this is an external link at the Baha'i News WP page. Their scans are so much clearer. We will be able to have a photo of her from the scans at this link. All I need to do now is to determine whether it was renewed or not. We hope ( talk) 16:10, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Re: excommunication--it's so hard to say because each faith has its own lines they consider to be "the last straw". What will get you excommunicated from one religion sometimes isn't a problem in another. We hope ( talk) 18:19, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Regarding this, the PROD was applied by 117.215.192.105 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS), who's been trolling a bunch of articles I wrote. They managed to get the article Cristina Pumplun, the missionary vicar of a big church in Amsterdam, deleted as well, but I'm getting that back. It was pure trolling, as Gene93k knows as well.

Hi Susun. As you were so helpful in expanding our list of red-linked women in leadership, I was wondering whether you would like to contribute to the Wikipedia:Wikipedia/WikiProject Women/Women in Red/Women in architecture list which I have posted on the Wikipedia:Meetup/Women in Red/3 page. With your interest and qualifications in women's history, you will no doubt be keen to add the names of historical figures. I have tended to add the names of living or recent contributors to the field. There's no rush with this.-- Ipigott ( talk) 14:14, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nicolasa Pradera, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Basque. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for the kind words. I do assure you that I'm not purposely trying to be difficult or tendentious — it's just that with the election campaign actively underway, we end up having to be especially hypervigilant and gimlet-eyed when it comes to new articles about candidates in that election. I'm not singling her out, as I've also listed several other articles about candidates for all three major Canadian political parties at around the same time — and frankly, if I lived in North Bay she is the candidate I'd probably be voting for next month. Thanks again. Bearcat ( talk) 18:30, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Always happy to be of help. I've taken a look at your article and tweaked some categories. I added a couple and removed the one for Oread Institute alumni - I looked at the article for the institute and frankly think there aren't likely to be enough alumni with articles to make creating a category worthwhile. (Though this can, of course, always be changed.)
For the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame: there is no category, but there is a footer template. I did a little nosing around, and I don't think there are categories for members of any of the women's halls of fame in the US. Now, one can certainly be created, but I suspect the argument will be, generally, that the footer does a better job of organizing articles than a category would. What say you? I'll add the footer to the article now.
Keep up the good work, and happy editing! -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 16:52, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Susun, I am absolutely amazed at the huge number of interesting new articles you've created over the past ten months. I simply don't know how you manage to carry out all that research and package it up in Wikipedia code so quickly. The reason I was looking at the articles you have been creating is that I've included the last few on women architects under "Outcomes" on Wikipedia:Meetup/Women_in_Red/3. I think they deserve to be there as they were on the list we have been preparing together. And you seem to be the only one who has started to contribute seriously. Keep up the good work!-- Ipigott ( talk) 14:53, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi! I'm glad you hopped in on my talk page. Yesterday I was super tired and all the fight was out of me. I really felt like it would be better to merge than to fight... also I didn't feel very confident about my article since she was difficult to source and I had to use some "iffy" (alternative artsy) sources. Honestly, it felt like I was going to get into a battle that would be tough to support and I thought if I merged, I could preserve the fact that she was the driving force behind FOOD... that said, it sounds like maybe I should "woman up" and think twice about merging... What's your take?
I've been so tired because I'm setting up a Makerspace for my library and I'm the only one who can configure the 3d printers, Macs, audio equipment and all of the tech (which I'm only an amateur at) is frying my brain. Driving home, I was seeing double! Anyway, thanks for your support, Susun! :) Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 14:39, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I thought it was fitting to create First Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance while in the capitol, and Second Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, Third Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, and Fourth Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance were easy enough to follow suit before I got too tired to do more. If you have access to the PD reference, you'll see there are a lot of international names associated with these conferences, and I assume at least some would meet WP:N. Who were these women and what brought them to these conferences? Women's suffrage is the short answer but I wonder what was the inspiration in their lives. We'll probably never know. I'll work on the ensuing conferences in the next couple of days. I don't really know that there's much more to do with these articles... mostly I just stopped by to let you know about them. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 11:39, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I'm glad you hopped in on my talk page. Yesterday I was super tired and all the fight was out of me. I really felt like it would be better to merge than to fight... also I didn't feel very confident about my article since she was difficult to source and I had to use some "iffy" (alternative artsy) sources. Honestly, it felt like I was going to get into a battle that would be tough to support and I thought if I merged, I could preserve the fact that she was the driving force behind FOOD... that said, it sounds like maybe I should "woman up" and think twice about merging... What's your take?
I've been so tired because I'm setting up a Makerspace for my library and I'm the only one who can configure the 3d printers, Macs, audio equipment and all of the tech (which I'm only an amateur at) is frying my brain. Driving home, I was seeing double! Anyway, thanks for your support, Susun! :) Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 14:39, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I thought it was fitting to create First Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance while in the capitol, and Second Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, Third Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, and Fourth Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance were easy enough to follow suit before I got too tired to do more. If you have access to the PD reference, you'll see there are a lot of international names associated with these conferences, and I assume at least some would meet WP:N. Who were these women and what brought them to these conferences? Women's suffrage is the short answer but I wonder what was the inspiration in their lives. We'll probably never know. I'll work on the ensuing conferences in the next couple of days. I don't really know that there's much more to do with these articles... mostly I just stopped by to let you know about them. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 11:39, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

I have boldly changed the DYK image to a larger colour one (the dormitory pic) - revert if you disagree, but I think it is more eye catching Victuallers ( talk) 11:57, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
On 13 October 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Emily Elizabeth Holman, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that E. E. Holman's gender was deliberately disguised to secure architectural contracts, like those for the National Park Seminary's Aloha Dormitory (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Emily Elizabeth Holman. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
