Can you list all red links on the Intertranswiki page for starting, once that's done I can begin editing it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:55, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
I was just looking at your article on María Teresa Ferrari and noticed the red links for La Patria degli Italiani in Italy and El Diario Español in Spain. I'm not sure they are Italian and Spanish newspapers (despite what the book says quite clearly; I have to be awkward). If you do a search for "La Patria degli Italiani" you'll see it only seems to have existed as an Italian language newspaper in Buenos Aires (you'll have to read Italian for that; I couldn't see any English sources). The Spanish one seems to be the same; I can't find any evidence of a newspaper ever existing in Spain with that name and the footnote on page 39 of this book points to one existing in Buenos Aires from 1905 to 1946. I wonder if Alvarez and Carbonetti just took Italiano and Español to mean they were based in those countries instead of in those languages. Belle ( talk) 16:52, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello, SusunW. Zella Jackson Price, an article you either created or significantly contributed to, has been nominated to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as part of Did you know . You can see the hook and the discussion here. You are welcome to participate! Thank you. APersonBot ( talk!) 21:38, 13 August 2015 (UTC) |
On 14 August 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ángela Acuña Braun, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ángela Acuña Braun, first female Costa Rican attorney, served on both the Inter-American Commission of Women and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ángela Acuña Braun. 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. |

Can someone tell me how to insert an explanatory note? I have read about 16 pages of citations and cannot for the life of me find what I want. On Tinúm Municipality at citation 4 is the word "numtzutzuy". While it's just peachy to know that Tinúm means crippled numtzutzuy, I don't really think that tells anyone anything. Further research tells me that numtzutzuy is a plant and I typed what I know and the source in "Notes", but I have no idea how to put a reference marker behind (in front of?) the 4 to tell someone to look at the explanation below. I linked it to the latin name I found. SusunW ( talk) 16:35, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ben Molar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tania. 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.

Hi SusunW. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Sadads ( talk) 23:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

All levels of Wikipedia editing experience are welcome. RSVP and find more details →here← -- Ipigott ( talk) 09:34, 30 August 2015 (UTC) |

Hello!
First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)
Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej ( talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
I think this will have to be a non-free photo. The stamp dates from 1993 and I'd believe it's far too recent not to be under copyright. Was able to get to the Belize official government website, but the link to their National Archives given there, isn't working. The photo of her in uniform with no hat is definitely from the Belize National Archives-have a look at the full copy-at bottom right is the information for the National Archives. I see that the information here was taken from a copyrighted 1991 book MOTHERS OF MODERN BELIZE by the Belize National Women’s Commission. I can't find a copy of it at Google which lets me search, let alone view to see if the photo is in it.
If one could get to their National Archives, one could try determining when the photo was taken and published and something about their copyright laws. (We know they have them because the book above is copyrighted 1991.) What I can do is archive the photo with the Belize National Archives on it, make a nice copy and upload it as non free. How does that sound to you? We hope ( talk) 21:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
There have been all too many heated debates about stamps in various countries both here and at Commons. I tend to shy away from them because of that. Also, I think I'd rather see an actual photo of someone than a stamp image unless we're discussing the stamp itself--and sometimes you're not able to use a copy of that (the stamp) because of NFCC. :) We hope ( talk) 22:09, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I did some looking and found the photo on an additional website, but neither of them notes who took this picture. In order for them to be PD via USG, the photo has to be taken by someone who's working for the USG. Example-a soldier on duty takes a photo. Since he's working for the USG and was on duty at the time, this would qualify as PD-USG.
So I went to National Archives (NARA) to search through the photos of White House photographers. There's a copy of her infobox photo there because it was taken by the White House photographer during Clinton's administration. Absolutely nothing like this for Bush's term. Any news organization with proper credentials can go to photo opportunities and take photos for their company--and these would not be PD but under copyright by their respective employer.

I put some tags on it, but it was just because it seemed easier than making a separate set of notes. According to the review of her autobiography and some photos I've seen she was on crutches for the whole of the election campaign; also I'd consider putting the Spanish names for the parties etc in the parentheses alongside the abbreviations because Junta of National Reconstruction ( Spanish: Junta de Gobierno de Reconstrucción Nacional, JGRN) makes more sense than Junta of National Reconstruction (JGRN). Good work from some paltry sources though, Rosalía Arteaga next? Shouldn't take long. Belle ( talk) 00:22, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
