Eithne Strong

Ooh - thank you. I couldn't find those details in what I was looking at. Thanks for adding them. Which is odd when I look at the source..I thought I read that one - yet have no memory of some of what it says!! Did she become a secondary school teacher? And was she born in 25 or 23? I have seen both in sources.. But thanks for adding that and pointing me at the other source which I can hopefully use for other writers now too! 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 17:45, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh - and I know why I didn't add the detail from that source! I don't have access to it. Some of the detail was on another page and looked vaguely familiar but not all of it - that was why. I have no password. I tried searching for another author. So thanks for that again! 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 20:32, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Greetings again - did you see I left a bunch of notes referenced on the talk page. I haven't had the energy to work through them but they might be of use? Maybe you saw already. Anyway - User:Antiqueight/Eithne Strong Notes :-) ☕ Antiqueight ^chatter 19:35, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey Antiqueight No, I haven't had a chance to get to them yet. I saw the edits and gave it about an hour to see if the editor cleaned up the list (it was a mess). I just cleaned up those to keep it neat. -- LibraryGurl ( talk) 19:46, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

I saw your edits and only then saw the previous ones -I missed them before I think, probably when clearing my watchlist and not checking carefully enough first..I don't know who that editor is.. ☕ Antiqueight ^chatter 20:02, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Antiqueight - I do that all the time! -- LibraryGurl ( talk) 20:05, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Librarygurl, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Adam (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 18:35, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We'd like to invite you to participate in a user study closely related to SuggestBot. User:Another Article is seeking to understand more about the workflow and time commitment of contributors to the English Wikipedia. As part of this study you will occasionally be prompted to answer questions about your editing activity, and these questions should never take more than a minute or two to complete. The intended length of the study is two weeks, but your actual time commitment is totally up to you. If you would like to see more details you can read the project proposal at Research:Measuring editor time commitment and workflow (on meta), but if you are feeling bold and would like just like to sign up right now you can add the line importScript("User:Another_Article/workflowstudyclient.js"); to your common.js. Contact User:Another Article if you have any questions about this study!

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, Librarygurl. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. Mdann52 ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Drive-by page tagging

Hi. Please actually READ the template instructions for the refimprove tag, esp the bit at Template:Refimprove#When_to_use "Some editors understand this template to be redundant when it is used on articles clearly marked as stubs, since by definition stubs are unlikely to be well referenced." The article is a one-line stub. It has every bit of info sourced. And your summary of "Do not remove until you have added at least 3-4 sources" is nonsence. Show me the policy that clearly states it needs to have "3-4 sources". Oh, there isn't one. And last, but not least, you added back the generic stub tag to the article, when it already had the correct stub tag. Have a read of WP:CIR too before continuing with your tagging, which if it continues, will be viewed as disruption. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Precious bodily fluids} 19:43, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

You might consider content issue secondary to major issues like overlinking, but I don't. Why didn't you just adjust the part you had a problem with the first time around, or is hitting undo easier than actually putting the effort in? No wonder wikipedia gets criticised for it's small number of active editors if we can't even be bothered showing a little courtesy to those trying to contribute. -- 86.5.93.103 ( talk) 19:54, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4

Hello Librarygurl,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 811 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Librarygurl, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.

Technology update:

Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
- User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
- User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through

General project update:

Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project. To keep up to date on the most recent discussions you can add it to your watchlist or visit it periodically.

Hello Librarygurl, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

The new page backlog is currently at 16,991 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.

Technology update:

Rentier has created a NPP browser in WMF Labs that allows you to search new unreviewed pages using keywords and categories.

General project update:

The Wikimedia Foundation Community Tech team is working with the community to implement the autoconfirmed article creation trial. The trial is currently set to start on 7 September 2017, pending final approval of the technical features.
Please remember to focus on the quality of review: correct tagging of articles and not tagbombing are important. Searching for potential copyright violations is also important, and it can be aided by Earwig's Copyvio Detector, which can be added to your toolbar for ease of use with this user script.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Librarygurl, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!

Technology update:

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225

General project update:

On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.
To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.
