Rosie!
This is just wonderful. I've been wondering who the 6,000,000th author will be for a few months now. If you don't mind, The Signpost will give you a paragraph or 3 in News and notes, and maybe even a photo if it fits in well. If you like another photo better let me know. If you want to write a short paragraph for N&N that's ok too. Let me give you a question to work from: How does it feel to have written en-Wiki's 6,000,000th article?
Now if you look about 3 sections up, I'd previously sent you an invitation to suggest a "Most important article out of the last 1,000,000". Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Community view You are still invited to do that and if you want to include Maria Elise Turner Lauder that's ok too - "most important" here is meant to be completely subjective. Any other article would be fine as well.
If you read my draft intro to the Community view article, you may have noticed that I wrote about the METL article "but please recognize that this is not the most important new article since then." I obviously left out the word "necessarily" from the draft. I'd guess somebody else is likely to nominate it as "most important", but if you were to self-nominate it later, I'd replace any earlier nomination.

Hi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs! If we can get an extra prize for whoever improves the most British and Irish women bios and perhaps allow creations for that we can kill two birds with on stone ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:39, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I would like to create some kind of collaborative workspace where coordinators or members of various WikiProjects would gather and provide updates and information on what is going on at each wikiproject, i.e. regarding their latest efforts, projects, and where interested editors can get involved.
You are a coordinator at one of the most active WikiProkjects, so I wanted to get your brief input on whether you'd be interested in helping me to make this happen. I see a few possible options for making this happen, so I would like to get your input and feedback on this. which of the options below would you prefer? also, please reply to the brief questions below.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this idea, and please let me know your preference, regarding the options above. if you do not see any need for this idea, that is totally fine. However, I think that the majority of editors lack awareness of where the truly active editing is taking place and at which WikiProjects, and I would like to do whatever I can to help make people more aware of where the activity is, what they can do to help, and also which areas of Wikipedia offer ideas and efforts that might help them in their own editing activities. Please feel free to let me know. -- Sm8900 ( talk) 05:07, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Since you created this article, I wanted to make sure you are aware of the nom. I also have recently added a gallery for the article which I’m sure you will appreciate. I discovered there is a stained glass window in the UVA Chapel dedicated to her (she was instrumental in the creation of the chapel.) I contacted the university and they had one of their photogs go to the chapel and take pics of the window for me! Magnificent. Enjoy, and thank you again for creating this.

Hello Rosiestep, about two months ago you created the article Wil Velders-Vlasblom and in the edit summary you mentioned "translated from nl:Wil Velders-Vlasblom" (see [1]). At that moment the Dutch article had the sentence "Ze werd geboren als dochter van een koperslager en is opgegroeid in Rotterdam." According to Google Translate that means "She was born as the daughter of a butcher and grew up in Rotterdam." When you created that article you wrote "Her father was a butcher. She grew up in Rotterdam." That matches the output of Google Translate but it is incorrect. The word 'slager' can be translated into 'butcher' but a 'koperslager' is somebody who is processing metal like sheets of copper or brass and so. That is not the job of a butcher. Some 20 minutes later you did this edit changing "Her father was a butcher." into "Her father was a butcher at a shipyard." That looks weird and that information is still in that article! I will replace butcher by coppersmith. On your user page I see you mentioned your language skills for English as native level and Spanish, French and Serbian as intermediate level, but nothing about Dutch. So my guess is, you completely relied upon a computer translation for the sentence "Her father was a butcher." If so, I think it is better you stop using Dutch sources (including nl-wiki articles) for writing articles on the English Wikipedia. - Robotje ( talk) 10:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
We had a discussion earlier about your use of this template (search on "Internet Archive"):
I see you asked me a question in the previous thread and I never saw it. I actually have programs and scripts that can add this template in a semi-automated manner, though I have not run them in a long time as it is a lot of work to run. But adding live links that contain no content is not appropriate, it may never have content. If you want to monitor it, set up the templates in userspace and occasionally run down the list of links and check for changes. It may be convenient for you to add links with the supposition they might one day contain content, meanwhile wasting countless readers time chasing after empty content and giving Internet Archive a bad impression as a site that is not reliable for providing useful content. -- Green C 15:58, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Hey, stranger. I've gotten involved in the whole Covid-19/Coronavirus mess. There is a lot going on, and articles on Wikipedia are being created and edited very fast. I was curious if you had been monitoring any of it. Alaska had its first case detected yesterday (It was not I!) I got to see an example of panic buying today @ Juneau's Costco. I will probably remain involved in this issue on Wikipedia for a while. I am well, and I hope you are, too! Juneau Mike ( talk) 06:39, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Sorry to have involved you in discussions on these, Rosie. As you seem to be closely connected to developments in Wikidata, I thought you may have been involved in earlier discussions on these but now see you had little past experience. Nevertheless as a number of editors seem to be making a real effort to include them on all mainspace articles, it is perhaps worthwhile discussing the matter. I see, for example, that while you have not been including short descriptions in your new articles, you have been completing details on Wikidata, including the equivalent of the short description for each biography. As for me, I have been going back over my articles in batches, adding short descriptions where appropriate. I am however now rather doubtful about the usefulness of these. If descriptions already appear on Wikidata, is it really worthwhile adding them to articles? And if they are considered important to articles (e.g. for mobile users), why can't the Wikidata descriptions be automatically copied over to articles? I think it would be useful to develop some guidelines, especially for all our active Women in Red contributors. Given your involvement in Wikidata, perhaps you could try to get some feedback from others involved with these developments.-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:54, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Last day or two I've been following the Coronavirus news closely and it's a big demotivator. Makes you feel depressed with the situation. The exponential growth in cases is alarming. When the Desutbathon began there were just 35 cases in the UK, by yesterday there were nearly 10,000. Best to try to largely ignore the news and stay safe. Stay positive!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:49, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Good point, yes, a lot of people haven't taken it seriously. My point was if you spend too much time watching the news reports on it it's not a positive thing for your mind! Take it seriously, stay safe and avoid dwelling on it too much I was trying to say.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:18, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Doing some work and came across a few books by Janet Meisel. Small obituary there. Can you find enough for a starter article either of you? Or perhaps Megalibrarygirl can, more local for her.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:22, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Yes, when you come across an article it's important to start it or at least make a note of it. I only came across Janet in compiling sources and thought she might be somebody worth starting. It should at least be pleaced in the missing articles.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Six million articles is something to celebrate! (They even changed the website logo for it!) Being the person to create the six millionth article worth celebrating even more! — Gestrid ( talk) 03:00, 25 January 2020 (UTC) |

Hi Rosiestep, congratulations. Would you be willing to translate "What's making you happy this week?" into Serbian for inclusion in Wikimedia-l and The Signpost? Thanks, ↠Pine (✉) 21:14, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
...that #6M would most likely be an article about someone who had appeared in some vacuous reality show or other, or something like List of smallest mountains in Tibet. Well done for claiming the spot with an article worth reading! Narky Blert ( talk) 22:36, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Rosiestep, for starting the Wikipedia edit-a-thon at SPIE Photonics West. I will attempt to join in person, but if not, I will continue to improve the listed articles remotely, and add to the list. Quantumavik ( talk) 08:15, 31 January 2020 (UTC) |
Hi. Do you have and May you upload a free photo of Paulina Lebl-Albala for the article? -- Assayas ( talk) 17:11, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, just cleaning up a town in North Macedonia, only a 5 hr drive southeast of Belgrade! Thought you might like to add something, if not no worries. I had to chop some of it as I couldn't source it. That monastery to the southwest looks like it might be interesting..♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:15, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs! If we can get an extra prize for whoever improves the most British and Irish women bios and perhaps allow creations for that we can kill two birds with on stone ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:39, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I would like to create some kind of collaborative workspace where coordinators or members of various WikiProjects would gather and provide updates and information on what is going on at each wikiproject, i.e. regarding their latest efforts, projects, and where interested editors can get involved.
You are a coordinator at one of the most active WikiProkjects, so I wanted to get your brief input on whether you'd be interested in helping me to make this happen. I see a few possible options for making this happen, so I would like to get your input and feedback on this. which of the options below would you prefer? also, please reply to the brief questions below.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this idea, and please let me know your preference, regarding the options above. if you do not see any need for this idea, that is totally fine. However, I think that the majority of editors lack awareness of where the truly active editing is taking place and at which WikiProjects, and I would like to do whatever I can to help make people more aware of where the activity is, what they can do to help, and also which areas of Wikipedia offer ideas and efforts that might help them in their own editing activities. Please feel free to let me know. -- Sm8900 ( talk) 05:07, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
I Want To Become An Editor On Wikipedia Or I Want To Become Wikipedian. But Whenever I Make Any Article Or Something Else That Is Removing By Someone Else What Can I Do? Mhndynamic ( talk) 09:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
Since you created this article, I wanted to make sure you are aware of the nom. I also have recently added a gallery for the article which I’m sure you will appreciate. I discovered there is a stained glass window in the UVA Chapel dedicated to her (she was instrumental in the creation of the chapel.) I contacted the university and they had one of their photogs go to the chapel and take pics of the window for me! Magnificent. Enjoy, and thank you again for creating this.

Hello Rosiestep, about two months ago you created the article Wil Velders-Vlasblom and in the edit summary you mentioned "translated from nl:Wil Velders-Vlasblom" (see [1]). At that moment the Dutch article had the sentence "Ze werd geboren als dochter van een koperslager en is opgegroeid in Rotterdam." According to Google Translate that means "She was born as the daughter of a butcher and grew up in Rotterdam." When you created that article you wrote "Her father was a butcher. She grew up in Rotterdam." That matches the output of Google Translate but it is incorrect. The word 'slager' can be translated into 'butcher' but a 'koperslager' is somebody who is processing metal like sheets of copper or brass and so. That is not the job of a butcher. Some 20 minutes later you did this edit changing "Her father was a butcher." into "Her father was a butcher at a shipyard." That looks weird and that information is still in that article! I will replace butcher by coppersmith. On your user page I see you mentioned your language skills for English as native level and Spanish, French and Serbian as intermediate level, but nothing about Dutch. So my guess is, you completely relied upon a computer translation for the sentence "Her father was a butcher." If so, I think it is better you stop using Dutch sources (including nl-wiki articles) for writing articles on the English Wikipedia. - Robotje ( talk) 10:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
We had a discussion earlier about your use of this template (search on "Internet Archive"):
I see you asked me a question in the previous thread and I never saw it. I actually have programs and scripts that can add this template in a semi-automated manner, though I have not run them in a long time as it is a lot of work to run. But adding live links that contain no content is not appropriate, it may never have content. If you want to monitor it, set up the templates in userspace and occasionally run down the list of links and check for changes. It may be convenient for you to add links with the supposition they might one day contain content, meanwhile wasting countless readers time chasing after empty content and giving Internet Archive a bad impression as a site that is not reliable for providing useful content. -- Green C 15:58, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Hey, stranger. I've gotten involved in the whole Covid-19/Coronavirus mess. There is a lot going on, and articles on Wikipedia are being created and edited very fast. I was curious if you had been monitoring any of it. Alaska had its first case detected yesterday (It was not I!) I got to see an example of panic buying today @ Juneau's Costco. I will probably remain involved in this issue on Wikipedia for a while. I am well, and I hope you are, too! Juneau Mike ( talk) 06:39, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Sorry to have involved you in discussions on these, Rosie. As you seem to be closely connected to developments in Wikidata, I thought you may have been involved in earlier discussions on these but now see you had little past experience. Nevertheless as a number of editors seem to be making a real effort to include them on all mainspace articles, it is perhaps worthwhile discussing the matter. I see, for example, that while you have not been including short descriptions in your new articles, you have been completing details on Wikidata, including the equivalent of the short description for each biography. As for me, I have been going back over my articles in batches, adding short descriptions where appropriate. I am however now rather doubtful about the usefulness of these. If descriptions already appear on Wikidata, is it really worthwhile adding them to articles? And if they are considered important to articles (e.g. for mobile users), why can't the Wikidata descriptions be automatically copied over to articles? I think it would be useful to develop some guidelines, especially for all our active Women in Red contributors. Given your involvement in Wikidata, perhaps you could try to get some feedback from others involved with these developments.-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:54, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Robert McClenon. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Evelyn Campbell (actress), and have marked it as unpatrolled. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi, I moved your articles to the bottom of the list, give Susun the first one on Leap Year day haha!! Thanks so much.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:52, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
Last day or two I've been following the Coronavirus news closely and it's a big demotivator. Makes you feel depressed with the situation. The exponential growth in cases is alarming. When the Desutbathon began there were just 35 cases in the UK, by yesterday there were nearly 10,000. Best to try to largely ignore the news and stay safe. Stay positive!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:49, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Good point, yes, a lot of people haven't taken it seriously. My point was if you spend too much time watching the news reports on it it's not a positive thing for your mind! Take it seriously, stay safe and avoid dwelling on it too much I was trying to say.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:18, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Doing some work and came across a few books by Janet Meisel. Small obituary there. Can you find enough for a starter article either of you? Or perhaps Megalibrarygirl can, more local for her.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:22, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Yes, when you come across an article it's important to start it or at least make a note of it. I only came across Janet in compiling sources and thought she might be somebody worth starting. It should at least be pleaced in the missing articles.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Cool! Thankyou! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:12, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
