thank you today for the article, introduced: "A return to FAC after a year away. Where does it go, etc. But here's a thing that was brought to GA by the thorough review of T. Riley, of this parish, and should be ready for the next stage. Another—if slightly later—medieval parliament—the King wanted money, both lords and commons refused until he got rid of a few scroungers, he refused, and all hell burst out. Hey, parliament was nearly invited for dinner and poisoned by the King, how's that for a healthy political relationship?"! - Sorry, I missed the FAC, meant to go ... -- Happy 2022!

my story today |
Thank you today for John Hastings, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, introduced: "A joint nomination between myself and Gog on one of the many curious individuals populating late-medieval England. This chap starts off as a bit of an arse, frankly—a plutocrat forced to work with men of greater ability though less lineage, and who clearly can't decide whether he prefers fighting the French or cutting off relatives, as he spends his time doing both in almost equal portions. But—but—whose story ends with, really, some poignancy. This started off with me piling in my editorial size nine boots some years ago, throwing in everything I had on him, following which it was reviewed for GA by Iazyges of this parish (shout out!). More recently Gog has shown me how it's done—as usual—with a fantastic copy edit."! - I'm still curious about the question above. I like to see the ice age of the "infobox wars" melting, and wonder if you see the same. - My stories on the Main page today are about Johanna Geisler and Huub Oosterhuis. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 05:59, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Serial, Thanks very much for taking the time for the review of Adamson Tannehill!! I will take a good look and get back to you when I've addressed all your comments or until I stop because of a question (if okay). I'll say up front that I had a lot of trouble with the military chronology myself. His military service overlaps with most of his civic/political service, so I had to decide whether to go strictly by chronologic order or as I did and mix military with civic a little. I'll try to mix it a little, but it may also sound disjointed. Also, just quickly, the U.S. military style of using rank before a name is to use an abbreviation before his/her full name vs. using a full expansion of the rank spelling before only the surname. For example, Capt. John F. Robinson vs. Captain Robinson. Does this follow the MOS? Again, many thanks! Tfhentz ( talk) 14:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi -- I thought I'd take this here rather than WT:FAC, though we can move it back there if you feel that's more appropriate. I'm sorry to say I'm really not sure what I said that came across as a put-down -- do you mean the comments about length of service? If so it really wasn't meant that way, and I can comment there to that effect if you'd like me to. I just meant that David is a strong candidate because he's been around (and around FAC) for a long time, so those of us who have also been around a long time have had more opportunity to get to know his editing. It certainly wasn't meant to downgrade the concerns of anyone who has been here a shorter time, or to imply any kind of seniority effect. I'm happy to apologize for any aspersion you saw in my comments -- I hope you can believe it was careless phrasing on my part rather than bad intent.
Re transparency -- I think there are pros and cons and would probably not oppose if there was a consensus in that direction -- but I think your comment on that was more general, and not really directed at me? Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 16:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

I was recording the apparent stance of editors of the Gilbert and Sullivan project on infoboxes to make a case about systemic bias on the project as almost all active users don’t seem terribly fond of infoboxes. Even if you disagree with the categorization that hardly constitutes an “attack”, especially in comparison with Cassianto comparing me to the Schutzstaffel.

Hi Serial,
I took your advice to edit the page to add the views of scholars on the definitions they use for what a Black and Tan actually is without waiting for Leabharlanna Éireann. This went down like, well, a request for a pint of black and tan at a SF Ardfheis.
I'm not getting much sense at the talk page, so I wondered if you could have a look and see if anything I've added looks unbalanced, and maybe edit it if it does.
All the best for the New Year. Boynamedsue ( talk) 10:54, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima ( submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Hi, I welcome the tidying up exercise you have just done. I need to ask if it is ok to amend my initial oppose to provide the more detailed policy references I have made in one of the hatted sections? The user concerned is relatively new and an obviously enthusiastic football only editor. I have encouraged him to look at the previous "no change" rationales and wider perspective but I'm not convinced he has done so. For the benefit of ensuring visibility of the associated policy / guidelines for other contributors to this RN, can I move the relevant text currently under the final hidden section to my original "O"? Advice appreciated, please. Leaky caldron ( talk) 16:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

FYI, I think you misunderstood my close (in which case I may not have written it clearly enough). I did not intend to imply that there was no consensus for anything - in fact, I saw a rough consensus to admonish Nihonjoe and remind all editors of our policies on COI editing. My closing note was intended to *be* that admonishment. When I wrote, "There is no consensus for any further action here", I meant action beyond admonishment. — Ganesha811 ( talk) 17:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

@ Serial Number 54129 I hope you will be less aggressive and as kind and respectful in your comments to a middle school boy like me in future. I assume good faith and favour the retention of the article Where is Kate? for the longer term. In any case, it was I who brought her article to GA status and also garnered more views for her hook than any other in January, coinciding with her 42nd birthday. Regards MSincccc ( talk) 17:03, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Absolutely, IgnatiusofLondon, and thanks for pointing that out—pretty bland!—or the deboulding that went with it, a purely stylistic alteration which neither refactored MSincccc's words nor attacked his views. Curious, and verging on the aspersive. ——Serial Number 54129 12:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi! May I kindly ask you what happened to my DYK-nom? CeeGee 07:38, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Order of Brothelyngham, introduced:
Serial Number 54129, if you don't want to review this nomination, please let Serial Number 54129 know on the nomination template; they seem to be ready to step aside in your favor after your post there, but I think they're waiting for you to say yes or no, which is delaying what is now one of the oldest unapproved DYK nominations (two months minus one day). Thank you very much. BlueMoonset ( talk) 01:19, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Absolutely terrific stuff. Well done! DBaK ( talk) 08:17, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 11:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Serial Number 54129,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Regarding your Daily Worker request, TrangaBellam is a valuable Wikipedian, but sometimes over promisses on resource requests. They also have a history of being uncommunicative there. Alas, I don't have ready access to the source.
Regarding your Index request, I find your response to Doc Taxon a little difficult to understand. Are you saying you still need to know what pages are listed for "Green, Henrietta" in the book's index (if it has one), excluding pages in the "Food and produce" section (which she wrote), because you suspect the other authors have discussed her somewhere else in the book?
Good Luck! -- Worldbruce ( talk) 15:07, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

my story today |
Thank you today for John Hastings, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, introduced: "A joint nomination between myself and Gog on one of the many curious individuals populating late-medieval England. This chap starts off as a bit of an arse, frankly—a plutocrat forced to work with men of greater ability though less lineage, and who clearly can't decide whether he prefers fighting the French or cutting off relatives, as he spends his time doing both in almost equal portions. But—but—whose story ends with, really, some poignancy. This started off with me piling in my editorial size nine boots some years ago, throwing in everything I had on him, following which it was reviewed for GA by Iazyges of this parish (shout out!). More recently Gog has shown me how it's done—as usual—with a fantastic copy edit."! - I'm still curious about the question above.

Hello Serial, Thanks very much for taking the time for the review of Adamson Tannehill!! I will take a good look and get back to you when I've addressed all your comments or until I stop because of a question (if okay). I'll say up front that I had a lot of trouble with the military chronology myself. His military service overlaps with most of his civic/political service, so I had to decide whether to go strictly by chronologic order or as I did and mix military with civic a little. I'll try to mix it a little, but it may also sound disjointed. Also, just quickly, the U.S. military style of using rank before a name is to use an abbreviation before his/her full name vs. using a full expansion of the rank spelling before only the surname. For example, Capt. John F. Robinson vs. Captain Robinson. Does this follow the MOS? Again, many thanks! Tfhentz ( talk) 14:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi -- I thought I'd take this here rather than WT:FAC, though we can move it back there if you feel that's more appropriate. I'm sorry to say I'm really not sure what I said that came across as a put-down -- do you mean the comments about length of service? If so it really wasn't meant that way, and I can comment there to that effect if you'd like me to. I just meant that David is a strong candidate because he's been around (and around FAC) for a long time, so those of us who have also been around a long time have had more opportunity to get to know his editing. It certainly wasn't meant to downgrade the concerns of anyone who has been here a shorter time, or to imply any kind of seniority effect. I'm happy to apologize for any aspersion you saw in my comments -- I hope you can believe it was careless phrasing on my part rather than bad intent.
Re transparency -- I think there are pros and cons and would probably not oppose if there was a consensus in that direction -- but I think your comment on that was more general, and not really directed at me? Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 16:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

I was recording the apparent stance of editors of the Gilbert and Sullivan project on infoboxes to make a case about systemic bias on the project as almost all active users don’t seem terribly fond of infoboxes.

Hi Serial,
I took your advice to edit the page to add the views of scholars on the definitions they use for what a Black and Tan actually is without waiting for Leabharlanna Éireann. This went down like, well, a request for a pint of black and tan at a SF Ardfheis.
I'm not getting much sense at the talk page, so I wondered if you could have a look and see if anything I've added looks unbalanced, and maybe edit it if it does.

I encourage you to strike your description of a good faith editor's comments or religious values as "divisive and exclusionary superstition" found here. I believe it attacks a living person. I also strongly disagree with the rest of your comment (and am an atheist) but I believe you are entitled to express an opinion about how RfA should work. — Bilorv ( talk) 18:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima ( submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Hi, I welcome the tidying up exercise you have just done. I need to ask if it is ok to amend my initial oppose to provide the more detailed policy references I have made in one of the hatted sections? The user concerned is relatively new and an obviously enthusiastic football only editor. I have encouraged him to look at the previous "no change" rationales and wider perspective but I'm not convinced he has done so. For the benefit of ensuring visibility of the associated policy / guidelines for other contributors to this RN, can I move the relevant text currently under the final hidden section to my original "O"? Advice appreciated, please. Leaky caldron ( talk) 16:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Serial Number 54129 @ Leaky caldron I accept that there is consensus opposing the move, so I will stop requesting it. Thanks fir your advice and contributions; kind regards 14 novembre ( talk) 18:18, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
FYI, I think you misunderstood my close (in which case I may not have written it clearly enough). I did not intend to imply that there was no consensus for anything - in fact, I saw a rough consensus to admonish Nihonjoe and remind all editors of our policies on COI editing. My closing note was intended to *be* that admonishment. When I wrote, "There is no consensus for any further action here", I meant action beyond admonishment. — Ganesha811 ( talk) 17:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

@ Serial Number 54129 I hope you will be less aggressive and as kind and respectful in your comments to a middle school boy like me in future. I assume good faith and favour the retention of the article Where is Kate? for the longer term. In any case, it was I who brought her article to GA status and also garnered more views for her hook than any other in January, coinciding with her 42nd birthday. Regards MSincccc ( talk) 17:03, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Absolutely, IgnatiusofLondon, and thanks for pointing that out—pretty bland!—or the deboulding that went with it, a purely stylistic alteration which neither refactored MSincccc's words nor attacked his views. Curious, and verging on the aspersive. ——Serial Number 54129 12:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Order of Brothelyngham, introduced:
Serial Number 54129, if you don't want to review this nomination, please let Serial Number 54129 know on the nomination template; they seem to be ready to step aside in your favor after your post there, but I think they're waiting for you to say yes or no, which is delaying what is now one of the oldest unapproved DYK nominations (two months minus one day). Thank you very much. BlueMoonset ( talk) 01:19, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Absolutely terrific stuff. Well done! DBaK ( talk) 08:17, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 11:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Serial Number 54129,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

On 3 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tommy Wood (International Brigades), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Irish International Brigader Tommy Wood had only been in Spain for 18 days when he was killed at the Battle of Lopera during the Spanish Civil War? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tommy Wood (International Brigades). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Tommy Wood (International Brigades)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

We are approaching the end of the 2024 WikiCup's second round, with a little over two weeks remaining. Currently, contestants must score at least 105 points to progress to the third round.
Our current top scorers are as follows:
Competitors may submit work for the second round until the end of 28 April, and the third round starts 1 May. Remember that only competitors with the top 32 scores will make it through to the third round. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs. As a reminder, competitors are strictly prohibited from gaming Wikipedia policies or processes to receive more points.

Regarding your Daily Worker request, TrangaBellam is a valuable Wikipedian, but sometimes over promisses on resource requests. They also have a history of being uncommunicative there. Alas, I don't have ready access to the source.
Regarding your Index request, I find your response to Doc Taxon a little difficult to understand. Are you saying you still need to know what pages are listed for "Green, Henrietta" in the book's index (if it has one), excluding pages in the "Food and produce" section (which she wrote), because you suspect the other authors have discussed her somewhere else in the book?
