Gandhi

edit

I was astonished to see how you piped a link from Indira Gandhi to make it read Indira Ghandi. Did you really think that Gandhi was a misspelling? Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 22:08, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sorry poor eyesight. Feel free to unlink it. Kaybeesquared (talk) 08:11, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Florence Nightingale

edit

Hi, and thank you for the thank yous regarding my edits to Florence Nightingale. I notice that, of the nine "Primary sources," only Goldie and McDonald might be viewed as primary sources; the rest should be moved to "Secondary sources," except that Bostrich, Gill, and Strachey are included as both Primary sources and Secondary sources, and should be only the latter. I'll make these edits unless you care to.Maurice Magnus (talk) 11:22, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for this and please will you proceed as you have suggested, I think it is one of the few pages I view regularly where these lists are clearly set up for ease of readers' understanding, though some use 'publications' sections - if it is the subject's own work - only - of course.
Thank you. Kaybeesquared (talk) 16:26, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Happy New Year

The Kenney sisters

edit

Is there any reason, apart from bone idleness, why the famous five should not be dealt with in one article?

A lot of material - parents - eleven of 12 - Lees, Saddleworth - 71 Redgrave Street, Oldham - cotton mill - WSPU - Blathwayt - Eagle House - &c. - is pentuplicated. A combined article would not be as long as the sum of individual lengths suggests.

81.140.215.185 (talk) 20:01, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please would you log in if using opportunity to discuss? There is a case for the most notable Kenney sisters to have their own articles imho. It is not idleness to have included common data, although it could be reworded into different language in each article to avoid an argument of it is N-uplicated, but the others arose as more material emerged about their activities. A Kenney Family article with the common biog info. only /mainly could be drafted up without losing entirely the useful individual articles for those who were most to the fore in the UK suffragette movement, imho. Happy to help. Kaybeesquared (talk) 20:45, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Preet Chandi

edit

On 24 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Preet Chandi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Preet Chandi, the first known woman of colour to walk solo to the South Pole, contacted friends to be bridesmaids during her expedition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Preet Chandi. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Preet Chandi), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

A barnstar for you!

  The Teamwork Barnstar
Hi Karen - a Teamwork Barnstar for you, for helping me find the barnstar file - many thanks! Emcee47 (talk) 14:51, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Kaybeesquared, Hope you are well. I noticed you made some edits to the IOD's page and I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping me with a project relating to one of their former directors. Charlotte Valuer was the chair of the IOD (2018 to 2020) and founded a charity called "Board Appreitnce" which aims to end inequality in the boardroom by giving the next generation of business leaders experience on company boards. I'd written up the page and had ago referencing a draft of the page (it's in my sandbox) but I'm struggling with the referencing. Do you have the capacity to take a look at it and help me get it up to scratch or point me to where I'm going wrong? m https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:MIAAccount/sandbox&redirect=no Thanks so much MIAAccount (talk) 15:03, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @MIAAccount. Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately I don't have capacity at the moment, but comparing your Charlotte Valuer article draft with the Board Apprentice draft shows that the latter is relying on and repeating the org's own web etc (primary source, is not independent of the subject). Quick Google shows a few secondary sources, and also some 'rival'/ 'similar' orgs. You could write about board room apprenticeships in the round and reference these schemes,too and cite any independent debate in the more reputable business press or academia.

Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time. Obviously any COI needs resolved/declared for the person to publish it. Best wishes, Kaybeesquared (talk) 19:09, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Helen Nicolson (child psychiatrist)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Talk:Helen Nicolson (child psychiatrist), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. jp×g 04:38, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Alexandra Bulat

edit

Hey,

I was just wondering why you spend so much time on editing the article for Alex Bulat, was it part of your Women in Red editathons? ~~ Kind Regards, NotAnotherNameGuy (talk) 12:13, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

yes it was part of WomenInRed project work. And then aimed to improve original (written in an editathon) when notability was questioned. Any further information to improve the article is welcome. Thanks.

brief history of activities - so I don't forget

My example citation[edit | edit source]

edit

I read an interesting article in the Guardian site.

I have used the 2018 book from Diane Atkinson on a number of Suffragettes pages to add detail and citations.

So I then learned about the remarkable lives of the suffragettes, and updating their wiki-pages.

On 19 December 2019, Did you know ... Louie Cullen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status..... Her Holloway medal is in Australia where she went after suffering from force-feeding for women's right to vote
