Thank you for the information and the review of the Esther Shephard article. I actually did do the Wikipedia Adventure last year, when I first started editing. It's a fun way to learn about editing. Treesiati (talk) 15:57, 10 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Women in Red

edit

Hi there, Treesiati, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have just created an interesting biography of Lettice D'Oyly Walters and are now keen to continue covering writers and artists. I think you will find answers to your queries in our Primer for creating women's biographies or in our other Essays. Rather than creating new articles in your sandbox, you can create them in your user space as "User:Treesiati/article name" and move them to article space when they are ready. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:39, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the welcome, @Ipigott. I'm learning . . . I'll let you know if I have questions. Take care, Treesiati (talk) 14:30, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Esther Shephard

edit

On 19 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Esther Shephard, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American folklorist Esther Shephard collected tall tales from logging camps in the state of Washington to complete her 1924 book about Paul Bunyan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Esther Shephard. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Esther Shephard), 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.

DYK for Ruth Scott Miller

edit

On 31 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ruth Scott Miller, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ruth Scott Miller, the first female music critic for the Chicago Tribune, said she was hired to "write for the masses and not for 'four or five thousand freak music lovers'"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ruth Scott Miller. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ruth Scott Miller), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

influential women in culture

Thank you for quality articles about women who change culture, such as Ruth Scott Miller, Esther Shephard, Queenie Scott-Hopper and Margaret Olive Milne-Redhead, based on research of early twentieth-century literature and visual arts, for expanding articles, for a focus on article writing alone, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2838 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

edit
  Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

Replaceable non-free use File:Dedications by Janet Hilton album cover.jpeg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Dedications by Janet Hilton album cover.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 19:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
