Ida Wells

edit

Baghaii, I noticed your recent removal of an image of Ida Wells from Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists/Recognized content. Your edit summary is correct - the list is bot-generated so the image will come back. The way to remove it for good is to take the Wikiproject Women Scientists banner from the talk page for the image. However, in the article lead she is called a sociologist, so this claim needs to be considered. The article does not provide any support for this claim, but I did a search and The Women Founders: Sociology and Social Theory 1830–1930 gives pretty strong support for this claim. I'm going to add it as a citation. So, on the whole, I'd recommend that you undo your change. RockMagnetist(talk) 21:48, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

That is interesting, I tend to read the concept of science fairly narrowly excluding things like sociology and economics. Are there other people in sociology included on the page? Does the page specify what topics are included and excluded as sciences? I am currently reading a biography of Wells, and she is primarily a journalist and a teacher. I did roll back the changes as you suggested though. There is not an article for Wells listed on that page even though her picture is there. That seems inconsistent. Thank you for letting me know how to remove the images included by bots permanently.Sepideh (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sociology isn't a hard science like physics, but along with economics it's one of the social sciences. If by "that page" you mean Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists/Recognized content, that's for featured articles, good articles, etc. Ida Wells doesn't qualify because it is only a C-class article, but the image is a featured picture. See Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment for more on quality assessment. RockMagnetist(talk) 22:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
I am finally getting to the part of the book that discusses sociology. Basically she was keeping track of the numbers of lynchings, the race of the accused, and what crimes they had been accused of. Thanks for teaching me how to be better a better Wikipedia editor. Sepideh (talk) 20:02, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jane Fawcett, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Enigma. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
