Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, Ambrosia10/Archive 1. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!

Deleting userpage content / drafts / sandboxes / etc.

Hey Ambrosia10. You were asking about how to get pages within your userspace removed, like sandboxes and drafts once their contents are moved to the article space. The way this works is basically by requesting a speedy deletion of that page by adding the following bit of text top:

{{Template:Db-u1}}

This produces a tag that looks like this at the top of the page, and is posted to a list of articles nominated speedy deletion, where any administrator can review it delete it. These are usually uncontroversial, so you would never be asked to explain yourself for the kinds of cases I described. Within a day or two, the page should be deleted. If you put it on a page by accident, you can simply undo it or remove it; if the page does get deleted accidentally, you can request it back here should you need it for any reason. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, I, JethroBT drop me a line 00:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Māori Resources?

By the way, one thing I wanted to ask you about was whether you might be aware of good sources by or about the Māori. Last year, I worked on a biography for Tuterei Karewa, a subject of numerous kinds of artwork, but found very little about him or his life. Any chance you know of sources (digitized or otherwise) that might be a good place to start looking for more information? I, JethroBT drop me a line 00:33, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Margaret Mary Butler, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Thomas O'Shea and Peter Fraser (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Ella Orr Campbell

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Ella Orr Campbell, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Template:Biography. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 03:31, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi-I moved the article into the Draft namespace while you work on it. I don't think that only the substed template should be in the main namespace. Origamiteⓣⓒ 03:33, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

About Ella Orr Campbell - a possible "WP:DYK"?

Kia ora, Ambrosia10,
I'm Peter in Australia aka "Shirt58". I can see you have had a somewhat unpleasant introduction to the Wikipedia project.
One of the articles you have created - Ella Orr Campbell - could appear on the English language Wikipedia's main page as a "Wikipedia:Did you know". The "DYK" process is somewhat convoluted - as are many things on this sometimes giant bureaucracy that is supposed to be WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY.
What do you think about this?
Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:51, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello again, Ambrosia10.
Yeah, the bureaucratic mindset around here is rather toxic to new contributors. And I say this as someone who wields the very tools of the 1984 "Inner Party".
"However I am very happy to raise the profile of women scientists and particular Dr Campbell. Would I have to do anything to assist the process?"
If I say "I'll look into it, and help you out where I can", I might fall into the same condescending/helpful things that blokes who try out and help out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women scientists.
Executive summary: just keep writing articles about women scientists, respond to constructive criticism, and don't give an airborne intercourse about anything else.
Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 12:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello Ambosio10, As a person interested in botany and horticulture (and biographies), I enjoyed reading your new article about Ella Orr Campbell. I added a couple of images of two of the key species and also made an inbound link to her article from the Equisetum arvense article. The images and link should support a nomination for DYK. Looking forward to more articles from you on botany and interesting women! Whiteghost.ink (talk) 00:13, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Lucy Beatrice Moore

Nice work in expanding this from a one line stub to an informative article. I've removed a parameter from one refernece as it dind't make sense. Was The Two Lucies the title of the lecture she gave and/or the chapter title in the book? If so that should use the parameter |chapter= not |author-link=, author-link is used when you want to link the refernece to the Wikipedia article on the author. Nthep (talk) 09:47, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your recent help on this article. As regards your query concerning the citation, I was attempting to include the title of the chapter in the book. The chapter is called "The Two Lucies." I'm unsure of whether this was also the title of Moore's lecture. As I was using the cite book template I'm now unsure how to add in this piece of information back into the citation appropriately. Sorry! I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to Wikipedia markup. Anyway, thanks again for your assistance. It was much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambrosia10 (talk • contribs) 10:00, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
No problem, I've added The Two Lucies as a chapter title. Don't apologise for being a beginner - we all were once :-) And wiki markup isn't necessarily the easiest at times. I still have to check a lot of syntax etc out when I'm editing and I've been around quite a long time. Nthep (talk) 11:08, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Have written to the Teahouse asking what I should do to solve this issue. My message "Ella_Orr_Campbell is a recent article that I've done the majority of work. It's has been flagged for copyright infringement. I don't think I have infringed copyright. There is little published works about this renowned New Zealand botanist and I created the article from the same sources used by JSTOR global plants. I have cited those sources as well as used my own words etc. I've created the article as a whole with a new structure gathering information from as wide a variety of sources as possible, citing appropriately as I go. Given JSTOR global plants, like I did, used the used the same references it is not surprising the article is similar although it is NOT a copy nor the same. I spent hours on it. How do I argue or address this issue? Ambrosia10 (talk) 17:16, 23 March 2015 (UTC)" Ambrosia10 (talk) 17:19, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Ambrosia10! Posting at the Teahouse is a good move, I hope you get some useful advice there. I've posted there and at Talk:Ella Orr Campbell to explain what the nature of the problem is. I'm afraid that, despite what you say, you have in fact infringed copyright. Four things:
  • Please make sure it doesn't happen again; everything you write in Wikipedia must (with a very few specific exceptions) be entirely in your own words
  • If you want to start on a rewrite of Ella Orr Campbell please feel free to do so – click the third of the three "Show" tags at middle right on the copyvio template covering the page to be taken to a new temporary page; please do not copy over any text to the new page unless you are 100% certain that you wrote it entirely yourself (copying the problem to the new page does not help to fix the problem!)
  • If you think there might be other articles where the same has happened (i.e., you have incorporated text from other places on the internet believing that to be acceptable), please identify them here; I am happy to help with cleaning those up too
  • Please don't be discouraged from editing. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:20, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Hard not to be discouraged. However have recently read this "Looking at the copyvio detector report it's clear that prior to the WP article being blanked there was close paraphrasing/copying in the "career" and "retirement" sections of the article from this Global Plants article. However, it is also clear that the article as a whole is not a mere copy-paste but includes well formatted references from half a dozen reliable source. I'm going to re-write the two offending paragraphs now, and then return the rest of the article content as it was before. OK? Wittylama 18:24, 23 March 2015 (UTC)" and am feeling slightly better about the situation.Ambrosia10 (talk) 18:32, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Ella Orr Campbell has been nominated for Did You Know

Amos Arthur Heller

It was Edward Strieby Steele who moved to Los Angeles in 1932, not Amos Arthur Heller (who lived in Chico during that period.) Steele's niece was Helen Steele Pratt (1883-1965.) Helen, who was known as 'the bird lady of Eagle Rock', was the daughter of Steele's sister Frances Cochran (Steele) Pratt. Nomen ambiguum (talk) 07:21, 18 May 2015 (UTC) 

- Whoops! Thanks for the correction! Will go back and ensure I've corrected anything I've edited. Sorry about the mistake. Should have ensured my notes were in two separate files rather than researching both women at once. Thanks again for correcting me, much appreciated.--Ambrosia10 (talk) 21:11, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
