:::Hi {{reply|Nizil Shah}}...yes a [[Storm Dennis#United Kingdom|storm in the UK]]. Sadly, many homes have flooded. I am ok, just few fallen trees and some missing wildlife. I usually hear owls and woodpeckers, but not anymore. It has also meant that I have missed some meet-ups. Don't mind the confusion above..some of it is just cheerful encouragement. I will look at the article you have suggested. It is also encouraging that you feel I can make it better. Have a lovely day.

:::{{replyto|Nizil Shah}} There have been two storms in the UK recently, [[Storm Ciara]] was over the weekend that Whispyhistory bought an umbrella in Oxford, whilst [[Storm Dennis]] was the following weekend.

==Interest in email interview for Wikimedia Women’s History Month initiative?==
Hi Whispyhistory, I’m writing from the Communications team at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that operates Wikipedia. Earlier this March, we launched a global initiative for Women’s History Month called #WikiHerStory to raise awareness of Wikipedia’s gender gap, share opportunities for people to participate in projects that are helping close the gap, and showcase our inspiring network of women volunteers. Given your contributions to articles about COVID-19, we thought you’d be a great candidate for an email interview. If this is something you’d be interested in, please email me: asvitak at wikimedia dot org. We’re hoping to confirm participation as soon as possible this week.

::::{{u|Philafrenzy}} {{u|Edwardx}}...while we are so thankful, can I ask if I should feel responsible or obliged to tidy an article (has many tags etc) that is linked in a hook of a dyk that is due out in next few days? [[User:Whispyhistory|Whispyhistory]] ([[User talk:Whispyhistory#top|talk]]) 13:13, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::No, unless it is the subject of the nomination or "your" article. [[User:Philafrenzy|Philafrenzy]] ([[User talk:Philafrenzy|talk]]) 13:56, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::Agreed. There are so many articles on here that are a mess - best not to spread oneself too thinly. Personally, I find that looking after the articles I have created or contributed significantly to is already taking up too much of my wiki time. [[User:Edwardx|Edwardx]] ([[User talk:Edwardx|talk]]) 20:41, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::Hey {{u|Edwardx}} sorry ...long day...you are right... I'll re-look, my heart is saying I should check it out but I don't think I have the intellect to tackle it. Will have a read around and decide. I have a list of messes I wish I could fix. [[User:Whispyhistory|Whispyhistory]] ([[User talk:Whispyhistory#top|talk]]) 20:19, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

::::::::Neither of those two look too bad. As I'm sure you know, many Indian BLPs leave a lot to be desired. I try to avoid them. Even when you fix them up, IP editors keep messing around with them. [[Aggrey Burke]] looks worth starting. [[User:Edwardx|Edwardx]] ([[User talk:Edwardx|talk]]) 22:46, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::Did short summary. Added Burke to do list unless either of you want to stub and I'll expand later. [[User:Whispyhistory|Whispyhistory]] ([[User talk:Whispyhistory#top|talk]]) 05:49, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::::::{{reply|Edwardx}}... you are prob. right...I thought the same until I discovered the Black Panther and Who wants to be a Millionaire. I think this one is different; their lyrics are really quite exceptional. Always wondered if they ever realised who wrote about them...maybe they would not approve...anyway, done now. [[User:Whispyhistory|Whispyhistory]] ([[User talk:Whispyhistory#top|talk]]) 19:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::The default position is to write about what you know, but frankly, after one's first 100 new articles, you may as well write about what you find interesting and would like to know more about. It's a bit like attending a lecture and making notes in the hope that some of it may stick in the mind a bit longer. And you get to share your jottings with the world. [[Aggrey Burke]] was well worth starting - thanks for encouraging me. 1060 characters already, so not much more to go, and a great BLM DYK in prospect. [[User:Edwardx|Edwardx]] ([[User talk:Edwardx|talk]]) 21:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::::::::{{reply|Edwardx}}... I don't know how I missed your message above. Thanks for your encouragement too. There is a lot more to Burke eg. his views on categorising people, but I can't compose it yet. Feel free to make alternate hooks ({{U|Philafrenzy}}). fyi...I worked at that hospital in Mona too so brought back some memories. [[User:Whispyhistory|Whispyhistory]] ([[User talk:Whispyhistory#top|talk]]) 20:23, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::That was its heyday. [[User:Philafrenzy|Philafrenzy]] ([[User talk:Philafrenzy|talk]]) 08:23, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::::::::: No problem, I should have put {{u|Whispyhistory}} or something, to alert you. After all, it's not your talkpage! The Burke article makes for fascinating reading. Keep up the good work. [[User:Edwardx|Edwardx]] ([[User talk:Edwardx|talk]]) 22:15, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::::::::: Oops - it is YOUR talkpage. Don't know how I missed THAT. [[User:Edwardx|Edwardx]] ([[User talk:Edwardx|talk]]) 22:17, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

So, regarding [[User talk:Philafrenzy/Archive 35#house keeping]] option 2, see [[User:Redrose64/Sandbox14]] (which shows my DYKs) - would you prefer your DYKs to be arranged like the horizontal or vertical formats?

== Invitation to participate in Vaccine Safety Edit-a-thon ==

Hope you are safe during these tough times. I am writing to invite you to participate in the pilot Vaccine Safety Edit-a-thon conducted by Wikimedia DC. The edit-a-thon is invite only, and will be attended by a few experts working in the member organizations of [https://www.vaccinesafetynet.org/ Vaccine Safety Net], as well as a few Wikipedia editors interested in medicine. I am writing to you because you are an experienced editor who has contributed significantly to medicine and healthcare related articles. 

The goal of the edit-a-thon is to improve [[Wikipedia:Vaccine safety|vaccine safety]] related information on Wikipedia.There will be a total of around 20 participants in this pilot edit-a-thon. This is an online edit-a-thon scheduled for Friday, 28 August, 10 am -12:30 pm ET/ 7:30-10:00 pm IST/ 4-6:30 pm CEST. After this pilot event, we hope to have a series of online events for the general public. Please let me know if you are interested in participating in this edit-a-thon. More details about the edit-a-thon will be updated on [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Vaccine_initiative_pilot_editing_event|this page]].

Looking forward to your participation at the event! --[[User:Netha Hussain (WikiCred)|Netha Hussain (WikiCred)]] ([[User talk:Netha Hussain (WikiCred)|talk]]) 13:56, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I had the privilege of being featured on a [https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/women-reliable-covid19-information-wikipedia-f1f9255c3672 medium post] with you surrounding women writing about COVID-19 earlier this year, but I could not yet meet you personally. I am very sure that your participation will be valuable for the edit-a-thon, given your expertise in many aspects of medicine, including history of medicine. I can share more details about the edit-a-thon over e-mail, if that is your preferred means for communication. If that is not comfortable for you, I will share the updates on your talk page here. Please do sign in on the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Vaccine_initiative_pilot_editing_event|event page]] here so that the organizers are able to keep track of the number of participants!

== GA review?  ==

Hi Whispy, I wonder whether GA review is a thing that you do? I'll come straight out with it - I'm incredibly impatient, but I'm also thinking that come September the new term will limit my Wiki time. I've written an article that has had an informal going over by a couple of FA regulars, I hope it ought to be a fairly easy GA review, but of course you would need to satisfy yourself that it meets the standards - I'm not looking for a rubber-stamp review. If you're interestes, see [[Rusco Tower]]; if this isn't your thing, no worries. Cheers [[User:Girth Summit|<span style="font-family:Impact;color:#294;">Girth</span><span style="font-family:Impact;color:#42c;">Summit</span>]][[User talk:Girth Summit|<sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)</sub>]] 19:46, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
