Correction for Article for Creation

Dear MurieMary, Thank you so much for your feedback on my Draft article for Denise Ajayi-Williams. I have done the correction you pointed out. Best Wishes, (Ozonyiawiki (talk) 07:34, 2 June 2020 (UTC))

revisit please

Dear MurielMary, a separate "Awards and Collections" section has been added to Draft:Sharon Butler as you suggested. More citations have been added, too, to print publications. I hope this makes a stronger case for publication. Thanks for your help. Rocco718 (talk) 17:53, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

revisit please

Hello. I am very new to this and appreciate your valuable guidance. Regarding Katherine Haataja, on the Hannikainen Family website she appears in the family tree drawing on the right side, last on the branch, under her second name Elina born 1969. The parents names match the information available in public records. Obviously it is an old drawing, but she is most certainly included. In my research on Finnish Wikipedia I also found more relatives of female composer Ann-Elise Hannikainen whom I would like to include in the English Wikipedia. Can you kindly advise if I can simply make a translation of it when I create it? Thank you again very much. I really value your feedback and enjoy the research. Cr842morrow (talk) 20:11, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I have responded on the talk page of the article. MurielMary (talk) 11:17, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear MurielMary, thank you for you time and suggestions, and could you possibly have a look once again on the Draft:Yulia Kuzmenko. The entry has been significantly extended to represent Kuzmenko herself as much as possible. It is hard to separate completely Yulia’s biography from her current ordeal (arrest and incarceration) – obviously a life-changing event.

You write “an article <should be> written about the trial”. Your suggestion is worthwhile, and judicial side of her case does need an analysis and publicity. But at the moment it is scarcely possible, since 1) authorities are procrastinating the trial, and 2) prosecution is secretive with their materials.

An article in English-language Wikipedia would be a valuable reference for those who appeal for justice for this woman. LTA for Ukraine (talk) 18:39, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Mr.Muriel Recently I asked for your help in an article about deletion and you actually helped me to edit the article and revise it. You are one of the few here who really help and not just review.

Hi MurielMary. Thank you for facilitating the publication of the Rosalind Gersten Jacobs page. Your edits and assistance in expediting the review is very much appreciated. I'm working now to upload images to enhance the page. If I use a photograph of her by Man Ray, what do I have to do to insure that the image is accepted? Do I need permission of the Man Ray Estate?Gaw54 (talk) 20:54, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gaw54, nice to hear from you! It's good to have Rosalind's page published now! With regards to getting permission to use an image, I'm not really familiar with the ins and outs of how to deal with this situation. I suggest you ask at the Village Pump (like a helpdesk page) on the Wikimedia Commons site (that's where images are uploaded). Here's the page to post your question on: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Village_pump/Copyright

Hi MurielMay. I'm following up on my recent article with an entry on a woman whose life intersected with Rosalind Gersten Jacobs's story, Noma Copley. While she is the co-named founder of the Noma and William Copley Foundation, which is well documented, her story (unlike her then husband's story), has slipped through the cracks. So I made it my job to fix that. I would very much appreciate your taking a look at the draft Wiki entry I just submitted and facilitate its acceptance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Noma_Copley. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.Gaw54 (talk) 00:58, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

A to-do addition maybe

Hello MurielMary. I see you have a comprehensive to do list so maybe you don't really need me cluttering it up. However, there's an interesting lady, Fanny Fantham, who you might be interested in adding. Fanthams Peak on Mount Taranaki was named after her. She wss the first woman to climb it, and she worked in munitions factory and as a nurse in England in WW1. There's a bit about here ----> https://www.sooty.nz/ffantham.html Regards Moriori (talk) 21:15, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Citation error

Hi Muriel Mary. Me again. I just tried to update the Gersten Jacobs page with the citation of an article that came out today in Women's Wear Daily. An error message appeared and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Your assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!Gaw54 (talk) 22:23, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi again Gaw54, I just looked at the article and the added citation and it looks fine to me! What kind of error message was it? If you get it again, feel free to let me know and I might recognise it. MurielMary (talk) 07:16, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hi Muriel Mary. I really appreciate you approving my article today. Thanks for the friendly welcome to Wikipedia. MsHorton (talk) 19:44, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi MsHorton, you're welcome! Wang is a tricky woman to write about as her career was before the internet age and it looks like there are not many online sources about her. Now that the draft is published though, there might be other editors who can access other information about her. By the way, if you are interested in creating articles about notable women, there is a group of editors called Women in Red that works on creating articles - you can find the page by searching Wikipedia for Women in Red. All the best! MurielMary (talk) 19:49, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Ann E. Killebrew

• Hi. I am puzzled by you evaluation of Ann E. Killebrew. I would have thought that the many reviews of her books in well-regarded academic journals would qualify her as notable.NotButtigieg (talk) 12:15, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi NotButtigieg IMO the draft doesn't make it clear how and why Killebrew's work is notable. What has she achieved that other people in her field have not, for example? What breakthroughs has she made etc? You are welcome to edit the draft to add more detail and re-submit, or re-submit as is, for another reviewer to look at.

Hello! I saw your response to a recent review of this article. In accordance with your comments, I have reworked an article about Ukrainian designer Vita kin to make it encyclopedic.

Jasmin Shojai

My opinion is this draft should not have been approved. References 1-5 are interviews, and thus do not contribute to notability. The other two refs do little to establish notability either. Perhaps revert to draft so the creator can work on finding better references? David notMD (talk) 19:19, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Purdah (film)

Hello! Based on your suggestions, I have refined the sources for Purdah by removing the IMDB and Amazon citations, and by including some others. There is currently a primary source citation to the website of the Oscar-qualifying Cinequest Film Festival that verifies that Purdah premiered there. There is also a citation of the article about the film's world premiere on the notable film trade publication, Screen Anarchy, in addition to a citation of the film's write up in PRWeb about the film's Los Angeles premiere at the famous Chinese Theatres in Hollywood. I've also listed some of the film's festival awards and nominations as well. There's also links to several positive reviews from recognized film critics who are some of the select few approved Rotten Tomatoes film critics. I've fleshed out the rest of the article and honed it as well. I hope it can be approved, or if not, I would love any additional feedback. Thanks so much!

Draft:Ethan_Greenbaum

Hi-thanks for reviewing my draft == Draft:Ethan_Greenbaum ==

My understanding is the draft is rejected for "not having significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject"

I'm new to wikipedia publishing and a little confused as to what would qualify? There are links to articles about the artist in Forbes Magazine, Bomb Magazine, Interview Magazine and a review of a group show that mentions the artist in The New York Times as well as links to significant exhibitions at major venues like Hauser and Wirth and The Aldrich Museum. Having reviewed other artist wikipedia pages, it's unclear to me why this page is being rejected. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also-do you advise listing print publications for which there are no web links? (i.e. Modern Painters Magazine etc).

Thanks so much

Help with new category

Hi there, Muriel - it's some time since we have been in touch but I always appreciate your recognition of my stats on WiR. Inspired by David Eppstein's Category:Native American women academics, I thought it might be useful to have Category:New Zealand Māori women academics. I have tried to populate it as best I can but I am not at all sure all the names are those of women (here I often relied on Wikidata) or that I have added all the names of women who should be included. I would really appreciate any assistance you have time to offer.--Ipigott (talk) 17:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the slow reply, I've been out of town on summer holiday! Thanks for the heads-up about this category, I will take a look. I think Stuartyeates has written a lot about women academics in NZ and it would be good for him to look over it as well. Stuart, what do you think? MurielMary (talk) 10:12, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Good work User:Ipigott! I've written about every female prof in New Zealand (or all that I can find) and additional written about every Māori and Pacifica prof in the country. Most of these articles have my fingerprints on them so the lack of the category is probably my fault, I should have created it before. There's some complexity here separating ethnic Cook Islanders from Māori people, I don't usually add people to the Māori cats until I've found an attribution to an iwi / hapu. I also write gendered-pronoun free biographies, so quickly sorting articles into gendered cats may be slower than it might be, sorry. It's also worth noting that there are people like Karl Pulotu-Endemann who don't fit well into cats like these. (Thanks for the notification User:MurielMary.)

New article on Christchurch's residential red zone

Kia ora and hello! I am writing to you because you are a Wikipedian from Christchurch, who has edited the Christchurch Wikipedia meetup. I have just finished creating a new article for Christchurch's residential red zone following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. However, I am an American who has never visited New Zealand, let alone Christchurch, so I would find it helpful for Wikipedians from Christchurch to look over this article. In particular, I am hoping that someone will be able to contribute an image of the zone after demolition and removal of the houses that were there, especially an aerial image.

Thank you! I am an urban planning student with an interest in natural disaster preparation and recovery, so I saw this article as a hole that I could fill on Wikipedia.

Best,

Riverhugger (talk) 09:33, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Kia ora Riverhugger, that looks like a great article! Thanks for creating it! I'll ping a couple of other Christchurch editors here as they are sure to be interested in it too and may have photos to add: Schwede66 and Podzemnik. Cheers! MurielMary (talk) 09:41, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Daisy Edgar-Jones

Re: your comments here: This actress is the lead actress in a current drama series and to boot has the lead role in the television adaptation of one of the most successful novels in the world last year. This is such a flying pass of WP:NACTOR it would be a WP:SNOW keep at WP:AFD - in what universe, and on what possible basis, would she be a candidate for speedy deletion or PROD? Suggesting that there "just isn't any evidence of notability" and making PROD/speedy nominations displays a worrying lack of understanding of WP:NACTOR and notability guidelines in general for someone approving or declining AfC drafts. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:27, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

We clearly disagree with each other on the quality of this article. However, as I've already stated, neither this page nor the talk page of the PROD project are the appropriate places to discuss the quality of the article and the person's notability. I am still trying to get an appropriate page for the discussion to take place on and meanwhile you are mocking me in quite an inappropriate way. I take exception to the repeated mocking tone that you are using in your messages to me e.g. "you're a comedian" and "in what universe". This tone is not the appropriate tone for one editor to another and I hope you will desist from continuing to use it either with me or with other editors. MurielMary (talk) 09:33, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps someone so completely unfamiliar with Wikipedia's deletion processes that they don't know how to nominate an article for deletion (and repeatedly attempt to use means designed for uncontroversial cases to nominate a clear and unarguable pass of WP:NACTOR despite being reverted by multiple longstanding editors) should do some large-scale guideline and process reading before attempting to judge notability at Articles for Creation. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I find your attitude rude, condescending, patronising, accusatory (you seem to be convinced that I am incompetent, saying that I "attempt" to judge notability, that I'm "completely unfamiliar with processes" for example) and unbecoming of a longstanding WP editor like yourself. Your comments are also inaccurate, as my actions have not been "reverted by multiple editors" (two doe not equal multiple, particularly when one of them is yourself). Your behaviour is not at all helpful in building a community of editors. I suggest you do some reading on the meaning of "good faith" and Wikipedia:Civility as you have not demonstrated any of these values tonight; in fact you have not even acknowledged that your edit summary on the article, and your initial response on the PROD talk page, were utterly rude and uncivil. MurielMary (talk) 10:38, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

At WP:AFC, you're in a unique position to bite newbies if you so choose, and declining and then, when contradicted by another editor, repeatedly trying to delete an article that is an extremely clear pass for WP:NACTOR ensures that their first experience of Wikipedia is a bad one despite having done all the right things. That's really not helpful to building a community of editors. I always try to be helpful to people who are generally trying to do the right thing, but I return jerkish behaviour to sender. Your insistence on rudely ploughing on in this course of action without so much as acknowledging the existence of WP:NACTOR when pointed out to you is where you definitively go from the former category to the latter. The Drover's Wife (talk) 12:05, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Wow. You really don't seem to understand the concept of Wikipedia:Civility at all! Don't you see that calling me a jerk is really really uncivil and rude? In fact this whole conversation is very much a personal attack, with you attacking me as a person over and over again. Have you read Wikipedia:No personal attacks recently? Please refresh your memory on why personal attacks aren't permitted here. MurielMary (talk) 08:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Your freewheeling evasion of the point, whether concerning your understanding of notability policy or your newbie-biting, is really quite impressive. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:59, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Well, I would have been willing to discuss those things with a reasonable, polite editor who didn't immediately ascribe bad intentions to every edit I made, but with someone like yourself who came at me fighting and calling me names right from the get-go - nope, no way, not having a discussion and opening myself up to even more abuse!! This is something for you to reflect on - to have a discussion you need to start off respectful, not start off with slinging names around. MurielMary (talk) 09:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

People who make edits clearly against guidelines and then adamantly refuse to discuss their edits tend to find they meet with strong criticism. This is the way of things. The Drover's Wife (talk) 12:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

OK MurielMary. This is translated from Polish Wikipedia. The text is from verified sources Anna Janko. OK. I work on the project and add sources. Greetings.Fromzamoscwith (talk) 16:36, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The Polish Wikipedia is very different than the English one, and the two have different rules about things. I do not edit the Polish Wikipedia, for I cannot speak Polish, but I imagine that it may have different sourcing criteria than we do. The English Wikipedia is fairly rigid in sourcing guidelines, while in my extremely limited experience with other wikis not all have the same rules in the same places.

Hello MM,

Could you please re-review the submission regarding Odette Wilen. It has been 'rejected' by a different reviewer claiming 'Wiki is not a place for Memorial Pages'. This is far more than a 'memorial'. I am unrelated to OW. I was doing historical research on refeeding syndrome when I learned she OW was the only one of 39 women SOE agents from Section F who did not have her wiki bio in English, so I did some more reading and put one together. It is now referenced to many historical citations. Is the other reviewer correct? Many male SOE agents have wiki bios and achieved less. Thank you for your time. Gdoig

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello MurielMary,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

• There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
• A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
• A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
• A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Draft review for Noma Copley

Hi MurielMary. I'm hoping that your previous interest in my article on Rosalind Gersten Jacobs will extend to my related entry on Noma Copley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Noma_Copley. While she had a notable career as a fine arts jewelry designer and is the co-named founder of the Noma and William Copley Foundation, which is well documented, her story (unlike her then husband's story), has slipped through the cracks. So I made it my job to fix that. I would very much appreciate your taking a look at my revised Wiki entry, which was recently rejected for what was considered an informal tone. I would appreciate your feedback on the multiple revisions I've made and knowing if these concerns have been sufficiently addressed. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.Gaw54 (talk) 14:36, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Daria Usacheva

Could you please take one more look at Draft:Daria Usacheva and Daria Usacheva? You declined the draft at least twice, out of four declines of the draft, and the declines were stripped off the draft (and they say not to strip them off the draft), which appears to be a clear case of gaming the system. An article is now in article space. It doesn't appear that she yet satisfies skating notability. She is much closer to it than she was when you reviewed the draft, but her medals are still all at the junior level, which isn't in the scope of the guideline. However, I think that a before deletion search finds that she is famous for being famous as a young teenage skater, and that is enough for general notability. I don't like general notability, which is too subjective and winds up with arguments at Deletion Review, but it is policy. I don't like the fact that the sports notability guidelines and most of the other special notability guidelines contain language deferring to GNG, saying that a candidate who passes the special notability guideline is usually assumed to pass general notability. That winds up with arguments between the special notability guideline and general notability at DRV. But that is the way that the guidelines are written. However, this seems to be a real case where an article on an athlete should be accepted based on general notability. What do you think? Robert McClenon (talk) 17:37, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback; could you consider reviewing Draft:Felicity Volk again please?

Thank you for your feedback on Draft:Felicity Volk. As you have probably worked out I am new to content creation on Wikipedia and hopefully your advice on the use of inline citations has helped to improve this draft enough to publish. Reading the guidelines, I am confident that Volk warrants a wikipedia page, but my skills at preparing a reasonable page are still evolving. Any further advice would be appreciated if you still think it is lacking. Cheers. Peter — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterloone (talk • contribs) 13:31, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Michelle Hannah

Hello, MurielMary. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Michelle Hannah".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Bkissin (talk) 13:07, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Eddy Atkinson

I’m afraid I don’t agree with the changes you made to Ellen Atkinson. Edwin Atkinson was part and parcel of Ellen’s life and important background to her life. Also, you managed to cause issues for the referencing. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 02:10, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

What are you talking about?!? Daish’s paddock was completely relevant to Ellen’s life background! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 02:17, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

See comment on article talk page and discuss there so other editors can join discussion. MurielMary (talk) 02:20, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I apologise for the "hilarious" comment. I was frustrated, but that was no excuse. Please though, I spent a long time on that article and I did a lot of research into Ellen Atkinson's life. Your assertions that land rights weren't important to her is... not correct. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 04:03, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the apology. You've misunderstood my meaning around the relationship between land rights and her biography, I'll clarify on the article talk page. MurielMary (talk) 09:53, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Vanessa Baraitser

She is notable for being a judge *in a particular case*. It is therefore not shocking that the article is mostly about that. Your objection is noted and found wanting. --Stalfur (talk) 01:38, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Sure, you are free to re-submit the draft at any time and seek a different editor's opinion. However you should probably read up on the "1 event" notability exclusion criteria i.e. if someone is only notable for one event they may not be notable enough for WP. MurielMary (talk) 02:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!

I want to express my appreciation for accepting my AfC into the main Wiki space. Whenever Wikipedia accepts another woman CEO into its collection of informative articles, especially about a woman of color in a sector noticeably absent of women, such as pharmaceuticals (and science more generally) it is a victory for women and girls whose horizons have just broadened one more notch. Thank you for making Wikipedia a more inclusive place. Mathdestruction (talk) 06:41, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Caroline Shola Arewa

I am working on this draft and DGG mentioned the issues with the draft about WP:PEACOCK. It was quite clear and I made a cleanup. What I've understand till now is that it doesn't pass WP:GNG for now. I'd like your suggestion about this. The subject falls under the category British spiritual writers and I tried to follow the same pattern other pages in the category follow. Few examples are William Bloom, Cher Chevalier and Cassandra Eason. Most of the references they have are either their books or articles written by them.

So I'm a bit confused what could've gone wrong. Can I get your input on this one? Lunar Clock (talk) 07:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Category

Hi Muriel, as I was going through fixing my category changes, I noticed this edit. Isn't that what Mitch Ames was complaining about? - Chris.sherlock (talk) 21:30, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock: a specific link to the post where I was "complaining" would be helpful here.

In the case of Fiona Balfour, Category:Australian women business executives is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Australian business executives (because gender subcategories are non-diffusing of their gender-neutral parents) so the article belongs in both of those categories. My "complaint" (Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#Australian women categories, User talk:Chris.sherlock#WP:SUBCAT, User talk:Mitch Ames#Stop!) is regarding inclusion in both subcategory and parent when the subcategory is diffusing the parent on some non-gender criteria, e.g. "writers" (example) or "actresses" (example). Mitch Ames (talk) 02:36, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

My user page is not the appropriate place for a discussion about proposed category changes. Feel free to start a conversation somewhere in the "Categories" WikiProject, ping me, and I'll come and participate there. Mitch Ames @Chris.sherlock: MurielMary (talk) 08:19, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Raewyn Dalziel

How bizarre; this made my jaw drop! Within 12 hours of me setting up a Wikidata profile for Raewyn Dalziel you write her bio. Total coincidence (maybe so because you didn’t link to it), or did my work on Wikidata show up and inspired? I’m asking because if it did show up, I would not know how and where, but would be keen to learn.

Are you looking forward to level 3? Schwede66 08:24, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

LOL! Happy to solve the mystery for you! Her name showed up here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Missing_articles_by_nationality/New_Zealand Usually when I'm at a loose end for who to write about I browse that page (among others) for inspiration. I checked it this morning and was quite shocked that Dalziel was on it (i.e. didn't already have an article) as she's a very distinguished NZ historian; so decided to rectify that right away and start her bio! She's quite a private person, there's not much online about her (where she was born/raised/educated etc). Re Level 3, yes and no - husband and oldest son will be able to go to work, but that means I'm working at home + supervising the other two with their online high school lessons so I will probably be even busier! You? MurielMary (talk) 08:36, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Ha, so it was a total coincidence. I had seen her name as author of a number of DNZ bios and thought “is she notable?” Check; make Wikidata entry. L3 is good. As a company, we’ve decided to keep working from home through L3. Wife is “vulnerable” and will work from home, too. Schwede66 16:21, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Guidance on Draft:Carmen Harra

Hello, MurielMary! Thank you for the guidance you gave me in creating the draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Carmen_Harra. After six months in which I followed the instructions step by step, thank you for appreciating the result. Regarding your opinion that writing books and appearing in radio and TV shows does not equal notability, I completely agree. Compared to other writers, Carmen Harra has books in the Library of American Congress, a performance desired by any book author. This woman is known in the world due to her multiple careers: she was a singer in communist Romania, then she became a writer in the USA. Her books are published by major publishers and there are international editions of the books. Please consider when assessing the degree of notability that a woman fled the communist regime, arrived in the most important country in the world, and managed to publish 6 books in the Library of Congress. I appreciate Wikipedia because here I find relevant and verified information about people who have performed in various fields of activity. When I created this draft, I wanted to enrich Wikipedia articles. In a virtual world of social media platforms where only followers and likes establish "notability", I am convinced that Wikipedia remains a landmark of real, tangible objectivity.

Hi MurielMary,

This is to let you know that the featured picture File:Mary Cassatt - The Child's Bath - Google Art Project.jpg, which you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for June 24, 2020.

Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:41, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

The Child's Bath is an 1893 oil-on-canvas painting by American artist Mary Cassatt. She was born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh's North Side), but lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists.

This painting depicts a mother figure and a young child, a genre scene based on the everyday activity of bathing a small child. Cassatt was heavily influenced in her work by some of her fellow Impressionist peers, especially Degas. She also took inspiration from the prints of Japanese woodcuts exhibited at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, being drawn to the simplicity and clarity of the Japanese designs, and the skilful use of blocks of color. The work is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Hi there! This is a question regarding the draft entry for Esther Forman Singer (November 30).

We are trying to address the issue that all the materials we can find online are hidden behind academic or corporate paywalls. Thanks to a research librarian colleague we have three published articles in American Artist, plus a bio of her in the American Artists "Contributors" section, and a "Who's Who In American Artists 2006". Since links to those sources take you to a login, we tried the route of uploading the materials to the official site. It is ok to just link to the paywalled sources? We are trying to do everything right by Wiki rules and practices, but the lack of publicly visible info on Esther Forman Singer is literally the issue we are trying to address. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Statue of Pania

In the process of linking your new articles to Wikidata, I have discovered that an article on the Statue of Pania already existed. It's called Pania. Afraid you will need to add any additional content you've discovered and then create a redirect. There are a number of images of the statue on Commons, while the one you have used has yet to be transferred there. Oronsay (talk) 21:51, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

• Hi Oronsay, thanks so much for your work on linking the articles to WD, much appreciated! For Pania, yes there was previously an article which covered both the woman and the statue and I moved the material on the statue into a new page, Statue of Pania. Sorry I'm lost about your comment on adding content (to which article?) and creating a redirect (do you mean from one page to the other, in both directions?) MurielMary (talk) 09:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

False alarm! I just revisited Pania and realised that's about the woman and, of course, yours is about the statue. No merging required! Oronsay (talk) 18:13, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Pania into Statue of Pania. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 13:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Adriaen van Ostade (1610–1685) was a Dutch Golden Age painter. He was a prolific artist, and is best known for his genre art, with scenes or events from everyday life, such as markets, domestic settings, interiors, parties, inn scenes, and street scenes.

This oil-on-panel painting, dating to between 1650 and 1655, is entitled The De Goyer family and the painter; Ostade is shown standing on the right. The other people depicted are the seated Hendrick de Goyer, steward of Heemstede; his future wife Anna Questiers, in pink; and her sister, the poet Catharina Questiers, in the centre, perhaps reading one of her poems. The painting is in the collection of the Museum Bredius in The Hague.
