Template:Did you know nominations/Wydawnictwa Szkolne i Pedagogiczne

Hi, we just had an edit conflict. I also came by to promote the hook but thought it was too promotional. I reopened the nomination and suggested an ALT. If you need another hook to fill in a blank, I'll provide it. Best, Yoninah (talk) 01:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prep 4: Balloon pilot

Hi, the nominator's preference was for ALT1 (which is indeed hookier):

... that Eleanor Vadala (pictured), the third woman in the US to receive FAA certification as a balloon pilot, not only flew balloons but also studied them, repaired them and drove chase cars after them? Yoninah (talk) 01:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That was the hook I meant to promote; I've now changed it. Note that the nominator did not actually express a preference for a hook, if you read the conversation. For future reference, you don't need my permission to make changes such as these. 97198 (talk) 01:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I recently got slapped on the hand for changing someone else's edit, so that's why I mentioned it. Yoninah (talk) 02:51, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, feel free to come along after me and make any improvements you see fit. 97198 (talk) 04:51, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DBigXray: Can I ask why you decided to "invite" me to this discussion? I have never edited the article and I have never displayed any interest in Indian political biographies. I am very curious. 97198 (talk) 03:12, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
97198, one of the editors at Afd wants the DYK participants of this article invited. So i complied instead of arguing. You can ignore the message. If you want. Regards. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ 04:21, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prep 2 - Charlie Watts

Thanks for this. I was hoping we could use the mage as although low resolution, it's graphically strong with the flag. Any chance of moving it to one of the others? Philafrenzy (talk) 05:46, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Philafrenzy: Personally I feel the image is pretty poor compared to the many hooks with high-quality images also waiting to be promoted. I have posted at WT:DYK#Prep 2 - Charlie Watts for wider discussion. 97198 (talk) 12:04, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My name among missing articles

Hi Sophie,

I’m a filmmaker/actress and recently found my name in the list of missing names https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Missing_articles_by_occupation/Actresses_-_country_%26_date_of_birth_unknown

I know it’s really difficult to create an article, I was wondering if you would be interested to help? I’m also very interested in your mission - reducing the gender gap - and would be glad to help finding more female filmmakers biographies.

NPP

Hi 97198. I am currently working off a list of editors active at AfC who also have autopatrol as possible NPP additions. Anyway I can get you to give NPP a second chance? One of the reasons I'm doing this is off a NPP discussion about how it can sometimes be useful for AfC to mark as unreviewed new articles so they get second opinions. Let me know if you might be interested in giving it another go. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:47, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Barkeep49, thanks for the note. I found NPP very confusing on my first foray and unfortunately I'm very pretty off-wiki at the moment so don't have a lot of time to dedicate to a second attempt at learning NPP. 97198 (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2020 (UTC) Resending botched ping. 97198 (talk) 11:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I am an undergraduate student in an art history course focussing on art activism. I noticed that you are an active contributor to WP:Women in Red (WiR). I am interested in learning more about WiR users like yourself for use in a class project. I would sincerely appreciate if you would agree to answering a few short questions for me.

  • How did you hear about WiR?
  • What made you decide to get involved?
  • How many pages have you contributed to as a part of WiR?
  • How do you decide what pages to work on?
  • What's the page you're most proud of and why?
  • How much time per month do you devote to WiR?
  • Do you view content creation as a form of art?
  • Do you view your work as activism?
  • How do you research a topic that you wish to edit or create a new page on?

If you agree, please feel free to leave your answers as a reply to this post. Thank you for your time in considering my interview request. HonestButterfly (talk) 20:42, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
