Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England | |
---|---|
As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

I am going to the library today and will look at the first volume of Wallner (I bought only the second) and should be able to respond to Brian's remaining questions, mostly regarding years Pierce did stuff. With that accomplished, we may as well move ahead to FAC. You might want to look over my edits and also there were one or two minor issues at PR I was unsure of and said you might to weigh in on, but we can do that on our talk pages or the article's.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 09:32, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
I'm posting here to follow up on the recent Village Pump discussion, archived here, to move pronunciations and other info out of article lead sections. I'm inviting editors who participated in that discussion to comment on the Manual of Style:Lead section guideline. If you would like to participate, please add your comments to the discussion. Cheers! Ivanvector ( talk) 19:57, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
I do beg pardon, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. Can you explain the problem/needed fix? At a guess, it might be the image in the TFA being too small to give details in the uncropped image? Adam Cuerden ( talk) 17:59, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
I find that offering a cropped version can often lead to the crop being used inappropriately, so could we only host the cropped version locally, with a {{ notforcommons}}? I'd rather avoid having the cropped image suddenly appear in a dozen articles, while the full view of Pierce all but disappears, and a little planning ahead will help avoid that. =) Adam Cuerden ( talk) 19:29, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Berkshire Community College logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 20:55, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

The article Michael O. Moore has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. – Finnusertop ( talk ⋅ contribs) 13:09, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Peter A. Vellucci requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hi Designate! I've long had the same concern (that you expressed at the Village Pump here and that I much later brought up here) that hatnotes are a bad way to clarify surnames. I've been trying to learn template editing, so I went ahead and created Template:Chinese name 2, which inserts a footnote rather than a hatnote, and boldly implemented it at Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping to see what reaction it gets. If it catches on, it could be expanded to other surname templates, or we could even do a mass-replacement via a bot. Sdkb ( talk) 19:43, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
