==WomenArtists==
Very kind to have been invited; my main concern is artist's books, conceptual art and modernism. If you need any help with any of those, let me know. I keep meaning to get round to a properly researched article on [http://imomus.livejournal.com/390422.html Chieko Shiomi], but have yet to find much to go on. Perhaps one day....

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Thanks for reviewing No Man's Sky, SarahStierch.

Unfortunately Kudpung has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

To avoid possible deleteion, please consider adding reliable sources that demonstrate the importance and significance of this product. I'm sure that if you search the Internet you will find some proof of its release.

To reply, leave a comment on Kudpung's talk page. I just want to ask a question. Take your time answering at your own convenience:rumour has it some people attempt to edit an article and are just truned down;others attempted to edit an article and are denounced as "vandals" while still others have their suggested edits accepted. It seems to that anyone who offered edits,accepted or otherwise is just trying to help.sucessfully or otherwise,and anyone who offers an unacepted edit should at least be turned down politely if their suggestions are not accepted. Don.t be offeneded if for some reawson you find this suggestion unacceptible. You don't have to print this. it's just between you and me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afrasclient (talkcontribs) 19:33, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

John Travis (physician)

Hi SarahStierch - I wonder if I could ask you a favour, when you have a moment, please? I have been asked to improve an existing Wikipedia page John Travis (physician). The page had a notification dating from April 2009 indicating that the article lacked inline citations. I have sought to address this and also did some additional editing - creating an infobox with an image, dividing the article into sections and adding sections (on the Illness-Wellness Continuum, university posts and NGOs). I haven't changed the actual page as yet (the changes are saved in my sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fbell74/sandbox). I wondered if you would have a look at this to make sure there aren't any issues? I wasn't sure if I should just go ahead and save the changes and then ask for a review but figured I might as well wait to be sure. If you aren't the right person to ask though perhaps you can point me me in the right direction? Thank you in advance Fbell74 (talk) 08:20, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I gave it a very brief glance. For additional help I would stop by the WP:TEAHOUSE where editors can lend a hand and provide better feedback. Here is all I can suggest right now:
  1. If you can't find a reliable secondary source then the content should be removed without questions asked. Even if it makes the article way shorter.
  2. You are using external links a little too much in the article body. Links should either be references (if reliable secondary sources), or moved into the external link section. You link to a lot of them, and that is frowned upon in Wikipedia, because it appears promotional. You can learn more about how to use external links properly here: WP:EXTERNAL.
Hope that helps some. I'm fairly busy with some other projects so sorry I can't provide more detailed analysis. Thanks for editing Wikipedia! SarahStierch (talk) 08:24, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking a look at the draft and for providing initial thoughts. It sounds like you're pretty busy! I thought that the external links might help a reader to find out more information about the respective sub-areas but I see what you mean about them being seen as overly promotional. I've removed these as links in the article and moved them to an External links section. I may have to do some work on the secondary sources. I included these as I thought they would address the original issue of lacking inline citations, but in doing this it has obviously caused problems from a different aspect. Thank you for your help - I'll do as you suggested and go via WP:TEAHOUSE Fbell74 (talk) 07:21, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Brzezinski page

Dear SarahStierch:

Thank you for your comments regarding Matthew Brzezinski's page. Actually I am not Matthew although I am related to him. He has had a Wikipedia entry on the Brzezinski page for many years but it was not filled in. I hope that my response to the various corrections and edits over the past year has sufficiently proved his notability, and apologize for my lack of fluency with the Wikipedia language and practices.

Best, Brzezrf (talk) 12:00, 17 December 2013 (UTC) Roberta Brzezinski[reply]

Big Chief Mkuja

Dear Sarah, I have just seen that you have deleted the Big Chief Mkuja page. Why have you gone in and deleted this? Ron Jones undeleted it to allow discussion. You have not entered into any discussion or made any comment. I see that you are not from the UK. I doubt you understand the significance of Airplay on BBC radio 6 music. This is by common consent the best music radio station in the UK and Stuart Maconie's freak Zone is the best show on radio 6. His opinion is very influential, and the way that you have dismissed it by your action does not show him or the BBC any respect. You have not given any reasoned argument for your deletion. I would ask you to undelete this and allow proper consideration to take place.Are you a music fan?

Hi there, the deletion was based on the consensus for deletion on the deletion page about the article. If you wish to have the article deleted, you can propose it through deletion request. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! SarahStierch (talk) 04:17, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Could you explain how you see a consensus for deletion please? There are four comments and one delete in the relisted discussion. The original discussion was 2-1 in favour of deletion. How do these contributions equal a consensus for deletion? With thanks. Dalliance (talk) 12:57, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there. It was due to notability. Please see the discussion here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Big Chief Mkuja. The discussion you are referring too had four delete's (nomination counts as one "vote") and "three keep"'s which were posted by what appear to be single purpose accounts. You can read more about that here. I did my own research and the band does not pass our general notability guidelines. I can only find one reliable secondary source (from Pinkushion, which is a blocked source on Wikipedia, so I can't post it) and the BBC link doesn't count, since it's just a mere mention - liner notes, set lists, don't count as major coverage. Again, any major concerns can be taken to deletion review. It appears it's too early for this band to have their own article. Thanks! SarahStierch (talk) 22:39, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the trouting comment. I had you confused with somebody else, I think. Thanks for withdrawing the nom. -- 101.119.14.157 (talk) 01:35, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I appreciate that. :) SarahStierch (talk) 01:36, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments on Editing Wikipedia brochure?

Thanks for your comments on a previous version of the new draft of the (formerly known as Welcome to Wikipedia, now known as) Editing Wikipedia brochure. We need all final comments on the draft by Monday, 23 December 2013. Add any final comments here! -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) (talk) 23:51, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Art & Feminism Edit-a-thon

Hi Sarah, just letting you know that the post you put on my talk page lists the event as Saturday, February 1, 2012, whereas I assume it should be 2014. Just letting you know in case it's a template that you have used for several posts. Rob. Robman94 (talk) 05:22, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

HA HA! DOH! Thanks :) I'll fix it now :) SarahStierch (talk) 05:23, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yo Ho Ho


.... or as we say Downunder, Yoo Hoo!

I suppose that I ought to join up. However my contribution to the biographies of women artists has been very limited. I wrote the article on Jean Isherwood and have contributed bits and pieces to Florence Broadhurst and others, mainly to people that I have known personally. I was taught by Isherwood and Broadhurst who both had more-than-life-sized personalities.

My usual areas are historic architectural styles- Romanesque architecture etc. Every now and then I come across someone who needs a biography written in order to eliminate a red link. Then I write it. Burcham Clamp, for example. So I will help, every now and then! I need to write a biography of my grandmother, Myra Juliet Taylor, who was an inventor and also a painter, so when I do, she will be part of the project. And then I could write my godmother's biography, as a water-colorist and illustrator. Hoo-Roo! Amandajm (talk) 10:35, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArtAndFeminism

Aww, that is so cool, Sarah. I'm looking forward to the event, and meeting you, and all the other participants! --Rosiestep (talk) 15:56, 21 December 2013 (UTC
