THANK YOU FOR REPLY. I APPRECIATE THAT IT WILL TAKE TIME TO GO THROUGH THE NOTES AND IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT OTHERS WITH AN INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT CAN ACCESS AND EDIT. I THOUGHT THE INFORMATION ON EITHNE'S STRONG CAREER WAS LIMITED SO I AM ADDING SOME MORE NOTES HERE
Eithne Strong nee O’Connell ( 1923 -1999) born West Limerick, Ireland was an Irish woman poet and writer. Patricia Boyle Haberstroh in Women Creating Women described her as having one of the longest careers among contemporary Irish women poets.[1]. Author and poet Mary O'Donnell in her forward-essay[2] to Strong's poems suggested that “ diversity of thought and impulse makes these poems radiate humanity, belief and a revelatory sense of justice.” The editor of Poethead Wordpress, Christine Elizabeth Murray has linked the poetry [3] of Patrick Kavanagh, Padraic Colum and Eithne Strong describing their work " as an example of the triumph of art and literature providing an amazing root-system for new writers in terms of earthly estate, land and language".
Life and Career
Eithne's parents , John Quin O'Connell and Kathleen Lennon were schoolteachers. During her childhood, Breac Gaelic was freely used - Irish interspersed with English [4]. Her formative years were dominated by a strict Roman Catholic upbringing. She spent her secondary education at the Irish speaking Scoil Muiris, Convent of Mercy in Ennis, Co. Clare. In 1941 she joined the Civil Service (1942-43) and the Irish language movement [4].
Her earliest poetry was published when she was 19 in An Glor [2]. It was in Dublin that she met her future husband, the Freudian psychoanalyst and poet Rupert Strong, an Englishman and a Protestant whom she married at 20 [1] . Wilson/Sommerville-Arjat describe how Strong’s career as a poet was unusual at a time when Irish women poets were scant and how she continued to write throughout her life despite having nine children[5]. At the time of her death in 1999, she had published five collections of poetry in Irish, six collections of poetry in English, two novels, one short story collection Irish and one short story collection in English [6]. Rupert Strong was one of the founder members of the first and oldest psychoanalytic associations in Ireland, the Irish Pyscho-Analytic Association (IPAA).[7]
Eithne Strong's early work appeared in Poetry Quatros (Runa. 1943-45). Her first poetry collection, Songs of Living with an introduction by Padraic Colum was published in 1961 when she was 38[1 ] . In her late forties, Strong graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in Irish and English and a diploma in education (1975) and combined teaching, writing and family. Her poetry has been translated into French, Italian and German [4].

McConnel Johnson Innovation Center

jonesrmj - You said my article about McConnel Johnson Innovation Center is proposed to be deleted and it seems like a reason (according to what I saw) was that it isn't a real building. Thats because its proposed. Also, what are some other reasons on why this article is proposed to be deleted? Thanks, -jonesrmj

You can see the discussion, and contribute, over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McConnell Johnson Innovation Center. I proposed it because it is an article about a building that doesn't yet (if ever) exist. I don't believe that should be in the encyclopaedia. You are welcome to disagree. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 18:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I kind of don't get it cause aren't there other articles about proposed buildings as well jonesrmj
There may be but I haven't seen them but in any case Wikipedia:Other stuff exists - the issue is whether it is notable enough to have a page and the consensus is that it was not. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 11:32, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What page did you find this sourced on that you added with this edit? ww2censor (talk) 17:25, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh drat - I didn't note it - I'll have to go back and find it again - I'm not sure it's a fair reference either... 🍺 Antiqueight chat 20:05, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I will put any better reference in there when I can find one - Geology not my top speciality... 🍺 Antiqueight chat 20:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Checking articles

Are you checking my all created articles. And how come are you checking my articles. Are an administrator? ЖunalForYou ☎️📝 15:51, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think I only came across you twice. One I think showed up on page patrol and I don't remember why I saw the other. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 15:55, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please help

Hello, I just now created a template Koimoi. But when I added the template in Sunny Deol article, the template was successfully working, but on clicking the template, the page says "Not found". Can you help the template to work. ЖunalForYou ☎️📝 16:44, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I have no real knowledge of templates except to use them. But it is pointing to the wrong link in Koimoi I think. Koimoi claims to have no actor page. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 17:08, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Automated message?

Hi Antiqueight, thanks for your message. You're correct I'm not the original author (I moved the page), but I'm guessing you used Twinkle and it seems the automatic notifications don't see the distinction. No worries, but appreciate your note. Cheers Melcous (talk)

Yes- that was it precisely and it took a second before I realised it had done that so rather than delete it off your page and cause confusion I left it and added the note..Glad you understood. :-) 🍺 Antiqueight chat 23:21, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redoing refs

Hi. I noticed that you've recently been working on the page for Catherine Allen Latimer, which is great. However, I've noticed that you've been moving all the references into the body of the text, not just the new ones you've added. You may not be aware that the policy here is to leave references in the style started by the original author of the page, and if you want to make changes, to seek consensus first. (See WP:CITEVAR.) I strongly prefer to keep ref info out of the body of the text because it makes editing so much easier (less cluttered), so I wanted to let you know that as the page's originator, I am going to revert them back, though of course keeping your specific additions to the page. Cheers, Alafarge (talk) 22:52, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see, yes - I usually put them in the text so I know what reference refers to which point and while was adding references I broke some of the existing ones and put them back and matched them as I was familiar without noticing I was changing the style. Another point to learn. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 23:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I found her fascinating and got carried away a bit... 🍺 Antiqueight chat 23:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree on how interesting she is & really appreciated the new info you dug up on her. With respect to refs, I find that naming the refs by the author name or website name helps me keep them straight, instead of using something generic like numbers.Alafarge (talk) 17:57, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article deleted

Hi there, my article was deleted. It was about the royal family of egypt and their family tree. I can understand that the subject is not important for you.

You view very weak!!, there is not anything to do in part that exists in the border guards article.RabeaMalah (talk) 00:45, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The page has no sources and mostly duplicates what is on the existing page for Border guards. But here is not the best place to put your disagreement - I will not control if the page is deleted or not. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 00:53, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started (Anne Fuller) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Anne Fuller, Antiqueight!

Wikipedia editor Blythwood just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Looks like a really interesting topic for an article, thanks for creating this! I've been reading through Google Books and found quite a lot of other citations, which I've added where they look worth having - hope that's OK.
My one real concern is the "considered one of the key Irish authors of gothic fiction" phrase - I'm no expert on this topic, but the sources I've seen certainly don't all say that, so I think you might want to think about rephrasing or qualifying that? Otherwise looks good.

To reply, leave a comment on Blythwood's talk page.

  • Hi and thanks for stopping by my talkpage. I thought I'd drop off an official invitation here, which is why I didn't respond on my talkpage. Basically, editors from around the world will be creating biographies about women artists, activists, social reformers, and feminists, plus articles about works of art created by women. Some editors will work on wikignome tasks such as these, event tasks list. You are warmly welcome to jump in with any of this. Please add your name on our meetup page (linked in the invitation) if you wish. And do let me know if you have any other questions. Best, --Rosiestep (talk) 02:50, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Rosiestep and thank you for commenting here because I totally forgot to watch your page....I've signed up. I'm currently working on missing women writers (especially Irish ones) mostly because I can understand the sources I find. Unless something very odd happens I'd be happy to work with you all on this or other parts of the project. Though - you are the second person to mention wikidata so can I ask for a good place to go to read up on that? Until recently I've really stuck to vandal bopping rather than editing for content. But assuming my last few efforts aren't too bad I need to start getting up to speed on the intricacies of creation and making sure all the ts are crossed. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 03:04, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not an expert with Wikidata, though I've created many entries there. The best place to ask about it and how it fits in with the work we're doing eon th Women in Red talkpage. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 03:13, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hip deep in alligators, but off the top, to eliminate orphan status, link your articles to List of Irish women writers and then remove the tag. We have real problems with people who nominate articles on women for deletion, so be sure in the lede to state unequivocally why they are notable. I would also suggest marking them with the stub tag if the basic biographical details are unknown and/or if your text is not at least 1500 characters. Writer stub tags I've briefly looked at Anna Millikin and will try to get to some of the others, though it will probably not be all today. Please feel free to ping me if you have questions and I'll be glad to try to help.SusunW (talk) 16:29, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I saw you add that page so I'm adding the others too. I'll go back and stub most of them as they really are. I'll try to make the notable more so..even if it is to reuse the same quote from a paper on how they are the key irish gothic novelists (that lot anyway) and can probably shoehorn some onto austin as I think she made reference to one or two of them. Thanks. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 16:32, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Antiqueight. I'm really happy to see you've joined the club and are already writing new articles and improving old ones. I should perhaps draw your attention to the fact that you inadvertently caused a problem with the WiR members list when you added content to your member card entry. Everything returned to normal when you deleted everything but your membership details. If you ever need any assistance with anything, please let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 10:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
IpigottThanks - I saw you curated some of my articles as well and removed the stub comments. Thank you for that. I had no idea adding content to the project card page would break the membership page. I was moving the content around looking for a simple place to store the information I would need for the pages I wanted to create. Anyway - I am sorry for the inconvenience but please if you have hints tips or requests for things I can work on, let me know. I'm always happy to help. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 13:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. That's a great offer. You seem to be a highly competent editor. If you are interested in art, you might like to create a few biographies on Irish women artists in connection with our Art+Feminism editathon. If I have anything more specific, I'll let you know.--Ipigott (talk) 13:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a missing list of Irish artists? I know less about artists than gothic novelists but I can write a basic biography article for anyone. Irish is easier as I know and understand the environment and I'm biased enough to want to start with Irish women but I don't know enough to identify from a general redlink list which people are Irish. The writers page has a "by nationality" list which let me accidentally find a whole host of other Irish women writers. I'll take a look anyway. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 14:57, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eithne Strong

I give Contemporary Authors Online a stronger weight as a source since it is a traditional reference source, but if enough sources contradict each other, then it can get confusing. What information should be included? Should all contradictions be mentioned? They actually say 1923 on that site, but I noticed the contradictions so I left it for now. I am sure I will be back once I find more sources. --LibraryGurl (talk) 17:52, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Librarygurl - It was 2 of the 5 sources said 23 but now it's 3 of the 5 and at least 2 of those are good quality sources. So for now I've put it back to 23. Let's see. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 18:05, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Antiqueight, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled.

EITHNE STRONG: ~

Thank you for your message. I think that your article needs to be more scholary in terms of refering to criticism , references, interviews and external links. I am attaching some additonal information on theses areas so that you can abstract what you consider useful . Please contact me if you require clarification.

(removing caps to make it easier to read plus a little editing to also make it more readable on the page. No content changes)

THANK YOU FOR REPLY. I APPRECIATE THAT IT WILL TAKE TIME TO GO THROUGH THE NOTES AND IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT OTHERS WITH AN INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT CAN ACCESS AND EDIT. I THOUGHT THE INFORMATION ON EITHNE'S STRONG CAREER WAS LIMITED SO I AM ADDING SOME MORE NOTES HERE Eithne Strong nee O’Connell ( 1923 -1999) born West Limerick, Ireland was an Irish woman poet and writer. Patricia Boyle Haberstroh in Women Creating Women described her as having one of the longest careers among contemporary Irish women poets.[1]. Author and poet Mary O'Donnell in her forward-essay[2] to Strong's poems suggested that “ diversity of thought and impulse makes these poems radiate humanity, belief and a revelatory sense of justice.” The editor of Poethead Wordpress, Christine Elizabeth Murray has linked the poetry [3] of Patrick Kavanagh, Padraic Colum and Eithne Strong describing their work " as an example of the triumph of art and literature providing an amazing root-system for new writers in terms of earthly estate, land and language". Life and Career Eithne's parents , John Quin O'Connell and Kathleen Lennon were schoolteachers. During her childhood, Breac Gaelic was freely used - Irish interspersed with English [4]. Her formative years were dominated by a strict Roman Catholic upbringing. She spent her secondary education at the Irish speaking Scoil Muiris, Convent of Mercy in Ennis, Co. Clare. In 1941 she joined the Civil Service (1942-43) and the Irish language movement [4]. Her earliest poetry was published when she was 19 in An Glor [2]. It was in Dublin that she met her future husband, the Freudian psychoanalyst and poet Rupert Strong, an Englishman and a Protestant whom she married at 20 [1] . Wilson/Sommerville-Arjat describe how Strong’s career as a poet was unusual at a time when Irish women poets were scant and how she continued to write throughout her life despite having nine children[5]. At the time of her death in 1999, she had published five collections of poetry in Irish, six collections of poetry in English, two novels, one short story collection Irish and one short story collection in English [6]. Rupert Strong was one of the founder members of the first and oldest psychoanalytic associations in Ireland, the Irish Pyscho-Analytic Association (IPAA).[7] Eithne Strong's early work appeared in Poetry Quatros (Runa. 1943-45). Her first poetry collection, Songs of Living with an introduction by Padraic Colum was published in 1961 when she was 38[1 ] . In her late forties, Strong graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in Irish and English and a diploma in education (1975) and combined teaching, writing and family. Her poetry has been translated into French, Italian and German [4]. SARAH STRONG (92.24.80.57 (talk) 10:09, 28 February 2016 (UTC))[reply]
