Jacinto Quirarte

Thank you for creating the article for Jacinto Quirarte. He was my uncle and much loved in the family. If there's anything I can add regarding his biography and research/writing (I have some of his books, as well as the interview you cited, in longer form), I'll be happy to do so. I have photos too, so I'll see about uploading one onto the Commons. Thank you again. I've been wanting to create an article for him for a long time, but maybe because he's a relation, I hesitated. I appreciate your work on this so much. --Utilizer (talk) 00:14, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

• (I wrote you this message on my own talk page instead of yours--DUH--here it is): You made my day too. :) Seriously--I was so pleased to see your article. He does deserve to be on Wikipedia, for all the reasons you list here. I'm an editor too and I uploaded a photo I took of him in 2001--it's on the article--it's of him in Jerome during a reunion we all went to. He was an incredibly focused, intelligent, funny, endearing person--plus he was very kind--an unusual blend of personality traits. And he was the only academic in the family--all of his own doing. A remarkable fellow. I have the hard copy of Archives of American Art Journal and I'll look through some of his books for more information on his studies. I just wish he could have stuck around longer. I miss him. Thanks so much. --Utilizer (talk) 05:12, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
  • I was just reading your profile and you're so cool. My aunt, Jacinto's wife, would like to get in touch with you--is there a way she can do that? Here's a contact page for me, so you can let me know. My aunt is in San Antonio. Thanks again. :) https://www.blogger.com/profile/07939895933517000667 --Utilizer (talk) 21:05, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
    • I've never tagged on Wiki either. I just sent you a tweet. I can send you my Aunt's email address if you'd like. It's the only social media she does, but she's good at it. --Utilizer (talk) 02:46, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Using the Visual Editor

Hi, Susan! Your username came up at the top of the list of number of edits made using the Visual Editor in the last month by active Wikipedians, see here. And I notice that, while you started out using the old source editor, you appear to be using the Visual Editor now for almost all of your edits and that since making the switch to using the VE in that way, you seem to be making a lot of edits. So I am curious to know whether your surge in productivity is related to your use of the VE (has it made it just so much easier to contribute that you are now able to do so much more) or whether it's a minor factor and there are other reasons (e.g. have more time available or ...). Whatever the reason, please keep up the good work! We need more good women on Wikipedia! Kerry (talk) 23:33, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Susan! It's great to hear that the VE has been important factor in your recent high level of contributions. Many "old hands" are somewhat skeptical about it, so it's great to hear the other side of the story! Kerry (talk) 00:01, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Tonight? Josephine?

Hi, thanks for nice comment about Josephine Tilden. I'm going to get it on the main page I hope via Did You Know (see the talk page). Do you fancy giving it a quick proofread/copyedit and I'll put you in for credit. If you re busy on other stuff then thats fine. Thx again anywayVictuallers (talk) 16:57, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better

Hello!

First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)

Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Re: Olga Bell

I was patrolling new pages as I had some time. The lead section is supposed to summarize the article in general. In this case, it read more like a random sentence that was separated from the article body for the sake of saying that the article had a lead section. This being a musician, I would expect to at least read something in the lead pertaining to her career, rather than only reading a list of places she's lived during her life.

Stephanie Powell Watts

thanks for the kind remarks. I suppose I shouldn't waste my time with venting about ignorant Milhist members going on a lady novelist deletion crusade. slowly but surely, we have increased the coverage of women scientists, artists, and writers. but the privileged culture is unfazed by scorn and derision of reasonable people. I see too much of this done to newbies which leads directly to editor decline. if you're available October 9–11, 2015, for wikiconference usa [1] submit a travel grant now, you could meet all the braintrust, even DGG.

Just out of curiosity, did you get my e-mail? I asked for the template to send me a copy and I never got one. SusunW (talk) 16:52, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

And I am still wondering. Did my e-mail ever show up? And if it didn't, why didn't it? Is Wikipedia monitoring our e-mails? Censoring them? Or is it a Mexico problem? I never did get a copy of the e-mail, which is why I am still wondering. *sigh* SusunW (talk) 05:47, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alana Locke

Hi, Locke is a "girl", but I couldn't understand what mistake had I made while mentioning this thing?--Skr15081997 (talk) 10:44, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Carol Goodden

I don't feel comfortable just nominating one of your articles for deletion, but please consider whether this should be a redirect to FOOD. the significant information is essentially about her in context of the restaurant, and much of the rest of the article is over=personal. DGG ( talk ) 22:39, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for butting in on your page, Sue. But What DGG? Why would one even suggest paring down the life of a person to the three year life of a restaurant? Is David more important than Michaelangelo? Doesn't the notability of one rely on the other? If the creation is noteworthy, how can you insinuate that the creator is not? If you must delete something, choose something non-notable. Better yet, please go look at some of the other thousands of articles which need improvement and actually improve them. This deletion culture must stop. SusunW (talk) 14:11, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

this being an encyclopedia, we usually do pare down articles on people to the part that is appropriate for an encyclopedia. The policy here is NOT MEMORIAL: we do not write detailed bios of people unless the public interest in them would warrant it. The intrinsic merit of each individual has nothing to do with it. See WP:EINSTEIN; Michelangelo is famous, and many of his works are famous, and in fact he is one of the few people considered so famous that each individual one of his major works is appropriate for an article. If the only work he ever produced was David, that might well be the article (as is the case for a number of medieval artists, who are know primarily from one surviving work). Goodden is very possibly notable; she is certainly not famous in the same sense M. is. For someone who has one major accomplishment, it makes sense to consider them in context of it. If it turns out that there are other equally important accomplishments, that would be another matter. Fro the article at the time I saw it this restaurant was the only encyclopedia-worthy accomplishment, and better known than she is. We focus our articles to what people are more likely to have heard about. What caused me to spot this article was the duplication, which is inevitable if someone is known primarily for some one particular thing. The test is whether a viable article could be written where the only mention of the restaurant was a single sentence with a link.

(I am not now considering whether the material given here justifies a separate article--some of it is in areas I rarely work in) DGG ( talk ) 01:10, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

No problem SusunW, I wasn't sure that my Carol Goodden article was a very well-written article--it was one of my first. What's your take? Yesterday I was exhausted. Also, I felt like rather than losing everything to deletion, maybe I'd add her bio to FOOD via merge... Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:24, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

You know my philosophy. We can never learn all that there is to know and there is always room for improvement. I think she was more than just the three years that she spent at FOOD and deserves her own article. There are plenty of articles about her and she had other accomplishments besides FOOD. The other founders rate their own articles, why would she not? SusunW (talk) 14:38, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

True... she kind of goes quiet after FOOD, except for the festival in NY. Do you have anything else, SusunW? I think she lives in England now. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:42, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

She's apparently still exhibiting [2] and again, I think you can make a case that she is as important as the other primaries. Cambridge Journal piece calls her a significant artist of the period [3]. This piece says she was who financed [4] Gordon Matta-Clark and they split when she "lost her fortune". Will look more this afternoon. SusunW (talk) 15:17, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

SusunW, you rule! I'll look at adding what you found when I'm at lunch later today. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:33, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

More clues ... her name was Caroline ... Caroline Yorke Goodden. [5] now it's Ames ...Caroline Goodden Ames [6]. Same book that says she is now Ames, said she toured with Trisha Brown's Dance Company in the US and Europe. This shows she did] from 1970 to 1974 and gives the names of the shows. This says she was one of the founding members of Trish Brown's troupe so a bit more than an occasional performer. [7]. Was still in NY in 1977, as performed at MOMA [8]. This NY times piece clearly makes it evident that FOOD was only a small portion of what she did. [9] SusunW (talk) 22:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC) (Note: I get different hits if I put in Carol and Caroline, also put in -food and it will weed out some, but not all of the restaurant's links). If you need or want more, just holler. SusunW (talk) 22:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

SusunW, thank you so much for digging these up. I've reworked the article quite a lot. If you have a chance, take a look. You've done so much for me. Thank you!!!! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

This being

Much stronger article now. The only plus to this culture of deletion is that we have to stay on top of the files much more. But, the threats at deletion make us work to make better articles. It is a much more balanced piece showing her various endeavors now. :) Yes, DGG encylopedia. Offers information on people others might need or want to know about. Not about "famous" people, not about "personalities" about people who can be documented to have had an impact and to be notable for some accomplishments. SusunW (talk) 01:14, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
