Because of this discussion perhaps? --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 21:05, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi! Were you able to get the draft version of this? I was thinking of you and realized we hadn't talked about the article for awhile. If you need my refs, I'll grab 'em again. I remember where I found most of them. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:02, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes thanks, it's currently here: Draft:Deirdre M. Condit. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 19:28, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ulrika Dahl

I try to do my part to alleviate the gender gap, but I kinda suck at writing biographical articles. I started working on a Swedish-language article on Ulrika Dahl a while back, but my interest waned. :-/

If you're interested, I could help translate Swedish-language sources. Dahl got her education in the US and I believe she's published a lot of her research in English.

If you start a draft English version and add a link on Women in Red then I'm sure we can all work on it. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 23:19, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's translated now and I added a redlink at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red/Feminists#Sweden.

Sorry for being a bit too grumpy, but your edits showed all signs of being refspam (irrelevant links on seemingly stray articles). Thanks for fixing it. Cheers, Tom. Thomas.W talk 16:01, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 16:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alkire article Suggestion

Hi there, as the creator of the Sabina Alkire page I was wondering if you would agree that the bibliography is over-long. It is one of the longest I have found on Wikipedia and includes briefing notes and self-published works (by her group). Considering the lead and information are so short and rely almost entirely on primary sources such an extensive bibliography seems strange and almost seems pasted from a CV. If you consent I would trim it down to just key papers. Mountaincirque 13:48, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a daughter article for it now. Thanks anyway. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 14:38, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup of Nuremberg trials

I just noticed your cleanup edit (posssibly using a script?) on Nuremberg trials. It looks to me as if it doesn't conform to WP:MOS (it now has sentence case for the title of a journal article and still has typographical quotation marks, but I thought I should check with you (especially in case a script or bot needs changing). I'm not sure if there is a special recommendation for quotations within the titles of journal articles, but I suppose straight single quotes would be standard. It currently reads

  • {{Cite journal | last = Brunner | first = José | title = “Oh those crazy cards again”: a history of the debate on the Nazi Rorschachs, 1946–2001 | journal = [[Political Psychology (journal)|Political Psychology]] | volume = 22 | issue = 2 | pages = 233–261 | publisher = [[Wiley-Blackwell|Wiley]] | doi = 10.1111/0162-895X.00237 | jstor = 3791925 | date = September 2001 | url = http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/0162-895X.00237 | ref = harv | postscript = .}} {{subscription required |date=October 2012}}

--Boson (talk) 14:58, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have to confess I had to look up sentence case (not a phrase we use in the UK). Book sources tends to put everything after the initial letter in lower case (as here), and the journal template shows both all caps or initial cap and then lower case as examples. I just did what I thought looked right, I think it's just a case of personal preference rather than any specific rule under WP:MOS#Titles of works. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 15:53, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question

[1] Curious why in this edit [2] and others you have reformatted the title to be different from the actual book? Thanks by the way for the polishing you did. WCMemail 15:44, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean upper-case/lower-case? WP uses lower-case for titles e.g. journals, and the same for books. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 15:52, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that's it, the very first example in journals however contradicts you. Normally I use the Google books citation generator, which uses the raw text from Google. Is there any reason why you wouldn't stick with the title as written normally - ie I mean why change the grammar structure in a book title? WCMemail 16:11, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There isn't a particular reason, just personal preference. Some journals write their titles in lower case e.g. Comparative European Politics, and I've seen BLOCK CAPS used by some journals as well. (I'm not sure how journals contradicts me btw.) --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 16:18, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{cite journal |last=Smith |first=Joseph III |date=October 1879 |title=Last Testimony of Sister Emma |journal=The Saints' Herald |volume=26 |page=289}}

If its a matter of personal preference, I would prefer it if we reflected the source. WCMemail 16:57, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If its a matter of personal preference, then you should reference the way that you prefer and I should reference the way that I prefer, otherwise they wouldn't be personal. If I see all caps as the source then there's no way I'm going to slavishly copy that. Thanks for your interest though. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 17:19, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thats fine, just wondered why you changed it. FYI capitalisation differs in British English, for example The Tripartite Forum of Dialogue would be capitalised in British English as it is a name, there is a handy ref here for future reference [3]. If you don't mind I'll be correcting the grammar back to British English. Regards and thanks for your work. WCMemail 18:57, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm British too, and well aware of what a pronoun is. I created the article Mediterranean Politics and was going through refs adding wikilinks to the journal title. I didn't realise that The Tripartite Forum of Dialogue was a book or I would have left it in caps, although I would still leave the non-pronouns of 'problem' and 'solution' as lower-case, but thanks anyway. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 23:19, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Don't I look an a***e for assuming you were American! Thanks for being gentle with me, undeserved but I thank you nonetheless. Regards, WCMemail 23:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Challenge (journal)

This is a magazine, not a journal. The official website says so unless you have proof that it is an academic journal, which requires "References" or a list of cited sources. --George Ho (talk) 07:49, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
