The Katherine Hughes (activist) draft

I've meant to improve the draft and I've had some ideas, but I have struggled to actually do anything with them. I started reading a book about Katherine Hughes (it was called 'Sweet Sixteen,' can't remember the author atm but can find this information later when my bedroom is more organized) but most of the information contained in that book (until the point I read) was about the other 15 female journalists who covered the 1914 St. Louis World Fair. It's a very interesting book actually, but I haven't read much about Katherine Hughes yet (other than that she was one of the total 16 journalists and that her birth date recorded in the book is different from other sources). I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I'm still not sure how to improve the draft at this point. I know that you also mentioned that you had some ideas earlier about the draft and since I haven't been able to think of anything to improve the article in two months, I would appreciate any improvements, if you're interested in editing the draft. One other thing to note: the book does mention that Hughes did not support women's suffrage. I'll look at my notebook for a page number, but this claim was mentioned in other sources. I thought it was strange at first from a modern perspective, but Anti-suffragism existed. Clovermoss (talk) 07:12, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Clovermoss, thanks for reaching out. Currently I'm doing quite a bit both on Wikipedia and in real life, but I'll try to do what I can for the page as time permits. I did find the book you meniton and both the author and the publisher seem reliable, so if you would like to use it it should be fine; if the birth dates conflict, you could mention in the article that the exact DOB varies between sources. Cheers, --SkyGazer 512 My talk page 14:16, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi again. I'm glad that you're considering helping. I understand that you're busy with other things. I don't mind waiting, I'm grateful for any help you can give. I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to expand my own draft. I've been expanding other articles and adding references, so it feels weird to have such a hard time thinking about how to apply that to my own draft. Anyways, I did some research for research while trying to expand the article before. I have a list of potential resources that could be very helpful of online sources in my sandbox. If you think they could be helpful, I have no problem with you looking around/using them to improve the article. Clovermoss (talk) 16:16, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: It can be hard to expand articles sometimes. I'm less busy IRL currently so I'll try to do what I can. :-)--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 18:17, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Good news! I've done some expansion to the draft. However, a lot of the information still needs to be converted into running prose, which is on my to-do list. Other than converting to running prose, do you have any other suggestions? Clovermoss (talk) 05:16, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: Awesome! Now that you've added sources following all statements in the article, it will be much easier for me to try to copy-edit it, convert to running prose, and expand it. I'll take a look now!--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 00:40, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
Thank you so much for taking a look at it! I do have one question though - at what point should the draft be submitted for review? I'm thinking that once the rest of the article has been converted to running prose? Again, thank you for the all the time you've spent helping me and giving advice... I'm actually quite proud that the draft has progressed into what it has and it wouldn't have been that way without your help. Clovermoss (talk) 02:05, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: Well, once a draft has shown that it is notable, follows core policies for the most part (most importantly copyvio and sourcing), is mostly formatted correctly, it will usually be accepted. Unfortunately, I've found myself quite busy IRL recently but I'm going to try to see what I can do over the weekend.--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 02:48, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Would [1] this be of any help? It's the Library of Congress information for her book about Father Lacaombe. It mentions her as the author and other general information. Clovermoss (talk) 14:59, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
There's also [2] about her involvement in the Catholic Women's League. It's from The Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton. Clovermoss (talk) 15:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
[3] This is a wordpress website, but it has an author (that if believed, has a PhD in history), is quite detailed and cites sources at the bottom. I'm thinking that those cited sources (they're books), if accesible, could be quite helpful. If they mention Katherine Hughes, they'd be useful. Clovermoss (talk) 18:01, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll have a look.--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 22:10, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Katherine Hughes (activist)

The article has been accepted at AFC, but I'm guessing that you already know that with the links to other articles :) Once again, thank you for all the help you've put into helping the article get there. I'm kind of excited that the article passed AFC. I know that it's all about improving Wikipedia, but I like the sense of acomplishment when I think about my efforts actually being a part of that. Clovermoss (talk) 17:08, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Yep, I noticed, Clovermoss. I'm happy I was able to help; I'll try to further expand and improve as time permits, we might could even nominate it for WP:DYK. Making creations/edits is about improving Wikipedia, but there's no problem with having a sense of accomplishment for having such an important article you wrote yourself moved to mainspace. Congrats!--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 18:44, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
I'm worried that there's one sentance in the article that could be confusing. Edmonton is the capital city of the province Alberta. Each province/territory in Canada has its own capital. The only exception to this is Ontario: Toronto is the capital of Ontario, but Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. I could look at the sources again, but I'm thinking that it's meant in the "she worked in Edmonton as the first provincial archivist for Alberta" kind-of-way. Side note: Should I put any further discussions of the article on the talk page now that it's a live article? Since you have been the other main contributor to the article I wanted to mention it here. Clovermoss (talk) 19:07, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: Wonder if something like "Hughes became the first provincial archivist for Alberta in 1908, while residing in Edmonton" would work? I don't think it matters a whole lot where you ask questions about issues like this, but for more important discussions it would probably be best to use the talk page. I am watchlisting Hughes' page and the talk page, so I'll see whenever you post something there. Cheers, --SkyGazer 512 My talk page 19:15, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
Okay! I didn't want to assume it was on your watchlist (in case it wasn't/not everyone uses watchlists anyways). It's on my watchlist too, so I'll see anything you bring up there, too. I think the suggestion you just made about that particular sentance would work. Clovermoss (talk) 19:20, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
As for DYK, I read the link and the eligibility criteria. The article as-is seems to meet the criteria, since it's a new article to mainspace (1.c), I'm not sure if the article currently meets the characters of prose requirement, I'm not sure how to run the scripts mentioned. There could be several hooks; but if there was one in particular, I was thinking a hook about becoming the first provincial archivist of Alberta would meet the requirements. If you're planning on expanding the article further, I'm guessing that the nomination should probably wait? Clovermoss (talk) 19:31, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: I checked, and the article is 2,277 characters in prose size so it exceeds the length requirement. I don't think your hook suggestion is bad at all and it probably could work, but I think it would be best to have something that is very intriguing for a broad audience. I probably will expand the article further, and when I do so, I may find something that would work even better for DYK.--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 21:38, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Pacific baza

On 30 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pacific baza, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Pacific baza has been rumoured to imitate the calls of tree-frogs when hunting, persuading them to return the call? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pacific baza. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Pacific baza), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • XTools Admin Stats, a tool to list admins by administrative actions, has been revamped to support more types of log entries such as AbuseFilter changes. Two additional tools have been integrated into it as well: Steward Stats and Patroller Stats.

Arbitration

  • In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee passed a motion amending the procedures for return of permissions (diff). In such cases, the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
  • Following a formal ratification process, the arbitration policy has been amended (diff). Specifically, the two-thirds majority required to remove or suspend an arbitrator now excludes (1) the arbitrator facing suspension or removal, and (2) any inactive arbitrator who does not respond within 30 days to attempts to solicit their feedback on the resolution through all known methods of communication.

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello SkyGazer 512,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

  • Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
  • Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Thanks for helping make The Black Dahlia (graphic novel) a English Wikipedia article  :)

I noticed that you sent a "Thank You" notification to me when I thanked User:Phospheros on his talk page I don't know how to send "Thank You" Notifications, so I'll just say THANK YOU here! I know it's late praise, and late expression of gratitude, but it was important to me, that article. From The Black Dahlia (graphic novel)'s History page, it seems yourself, and User:Phospheros and User:Worldbruce helped out a lot in making it an article. Like I mentioned, this article was important to me (Also, I've created eight other English Wikipedia articles, not counting the three English files; See [Contributions]), and I've never had this kind of trouble creating an article on Wikipedia before. I have always tried to create articles that are noteworthy on Wikipedia. It was moved to draftspace before I even had time to work on it. Is this a new thing? Is this something you might know about or have experienced yourself firsthand?  ?

Anyway, once again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SkyGazer 512, for your help. :) I'm going by the article's history, so let me know if there is anyone else that helped out. God bless you and Best prayers to you.PeaceShield5 (talk) 22:20, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi PeaceShield5, thank you for the kind message. Quite honestly, I didn't do a whole lot; just cleaned up a little bit (and after it was moved to mainspace), but I'm happy I was able to help. Thanks notifications can only be sent for specific edits (and you can't thank people for thanks); to send one, you must navigate to the history of a page and click the "thank" option next to the edit in question. Let me know if you need further clarification on how to do this.
I understand your frustration of the article being moved to draftspace before you had a chance to work on it. This is something that happens often and not at all something to be worried about. When you first created the article, there weren't any links to sources to verify the information, and it remained that way for several hours. Having an article moved to draftspace does not mean it's going to be deleted; it just means that the mover is giving the author a chance to work on it some more before it becomes a mainspace article again. Now, are we expected for an article to be perfect in its initial creation? Absolutely not. But you should have a list of sources for all the information in any mainspace article probably within an hour of its creation; they don't necessarily have to be inline, even, as long as they aren't direct quotations or possibly controversial material. If you can't do that, that is completely understandable; people become busy or have other issues in real life. A possible option would be to start a draft of the article as a user subpage and then move it to mainspace yourself once you think it's ready. As you probably know, sourcing is very important to establish both notability and verifiability and probably the most important thing to have in an article; if an article needs a bit of cleanup or formatting fixes, reviewers can easily fix it themselves and the article is most likely not worth moving to draftspace.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, --SkyGazer 512 My talk page 02:39, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

'Did you know' nomination for Milton Keynes

If it amuses you, perhaps you might do the review of template:Did you know nominations/Milton Keynes?

No need to reply. If you don't have time, you don't have time. Thank you for even considering it. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:57, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi John Maynard Friedman, thanks for reaching out. I'm happy that the GA passed and that you nominated it for DYK. I don't think I could commit myself to a full review, particularly making sure that the cited source is reliable and explicitly mentions the hook content, however I've looked over the article and hook a bit and compared them to the DYK criteria. It's obviously new enough, within policy, etc. One minor issue I noticed: the hook is currently a bit long, it's at exactly 200 characters when the DYK rules states that hooks must be fewer than 200 characters. I think that "that among the smaller villages and hamlets" is unneeded detail – I'd suggest using an alt, something like "that Broughton, Loughton and Woughton on the Green, three villages in Milton Keynes, each use a different pronunciation of the ough letter sequence in English" (which is about 160 characters); adding links and bolding when necessary, of course. I hope this suggestion is helpful and sorry for not being able to do a full review.--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 02:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, I completely missed the 200 character limit. I like your suggested reword and will apply. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:23, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
  • An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
  • An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news

  • The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion. You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
  • Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution! The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

Approved DYK nomination for Katherine Hughes (activist)

Hi, it's me again. I noticed that my nomination was approved in DYK, but I have no idea what the next steps are (or if I'm involved in them). I noticed that there's a queue and prep area, but I don't know how they work or how it affects the main page. Clovermoss (talk) 19:22, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Hey Clovermoss, congrats on getting it approved! For now, there's nothing you have to do. At some point (usually at most a few weeks from approval), a user who is experienced with DYK will look at the nomination and if there are problems ask if they can be addressed or otherwise promote the hook to a preparation area, which is basically where hook sets are prepared. After that, an admin will move them to a queue (if they don't notice any problems), which usually takes a few days, and a bot will move the queue to the main page at the appropriate time. Basically someone could ask for you to address issues with the hook anytime during this process, but you'll most likely be notified about it, especially if you have the DYK page on your watchlist. Hope this helps!--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 21:27, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Currently it's in prep area #2. I guess that means that it's already been promoted? Clovermoss (talk) 21:46, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Yep, now all that needs to be done is an admin move it to one of the queues and then a bot add it to the main page at the appropriate time.--SkyGazer 512 My talk page 23:08, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello SkyGazer 512,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.
