Hello! I left some feedback to your post on my talk page where I've tried to describe how the new system works as best as I understand it to, and gave additional feedback (thank you again for the opportunity to give it). The new system looks impressive, nice work! Take care Regards,  Spintendo  20:24, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Stamets RFC

Hi Bluerasberry, I see that you wrote on the Stamets RFC closure that "The RfC is fuzzy and not in the formal process." Could you elaborate on what you mean by "not in the formal process?"Dialectric (talk) 00:44, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

@Dialectric: There is not a strict rule about formal process but there was no rfc template which means no plan for calling for uninvolved third party comment and no end time planned as this went beyond the one-month norm now into 60 days. All this is fine. Templates are not required but it gives me pause wondering why this has gone on so long, and is there some reason for the lack of template. I think not; just this discussion happened this way. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:16, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Using a template to establish a clearer end time makes sense.Dialectric (talk) 02:45, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Sharing

Hi Blueraspberry! I just stumbled upon Wikipedia:WikiProject Sharing while going through a list of WikiProjects. It looks like you created it as a draft, but it never quite spread its wings and flew out into the world. Was there every any follow-up to this idea? I can't recall ever seeing any other location here or on Commons that fills this niche. Ajpolino (talk) 02:44, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey, same list, came upon Wikipedia:WikiProject Transporter Classification Database. Looks like this one didn't come together. I could move it to WP:Molecular Biology's space, or redirect there (or to their MCB taskforce, or to genewiki's page)? Or I can just mark it as a defunct WikiProject and move on. Thoughts?

Thanks for asking. About Sharing - I still like the idea, but no, there is not anywhere in Wikipedia any platform for publicly logging information requests. Yes, sort of, I am still experimenting with the idea. At meta:Right to information I have a draft system for the Wiki community to make requests to the Wikimedia Foundation, and at Wikipedia:Organization Wants Edit I have a system for surfacing corporate edit requests from private email into Wikipedia's public forums. I still want to work the idea but no, I have not identified others ready to go along. This sharing project has been stale for a while, but I would like to work it to sort information requests into wiki, from wiki, and internally in wiki.

For the database that was 2014 and nowadays integregations like that happen in Wikidata. Here is d:property:P7260. From the content perspective this seems like a molecular biology project but actually the solution to this was in Wikidata and not in any content interest. I marked it as historical.

Thanks for checking out both of these. If anything here interests you then I would talk more. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:08, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Great! I've added Wikipedia:Organization Wants Edit to my watchlist. I'd be happy to help respond to queries/requests from organization reps from time to time. A central clearing house for these requests seems superior to the current Category:Requested edits where requested edits seem to slip through the cracks sometimes. Also I agree it would aid community scrutiny to have a central board for this rather than semi-private email requests. Thanks for leading on this! If there's some way I can help let me know.

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Womxn Artists of the Pacific Northwest

Calendar page Jacob Lawrence Gallery — Calendar | School of Art + Art History + Design | University of Washington When Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019, 1 – 5 p.m. Campus location Art Building (ART) Campus room Jacob Lawrence Gallery Event types Special Events, Student Activities, Workshops Event sponsors Jacob Lawrence Gallery, School of Art + Art History + Design with support from Wikipedia and Art+Feminism Facebook event page www.facebook.com/events/2475807515865167/ Description Free parking is normally available on campus after 12pm on Saturdays. Check the Gallery's website for information about getting there. The ‘Big Four,’ or the four white male artists that comprised the Northwest School, were the subject of the famous 1953 LIFE magazine article, "Mystic Painters of the Northwest": Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. Each of these artists have robust pages on Wikipedia. However, key female-identifying artists from this time such as Margaret Gove Cafferman — who Mark Tobey cited as an influence on his work — lack Wikipedia articles. To help address the imbalance of representation on Wikipedia, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon focused on female-identifying artists of the Pacific Northwest. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, editing tutorials, books, and lists of artists will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event.

Request for suggestions of improvement

Hi Lane! I am a student in a WikiEd course at Rice University. I'm working on Immigrant health care in the United States and the bulk of my contributions have been on the section I added, titled "Health care in immigration detention centers," as well as some re-organizational efforts that I've described in my sandbox! I was wondering if you could take a look at my edits when you have the time, and let me know what improvements I can make! As well, I've struggled a little to find appropriate images to illustrate the article with, so I was wondering if you might have any thoughts on that. Thank you for the help!
