Harriet Edquist[edit]
Hi Charity. I'm glad to see you are contributing useful new articles to Wikipedia. I have undertaken quite a bit of copy editing on Harriet Edquist in the hope that you will benefit from the changes when writing further articles. While the information presented and the level of language were of a high standard, you have a tendency to overlink. In particular, you should not link to external sites in the running text (although you are welcome to add external links in the form of references, usually at the end of a sentence). You should not repeat the wikilinks throughout an article. One wikilink per item is usually sufficient unless you see some particular need to repeat it when it is particularly important in a new section in a long article. When compiling lists (of publications, awards, etc.), just use an asterisk at the beginning of each item. I think these are the main points. I hope you don't mind my bringing them all up here. I'm sure you will not find it too difficult to implement them in the future. I look forward to seeing many more interesting articles and contributions from you. If ever you need any help, just let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 07:57, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks so much --Ipigott, this is all super helpful advice! I had been worried as my first new article for Wikipedia was speedily deleted after too few citations so yes, I think I have overcompensated here. Cheers for clearing that up for me Charityedwards (talk) 11:55, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- We have been trying our best to reduce unreasonable requests for speedy deletion of women's biographies but it is not always easy to catch them in time. I'm pleased to see you are prepared to continue to participate. Some new editors are frightened off permanently after their first article has been deleted. One more thing: I noticed you had not used the Defaultsort (placed just before the categories) and I have now included it. By specifying Edquist, Harriet, rather than Harriet Edquist, you will ensure the article is correctly placed in alphabetical listings, e.g. in connection with each of the categories. And if you happen to know Edquist personally, you could perhaps act her is she could provide a photo for inclusion on Wikipedia.--Ipigott (talk) 12:31, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for participating in Women in architecture[edit]
Thank you for your participation in the Women in Architecture Virtual Edit-a-thon, 15–25 October 2015, sponsored by the Guggenheim Museum, and hosted by Women in Red. In addition to upgrades, we created about 170 new articles. Your contributions are appreciated! --Ipigott (talk) 15:11, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
