Hi. Just as a tip, you should combine the two Wikidata calls into one like [1] and [2] to always be sure that the retrieved qualifier belongs to the retrieved property. thayts💬 11:45, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Thayts, thank you very much! I will do from now on.

A cup of coffee for you!

Expanding your activities.

[edit]

Imogen, really pleased to see Leeds Uni joining into WP. Apart from the work you are doing there is a lot that could be done regarding articles about the University itself especially buildings and people. If you decide to widen your activities please let me know as it's an area I'd like to develop and your access to the library resources would probably be invaluable.

  • Hi Nthep, thanks for getting in touch! There are discussions about this happening currently. I will let you know if the project develops. Great to hear you're enthusiastic.
Great, let me know if there are any meetings etc as I still life fairly locally. As an example of what can be achieved is my last edit to The Gryphon where I'm guessing at the date of the first issue. If it's available via Special Collections and the date can be referenced this would be a good impreovement. Nthep (talk) 14:09, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Pmokeefe. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to John Ruskin— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Pmokeefe (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]


I made a mistake, my apologies. I believe another editor caught the error and has already restored your contribution. Thank you! Pmokeefe (talk) 17:00, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timothyjosephwood was: Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Hi, as you know I think this worth resubmitting. Perhaps you could humour the reviewer with some small changes (I suggest you remove most of the boldface as we only use this for the name at the top) to reduce the impression of the article being all about individual books, tidy it up a bit in a few other ways, and try again. I've done a little very minor tidying up myself (and I've now finished doing that!). Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:14, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to say that it would be great (and would directly answer the reviewer's comments) if you developed the section "Books which discuss the Cookery Collection": you already have the refs, so a few words about what each book says about the collection, and even a few quotes, would demonstrate the notability of the collection, and show that the article was focused on the topic. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:00, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In response to a reviewer over at Drafts, I've added a COI declaration below; you might like to add "yes" after the equals sign to say you declare yourself, which I assume you want to do. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:52, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

[edit]

Hi Imogen - thanks for saying hello on my page. This is me saying hello on yours...Just experimenting (I tend to live on Twitter!)

The only other thing I've done Wikipedia wise, other than the odd OA link (https://leedsunilibrary.wordpress.com/2017/07/14/wikipedia-information-literacy-and-open-access/) is to add my name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access/Members — Preceding unsigned comment added by OAnick (talkcontribs) 10:37, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. There has been some unresolved controversy among editors about how we want use Wikidata on Wikipedia. In regards to something like this:

{{wikidata|qualifier|property|P485|Q24568958|P856|format=\[%q %p\]}}

we don't currently have any guidelines for or against it. However in my opinion it's a very cryptic and hard-to-read way to provide a simple link. It is possible, but uncertain, that we might create a rule against it in the near future. If we do restrict or exclude Wikidata links then those links would all wind up getting re-written. If you add more of these archive links, my suggestion is to just make them a direct links like this:

[https://library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections-explore/8427 Leeds University Library]

In my opinion that's a lot more clear, and it would avoid getting entangled in the ongoing Wikidata controversy. Some of the inter-editor arguments on the issue have been getting a bit heated. Alsee (talk) 23:24, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
