Hello Lucy, this is just to appreciate your sharing on the knowledge circle. I have always been interested in creating spaces and engagement for women (researches online). I wish to create articles for women. I love Wikipedia most amongst all the Wikimedia project, probably because I love research. My issue will be seeking the list of women to create. I hope to make more impact. Ngostary2k (talk) 16:46, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I have another one that will have more references for sure if you're interested: Ohio Women's Convention at Akron in 1851. It's where Sojourner Truth gave her "Ain't I a Woman?" speech. I'm so glad you're interested in helping out. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:30, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Megalibrarygirl: I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to make this article live - it's here now Ohio Women's Convention at Akron in 1851 - I really struggled to find any info about it (apart from the Sojourner Truth story). If you've got any tips, please let me know! I'll have a look a Massillon. Lajmmoore (talk) 21:37, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lajmmoore, I added an image. :) Some of these conventions are really hard to track down. They were talked about during their time, but historians have ignored a lot of them. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:56, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your impressive beginning. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Alarichall submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

It is my pleasure to nominate Editor Lajmmoore to be this weeks Editor of the Week. This user has been a Wikipedian for just under two years, but in that time has created over 200 articles in English Wikipedia. Their start in life on Wikipedia doesn't seem to have been the easiest: their first two articles were deleted, but they were not put off, and rose above initial problems (with some [help from me]) to successfully recreate those articles and to create many more since with no difficulties. They have focused their efforts on extending Wikipedia's biographical coverage of women from the Global South, helping to correct a well known bias in Wikipedia's coverage. Where I have seen their editing work, I have been very impressed at their ability to track down and assimilate reliable information about important figures about whom information is not readily available on the Internet, including dealing with source materials in languages other than English (e.g. Aïcha Ben Abed, Paulina (wife of Pammachius), Fatima al-Suqutriyya). They have done their editing work in particular through active involvement in Women in Red (along with other projects), and notices on their talk page evidence a string of successes in getting pages they have created onto 'did you know?', again bespeaking their enthusiastic engagement with the wider Wikipedia community. I note too that they are doing a PhD and are contributing material to Wikipedia in the course of their research: User:Lajmmoore/PhD Research. I've had many PhD students of my own and, while all lovely people, they are uniformly fabulously reluctant to share their knowledge in this way. Lajmmoore points the way towards a more open future for academia, and a greater willingness among the gatekeepers of the world's knowledge to share it.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Women silversmiths

Not sure if this is the sort of thing that might be up your alley, but a couple of years ago I purchased this catalogue from the National Museum of Women in the Arts gift shop:

Philippa Glanville; Jennifer Faulds Goldsborough; National Museum of Women in the Arts (U.S.) (1990). Women Silversmiths, 1685–1845: Works from the Collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Thames and Hudson. ISBN 978-0-500-23578-2.

I've pretty well bled it dry of all the women in NMWA's collection (they claim to have the most extensive collection of silver by women silversmiths of any museum, which I quite believe), but there are a lot of other names listed, in case you ever want to follow it up. Not sure about notability, unfortunately, but at least it's a starting point.

Incidentally, if you ever do get to the Washington, DC area, I highly recommend NMWA for a visit - it's a fine little museum, very nicely done. One of my favorites in the city, honestly. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 17:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Hello. I noticed that someone with a masked IP published a false information about me here. A search on Google in English and Farsi clearly reveals that I am not a self-claimed thinker and artist as my biography has been published in the media. Moreover, several authors have published it in their books and many reviews on my works have also been published in journals. Some of these sedondary sources are available on the Web. The reason why this person with a hidden IP has published this false information about me on Wikipedia is that I have worked in different fields. However, as I explained here this hostility is not justified. As you have created this entry about me on Wikipedia, if he or she publishes again any false information about me, please remove it. Thanks. Taraneh Javanbakht — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.23.194.41 (talk) 12:32, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the message - I'm sorry I missed the vandalism. In case it happens again, I'll ask a few other editors to keep an eye on it as well. Lajmmoore (talk) 14:03, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Need a little help pls

Hello, Lajmmoore I trust you're well. Kindly help me out with this image of a late Nigerian first lady. Working on her article and couldn't find a free image. Does the image above qualify for Fair use like you did with Felicia?? Thanks really!--OtuNwachinemere (talk) 13:45, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OtuNwachinemere, hey! Lovely to hear from you! Since she's dead, you can use any image under the Fair Use terms. There's the "upload file" in the left hand tool bar, if you click that, then click "upload non-free file" then it will take you through a few questions. Step 1 is added the image, Step 2 is describing, then Step 3 is the more legal bit. Under Step 3 - select "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." Then there's a box for the page name, then in the next box, select "This is an historic portrait of a person no longer alive." This opens another box entirely! In that box - which starts "Deceased since" - you add when they died, and in the subsequent boxes where you got the image from, etc. If you don't know, put unknown. Then there's two further questions. The first is "Please explain why a free alternative to this image cannot be found." - here you want to say something like, "the subject is deceased, so a new image cannot be taken, and there are no images freely available". The next question is "Please explain why you are confident that our use of the file will not harm any commercial opportunities of its owner." - here you'd want to put something like "it is low resolution" The final question is "In view of this, please explain how the use of this file will be minimal." - here say something like - "it will be used in one article". There a box for "further relevant infomation" which you might have to click (but not put anything in) in order for you to be able to press upload. Let me know if you have any issues! If the steps feel like too much hassle, I'm happy to do it for you, just let me know! Lajmmoore (talk) 14:11, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssoome!!! Gosh I'm so excited at this new information. Thank you so much Lajmmoore. Really Thanks a whole lot. The many good things i will do with this solution. Thank you!--OtuNwachinemere (talk) 22:59, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So i completed the upload successfully but the infobox just won't display the photo, so i just inserted it above the box. that is ok?--OtuNwachinemere (talk) 23:01, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OtuNwachinemere, Perfect! I just checked, and you'd put the filename in the infobox area for "image caption" - but the box the filename goes in is just called "image". Easy to miss! Article looks great. Happy editing! Lajmmoore (talk) 06:51, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my bad! Thanks for helping me out Lajmmoore. Super thankful.--OtuNwachinemere (talk) 09:05, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I award you this barnstar in part because of your diligence in creating biographies about women who are associated with under-represented countries on English Wikipedia. But it's your creative depiction of this work, e.g. commons:File:Circular list of 20 countries with lowest % of biographies for women on EN Wikipedia - spring 2022.jpg, which amazes me with its awesomeness.

Hi, and wondering if you can help

I have been working on this draft for Onyx: Black Lesbian Newsletter for a couple years (lol). I just submitted it but I wondered if you could help me improve the article? I tried to find an image that I could use- there are a number floating around on library websites, for example SFPL but I wasn't sure if I could use them, & I'm also not sure how to insert images. Thanks! Fifthcoastbobcat (talk) 19:53, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fifthcoastbobcat, Congratulations! I remember you mentioning this page - so excellent its live! The library website link looks good to me - they are a trusted sources (I think). My other pro tip is to find sources using a search via Google Books, or Google Scholar. A quick scholar search showed https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J082v30n02_03 & https://www.jstor.org/stable/40545573 - lmk if you've got issues accessing them! Lajmmoore (talk) 07:44, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lajmoore

Thank you for your comments on my article on Wanjuhi Njoroge - they are very helpful as I am totally new to editing Wikipedia. I am a volunteer at the Science Musuem Group. I don't know how to get the article moved from Drafts but I can see on the Women in Red page that you seem to have it in hand. CuriosityScribe (talk) 09:49, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lajmmoore

Many thanks for your useful comments about my article on Sheila McGuffie. I have changed it a little and would be grateful if you can make it live if you think it's now ok. I wasn't sure if the additional 2 references you suggested (which I knew about but wasn't sure if they were suitable - so thanks for confirming that they are!) should be placed in an 'External Links' section or in the 'References' section -I chose the latter. I've searched quite a lot for more references for Shiela, including all the WES journals, but this is all I could come up with. Maybe once it's published others will be able to add to it. CuriosityScribe (talk) 12:57, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CuriosityScribe, Looks great! I've added a tag and done a little copy edit - there's one place where adding a reference is needed. To improve, you could also add some sentences linked to the info in the infobox! e.g. She went to University at + reference. Happy editing! Lajmmoore (talk) 13:55, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CuriosityScribe, you could also add her name to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/184 page Lajmmoore (talk) 13:57, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lajmmoore

I have recently published a couple of Wiki pages on Women in STEM - Ella Mary Collin and Kathleen Mary Cook. If I search for each of them in the Search Wikipedia box they come up, but if I Google search for them neither show up! I presume I did something wrong when moving them from my Sandbox. I used the 'Move' option under More and it seemed to work. I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks. CuriosityScribe (talk) 19:32, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CuriosityScribe, congratulations on your new articles! Amazing work! So, I imagine it is something to do with the fact you're pages might be going through a sort of "triage" system, where another editor sort of signs them off? I don't help with it, usually, but I'll try and find the policy and the description and get back to you! Lajmmoore (talk) 07:03, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CuriosityScribe, so I think the process is detailed as part of this and what you're waiting for *I think* is a review: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Page_Curation/Help#What_is_Mark_as_Reviewed_and_how_does_it_work?

It's not something I any of, so I would suggest asking the same question you put above on the Women in Red talk page and I imagine someone there might be able to help! Happy editing Lajmmoore (talk) 07:13, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Jacquetta Hawkes

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Jacquetta Hawkes you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Ko rabwa

Hi, I have discovered the article binabinaaine and add some minor infos from a Gilbertese point of view (te aine means simply the woman in Gilbertese, same word fafine in Tuvaluan). There is nothing in the article about binabinamwaane (women that acts like they are men), that exist in the Kiribati society but unfortunately I have never seen an English essay about this close category.--Arorae (talk) 10:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much Arorae - your edits are brilliant - they are really appreciated. You can add sources that aren't in English to the article, so if there's something in Gilbertese or another language then that would be a brilliant addition. It's something I had wondered about, but like you say - could not find a source. Lajmmoore (talk) 11:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Mahlagha Mallah

Your GA nomination of Jacquetta Hawkes

The article Jacquetta Hawkes you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Jacquetta Hawkes for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Mass messenger

Thanks so much for considering joining the WIR MMS crew—since MegaLibraryGirl is mostly offline and Rosiestep’s hands are tied as a trustee, I’d be so grateful for backup. It’s really not technically hard at all—only a bit daunting as far as so many people receiving it! But the task itself is just three blanks to fill in (subject line; source code of the invite, already proofread at that point; and the name of the page that has the addressees, helpfully saved on the page where we draft the invite).
I can show you exactly, if that sounds like something you’re up for! Innisfree987 (talk) 03:56, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Innisfree987 yeah, I'll help out. I'll look for the guidance (I'm assuming there is some!) - do I need to ask for special permissions for my account (I'm not an admin)? Cheers Lajmmoore (talk) 11:22, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So many thanks! Guidance is at WP:MMS and yes it’s a special perm. You see that to request it, they usually like to see someone’s previously submitted a request to have a mass message sent, to demonstrate understanding of the guidelines. We could try to get our act together well in advance of January so you could make a request to have them send the invite to notch one (might be feasible actually; two editathon pages are already started). Or you could just request an exemption as I did. Either way, I’m happy to write out an exact sample as a model. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:05, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Innisfree987: ... oh I could join in with this as well. Might not need permission as I'm an admin but need to check. Victuallers (talk) 13:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers, oh that would be great too, and I do think you already have the permission, as an admin. When you go to: Special:MassMessage, can you see a form to fill out? Innisfree987 (talk) 20:03, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

WiR translation contest

Hi there, Lajmmoore, and thanks for participating in our translation contest. Unfortunately, with 108 words Veasna Chea Leth is still too short. To qualify for the contest it has to have at least 160 words of running text. I realize the Catalan article is just as short but if you can find additional material, you can expand the article and return it to the main contest list. Otherwise you should start with longer articles in other language versions.--Ipigott (talk) 10:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Access dates etc

Well done for creating the missing Yangsze Choo.

Don't forget, when re-using a ref from another article, to update the access date. When I see refs with access dates earlier than the first creation of the article, my first thought is that someone has copied a chunk of another article, unacknowledged. Not the case here obvs, just saving work by using the ready-formatted ref, but the access-date should always be saying "this is the date on which I consulted that website, so the state of it on that day supports the statement I'm sourcing" - useful if the site disappears and someone is hunting it down in archive sites, or if it's a fast-changing website.

I've also added publication dates to some of the refs, always good to include ( but not all-numeric, per MOS), ditto authors. Not sure what to do the Tatler Asia ref - some editors put "staff" as author-name. And undated too!

Ah well. The NI Troubles are rearing their head in Big Jubilee Read. And so it goes. Cheers. PamD 22:31, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tips @PamD - it's obvious now you point it out that the copy/pasting didn't change the date, my bad! Well done for all your work on the page itself! Lajmmoore (talk) 06:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WiR A-Z

Hallo, Good to see this set up and ready to go, but I wonder, belatedly, if it's a bit confusing at present?

Might it be clearer to cut out "active in climate topics", as that suggests that we're limited to that ... or we could add as a separate sentence: "As there is a whole-year project on "Climate", any A-B women active in climate topics would be especially appropriate" or something like that?

And "Contributors are of course also welcome to add articles on any other women who deserve to be covered, for example under the topics of the month or our comprehensive #1day1woman priority." seems a bit strange/superflouos?

OTOH we could explicitly mention "See below for some general lists of women missing from Wikipedia, from which you might like to choose an A or B this month"? And/or perhaps "If you've got a "To Do List" of "Articles to write some day", are there any As and Bs just waiting for this month's editathon?"

It somehow doesn't quite hang together. But, I know, I shouldn't criticise unless I'm willing to do the work! Thanks for all your efforts.

I've realised that today's "following trails down rabbit-holes" article creation of Lynn Buckle could have ticked the box if I'd left her till tomorrow (I don't believe in these "early start" entries!), but I'm sure I'll find someone else, possibly even an A/B climatologist from a Baltic state. All the best. PamD 15:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @PamD - I think the issue is I used the climate page as a basis, but those bits you highlighted should have been cut out alrady, but got missed in the copy editing. Would you be OK to cut them out? Thanks for picking this up! Lajmmoore (talk) 05:37, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

National Trust

Hi, I saw your note on the Knightshayes Court Talkpage and wanted to drop by to say hello, and offer any assistance. My interest is mainly architecture, and I’ve worked on a fair few NT articles, including four that have made FA, Chartwell, Cragside, Sissinghurst Castle Garden and Ham House. If I can help in any way, just ping me. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 17:11, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @KJP1 thank you so much for messaging. I'm doing a recce of NT pages at the moment, but I'll be sure to get in touch with you - especially if we end up considering nominating any changes to any of those pages you mention. Happy editing! Lajmmoore (talk) 17:39, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your declaration of COI on Lundy I have also worded on several NT related articles (particularly in Somerset including getting List of National Trust properties in Somerset to FL status with many being GA articles in their won right). I wasn't aware thet National Trust was a redirect to the UK National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty rather than the other NTs at National Trust (disambiguation). You might want to take a look at Category:National Trust properties in England as I believe there are some which have articles which are not included in the category. If you need help let me know.— Rod ^talk 19:26, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much @Rodw and thanks for the pointers - I'll be sure to look at your suggestions and get in touch, especially with Somerset-related things! Thanks again Lajmmoore (talk) 07:47, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to add my insignificant voice to those of these fine and major editors – I was pleased to see your work and your highly ethical and clear declarations. What a nice gig to have – enjoy! Cheers DBaK (talk) 16:03, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much @DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered, and thanks for the appreciation of the ethics. Thanks for your work on the existing NT pages already! Lajmmoore (talk) 16:07, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's very kind of you, thank you. I have also emailed you about non-out-able type stuff! Cheers DBaK (talk) 16:19, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to add my petulant whinging voice to those of these fine and major editors. I am particularly interested in the current policy that the Trust has on the use of interior images of properties, which are sometimes very sadly lacking at articles for NT properties. Many thanks and I wish you every success in your project. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:46, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much @Martinevans123 - really appreciate your honesty! I'm not familiar with the background on NT image use - if you have time and inclination, would you be able to email me? It sounds like the kind of thing that my line manager would be interested in hearing more about. Lajmmoore (talk) 16:52, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can I add a comment here. NT does not allow reuse of images from their web site, (see https://www.nationaltrustimages.org.uk/pages/terms-and-conditions ) which limits editors ability to illustrate articles with good quality images of furniture, fixtures etc. Several people were surprised I was able to add images to Tyntesfield - one time when I visited the volunteer just said that I couldn't use flash but otherwise taking pictures for any use was fine. It would be good if NT managers considered appropriate Creative Commons license licences. Looking at the commons page on licencing may help.— Rod ^talk 17:13, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) It's not very complicated - I have enquired on a number of occasions at properties and the answer has always been "personal use only" (and why not, NT has to protect the value of it's wonderful guide books somehow). I have even emailed the Trust about specific properties and have been told "you can only post external ones at Wikipedia". I was just wondering if anything had changed, or if policy varies between properties. Will also try and email you anyway. Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. thanks for the info, Rod. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:16, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Rodw & thanks @Martinevans123 - I did wonder if it was along those lines. Its really interesting to hear both your experiences on obtaining images (or not); I can't promise any change, but I can promise to pass these comments on. Lajmmoore (talk) 17:20, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodw and @Martinevans123, I shared this talk page with the project manager on Tuesday, who was really interested in your comments. I'll be sure to give you an update if/when I have one Lajmmoore (talk) 15:59, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Structuring edits

Hello @Rodw:, Martinevans123, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered, KJP1, PamD please can I ask your advice? The next stage of the NT pilot is looking at enhancing pages that are in the "Top 10 Most Visited" properties list (on the NT page), with a view to removing citation needed tags. My question whether, as other editors, you would prefer it to be done on a reference by reference basis, or in one big scoop on a page? For clarity, I lean towards CN by CN, but I didn't know if there were other opinions? Thanks very much for the support and comments so far Lajmmoore (talk) 17:37, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Doing each citation needed tag individually allows other editors to see what & why you are doing (and possibly revert), but sometimes it is appropriate to do a load together particularly where one reference may support several claims in the article. If the existing referencing uses a variety of formats which would be better harmonised (& added to) then I will sometimes copy it into a sandbox & do multiple edits before copyoing it back into the article - see my recent edit to Buscot Park trying to provide some of the citations you asked for.— Rod ^talk 17:44, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

e/c Hi Lajmmoore. No preference from me. Whatever is easiest, I suppose. Once a good source is found, it often can be reused in the same article. Articles do vary, though, on the style of citations, which should always be consistent. But I guess you know this. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As with others, whatever is easiest. As an aside, and you may well know them, the Historic England and Cadw templates are VERY helpfu, e.g.{{NHLE|num=1211481|desc=Queen’s House|grade=I|access-date=4 July 2022}} I’m constantly surprised that they aren’t used more often in UK architecture articles, e.g The Queen’s House, Greenwich, which I was looking at today, doesn’t. They provide an invaluable link to the HE/CADW listings - and can give you a lot of cites! KJP1 (talk) 17:48, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. - Have you thought of archiving your Talkpage! KJP1 (talk) 17:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1 *guilty* Lajmmoore (talk) 16:03, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Whichever works for you: but, please, if you're using Visual Editor can you somehow give your references decent names? I loathe and detest the ":0" etc ref names which VE produces: they make it so difficult to keep track of sources if you're revising an article later. I don't know whether VE has any option to use sensible ref names, or whether it would be a case of adding them manually. VE's ref naming goes against WP:REFNAME which specifically says "Names should have semantic value, so that they can be more easily distinguished from each other by human editors who are looking at the wikitext. This means that ref names like "Nguyen 2010" are preferred to names like ":31337"" But that's just one of my hobby-horses. This was raised in the "Community wishlist survey", and ranked 5th, but seems to have gone quiet with a pretty unhelpful alternative proposal. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019/Results. (Hmm, I might follow round your list of NT properties and see if they all have all the necessary redirects, dab page entries, etc, talking of my hobby-horses!) PamD 19:59, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article titles

There's a whole interesting issue about what the articles should be called. I've looked at Category:National Trust properties in Cumbria and its child Category:National Trust properties in the Lake District. "Sizergh Castle and Garden" was presumably NT's official name for it at one point, though in the current handbook it's plain Sizergh, and common parlance would call it Sizergh Castle (an existing redirect). Is the article about the historic building (or chunk of landscape) per se, or about the NT's property? Some interesting articles like Windermere and Troutbeck, again presumably an NT estate-management handle, completely unreferenced but for an EL to the NT info on Townend, not mentioned in the text! (I wondered about AfDing that one, as it seems pretty useless). We have Wiki article Wasdale, Eskdale and Duddon, which NT website treats as two separate entities, W and E&D. You've got an interesting task, trying to optimise Wiki articles for NT properties. I created a few redirects and spent far too long on a new dab page at Stagshaw. Have fun. (By chance I'm seeing my Elgar connection tomorrow, first time for a year, and will ask her about current situation - though not sure whether she still works there). PamD 22:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all these ideas @PamD - I think this is the kind of thing I'll be tacking in a couple of weeks! Will keep you posted. Lajmmoore (talk) 16:04, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It turns out my Elgar connection hasn't been involved with the place since shortly after the NT takeover - an acrimonious parting of ways - so she has no idea what the current status is! But the article clearly needs an update. Good luck with the project. PamD 20:24, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Farnborough Hall

I reverted your last edit at Farnborough Hall because it was in the middle of a run of edits by a COI or possibly hoax editor, see Wikipedia:Help desk#Farnborough Hall for Mr. Getty. TSventon (talk) 01:49, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for letting me @TSventon - I'll steer clear until the situation calms down. Lajmmoore (talk) 18:00, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article for Creation, but for a redirect?

Hello @PamD, @KJP1, @DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered, @Rodw, @Martinevans123 and @TSventon, thanks so much for previously offering advice. I have another question which I would really appreciate some help with. One of the new pages that has been requested as part of pilot is for the Dolmelynllyn Estate in Gwynedd, which already is a redirect. I've made a draft for the page in my sandbox (a couple of gaps still to fill though), but what I can't work out is what process to follow (or where the appropriate WP rules are) so filling out a redirect can still go through the AfC process? Do any of you know? Or have experience in this? Or would you suggest posting at the AfC talk page? I did start a discussion, which led to this question at WP:Wales; it was there that I realised this might be more complex than I had supposed. As ever, very grateful for your time and guidance. Happy editing Lajmmoore (talk) 11:16, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this excellent question. I am looking forward to watching you get brilliant advice from my friends, whilst I look on cluelessly and hope to learn something! Cheers and keep up the good work DBaK (talk) 11:25, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you can use AfC if you prefer. Generally you should be able to move User:Lajmmoore/sandbox to Dolmelynllyn Estate yourself, as the destination is a redirect with no further history. (Don't forget to select article space rather than user space, which I often do.) If for some reason that doesn't work, you can use WP:RMT to get a pagemover to move the draft for you. TSventon (talk) 11:29, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon: I think this editor is using AfC because she's a declared paid editor and doing things properly, so although in practical terms she could do that, that's not the issue. I think just use AfC as usual, and then the editor who approves it at AfC will have to delete the redirect before moving the article to mainspace. (But I have very little experience with AfC so may be talking through my hat.) PamD 11:49, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD:, thanks, that was what I was trying to say, once I had reread the question. TSventon (talk) 12:12, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @PamD and thanks @TSventon - that approach makes sense to me. I'd forgotten that an admin could perhaps delete the redirect prior to a move. Lajmmoore (talk) 15:02, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Short descriptions

Hallo, As I understand it the idea of the short description is to complement the title, aiming for 40 characters or less, so that someone with the title + short description can see whether it's the article they're looking for. I've trimmed the one for Elgar Birthplace Museum because I thought it was too long and duplicative. Wikipedia:Short description makes it clear that in some cases "none" is the most appropriate, if the title says it all. What do you think? PamD 11:13, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, looking at your "edit tracker" I see the project is well under way - only crossed my radar when you hit the Elgar Birthplace, as I created that one a long time back (a friend worked there and it seemed good and notable, and it was probably before Short Descriptions were a thing!) Reading the section WP:SDNOTDEF matches my thoughts on what a SD should be, pretty much: not duplicating the title, and putting key distinguishing words near the front. "House" is probably more useful than "Grade II listed building" for Allan Bank, don't you think? PamD 11:37, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But more important for Elgar Birthplace Museum than the short desc is probably an update needed: it says "For the five years 2017–2021 the museum will be administered by the National Trust ..."! But doubtless you're working on it (looks as if you're working through a batch of SDs and talkpage declarations, prior to getting seriously stuck in to those articles, judging by your contributions of today). Good luck with the project. PamD 11:43, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @PamD that's for sending the SD guidelines - I think I installed the SD helper, but forgot to *actually* read the guideline. & yes, I'm just doing a quick recce of NT pages, to see what's what. I'm not sure if this project will enable me to tackle EBM, as I'm sorting out priorities to cover next week, but I'll keep it in mind. Cheers! Lajmmoore (talk) 13:15, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Powis Castle

Hi, I’m wondering if you might be able to do me a favour. I did some work on Powis Castle a while back. The article’s in pretty good shape, and it could be pushed forward to GA/FA at some future point. One thing it is lacking is a decent photograph of the restored Marquess Gate. I don’t know whether any of the staff/volunteers at Powis are Wiki users, but if they were able to take a photo or two and upload it, that would be very helpful. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 16:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @KJP1 I can certainly pass the request on. The page looks fantastic and it would be really wonderful to GA/FA I agree! Lajmmoore (talk) 18:42, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I like collaborations. I did a bit to help User:Isaksenk take Ham House to FA. She volunteers there. And both Cragside and Sissinghurst Castle Garden were joint efforts. If you, or any of the staff/volunteers, would like to try to take Powis forward, I’d certainly be up for that. KJP1 (talk) 20:13, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Penrhyn Castle

Hi Lajmmoore,

I’ve been thinking about your NT project a bit more. I wonder if there’s something that could be done with Penrhyn Castle. It’s a striking example of some of the issues the Trust, and society, need to address. And it’s a good, but not unique, example of the current culture wars being played out here and more widely. You’ve got an amazing 19th century building, stacked with important artwork. But it was built on the exploitation of slaves and maintained by the, lesser but still ruthless, exploitation of Welsh slate workers. How does the Trust respond to that, and how does Wikipedia in its article on the building? No answers, but it’s an article that prompts strong views and throws up some challenging issues. KJP1 (talk) 21:54, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @KJP1 thanks so much for bringing this up, and raising all these questions. I've passed them on to the NT manager who is responsible for this pilot, although I'm not sure I'll have time to address much as there's 7 days work currently left. I'm going to try to set some time aside to look at the page history thoroughly though. Thanks again for being thoughtful and supportive around this pilot. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - reflecting on it, I did think it was a big ask for your short pilot! But I do think Penrhyn Castle throws up some big issues, for the Trust and for Wikipedia, that we’re all going to need to reflect on and respond to. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 07:39, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1 if Lajmmoore doesn't have time, could you add some notes to the article talk page? The starting point should probably be how reliable sources are responding to the issues. TSventon (talk) 08:24, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1 & @TSventon I passed this on the pilot manager, who sent a couple of links which could be used to expand the content. I'll add them to Penrhyn Castle's talk page now. Lajmmoore (talk) 09:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

cc. @TSventon - Hi Lajmmoore, hope you are keeping well. I have given Penrhyn Castle a bit of a wash-and-brush up. If you, or TS, have time, I would be interested in any thoughts on it, particularly the Slavery and Slate section. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 14:24, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KJP1 Thanks! I'll take a look this week! Lajmmoore (talk) 08:19, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All the info I found was confusing to me. --HelgaWKraft (talk) 09:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@HelgaWKraft hello apologies for the delay in replying, I was away. It is not advisable to edit your own Wikipedia page, but what you could do is leave a message on its talk page (kind of like a noticeboard), requesting that another editor make your suggested changes. Please include some references to support the infomation (a url is fine). There's a blue button on the talk page that says "Start discusion" - I would use that.

Question from Rashiyisroel (13:59, 21 September 2022)

Hello Lajmmoore. Thank you for being my editor mentor. The article about me which was in wikipedia for many years was removed because I am still alive and for lack of references. I have added the references and wish to submit it again. Please Help!

Rashi Yisroel Shapiro American Orthodox Rabbi, Psychologist, Musician

Dr. Rashi Shapiro is a prominent leader in the Orthodox Jewish world of psychology. He was born in 1953 in Washington, D.C .and was named after the great rabbinical sage and biblical commentary, Rashi. His father Rabbi Aharon Shapiro was rabbi in Linden, NJ and Queens, NY. and a professor of economics. His mother, Marta Berl Shapiro, was a professor of English literature and at age 50 became a lawyer.

Rabbi and Psychologist Rashi was ordained rabbi at age 23 by Rabbi Abba Berman at Bais Medrash Iyun Hatalmud, Monsey, NY. His first position in 1975 was a teacher in the Mesivta of Greater Miami. In 1978 he took his first pulpit at Congregation Ohr Hachaim of Miami Beach. He was also the director of the Horeb Seminary for Women, a division of the Talmudic University of Florida. He also taught at the Hillel Day School in North Miami Beach. [1] The rabbinate required counseling intervention with families in the community, and Rabbi Shapiro trained in social work at Barry University, Miami where he completed his MSW in 1982. In that year, he founded and directed “Hypnotherapy and Counseling Centers of Miami”. During this period he perfected hypnosis for smoking cessation while researching past life regression. [2]

Upon coming to New York Rabbi Shapiro became the director of the Tikvah Clinic, the Orthodox Jewish mental health center of the New Hope Guild. In 1986 Rashi completed his doctorate in clinical psychology at Long Island University while also training at the Maimonides Mental Health Center and South Beach Psychiatric hospital. As director of the Tikvah clinic of New Hope Guild, Dr. Shapiro founded the program for psychological Se --Rashiyisroel (talk) 13:59, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rashiyisroel thank you for messaging, due to a variety of pressures unfortunately I don't think I am in a position to help at the moment. What I have done is posted this question at WP:WikiProject Judaism, so I would visit that page. I did take quick look at what you shared below, but I don't think there are sufficient secondary sources that prove notability (according to Wikipedia's guidelines). I would discourage you from trying to re-write it yourself, as that is a Conflict of Interest. I'm hopeful that someone in another WikiProject will have capacity to guide you. Lajmmoore (talk) 11:25, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Rashiyisroel (14:02, 21 September 2022)

continued article

As director of the Tikvah clinic of New Hope Guild, Dr. Shapiro founded the program for psychological Services to nursing homes where he trained and supervised 50 psychologists who treated the elderly.

In 1988 Dr. Shapiro created the day hospital at Pesach Tikvah – Hope Development in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn where he serviced the chasidic community of Satmar. He eventually became the executive director of the agency. [3] Since 1991 Dr. Shapiro has been devoted to his private practice and continues to consult in New York, while supervising in Israel and Florida. [6] Dr. Shapiro is currently training therapists in unique and unorthodox treatment strategies for the ultra-orthodox and chassidic community. He is singular in his promotion of group therapy for the orthodox Jewish community.

In 2004, Rashi Shapiro returned to his prior role as a rabbi to the summer pulpit, the Hebrew Congregation of Loch Sheldrake, NY. [4] [5] In 2022, he retired to the position of Rabbi Emeritus where he continues to teach the daily page of Talmud, Daf Yomi. [7]

n 1970, at the age of 17 Rashi Shapiro founded the first folk-rock Jewish music group named "Rashi and the Rishonim". [8] He gave concerts in the U.S. and in Israel often performing with the stars such as Shlomo Carlebach (The Singing Rabbi), the Rabbis' Sons and Theodore Bikel (prominent Jewish folk singer and actor) [9] The band received critical acclaim for their first album, but Rashi abruptly quit the band to pursue religious training in Israel.The album is, today, hailed by record collectors as one of the rarest and most desirable records in the genre of Jewish Folk Music. Personnel on the LP were Rashi Shapiro (vocals, Cordovox, guitar, harpsichord); Heshy Gruenberger (vocals (alto-tenor)), Shelly Lang (vocals, Duovox); Josh Neustein (vocals (baritone)); with Abby Warshaw, Yussie Lieber and Steven weiss on additional guitars, Yisroel Lamm and Sam Weiss on trumpets, Elliott Federman on drums, and Mickey Lane on bass guitar.

hi @Soapisdaddy I'd recommend going through the WP:The Wikipedia Adventure before you make any edits, to get to know how things function. Then, I would take a look at the style of articles similar to the one you have in mind. Next step is to assess the sources for the subject - do you have more than 3 trusted, independent and reliable sources to support the notability of the page? If you think you do, I would then go to WP:Articles for Creation and make a draft. Happy editing Lajmmoore (talk) 18:49, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Ayidris4real (02:24, 4 October 2022)

How do I edit on Wikipedia? --Ayidris4real (talk) 02:24, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hello @Ayidris4real I would strongly recommend working your way through WP:The Wikipedia Adventure - this will introduce you to how Wikipedia works and many of the available tools. Let me know when you've done that, or start a conversation at WP:The Tea House (which is a welcoming space for new editors). Welcome to the team! Lajmmoore (talk) 07:16, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dolmelynllyn Estate

Just so you know, I split a bunch of unrelated content from Dolmelynllyn Estate to User:Lajmmoore/sandbox/old. You are welcome to do whatever you wish with it (G7, leave it be, etc). Primefac (talk) 21:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Primefac thanks so much for being interested in the page. Could you put the details of the proposed split on Dolmelynllyn Estate's talk page where it can be discussed? Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 07:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a proposed split, I did split it. See Special:Log/138642599 and Special:PermaLink/1119134214#Requests_done; the content that is now at User:Lajmmoore/sandbox/old used to be in the history of the Estate, and has been split out. Primefac (talk) 07:54, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oohhhhhhh - my bad @Primefac I'm so sorry, I misunderstood. Every day is a school day, thanks for clarifying Lajmmoore (talk) 08:39, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from JTurner85 (12:48, 18 November 2022)

Hi

I hope you're well?

I work for a company called GEW (EC) Limited. We're a global manufacturer of UV curing systems in the printing industry, and the leading manufacturer of these across multiple applications within the industry. I've noticed that a number of our competitors have company pages but we don't seem to. How can I go about creating this page?

Thanks
