Imagereqs

Whilst your enthusiasm for tagging wih {{photo requested}} is to be commended, might I gently ask you to understand how the system works before you tag any more? It relies on articles being placed in a category that actually exists, and before tagging with {{photo requested|Scientists}} you should have checked that the corresponding category of Category:Wikipedia requested images of Scientists actually existed. Which it doesn't, because most categories use normal "sentence" capitalisation so you should have used a lower-case "scientists", and you would have found that Category:Wikipedia requested images of scientists is a redirect to Category:Wikipedia requested images of scientists and academics. Which has full instructions on how to add articles to it - notably you can add via | needs-photo = yes | s&a-work-group = yes on the WPBio template. Several of the articles you tagged had | needs-photo = y (which doesn't work) rather than | needs-photo = yes. Le Deluge (talk) 18:04, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Will Wikipedia celebrate 6,000,000 articles? We did celebrate 2,000,000 way back.

Also, did I miss a January meeting? Maybe we skip to February.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 19:23, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Mary Mark Ockerbloom, since Achaea has not edited on Wikipedia since April 4, someone else will be needed to shepherd this nomination through. You have already worked on the article in the course of its DYK review; might you be willing to do more? If not, I'm afraid that we're going to end up having to close the nomination, which is well over two months old at this point. Please let me know as soon as you're back to editing. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:46, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Herman Pines Wikipedia entry

Just came across your bio of Herman Pines and want to thank you. Pines was my grandfather, and as a kid I spent every summer with him and my grandmother at their home in Evanston. Delighted to see this comprehensive piece here - thanks for making it happen. I made a couple of minor edits to spelling of names, but it's a very good piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hedgenog56 (talkcontribs) 12:57, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

@Hedgenog56: Thank you so much! You realize, I have to ask, is there any possibility that you have a photograph of him, taken by yourself or another family member, that you could upload?
