Kirsten Jensen

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like Kirsten Jensen are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
Do not add articles to acronym or initials disambiguation pages unless the person or entity is widely known by that name (in which case it should be stated in the linked article).

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the guidance. I added the scientist Kirsten Jensen because she was recognized as an International Rising Talent of the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards in 2019, and is mentioned on that page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Or%C3%A9al-UNESCO_For_Women_in_Science_Awards#2019_International_Rising_Talents .

As you know, Kirsten Jensen leads to a disambiguation page where she is not mentioned. I wasn't sure what to do in that case.Sc ex nat (talk) 15:57, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kirsten Jensen (the scientist) is obviously young and at the early part in her career, so she may not yet be notable by Wikipedia standards. You could simply wait a few years and perhaps there will be enough reliable sources to write an article about her. Alternatively, if there is an existing article that is relevant to Jensen, she could be added to that article. Then that article could be used as the 'blue link' for adding her to the disambiguation page as a DABMENTION. Leschnei (talk) 12:49, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

thank you again - that is exactly what I was trying to do, as she is mentioned in the article L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards.

Now, thanks to you, I know how! Or should I just forget it? This whole thing started because she is mentioned in this article L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards , where every name of laureates / young talents are linked, red or blue, and her link leads to a disambiguation page where she is not mentioned. That seemed wrong. I absolutely understand that it is too early for her to have her own article. Now I don't know if I should just leave it alone or not. Sorry.... Perhaps I should take this to the teahouse? Sc ex nat (talk) 15:57, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, the mistake is mine! I saw the 'https://' that you included in your edit summary and mistakenly concluded that you had used an external link instead of a Wikipedia article! I have reverted my undo and made a few further edits. In addition, I changed the link in L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards to Kirsten Jensen (scientist). Sorry for the confusion; I'll have to be more careful in the future! Leschnei (talk) 01:05, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
