Research Project

Hi Stinglehammer I'm an anthropology student doing an online research project on wikipedians and their motivations and ideals for writing and editing wikipedia pages. I was wondering if you would be interested in answering a few questions I have - sort of like a small online interview.

Hi Stinglehammer - many thanks for hosting the WiR event earlier this week! I've had another go at a new page and have published one on Frances Murray (suffragist). I found quite a lot but since this is only my second entry I'd appreciate any feedback! --Louise WIR (talk) 17:36, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Stinglehammer

Published page on Emily Blathwayt, but maybe linked to the sandbox rather than properly published, any help welcome. I have put in some reverse links biography pages mentioned in the article created. hope this is ok

Kaybeesquared (talk) 13:38, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Stinglehammer

Almost completed a page on Emily Blathwayt, it is in my sandbox. Will try to complete over the next couple of days - and even upload if I can.. Happy Easter

HI Stinglehammer

Help! someone has added the picture to my new page on Agnes Husband (the one I have asked permission for) but I don't know if it was the museum/gallery who owns the copyright or who did it?

If they check on Monday they may think it was me and pursue breach of copyright (ugh?)!

Kaybeesquared (talk) 16:44, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

HI Stinglehammer Thank you for yesterday's session and help with page on Agnes Husband Your training and guidance were invaluable. You kindly offered to give me wording to write to institutions to request use of images to enhance the page. I would appreciate that advice. --Kaybeesquared (talk) 12:18, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Spy week activities

Thanks, Ewan, for all your efforts in connection with Spy Week. I see from here that quite a few people participated in your event. They also appear to have created a few more articles than the one posted under your "Outcomes". I have also added a link under your Outcomes to the WiR page listing articles created or improved during the WiR Women in Espionage virtual event which is continuing for a few more days. If you still have contacts with your participants, please inform them they are very welcome to continue their efforts under our Espionage editathon or join in any of the other virtual editathons under Women in Red, including Women Writers which is continuing until the end of the month. I, for one, will be happy to assist you and the newer participants if any of you run into any difficulties.--Ipigott (talk) 09:48, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

From the Recruiter's Desk at The Signpost (yes, I wear that hat, too)... Hi Ewan, @Victuallers and Ipigott:. Please consider writing an article for the SP regarding our Spy Week collaboration. Some of the tweets are absolutely awesome. Some of the stories (dentist turned Scandinavian Mata Hari) are compelling. Length of piece doesn't matter; informative + catchy does matter, e.g. we used "Shhh! Spies!" for the invitation header so something like that. In advance, thanks! --Rosiestep (talk) 15:30, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

@Victuallers, Rosiestep, Ipigott, and Megalibrarygirl: Hi. Sorry for just getting round to this but been super busy with OER16.

Hallo, I've just added a new section to User talk:Padraigin1 but it's appearing within the boundary of your previous edit to that page, the welcome template and associated messages about the editathon.

Hi Ewan, I'm so sorry but I'm going to have trouble attending tomorrow's wiki meetup. A member of staff called in sick and I'm going to have to work. I'll definitely miss the sharmanka performance, but I'll try and make to some of the wiki meetup if I can, although if work is busy I might miss it altogether... :( Elflin (talk) 20:37, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

@Elflin: No worries. No one else has officially signed up for it (got couple of maybes) so may just wait and see if anyone comes along and head off myself if not. Keep in touch though, hope to do this again and get a wee Glasgow Wiki scene going if poss. Btw, Sara said you've been looking at setting up something yourself? Would be good to learn more, but another time perhaps? Drop me an email with your preferences for venues and I'll happily set something up (and rope Sara in once she's recovered from the Beltane Fire Festival). Laters...

We want to test them for usability with editors who are experienced with relevant wiki work. If you’re interested in helping to shape this new technology—we’d like to hear from you.

The testing should take about an hour, will be conducted online, and will take place during the next few weeks. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org with the subject line Twinkle Welcomer. Include the following information:

• Username

• Email where we can reach you

• Your city or time zone

• Best time to talk to you

• Your primary use(s) of Twinkle or Recent Changes (e.g., reviewing recent changes, reviewing with a particular focus (specify), anti-vandalism, new-page review, welcoming new users, etc.)

Thanks!

I have removed the material from one of your sandboxes as well. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. I also have removed some the quotations you added to the article, because our non-free content policy requires that non-free content can be added only when there's no alternative and should not be used to excess.

Wikimedian in Residence BoF at Wikimania 2017

Hello!

My name is David Alves (User:Horadrim~usurped), and I'm an Wikipedian in Residence at RIDC NeuroMat (User:Horadrim). I've reach your contact through the Wikimedian in residence page in Outreach. As you may know, Wikimania 2017 is coming! I am here because, as a fellow WiR, I believe this would be a great opportunity for us to share experiences, discuss difficulties and exchange solutions, creating a community among us capable of supporting in other projects that would benefit from residents. In that sense, I have submitted a proposal of a Birds of a Feather activity to Wikimania that you can check out here. I hope to count with your support in this project and would like to invite you to join us if you participate in Wikimania. In case of any doubts, please feel free to contact me, either in my talk pages or by e-mail at david.alvesoutlook.com.

Hello, I'm Smjg. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Pseudopregnancy. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you wish 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.

You previously commented on

and we previously discussed metrics. I am with Wiki NYC, you work with Wiki UK, we both are Wikipedians in Residence, and we both do education. What is good for me I hope is good for you.

I appreciate your long term support for educational outreach and although US and UK do not collaborate nearly as often as I would like, I feel like we share a common interest in this Dashboard and that everyone in your social circle should take as much credit as you like for establishing wiki education outreach, along with all the others.

Now is voting time till 10 December. The Dashboard is rather high in the charts. 10 more votes, I think would be winning at this point. Please vote if you would. Canvassing is allowed; if this is within your interest, please encourage anyone at WM UK or in educational outreach to support as well. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:11, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

w:no:Diskusjon:Guy Fawkes Night

Hi. You made a brief appearance on Norwegian WP on w:no:Diskusjon:Guy Fawkes Night. I have also tried to contact you on your Norwegian talk page. We fully appreciate that students need some leeway, but the article has not developed since November 29th. The added text is a machine translation and as much as I'd like to see a translation of the english WP article about Guy Fawkes, see w:no:Brukerdiskusjon:Linaria1, it is not possible to keep this addendum. The text is a machine translation and not Norwegian. Unfortunately English texts does not survive as legible going through the machine to what the machine calls Norwegian. They contain Norwegian words (mostly), but grammar and choice of words fails. I do hope you are in contact with the student and can explain that translations from English to Norwegian needs a human hand. I will have to revert the article now. --ツ^ツDyveldi ^{☯ prat} _{✉ post} 20:30, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

@Dyveldi: Hi, I have been on annual leave and have only just seen our message so this is the first time I have known there was an issue (I don't think the ping worked and I mistakenly assumed your message in Norwegian was about templates as I was trying to get some Norwegian templates created... and still am). I will raise with the student now. Can the article be moved to a draft space until the translation is fixed? Many thanks, Stinglehammer (talk) 01:04, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Figured something had happened, that is ok. That's why I made this little reminder as you obviously care about your students. Since the article existed in the first place this was not a question of deletion. I just had to revert the edit, which in a way is a pity since our article was (and now is) no more than a stub. Everything is still in the article history.

-- We to not have draft space in Norwegian, but the student has been given a welcoming message. In this message it is a red link called «kladd» (sandbox) and following this link you create a subpage in your user space. This works well as a draft space. I see that you have several (and so do I). It is also possible to start a translation as a subpage. The problem in this case will be that as the original article is the older, the subpage should not be allowed to be moved to the article space replacing the old page, but text in the original article can be replaced with new text. This means that the original article keeps its history, but the revision history for the subspace article will stay with the subspace.

-- Right now we are having a quite long discussion of what we should do with the machine translator thingummy on our top discussion forum; Tinget - Stans_maskinoversettelsene!. The quality of Yandex makes some of us despair and this is not the first case where users just do not understand that they must basically change all the text offered by the machine. We've had examples of users that can't write Norwegian (some of whom also can't read Norwegian) thinking of it as an invitation to translate. We are despairing because the amount of work left to the regular users on no.wp is formidable. The student (or you) can always ping me with questions or go to my discussion page. I do answer, but on occasion it takes some time, I do for instance not check the English watchlist every day and sometimes I'm busy, but I do try to follow up. I do not mind reminders if I use too much time. --ツ^ツDyveldi ^{☯ prat} _{✉ post} 20:09, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

It seems obvious to me that we need to merge these, but I thought I'd run it by you. Also, I'm not sure what the best name to use would be. The strike was not across all of UK HE, so perhaps your title is less appropriate? On the other hand, people might find it more readily. I'd appreciate your views!

ACTRIAL

Could I please ask you to read this before you comment further at the ACTRIAL talk page. It's another one of the many discussions that you appear to have missed. I am aware how I commented at the VP, but consensus can change, and as I said, I would support a renewed attempt to obtain special rights for the major facilitators, but I would oppose running an RfC for it until ACTRIAL becomes ACPERMANENT. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:58, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for this @Kudpung: - that makes for interesting & encouraging reading in a way. It appears to be an entirely civilised conversation with good points on each side and I welcome the comments that have been made about revisiting this now as a way to resolve any issue with ACTRIAL. RexxS's comments are virtually identical to my own position for what it's worth. I can't help but note that the Outreach editors I know didn't feature in that conversation - which is an issue we in Outreach to seriously address - but I think a renewed RfC might be a positive way out of this before things become too oppositional/intractable. Which is what I want to avoid as there does seem to be some consensus in this direction. I just question separating it from the ACTRIAL discussion. Aren't the two things inextricably linked? Stinglehammer (talk) 15:40, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Replying to this here so as to further clutter that discussion: I made it clear that if you violate policies by seeking to turn that RfC into a referendum on your pet cause by canvassing editors who are so uninvolved on Wikipedia as to not know about arguably the most significant change that has occurred in it's history and who are unable to check WP:VPP, WP:VPR, and WP:CENT to see that a conversation is happening, I would take you to ANI. I do not want to do that, but I will if necessary. My frustration here is that you seem to be playing a game where you are unwilling to even listen to other people or see why they might find your actions disruptive or not in good faith. It's like talking to a wall.

Many members of the community, and me in particular, are bending over backwards to try to meet your needs and to work with you to get through a proposal that will meet them through, despite the fact that the community in the past has rejected the same proposal for the very reasons you want it. I'm sorry, but you cannot turn this RfC into a circus about outreach, which is what you are proposing to do. It is about one question only: whether or not ACTRIAL should be made permanent. Please do not try to derail it further by canvassing off-wiki to people who agree with you. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:34, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: There was no need for this comment. None. I'd already replied to your point in the thread and already agreed that the best way forward is an RfC on the Event Coordinator rights which you helpfully drafted. And I said I'd support that and already thanked you for that. Pet cause is a little harsh too. I appreciate that yourself and Kudpung have put a lot of time & energy into ACTRIAL and for this reason I could call ACTRIAL your pet cause. But that wouldn't be fair. The point I was making was that the reason we are having this discussion is because too few outreach editors are in the discussion; both now and historically. No game is being played. That's an issue of awareness and participation that needs to be addressed somehow and at some point (wouldn't you agree?) so that outreach and the wider Wikimedia community can understand one another and work better together. I don't accept the "too bad too sad" argument used against including people in these discussions when we can do better than this and I can't pretend that the discussion is being representative at the moment because I know of so many other usernames who could and should be involved in these discussions. But I am aware of WP:Canvas and already said I would abide by this. I really shouldn't have to say that again. Simply raising awareness and participation is what I'm talking about - not swaying an RfC one way or another. Social media can indeed be very effective in this respect for raising awareness. People affected by the change should know this discussion is happening. Involving other voices with a stake in the discussion in no way derails or creates a circus. We should be open about the fact this discussion is happening and not conduct discussions as if they are happening behind closed doors. It's the free and open encyclopedia after all. For what it's worth, I support improving quality control and ACTRIAL if it helps with this. Just not at the expense of outreach and the work many excellent Wikipedians do everyday. Would you expect me to say otherwise? In fact my position is really no different to that of Lirazelf, RexxS, Richard Nevell, Jason.nlw or any of the other editors working in outreach so I'm really not sure why you're singling me out here. Anyway, there seems to be a (hopefully) growing consensus on the proposal you drafted so that looks like a very constructive way forward. Stinglehammer (talk) 18:30, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

People affected by this change already have been given ample notice of this discussion on Wikipedia in no less than 9 different talk pages and noticeboards, including the centralized discussion. You have not agreed to follow WP:STEALTH, which is why I posted this. Even in the response above, you seem to be pushing for off-wiki notification when there is no need to do so. As Andrew has so helpfully pointed out, I have already posted this discussion just about everywhere possible using neutral language, so there isn't a reasonable argument to be made that active community members would be unaware of this unless they were notified via email or social media. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: I shouldn't need to agree to adhere to WP:STEALTH when it is just another form of WP:CANVAS which I have already said a couple of times that I am not doing. This is getting ridiculous. How many other forms of canvassing do I need to explicitly tell you I'm not doing? Besides, you only seem to be objecting to this in case I am stealth canvassing against your position. I have also already stated I am not against ACTRIAL or increased quality checks if outreach doesn't suffer as a result... which it doesn't have to. "Just about everywhere" is also not strictly true - otherwise we'd have many more voices in the discussion but I accept you will have posted on the main English Wikipedia boards. I still think we could do more when it is a big change like this but WP:CANVAS obviously ties your hands. (Which I'm still not doing). Stinglehammer (talk) 19:04, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Well, you were pushing to notify people via social media at the same time you were saying you were going to follow canvass. If you are saying you have no intent of placing any off-wiki notifications, then all is good. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: Asking about whether this would be acceptable in light of advice from a trusted editor colleague. You said it wouldn't so I did't. End of story. I'm looking to work within the guidelines here so we can arrive at a workable consensus. And the reason I asked is because I know my views are not mine alone (see Richard Nevell, RexxS, Lirazelf, Jason.nlw) and I know many outreach Wikipedia editors check Twitter, the Wikipedia & Education Facebook group, the Wikidata & GLAM group etc. sometimes as much as Wikipedia message boards and sometimes instead of the Wiki message boards. But are their views worth less because of this? Not exactly talking inexperienced editors here. Stinglehammer (talk) 20:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I have less than zero sympathy for what you are saying: if someone is completely disconnected from the on-wiki community, then they likely shouldn't be doing outreach and representing our movement. If you are asking, the answer is no, it would not be acceptable to notify them off-wiki. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:40, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I already asked. You already answered. We've covered this. For what it's worth, I really shouldn't be getting this kind of flak for merely making a suggestion about including other editors in a discussion that affects them. InsertCleverPhraseHere's suggestion of posting on an Outreach noticeboard seems eminently practical. Your stance about the on-wiki community is too hardline for me. There could be any number of reasons why people contribute massively to Wikipedia but don't follow or participate in certain discussion threads. The fact they are a timesink could be one reason. The fact they can often be robust, sometimes too robust, is another. I don't think this is a good enough reason not to be inclusive on large-scale changes like this but I don't think we can agree on this. Stinglehammer (talk) 23:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry if it is too hardline, it is well accepted policy and consensus. Notification of individuals of a major policy RfC off-wiki is a bright line, which is why it received such negative feedback. You never asked about on-wiki canvassing or I would have told you the same thing as ICPH. If you need help, let me know. At the same time, as I said on the ACTRIAL talk page, I think the best thing now is to discuss the concrete proposal we have for meeting your demands. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:56, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: Thank you for this. I've just left you a message on the ACTRIAL page. I apologise if my mentioning of reaching out to others was poorly timed. I should not have mentioned it within the confines of an ongoing RfC. My intention was rather to throw it out there as to how we could better get more Outreach editors to contribute to discussions like this as my concern was rather that by starting the RfC so early we risked missing out on their views being heard. I now accept it may have been better if I had mentioned this elsewhere another time. I knew discussion of reaching out to folk offwiki might be something of a red line however so I sought to check with you in the first instance. No harm was meant. The incredibly strong reaction I received rather took me by surprise hence why I may have responded strongly in turn. I really don't see these as demands especially when we have gone all round the houses and ultimately all agree that ACTRIAL is a good thing and another stab at the Event Co-ordinators RfC would hopefully resolve the issues I raised (hopefully also including the Outreach editors I think would benefit from this RfC but I'll lean on you for advice on how we can best reach out to these editors within the guidelines). While my Oppose for Now vote was not the only one, if it means moving things forward on a more amicable footing I would be happy to switch to Support or at least withdraw my opposition. Best wishes, Stinglehammer (talk) 00:25, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

• Please don't be intimidated by Ballioni's bluster and threats. He himself selectively canvassed projects such as NPP and AfC stating that "All are invited to participate". It is quite reasonable that other stakeholders should be notified about this too, especially if they will be directly affected. As this is a broad change across the project and primarily affects newbies who, by definition, are not yet well-connected, the outreach projects and co-ordinators are best-placed to do this. Please spread the word using the same language that "All are invited to participate". Andrew D. (talk) 17:25, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
  • I did acceptable on-wiki canvassing of affected WikiProjects using a neutral message that was also posted on community accepted forums. This is in no way equivalent to canvassing mailing lists or Facebook groups. The latter is utterly unacceptable. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Davidson, enough with your untruths and disruption now. I know our canvassing policies and guidelines better than most and certainly better than you. TonyBallioni is not threatening anyone at all. What you are doing however, is advocating disruptive behaviour, and that is not acceptable. If I tell you you could be blocked very quickly for that, it's not a threat. The community is well used your disruptive participation on discussions and has been begging you to be more reasonable for years including a case at ANI, in fact a lot of Wikipedians are now exasperated. Don't twist the canvassing policy to curry favour with your Outreach friends or you'll probably find yourself in even more disfavour and it won't be my doing. It would be risible if an outreach worker were in fact a blocked and banned editor and not good for the image of the encyclopedia. Is it your intention to bring Wikipedia into disrepute, or to promote it? We do not need negative press exposure so please don't lead Wikpedia down a scorched earth policy.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

The same also goes for Stinglehammer: Is it your intention to promote Wikipedia or bring it into disrepute?? ACTRIAL is such a powerful remedy for the massive abuse and misuse of Wikipedia, that as the biggest change to policy in a long time, it will certainly be picked up by the press, and I mean the serious press such as the Guardian or the NYT. It might even feature on a TV news roundup or late night show. Do note that no one needs to tip the press off, they watch our discussions like hawks for any newsworthy tidbits for a good scandal. Try what Davidson is advising and you'll open a can of worms that would negate all your Outreach work and do far more damage than all the bad articles together that ACTRIAL will prevent. For one thing, the New Page Patrollers would simply give up. And where would that lead? Rhetorical question because you are so disconnected with the encyclopedia you represent that you are not even aware of what NPP is and the challenges with which it would be faced if ACTRIAL were not to become permanent. Let's get that sorted out first, andwe will look at outreach and WiR and do whatever is necessary. −Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Depends what you mean by disrepute? I don't think messages of doom like this do us any favours either.Stinglehammer (talk) 23:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

The sky is not falling Kudpung, Wikipedia will not collapse under its own weight if ACTRIAL is not extended (and to be honest I expect it will be). People have been prophesying the end of Wikipedia since at least 2007 and we're still here. The rhetoric here has escalated just a little too far, so it may be time to try and cool things down.

Stinglehammer, given the allergic reaction we've seen here to bringing more people into the conversation I think it best not to do that though I'm sure you've come to the same conclusion. Richard Nevell (talk) 21:08, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Agreed. A pity, I thought we were building an inclusive movement. We seem to be bemoaning Outreach editors not taking part in discussion threads and bringing down the fury of the Gods on anyone having the temerity to suggest reaching out to include them. In any case, I think InsertCleverPhraseHere's suggestion of posting on an Outreach noticeboard is a sensible one. Please note: I will not be the one to do this lest I incur more wrath. Stinglehammer (talk) 23:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

The sky wasn't falling on the passengers of the Titanic either - when they boarded it. At the present rate, if I stay with Wikipedia for as long as I've been on it and nothing gets done, by then it will not only be the victim of its own success but will also be as derelict as the city of Tchernobyl with perhaps some scavengers going through the rubble. And I'll be 82, probably won't have done another 91,000 edits, and I'll have handed my admin tools in and be and past caring. Stinglehammer and his friends are paid for what they do; I appreciate you trying to cast calm over troubled waters Richard, but try to see things from the perspective of the unpaid volunteer editors who contribute most of the content and maintain this encyclopedia. Castles in the sky? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Kudpung I appreciate you have a lot emotionally invested in this policy, but I hope that when this all dies down you'll reflect on the above post and consider whether you may have gone over the top just a smidgen. Unfortunately I don't think we're going to get much perspective while mired in the discussion. Perhaps you were not aware, but I am also a volunteer and have spent countless hours over many, many years writing on this site. That doesn't give me ownership of it any more than anyone else. Which is a shame really, because Wikipedia would be fantastic if I was king for a day but it does mean I understand why people are treating this as a make or break moment. Happy editing, Richard Nevell (talk) 23:30, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

ITN recognition for 2018 UK higher education strike

On 20 March 2018, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article 2018 UK higher education strike, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 22:06, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

NOTE: for it to stay in Ongoing, it'll need decent and regular (like daily) updates. So please, given that some of us supported this strongly, do that for us all. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:08, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks

Putting this in a happier section as the above one got quite heated. Thank you for this. I really do appreciate it more than you know. A bit about my work style: I believe in finding solutions and middle grounds, and I really dislike getting drawn into discussions as to what is necessary before X happens or what group needs to be consulted when, etc. My goal is always to find the solution that everyone can be happy with, or at the very least, can achieve a broad consensus.

I don't want you to change your !vote if you don't want to, but the general comments about needing the outreach part of the puzzle solved first when we were working on a proposal to address them and put it to the community, combined with raising the idea that we had somehow excluded part of the community (we haven't. By any measure this is a very well advertised RfC), came off to me as you trying to take over what was designed to be a discussion to give a clear answer on one of the most talked about topics on Wikipedia over the last 7 years for what is a relatively minor (but important) part of the work we do here.

One of the things I enjoy most about Wikipedia is working with people to find compromises that work for everyone, and I think I'm generally good at it. What frustrates me is when I feel the other side isn't acknowledging the work that I have put in to try to work with them. That's the vibe I got from our discussions today because it was so focused on what hadn't been done rather than what could be accomplished and what we're trying to accomplish. Anyway, all that to say, I really appreciate your note at the ACTRIAL page, and I apologize if we were talking past each other and I said anything overly forward. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:21, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: Thanks for this Tony. I think we've absolutely been talking at crossed purposes today and we hopefully will both learn from this. I think you've imagined me as much more Machiavellian than I am. Always the danger when typing rat-a-tat-tat responses over several hours rather than talking for 5 minutes face-to-face I suppose. (I'm a pussycat and hate conflict). Someone else mentioned to me that I was feeling my way into this and that's true. I felt rushed by going straight into the ACTRIAL RfC (after I'd taken a couple of days break) that voices may have been missing and that the Event Co-ordinator RfC might get short shrift or put into the long grass. Unfamiliarity with procedural issues I suppose. I apologise if I came across as demanding. Not my intention. I suppose it concerns me when RexxS is sometimes brought up as the only example of an Outreach editor contributing to discussions but at this moment in time I'm not really sure what the best thing to do about that is. I think if anything this demonstrates that there is work to be done understanding one another better in terms of Outreach and the on-wiki community. That and we shouldn't assume the worst of one another. Do I need to just delete my Oppose for Now response and the messages within that particular section before I can change to Support? Best wishes, Stinglehammer (talk) 01:06, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

No problem: things get heated in project space sometimes. If you want to strike your oppose, what you would do is change #'''Oppose''' to #:<s>Oppose and put the closing </s> at the end of your signature on that comment to strike. Then leave a note on the support. This is again, only if you actually want to do it. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:14, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

MEDRS and new editors

Hi Ewan, I see from your note at WT:WikiProject Medicine #WP:MEDRS and Cochrane review articles that you want to make sure a new editor can be supported, but may need some help navigating the higher requirements of WP:MEDRS. I'm naturally keen to see your work supported and I'm more than happy to pitch in with any help or advice I can give. Please feel free to ping me into any discussion where I can be of help, or drop me an email. If the new editor still needs any explanations, do let me know. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 23:06, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Many, many thanks @RexxS:. Yes indeed, if you are familiar with WP:MEDRS and can help User:Vivrolfe in terms of clarifying the issues with sources being used then that would be very helpful indeed. The discussion is here. Thanks again. Best wishes Stinglehammer (talk) 12:47, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Request for clarification

Hi Stinglehammer: I just noticed that your "List of ships on Wikidata where number of statements is less than three" connects to many articles that I have written or on which I have worked.

Article review

Hi, Thanks for all the information at the Ada Lovelace event yesterday - I've definitely caught the wiki bug! I've drafted my second article, but was wondering if you could offer any advice/feedback? I decided to write the article because Collette Roche was on a Vogue list of influential women, but I don't know if I've done enough to show that she's notable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Spacetime73/Collette_Roche

Many thanks Spacetime73 (talk) 13:40, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

@Spacetime73: that's so great to hear! Thanks for reaching out and apologies for taking so long to respond. This week has been espe3cially crazy busy. Will take a proper look at both pages later today. One thing is the full name should be emboldened in the lede e.g. Tara_Spires-Jones. Any additional sources we can cite to help with notability always helps make the case too. Will come back to you later anyway. Very best and thanks again, Stinglehammer (talk) 10:58, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Article in The Scotsman

Re this piece in The Scotsman: It's disappointing that it says "A recent example of this ingrained gender bias was highlighted when Dr Donna Strickland won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2018, one of only three women ever to do so. Her ­Wikipedia page was previously rejected by moderators who felt her contribution to physics did not ­warrant a biography on the online platform." This is what the media wanted to hear, but it isn't very accurate. The problem with academics who are not household names is that it is often difficult to find enough sources to write a rounded BLP article, and simply copying material from the university website or a person's other online profiles would fail a range of Wikipedia policies. It was pointed out that George Smith (chemist) did not have a Wikipedia article until he won a Nobel Prize in 2018 either. Unfortunately, it looks like Donna Strickland is going to be used to drag up the "Wikipedia is biased against women" trope for ever and a day, regardless of the facts.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 16:47, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps the fact that it took a Nobel prize for Strickland to be covered in Wikipedia is indicative of a problem? While academics can be challenging to write about one certainly does not need to be a household name to be notable. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:18, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

The same could be said of George Smith (chemist). There was a long discussion about this at WP:ACADEMIC, which says "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources" and on Jimbo's talk page, and there is no evidence that Strickland was discriminated against simply because she was a woman. Ultimately Wikipedia articles are only as good as the sourcing available.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:27, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is of course dependent on secondary sources for information. However, it is probable that as she was president of the Optical Society that such sources would have existed. My own area of work is archaeology rather than science, but it wouldn't be too challenging to write an article about a president of the Society for Medieval Archaeologists. The same could be said of Smith, and while it would not be incorrect the context would be different since Wikipedia's biographies of men outnumber women by something like 6 to 1.

I just noticed...

Noticed a couple images I was working on were in User:Stinglehammer/List of Suffragettes when I was updating links to the restorations, and, well, have ruthlessly mining it for images to restore. And then decided to see who else was working on suffragettes, as, frankly, image work isn't always that collaborative, and, um... Hi! I'm the person teaching featured pictures at Edinburgh University at the next monthly meetup. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.5% of all FPs} 06:46, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Basic mistake

Sorry I created and published this new article page without checking the various forms of her name (because it was a redlink on the WiR working page).

Sorry for any problems this may cause you/WiR community! It will be deleted and I will try to take more care.

I had this (longer version of it) as a message on my Talk Page this evening

"Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Dr Elizabeth 'Elma' Innes. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Elizabeth Innes. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia......

Edinburgh events

Hallo, as Wikipedia:University of Edinburgh/Events and Workshops/Women in Red is linked from this month's Women in Red message, could you perhaps give that page a "Lead", so that someone hovering over the link gets a bit of an intro and not just "Booking"? I wondered about adding something on the lines of "The University of Edinburgh hosts monthly meetings to improve Wikipedia's representation of notable women." but it seemed a bit pushy! ... Hmm, just moved the {{TOC right}} down to above first section, as set out in the template documentation, but the nutshell doesn't show in a mouse hover, I suggest it still needs a lead. PamD 17:38, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

And then decided it looked better without the TOC right at all - but I think it still could do with a lead sentence. Oh I'll be WP:BOLD - added a lead sentence, please improve it, sorry if I'm treading on your toes! Spent a lovely couple of hours in sunny Princes Street Gardens on Sunday admiring floral clock and listening to pipe bands, in between trains en route to a funeral in Perth; didn't leave the station while changing trains on return journey in rain yesterday.

New page and question

{{WiR 2019}}

As always thanks again for the WiR session and your advice yesterday, I created a new page also for Katherine "Kitty" Marshall as well as Violet Aitken now.

Looking at the main page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette#Great_Britain I noticed there is a section for Ireland and Great Britain but not highlighting Scotland although there is a category and list for Scottish suffragettes from the work you and others are leading on this year. I am rather reluctant to be brave and edit a 'main' article, perhaps you & other WiR leaders can think about increasing the prominence of Scottish women.

Thank you! Kaybeesquared (talk) 08:30, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

George Drever - scheduled for deletion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/George_Drever

I have tried to respond to this challenge and asked for the categories to be removed (soldier etc) instead; or return to DRAFT ARTICLE status. But I have added two BOOK references rather and hope that helps.

Not much time this next couple of weeks to do more.

DYK for Lilias Adie

On 31 October 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lilias Adie, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that forensic artists at the University of Dundee used 100-year-old photographs of a skull to digitally recreate the face of an accused witch in Scotland? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lilias Adie. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Lilias Adie), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Buildings in Larbert

A tag has been placed on Category:Buildings in Larbert requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Women in Red workshops

Hi there, Stinglehammer, and thanks for the excellent progress you are making at your Women in Red workshops. Yesterday's event was particularly successful with several contributors adding the Women in Red box to their user pages, some of them even creating biographies. In fact only two of them, Gingerale88 and Laurarose2019, registered correctly as members of the project on the main Women in Red page. I have been informing the others on their talk pages that they should register there too. For those who have joined "officially", we are able to check whether they continue to be active on not as we have both active and inactive membership lists. Those officially listed as members are also added to our mailing lists where they are kept informed of virtual meetups, etc. Adding the WIR box to a user page automatically adds Category:WikiProject Women in Red members but does not update the official membership list. Maybe you could point this out to future contributors and encourage them to register. If they do so, they can also add a few words on their interests and on whether they need help with anything specific. They can even add a photo if they wish. You are, of course, welcome to register as a member yourself as we really appreciate the efforts you are making to promote the project. Sorry if this all sounds rather bureaucratic but I like to be able to keep a proper check on new participants. Happy editing! (cc Victuallers)--Ipigott (talk) 08:26, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

I see you have tagged the user page of your second account (EMcAndrew) with the WIR box but you have not yet joined officially.--Ipigott (talk) 10:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ipigott: Thanks for this. I've now added the user box and joined the project. Part of what Laura is being tasked to do is to raise awareness, participation and more sustained community building/ongoing editing so we'll feed all this into our next workshop. Many thanks! Stinglehammer (talk) 13:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. You are now fully registered as Stinglehammer. Maybe it's not worthwhile registered as EMcAndrew too. In any case, welcome to the project. It might also be useful to have a participants section on Wikipedia:University of Edinburgh/Events and Workshops/Women in Red for each meetup. It would make it easier to check on what your new contributors have been doing. If you need further assistance with anything, please let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 14:23, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

suffragettes and criminal biography category

Just noted today that Jessie Kenney was categorised in WikiProject Criminal Biography https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jessie_Kenney&diff=next&oldid=1006334363

Looking at this category there is not a section for political prisoners treated as criminals or UK suffragettes specifically?

But if Jessie Kenney is categorised that way, should her family and the rest of the Eagle House (suffragette's rest) suffragettes or the Holloway brooch and Hunger Strike Medal recipients be in this category too?

For consistency and connecting with the treatment of women's suffrage prisoners??

I am happy to help categorising articles for the women imprisoned if it is needed. Kaybeesquared (talk) 10:57, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Sylvia Blagrove moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sylvia Blagrove, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello Ewan

I simply adore the polar bears on your user page. Hello, Ewan, my name is Asareel but I go by A or Rose or Wolf or any combination of that here on Wikipedia. I just like to give my name because it seems more personal. Genevieve is also an option but its what the older men in my village in Italy used to call me because they said Asareel wasn't Italian enough. News Flash to them, Genevieve is French but hey, who's keeping score? Any way, Ian (Ipigott) informed me that I may want to liaise with Victuallers and yourself on creating a list or subpages for the various workshops Edinburgh and WiR have collaborated on. I can lay the groundwork for it if we can get some simple facts or short history of the workshops. I think if we hit the high level details of some of the more prominent ones then we can always circle back and add in some of those we may see we want to add. Anyway, let me know what you guys are thinking and if you have suggestions please feel free to comment. The plan is to either add it to our current list, or make it a subpage of the list. --ARoseWolf 17:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Major developments ahead

I don't know if you are still active as a WIR or in outreach. As I well remember the not too friendly comments you made at length on not being aware of the 6-year run up to ACTRIAL, the biggest single policy change since Wikipedia was created, I'm taking the initiative to let you know that there are are current overlapping talks at WMF level on a) IP cloaking, and b) banning editing by IP users altogether. These might or might not affect the operations of outreach workers who may be involved in the onboarding of new users or the organisation of editathons. There is no need for you to reply, but if you wish to, as I'm no longer active on en.Wiki, you can leave a message on my talk page meta:User talk:Kudpung.

Improving WiR membership

Thanks, Stinglehammer, for all you are doing to improve coverage of women. I know you are also interested in encouraging more Wikipedians to become members of Women in Red. In this connection, you might like to point to:

Go to Women in RedJoin WikiProject Women in Red

rather than making a simple link to the main WiR page.

One of the areas where we need to devote more effort if we are to reduce the gender gap is business. We'll be focusing on Women in Business in January and have also been working on the development of WikiProject Women in Business which you might like to bring to the attention of your team. You could perhaps include it in your page on Other WikiProjects. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 14:03, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Sarah Ejiama & Makoto Furutani-Seiki

Hi Stinglehammer, thanks for your online training that has aided my journey on creating pages as above. As been new, I wanted to clarify some issues with one editor regarding the page - Sarah Ejiama. The editor challenges her notability and reliable sources but from all I gathered and from the training, she's co-author over 4 different publication which she has contributed to and these were published in reliable journals as you will notice.

Please could you kindly review and advise thus?

Manually confirming users

Hello Stinglehammer. Please review Wikipedia:Event coordinator. When setting the +confirmed flag on user accounts for an event, event coordinators should not add manual confirmed status to accounts for more than 10 days.; please be sure to observe this value. The purpose of it is to ensure that the attendee, while in person at your event, is able to complete the event activities. Thank you, — xaosflux ^Talk 16:04, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Charlotte Mui

Hello Stinglehammer,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Charlotte Mui for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Charlotte Mui to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

Some format issues about University of Edinburgh/Events and Workshops/Translation Studies - 2023/2024

I apologize for not being good at English and thank you for your contributions.

Recently, when I patrol new entries on zh Wikipedia, I notice that most members of yours add a space before a footnote, we seldom do that in Chinese （Chinese punctuation is wider than English punctuation）. As removing these spaces may require a significant amount of work, I would appreciate it if you could give a brief notice before the translation activity to reduce unnecessary work. It is worth mentioning that there is no clear policy or regulation restricting this approach, I am just here on behave of myself.

Thank you again for your contributions, your translations is better than most of us. Heihaheihaha (talk) 18:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks Heihaheihaha for this. Will certainly pass this information on to students and will encourage future student translation assignment to do this too. Any further advice and constructive feedback is always very welcome so thank you. Stinglehammer (talk) 17:46, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
