Margaret Bell Houston

I am soooooo happy you created Margaret Bell Houston. I've actually been updating Margaret Lea Houston in a sandbox, for eventual nomination at WP:FAC. Her descendants are part of the section on her Legacy. I did not know about Margaret Bell Houston's accomplishments. I am very pleased with what you did. — Maile (talk) 23:49, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Maile66! I wish I had been able to find out more about her. I hit a wall with sources. I think if I dig into the Dallas Equal Suffrage Association, more will come up, though. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:52, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of people with surname Singh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ajit Singh (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Megalibrarygirl, thanks for the thanks about my edit at Library book vandalism. i've just added the books project to the talkpage, after all it is about vandalising books, and have assessed the article as a start, allbeit a high one, as i am quite conservative when it comes to assessing articles, hope this is okay....

Carlotta Corpron

Hi Megalibrarygirl,

I'm responding to your request to collaborate on the Carlotta Corpron page.

Yes! Your help is appreciated. I'm am brand new to the Wikipedia editing process. The brief Corpron article I wrote was deemed too thin by Wikipedia editors. I'm a research and instruction librarian at Texas Woman's University (where Corpron taught from 1935 - 1968). It is the end of the semester so I won't be able to return to editing the Corpron page until after finals.

It would be great to add some of her photographs and a photo of her as well. The copyright rules for adding photographs is making me cross-eyed.

I look forward to collaborating. What is the Wiki-etiquette? I'm a friendly person and I'd like for you to have my name and work email. Is that allowed?

Best,

SunSalute, Novice Wikipedia Editor SunSalute (talk) 22:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Yay! I've been keen to work on Carlotta, SunSalute. I did the article on one of her students, Ida Lansky. :) Wiki-etiquette, for me, is more flexible than for others. If you give me permission to edit, I'll edit like crazy. :) I'd also like to invite you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Women and Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red. Both are very supportive areas where you will always get good and supportive feedback. I personally think the Articles for Creation process is broken: your draft is enough to pass the General notability guidelines already. What I have at my disposal is some information about the "Texas Bauhaus" and material from the El Paso Museum of Art. Also, I'm glad to meet another librarian. I'm a public services librarian in El Paso, TX. If you email me using the "Email this user" tool on the left hand side of the page, I'll email back and we can exchange info. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:20, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Heya-- I just put up a Carlotta Corpron page not realizing anyone else was working on it until after the fact when some extra searching led me here. Sorry about that, I would not have preempted a page in progress if I'd realized but would have added to it instead! She's such a terrific photographer that it's amazing to me she wasn't up already, and it would be great to have your input on the page going forward. Alafarge (talk) 19:18, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Alafarge! I almost did the same thing! We can takes what SunSalute wrote at Draft:Carlotta Corpron and move it into yours. Her article was being held up in the AfC process--the reviewers didn't think Corpron was notable! I'm not sure how to merge stuff though.... Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Megalibrary girl and SunSalute: I've never done a merge before, but I've attempted it so as to preserve SunSalute's work, using the Wikipedia:Merging page as my guide and crediting SunSalute in the save. There is further info about creating a redirect from the source page but I'm doubtful that applies to a draft.Alafarge (talk) 19:57, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Your comments at Sarah Ballard AfD

Susan, thanks for your well-reasoned contributions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Ballard. You did a much better job of presenting and evaluating the sources neutrally than I would have; it's increasingly difficult for me to AGF with the arguments of the ones claiming e.g. the media is not a source on the subject. - Brianhe (talk) 03:14, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Women in Red for June

Hi there! Thanks very much for offering to help out with the June editathons. You will see from this that Edgars2007 has kindly offered to create Wikidata lists for the entertainers in addition to your own excellent work. I've looked at the Jewish history list and am rather disappointed their editathon list does not include many women from countries outside the United States, most of them being presidents of Hadassah. Lange.lea has added a link to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Jewish Women page which (under Create an Article) contains a long list of names without any indication of background or references. I don't know if there's anything we can do to improve it but it looks to me as if it would require a lot of work. On LGBTQ, you have been doing a great job - just what we need. Maybe it's not really necessary to go for a Wikidata list too? Have we decided to use LGBTQ rather than LGB or LGBT? I must say I had to look it up to see what the Q stood for.--Ipigott (talk) 12:41, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@Ipigott: thanks for taking a look at the Jewish women's work. I've been working to pull together more lists of redlinks. I added a list of all of the women covered in the Jewish Women's Archive Encyclopedia, which is fully available online and a pretty good resource. It has some 1,700 biographical articles, and it includes women outside of the United States. I will work on adding a link next to each name directly out to the JWA article(s) about that person. Do you know of a better way that I could be maintaining this list and linking out to it? Would it be of interest to WiR to have a Jewish women redlink list, e.g. WikiProject:Women in Red/Jewish women? If so, I'll create it. I realize it's ideal to have links to further reliable resources for each name as well--I'll work on this to the best of my abilities with the time that I have. I have also actively been asking other staff members around my workplace and others for ideas for further pages to create and edit. I would welcome any suggestions to make our lists better between now and June 1. Thanks again for working with us for the virtual edit-a-thon. --Lange.lea (talk) 13:37, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@Lange.lea: Thanks for getting back on this so soon. Speaking for myself, I must say that I find long lists of uncommented red links pretty daunting. If they are arranged in some logical order (e.g. by country, dates, specific interests) and have at least one useful reference, it is much easier to pick out those deserving new articles. As I have connections with Denmark and the other Scandinavian countries, I would fist be looking for Jewish women who had to leave Denmark before or during the German occupation, many of whom went on to prosper in Sweden and beyond. Others from Scandinavia, as you know, were not so successful but still made important contributions. Together with Megalibrarygirl, we have been working on an approach to red-link list presentation which has proved to be quite effective. A good example is the List of red-linked photographers we are working on at the moment. If you could create a list along these lines, it would be easy for us to make additions, not just for the June editathon but for future work on Jewish women, while all our participants could pick out names they found interesting for new articles. Let us know what you think.--Ipigott (talk) 14:00, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@Ipigott: thanks for the quick response and for the suggestions! I'll get working on a list like the WiR photographers one. I'll aim to have it up asap in the next couple of days. Thanks again! --Lange.lea (talk) 14:11, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

@Lange.lea, Edgars2007, and Ipigott: I'll start the redlist based on the link above. We can all add to it. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:59, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Motsoalle

On 26 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Motsoalle, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that motsoalle is the term for socially acceptable, long-term relationships between Basotho women in Lesotho? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Motsoalle. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Motsoalle), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Sylvia Wald

Hi Megalibrarygirl,

I am so happy there is a Sylvia Wald page on Wikipedia and I noticed that you were a strong contributor to the page. I just have a few questions about how to add to the Sylvia Wald page and suggest an edit. Is this something that I would contact you for or is there somewhere else that I need to go? I am very new to editing and creating Wikipedia pages and would like to expand on the nonprofit foundation that Sylvia Wald and her husband, Po Kim, started as well as start a page for him. If this is not the right place to reach out to for edits, would you point me in the right direction of where to go?

Thanks! Meghan 67.245.123.204 (talk) 14:46, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Meghan! You can start editing on the page itself whenever you wish. To start a new page, you'll have to register an account. Make sure you use a lot of "reliable sources" like newspaper articles and/or journals to support what you write about. I'm happy to help if you need any, esp if you want me to look at your work. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:10, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to jump in to the conversation - Welcome Meghan! I thought these bits of information may help you get started: Getting Started and How to Edit. Cheers, Dresken (talk) 23:12, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.67.245.123.204 (talk) 13:36, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Another question

Hi Megalibrarygirl,

I really appreciate your help so far! Some of the Wikipedia guidelines are a little confusing and I just wanted to see if you could clear a few things up before I really get into editing/creating a page. I intern at a nonprofit foundation for the artists (Sylvia Wald and Po Kim) that we have discussed and am working on building Wiki pages so that they are more searchable. I had heard that anyone with a vested interest in the the person or subject of the page cannot create the page so that it is an objective page. Do you know if that is true? And if I would be able to create a page for Po? I am worried about starting to put it all together and then find out that Wikipedia will not accept it.

Also, do you know if it is harder for me to publish a page since my account would be so new to Wikipedia? I thought that I would have to be a credible contributor to multiple pages before I could create my own. Is that true?

Again, thank you so much for responding so quickly and being so willing to help!

I think as long as you disclose your affiliation with the non-profit, you'll be OK. I've never dealt with that personally, though. I work for a public library in Texas. I've written about a few of the historical librarians who built my library and I don't see that as a conflict of interest. Instead, I see that I have easy access to the information in our archives. Writing for Po Kim is probably not a problem. When I was a newer editor, I did some edits on my library itself. Now, I would be more hesitant. It's a fine line, really. There is a place on Wiki called the Teahouse. You may get a more solid answer there. (Wikipedia:Teahouse) Overall, most editors are glad when people are trying to follow the rules and respect Wiki policies. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:57, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

Editor of the Week [16 July 2016]

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for your work on articles relating to women's issues. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Maile66 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Megalibrarygirl to be Editor of the Week for creating 174 new articles in the last year. She has been a consistent contributor to content on women's issues, both as article creator and for expansion. Of her 17,363 edit total, only 301 of them have been minor edits. Megalibrarygirl has helped Wikipedia's efforts to increase the encyclopedia's content on women, both in the United States and elsewhere in the world. She regularly participates in AfD striving to source articles rather than simply delete them. Because in the real world, she really is a librarian, she helps many editors find sourcing. She has been the driving force for creating the redlists of WikiProject Women in Red. Anytime a new redlist is needed for an "editathon" or some missing area for the encyclopedia, she creates it and begins populating it with curated names and links to confirm notability. She has tirelessly worked to update the monthly metrics lists and worked on adding women's articles to surname lists. On top of all of that, she regularly welcomes and mentors new editors. Encouraging and coaching she is a positive force and a real asset to WP. She has written for the Signpost, plus create and update dozens of redlists (lists of redlinks) for WP:Women in Red. Her positivity is much appreciated.
