1000 Women in Religion article categories

Hello, Figureskatingfan,

I see you've created dozens of empty 1000 Women in Religion article categories and they have been assigned no parent categories and don't seem to be part of any WikiProject. Please do so or they could be tagged for CSD C1 deletion as empty categories. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:17, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

User:Liz, they're part of the 1000 Women in Religion wikiproject, but I failed to categorize them. At least I think that's what happened. Can you tell I don't know what the heck I'm doing? ;) Anyway, it's fixed now (I think); thanks for bringing it to my attention. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:15, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

1000 Women in Religion project categories

Just to let you know, I've nominated a few of the categories at Category:1000 Women in Religion articles by importance for deletion as they are not used by the {{WikiProject 1000 Women in Religion}} banner. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:22, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

User:WOSlinker: Um, thanks? ;) Seriously, though, this was the first time I had created categories for a wikiproject, so do you have any recommendations for what we can do to save them? They're not on the banner because we're a young project--at least that's what I think. I'd appreciate your assistance in this manner. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 15:58, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

There are not that many projects that use the categories of the form XXX-Class PROJECT articles of XXX-importance‎ (these are the ones I nominated). Most projects just use the Class and importance categories and don't use the combined categories. With your project having under 250 pages tagged at the moment, the separate categories will probably be enough for you for now. If you need them in the future though, you can add the {{WPBannerMeta/hooks/qualimpintersect}} template into the banner. -- WOSlinker (talk) 16:08, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response. I kinda thought this was the case. Thanks for your diligence and clean-up duties. ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:12, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

If I can butt in, I've been going through a lot of WikiProjects this summer and the standard category set-up is to have page categories sorted by importance and then page categories sorted by quality without such a detailed breakdown. Picking a WikiProject at random, you'll see that Category:WikiProject Sweden articles is divided into Category:Sweden articles by importance and then Category:Sweden articles by quality without a cross-categorization. This is typical for most WikiProjects that have spent time assessing and tagging articles. It can be helpful when you are setting up a new system to see what long-standing WikiProjects have done so you're not reinventing the wheel.

Good luck with the project, I'm interested to see what comes from it. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:14, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

There's a bot that generates the intersection counts. See User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/1000 Women in Religion for an example. -- WOSlinker (talk) 20:21, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the input and advice. I probably should've asked how to do it first instead of trying to do it myself, but I didn't know who to ask. I now know, so I'll return for any questions I have in the future. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 20:51, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

The Wiggles question

Hi! I noticed that you did the work on promoting The Wiggles to Featured Article. Similarly, I got Hi-5 (Australian band) to Featured Article this year. I just wanted to ask a question... all of the work you did on the page is so succint and well organised. However, the newest section on the 2013–present line-up has been overloaded by a range of different editors. It's too long and lacking the consistency of all your previously written materials. I was wondering your thoughts on this - would you ever look at tidying up that section, or would you have suggestions for someone interested in doing that? Thanks. SatDis (talk) 14:44, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi User:SatDis, thanks for writing. Thanks for your kind words about my work on The Wiggles and congrats for getting Hi-5 to FA. The Wiggles was my very first FA ever, so I'm very proud of it and the work I've been able to do on through the years. One of the biggest challenges, and I'd bet that you'll experience the same challenge, is that it's hard to maintain its quality. There are a few reasons for that. First, its age as a FA, with the normal updates that need to happen with a band still performing and the normal link-rot that happens to most older FAs. Most importantly, I think, is the nature of articles that focus on kids topics. For The Wiggles, much of the updating is done by inexperienced editors, so I've had to consistently go back and fix stuff. The vandalism is consistent and ongoing, so you need to be diligent, and with our busy lives, that can be difficult. Most of the vandalism on The Wiggles is done at specific times, usually during Australian school holidays, and I suspect, in the case of the vandalism done by anonymous IPs, by bored children, teens, and young adults. I've also had to remain diligent for the bios of the group's members, for similar reasons. I suggest that you do the same for Hi-5 members. It also helps to enlist a team of vandalism watchers, which I've done with The Wiggles, although I could probably enlist more editors to help with it.

I've edited lots of articles about children's media and TV programming (Sesame Street, Blue's Clues), and I've found similar issues pop up. BC is especially demanding and challenging. This summer, on the recommendation of another editor, I've been updating and rewriting sections of it, which turned out to be a much bigger project than I anticipated. I'm not done with that yet, but things are getting busy for me IRL, so it'll take more time. I know that The Wiggles needs work, too, so if you want to tackle improving it, have at it, mate! ;) I just glanced at the Hi-5 article, and it looks really good. I have to admit, I tend to be protective of the kids focused articles I work on, for the above reasons, but I think you might be a perfect person to enlist for assistance. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:27, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your response @Figureskatingfan:. I have definitely found trouble with the amount of monitoring these pages require, and I have had The Wiggles on my Watchlist for the very same reason. I do agree that a lot of my time on here is reverting vandalism. Ooh, Blue's Clues is an article I've loved reading previously, well done! Thanks for checking out Hi-5 - I also did The Wiggles discography and got it to a Featured List. I do have The Wiggles on my list of projects (just the new sections that you didn't write) - if I ever get the chance, I definitely will have a look at it! I mainly just wanted to see if you were aware for the future. :) I am definitely protective of the children's media articles, so please let me know if you ever need my watchful eye on any other pages, or help for any reviews or edits! All the best. SatDis (talk) 10:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

I just thought I'd add - for Hi-5 and Bluey (2018 TV series) and other articles I've done, I was encouraged to archive every URL used on the page during the FA process. I've just noticed that The Wiggles doesn't have 100% of links archived, so that might also be a job for the future too. SatDis (talk) 10:43, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

@SatDis: thank you! It's so great that there's at least one other person dedicated to the improvement and upkeep of these articles. I need to go back and do some updating of the Sesame Street articles, too, which I'll do in the near future. Whoever gets to The Wiggles first can take care of it, but there's really no hurry. And of course you're right archiving some of the older links. (I should probably do that for BC, too.)

I'd go ahead and add a to-do list to TW's talk page, but I'm not sure that's a good idea with all the vandalism and less experienced editors that the article attracts, so let's keep the discussion on our talk pages. If you want to look at the Sesame Street articles, that would be great and very helpful. I haven't read through the Hi-5 article yet, but it's structured well. You have an "Educational value" subsection, which is similar to the "Educational goals" sections in the BC and SS articles. Has there been any studies done on the group's efficacy? As far as I know, there hasn't been any done on TW, but I suspect that's because the ABC doesn't value research as much as Nickelodeon or Sesame Workshop. Anyway, thanks again. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 15:50, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

I couldn't help myself and just started with some small edits to the latest section of The Wiggles. I don't plan on doing a massive overhaul at the moment, but it will remain as one of those pages I'll keep checking in on and making small adjustments to. One day I'd like to go in and fix all the references. Yes - a private to-do list sounds good.

As for Hi-5, I based many of my sections on the Wiggles article - "education value" was definitely inspired by "educational theory". It was very difficult to find good sources and in my FA nomination, almost every reference I used was analysed for validity. No formal studies were done, but some university thesis were cited. I had to fight to include a lot of sources in my article! Sources would be my #1 area to improve TW article. SatDis (talk) 08:35, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

@SatDis: I saw that, thanks! Ya know, I've come to the conclusion that many of the kids media articles suffer from the systemic bias that we all know exists here, some of the same challenges that editors that edit and create bios about women face. It seems like there's more scrutiny with them, in all areas: notability, validity, etc. There's also the fact that there are less reliable sources about these topics, sources that don't fit the definition of reliable in WP policies, which we have to use in order for these articles to be comprehensive, as you found with Hi-5. We have to leverage the policies that make it difficult to include them in WP that editors of male-focused articles don't seem to have to do, and one of the ways to do that is to use the community and collaborative nature of WP and to defend our choices as editors and writers, especially the sources we use. That seems to be your experience, too. This is something I've thought a lot about because I'm writing my M.A. thesis about it this year. Welcome to the club of fighting systemic bias on WP! I'm sorry that you had to go through so much trouble, but I'm sure you found that it was worth it, and that it made the article a better one, which is our goal, anyway--to make the articles we edit the best they could be. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 15:46, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello again! I just wanted to let you know that I have finished looking through The Wiggles page. I have gone through all 163 references and ensured they're correctly formatted, as well as archived for the future. A lot of news articles are subscription only now, so the archive is there as an alternative for all of those sources. I've tried to tidy up some of the writing as I've gone, and I'll continue to do this in the future. You did such a wonderful job with the article originally, and I hope what I can do is continue to refine and monitor the page over the years so that it remains at a high quality, and avoids any criticism. With so many changes to the Wiggles now, I find it increasingly fascinating to work on the page and keep everything accurate. I hope you can have a look and see some of the changes I've made. Thanks for the support and Happy Holidays! SatDis (talk) 04:54, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

@SatDis:, thanks so much for your hard work in making sure this article remains high-quality. It's so wonderful that someone has taken on this huge task, as these days I don't always have the time to maintain it. I think that you've done a marvelous job. And happy holidays to you, too!

October 2021

Just received a message that Henni and Yolo4 have done a significant expansion for Yuzuru Hanyu Olympics seasons and they are looking for a peer review person for it. Could you take a look and see if its possible for you? ErnestKrause (talk) 00:37, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

ErnestKrause, I'm busy right now but will do my best to get to it in a few days. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 03:26, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

If your still busy then that's ok. Yolo and co-nominator seem to have lost their peer review editor a few weeks ago. Is there any way to revive it at the peer review for Talk:Yuzuru Hanyu Olympic seasons? ErnestKrause (talk) 01:29, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

ErnestKrause, my regrets for ghosting you. Yah, it's been a little busy for me, but I have a few weeks break and will do my best to take a look at the PR. Thanks for your patience. I suggest, if you don't want to wait for me and you want more reviewers, that you ask some more folks for feedback. I've found that with PRs, that's the best way to ensure that they get done. Best, happy holidays. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:11, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

That was a nice peer review you did for them on Hanyu. Recently, I tried to expand the quad jump article though another editor seems unpleased. The unpleased editor appears not to know that the quad axel involves 4 and a half rotations, which places it closer to a quintuple jump that the other quads. Could you give this a look when you sign on? ErnestKrause (talk) 00:20, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

ErnestKrause, I'm so glad you were pleased with my PR. To be honest, I'm not interested in the quad article. I mean, yah the quad is important, especially at this time in figure skating history, but there was a time when even the double jump was controversial and revolutionary. Plus, there's nothing in the quad article that's not already in other articles about jumps. For example, it states in Axel jump that it adds a half-rotation and that it's basically a quint. I suppose the value of an article about quad jumps is the discussion about the burden it takes on a skater's body, but that's debatable because skaters are being trained more efficiently to handle it. In other words, I'm not motivated to help improve it, but since you asked, I'll do my best to take a look, although I can't promise that it will be any time soon.

While I'm here, how 'bout that weird Olympics? First there was Hanyu's disappointing results, which I'm bummed out about, although again being honest, I'm beyond thrilled about Nathan Chen. And then the ROC's women's drama. Yikes! The ice dance and pairs competitions were epic, though. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 06:08, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Nice comments. I noticed that Tara Lipinski has referred to the women's skating event this year at the Olympics as "heartbreaking", and many agree with her. Regarding the axel edit I mentioned above, I'll try your idea and place the edit in the Axel jump article in a new section called Statistics of axel jump performance. When you have the time maybe you could comment on enhancements. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Greg Page

Hello! I think your revert was a mistake. Greg will no longer be the youngest Wiggle to join, as there would be a new Wiggle in the yellow skivvy named Tsehay Hawkins, who is 15. Greg was 19 when he joined, so this is just to inform you that my information was indeed correct. Thanks you, and apologies for the inconvenience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:244:8301:EB10:9969:1023:931F:4A4E (talk) 11:58, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

You're right, Greg is no longer the youngest-ever member of The Wiggles, which I didn't know about when I made the revert. I removed the mention of his age; it wasn't supported in Anthony's book, anyway. Thanks for the catch. I suggest that you create yourself an account, through. ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk)

Thank you today for the article about an Olympic discipline, writing this close to Olympiapark ;) - You introduced: "This article is about Ice dance, a discipline of the sport of figure skating. Ice dance is also one of the least familiar disciplines, so it's important that a high-quality article exists. We have less than two years to improve as many figure skating articles as possible before the 2022 Olympics, the only time many people pay attention to the sport."! - happy 2022, - see, it began near Olympiapark ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah you're welcome, User:Gerda Arendt, you're such a good egg, as my mom would say. It's been fun and I'm proud that at least this article is where it's at, especially with the ice dance competitions happening yesterday and today. I'm bummed out, though, that I didn't fully accomplish my goal! There's still much work to do, but I'm happy that people can watch figure skating during the Olympics and have better information than they had in 2018. Hopefully, we can do it by 2026. ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:48, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Alysa Liu revert

Hello! Regarding the revert on Alysa Liu...I totally understand your thinking, but doesn't Instagram qualify under WP:SPS in this case since she's sharing news about herself from an official account? Her post seems to meet the five criteria under "Self-published or questionable sources as sources on themselves." Or am I misunderstanding something? My thought was to use her own announcement for now and then add a secondary source citation when one becomes available. Thoughts? I appreciate your input! Beginning (talk) 17:32, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

@Beginning: Well, this is neither here nor there, as they say, since the post has been confirmed by news outlets by now, which I've added. My changes include removing the Instagram ref; I suggest that you look at WP:INSTAGRAM, one stricter interpretation of WP:SPS. I tend to be somewhat conservative about this policy, but I think that it's the correct interpretation. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:05, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Emmy Awards for Sesame Street discrepancy

Hi there,

I noticed that at the leading intro noted that Sesame Street won 11 Emmy Awards despite the fact that it has won way more. If it indeed won only 11 Emmys, that would go against the claim that the show is the most awarded children's show in Emmy history as Reading Rainbow has accumulated 20 Emmys noted here. The webpage that AndyFielding is citing to justify it winning only 11 awards (which is here) is actually only referring to the PRIMETIME Emmy Awards, which are under the jurisdiction of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (aka Television Academy) headqaurtered in North Hollywood, California. The other 178 awards were dervied from DAYTIME Emmy Awards, which are handled by the NATIONAL Academy of Television Arts and Sciences based in New York City. On that same website Andy used to justify only 11 Emmys, the website notes "This database contains information for Emmy nominations and awards presented by the Television Academy (formerly the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences) for prime-time television programming. It does not contain information for Sports, News & Documentary, Daytime, and other awards given by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) in New York." According to Guinness World Records from 2010, the show received 122 Daytime Emmy Awards (source). Also this article from Canadian newspaper Toronto Star indicates "Sesame Street has become one of the best known and regarded children’s educational shows on television, winning 167 Emmy Awards over its long tenure." The Parade article and several others ([1], [2], [3]) indicate 189 Emmys.

The latest edit on Yuzuru Hanyu

Hi! Regarding the latest edit on Hanyu, I have explained on the user's talk page on why it should be removed, including that both statements aren't necessarily true and can be seen as not neutral. The user obviously has read my message since she has changed her references to suit her view, but she keeps adding it in and I have spent all of my revert quota for the last 24 hour. So, maybe you can help? - Yolo4A4Lo (talk) 09:28, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Good Article counter missed one

Thanks for promoting Union Automobile Company to Good Article. That makes a total of 217 Good Articles I have done. As you can see in the Good Article counter Lambert Gas and Gasoline Engine Company is not counted. Something was missed somewhere. I'm not sure what. Can you look over your closing steps on the review of this article to make sure you got them all.Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:44, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

@Doug Coldwell: Oops, sorry about that. I failed to add it to the GA list, but have just done so now. Thanks for pointing it out to me. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:25, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

O.K. Thanks for adding it to the GA list. Hope to see you soon. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:31, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Rosemary Radford Ruether/sandbox

Hello, Figureskatingfan,

An editor tagged this page for deletion but neglected to notify you of the tagging. It was deleted as a test page but clearly you are an experienced editor so I just wanted to inquire about your creating a sandbox page in the main space of the project. What were you going to do with this page? Is this work that can be done in User or Draft space? Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:35, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it was a sandbox for members of the 1000 Women in Religion Wikiproject that needed to be put in user space, which I obviously need to do now. Thanks for the notification. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:32, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Sally Ride

I have the article on Sally Ride up for review at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sally Ride/archive1. Ride was the third woman to fly in space. This article is the second in a series I have written on women astronauts. As usual, I am in need of reviewers. If you could take a look, it would be greatly appreciated.
