Howdy!

Hope all's well. Nice seeing you again on WP:ITN/C. Can I request you to look at the latest Copvio report? I believe we should good now. Ktin (talk) 04:13, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Ktin, good to see you too! I’m sorry, my internet connection is being wonky and Earwig keeps timing out so I havent been able to respond fully to concerns raised. I could try again tomorrow, but dipping a toe in ITN, I take it things move much faster than that! I’m sorry! Innisfree987 (talk) 04:29, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, No worries at all. Have a nice one and Happy New Year! Ktin (talk) 04:31, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Ktin, happy new year to you too! Innisfree987 (talk) 04:34, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations! With 13,072 total views (and 1,089 viewsper hour), your hook on Christine Nagel and her strawberry-and-popcorn perfume is one of the most viewed hooks for the month of January. Accordingly, it has been included at DYKSTATS January. All the more impressive since it was part of a 12-hour queue. Keep up the good work! Cbl62 (talk) 05:27, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Two in a row. Your hook on Santal 33 generated 9,146 page views (762 views per hour) and has been included at DYKSTATS January. Your perfume hooks are proving to be quite alluring to our Main Page readers. Keep up the great work. Cbl62 (talk) 09:06, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Cbl62, too funny! Thought it was just my little niche interest—I suppose I’ll see what others could work for DYK. Thank you so much for running the stats page and sending these notes—so encouraging (and interesting to learn!) Innisfree987 (talk) 16:00, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Deborah Rhode

Hi Innisfree -- Are you working on this now? If so I'll back off copy editing until later, as edit conflicts just waste everyone's time. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 15:49, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Espresso Addict, oh gosh did I edit-conflict you? Sorry about that—please go ahead, I was going to look into reviews which will take me some time before I can add. Thank you for your attention to the entry! Innisfree987 (talk) Innisfree987 (talk) 15:56, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

(To be clear—sorry no coffee yet!—that’s a no, I’m not actively working in the entry.) Innisfree987 (talk) 15:57, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Innisfree -- I've given it a quick once over and commented at ITN/C -- it seems a bit thin, at the moment. If you could add a section on her books that would be excellent. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 16:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Espresso Addict, perfect timing. I’ll go in now. Thank you! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:41, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

PS Don't bother giving me credit at ITN (assuming that was you) -- I work on most articles in my broad sphere, and long since gave up collecting credits. In this case, strictly it meant I shouldn't have posted it, but I'm hoping that no-one cares too much. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 19:18, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Noted and sorry about that, I didn’t put two and two together—got it for the future! Innisfree987 (talk) 19:37, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Had a look at the talk page for coup attempts

And it seemed to me the consensus was in favour of removing it? HalalSquad (talk) 07:07, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

HalalSquad, hi and thanks for the message. Best to discuss that there, I think, given the number of interested editors—as you probably gather, I understand the consensus as supporting the material, because we’ve been through it several times and landed at the version you saw, but in any case that’s the place where a new consensus could be reached, if it’s changed. Cheers, Innisfree987 (talk) 07:37, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Espresso Addict, thank you for the kind words—it means a lot especially considering the source! Innisfree987 (talk) 19:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Non-free images of living people

Hi,

I saw you tagged a bunch of non-free images of living people as being from commercial photo agencies. The F7 criteria covers many different situations and not all of them are immediate deletion. The one for replaceable fair use (which includes photos of living people) is in a different Twinkle option. It is not CSD, but rather DI. -- Whpq (talk) 01:35, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Whpq, oh, thank you so much! Appreciate your guidance and correcting those tags, I apologize for the error and now I will know what to do next time! Thanks very much. Innisfree987 (talk) 01:39, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

No problems. F7 covers so much I;ve got them jumbled up before as well. -- Whpq (talk) 01:42, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

For Marielle de Sarnez. Really remarkable transformation. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 04:33, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Well this is a wonderful treat—both the baklava and the kind words! Thank you AleatoryPonderings! I was getting ready to leave a message back over for you and all at WiR first to say thank you to you for this topic, from which I learned a whole lot about aspects of French politics I usually don’t follow—very enlightening! And then also to say—well I have a few more sources to look at, but I think unfortunately some of her early positions I may have to comment out unless someone else can verify them/pin down more exactly what they mean. But let me wrap up what I can and then I’ll send a ping when I’m tapped out. Luckily you spotted this very fast so it’s only been about 36 hours since her death—we have a little time yet for ITNRD. Thanks again! More soon! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:16, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Aw, thanks :) ITNRD is really quite a strange place, now that I think about it—pretty thankless work and on a very tight schedule for what are often very heavy editing lifts. At least at AfD you know you'll have at least a week to do an overhaul if you feel like it. I'm in awe at how many RDs you've managed to do recently—truly fantastic work, for WiR and WP generally. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:21, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

AleatoryPonderings, yes have been thinking that to make a sustainable impact on the gender balance there, we may need more hands on deck—just caught a misattributed ref that suggests I may need to bump up the sleep:writing ratio! But thank you very much for the kind words, it is a bit of a mind-bender to be completely rewriting an article while people vote it down! I know that at ITN folks do revise their votes but the encouragement’s greatly appreciated all the same, especially knowing what fine work you do. It’s very nice to be in conversation with other “content creators”—sometimes writing entries can be such a walled garden. Thanks for the camaraderie! And I’ll get back to it tomorrow; it’s nearly ready (or as ready as I can make it), just need some sleep so I can wrap it up with a clear head. Innisfree987 (talk) 07:35, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

In case you have a free moment at some point (no rush whatsoever), your French skills would be most welcome at Micheline Legendre. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:15, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh yes, January 5–is it already too late for RD then? But I’ll have a look, probably tomorrow (or sooner pending insomnia!) Great subject, I love puppets, and puppeteers! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:34, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Much too late for RD—5 Jan 2010! Certainly no rush at all; just thought you might like to have a look :) AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Hahaha: ok sleep is clearly a priority! But thanks for the tip, indeed will enjoy. Innisfree987 (talk) 05:41, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

AleatoryPonderings, if you have a moment, but only if! Would you mind having a read back through of Marielle de Sarnez for WP:EDITORIAL, raised at WP:ITN/C? I asked for more specific input but the editor hasn’t been online since. I did the best I could to pass through stringently and I am thinking one issue is that that advice warns against using adverbs to link two ideas not linked in sources (eg, although, nevertheless, etc). But, some I’ve caught do accurately reflect sources. I put in some invisible comments to indicate, but if you had time to look and flag any others that seem questionable, or you just see a better way around, it’d be a great help. Absolutely understand if you’re otherwise occupied though! Sorry for the bother! Innisfree987 (talk) 22:12, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

No bother at all. Here's what I did. Some of the changes are a bit bold, but hopefully they assuage the concerns. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 22:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much! All this work while I got to look at puppets! (Not Legendre’s troupe I don’t think but seems to be part of the puppetry festival she organized—for use if you wish!)

Your edit makes the text much better and hopefully satisfactory to readers. One question—regarding her father’s election, I think there’s a typo but I’m not sure what you meant to say? I have a few small things to add back so we don’t outrightly conflict with sources but otherwise hopefully all set! Fingers crossed. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:01, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, Was Special:Diff/1000830292 the typo you meant? I think I fixed it? Great find on the puppet show :) I figured there had to be some pictures out there, although I'm disappointed there didn't appear to be anything from her trip to China which was apparently some kind of government delegation—you'd think someone would have taken some photos … AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 23:24, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes you got it, thank you! And I’ll continue the photo hunt, indeed you would think there would be some somewhere... She’s clearly a candidate for a fair use shot of her person if it comes to that but photos of her work would be so wonderful. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:29, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

That's great! Just to let you know that I began work on Innisfree Garden. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Ooh thank you Gerda Arendt, I will duck my head in to learn more! I have also been thinking of you – AleatoryPonderings started a delightful entry on Canadian puppeteer Micheline Legendre and it turns out her formation and indeed much of her work was with chamber and symphony orchestras! She was a violinist by training. Your expertise would be so welcome if it piques your interest at all. Innisfree987 (talk) 14:32, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Interesting woman. Will look, eventually, - I focus on one article a day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:06, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Wise! And thank you. Innisfree987 (talk) 15:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, the Innisfree Garden entry is transformed! I admit to bias :) but it seems like a fascinating and lovely place—well deserving of the fine entry you’ve developed out of that humble stub! I’m glad to see it’s up for DYK. And thank you also for your work on Micheline Legendre, it looks much cleaner now. Much appreciate your taking the time! Innisfree987 (talk) 23:17, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Great, thank you! Same can be said about Delon, developed from a humble stub! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:29, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I was drafting a reply...

I was drafting a reply to your comment at the Goodman AFD when it was closed.

Here is that reply, in case you are interested... Geo Swan (talk) 17:06, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks but l thought it was helpful that the AfD was closed so the community doesn’t spend more time on a matter that had come to consensus. Onward and upward! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback <3

You are fine as far as the edits, its wasnt you, however there were others who from just an regular IP edit on multiple occasions. I understand the terms of Wikipedia. And I always give room for others to contribute, its the fact checking I am most likely displeased with. This isnt the first time I came across vandalism from that page or others I helped to contribute with. especially from the Instagram Live viewership based on 'peaks'. Not the total amount. But thanks all help is always needed. And I agree if anything needs to be worded better please help to do so. It is appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tvfilmmusicfan (talk • contribs) 04:52, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Tvfilmmusicfan—def understand the frustration of repeat vandalism. Hopefully I can help a bit as far as tidying up so it’s clearer which changes are a problem, that sort of thing. Happy editing! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:09, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Image for Mary L. Trump

Hi Innisfree987. I was searching for a creative commons licensed photo of Mary L. Trump. I think this news clip on YouTube might be: [1]. I wish it has a better resolution. If you agree, could you help get a clipping? No worries if not! TJMSmith (talk) 01:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, very good question! Some time ago one of the regulars at the Commons told me that in these situations the subject (Mary) would have a copyright claim in their stream and therefore it wasn’t free, but I think that consensus did not hold and I’ve been meaning to see where things stand now. Let me take the opportunity to catch up about it and get back to you; as long as it’s free, I’ll be very happy to make an image! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:38, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, Oh, very interesting point! Thanks for looking into it. I'm curious what the outcome is among the commons experts. TJMSmith (talk) 01:42, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, well DRAT. I have learned a whole lot about the Zoom policy and was starting a screenshot when I realized—there is a logo in the upper right corner of the screen that I think maybe belong to a news outlet other than that YouTube channel. I’m not sure which (something in UK?) but when I started browsing, I found the channel had posted many videos they certainly don’t have the right to CC license, like this from the US channel ABC. I’m guessing now that the low resolution resulted from bootlegging the video from its original creator. So, sigh, I don’t have confidence in that license, Zoom issues aside. Very sorry about that! Innisfree987 (talk) 03:28, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, Better safe than sorry! I'm sure another image will eventually surface. Nonetheless, thank you for your time and efforts! TJMSmith (talk) 03:30, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Deborah N. Archer

Looks like I'm the first article, ( 20:41, 1 February 2021‎ ), but I was looking for help to flesh it out. Merging is amenable, lets get it done. CaptJayRuffins (talk) 02:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Yeah I’m not sure what happened because I searched both terms before I started, but in any case, cool, let’s do it. The names seem about equally valid (I slightly think without the initial is preferable, but both search terms will remain so that bit isn’t crucial.) Mainly it seems to me to me easiest to move content from Deborah N. Archer to Deborah Archer, which I’m happy to do, rather than redo all the formatting already in Deborah Archer a second time at Deborah N. Does that work for you CaptJayRuffins? Innisfree987 (talk) 03:18, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I know it seems small, but I've had a fair number of articles revised to other originators. I prefer your version, as it is more complete. I want the credit for writing first. How to do this, plus I wanted the initial in the name, it's a FBI thing, you'e not notable unless... CaptJayRuffins (talk) 03:58, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

You’re welcome to take credit however you like, that’s fine with me CaptJayRuffins. And we can definitely have the initial in the bolded name in the lead, I’m good with that. I think that’s probably the best option because otherwise to move my article to the Deborah N. page, we’d need to delete yours and then you won’t have your original draft and time stamp. I suggest we keep it and make it a redirect after the merge is finished, so it will still be there and you can link to it as something you started. Does that work? Innisfree987 (talk) 04:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Since we agree on the merge, I will get that started while you think about whether you prefer to keep the redirect or delete to move the page to Deborah N. (I’ve got a DYK nomination ready to go for this historic event, so I want to make sure it’s all taken care before DYK window expires.) Innisfree987 (talk) 20:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Just in case you need or want to see it, the diff for the merge with attribution to your page’s history is here. I’ll work on referencing, etc. next. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TJMSmith

Did you mean to leave an indented comment, or to !vote? All the best, Miniapolis 01:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Yup, Miniapolis, indented intentionally as I had already !voted; I was just agreeing that until this RFA I had thought TJM was already an admin, and for the same reasons mentioned. Innisfree987 (talk) 02:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Sonoma State Help

Hi -- I saw that you answered the call for some help at Sonoma State. I am not sure how best to go about avoiding the COI issues -- when an issue isn't a conflict but an improvement, if you know what I mean. Such as: I knew that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_H._V%C3%A1zquez had retired from SSU so I updated the page. Does that constitute a conflict? Thank you for your help! Mailperson (talk) 18:38, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

User:Innisfree987 this is Hollis Robbins! Appreciate you and your assistance! Missvain (talk) 18:52, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Missvain, thank you!
And welcome Mailperson! We are glad you are here and grateful for your contributions.
The thing to know about COI on Wikipedia is that it’s not a value judgment, it’s just a description of a situation, and we ask folks disclose them so we can figure out together how best to handle it in the interests of improving the encyclopedia and maintaining (and improving) its integrity.
So if you have personal connection to Francisco H. Vázquez, then you have a COI but you may also have valuable information to share. The recommended course of action is to add a note on the article’s talk page with your suggested edit and include the template {{request edit|N}} to notify experienced editors to come check and implement your suggestion. That’s a good way to get started and get a feel for things. It’s not strictly required and in this case, since it was some very basic, neutral info (i.e. something neither laudatory nor negative) and you included a source, I personally don’t feel your edit risks a perception of bias in the entry. But it can be a slippery slope, so always using the edit request template as you’re getting started is a good way to err on the side of caution.

I had another suggestion for when you want to propose bigger edits but I can’t seem to find your sandbox, so I will check into that. In the meantime, let me know if what I’ve said so far makes sense and what questions you have about it! Welcome again—I am always so glad when academics share their knowledge here, so I hope I can be helpful in facilitating that! Innisfree987 (talk) 19:29, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Great thank you -- I just made a sandbox. What a great concept! So just to be clear, if I have knowledge that an edit needs to be made (like a faculty retirement or promotion) I can run it through you rather than doing it myself? That makes sense if so and I am appreciative. Can I ask here and then put the proposed edit in my sandbox? Mailperson (talk) 19:48, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Wowza!! You already made your own sandbox—you are in good shape and will hardly need me!
And you’ve got the basic idea, of running it past an uninvolved editor like me rather than making the edit yourself.
What I would suggest is a two-pronged approach. For brief edits, navigate to the talk page of the entry in question, make your suggestion (including a reliable source verifying it) and place the Template:Edit request (details in that link). The first available editor will come help.
When you have edits to propose that are more substantial (a paragraph to add, for instance), you can work those up in your sandbox and then use the same edit request template to have someone check it over, or ping me and I’ll be glad to look at it if I’m available (it can be helpful to have a friendly face for longer additions that might get more complicated and require more explanation of WP policy.)
Thank you for working with us on COI compliance—it’s rare someone grasps the system so easily! Innisfree987 (talk) 20:03, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

(Have to go offline now but I’ll be back later or tomorrow! Innisfree987 (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2021 (UTC))

Thank you -- I put some important secondary sources in my sandbox (the formatting is a little off) which I think will resolve that issue. There had been some errors before and I appreciate your help in making it right. Thank you again! Mailperson (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Greg Sarris

A page that needs substantial help where I'm most concerned about COI is Greg Sarris. I can see what needs to be added but per your suggestion do not want to do it myself. Mailperson (talk) 19:54, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Mailperson, just left some feedback on your sandbox talk page—I would suggest essentially the same process here, of writing up which corrections (with sources) you propose, to be checked over by me or another editor, but I think it’s probably best to tackle one entry at a time! Innisfree987 (talk) 22:47, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Count Gibson

On 28 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Count Gibson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1955, physician Count Gibson became the first person outside the Tuskegee Syphilis Study to criticize its ethics, but the study continued for 17 more years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Count Gibson. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Count Gibson), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for the revert

Hi there, thanks for the revert of my revert of IP: 2601....; It looked suspicious and ungenuine to me; especially from an IP. But I reverted it without reading it properly. TravelAroundOz (talk) 07:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

TravelAroundOz, thanks for the note! I definitely understand large removals from IPs draw suspicion. Here we’re dealing with editors (often logged-in but newish ones) batch-adding large amounts of inappropriate material (eg, every time a politician tweets out a new set of endorsements). Only slowly are a few more folks learning the policy and doing cleanup, including a few IPs. So you might see more of these. Thanks for keeping an eye out so we don’t discourage the few who are doing this right! Innisfree987 (talk) 12:03, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

March 2021

Thank you for your fair re-editing of my work, which will assist my progression on Wikipedia. Cheers N1CKchooseanothername (talk) 03:44, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Screenshots of youtube video

Hello! I am working on Draft:Lupita Infante and found this YouTube interview: [2] that looks like it is under a creative commons license. I was going to nominate this for a DYK and would love to include an image of Infante if we can get a decent headshot. You've helped me before with similar requests. No worries if not! TJMSmith (talk) 22:04, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, with pleasure! I’ll ping when it’s ready (tomorrow at the latest, unless that’s too late for you?) Innisfree987 (talk) 22:10, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, Whenever is best for you! I will leave it in draft form until I add the image. The week long DYK clock doesn't start until it is moved to article space. Thank you! TJMSmith (talk) 22:12, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Lupita Infante interviewed in 2015

TJMSmith, well for better or worse that was quick work! There was really one angle that was clearly better than the rest, so I just did that one. Here you are! Innisfree987 (talk) 22:58, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, Thank you! I'm always so glad when I can find a PD photo! TJMSmith (talk) 22:59, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, absolutely—I’ve really gotten into illustrating and touching up images for WiR. Really adds a lot of information to the entry. I’m glad encouraging it is an editathon focus this month! Innisfree987 (talk) 23:02, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, actually, now I have a question to put to you—I see you successfully uploaded video, did you get video2commons to work? I have never been to, constant error messages. Or is there another way? Eager to know the secret to this! Innisfree987 (talk) 00:12, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, That was kind of an experiment. It was somewhat time consuming :/ although not hard. I googled a random YouTube downloaders, pasted the YT link. That downloaded it as an MP4 which isn't allowed on Commons...so then I uploaded the MP4 to a different site [freeconvert.com/mp4-to-webm] to convert it to a webm. video2commons looks awesome! I just tried it though and got an error message. TJMSmith (talk) 00:17, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, oh thanks for the details on how you worked around! Video2commons should be awesome but I’ve never succeeded and it seems I’m not alone—here’s a mordantly hilarious explanation of the situation from BlueRaspberry on the Commons. Innisfree987 (talk) 00:36, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, wanted to touch base about the review request on the photo, which I added back, and figure it’s easier to contact you here than have a parallel conversation on the Commons! For my money, those reviews turn out to be helpful—I was initially wary too but it’s so that someone with the reviewer perm will come add a tag affirming that on the upload date, the license was correct, so even if the original source changes their license later, the photo can remain on the Commons (because the CC license isn’t retractable). So it’s not an indication of a problem or lingering question with the image, it’s just an additional helpful process. Is that all alright by you? Innisfree987 (talk) 01:55, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, Of course! I thought it was duplicative of the "YouTube" template right above it. You learn something new everyday. TJMSmith (talk) 02:12, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, thank you, so appreciate your flexibility! I saw the DYK query meanwhile and you know, we can do this license attestation later (the Commons backlog for it is 3000 files deep!); I started to write an explanation there and realized I was needlessly complicating it! I’ll revert myself on the Commons, the image’s license is definitely not in doubt and don’t want anyone to worry it is. Innisfree987 (talk) 02:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Aedes de Venustas

On 21 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aedes de Venustas, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aedes de Venustas. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aedes de Venustas), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Photo vs portrait

Random question (other than we've collaborated on images before)...out of curiosity, which image in the Commons Category:Addison Rae do you think is better for the infobox at Addison Rae? I just found/uploaded the portrait but I'm not sure if it is an improvement of the actual but blurry image. Totally fine if you have no opinion! TJMSmith (talk) 05:03, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, wow it’s like you read my mind—have just been pondering the boundaries of an “encyclopedic” image, how much we need to hew to documentary standards versus artistic license in getting the best possible image. Real dilemma on that here! I guess I think that the photo is preferable, to keep it in line with most contemporary entries. I’d feel differently if the portrait were a well-known image of her, I think. It is better image in a lot of ways though. I wouldn’t object to either. Sorry not to have a firmer answer! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, Indeed, it is an interesting question! I was thinking along the same lines. I suppose in this modern instance, because Rae's career is just starting, it's inevitable that higher quality/freely licensed images will emerge rendering this comparison moot. Thanks for pondering! TJMSmith (talk) 05:45, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Robina Asti

On 24 March 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Robina Asti, which you nominated and updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Spencer^T•C 16:18, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

And it's got 5,622 page views on March 24. I added a page views widget to the Talk page, which is always about 24 hours behind, so only shows an empty graph right now, but by tomorrow, it might show something. Because of the ITN notification, the March 24 number may be the highest number of views the article ever gets. I imagine it will drop down to less than 50 per day, but will be interesting to watch. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 11:04, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the widget Mathglot! Since it’s still on Main, today’s number should be fairly high too. Glad to shed light on this interesting life—thanks again for suggesting we work on an article about her! Innisfree987 (talk) 13:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Perfumes by Jean-Claude Ellena

A tag has been placed on Category:Perfumes by Jean-Claude Ellena requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Isaac Saul Article

Hi there! I noticed that you marked my new article Isaac Saul as possibly not qualifying for Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Would you mind explaining why this is? I'm a fairly new editor, so you could be completely right, but I had thought that I was in compliance with the guideline for the argument I made here. Let me know what you think!

Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by dictionary/Dictionary of Women Worldwide

It was me what messed up the formatting there actually, and I saw it and meant to go back and fix it but got distracted and totally forgot. ☕ Antiqueight ^chatter 11:53, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Antiqueight, ha, ok if you say so (you would definitely know better than I!) I was guessing the brackets or something else I had added manually confused the automation. I was just idly fiddling anyway so I really will buckle down and finish some drafts instead! Terrific aviator bios by the way—such good additions. Recording the contributions of Dorothy Hilliard Davis feels especially meaningful. Thank you for all the work on multiple levels, to bring them to the fore! Innisfree987 (talk) 12:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. As far as I'm concerned you have the much harder task and I'm happy to help in the way I can. ☕ Antiqueight ^chatter 11:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

No no, all good! All the changes you made are below where you noted “working” (thank you that is so helpful!) Innisfree987 (talk) 20:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

my 'wikify' edits

I see there was an excel method being used earlier, but as it seemed a bit complicated I wrote a short script to do the transformation. It seems to work OK, so I think that process should be quite quick now. It should be able to handle turning capitalized section headings into === section headings, so hopefully will help with the rest of the alphabet. Dsp13 (talk) 20:47, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Oh that’s great Dsp13, thank you! I’ve just dropped in a page from the index totally unsorted so you could see/test the script. Let me know if there’s any front-end formatting it needs or if it’s all set as is! Innisfree987 (talk) 20:56, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Nice! I'll go have a look now Dsp13 (talk) 21:00, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Look OK? Dsp13 (talk) 21:14, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Wow, slam dunk! Thank you Dsp13, this is great—Antiqueight has been heroically shouldering this step alone for some 70 pages so lightening the load is wonderful. If anything Gamaliel (who is entering the redlinks into Wikidata) and I will have a hard time keeping up with you two, ha! Given the fork issue, maybe now’s a good time to sort that out and then we can put a bit batch in the new page? Innisfree987 (talk) 21:23, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Aristos

Agree with you expending this effort on people with weird titles is odd! Thought you might be amused that the Scots wikipedia, but not the English wikipedia, has one of this lot: sco:Princess_Lucia_o_the_Twa_Sicilies Dsp13 (talk) 17:51, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Ha! I guess all the 'pedias really are at the mercy of whatever vagaries define folks’ interest... for my part I will be glad when we move through these! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:59, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I don't myself find the particular aristocratic naming conventions interesting, but I do find the fact that aristocratic women have so many name variations interesting. I think there are several different factors: (1) for patriarchal reasons (women's status being defined in relation to men) women often undergo name changes in their lifetime; (2) aristocratic status distinctions multiply names; (3) aristocrats are relatively likely to be historical characters, for whom naming conventions change over time; (4) aristocrats are fairly international in their activity (and were so before written English became such a dominant international convention) so that there's also geographical / linguistic variation. Dsp13 (talk) 19:16, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

It’s definitely important history, or adds up to be anyway—good motivator to keep going altho I fear my brain is just not made for it, parsing the small differences to make sure we have the correct person is frying me a bit. When you come to cases where the person listed in DoWW is clearly already described in WP, please feel free to take them off the list, if it doesn’t add inconvenience for you! For now the main goal is to identify true red links, though there’s a ton of important work that can be done with so many of the blue links (hence saving each wikified batch altho that may be quixotic.) Innisfree987 (talk) 20:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Jamal Awadh Nasser

The article linked does not mention him by name, at any point. There is nothing to substantiate that Jamal Awadh Nasser was the ambassador who resigned, that there even was an ambassador named Jamal Awadh Nasser, et cetera. The guy's name could have been Clownshoes McGee, for all we know. If you want to find some sources to back up what's in the article, I'm all in favor of it, but this isn't an acceptable source. jp×g 03:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

JPxG, before receiving your message, I had already added a source confirming his role, which makes the information about that ambassador’s resignation relevant to this biography. Please don’t delete useful sources. Innisfree987 (talk) 03:19, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I see that you were adding a reference to the article at the very minute I was typing out this comment. Very good work! Carry on. jp×g 03:20, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

JPxG, thanks. Happy editing, Innisfree987 (talk) 03:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

If you like finding sources for articles like this, you might be interested in the last couple AfDs I've nominated (as well as my User:JPxG/PROD log). I am currently going through Wikipedia:Database reports/Shortest biographies of living people, and finding a lot of them that are in quite bad shape. In fact, if you'd like, I could just make a list of the worst ones I'm finding, and just link them here instead of PRODing them (then only PROD/AfD the ones that neither of us can find anything for). jp×g 03:27, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

JPxG, sure. I have a few projects going but I’ll try my hand at it if you want to link some here. Especially with cases like this, dealing with areas en-wiki has significantly underdescribed to date, I’d rather see them referenced than deleted if possible.

Congrats!

With your article on Nettie Ottenberg we just hit the halfway point to our goal of 100 articles. Thank you! I've highlighted your article on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wikimediadc/status/1392545711447756809 Gamaliel (talk) 18:26, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Gamaliel, oh hoorah! I grew quite fond of her as I wrote—she really did it all! As the Washington Post pointed out, the day care she championed became an issue as more well-to-do women went to work—which partly resulted from the suffrage efforts she also championed! Quite a life. Thanks for highlighting her! Innisfree987 (talk) 18:37, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Restored revision 1022862547 by MASMI92 (talk): Please read WP:ENDORSE, it’s not long!

Why is there no consistency then? On the 2021 Boston mayor election, the source for Michelle Wu’s endorsement by Elizabeth Warren is a tweet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Boston_mayoral_election#Endorsements. In the 2020 US Senate in NC Race, the source for Cal’s endorsement by Obama was a Medium post by him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_Senate_election_in_North_Carolina#Endorsements_3. And for the 2020 US Senate in GA (Regular) race, the source for an Ossoff endorsement by him is also a Medium post by him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–21_United_States_Senate_election_in_Georgia#Endorsements_2. And this is across many of the 2020 US Senate pages. Why are these Medium posts and tweets considered reliable independent sources, but not the edits made by me? Muhibm0307 (talk) 05:27, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

I have also already read WP:ENDORSE. But, Wikipedia endorsement citation needs to be consistent, since as I said, many endorsements do not appear to follow the policy. Muhibm0307 (talk) 05:40, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Muhibm0307, thanks for pointing out these places where the text doesn’t (yet) live up to policy. As we are all volunteers, we’d appreciate your help fixing those too. Thanks! Innisfree987 (talk) 11:51, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

DYK Hugo Torres Jiménez

Hi. Plz check the DYK nomination to see if you agree with my suggestion. Cheers. --CoryGlee (talk) 19:43, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Lucy Buck

Thanks for the assistance on this. I figured there might be some stuff I was missing, but by the time I'd cobbled things together I had to leave to go to dinner. I do, however, know where to get a photograph, which I'll be adding to the article shortly. Here's hoping I can find her grave tomorrow and get a picture of that as well. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 15:33, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Ser Amantio di Nicolao, my pleasure, what an interesting figure! I’m surprised I hadn’t come across her sooner—thanks so much for this overdue entry. The “never married” part is curious given the context; I wonder if scholars have more to say about that. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:33, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Are you a particular Civil War buff? The only reason I came across her is because I was researching Front Royal and Prospect Hill Cemetery, in preparation for my visit - I'd like to find as many graves as possible in one go. Otherwise I doubt I'd have heard of her, either, not being particularly interested in the era (my Southern heritage notwithstanding...which might come as a surprise to some people.) I will also admit that I am, perhaps a bit more attuned to her because I live not that far away from Warren County.

(That being said, I have to say that I do enjoy the Civil War Trails Program markers whenever I come across them; they take a more localized view of history, rather than focusing only on the big stories, and they're very well put-together, unlike a lot of similar placard markers - I actually feel like I learn something from them.)

I'm not entirely surprised, given what I'm turning up of her character, that she didn't marry: this academic paper (which I'm not sure is a useful source in and of itself) distills some of her diary entries to reveal a young woman who wasn't entirely comfortable with the social mores of the South. Very similar, as it happens, to a couple of women in my own lineage who also never married. Honestly, I'm sorry we don't have more information about her post-war activities; I'd be very interested to know what causes she espoused in the latter years of the century. (Or tried to espouse, at any rate - Front Royal was far enough from the main centers of power that I doubt that any progressive notions ever gained much headway there, at least in those years.) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:47, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Ser Amantio di Nicolao, I can’t say I’m a Civil War buff, just familiar with the primary source texts that most commonly get assigned to US history students and this is one I didn’t know. But three different editions means it’s quite popular somewhere! Your photographing trip sounds great, beautiful area. You’re lucky to be nearby! And very much agree, I wish I knew what happened to her next! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:20, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

I get the impression, from the reviews, that this is a text which is more likely to be assigned in specialized classes, rather than general interest. (Much as I love the Shenandoah Valley, I think there were other campaigns likelier to be of interest to the general historian of the war.)

I love the area around Front Royal. My own trips out to the mountains usually end up a bit further south - between Sperryville and Luray, if you know the area at all - but I get into Front Royal from time to time. (This is actually more a drinking trip than a photographing trip - I've convinced some friends to visit the Virginia Beer Museum, and my payment is an hour's time or so pursuing my editing. :-)) It's slowly turning into a bedroom community of DC, which all told isn't the worst thing that could happen to it. It's barely an hour and a half from downtown via I-66. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:21, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Oh no—Ser Amantio di Nicolao my reply to you disappeared! I thought I wrote days ago but obviously not! Well I hope the beer and photographing were thoroughly enjoyed, and I’m looking forward to seeing the graves you were able to identify. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:36, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

The beer was pleasant. ("Beer Museum" is enough of a misnomer that I don't think I'll be writing an article any time soon - it's really more of a glorified saloon. But a.) it has free admission, and b.) it has Virginia beers on tap, so I'm not complaining. :-)) We ended up doing a quick blitz of the cemetery and finding everyone on my list save one individual (who I stupidly forgot to look for - I think I know exactly where his grave is, and I walked right by it.) Including Lucy Buck - I haven't uploaded the images from the trip yet, but I'll be adding her grave to the article once I do. Incidentally, she's not the only one of my past subjects whose grave I was able to find on the day: I also visited Jennie Lea Knight's grave on the way out. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:06, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

AfC to DYK

Brilliant work. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 11:03, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Victuallers, thank you so much for these kind words! And for the excellent idea to put Messing up for DYK. All much appreciated. It’s been very interesting doing AfC just for bios of women. Even if there are many I couldn’t immediately approve, there are far fewer of the obvious-advertising variety—on average the quality of proposal is much higher. It makes me so optimistic—we just need to catch these editors faster and we’ll enlarge our corps of WP editors writing on women significantly! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:33, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Recruitment drive on Ava Lovelace Day

I've started adapting this, trying to set the tone. If you think you can continue along the same lines, please go ahead. It would be useful to have some inputs from Victuallers and all his friends. Let's try to get something solid together by 15-20 September.--Ipigott (talk) 15:53, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Ipigott, thanks for updating it to better reflect the event. Here’s a link so Victuallers and anyone else involved who wishes can do so as well: user:Innisfree987/sandbox/Ada_Lovelace_Day. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:30, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Exiliada

Hi! I recently created the article of the documentary Exiliada. I thought you might be interested in it, particularly after seeing you have uploaded an image of the director, Leonor Zúniga. Best regards! --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:47, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

NoonIcarus, so interested! Thanks for the ping, I’ll try to add some reviews to resolve that tag. Innisfree987 (talk) 22:49, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Photo of Aalayah Eastmond

Hello! I was looking for a PD photo of Aalayah Eastmond. It doesn't appear that any of the videos C-SPAN has containing her were taken in the Senate or House chambers, but her appearance in the Kavanaugh hearings was filmed by the Senate judiciary committee (video here). An image extracted from that should be {{PD-USGov-Congress}}. She appears around 3:57. Any chance you could do a screen grab whenever you have a chance? TJMSmith (talk) 20:53, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, ooh you’ve taught me something new—I’ve wanted to use CSPAN in the past and didn’t know when it was/wasn’t ok. Happy to make an image! Will report back when done. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:58, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith,  Done! I think it’s of acceptable quality tho I will take a moment to express my annoyance with the camera work which lit the white speakers immaculately but not so for Eastmond. I did my best to correct it, but there’s sadly only so much to be done for an image that’s underexposed to start. Extremely frustrating (more so because of how common the problem is). /end rant! Innisfree987 (talk) 22:07, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

You're awesome! Thank you so much! TJMSmith (talk) 22:24, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

YT photo of Lorelle D. Semley

I wish there were more options for a photo of Lorelle D. Semley, a historian of Africa. I found [3]. She appears on screen at 30:24 and 36:31. What are your thoughts? TJMSmith (talk) 20:50, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, oh a valiant effort. Alas, I think a distorted angle on webcam footage that was never meant to be projected to that size to begin is too far below standard to justify a screencap—if we add, it will become one of the first Google image results for her name and I think that does not conform to our mission to improve available knowledge.
If only the tools were working/I had a better command of them, it would be neat tho to add a clip of her speaking; that seems like a clearer value-add. But I’m afraid that’s largely beyond my expertise! Innisfree987 (talk) 21:34, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, on a different subject, if you’re around, I’m wondering if you’ve continued to admin over at WP:ITN/C—user Cedar777 did a great job rehauling the Yolanda López page and now it’s up to snuff, but will drop off the queue in a couple of hours if not posted, and I know ITN tends to slow down on the weekends. Just if you have time/inclination to have a look! Innisfree987 (talk) 21:45, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for the heads up and for taking a look! TJMSmith (talk) 22:08, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Could you do a screengrab of this video: [4]? Absolutely no rush on this. I can add it to WIR-208 once it's uploaded. Thank you! TJMSmith (talk) 16:50, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, done, with pleasure! Well done on the entry, a nice addition to the writers editathon! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:37, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Full circle...new article on feminist historian

Last year you started an article on Sarah Wilkerson Freeman in support of SusunW's Women's poll tax repeal movement initiative. I finally circled back and started Jane Sherron De Hart. She was Wilkerson Freeman's doctoral advisor. TJMSmith (talk) 21:48, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

TJMSmith, oh terrific work! So glad to see her name blue-linked. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:58, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Ada Lovelace day event

Kia ora, I have edited the Ada Lovelace day 24 hour event that you set up - hopefully all correct - I am not so familiar with editing in this part of Wikipedia. Pakoire (talk) 20:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Pakoire, it looks great! So will there just be one event for Australia and New Zealand? If you like, I can change the name of the subpage to reflect that. And delete the unused page. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:55, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Yes - one 10 hour event across multiple timezones on one zoom link. I think I have changed the names of the subpages / tabs? I tried to anyway. Pakoire (talk) 20:59, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Wow!! Ten hours—amazing! Yes you changed the name perfectly, I should have been more precise—I could change the URL. Right now it is WP:Meetup/Ada Lovelace Day/New Zealand but it could be WP:Meetup/Ada Lovelace Day/NZ and AUS for example. Maybe it doesn’t matter—whatever you think!

WiG

Hiya we talked a few months back about me reviewing a GA submission by you for the Women in Green October drive, is that still something you'd like to work on together? Cheers! Mujinga (talk) 13:00, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for this ping Mujinga. I’d been dithering because of off-wiki life interruptions but yes, I would really like to do this so this is the right use of the on-wiki time I have. I had been planning to ask for a mini-review so I could pace out my work, but what’s your preference? Would you rather we dive right in (it’s a B-class article—Vilma Núñez) altho it might take me more than a week to work through all notes; or I could ask for the mini review first and bring you something nearer to a finished product a little later in the month. Whatever timeframe you prefer. Thanks so much for offering to work with me! Innisfree987 (talk) 20:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes I'm also quite busy IRL but checking wikipedia regularly and up for doing this. I'd say after a quick read Vilma Núñez would be ok to just nominate and then I'll take it on. Please ping me if you do that, I'm not editing much lately but I still check in often. I'm fine with extending the usual week process so you have time to fit around commitments, that's not a problem. I scould start the review this week I reckon. Cheers! Mujinga (talk) 09:41, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Mujinga this sounds great. I’ll do the nomination right now. Thanks very much, looking forward to your thoughts (at your convenience!) Innisfree987 (talk) 17:32, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Great I've taken on the review, I'll hope to get some comments over the weekend, if not for sure early next week. Cheers! Mujinga (talk) 16:52, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

@Mujinga, excellent! No rush on my account but looking forward to it as time allows you! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:56, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Martha Henry

Hi - long time, no talk. Hope you're well. Wondering if I can take advantage of your image expertise. There are a number of great, professional photos of Martha Henry at the Toronto Star photo archive hosted by the Toronto Public Library here. Do you know if the Star would have to contact OTRS directly to re-licence one of these photos for wiki-use? (They're all listed as under copyright atm, and this page directs people who want to use the photos to contact a generic email at the Star's parent corp.) Or is there a way we could fair-use one of them? AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 02:10, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @AleatoryPonderings, hope you’re well! These are great images.
Various considerations: some WP folks are of the opinion that just a matter of days after death is not long enough to have truly exhausted the possibility of finding a free image, a requirement for a fair-use claim. This is a disputed position tho, and I have recently seen an admin add an image basically immediately, which seems to be what happened here. So I will take it on good faith that the editor already looked for a free image and came up truly empty-handed, in which case you could really choose any image—but only one—from any source to be the identifying fair-use image for Henry’s infobox.
However, if the Star did free an image (here’s the release generator), or someone else did, that would have to replace any fair-use image.
Does that make sense? (I mean. I realize it’s not entirely commonsensical, but let me know if my explanation of the requirements doesn’t follow!) Innisfree987 (talk) 02:33, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Ooh, thanks for that link – super helpful. I think I will email the Star and see what they say (99% chance the answer is "not in a million years", but ya gotta try …) AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 02:41, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Happy to help! And it would be terrific if they were feeling generous! But don’t worry if not—it doesn’t preclude a fair-use claim. In fact it may bolster it because you really tried to get a free image! Innisfree987 (talk) 03:16, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Welp, got the following auto-reply to my email: "Photos from the Toronto Star Archive at the Toronto Public Library are for personal use only. The Toronto Star retains the copyright to these images and they must be licensed for any other use through https://www.gettyimages.ca/collections/toronto-star." A "small" version (under a non-Commons acceptable licence, no doubt) runs for a cool CAD 175. Copyright is great! AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 21:55, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@AleatoryPonderings, ha well then, not beating around the bush! If it’s any consolation, I believe the WMF lawyer-vetted view still allows a fair-use image of your choice. But speaking of images, if you have a moment (no worries if you don’t), may I ask for your gut take on the request at Talk:Jenna Wortham? Personally, it seems less encyclopedic to me to swap in a foto where the subject’s face is partially obscured? But I don’t know if I’m being fussy. Innisfree987 (talk) 22:11, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I agree with your gut take. The current infobox photo is better. I'm also not convinced that those pics are genuinely freely licensed. Best to stick with the status quo. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 22:29, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Yup it seemed like a whole Thing. Agree with leaving it as it. Thank you, as ever greatly appreciate your considered input! Innisfree987 (talk) 22:54, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Vilma Núñez

The article Vilma Núñez you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Vilma Núñez for comments about the article. Well done!

your edits/reverts of my edits on 2021 Nicaraguan presidential election

You removed an edit I made clarifying why a Nicaraguan opposition VP candidate was arrested (she made public comments of support for the 2018 attempted coup). You claimed I did not provide a citation for the claim, however, this claim is in the citation which was provided by someone else, but was removed by someone else. This is NOT a violation of WP:BLP. No idea what you are talking about. I have added the info back and moved the citation right next to it so you don't miss it. The article can be found at https://elpais.com/internacional/2021-08-04/daniel-ortega-impone-prision-domiciliaria-a-berenice-quezada-la-reina-de-belleza-que-aspiraba-a-la-vicepresidencia-de-nicaragua.html. The article is very critical of Ortega, but provides context for the reason for Quezada's arrest (sympathizing with terrorists). Please do not remove this information again. Thanks! Asaturn (talk) 06:07, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

I would like to say thank you for clarifying the controversey section with citations and details on arrests. I made similar edits in the intro but with more brevity. Asaturn (talk) 06:21, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your note @Asaturn. I’m not sure if you know since you’re relatively new but one Wikipedia policy is to WP:Assume good faith of fellow editors. Most of us are here to write the best encyclopedia we can. As for what I was talking about with the BLP violation, there are very narrow rules about discussing unproven crimes at all, and in brief it needs to stick to the fact allegations were made (if covered in reliable secondary sources); it should not imply those allegations are true. Wikipedia presumes innocence until a conviction says otherwise. Hope that helps. Innisfree987 (talk) 06:44, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Having been accused of being a troll, breaking rules, having my edits reverted in bad faith, etc, all day long, I can say that at least now you're willing to assume I'm not here to spread propaganda. Your reverts to my original edits implied I was not. I just think the article needs work. There are two sides to every story, and unless Wikipedia is sponsored by the US State Department, it shouldn't be in the business of assuming that only one side is worthy of telling. I am not "new" to Wikipedia, I have simply been completely uninterested in arguing with blatant self-promoting going on around articles for US elected officials and policies promoted by business lobbyists as "neutral" when they clearly are not. The only thing I'm "new" to is in-depth edits. I'm sure you can agree the default editing system is a steep learning curve. Looking forward to more good edits on that article! Asaturn (talk) 07:02, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Just as I submitted my last note I saw that you once again reverted my edits regarding Berenice Quezada, claiming the article cited does not say that she expressed sympathy for the terrorists behind the attempted coup in 2018. However, if you go and read the article (which is in Spanish), she is quoted as saying: “En Nicaragua las condiciones (electorales) nunca han estado. Las condiciones las pone el pueblo. ¿Y cómo las pone? Saliendo a votar y como lo hemos hecho en las calles; como lo hicimos en 2018, en abril. El 7 de noviembre tenemos que demostrar que Nicaragua no los quiere en el poder” -- My Spanish isn't great, but this roughly translates to "In Nicaragua, the (electoral) conditions aren't set by the government, they're set by the people. And how do we set them? By marching in the streets, like we did in 2018, in April. On Nov 7, let's show Ortega that we don't want him in power!" The reference to April 2018 is the Nicaraguan right-wing coup attempt of 18 April 2018. For context, the Jan 6 events in the USA are characterized on this very website as an attempted coup, but Nicaragua's events are characterized as a "civil protest" (even though unlike the US Jan 6 events, hundreds died and thousands were injured, according to the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932021_Nicaraguan_protests). For a candidate for vice president to reference these horrible events and call for them to be repeated is a notable thing and I believe it should be referenced specifically, as it is in the cited article. Simply characterizing a call for another coup attempt (and in turn, hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries) as "apology for crime and incitement to hatred" erases the specific thing she said and allows the reader of the article to assume, because of the biased tone of the rest of the citations in the article, that these are just more bogus charges. So, as a compromise, what if we change it to say: '... "apology for crime and incitement to hatred," in response to her campaign statements calling for a repeat of the 2018-2021 Nicaraguan protests.' ??? This is very neutral in tone and does not specifically imply she called for death (even though she literally did). It references the specific event and can link to the article for more context. Let me know, I will await your response before making the edit. Asaturn (talk) 07:25, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi. This seems relatively neutral and I agree, clearer to link to the related page, but to emphasize, Wikipedia presumes innocence so I’ll minority tweak so as not to make a conclusive statement in wiki-voice about her comments. I’ll make the change now. Innisfree987 (talk) 02:37, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Just a note, it looks like both of our edits have been reverted by users accusing us of being communist sympathizers. I've opened a COI on the noticeboard asking for admin invervention as I believe this is becoming personal. Thanks for your good faith edits and apologies if I misunderstood or came off as insulting! Asaturn (talk) 00:50, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks again for the note, sorry my reply will be delayed—am under the weather but will try to make my way through the various discussions as I can. Innisfree987 (talk) 02:05, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

I never accused Innisfree of being a communist sympathizer, nor did I accuse you of such. I simply stated the obvious fact that you, Asaturn, have repeatedly added communist propaganda to the article and have been reverted numerous times by multiple editors, including myself and Innisfree.

Spencer Ackerman article

Hi Innisfree987, I just wanted to ping you once again and let you know that I found some time last week to implement the previously discussed changes to the Spencer Ackerman article. I've removed of the material that relied entirely on primary sources and brought in as many secondary sources as I could find. WRD2030 (talk) 20:56, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

@WRD2030, thanks for this head’s up! I saw your ping that you were planning on it but missed the edits. Look forward to reading. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:15, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, I just saw your latest changes. Are interviews with the subject (such as the 2009 CJR piece) not usable for a biography? WRD2030 (talk) 18:35, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

@WRD2030, per WP:BLP, such primary-sourced (ie not fact-checked) claims should not be used when they are "unduly self-serving", as is very much the case with Ackerman describing his own work as ‘a new approach’ and ‘detailed and innovative coverage’. I’ll add the overall promotionalism of the entry continues to concern me. I’ll continue editing as I have bandwidth. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:47, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Innisfree987, I see. Thank you for clarifying. WRD2030 (talk) 19:46, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

today memories of singing Monteverdi, Handel, Rossini - a triple nod to Brian, an unsurpassed model of constant kindness and helpfulness coupled with competence! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:43, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Jandir Rodríguez

Hi! I hope you're alright. I was wondering if by any chance you could have a image of better quality of musician Jandir Rodríguez than this one. Many thanks in advance! --NoonIcarus (talk) 13:39, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

@NoonIcarus, hey there, happy to help with this. Here’s one to start: File:Jandir Ródríguez 2019.jpg.
The same video this is from has some better shots (of him actually playing/with a nicer background) that I could screengrab. But, my spoken Spanish is weak so I wasn’t clear on whether those clips were actually taped by Esta Noche or if they were made separately and Esta Noche just had permission to air them—it makes a difference as Esta Noche/Confidencial probably only really has the right to put a Creative Commons license on things they make. (That’s why I screengrabbed from the interview.)
Anyway all to say, if you want to watch and see if I missed them saying something like “Our crew filmed Jandir…” or “Jandir played for us…” and note the time stamp, I can make a better pic! Or maybe this one is adequate—def an improvement. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:52, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks! Definitely! I'd look forward to listening tto the video closer in the following days. Best regards and happy holidays beforehand :) --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:52, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Happy holidays to you too @NoonIcarus! Innisfree987 (talk) 00:59, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Women in Business

Thanks first of all, Innisfree, for all the excellent work you've been doing on ITN. Very impressive. I also greatly appreciate your early preparations for the January WiR meetup pages. In this connection, your development of the Wikidata DOWW redlink list is just what we need. As you seem to be developing a "feel" for this sphere of interest, I wondered if you would like to have a look at wp:Women in Business. It was put together rather hastily a few months ago on the basis of WikiProject Women in Music. Rosiestep noticed it and suggested Ser Amantio di Nicolao could use his magic to expand it on the basis of robot-based work on categories, etc. With a wave of his wand, he added several thousand new articles, most of which were pertinent and useful. I've being doing a bit of work on assessment, etc., and the project is now beginning to look quite reasonable. As there are so few participants, there have been only basic improvements to the project page and no useful discussions on the talk page. Maybe you could take a look yourself. If you think it is a viable project, you could become a participant yourself and generally try to make it look a bit more attractive. Maybe you could also suggest how we could encourage more participants to become actively involved. Despite my efforts, up to now only one other WiR contributor has joined. I don't want to overburden you with this so just let me know if you are too busy to follow up.--Ipigott (talk) 16:01, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words and for bringing this to my attention @Ipigott! My time is a bit unpredictable for the next little while but I’ll be glad to have a look when I can. I confess business isn’t really my calling but I definitely don’t mind helping spiff things up and perhaps I’ll find some topics of interest on the labor side.

C-SPAN photo of Michael Fanone

Hello! I started an article on Michael Fanone. He has a few appearances in Congress. I think we determined a while back that C-SPAN footage in Congress is PD. Is that true? If so, is there any chance you could add a screenshot to Commons? No worries if not! TJMSmith (talk) 16:21, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

All set @TJMSmith! You can see the terms for using CSPAN if you click through on the file: File:Michael Fanone 27 July 2021.jpg. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:43, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Now I see PD-CSPAN. TJMSmith (talk) 18:48, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Mass messaging for WiR

I see, Innisfree, that you have still been fairly active during the Christmas period. As Megalibrarygirl has not edited for over a week, you might like to consider sending out the January invitations over the next couple of days. I realize you said you would prefer not to be involved this month but there seems to be little interest from anyone else. And while I'm here, thanks for the enormous support you have given to WiR in 2021 and all the best for 2022.--Ipigott (talk) 07:58, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Innisfree and Ipigott! Sorry to be MIA. Parents were visiting last week! It was wonderful and exhausting all at once. :P Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:26, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Well as Innisfree seems to be tied up at the moment Megalibrarygirl, it would be great if you could handle the mass messaging if you can spare the time for it.--Ipigott (talk) 15:31, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

@Ipigott, @Megalibrarygirl, thank you both, as expected my availability has gotten scarce. Hope it won’t be too long before I’m back more consistently. Meanwhile happy new year! Innisfree987 (talk) 22:24, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
