Discussion about Nat Turner article edit
Might I suggest you show this process discussion about Nat Turner: WP:Articles_for_deletion/Nat_Turner It might help students understand how certain "big" decisions are made here. To get a sense of how important the article Nat Turner's slave rebellion is, this data shows that it gets about 1,000 views per day. --David Tornheim (talk) 00:02, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @David Tornheim, I will check it out! Saguaro23 (talk) 19:30, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia and the Outsider Within edit
Hi there, Saguaro23, and thank you for your paper "Wikipedia and the Outsider Within: Black Feminism and Social Inequality in Knowledge Sharing". You may be interested in the discussion on the paper on the Women in Red talkpage. I was particularly interested in your findings as I try to follow the involvement of female students in WikiEdu. As far as I can see, none of the students on the Howard University course continued editing Wikipedia. It was good to see three of them contributed to the paper (although apart from Cheesesteaklover16 it is difficult to associate them with their Wikipedia user names). I see you are now a WikiEdu instructor at Arizona State. You might like to bring WikiProject Women in Red to the attention of your students. We are always ready to help them along. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 14:46, 27 February 2024 (UTC) --Ipigott (talk) 14:46, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @Ipigott! I have just signed up for the Women in Red project and am curious to see what happens next. How would my students be able to access support via the group?
- Relatedly, I have had students working on adding images to Wikipedia over the last few years, and plan to make that work the subject of my next article on Wikipedia. I see that Women in Red has an images project. If there are others that you can suggest as well, I would appreciate it. Saguaro23 (talk) 16:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, thanks for joining, Saguaro23, and welcome to Women in Red. Thanks also for your comments on our WIR talk page. We have a lot to offer from Women in Red, in terms both of resources and assistance. I would first draw your attention to our essays and would suggest you look through our Primer and then at our more succinct Ten Simple Rules which may be more suitable for students. In connection with environmental justice organizations, campaigns and activists, you should certainly look at some of our redlinked lists whick often prove useful in identifying topics for articles (although they always need to be supported by reliable independent sources). In particular, you should look at Environmentalists, Earth scientists and US Department of Agriculture. But you may find other pertinent items if you just browse through the lists. We can certainly offer help with images, especially in connection with historical subjects. If you can define your goals more clearly, I can put you in touch with experienced collaborators. Several other WikiEdu instructors and students have joined WIR and have generally appreciated our assistance. In any case, if ever you run into problems or face difficulties, you are welcome to contact me for assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 17:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Links to user pages and sandboxes edit
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to user pages or sandboxes, as you did at Dilkon, Arizona. Since these pages have not been accepted as articles, user pages, sandboxes and drafts are not suitable for linking in articles. and such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been deleted, please do not re-add any such links, thank you - Arjayay (talk) 20:18, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Arjayay - I had been told that when preparing to publish a new article it is appropriate to link to it from other live articles in order to avoid an orphan article, is that not the case? Saguaro23 (talk) 21:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- No. When an article has been accepted, such links are encouraged, but not to a draft - as per MOS:DRAFTNOLINK - Arjayay (talk) 21:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
