Viola Burley Leak

[edit]

Hello Bookworm-ce, thank you for starting the article for Viola Burley Leak. I had been working on a draft for the same subject, around the same time, and I merged the two together today, with some minor copy edits. Please feel free to make any additional changes. Thanks again! PigeonChickenFish (talk) 21:46, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jinx! Your edits look great, thanks so much, PigeonChickenFish! Best, Bookworm-ce (talk) 21:52, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tip of the month:

  • When creating biographies, don't forget to use Template:DEFAULTSORT.
    Accessible from "Wiki markup" at the foot of the page being edited,
    it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.

Moving the needle: (statistics available via Humaniki tool)

  • 24 Mar 2025: 20.070% of biographies on EN-WP are about women (2,057,083, 412,857 women)

About your newspaper citations

[edit]

Hey Bookworm-ce! Thanks for your hard work creating biographies of women recently. I wanted to ask if you've ever considered applying for Newspapers.com access though the Wikipedia Library. You almost certainly qualify for a free account, which will help improve the accessibility of citations when you reference offline news sources; I've added some clips to Helen Vandervort Smith, for example. I think you'd find it useful! As a side note, please consider creating talk pages for the articles you write and tagging them with the appropriate WikiProjects, which helps get more eyes on things — I find the Rater tool great for doing both. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:26, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, TechnoSquirrel69! First off, thank you for suggesting me as an autopatrolled user, such a nice vote of confidence!
I can try to start adding WikiProjects to the Talk pages going forward. I've never used Rater before but just gave it a shot on Helen Arvonen, hope that looks right?
As for Newspapers.com, I actually use it a lot; I previously accessed it via the Wikipedia Library but now have it via another source so haven't bothered re-applying. I know the direct clip links are useful for readers, but since they include the clipper's account info I'm concerned about compromising my anonymity by adding them. If you know a way to include them without the clipper's ID, please let me know!
Thanks, Bookworm-ce (talk) 14:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That talk page looks good to me; I went ahead and added an article class as well, which you can also do for your own articles, but you're by no means required to do so. I can understand the need to protect your privacy when using Newspapers.com, but I don't know of a way to create clips without identifying yourself. The way I protect mine is the same way I do on Wikipedia: by using a pseudonym, as you can see here. I believe Newspapers.com should let you change your username if your current one contains information that could identify you. Hope that helps, and I'm happy to answer any other questions if you have them! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:33, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

[edit]

Hi Bookworm-ce, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:56, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Femke, glad to know I'm hitting the mark! I'll keep doing my best going forward, although I will miss seeing new page reviewers (JTtheOG more times than not!) in my notifications. Best, Bookworm-ce (talk) 14:12, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will likewise miss catching your new articles! Congratulations and keep up the great work. JTtheOG (talk) 19:11, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Who are the most overlooked and interesting Women in Red? We've no idea,
    but we're putting together our list of the 100 most interesting ex-Women in Red.
    We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
    We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
    Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
    If you are shy about editing that page, you are welcome to add ideas and comments on the talk page.
