Talk:Harriet A. Glazebrook

New article

@Tchula65: In my User Talk Page we discussed this new article:

I'm going to have to take some time to learn what Special:WhatLinksHere/Harriet A. Glazebrook is along with everything on Harriet's 'Talk' page before I pursue any other projects 🧐. So far as I understand it appears my article barely made the cut and needs more work but I'm game to make it better and raise the bar Tchula65 (talk) 00:41, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Yes, there are many things you can learn about an article that will help in understanding and improving its place in the encyclopedia. For one thing, the information in that colored box at the top of the talk page can be somewhat useful. It says how the article fits into various topical Wikiprojects, which is to say special interest groups.

Perhaps more important, the menu at the left side of the article page has several good things. WP:What links here gives various Wikipedia pages that have a link to the article. As it happens, all of those links are from pages that are about internal Wikipedia editorial action; none is an article about something in the outside world. If this article's subject is important to any of the millions of articles that already exist, they should mention her, and link to this article so readers who are reading about that topic can also hop to this one. If not, maybe that can suggest what your next article should be, eventually.

If you click the "Page information" link you see various matters, mostly of no great importance. Further down in "Page information" you can click the Traffic report. This says the page has received an average of two reads per day. This is very low; it probably means nobody who isn't a Wikipedia editor has seen this page. I have seen it a few times; presumably @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: has seen it more times than I have, and you have seen it the most often. So, this is an article that practically nobody is reading, so far, which raises the question, is it a wasted effort? I figure the answer is to attract more traffic. The main way to do that is, more links to, and especially from, other articles. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:07, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Again, you are a fountain of knowledge and I believe I understand. I've been looking for suitable 'See Also's' to add the link. One place was "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement_in_the_United_Kingdom". Externally, I've also requested Harriet's page be added to the catalog entry for Harriet on Librivox.org: https://librivox.org/author/33?primary_key=33&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results. I'm not sure what the traffic rate on Librivox.org is for Harriet's work since its only the one poem. I'll continue to search for places to add the link and see if any progress is made. If it turns out the Wikipedia monitors don't believe it warrants the maintenance and upkeep, I'll accept their verdict. Tchula65 (talk) 14:58, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
