James Harithas

I am questioning the added paragraph on James Harithas Wikipedia page on his 2nd wife Ann Harithas. The details on her life and death and who she is survived by should be on her own page. Since there are no details on his first wife it seems quite inappropriate. The inclusion of his 2nd wife on the founding of the 3 museums is fine and part of his Legacy but all the rest in my opinion is not. James Harithas is survived by 3 daughters and 2 grandsons. Also- he was Greek American. Jeannieh9 (talk) 02:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Myself and other editors are hoping to create a separate page for Ann. It may take some time. Wikis are a process. Someone else may get to it before I do. Greek American is not a designation used in Wikipedia article intros. (Wikipedia Manual of Style: Ethnicity) See Telly Savalas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telly_Savalas or Elia Kazan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elia_Kazan Feralpearl (talk) 21:44, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

ok, how about of Greek decent?

Too much included on Ann H on his page. Jeannieh9 (talk) 00:45, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

The article has undergone extensive review by two editors who saw no problems with the wiki's structure. The second paragraph notes that both his parents were Greek. I'm quite busy at work right now and don't know when I might get to a separate page for Ann. Anyone can contribute to Wikipedia. You could make one for her. Feralpearl (talk) 00:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

ok, no problem. And as far as a page for Ann I'm actually not interested in this. I wanted less on her and her family on James's page. That's all. Please don't misunderstand, I appreciate work that was done on James Harithas. Take Care. Jeannieh9 (talk) 01:43, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

James Harithas is survived by 3 daughters and 2 grandsons.

I posted this same message on our thread with Wil540 art, so if you've seen it already, I apologize for doubling up.

Thanks for your patience. Ann now has a separate page so much of the material that was on your dad’s page has been moved.

If you read your father’s article, you will see near the end of the first section “Early life and education” the sentence, “In 1958, he married Christiana Baka, with whom he had three daughters.”

Although I’ve written 80 Wikipedia entries, I’ve only just learned that “survived by” items are not permitted. From the Wikipedia Manual of Style: Biography: “’Survived by’ and "survivors,’ phrasings commonly found in obituaries, should not be used.”

I hope this resolves the concerns you had. BTW, I looked into Reese Palley Gallery and found your father was director there in 1970-71. However, so far, the only source I have is a blog and blogs are not admissible for citations. I’ll try to remember to get back to it and see if I can find a proper source.Feralpearl (talk) 12:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Houston Breakthrough moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Houston Breakthrough, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:43, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

OK. I haven't had time to get back to the article since your initial review. Feralpearl (talk) 20:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

I did use https://cemetery.tspb.texas as a source. Would it be ok for me to clean up those passages instead of starting the article from scratch? Thanks Feralpearl (talk) 19:51, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

What people typically do is copy the current version of the article into the special temporary page (using the link provided) and then do their amendments to the sections that need work. You might find it helpful to compare your new version to the source document using Earwig's tool. If you let me know when the new version is ready, I will check it. — Diannaa (talk) 20:21, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Earwig! I've used it before but could not remember the name. I've already rewritten the questionable text. I'll move everything to the temporary page. Feralpearl (talk) 21:10, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for all the help. I think we're good. Let me know.
