Tip of the day...

Do you need administrator assistance?

Have you run across a problem that requires the attention of an Administrator?

The fastest way to catch the attention of administrators in general is to post an alert to the Administrators' noticeboard (A.N.). Administrators go there all the time to see what is up with Wikipedia; one of them will see your message and will take immediate appropriate action. Experienced editors hang out there too and sometimes will answer a question before an Admin gets to it.

Another option is to paste a {{admin help}} template (with the four curly braces) along with your question on to your Talk page and an Admin will stop by shortly.

A page you started (Anna Brown (designer)) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Anna Brown (designer).

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.

Thanks for your contribution! We generally discourage having external links in the body text of an article. If you could go through and replace those with wikilinks (moving the external links to the "External Links" section if appropriate), that would be super! For more, see our guideline on external links Wikipedia:External links. Happy editing!

To reply, leave a comment here and ping me.

Stub tags

Hallo Jo, it looks as if when you created Holly McQuillan you "substituted" the {{stub}}. Please don't do so, it should be left as it is. And please remember that all stub tags go at the end of the article, not the top - see WP:ORDER. Thanks. (You also forget to add a "References" section heading and the {{reflist}}). There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey! Happy Editing. PamD 11:06, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Hallo Jo, did you read this? I've just stub-sorted Catherine Slessor, and you'd done the same thing. Please don't substitute stub tags, and please put them in the right place, at the bottom of the article. Thanks. PamD 11:01, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

Welcome. It can take time to find you sea legs among amid arcane rules and standards. Hang in there. And don't hesitate to ask questions of more experienced editors. E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:49, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Explanation and encouragement

Since it may seem like I 'have it in' for you, having after all nominated several of your articles for possible deletion, let me explain myself a bit in the spirit of WP:AGF. Wikipedia has a big problem with spam, much of it comes from undisclosed WP:PAID-for editors, and their common creation is WP:VANITY-type of entries that otherwise fail WP:NBIO. I DO NOT believe you are one of them; based on your pattern of contributions I am reasonably sure you are just trying to improve WP:SYSTEMICBIAS in an area of your interest (modern-day female New Zealanders). However, Wikipedia does not have a 'preference policy' for biographies from under-represented groups. Which means that while applaud you for taking an effort to improve our coverage in such a field, your articles are subject to the same scrutiny as others. And if I (or anyone else - we are all volunteers here) feel that they fail to meet our requirements, they will be subject to such deletions.

I do realize it can be stressful or even infuriating to have your volunteer work criticized and deleted. I've been there, I've seen this from the other end (as in, I have had several of my articles deleted too). Please do not take it personally. Your articles are interesting and valuable, and your desire to contribute to Wikipedia in your spare time is commendable. But do recall a proverb about good intentions.

You can always ask for your articles to be undeleted and drafitied so you can improve them in the months or years to come. But as I believe I have asked you before, please carefully review WP:NBIO and related policies. It is not like I enjoy nominating good faithed efforts for creation. If I may suggest, take a look at WP:Women in Red or such. They have lists of 100%-notable women who still are not on Wikipedia, lists often based on other encyclopedias and similar reference works. If you chose to write about them, your work will be almost certain to remain here. But writing about people who are still alive and in fact who are just starting their career is difficult, and bottom line is, most of such individuals are not important (notable) to be in encyclopedia - yet.

I hope this helps. Sincerely, --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
