Paraphrasing instead of copy
editHey Lora, great work on the article Joseph and Michael Hofer. One thing to be wary of: currently, your work on the article includes a copy of the abstract for the article. Remember, its important to summarize the works, but we cannot, without the permission of the original author and publication, simply copy and paste the text (its a form of Copyright violation and constitutes plagiarism). Instead its important to summarize the content in your own words. It would be great if you could rewrite that paragraph to be more a summary of the best information from the case, rather than the abstract itself, Sadads (talk) 16:38, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
Pleased to meet you
editHi Lora! I see Sadads already welcomed you above, but I just wanted to chime in to say how nice it was to meet you on Saturday. I'm thrilled to see how quickly you've taken to editing. I hope you continue to contribute to Wikipedia. If you get stuck or have any questions, you're welcome to leave me a message on my talk page (click the "New section" tab at the top of that page). Happy editing! – voidxor (talk | contrib) 06:16, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Our recent discussion
editabout the Liberty Memorial and your thoughts on the Egyptian aspects of it has me looking at it again, which in turn turned into an interesting meander down memory lane. Looking at its SIRIS entry ([1]) reminded me of my back-and-forth with them about it and I noticed that I am listed as one of the 'References" to their entry and that all the pictures that they post are mine. (This is shameless bragging, I suppose, but I need to when I can because so few folks actually care) In any case, I am going to revisit the "classical Egyptian Revival " aspect to it, because it is, to me, quite clearly not that. However I do promise to run any language that I intend to use past you before actual inserting it in the article. Carptrash (talk) 18:29, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Art+Feminism in the Kansas City Area
editI want to invite you to two upcoming Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism meetups in the Kansas City Area, as part of Women's History Month. The first event will be on March 7 in Lawrence from 10:00am to 5PM and the second on March 28, 2015 from 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the Kansas City Public Library. Join us either digitally or physically for these events! Of course, like other Wikipedia events, editors are more than welcome to edit about topics of their own interest, but our hope is to help close the gender gap on Wikipedia! Join us for both these welcoming events! Sadads (talk) 01:30, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
