Women in Science Edit-a-thon
Hi. I am organizing an edit-a-thon on women in science at the University of Oklahoma on March 27th. I've noticed that you have already been active on several pages of interest, and wondered if you would have any advice for us in terms of women whose sites need improvement and resources on them. I am a lecturer in the History of Science Department, so I am interested in improving the entries on more historical figures, but for the event we are also trying to include recent and current women. I would appreciate any advice you might have and would be happy to have you as an online participant. Thanks, Kirwanfan (talk) 14:59, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Invite the president!
Kimberly Wright Cassidy is the new president of Bryn Mawr College. I have started a Draft Kimberly Wright Cassidy article. I suggest that someone should invite her to visit our event next week. This will give us an opportunity to get a photo unhampered by copyright restrictions, and we can get input from her on the article about her. I have made changes and improvements on all the previous Bryn Mawr presidents articles, especially the talk pages. What do you think of this invitation?--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:12, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Adding page numbers to citations
Thank you for your extensive improvements to the article Arnold Orville Beckman. You make very extensive use of the book Arnold O. Beckman : one hundred years of excellence in your citations, which is not a problem. I also noticed in the hidden Wikisource that you foresightedly took the trouble to preserve the cited page numbers, which would greatly improve the usefulness of the cites. I would like to point out a technique used in Wikipedia to expose the page numbers, without triggering an absurdly large number of nearly-identical full citations. The abbreviated format is described at Template:Rp, which was designed specifically to handle this problem.
The hidden page refs could be converted to useful but non-distracting superscripted page numbers by using this template, and the conversion editing process would be relatively straightforward. I hope this information is helpful, and look forward to seeing your further work. Cheers! Reify-tech (talk) 16:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the great suggestion. I hadn't seen a way to add page numbers to a multiply-cited reference that didn't seem ugly, so I'm glad to find that there's a better way to do it. The conversion was pleasantly easy. Have a great day! Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 18:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
- The article looks still better every time I see it. Also, you've been finding some great images that really show beautifully the abstract-sounding technical artifacts under discussion. If you find more useful images than can fit vertically alongside the text, you can set up a Template:Gallery. If needed, I can lend help with that. Keep up the good work!

It offers specific sections for teachers, reusers, and researchers.[1]
- Broughton, John (2008). Wikipedia – The Missing Manual. O'Reilly Media. ISBN 9780596521745. is a how-to guide that explains the process of contributing to Wikipedia.[2]

I am looking
for a good source to document that Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's Fountain of El Dorado ended up in Lima, Peru ? The best I can do is talk about its "deteriorating condition" while still in California. It is an interesting work, I have several good descriptions of it from that time (1915ish) so might do a short stub on it. But I wish to settle the Peru Connection (sounds like the New Jason Bourne book) before trying it. So any ideas are welcome, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:06, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
- I'll keep an eye out for anything I can find as I go through the page, check information, and add citations. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 17:31, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
- I did just find this in the Archives of American Art, "Three Figure Fountain (Replica of Whitney Fountain, Lima, Peru), 1922-1924" which is good enough for me to figure whoever the reference is by got his or her Whitney fountains mixed up. I'm going to cut & paste it to the talk page. Carptrash (talk) 18:35, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
