Just a small note

Many new biographies have missing country/state/city identification in the talk page project tags - just a small note has been partially fixed... More bios please! - good work! JarrahTree 07:41, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Nurse Mary Kirkpatrick moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Nurse Mary Kirkpatrick, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

Women in Red

Hi there, I'm the one who just declined the article above (sorry about that). Are you aware of the Women in Red wikiproject? That is another good place to ask for help with biographical articles on women. Experienced editors there are always happy to help less experienced editors adapt to Wikipedia's various formatting, referencing, and notability guidelines. -- asilvering (talk) 19:56, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi,

I am an historian and have written and had published many books. I find Wikipedia extremely awkward as there seems no real academic reason for the decisions made but mostly based on a complicated method of determining provenance etc. i am highly experienced re referencing indeed have written a book about that same topic, but referencing for printed books certainly seem very different to Wikipedia. I am aware that you seem to prefer a website instead of say an informal reference such as a letter or an email or such which are quite common in writing publications especially re women who are the hardest of all to find information on. I also know about RED but am quite happy to muddle on my own. I attended one workshop re Wikipedia and found it to be useless as it seemed to focus on writing which is not my problem. My problem is working out your convoluted, long and extremely confusing rules!!!

Cheers

Yes, that's why I suggested going to Women in Red - people there are very familiar with the extremely confusing rules, and very happy to help! We're especially keen to bring down this particular barrier to editing. The more historians who are working on this project, the better. I suggest the citation gadgets because they've been developed to take most of the work out for you - basically, you can drop an ISBN or URL in there and not only will it format it correctly, it will add various working URLs to Worldcat, Google Books, and so on. I believe they're based on Zotero.

The principle behind "no informal references" is WP:V, verifiability, and WP:OR, on no "original research". The idea is that Wikipedia will say what published, secondary sources say. Archival material, interviews, and so on, are what historians writing those secondary sources use, but we want the references on Wikipedia to be something that anyone reading Wikipedia could theoretically follow up on. No one can follow up on an email to Noeline Kyle to make sure that Wikipedia was reporting its content correctly - unless, of course, you write it up in something that is published. Then, they can. -- asilvering (talk) 16:22, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Hollywood Private Hospital Kempsey.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Hollywood Private Hospital Kempsey.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:30, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Question regarding File:Hollywood Private Hospital Kempsey.jpg

Hi! I'm looking at the file now, and I see that it got tagged by a bot for lacking licensing information. This is because the licensing/public domain information for the file is not machine-readable. I'd be more than happy to convert the information you've provided into something machine-readable for you. To do so, I just need one more piece of information: do you have the approximate date that the photograph was taken? If you don't have the exact date, are you able to let me know if the photograph was taken before 1 January 1955?

Happy editing!

Hi,

The photo of Hollywood Private Hospital was taken between 1913 (when Nurse Kirkpatrick first rented it for her new hospital) to 1916 when she left to open another hospital elsewhere. I would guess it was around c.1913-14 as the front has no actual street but is just a stretch of grassed earth. The nurses in the front yard indicates it was still being used as a hospital. The actual house was built in the same year as Nurse Kirkpatrick opened her private hospital there. (a ref for it at: Patricia Riggs A Portrait of Kempsey, Robert Brown & Associates, Bathurst, 1988, p.8 ISBN 0949267376

Thanks for agreeing to fix this for me. I must admit the idea of having a bot tell me to somehow fix it made me think I would just delete it and leave it at that. If you can do something that would be great.

The image is from a collection from the Macleay River Historical Society (Kempsey Museum) and they give me permission to use it also. After the photographer Angus McNeil died somebody took all of his precious glass negatives and was taking them to the local tip. Another good citizen rescued them and took them to the Kempsey Museum and over the years volunteers have scanned the glass negatives and they are now available at the museum to search and purchase for. researchers

Noeline NoelineKyle (talk) 00:09, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you getting back so quickly! I've made a fix on the file page; the file should no longer get deleted by the bot. I do admit that the image upload process is a bit byzantine and in need of modernization, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions going forward, feel free to leave me a message on my user talk page—I'm more than happy to help :)

— Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 00:40, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for that. I am at an age, I am 82, where although I am computer literate (I worked as an academic) I am totally unable to deal with the pages and pages of notes and rules when I go to a help page!! It is partly that as I age I am losing my tolerance for such things and also partly perhaps a symptom of someone who thinks they know a lot having to deal with things they know very little.

I shall be in touch when I falter again. I am putting up NSW nurses and midwives who took leadership roles and were extraordinary for their times, for colleagues of mine who are volunteers at the College of Nursing Archives in Sydney. So it is my job as for my sins I am seen as more computer literate than they are....ha ha

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Georgina McCready, from its old location at User:NoelineKyle/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 05:34, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello.

I have no idea what you mean, and I can't find my article anywhere in a space called...Articles for Creation???? So you have moved my draft but where to< and why?// Was it wrong? Was it not suitable? I can't find the placed titled Draft Namespace as it simply doesn't tell me anything??/

Cheers Noeline, sorry to be so obtuse, but I am am bamboozled every time I press publish?? NoelineKyle (talk) 06:30, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Georgina McCready

McCready is obviously notable, so I linked the ADB entry and resubmitted and accepted the draft for you. I'm not at all sure what the previous reviewer meant by sparse referencing, as there is lots here, but for future articles, here are some suggestions:

1. avoid archival sources as much as possible, and use them only for basic facts; if you do use one, it's best if the item is digitized. The idea is that readers need to be able to verify them, which is quite difficult for most people if the source is an unpublished item in a box somewhere in Australia.
2. separate your sources rather than combining them in a footnote. This might be what DoubleGrazing meant by "sparse". If a paragraph all comes from one source, it's fine to just stick one footnote on the end of the paragraph. But when you're using multiple sources, it's very helpful if you can be more specific about what comes from where. This makes it much easier for other editors to come in and add or edit the biography without doing damage to the attributions.
3. for the same reason, please avoid "op cit" and so on. If someone comes by later and rearranges the article these can be difficult to disentangle.
4. please give specific page numbers for the parts of the books you're using, especially if they're print-only.

By the way, if you're using Visual Editor (the WYSIWYG one, not the source code editor), there should be a "cite" button at the top (or you can press ctrl+shift+k). This can automatically generate references for you if you have the ISBN, doi, or URL. That's how I reformatted the ADB citation for you. imo this makes it much easier to add links and so forth, which makes AfC reviewers happy. -- asilvering (talk) 17:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Oh hah, I see I've already mentioned the citation gadgets regarding another one of your drafts. Sorry! You are of course welcome to use them as much or as little as you like. But AfC reviewers will be much reassured by URLs, when they're available. :) -- asilvering (talk) 17:51, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
