Women in Red

edit

Hi there, PlantPoet, and welcome to Women in Red. It's always good to have members from WP Edu. I see you have already created a biography of Pamela Gunter-Smith and hope there will be many more. If you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to look through some of our essays, perhaps starting with the Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 13:02, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

edit
  Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

Great work on Lillian V. Holdeman Moore

edit

Dear PlantPoet,

I ran into the article Lillian V. Holdeman Moore from your Teahouse post. It's a great start for someone who is quite new to Wikipedia, and I thank you for your efforts! You should be proud of yourself for such a good start.

If you don't mind some more advice, you may wish to add in-line citations to sentences such as She was married to fellow microbiologist and colleague "Ed" W.E.C. Moore and Later, Holdeman studied bacteria that cause periodontal disease and other oral bacteria.

Again, great work and happy editing! -- TheLonelyPather (talk) 21:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

DYK nomination of Lillian V. Holdeman Moore

edit

  Hello! Your submission of Lillian V. Holdeman Moore at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! C messier (talk) 16:12, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

PlantPoet, it's wonderful that you nominated this article at DYK, however it is important that you respond soon if you wish this nomination to be successful. In five more days, it will be a month since the above request was posted, and the nomination could be closed as abandoned if you don't post there by then. Please stop by as soon as you see this. Thank you very much, and best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:51, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
I apologize! The first weeks of the semester threw me some curve balls. The relvant page in the book is 51 but I don't know how to add it to the citation. PlantPoet (talk) 17:35, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
HI! I apologize, the first month of the semester knocked me down hard. I have made the requested edits--the page number in the book for reference #3 and corrected the bacterial numbers as suggested.
What next? (Again, thank you from this newbie!)
PlantPoet (talk) 17:45, 18 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
PlantPoet, there have been additional "citation needed" tags added to the article since you made your greatly appreciated updates. Please add the new citations as soon as possible, so the DYK nomination can proceed; ping me when you're done. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
I added them! thank you for your patience! the semester got busier than I could handle. PlantPoet (talk) 18:52, 12 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
PlantPoet, sorry things have been so busy. However, the reviewer says there are three more citations left to do; when I look, I see one at the end of each of the paragraphs up top, and one at the end of the first paragraph in the Career section, and they're all needed. I hope you can take care of these remaining ones soon. Thank you! BlueMoonset (talk) 22:32, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! I'm learning so much from this group of very patient editors! I have included the citations. But there are two seeming errors that say "cite book" and "cite journal" ...I'm looking at the help pages trying to resolve that problem. The one citation is from Bergy's Manual of Bacteria which is a huge reference book--that everyone uses online these days. Not sure how to fix that citation. (I'm asking the wiki-editor whose workshop I took for assistance.) PlantPoet (talk) 13:26, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Lillian V. Holdeman Moore

edit

On 7 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lillian V. Holdeman Moore, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Lillian V. Holdeman Moore identified a spike in hydrogen-gas-producing bacteria in Skylab astronauts? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lillian V. Holdeman Moore. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lillian V. Holdeman Moore), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
