User:9H48F/Journal

June 2019

 * I'm starting a journal about my WP work. I find that I get into little phases of topics or types of work which I find utterly fascinating, and want to document how I got there and other such details. Currently working through the list Category:American graphic designers and tagging for WikiProjects, organizing, editing/adding content, nominating for deletion (although I got into a little trouble with AfDs recently with another editor who accused me of being disruptive and am trying to slow down and do all the work). I started this project after assessing all the unassessed articles in the graphic design wikiproject. I am currently on G-names in that list and making a list in my sandbox of articles to create/edit for the future. 9H48F (talk) 20:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * First proposed deletion for a non-notable artist. Fingers crossed it goes well. 9H48F (talk) 14:43, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Nope. Not sure if I want to nom for an AfD.9H48F (talk) 21:47, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Reverted a large WP:Copypaste and WP:COI edit for the James Beard Foundation. Agreed to update article. 9H48F (talk) 17:03, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Getting kind of bored of reviewing and editing graphic designers (I'm on the Ms) 9H48F (talk) 16:04, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Trying to blast my way through the rest of the designers, and stumbled upon Barbara Stauffacher Solomon, the creator of supergraphics. I like that she became a designer so she could support herself and her kid after her husband died so she studied at Basel (go big, or go home)! She also has a realistic attitude about design saying when she was young she thought design could save the world, but now that she's old it's a love-hate relationship because the public buys into the smoke and mirrors of design. 9H48F (talk) 21:47, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I finished Category:American graphic designers!!!! On to some new work 9H48F (talk) 14:50, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

July 2019

 * Working my way through the List of New York City Housing Authority properties to update information on created articles within the list. 9H48F (talk) 17:13, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Received autopatrolled permissions recently so no longer do I have to submit my articles -- pretty cool.
 * Currently asking the teahouse what to do about the reverts on the Paul Kuhr article that keeps getting reverted without explanations. I don't mind that someone disagrees with my edits, but don't understand why they don't agree and suspect the editor has a conflict of interest. 9H48F (talk) 14:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)


 * The teahouse agreed with me, edits were properly made and the issue appears to be resolved. Need to finish up the NYCHA Manhattan properties, then I think I'll move onto something else for a bit (NYCHA properties are fairly one-note in terms of how they were developed and their histories). Just discovered there is a class assignment on the doula article I did a ton of work on, so will keep tabs on that. 9H48F (talk) 14:52, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

August 2019

 * Feeling a little uninspired and other things are calling my attention so I'm taking a little break from this work. I may attend the MetFashion Wikipedia Edit-a-thon NYC on Sept 7. 9H48F (talk) 19:35, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

October 2019

 * Starting to make my way through the Brooklyn NYCHA properties. Discovered a C-class article was created for the Farragut Houses (!!) 9H48F (talk) 15:17, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Finished Brooklyn NYCHA properties, there's a lot less developed articles for the properties. Added Kingsborough Houses and the Pink Houses 9H48F (talk) 19:05, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Finished Bronx, Staten Island, Queens NYCHA properties. Not sure where to go next. 9H48F (talk) 21:23, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

November 2019

 * Floating around making edits. Made an article for the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum which I found pretty fascinating. Currently adding infoboxes to NYCHA properties and tagging for image request 9H48F (talk) 17:34, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Added infoboxes to all the created NYCHA developments. Working my way through garden writers and made a pretty to-do list in my sandbox. 9H48F (talk) 18:08, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Ran through the American garden writers category. Some of the people have spotty notability (I feel) but the category is much much more interesting than NYCHA properties. Enjoyed working on Ossian Cole Simonds, whose article could be expanded even further. I only scratched the surface of some of the sources I used and there are more books available about him, but not necessarily online in their entirety. I would also like to read the The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh now that I've worked on her article. 9H48F (talk) 21:33, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

January 2020

 * Feeling like a preggo and my heads not into research at the moment. Doing some updates here and there, but not large article updates like before since I'd prefer to be sleeping. 9H48F (talk) 21:22, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

February 2020

 * The kid has a toddler project at school (re: parents have homework) to create a poster about an influential African-American inventor or leader. I ignored the last one since I have a huge eyeroll about toddlers having homework, but was able to find an AA inventor who concentrated mostly on inventions for trains and street cars, Granville T. Woods. So I'm working on updating his article and then will have E help him with the poster tomorrow. 9H48F (talk) 19:40, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Read an article on Buttigieg’s spokesperson, Lis Smith. Wrote an article about her since her work on campaigns and the IDC were quite interesting and says a lot about the campaign. Learned also I had to request a move from draftspace to mainspace when a redirect is in place. 9H48F (talk) 16:50, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Had a baby and been pretty MIA from Wikipedia editing. Using my extra time WFH to spend with family rather than editing but making small edits here and there. Few things I want to do:
 * Found Meetup/US housing/December 2020 and want to expand Housing in the United States
 * Add controversy/how AIGA wants to include more diversity
 * Expand Miracle-Gro and Scotts Miracle-Gro Company
