Conflict of interest
Hi there. I noticed on your user page that you declared a conflict of interest, stating "I work at the University of Northern Iowa. Using the resources available through my employer, I will add citations or links. However, I will adhere to the Wikipedia's best practices by avoiding conflict of interest, striving for neutrality, and only adding notable content. Please let me know through my talk page if I am not adhering to these pillars and tenets". I also noticed you added this edit about a non-notable museum at the university, sourced by this University of Northern Iowa webpage. Could you explain how this is "striving for neutrality"? Why didn't you find a neutral source? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:38, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I certainly did not intend to edit with a COI, but I can see how it appears I did. It was not done with malice or ill-intent. I appreciate other Wikipedians improving content I add. I take some issue with the way you throw around the term "non-notable." Reliable, neutral sources that are not yet cited on Wikipedia may exist that demonstrate notability. (And I should have added them.) Something may seem non-notable on the surface, but may in fact be quite noteworthy with some digging/research. Something that is noteable or not notable at one time and in one place may have a very different reception at another. Value changes. I will try to do better in the future, and I hope you will assume good faith and when engaging with other Wikipedians. --ActionableIdeas (talk) 17:25, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Looking forward to your editathon!
Hi Angela! I'm Kevin, and I'm a Wikipedian from the Des Moines metro. I also happen to be the head of Wikimedians of Iowa User Group. I'm so glad to see that you're hosting an editathon in Cedar Falls on the 24th! I will try to be there, and if I can't make it, I wish you the best of luck hosting! Let me know if I can be of any assistance! Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 17:57, 3 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Kevin! It would be wonderful to have you. The event is growing bigger than we expected; the more the merrier. If you are able to attend, we could certainly use your experience and expertise. You can also participate remotely. Here's our Outreach Dashboard: . Feel free to contact me through my UNI email. --ActionableIdeas (talk) 20:25, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm unfortunately going to be unable to make it because of the snow, but I wish you all the best – let me know how it goes! Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 15:35, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries! The weather was rough. All told, I think we had about 60 participants, if you include folks who partook of a practice run was had a few days early. We had 46 people in the room editing, and 8 connected with us through Zoom. All in all, very successful! We'll do it again, I'm sure. --ActionableIdeas (talk) 20:26, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

VisibleWikiWomen


Hi!

We invite you to join the VisibleWikiWoman challenge to make notable women more visible on Wikipedia. We know that during your edit-a-thon several articles will be created or improved. We encourage you to also look for photos or illustrations for these biographies, and upload them to Wikimedia Commons in the VisibleWikiWomen category or through our upload wizard.

Here are some resources that can help, to learn what kind of images can be uploaded to Commons and how to do it.

If you have questions or need help, do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a successful day of editing!--Señoritaleona (talk) 21:51, 23 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'd love to join! We'll be on the look out for public domain images of the women we are adding to Wikipedia and add them to Wikimedia Commons and the appropriate articles. My students have already completed the WikiEdu tutorial on images and how to add them. --ActionableIdeas (talk) 22:01, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Jonas Balan
Please take a look at the articles Jonas Balan that has been created by students who participate in a course you're teaching (https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/University_of_Northern_Iowa/Creating_Wikipedia_for_the_Arts_(Spring_2018))? I've just removed a proposed deletion tag. The article is in a very poor state and I am tempted to move it to draft space to prevent deletion, but I also don't want to complicate things for your students. Mduvekot (talk) 23:04, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * And also, if you could, Kristin Congdon and the nomination for deletion. Thanks, Mduvekot (talk) 16:27, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. We're going to take a look at some of the articles in need of reliable sources and try to improve them tomorrow. Researching Haitian artists is notoriously difficult, but we're going to see what we can do to make it clear these folks are notable. --ActionableIdeas (talk) 20:28, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Suggestions for improving Mary Josephine Walters
Hi. I worked a bit on your article Mary Josephine Walters adding categories, fixing references and adding box. I suggest you to shorten external links part. Some of them should go inside the text as references. External links are only for 1-2 most important external links. Good luck with your edits! -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:59, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll work with the student who added to this article after I got it started. Hopefully we can get it cleaned up soon.--ActionableIdeas (talk) 20:29, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Survey about History on Wikipedia (If you are resident in the United States)
I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. You must be 18 years of age or older, reside in the United States to participate in this study. If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.
