Hi
Hi. Here is a humdinger of an argument about what notability means. Mccapra (talk) 05:00, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Also can I point you to this brilliant tool here which I found after many months of laboriously filling the cite book template by hand. If you dump a google book link in at the top, it automatically generates a citation in wiki text. You usually need to refresh your browser to get it to work. Mccapra (talk) 05:25, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey - I'm really sorry, it took me ages to see this, and then I apparently only responded to you in my head. Many thanks for the useful links. All help gratefully received! -- BessieMaelstrom (talk) 11:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, BessieMaelstrom, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have someone with professional experience, keen to improve coverage of women in the theatre and the arts. I see you have not yet created any articles of your own but if you are inspired to do so, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:54, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey Ipigott - thanks so much for the kind welcome. I have yet to create, but am about to inflate a badly written one. First I need to know how best to declare and handle COI, because my theatre world is a very small one. I have asked for guidance on the COI page and would welcome your advice too. In the world of contemporary theatre in my countries, and especially in more specific areas like spoken word poetry, musical theatre, and interactive theatre, I am likely to at least have friends of friends who connect me to the subject, or have encountered people at industry gatherings. I'm not sure how best to declare that kind of COI, or where, and when I should choose to make something be an AfC - particularly if I'm inflating a stub. -- BessieMaelstrom (talk) 11:04, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your quick response. As you become more experienced, there might be opportunities for you to write about people or organizations you know but I strongly suggest you start by covering those with whom you have no close contacts. Declaring COI interests draws strong attention and can often lead to major difficulties with new articles. Instead, I suggest you begin by covering some of the many notable women connected to the theatre who are included in relevant listings from our Redlist index. If you are fluent in Danish, you can perhaps also look at our redlist on Women from Denmark. Please let me know if you need further help.--Ipigott (talk) 11:25, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Gotchya. I'll have a browse around and get going elsewhere. I might move far away from things I'm familiar with, to start off with. Maybe that's an easier way to get fluent in neutrality. Thanks again for the help - I really appreciate it. -- BessieMaelstrom (talk) 12:14, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi there. Any chance you’d be willing to offer feedback on a article?
Hi there. I'm trying to get an article about a four time tony nominee through AfC. While I have a WP:COI, I feel its important to add biographies for prominent designers of color; especially given how overwhelming white and male lighting design is. If you have a moment, would you mind taking a look? Also, while it is very bare bones at the moment, I've started working on an article about the League of Professional Theatre Women; given your membership in Women in Red, I thought you might be interested.

Feedback Request
Hi there! I have recently made a request for an assessment of the article Puppetry of the Penis on WikiProject Theatre. I have been editing this article for over a month, adding almost 3000 words, new sections, an infobox, media and more references for verifiability. I noticed you were a very active (and helpful) editor of WikiProject Theatre, and was wondering if you had the time if you could have a look at the article and provide me any feedback. Any general feedback would be much appreciated and possibly an assessment of the article for importance and quality. Thank you very much. Rubyredgirl (talk) 10:37, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Requesting some article expansion help
Greetings @ BessieMaelstrom,

Hi, I am User:Bookku, I find information and knowledge gaps, try to recruit article expanding editors and promote drafts articles for further expansion.

Requesting your visit to following drafts / articles and help expand the same if any of these interests you.


 * Encyclopedia


 * Logical fallacies


 * Draft:Irrational beliefs

I came to your user page after reading one of your recent posts @ WT:WIR. I do not have any quick fix magic solution to offer against confirmation biases and vested interests; IMHO, behavioral change in any community is long drawn process. IMO we can make community indirectly revisit their core values by working on information and knowledge gaps in related spheres.

Thanks and warm regards
