Mentor for editing of Jex Blackmore article
Hi. You replied to my inquiry at GA Talk, "If you aren't feeling brave enough to nominate this for GA right away (at a very cursory glance there are no major red flags!) I'm happy to take a look at the article and give you some feedback – looks interesting!"

Sounds great, your feedback would be welcome. My rough plan would be to take ~3 months to improve the article, starting after May 22nd. Would that timing work for you and would you be willing to possibly go through more than one iteration of guidance? If so, I'm curious about how we might communicate -- for example, could I create a g-doc version and receive your feedback through the comments function? Or is there a WP policy to not utilize such outside apps? Thanks again, ProfGray (talk) 17:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi – no, there are no rules against using some sort of outside-of-wikipedia system to communicate, and I'm happy to use Google Docs if that's what you prefer. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 14:51, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I emailed you a link to the g-doc. Cheers, ProfGray (talk) 15:16, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi again. I'm sorry for the delay, I've been caught up in other work, incl some Wikipedia articles. I just added a chunk of content to the Jex Blackmore article, based on edits highlighted in the g-doc I shared with you. I still haven't figured out whether to restructure the info or how to improve the lede. But I'd like to submit this for the Women in Green edit-a-thon. WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/6, which you know about. Anyway, if you do have a chance to advise me, that'd be great. I will submit it for GA review soon.

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time
 Hello :

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there! You are receiving this message as a member of the WikiProject Women in Green. You can remove yourself from receiving notifications here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hey Caeciliusinhorto! I'm reaching out to some editors just to make sure we have a 20-minute assessment team in place for the June WiG editathon, and I remembered you had expressed an interest in tackling some assessments going forward. Can I put your name down? There's no minimum requirement for how many requests you respond to -- just jump in whenever you have time/capacity. (Also, thanks for jumping in and answering that talk page question re: assessments!) Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course! I'm watching the event page so I will keep an eye out Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 18:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Fabulous! Thank you. :-) If you like, you can also watchlist the full 20-minute assessments page, just to make new requests easier to spot. Alanna the Brave (talk) 19:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Michael D. Aeschliman
Dear Caeciliusinhorto,

On April 28 you helpfully intervened to restore the above-mentioned article, following a spate of vandalism. It seems that Aeschliman's philosophical/literary writings and their ideological orientation have earned him at least one enemy who is bent on eviscerating the article devoted to him, and caricaturing him as an "innkeeper and B&B owner" (with no valid citation to back up this denigrating label). The article has once again been under wholesale attack as from May 11.

Careful, responsible or even slightly pedantic editing is one thing, but the article on Aeschliman is evidently being subjected to gratuitous and malicious attacks. Given your expertise, know-how and authority as a senior Wikipedia editor, could you once again restore it? I see that today the article was rehabilitated by another contributor, but promptly demolished again by a certain Russ Woodroofe, who may be conceivably be operating in good faith, but clearly lacks the knowledge of the subject to understand what is going on here.

Many thanks. Tamara Santerra (talk) 12:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Noting that was blocked by  as a sockpuppet, per Sockpuppet investigations/A. Roderick-Grove. It sounds like what is going on here is block evasion. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:07, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * TS was indeed blocked as a sock, but I'm unaware of any block evasion.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:17, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Given the nature of this notification, I don't propose to make any further edits to Michael D. Aeschliman but I have made a comment on the talkpage. I will leave it up to editors who haven't been asked by sockpuppets to intervene to make a decision on what should be done. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 15:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
