Heads up
Just to note: I'm afraid I've just done a restoration of that magnificent Sarah Vaughan photo you have in your to-do list. Saw it in there when I was going to replace the old, low-resolution copy.

On the 13th January you wrote " I still believe that it is far too complex to have been created with the powerpoint polygon tool. Please comment at the deletion discussion if you have anything further to add!" I am a very sophisticated powerpoint map drawer. I have in fact created a whole Historical Atlas using powerpoint. I can email you a sample if you are interested which can show you it is possible to create maps of sophistication using powerpoinbt as I have described.

Proposed deletion of B.C. Rich Mockingbird


The article B.C. Rich Mockingbird has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * A poorly written, poorly sourced article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for October 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Salvadoran literature, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Francisco Díaz (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

List of Salvadoran writers
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of List of Salvadoran writers, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.servinghistory.com/topics/Literature_of_El_Salvador::sub::List_Of_Salvadoran_Writers.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted.

Strange...
I came across your draft article User:Calliopejen1/Jardinería del Barroco due to the article Jardinería del Barroco of Canaan in main space. Although the article is in your user space, it seems that Canaan was the only one using it (except the last edit from another user). Do you even know it was there?

Wikimedia LGBT
Hi Jen, I hope have been well since we met at GLAM Boot Camp in DC! I just wanted to bring Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group and thematic organization that promotes the development of content on Wikimedia projects which is of interest to LGBT communities, to your attention. I am sure you are so busy with your current projects, but I hope you might be able to direct people to this group if they are interested in LGBT content in any way. Of course, you are also more than welcome to indicate your interest/support, if you wish. Hopefully we can get some LGBT-related GLAM/Education/etc. projects up and running in the near future.

Por mi parte es claro que: 1. La licencia no tiene validez, 2. La página desconoce el uso que se le dio a la autorización y en su página web explícitamente prohíbe copiar contenidos y por último, los artículos tendrán que ser rescritos o borrados.

File:Jeep Swenson 1996.jpg
Hi, Jen. I don't see an obvious reason for removal of the license tag in. Please could you let me know? Thanks. – Wdchk (talk) 02:00, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Something else I'm not getting: The file has an Ffd tag, so I looked into that and found a. The file was deleted following that discussion, and I see you restored it recently ( [ logs] ). Pardon my questioning, but wouldn't I expect to see a reason for the restoral documented somewhere, to offset the deletion discussion? Thanks. – Wdchk (talk) 02:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant to remove the FFD tag, not the license tag. And re the restoration, the rationale for the nomination was that it was out of scope -- clearly the nominator hadn't investigated what was pictured in the image.  (It looks like a bunch of junk self-photos that get uploaded.) Since the deletion rationale was obviously invalid, I just restored the image.  Calliopejen1 (talk) 02:49, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Ángela Auad
Back in March 2012, you made some edits to Ángela Auad including adding her date of birth as 29 February 1945 which is not a leap year. I note the Spanish version also has the same date. I mention it because you probably have the best chance of finding a correct date. Regards Periglio (talk) 18:43, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I was just translating from Spanish... It looks like the 2/29 date has been in the Spanish version since the first revision.  And I didn't see any correct date in the sources linked.  To be honest rather than tracking it down I think it would be better to nominate the article for deletion. There are a number of sources in the Spanish article but they're primary documents, or mention Auad in passing, etc. I don't think she's notable. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:53, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

DYK on Dorit Cypis
Hi, Jen. I've been going through the results of the MOCA event and letting folks know about DYK. Did you plan on nominating Dorit Cypis? I'd be happy to rack up another submission unless you wanted the honor. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 07:55, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I find DYK to be a hassle and never nominate things anymore. If you'd like to nominate it, go for it! Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:27, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok. I understand you want to be helpful but you needn't sabotage my nomination. Furthermore, you wrote the article. Why include that quote if you didn't think it was correct? You might be right but the hook accurately reflects what the cited source says.  I do not intend to write another hook because you believe Dorit misspoke.  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 05:07, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * How is my comment "sabotage"? I was trying to be constructive. I included that quote in the article because it's interesting and readers can understand what she she's getting at, but if you're picking one thing to put on the front page I don't think it should be that quote. Calliopejen1 (talk) 06:49, 14 March 2014 (UTC) Oh and also I don't think she misspoke, I think it's more likely that she was misquoted. I would guess it's just a typo.

RE: Wiki Project Fashion - Karl Templer

Hi Calliopejen

I wanted to contact you about creating a page for british-born stylist and creative director of Interview magazine Karl Templer. I have been trying to create a page for him for a few weeks now but I keep running into technical difficulties.

I have cited the book Stylist: Interpreters of Fashion by Sarah Mower and Style.com as sources along with a feature in the New York Times.

Please follow the link to my sandbox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Freemans_land/sandbox

I would truly appreciate any assistance you can offer in getting this page up an running.

File:Modern Contemporary.jpg
Hello. I just stumbled across this image. It looks like you started a deletion nomination for the file in November, but never completed the process. From some cursory searching, it looks like the work of Towhidi Tabari and is probably a copyright violation. I tagged it as missing a source, so it likely will be deleted without the need for a discussion. - Eureka Lott 19:38, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

This is what I remember
about File:Florek-wikipedia.jpg. It was from an EMU theater department program from when Florek was a student there. It was given to me by someone who was also in that dept. at that time. i asked if there was any copyright info on the program and was told "No." I emailed the EMU Theater Dept. and asked about it and did not get a reply. I would guess that such an image was automatically copyrighted at the time it was published and that it has never been renewed. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:53, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I did specifically ask if there was a copyright notice in the program, because all I was sent was the picture, not the entire program, and was told "No."  I will try and contact the Theater Department at the university about this because B  erry LaRue, who sent me the picture and asked me to post it, knows no more.  i shall loose no sleep if this picture goes away, but will take stab at keeping it. Carptrash (talk) 00:53, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * UPDATE. "Hello Einar,
 * Professor Heck Seibert forwarded your question to me and I am looking into how images taken for EMU theatre playbills can be used. I will get back with you when I have more information. thank you,   kathy Carptrash (talk) 17:02, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Human trafficking in Egypt for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Human trafficking in Egypt is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Human trafficking in Egypt until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  DGG ( talk ) 01:59, 3 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I think I owe you an apology and an explanation:I never actually want to delete the article. What I want to get exact citing of our material from published sources so the reader know what part comes from whee, not just a general statement. Perhaps you can help e think of the best way to do it and the best place to discuss it. (I have a bias for starting things at AfD, because I'm most at home there, but I know it's not really the best way or the fairest)  DGG ( talk ) 21:51, 3 May 2014 (UTC).
 * No worries, I don't take any of this personally! You could start at Wikipedia talk:Plagiarism. I personally don't see a problem in the current practice.  In my view, because Wikipedia is a collaborative work, plagiarism rules should operate (somewhat) differently here than elsewhere.  Maybe I should have indicated precisely in the edit summary which edits were from where -- would that satisfy you?  Here's where I'm coming from -- if a reader looks and sees my name sprinkled throughout the history, it's not immediately apparent which parts I authored, and how the current version differs from what I wrote, without a decent amount of clicking and legwork.  I'm not sure why having to compare the source US govt document to the article to see what was written by that US govt commission is any worse for the reader, or any less credit than the author deserves.  (If anything, they are receiving more credit than Wikipedian authors!) Obviously there are completely separate issues about the appropriate use of sources--and admittedly that article is not Wikipedia's best work!!--but I don't see in principle why public domain works published elsewhere can't just be a part of the grand collaborative process here, and why they require even more credit than a general statement like the one I included. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:01, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Another related thought that's also behind my position -- it's important to be able to modify public domain works to improve and update them etc. (Let's set aside this specific example bc perhaps it's politically loaded -- imagine instead EB1911 or something by NASA.)  I would like to be able to build off of work that has previously been done, but be able to update it and improve it over time.  Perhaps I use the text verbatim initially, but it gets changed and improved by other users over time.  I think having a general statement that indicates the use of the text without being unduly specific allows this collaborative editing process to function optimally.

1st Grande Prêmio Cinema Brasil
Hi, and thanks for your efforts in copyediting this article. However, it's unclear on the GOCE requests page if you copyedited the whole article (as the requesting editor expects) and if you're finished; we usually use two templates (Working and Done) for this. If you're new to copyediting, it's best to cut your teeth on backlog articles (in fact, we have a backlog-reduction drive going on now); request articles are generally future Good Article and Featured Article candidates, and the bar is somewhat higher. Please clarify the status of your copyedit on the requests page. Again, thanks for your help; we can really use it! All the best,  Mini  apolis  19:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Feedback request
Thank you for your advice regarding my article. I have taken it on board and made significant changes (especially a lot of deleting!) and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving me feedback again, as I would like to get it perfect before I submit it onto the live wikipedia. Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Granola_t/Charles_Tchen Granola t (talk) 00:12, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I've made my suggested revisions (including much more deleting!). The last version still seemed too much like a CV/promotional page.  To be honest, I'm not sure if Tchen is notable by Wikipedia standards.  However, for people in Africa, there are often fewer reliable sources available online so it is hard to say how this one would be judged. I'd go ahead and move it into the main encyclopedia, but just understand that there is still the possibility of deletion if he is ultimately deemed to be not notable... If you have access to any print sources about Tchen and could incorporate them into the article, that would be great. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:53, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

User talk:ThebigmacRONALD
Jen, we don't know each other, but it's usual to check with the blocking administrator before unblocking a user. See WP:BLOCK ("Except in cases of unambiguous error or significant change in circumstances dealing with the reason for blocking, administrators should avoid unblocking users without first attempting to contact the blocking administrator to discuss the matter.").--Bbb23 (talk) 22:46, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know about that recommendation. I'll keep it in mind in the future. The case seemed fairly straightforward, so I didn't really think about it. Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:52, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Re: Bird name capitalization
Thanks for your message. I was fully aware of what (some) Wikipedians had decided about bird name capitalization before I edited the Anna's Hummingbird entry, and (at the risk of sounding uncivil) the opinions of those Wikipedians carry about as much weight with me as the communications standards of the English-speaking ornithological community carry with those Wikipedians. You're absolutely correct that it's not worth my time to review the discussion, because I've been discussing this issue with editors, other writers, and non-ornithologists in general for 20+ years and am intimately familiar with all the arguments on both sides. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tz'unun (talk • contribs) 04:05, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Puente de la Unidad Nacional
Hope you're well! I remembered your fondness for Ecuador and wondered if you or could translate from es wiki or the source and expand this for a DYK or something. I had trouble with the translation.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:21, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi there! I'll see what I can do -- seems to be relatively filled with jargon, but I can ask my husband for help. :) I may not be able to get to this for a bit (pretty busy at the moment) but I'll put it on my todo list.  Hopefully within the next week or two! Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:13, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I was procrastinating, so I just did the translation now. :) Some of the original Spanish text wasn't terribly clear (I think an issue of the original writing rather than a language barrier -- perhaps assuming the reader knows more about Ecuadorian politics than I do?). Anyways I translated about 90% of it and left about 10% of it out where I didn't think the translation would be useful. I'll see if I have time later to source and clean up the article. Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:30, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW I must have driven over this bridge previously, going between Guayaquil and Cuenca! Fun to have an article on it now. Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:34, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, yeah I did suspect that might be the case!♦ Dr. Blofeld  07:59, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you noticed, but I had to erase the vast majority of the article bc of copyright concerns. In the es.wiki article, there are a lot of bits copied and pasted from the Spanish sources.  I think it would be necessary to write the article from scratch... I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure I'm up for writing a whole new article on this bridge....

Thanks for Changing James Garner Photo
Thanks for changing the photo at the top of the James Garner website! I think that same terrible photo of Garner has been the lead one for this site for over 15 years and there've been various attempts to switch it out, all to no eventual avail. I hope this change sticks; this photo you cropped from "Maverick" is so much better. Jump Forward Immediately (talk) 17:02, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I had no idea that there was a history with the old photo... For a living person, a lot of times it makes sense to have a more recent photo, but once they have died I think it's best to use a photo from their prime. And mostly that photo was just terrible -- not really looking at the camera, etc.! Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:04, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Message for later use: L.A. events on October 7 and 16
Upcoming L.A. events: Wik-Ed Women editing session (Tues., 10/7, 6-10pm) and UCR Wikipedia Loves Libraries event (Thurs., 10/16, 10am-4pm)

The Southern California Wikipedia community has two exciting events coming up in the next few weeks: a Wik-Ed Women editing session downtown designed to combat systemic bias, and a Wikipedia Loves Libraries event at UC Riverside!

Wik-Ed Women is a new monthly series of informal Wikipedia editing sessions for Los Angeles women-in-the-arts (though all are welcome) to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia, specifically expanding content about women artists. This second session will take place on Tuesday, October 7 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown. Please RSVP here if you plan to attend.

The UC Riverside Wikipedia Loves Libraries event is an edit-a-thon targeting articles related to UC Riverside, SoCal, and beyond. Join students and faculty learning how to edit! This event will take place on Thursday, October 16 from 10am to 4pm at UCR's Tomás Rivera Library. Again, RSVPs are requested here.

I hope to see you there! Calliopejen1 (talk) - via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:59, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Greetings! / Art+Feminism
Hi User:Calliopejen1! I wanted to reach out to learn more about the East of Borneo Edit-a-Thons in L.A. I hope to write a story or do an interview with one of the organizers, and would also be interested in communicating more about a potential future, upcoming Art+Feminism Edit-a-Thon this fall. Hope to talk soon. :) OR drohowa (talk) 18:17, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The primary person organizing the EOB edit-a-thons is User:StaceyEOB -- she does the vast majority of the legwork, and I help out with some Wikipedia expertise. I don't want to steal her thunder but would be happy to talk to you -- email me if you'd like to set up something via Skype etc. Also, User:Kadelman organized last year's Art+Feminism thing in Los Angeles.  I'm not sure if she's planning to do it again this year but her event last time at the Public School was really cool! Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:59, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

another LA edit-a-thon
I'm announcing Meetup/LA/20. I've already requested the geo-notice but I could use your help pushing out the invitation to Wikipedians on the LA list. I'm not particular as to the text; please advise if you'd like me to draft something. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 07:26, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, could you draft something up? If you could figure out some way to distinguish it from the Unforgetting L.A. edit-a-thon, that would be great!  (Maybe a different suggested focus? Something else California-related, or something different altogether?)  It's great that the guy from the wiknic is volunteering his space!  Let me know if you need help organizing or any extra supplies etc.  I need to check my calendar at home, but I think I should be able to make it! Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:59, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Mentoring at the Co-op
Hi Jen! This is Jethro, a fellow host at the Teahouse. I'm running a pilot of a new mentorship space called the the Co-op, and am looking for mentors. There isn't a real interface yet as we're still building it, but to give you plenty of notice, I wanted to ask if you might be interested in mentoring 1 or 2 editors during our pilot. We plan to start piloting in December and run for about two months. Mentors would only need to teach things relevant to what an editor wants to do or accomplish, so it's less of a commitment compared to teaching comprehensively about Wikipedia. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, of course, so let me know if there's anything about the space you'd like to know more about. Much like the Teahouse, the only way we'll know if our project is useful is if we can get folks to help teach. <font color="green" face="Candara">I, JethroBT drop me a line 18:45, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Getpissy
Perhaps we should unblock to allow a username RFC. As pleasant as they doubtless are in real life, not everyone they encounter here will know that, and I would be comfortable letting them edit with that name as long as community consensus supported it.

Feel free to do the unblock yourself ... I am having some computer problems at the moment so my online time is limited and sporadic. Daniel Case (talk) 04:41, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello! Thanks for reaching out! Sorry I missed that last edit-a-thon. It's hard to make many work-week events cause of my work schedule, but I appreciate the shout out. Looking forward to meeting you this weekend. I'm also in touch with some folks who are organizing a memorial edit-a-thon for Adrianne Wadewitz at ASECS, Wednesday, March 16, 2015. Would you and/or others be interested in participating? It'd be great to get some experienced Wikipedians involved! AnitaConchita (talk) 23:32, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No worries, I totally understand! Hope to see you this weekend -- I'll probably be there from 12:30-2:30 or so, but I'm not positive I'll make it (have commitments before and after)... As for the event in March, I'd definitely be interested in participating, though it's hard to plan anything six months in advance! The Bonaventure is super close to where I work, which would make it pretty easy to drop by. Keep me in the loop! Will the event be open to the public (i.e. can I include it tentatively on the meetup calendar and advertise it in our blast notices when the date gets closer)?  Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah! Turns out, I can't make it today either. But I'll keep you in the loop once I learn more about the event in March. It should be open to the public, and we'd love to get as many Wikipedians and friends of Adrianne there as possible. I'll ask the orgainzer to be sure though, but I'm sure you can advertise and blast away! AnitaConchita (talk) 18:11, 21 September 2014 (UTC) Update: Event is totally free and open to the public.

Proposed deletion of Prayong Chuenyen


The article Prayong Chuenyen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Wgolf (talk) 01:44, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Underlinked
Okay if you see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Prayong_Chuenyen only one page links to it which is why it has the tag. Anyway thanks Wgolf (talk) 04:54, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually Underlinked is for when there aren't enough outgoing links, i.e. links from that Wikipedia article going somewhere else. You're describing something like Orphan but that tag doesn't apply when there is at least one inbound link. Calliopejen1 (talk) 05:00, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited American fiddle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wichita.

Co-op: Pre-pilot discussion for mentors
Hey Jen. I've posted some initial information and discussions points about the space for mentors here. Give it a read, ask questions on what's not clear, and feel free to add suggestions to the topics I've brought up about mentoring so far. I just pinged a bunch of people at once for this; I understand that sometimes it doesn't go through, so I wanted to make sure you were aware.

1964 Constitution of Afghanistan: Preamble
It's already at wikisource:Constitution of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Should I nominate it for deletion without redirect? --George Ho (talk) 21:29, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I just redirected to 1964 Constitution of Afghanistan; seems like the simplest solution. Maybe some of them could be expanded one day if there was significant commentary on any portion of the constitution (a la Second Amendment). I know pretty much zero about Afghan law and doubt that they would realistically expanded, who knows though. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:03, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Dear Sir could you help me with this please?

P.S. Happy New Year
 * Hi Mr Hall! I have redirected all of these articles to 1964 Constitution of Afghanistan.  Wikipedia does not host copies of historical documents, though its sister site Wikisource does.  This constitution already exists at Wikisource and should be improved there -- see https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Kingdom_of_Afghanistan .  Good luck! Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:05, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your help, would you also help me with this though:
 * Line of succession to the former Afghan throne

I would be grateful. Mr Hall of England (talk) 18:42, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I would recommend adding that information as a new section of Kingdom of Afghanistan, because I'm not really sure we need a separate articles on the line of succession. Maybe I could be proved wrong, though.... I see that in the 1964 constitution, the line of succession was specified in articles 16-19.  I'm not sure how the line of succession worked prior to 1964 (it appears that Afghanistan was a monarchy 1926–1973).  I don't think I'll be adding the information myself because (maybe because I am American!) I find monarchies to be extremely tedious.  But good luck adding it yourself! :) Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:42, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi Andrea, I still really don't think this company is notable by Wikipedia standards. It seems that you still haven't been able to find any articles about the company's core business.

Adjusting pilot start date - WP:Co-op
Hello  Calliopejen1 ,

I'll be putting out a formal update sometime soon, but I wanted to inform you that I've decided to push our start date back to mid-February rather than in January. There are number of reasons for this, but the biggest factor is that we are now facing the hard work of implementing our designs on the Mediawiki interface. It's a limiting environment to work with from a web-building perspective, and the team that worked on the Teahouse can offer similar testimonials to these challenges. We also want to make sure there is time for us and for you to test the environment out, ask questions at our project's talk page, and give us a little time to make any last changes before we start inviting editors to the space. If some of you know you will be unavailable during this time, it's totally fine if you need to bow out for the pilot. But we do need all the mentors we can get, so even if you can take the time to mentor just one or two editors, that would be fantastic. Thanks a bunch, <b style="font-family:Candara;color:green">I, JethroBT</b> drop me a line on behalf of Wikipedia:Co-op.

Hi Jen! I'm down in San Diego, but so appreciate the notices of the wikipedia meetups you've been doing! Can't make it this time, but do hope to see you guys soon - would love to connect in more, especially when I've got students who are learning how to contribute!

LA Edit-a-Thon
I saw this on another user's page. I'm in LA and I'm wondering how to form an edit-a-thon with Wikipedia scientists, mathematicians, engineers in LA. I don't suppose we already have groups like that? SW3 5DL (talk) 02:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, User:SW3 5DL. To "form an edit-a-thon" you pretty much need to find a location to meet, and invite your friends!  It's not really a "group" per se.  We haven't had any math/science edit-a-thons in LA because the people interested in organizing haven't generally been interested in those topics.  By the way, when I organize and/or advertise edit-a-thons, I don't generally get a big turnout from editors who found out about it on Wikipedia.  Most attendees tend to come from real-life social networks.  If you are interested in organizing something, let me know.  I can help do a blast message, add a watchlist geonotice, provide advice re logistics, etc. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:07, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:Co-op news for December 2014 – Feburary 2015
Hey, it's been a while. The Co-op team has been hard at work during over the winter, so let's get right into what's been happening: Thanks to all of the new mentors who have joined over the past few months. Big thanks to to posting about our little project here to the gendergap-l mailing list. <b style="font-family:Candara;color:green">I, JethroBT</b> drop me a line 00:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC) on behalf of Wikipedia:Co-op.
 * Graphic design work is nearing completion and development work is coming along slowly but surely. The main components of the space, profiles, the landing page, and the mentor landing page have all been built, and we're basically just putting the pieces together.  We have close-to-final draft of the landing page, which is currently at User:Slalani/Landing_page, and in the thumbnail to the right.  You can check out other components over at User:Slalani if you're curious., , and I are working together on some of the front page elements.  We've also been doing some testing on test.wikipedia.org for profile building and matching.  If you're curious about checking that out, let me know.
 * We've finished up a survey for newer editors to assess their experiences of using existing help spaces (e.g. Reference Desk, Teahouse, IRC, The Wikipedia Adventure) on en.wikipedia.  is putting together a summary of that survey, and in the meantime, some findings from that survey of 45 newer editors include:
 * On average, editors found contributing to Wikipedia to be easier after using the help space compared to before.
 * However, after using one or more help spaces, only half of editors reported that editing, addressing social challenges, and resolving technical issues were easy or very easy. The other half of editors were either neutral, or reported that these matters were difficult or very difficult.
 * Just under 30% (11 of 38 editors) of newer editors said they probably would have stopped editing entirely had they not received support from the help space they used.
 * Editors frequently reported either 1) that they would not have been learn what they needed without the help space, or 2) That they could have found it, but admitted that it would have been difficult or taken much longer.
 * We will be making one final move of the pilot start date to March 4th, 2015. This is the last move (I promise), because we can't afford to run the pilot any later than that.  So there it is:  March 4th or bust!  But we won't bust, because there are just a few things left on our plate before we can run our pilot successfully.  I'll be alerting you about when you will be able to make mentor profiles soon, so when you get a message about that, please take a minute or two to create your profile here (otherwise, you won't get matched to any editors!).

I thought it might be helpful if I created a mock-up (it's based on others I've seen from the LA community... stolen shamelessly):

Co-op: Mentor profiles and final pilot prep
Hey mentors, two announcements:
 * 1) You can now make your profile at The Co-op!  Please set up your mentor profile here as soon as you are able, as the pilot begins on March 4th.  It isn't very involved and should only take a minute.  If you need more info about what the different skills mean (e.g. writing, communication), please refer to these descriptions.
 * 2) Profile creation, invitations, and automated matching of editors, profile creation, that will be coordinated through and a few gadgets may not be ready for our pilot, and will have to be done manually until they are ready.  In preparation for the pilot, please read over these instructions on how we will be manually performing these tasks until the automated components are ready. <b style="font-family:Candara;color:green">I, JethroBT</b> drop me a line on behalf of Wikipedia:Co-op.

Question about March - women's history month promotion
Hi Jen, I'm sorry I missed meeting you in LA last week. I had a really great experience at the edit-a-thon and I'm inspired to plan my own. Last week, I received messages about a wikipedia initiative to promote women editors and women's subjects that included brainstorming and grant support. Now, I cannot find the pages. Do you know anything about this? The deadline for the grants is the end of the month, and I was hoping to apply for some funds to support the edit-a-thon in November. If that's not available, do you have any suggestions for who I might contact to plan my own edit-a-thon? Thanks LLRungegordon (talk) 21:02, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry that I wasn't able to make it! I had a crazy day at work that day.... :( The main landing page for the Inspire campaign (of which the grants are a part) is here, and the informational page for the grants specifically is meta:Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire/Funding.  If you end up missing the deadline for the Inspire grants, there are also project and event grants that are available all year long -- and my general understanding is that if you have a reasonable plan, you have a good chance of getting funding.

Talk:Francisco de Zurbarán
In the summary of your revert on Talk:Francisco de Zurbarán, you say, "Expand XXX templates can be applied to talk pages (referring to the associated article) or to article pages, at the editor's discretion.)"That seems debatable. The documentation of Expand French says, To mark an article, tag it with..., that is, tag the article.  In the next sentence, it says that the template places articles in the category Articles needing translation....

The instructions could be worded more clearly, to be sure, but current operation of the template makes it clear: whatever page contains the template will be categorized as needing translation. After your revert, the Talk page now appears in the Category of pages needing translation from French, but the article itself does not. I won't revert again, but I don't believe that this was your intent. Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 21:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If you go to Template talk:Expand language (the master template from which all the more specific templates draw) and its archives, there has been a lot of discussion over the years about banner placement. Some people believe it should only be used on article pages, some believe it should only be used talk pages, and some believe it can be used on either.  Particularly given that many people believe it should only be included on talk pages, I don't think it makes sense to remove it.  I think it's similar to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of people where it's clear that editors aren't requesting a photo of a talk page.... Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:57, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Male screenwriters
There hasn't been a discussion on this subject, per se...it's rather an outgrowth of a number of recategorizing projects that have come about more recently. (See, for instance, the subsets of - novelists and poets, for starters.)  I've started focusing on it more after having begun working with WikiProject Women writers. I've created several of the subcategories mentioned, but the breakdown into male and female writers began some while ago, and I'm not sure who initiated the discussion there.

Hi! So I have edited this article so many times, trying to make it neutral and straight forward, yet still describing all that Jam Cruise entails. Are there any particular lines that you feel sound more like an advertisement? The only paragraph I can see would be the paragraph that describes the collaborations and venues that adhere to that, or the ideology of Jam Cruise. IF you have any advice or suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
 * , First of all, are you affiliated with Jam Cruise? If so, please read WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide -- the most important rule is that your conflict must be disclosed. Some examples of ad-like language.... "expanding across the musical genres" "Jam Cruise's ideology supports" "designed with venues that are geared specifically for collaboration" "taking actions that positively impact people and the environment in the communities they visit" "immersive daytime schedule" "features hand-picked chefs to curate".... And overall the whole thing just reads like an ad.  Maybe it would be advisable to just cut a lot of the extraneous details.  We don't need to know the credentials of the on-board yoga instructor, for example.  I would cut the article to only include information that can be found in high-quality independent sources (e.g. Billboard, NYTimes, ABC News, Rolling Stone) and cut out all unsourced information or information sourced to low-quality sources (Jambase appears to be the worst offender).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Muhibullah. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you. I am trying to find reputed news paper articles and books related to Indian Queer movement. I am also having a bit of difficulties in finding mainstream newspaper articles or books on Queer issues, as the queer issues are not widely covered. We have few Queer centric blogs come up in the recent years, but as you said, the reliability of the blogs becomes very subjective.

Intertranswiki
Thanks, I'm hoping to rekindle some interest in this Inevitably it'll be down to the few of us anyway but there needs to be an active effort copying categories on other wikis and blue linking I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:48, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

To be honest, those inter translation tags we created a while back I find so ugly that I feel guilty using them. It is possible you could shrink them by default to a single line saying simply "Translate?" or "You can translate from German wikipedia", a skinny strip at the top in which you can click "show" to read the whole thing. Can you do that?♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:55, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Do you think you could respond on this? ♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:54, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * , could you be more specific about what you're envisioning? The problem is that I think maintenance templates need to have the date stamp, and then when you add any message about translating and even a brief explanation about the [show] button (which I think is necessary given the copyright problems if clueless people translate), I think you're already up to two lines -- which is what it is currently.  Could you draft a proposed new version that incorporates these elements and is only one line? Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Include all of the current content into the template. But by default make it a single line skinny as possible strip (at least as skinny as that between the lines) which looks something like:

-                                           Translate from xxxx wikipedia? Show -

Make it half as skinny as that if you can, make the template a strip rather than fat bloated thing. You can link the other wiki article in the part that says "German wikipedia" or whatever. As compact as possible which gives the editor the notice and when they click show can read the fully details. Can you make a mock example and I'll comment.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:28, 30 April 2015 (UTC) ♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:25, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thoughts re Template:Expand language/sandbox? You can't see the linking yet but you get the idea... Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:32, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Much better, yup, that would be almost ideal. I gather you can't make it even skinnier though? There's some quite big white gaps either side, it could be nearer half the width still if you could do something to control the box size.♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:47, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You can't make it any narrower? That's OK then, please update the templates with the new shrunken down version. I'll start using them again for some articles then!♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:06, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * -- No, it's based off another standard template and can't be changed. Now I'm having second thoughts about your proposed changes -- all of the templates at Template messages/Cleanup start with "This article..."  I don't know that it would make sense for this one to be non-standard.  Can you think of another way to shrink it rather than using the "Translate from...?" text?

Dear Reviewer: Calliopejen1 HI! I wonder how I can improve/add citations when all there is on the web is limited or it's in Farsi. the main reason I am trying to create a thing here, is no existence of a reliable source in english on the cybernet ! I have added all there is regarding the references. Please let me know how to improve it with my limitations. thank you, awaiting your reply.
 * , sources in Farsi or offline are acceptable (e.g. articles from reputable Iranian newspapers). Obviously, don't take message that you can use Farsi sources as an opportunity to use low-quality Farsi sources -- but if good sources in Farsi exist, then they can be the basis for an article.

Review and Rejection of Institute for Preventive Foot Health Entry 13 May, 2015
Dear Calliopejen1, I received your feedback about IPFH's "notability." Actually, I had included a number of references from reliable sources, but when I included them in an earlier revision, was told that the entry read like an advertisement. I took that to mean that I should remove those links. So, I'm hoping you can help by suggesting how I might mention some of the links and coverage IPFH has received to show notability without having another reviewer think that I am being promotional. Here are some examples that show that IPFH is a respected and reliable organization and source of information: IPFH's reports and research have been referred to by these well known US national and international publications/web sites: -Consumer Reports referred to IPFH's National Foot Health Assessment in the lead of this article, which was picked up in publications and broadcast media across the US:http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2014/01/don-t-let-stylish-shoes-give-you-unhappy-feet/index.htm - CNN referred to the National Foot Health Assessment here:http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/18/health/flip-flops-hurting-feet/index.html Additional references may be found here: - Huffingtion Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/28/foot-problems-issues-feet-health_n_1628246.html - Time Magazine: http://time.com/money/2793598/5-things-to-know-about-foot-pain/ IPFH.org is linked to from these national/international health care organizations and web sites: -American Academy of Physicians Assistants (AAPA): https://www.aapa.org/twocolumn.aspx?id=2452 - Cleveland Clinic: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/services/orthopaedics-rheumatology/diseases-conditions/hic-common-foot-problems - International Council on Active Aging (ICAA): http://www.icaa.cc/footcare.htm - ICAA's Active Aging Week: http://activeagingweek.com/themedays/day1-foot-health-ipfh.php - SoHealthy European and Mediterranean Research Network on Healthy Feet: http://www.sohealthyproject.eu/events (scroll down to see the IPFH writeup, including logo) IPFH Scientific Advisory Board Members' articles, developed in collaboration with IPFH's researcher and writer, have appeared in these publications: i.

Here is a link to the AdWords grant requiremets page:http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en/us/grants/pdf/external-nonprofit-guide-2014.pdf Thanks in advance for any help you might provide. Rmreally (talk) 20:25, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * , none of these sources indicate notability to me. What we are looking for is sources that are about IPFH in some way (e.g. sources that say "IPFH is the leading institute of foot health" or "IPFH was established in 1952 by Drs. Smith and Jones" or "IPFH receives funding from the National Institute of Health" or whatever -- these are obviously arbitrary examples).  Articles by people affiliated with IPFH do not help establish IPFH's notability, nor do mere references to IPFH in other publications or mere links to IPFH at other websites.  Do you have any independent reliable sources about IPFH? Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:32, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Calliopejen1, I understand your concern about IPFH's notability and reliability. IPFH is equally concerned about these issues and so it vets very carefully any organizations with which partnerships are considered. The same is true for publications such as Consumer Reports and medical organizations such as Cleveland Clinic and AAPA. The fact that these sites and publications reference our work and link to IPFH is an implied endorsement, and so they take such mentions and linking seriously, as does IPFH. Also, because direct links are offered, these organizations rarely take the space to describe the entities to which they are linking, assuming readers can visit if they want more information.

As further evidence of notability, the following was just published today by the European Union's SOHEALTHY Project, which also carefully vets the organizations, such as IPFH, that it invites to become members. In the following, it does describe IPFH to its members. This text is on the organization's website and its Linked In page, and was linked to on Twitter:

Promoting the WORLD FOOT HEALTHY AWARENESS Month

May 15, 2015

May is the World Foot Health Awareness Month, and so the SOHEALTHY project would like to contribute to this cause by informing you about the awareness-raising efforts that relevant worldwide organisations are making to increase awareness of the importance of foot health among the general public and health professionals.

This is the case of the Institute for Preventive Foot Health (IPFH), which is a SOHEALTHY network member, and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to raising awareness about the importance of caring for the feet through education, research and the identification of methods demonstrated by clinical research to prevent, treat and manage painful conditions and diseases such us diabetic foot syndrome) affecting the feet, mobility, functional status and quality of life.

Over the past six months, this American organisation has made strong awareness-raising efforts that are worth mentioning. For example, it has supported the development of a Continuing Medical Education course for the American Academy of Physicians Assistants on how to do a diabetic foot exam (find here more information), it has contributed to the article "AFOs and interfaces: The important role of socks," by IPFH scientific advisory board member Harry Brandt, CO, to Lower Extremity Review (see here the article). It has also contributed to the interesting blog "Don't Forget the Feet: The Importance of Foot Exams in Primary Care" by IPFH scientific advisory board member Lori Weisenfeld, DPM, to Primary Care Progress (find here more info). This is an interesting blog for physicians and patients that has thousands of visitors daily.

The SOHEALTHY Project would like to thank IPFH and other relevant organisations for their efforts in raising awareness of these important diseases, that has important economic, social and human repercussions all over the world. We are convinced that we need to work together to overcome global challenges, because if everyone does one’s bit we can really face it.

 * -- That source is so far the closest you have to what you need, but given the partnership, the Sohealthy Project is not independent of IPFH. And even if it were independent, multiple independent reliable sources are needed -- not just one.  I think that you should concentrate on getting press interest in IPFH and come back to write an article when you have more good sources.  Also, please read the condensed conflict of interest guide -- if you are affiliated with IPFH, as I assume you are, Wikipedia's Terms of Use require you to disclose that affiliation on your user page. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:10, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * -- Thank you your response. It is difficult enough to get people to pay attention to their feet and understand the importance of doing so, especially if they have diabetes and other conditions that put their feet at risk of ulceration. There is no obvious reason for the media to cover an organization that is trying to raise awareness about an issue to which people are not inclined to pay attention. As for SOHEALTHY being a partner, yes, it is now a partner because they invited IPFH to join their efforts. That is the kind of recognition that matters more than whether or not the organization appears in the popular press. The respect of esteemed organizations should be considered a benchmark of quality, as well as the research and education that the organization conveys to the public and to health and medical professionals. I am not a paid employee of IPFH and I do not have a Wikipedia user page. Am I required to have one?

Rmreally (talk) 19:18, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * , sorry, that is simply not how Wikipedia judges whether subjects qualify for an article. Re user pages, the rule is "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation."  If this is not the case for you, you are not required to have a user page.  Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:22, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * -- No problem! Let me know if you have any further questions.  I removed a note about Jimmy Lyon being a notable alum -- the reason I removed him in the first place is that no reliable sources appear to state that he attended the school.  If you could reference the yearbook that is held by the city library to show that he attended, that would be one way to establish it.  A yearbook really isn't the best sort of source (it's more like archival material than a book published normally) but I think you could skate by.  If you're trying to improve the article generally, I would recommend gathering as many old newspaper articles about the high school as possible, and then writing the article based on the content of those newspaper articles.  Maybe other alums or local librarians could help. Calliopejen1 (talk) 04:34, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
