Speedy deletion nomination of Clara H. Hasse


A tag has been placed on Clara H. Hasse requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. JoelWhy (talk) 19:21, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Clara Hasse
Hi Effie! I stumbled across a source about Clara H. Hasse that also mentions that she worked on citrus canker. It's a brief mention, but, it's something. I found it via Jstor. I'm assuming you can access it at work, if not, I can send it your way via PDF or add the citation when you are ready. You can find it here. Sarah (talk) 02:24, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I also assume the article you were talking about earlier today was one from the USDA? Looks promising! It looks like her article was cited in a lot of places, so, I think this surely helps to solidify her notability. You never know what you might find at the archives too. Yay! Sarah (talk) 02:28, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

A lot of action for one woman! You can see some discussion on my talk page here User_talk:SarahStierch. Sarah (talk) 15:05, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Faye Tso images
hi, thanks for helping out at editathon, good writing, however these photos may still be under copyright. (see FAQ/Copyright). i would recommend uploading these to english wikipedia with a fair use rationale. the artworks would require an article about each one to host the image. (see also Non-free content). 98.169.241.140 (talk) 14:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

A representative from the museum cleared the images with me during the edit-a-thon and told me the specific cc licenses to use, so I'm not sure where the issue is. --Digitaleffie (talk) 15:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Faye Tso, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Navajo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Women in Science Edit-a-Thon, Part III
Hi, DigitalEffie. Thanks for organizing this edit-a-thon. I started a draft about Muriel E. Mussells Seyfert last March, one of the women in your to-do list. I'll likely work on her article or one about her sister Sylvia during your event.

When you publicize the event, I hope you'll emphasize that anyone can participate. It takes only minutes to become a Wikipedian and to contribute to the encyclopedia. If someone doesn't already have an account, they can create one at the event. If those signing up for new accounts exceed the IP limit (six per day), I can override that and override the antispoof for similar names (if the similar account is inactive). I'm a host at the Teahouse and I'm a Co-Op mentor. I enjoy helping a new editor through creating a first artiCle like here all the way through the WP:DYK. I prod newcomers to do most of the work, offering suggestions and doing bits of cleanup.

Writing Wikipedia articles about women scientists is a challenge. The Guardian article only tells part of the story. Do you know who discovered the first dwarf galaxy? The Wikipedia article credits Harlow Shapley, the man who published the data in a scholarly journal. Few know or care that the discovery was actually made by an assistant astronomer, Sylvia Mussells Lindsay (Murial's sister) as related here (in the 7th paragraph). Finding reliable sources that state that Shapley discovered the first dwarf galaxy is easy; there are hundreds of them. Documenting that a young female assistant did so is a lot harder but Shapley acknowledges Sylvia's accomplishment even if only in a footnote. The Mussells sisters made significant contributions to astronomy that aren't acknowledged in Wikipedia and are rarely and barely mentioned elsewhere.

From the late 19th century through the first three quarters of the 20th century, astronomy was definitely male-dominated. Telescopes have to remain exposed to the ambient air temperature to prevent thermal air currents from disturbing the images, both from distorting the shape of lenses and mirrors and the air movement itself. Male astronomers considered women too fragile to work in the cold conditions on mountain tops where telescopes were placed. Although completed in the 1940s, the first legal use of the 200" Hale telescope on the Palomar Observatory by a woman didn't occur until the 1960's. Even then, men resided in relative luxury while women resided in a separate unheated cottage.  Although well documented, that type of information doesn't generally appear in Wikipedia articles because it's not specifically stated in reliable sources and original research and synthesis are prohibited.

There's a great masters or doctoral thesis awaiting a women's studies student interested in such things. I'll gladly use it as a reference if it's openly published. Doctoral work is often a fantastic reliable source. Check out my draft about Cordelia Stanwood, an ornithologist lacking a Wikipedia article.

Enough of my comments and opinions. I'll see you at the edit-a-thon. Thanks again for all your work organizing it and please do emphasize that even a beginner can contribute to our encyclopedia. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 12:07, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi DocTree! I am thrilled you are going to join us and that you have already been working on Seyfert. We will for sure emphasize that new editors are welcome, and will have training. And I appreciate the extra hands you will offer! I had heard of the compute-her story and will dig more into what you wrote. I think you will enjoy the talk from Marcel LaFollette during the edit-a-thon. Also related to what you said above, we have some of the DASCH logbooks recorded by human computers from the Harvard College Observatory up for transcription in the Smithsonian Transcription Center. --Digitaleffie (talk) 22:11, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Signed up and doing log transcription for months. When I looked for info about it, I found none so I wrote Digital Access to a Sky Century @ Harvard (DASCH). Its WP:DYK was on 11 Dec 2014, garnering a couple thousand views while on the main page.  Perhaps a couple of folks found the SI transcription center via the external links.  Take care and I'll see you soon, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 14:50, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Fantastic! I'll let Transcription Coordinator know. Looking forward to seeing you next week! --Digitaleffie (talk) 13:26, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Giving thanks and wikilove
Hi, Effie. If you'd like, paste into the bottom of the talk page of those who participated in the 2015 Smithsonian Institution Archives Women in Science Edit-a-thon. It'll make a thank you. To see what it looks like, paste it anywhere you're in Edit mode and click Preview (but don't save it unless you want it there). Just a bit of wikilove if you're interested. Take care, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 19:23, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Doctree! I was planning on spreading the Wikilove today. It was a fun day and I appreciate you coming!
