Women in Red
Hi there, DrLibraryCat, and welcome to Women in Red. It's always good to have members who introduce their students to Wikipedia. You will see that I have made a few technical edits to the short biography of Edith Coleridge you recently created. If you intend to write more articles about women, 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) 11:40, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! I appreciate the edits and suggestions!DrLibraryCat (talk) 14:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Annie Pearl Avery
Hi, I noticed that you moved User:Annie Pearl Avery to Annie Pearl Avery less than a minute after I moved it to Draft:Annie Pearl Avery. IMHO, I don't think what's there is enough to be an article (it's reliant almost entirely on a single interview, which fails WP:IS and WP:DIVERSE.

I think the article starter should have the chance to improve it, so I think it makes sense to move it back to the draft space. Otherwise, I don't think it would survive deletion discussion. Would you have a problem with moving it to draft? Ytoyoda (talk) 20:13, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Detroit Partnership
Hi, I reverted some edits on this article, which I now see were added by students in your course. I'm sorry if this has discouraged them, but it would be helpful if they could take more time to understand the sourcing needed, and how to write neutrally and encyclopaedically, before making their changes to articles in the main space. The article certainly needs some work! I'm just not sure that what they have done so far has actually helped rather than exacerbated the problems? Thanks, Melcous (talk) 00:56, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * As a further point to Melcous' note: it appears that your class is running on the principle that your students are peer-reviewing each other's edits to decide what content is added to the article. Since all of the students are new Wikipedia editors, I would submit that this may help your class, but it does not help Wikipedia. Inexperienced editors do not make excellent reviewers, as evidenced by the amount of material Melcous had to remove from the article. Your students appear to be hyper-focused on one aspect of the subject matter (the Gotham Hotel), which ends up giving undue weight to that particular topic within the article. Perhaps more review from you as the instructor, or other, more experienced editors (perhaps reach out to relevant WikiProjects) prior to publication in the article would help produce cleaner results.

 * As I mentioned in my reply on Melcous' page, the students are supposed to be drafting in the sandbox, not the main space, so I've reminded them of that. The peer review is an official Wiki Edu assignment controlled through the Education Dashboard. Only one group in the class is focused on the Gotham Hotel; other groups are focused on different sections, but did not make the mistake of editing in the main space. I agree that the edits need more work before moving to the main space, so I'll try to make that happen (I am a librarian and not the main instructor, but I'll work with the instructor to make sure that students' work is reviewed.) I would appreciate you extending a little grace to these students in the meantime, and maybe helping them to learn by discussing these errors with them on the talk page where they can see it.DrLibraryCat (talk) 22:12, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
