I expect to see responses from editors of articles I am working on here if I don't see their notes on the article talk pages fast enough. I'll check here each time I open Wikipedia to work on editing. I currently have sandbox versions of Mary Osborn (sandbox) and Joseph Gall (Be Bold). LLMHoopes (talk) 06:25, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Neal B. Abraham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greencastle ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Neal_B._Abraham check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Neal_B._Abraham?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Currently I am working on two articles for my WikiEd Fellows class, Mary Osborn in Sandbox and Regulatory RNA in Sandbox3. The article for next week's review is Mary Osborn in sandbox.LLMHoopes (talk) 20:04, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

SandboxRuChih
Hi. You created SandboxRuChih as an article in the Wikipedia mainspace. It is clearly not ready to be published yet and given the contents, it seems you meant it to be a WP:DRAFT not an article. I've moved it to the draft space here: Draft:Ru Chih C. Huang where you can continue to work on it until it is ready to be published. Bennv3771 (talk) 11:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

edits in my sandbox
My sandbox was not prepared for review when you looked at it. Much more info has been added. It is currently lacking a strong intro that will be tailored to non-chemists but the article is written for that purpose. I will add more references Jlf3756 (talk) 22:36, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

==Sandbox inventory LH: Sandbox: Mary Osborn, ready to review. Sandbox3: Regulatory RNA in progress for creation after review next month. NewSandbox, BeBold, and Sandbox2: other articles I may work on later and have just started to work on.LLMHoopes (talk) 00:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Bette Korber
Hey, I've made a few changes your recently article about Bette Korber. First, you included a little too much personal information which doesn't belong on Wikipedia, and I fixed some of the general formatting. Also, I noticed that you used LinkedIn as one of your sources. This isn't considered to be a reliable source on Wikipedia, so that will have to be changed. Other than that, it's a well-written article. Morphdog talk 02:10, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi ! I was wondering if you could clarify the stance on personal information. My general stance on this is that it's OK to mention things such as marriage and children in an article as long as the information is:
 * Properly sourced with a reliable source that explicitly states the claim.
 * The information is generally known or public knowledge - there is no obvious attempt to keep this information private.
 * The information is neutrally written and is given the proper amount of weight in the article. (IE, only a sentence or two as opposed to 1-2 paragraphs.)
 * I think that since Korber's husband is a public figure, he would definitely be fair game to mention in the article - especially as his citations show that he would most likely pass NACADEMIC and merit his own article. LLMHoopes didn't mention the children's names but just listed a number, so their privacy isn't really violated. I just wanted to get more of a discussion on this. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I just thought that some of her personal stuff didn't need to be included, since most of the article is about her professional accomplishments (which is also her claim to notability). For example, one of the points talked about how she played the flute, but didn't list anything notable relating to that. Reviewing what you said about his husband, I do agree that it's fair to mention him in the article.

Hi Morphdog, I will add back her husband. I also want to add the number (not the names) of her children. The guidelines for women scientists project includes instructions about how to phrase such information. I do feel that the fact that she has children and also is an accomplished scientist is an important thing for readers to realize since often articles claim the two are incompatible. I understand your point that her claim to fame is the science, but this aspect is also important in my view. Are you comfortable with that?LLMHoopes (talk) 19:04, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * That works, by the way since the article is unprotected you don't need to ask anyone before you make changes, you can be bold. Morphdog talk 20:13, 12 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks ! We wanted to discuss it with you first though, since the addition was contested. As far as my own viewpoint on professional accomplishments and articles go, I take kind of a holistic approach when it comes to a person's personal and professional life. Their personal lives do have some impact on the professional aspect and as a matter of completion: basically, it's reasonable that someone may ask about this and if it can be properly sourced and written, I like adding it. I can see where you're coming from as well, though. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, LLMHoopes, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created three biographies of women scientists. I hope there will be many more. In this connection, you might be interested in our Ten Simple Rules. If you run into any difficulties or need any assistance, please let me know. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:20, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Get ready for November with Women in Red!

Beatrice M Sweeney
Thank you for expanding the research section of the article. I really appreciate it! I hope you don't mind, but I reformatted the references a bit to keep them consistent with the rest of the article. Matt J User&#124;Talk 16:04, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Aces!
Hello! Just wanted to drop by and say that you're doing an excellent job! I'm a new pages reviewer and I just blazed through a bunch of excellent new articles on female scientists, a few of which were your creations. Hard to believe there are female members of the National Academy and female HHMI investigators who don't have Wikipedia pages!! Anyway, keep up the good work! If you have questions or concerns as you continue editing, don't hesitate to ask. Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 06:24, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

DYK, image
Congratulations!!!! This is so awesome!!!

I looked at the image and it looks like they were talking about this link. I managed to find the image again, they moved it to here.

With DYK, we have an exercise for that here that walks you through the process. Essentially, you come up with a nice catchy hook and after that it'll be reviewed by other editors to ensure that the hook is in the article and properly sourced and all of those good things. It's not as intensive of a process as the GA process, to say the least!

Again, congratulations! It's going to be the first of many! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:18, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I made a quick tweak to the DYK nomination page, mostly to format the source to how DYK usually styles it and to bold and link to Korber's article. One note I do have is that you may want to make a second DYK hook - I'm slightly worried that the hook you have is a bit too technical for most. Maybe rephrase it like this?
 * "...that Bette Korber created a database at Los Alamos National Laboratory that has enabled her to design novel mosaic HIV vaccines, one of which is currently in human testing in Africa?"
 * I simplified the first part about what's in the database to make this a little shorter. This could also be a possibility:
 * "...that Bette Korber developed a novel mosaic HIV vaccine that may slow or prevent HIV infection and is currently in human testing in Africa?"
 * This may simplify it too much since I left out the database part in order to give an explanation as to what the vaccine is meant to do. Definitely feel free to play around with these as you want. ReaderofthePack (｡◕‿◕｡)  20:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi! Sorry, this is me - I had logged into my other account for something and forgot to switch back! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk page response
I figured I'd start a new section since it's not entirely about the DYK. In any case, I gave the IP a warning under my main account. If they continue to do this, let me know. I may give them one more stern warning before doing any other type of action, like a block. It looks like they may be just a bit of drive by mischief, but if it continues I can take further action.

I went and fixed the hook - it should show up on the DYK page now. If you wanted to try your hand at other hooks, a good idea is to look at the hooks on the main page or here for inspiration.

Here's another hook, if you were interested in another alternate:


 * "...that Bette Korber has described the creation of mosaic test proteins as her making "sort of little Frankenstein proteins that look and feel like HIV proteins but they don’t exist in nature"? Sainani, K. (2009). "Evolution and HIV: Using computational phylogenetics to close in on a killer". Biomedical Computation Review. Symbios, the NIH National Center for Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures. pp. 20–31.

This quote just stuck out as really cool since hey - Frankenstein! (Sorry, big horror nerd!) There's also this:


 * "...that American computational biologist Bette Korber's work on creating HIV vaccines was partially driven by a close friend contracting one of the first cases of AIDS in Pasadena, CA?" McEnerny, R. (2010), "Tracking HIV Evolution", IAVI Report, 14 (3), pp. 4–9.

Definitely feel free to tweak these as you want! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:28, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Shalor, I love these two and added them to the page, I hope successfully. But I still am having a problem with this page about November 14 listing for the DIK nomination:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created/expanded_on_November_14 It doesn't call up the hooks, just lists the command. If time permits, could you take a look at it? Meanwhile, I will respond re Jeannie T Lee. I wonder if this Mathglot is the same person who was trolling?

Missing National Academy of Sciences articles
The first article in this series was Victoria Lundblad. I will mark the ones in the series NAS in the list of articles on this page.LLMHoopes (talk) 06:36, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I am still mainly working on biographical articles on women scientists, but I see that there are a lot of ladies in red among members of the National Academy of Sciences. Election to that group is a major honor awarded by the scientific peers of the candidate and thus I feel this group should be represented on Wikipedia.  Most of the ones I plan to cover are women but there are a few men.  I will only work on ones in the life sciences other than medical sciences.
