Disambiguation link notification for March 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Ways to improve Cheryl l'Hirondelle
Hi, I'm Yadáyiⁿga. LadyBarbarella, thanks for creating Cheryl l'Hirondelle!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thank you for creating this article. It would be very helpful if you could add more references to the 'life' section, and categories to the page. Please do reach out if you need any help doing that.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Yadáyiⁿga (talk) 02:08, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Event page
Hello, thanks for creating this page! I hope this event goes well. Just a recommendation - when you create an event like this, it's best to add categories for the event so it can be tracked (I've done this), and add it to the calendar and template. This allows people to find and track it, and also will likely increase the likelihood of remote support from experienced contributors who can correct mistakes on pages created and give feedback to new contributors. Hope this is helpful to you, let me know if any thoughts or questions. Blythwood (talk) 00:23, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

IA Summit, Vancouver
Hi LadyBarbarella,

The 2017 Information Architecture Summit team is in Vancouver next month. We are planning a Wikipedia session on diversity and would like to invite local members of the Wikimedia Vancouver Meetup to participate. I am a member of the Wikimedia NYC chapter. I noticed that you are hosting a Art+Feminism event in March and was wondering if you had advice about motivating the local editors to help out. I have also invited some of the UBC and Simon Fraser folks who attended the Women in Science editathon last Fall.

The IA Summit is an annual conference of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). It will be held at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver on March 22-26. We have two Wikipedia sessions planned. One on Saturday afternoon, March 25, will align with the theme of diversity in information architecture and UX design. It is tentatively scheduled for 3:30pm. We are still adjusting the schedule. We plan to invite speakers studying knowledge organization and information behavior in diverse populations. The Wikipedia Session will cover efforts by The Wikimedia Foundation to improve the creation and discovery of content about underrepresented groups. I'll be talking about Women in Red, Art+Feminism, Wiki Loves Pride and AfroCROWD and will introduce Project: Information Architecture. I thought it would be nice if someone from Wikimedia Vancouver were available to present the results of the Art+Feminism or Women in Science event this past Fall.

On Sunday, March 26, we will host a lunch session that will be a more traditional Wikipedia editathon. This will give attendees an opportunity to learn about editing, tools that may be useful to Information architects and knowledge professionals and also be a way to make a meaningful contribution to the encyclopedia.

Student volunteers and facilitators would be welcome to attend these sessions or help out at the Wikipedia table in the exhibit hall. A separate conference pass would not be required to help out.

If there are others you think might be interested, please let me know. We are also still seeking brief lightning talks on diversity and discovery.

Speedy deletion nomination of LadyBarbarella/sandbox
Hello LadyBarbarella,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged LadyBarbarella/sandbox for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Lyse Lemieux (artist).

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Ways to improve Lyse Lemieux (artist)
Hi, I'm Mduvekot. LadyBarbarella, thanks for creating Lyse Lemieux (artist)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please rewrite the sections that are too close to the phrasing in http://www.straight.com/arts/698241/lyse-lemieux-girls-gotta-do-what-girls-gotta-do-shapes-new-meaning-ovoid and http://www.straight.com/article-831806/vancouver/lyse-lemieuxs-new-work-has-profound-feeling-human-body. For example: the diptychs she has created out of disjunct parts are reminiscent of the surrealist practice of “Exquisite Corpse” and lopsided ovals to suggest either human heads or bodies, part of an experimental drawing practice that dodges between abstraction and figuration. Also, provide sources for the biography paragraph and remove the external links in the body of the text. You can use footnotes instead.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Your March editathon
As you are arranging an editathon on March 9, you might be interested in Women in Red's plans for Women's History Month. We have also developed Ten Simple Rules for new editors interested in creating biographies, which might be useful.

You passed this??? What makes you think the refs are RS? Johnbod (talk) 04:17, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * LadyB, you seem to have moved a number of more or less unsuitable drafts to mainspace. Duan Yingmei contained a large-scale copyright violation, which I've removed; I've also moved it back to draft space. I'm thinking of doing the same with some of the others such as the one above and Jiang Jie (artist), which appears to be a raw translation of a Chinese-language source ("Her use of inflants is said to be inspired by Jiang Jie's sympathy"??). Is there any reason why I should not do that? In draft space these pages will not be subject to immediate deletion, and perhaps the people who wrote them will be able to bring them to the point where they can be understood, and where notability of the subjects is demonstrated.
 * May I draw your attention to what it says here: "PLEASE NOTE: Editors whose usernames are not on the list are strongly cautioned not to review AfC submissions", and suggest that you stop doing that? If you'd like to be an AfC reviewer, please make a request here.
 * Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
