Kate Pullinger's Award
I tidied up the link to the award so it will go to the information section about the award. I'll give the reference a polish. There are templates when editing to format references. I find them very helpful!

Here is a link to more information: Help:adding references

If you're looking for more to edit, the section on Pullinger's "Career" could really stand some organization - specifically chronology. But, that's up to you. Let me know if I can be of any help! Wikipelli Talk  23:50, 18 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh I really want to do that! I am gathering my articles! Right now, I am just pulling together all of the pages that need updating for electronic literature authors. I have been trying to figure out the adding references, but it is difficult to follow.
 * thank you so much! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 00:02, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you just give me the source code for a good reference to a website? I see but I am not sure how the syntax should work for a website?
 * Like is it?
 * I so appreciate your help. Thank you! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 00:05, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The easiest thing is to use the Cite tool in the toolbar when you're editing. At the top of the editing window you should see a Cite button. When you click that, you'll see another set of buttons. Click "Templates" and choose the source you're using (web, book, news, etc). Then it's just a matter of filling in the boxes and the reference will be formatted for you.

For undeletion
Hello LoveElectronicLiterature, you requested undeletion of many drafts at WP:Requests for undeletion. I noticed that most were authored by User:MoleculeMoleculeMolecule. If you happen to know this user or are collaborating with them, you should disclose the connection. See WP:SHARE. Jay 💬 08:30, 21 August 2022 (UTC)


 * THank you so much! I have just retired (July 30, 2022) and one thing I have always wanted to do is accurately portray women electronic literature writers. I am going through the major references and I have a spreadsheet going. I wanted to see the drafts so that I could build on them rather than starting from scratch!
 * So hmmm... I don't know who MoleculeMoleculeMolecule is, but I left a message on their page. Would it be ok if I just worked on their drafts in my effort? Or could I just see their drafts>
 * I have been reading and following electronic literature since the early 90s. Thanks! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 13:58, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Of course, you could work on their drafts. It appears MoleculeMoleculeMolecule was last active in May 2021. Jay  💬 04:55, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. It may take me a long time, but at least I have a few spoons to work on them now! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 12:32, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, LoveElectronicLiterature, and welcome to Women in Red. It looks as if you are going to be an important contributor with your interest in women electronic writers and your related wikiproject. You could also introduce WiR to your project by posting something about it on the WiR talk page. As a new contributor, I think you will find it useful to look at some of our Essays, especially our Primer. As for identifying women to be covered, you can browse through our Redlist index. I think it would be useful for you to pave the way forward on your project by creating your first biography. You can let me know when you think the draft is ready for article space and I'll let you know how it's going. Please let me know if you run into any problems or need assistance, either with your articles or your project. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:42, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh thank you! I was hoping to start us all off a LOT smaller than a biography at first. There are 16 of us signed up so far for our monthly Third Thursday Task meetings, and we all have varying amounts of time to devote to this project. Some of us are university profs who will be explaining source citation, etc, using wikipedia tasks. We have a list of women to cover, our core members, our task list, etc. and I can email you that list. I am at clearlyconsistent AT gmail DOT com.  I had hoped we could learn about wikidata, get our 400 women electronic literature writers into the wikidata first with as much info as we know, and then start identifying the women in red to turn to blue articles.  This is the approach Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, a Wikipedia Administrator, suggested.
 * I also requested all of the draft articles we know about back as they had been inactive, but I never heard back on that one--do you know who to follow up with for those drafts? (e.g., Ana Maria Uribe, Anastasia Salter)
 * Would you or anyone else be able to guide us into small tasks at first and then big ones down the road? Or join our meetings to provide your invaluable insights? Thank you! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 14:58, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks LEL for responding so quickly and explaining your approach. I'm happy to hear you have been in touch with who is a real expert on women writers. If you feel you are not ready to embark on biographies, I have a few suggestions. I see you have been working on List of electronic literature authors, critics, and works. (BTW, if you search for List of electronic writers), you will now be redirected to it.) Using this list (and the similar Category:Electronic literature writers), you could pick out some of the women's biographies which need extra work, such as Lynda Clark (author), Kathleen McConnell, Cathy Marshall (hypertext developer), Allison Parrish and Sarah Smith (writer). On the basis of how information has been included in biographies in the list already rated C Class or higher on their talk pages, you should be able to make improvements by adding more details backed by referencing from good secondary sources. You might also be interested in working on some of the women's biographies under Category:Interactive fiction writers. Sooner or later, I think you should put together a List of electronic women writers, not just as a list of names but with basic information such as date of birth, nationality and specific interests along the lines of List of women cookbook writers or the lists under Category:Lists of women writers by nationality. As for Wikidata, I see we have  electronic literature writer (Q113663593)  in which all electronic writers on the EN wiki should be included. If you turn up Annie Abrahams and click on :WEF Person in the LH margin under Wikidata Edit, you will see details of her Wikidata person data. If you click on Profession, you will see that one of the occupations is electronic literature writer. If you follow the same procedure for Mabel Addis, you will see that ELW is not included. It can be added by clicking on + to the left of occuptation. I'm afraid I am not an expert at creating new Wikidata entries as I always use the method just explained to add an entry in connection with a biography I have just created. In my opinion, trying to tackle Wikidata for new entries is not likely to encourage people to edit on Wikipedia. I'm not sure whether these are the kinds of task you are interested in. If not, please let me know more about what you would like to do to gain experience. If ever you do get around to starting a new biography, I would be happy to help you along. Now that you have already been able to gain some basic experience on sourcing, it may be the most useful way to proceed.--Ipigott (talk) 08:58, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * In connection with the above, we now have a List of women electronic writers. It is based on those who are already covered by biographies in the English Wikipedia but could be extended to those in other language versions and those supported by good secondary sources. Perhaps you and your colleagues could check it through for accuracy. Any new biographies of women involved in electronic writing should be added to the list.--Ipigott (talk) 06:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! We will spend our first Thursday going through this list. We will keep a spreadsheet with basic information (birth, nationality, works, education) going on our own and then add that to wikidata. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 16:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I think most of our other 300+ women electronic literature writers do not have published articles. We are working on developing those articles in a shared google doc so that we can ensure accurate and objective information as we get articles going. We anticipate that this will take a few years. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 16:58, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * For a project of this type, it is quite reasonable to suppose it will take a few years to incorporate some 300 biographies. It would nevertheless be useful if you could keep us informed of some of those who seem to be backed by sufficient sources at the moment. Adding one or two new biographies a month would keep things moving. For me, Google docs is not ideal as I am not a member of Google. Why not begin to develop a redlist as part of your project. This is the way most wikiprojects have managed to encourage support. We can then also use appropriate wiki tools to investigate redlinked names. Initially, you could for example aim at including ten significant names a month. I see by the way that there is already a list of potentially interesting names at the draft is preparing on New Media Writing Prize. I could begin to look through these myself and select a few for development.--Ipigott (talk) 06:41, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, Lskains is part of our project and she just did that draft article this week. What wiki tools should we use to upload the names we have on our spreadsheet into wikidata so far?  We do not have the birth, death, works done yet. Just the names. Maybe it would be easier to upload all of those names into wikidata as red links and then add the property info as we get it?  I've been going through wikidata and I just don't get how to put in the new articles. Will I need to search each name and then add to wikidata? I tried to add Agnieszka Przybyszewska, but I did not see where to add her language (Polish) or her statements? Thank you for your patience with us :) LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 14:42, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * As I said earlier, I really do not think Wikidata is the best place to start. It's not easy to edit unless the person involved already has an article in which case you can use the gadget. I cannot advise you how to add info on Agnieszka Przybyszewska unless you first start an article. Our Wikidata expert may be able to help. I have nevertheless made a quick search on her name and see she is still an assistant professor. That might be a problem for the acceptance of her biography unless her work is supported by awards or critical assessments. What I would suggest is that you start your own crowd-sourced list in the format used by WikiProject Women writers/Missing articles. You could for example call it WikiProject Women writers/Women electronic literature writers/Missing articles. You could list Agnieszka Przybyszewska with a reference to elmcip. Others might then be able to add other useful sources, date and place of birth, etc. If you could start a list of ten or so, the rest of us could no doubt add to it. One we have a red-listed name, we can then carry out searches to see if the person is mentioned in existing articles, in other language versions of Wikipedia, or in reliable sources such as JSTOR. Thanks to, I've written a short biography of Amira Hanafi which could no doubt be expanded.--Ipigott (talk) 17:02, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

For the project meeting on 15 September

 * Your colleagues might be interested to know that we now have a List of women electronic writers which includes a few new names. It would be useful if the list could be checked for accuracy. If you do not want to edit it yourselves, just let me know what needs to be changed. One of my problems in expanding the list is that I do not know to what extent women involved in digital art and digital games should be added to the list. I've listed some candidates for inclusion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women writers/Women electronic literature writers. Please let me know if they are suitable or not.

I would also very much like to have access to your list of 400 women in electronic literature. Ideally it should be made available as a project page but if not a web link would be useful. It would also be good to try to develop a shorter list based on names with links to at least three reliable independent sources, especially critical assessments, background on awards, or coverage in the press. On this basis, some of us would no doubt be able to start creating more biographies or at least providing feedback on what else is required.

I hope the meeting goes well. Please let me know if you think I can help with any of the difficulties you encounter. I would be happy to assist anyone who wishes to become an editor.--Ipigott (talk) 06:29, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, our list of women is at tiny url dot com slash welwbrain and our drafting doc is at tiny url dot com slash welwwrite. My email is at clearlyconsistent at g mail dot com.  We have an odd difficulty at the moment--we want to upload images of screenshots from works. But these images need to be uploaded by the original author of the work so that we follow all creative commons, copyright issues, right? So if the author uploads her own work and says it is ok to use as a creative commons image then is it ok for one of the other editors (not the original author) to upload that image to the notable person's page or to wikidata? This does seem like a catch-22? Thank you so much! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 13:38, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for these details. I'm afraid I cannot access your lists. Perhaps you need to be a member of Google to do so. If you need help with your lists, it would be far better to develop them on Wikipedia, possibly in connection with your project. Names should be supported by at least one good independent secondary source (ideally three).


 * I'm not very familiar with all the copyright procedures on Commons but there should certainly be no problems if the creator of the image uploads it. If someone else does it on their behalf, then I believe the creator is required to confirm to Commons that the image is in an appropriate Creative Commons category. See also Commons Licensing. Maybe can offer further explanations.--Ipigott (talk) 06:43, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yep, we are getting image creators and writers to upload their materials. This will be a long-term effort. I did try to add two people to wikidata, but bovlb took them down as not being noteworthy, so I have to write their biographies before doing anything with wikidata as well.

Hello, LoveElectronicLiterature. I noticed that your recent edit to Jaron Lanier added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. An external link, even to Commons, will not display an image. Sumanuil. 18:31, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, I took this image as a screenshot from Jaron's talk at the Future of Text Symposium, where we all agreed to be recorded. Please let me know exactly why this is not allowed? Thank you. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 08:42, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Progress on electronic literature
First of all, I'm glad to see you are active once again, Deena, and have arranged a zoom meeting on on the 22nd. That should indeed prove useful in drawing attention to the new wikiproject. It's good to see you have added a link to the digitally accessible Electronic Literature Collection on Electronic literature. Thanks to the efforts of, the article has now been promoted to GA. One of the suggestions I have for the evolving wp:Elit page is to include a fairly short list (say up to 20 items) of deserving authors (both men and women) and titles of works which deserve articles. It would help (but not essential) if up to three reliable secondary sources could be included for each item to help contributors along. But if you and your colleagues can provide suggestions, I can look for sources. I know there are many, many more which could be included but if we can post a fairly short list (which can be updated from time to time) those participating in the project will have something concrete to work on. If there's anything else you think I could help with, just let me know. It's always exciting to help a wikiproject along in its early stages.--Ipigott (talk) 07:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all your help, @Ipigott! Deena, would it be OK if we made a Wikipedia version of the list that is currently in Google Docs? I don't have access to the doc, though. Lijil (talk) 09:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't have access to that list either and have no idea how long it is.--Ipigott (talk) 09:57, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * We have a list of 400 plus folks on our spreadsheet at tinyurl.com/welwspread, but what I can do is create a much smaller list on the Electronic Literature project? And just caveat it? LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 00:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @lpigott I have resurrected old drafts and have added to them so they all have citations with reliable secondary sources. I can work on creating a list of deserving authors and works as well. A list of Coover awards is now up on that list page.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Electronic_literature/List_of_missing_articles_about_electronic_literature

Your recent electronic literature biographies
Hi there, LoveElectronicLiterature, and thanks for all your recent biographies of women in electronic literature. I've reviewed and assessed them all, done a bit of copy editing and wikilinking, added authority control, sort and categories, and included them in the relevant lists. Although in general you include pertinent sources, you should make sure each paragraph contains at least one source, preferably at the end. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:01, 26 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much @Ipigott! I'll remove them from the request to review. You are amazing, and I am learning. If sources have different information, should those go at the keyword for that info or should all the sources go to the end of the paragraph? LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 17:25, 26 February 2024 (UTC)


 * References should be included where necessary, just as you have been using them up to now. It is nevertheless important to make sure that every paragraph has at least one reference. Reviewers often tag articles if they discover there are paragraphs without citations. If they are included at the end of a paragraph they are easy to identify. If necessary, the same sources may of course be referenced again and again. Let me know if you run into any difficulties. Happy editing.--Ipigott (talk) 07:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Placing cites at the end of each sentence is also common. Citing keywords is much rarer, but can be done when needed. For example, citing each country in a list of countries. – Novem Linguae (talk) 11:44, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Jo-Anne Green
I tried to comply with your request on my talk page by moving Jo-Anne Green to article space as quickly as possible. I had hoped you would follow up with my request for more citations over the following hours but that has not been the case. As a result, I have had to draw attention to the missing citations in the hope that they will be added soon. I see that has also faced problems by including her CV on her user page. It would therefore be useful to sort things out as soon as possible, perhaps with her assistance. I'm sorry you are encountering these problems but there are strict rules attached to the biographies of living people. Happy editing.--Ipigott (talk) 16:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Mark Bernstein (publisher) moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Mark Bernstein (publisher). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''I note your request on the talk page to move to draft, as you don't think that it's ready yet. That seems like a very reasonable plan!'''. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Klbrain (talk) 14:27, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, thank you. @KlbrainKlbrain, if I link other articles to this draft space, will that work? I am working on other articles in this field, and we do need to refer to the correct Mark Bernstein. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 17:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Technically you can link to Draft:Mark Bernstein (publisher), but in article space it's best to link using Mark Bernstein (publisher), then once the article is ready it can be moved from draft to that title. Klbrain (talk) 18:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 * In connection with this and your comments on the draft's talk page, LEL, I've tidied up your Metagaming draft and moved it to Metagaming (book). Please check it through carefully and make sure my edits have not brought about any unintented changes in meaning. As for your three drafts which have not been found sufficiently notable, I think the problem may have something to do with the way they are presented. I'm rather busy at the moment but if you could send me links to the drafts, I might be able to bring them up to standard over the next week or two. I think part of the problem is a result of including primary links in the lead. In future, rather than submitting drafts to AfC I suggest you let me know when you have completed a draft biography. In some cases, a few minor improvements are all that's needed. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ipigott, you are amazing. Am I allowed to say that? LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 19:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

 * @Ipigottsorry, I have been swamped on work deadlines. But yes, I do want to get back to these. The last wikipedia athon was working in Indian languages. We are focusing for a moment on translating the electronic literature article into Hindi, etc. so that we can share notable developments in Indian Elit. But yes, I will ping you from now on! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 14:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. I had a good Indian friend when I was a student and learnt a bit of Hindi at the time but I'm afraid it's not good enough to help you with translation.--Ipigott (talk) 14:26, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Ipigott I am working on Daniela Cortez Maduro this morning. We can delete it if this is not notable enough.
 * If you know of any Wikipedia editors in other languages, I would love to ask them to join the project and translate the main article Electronic Literature into their language... LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 21:49, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Add a link at English Wikipedia
Hello LoveElectronicLiterature

In a previous discussion you showed some interest regarding Growth Add a link feature. Hence, I'm sharing with you the recent post we wrote about it, as it will soon be available at English Wikipedia.

In short, this feature allows newcomers to discover that they can edit Wikipedia, by adding missing suggested links to existing articles in a guided way. It is also an excellent way to get more easy tasks newcomers can work on, as only a handful of easy tasks are available for them at the moment.

Let me know if you have any question or thoughts about this feature. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:56, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
