Women in Science Edit-a-thon
Hi. I am organizing an edit-a-thon on women in science at the University of Oklahoma on March 27th. I've noticed that you have already been active on several pages of interest, and wondered if you would have any advice for us in terms of women whose sites need improvement and resources on them. I am a lecturer in the History of Science Department, so I am interested in improving the entries on more historical figures, but for the event we are also trying to include recent and current women. I would appreciate any advice you might have and would be happy to have you as an online participant. Thanks, Kirwanfan (talk) 14:59, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Invite the president!
Kimberly Wright Cassidy is the new president of Bryn Mawr College. I have started a Draft Kimberly Wright Cassidy article. I suggest that someone should invite her to visit our event next week. This will give us an opportunity to get a photo unhampered by copyright restrictions, and we can get input from her on the article about her. I have made changes and improvements on all the previous Bryn Mawr presidents articles, especially the talk pages. What do you think of this invitation?--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:12, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Adding page numbers to citations
Thank you for your extensive improvements to the article Arnold Orville Beckman. You make very extensive use of the book Arnold O. Beckman : one hundred years of excellence in your citations, which is not a problem. I also noticed in the hidden Wikisource that you foresightedly took the trouble to preserve the cited page numbers, which would greatly improve the usefulness of the cites. I would like to point out a technique used in Wikipedia to expose the page numbers, without triggering an absurdly large number of nearly-identical full citations. The abbreviated format is described at Template:Rp, which was designed specifically to handle this problem.

The hidden page refs could be converted to useful but non-distracting superscripted page numbers by using this template, and the conversion editing process would be relatively straightforward. I hope this information is helpful, and look forward to seeing your further work. Cheers! Reify-tech (talk) 16:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the great suggestion. I hadn't seen a way to add page numbers to a multiply-cited reference that didn't seem ugly, so I'm glad to find that there's a better way to do it.  The conversion was pleasantly easy.  Have a great day! Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 18:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The article looks still better every time I see it. Also, you've been finding some great images that really show beautifully the abstract-sounding technical artifacts under discussion. If you find more useful images than can fit vertically alongside the text, you can set up a Template:Gallery.  If needed, I can lend help with that. Keep up the good work!

Ada Hitchins
Thank you very much for your fine efforts on Ada Hitchins, taking my very small start to class=C. You can see that I have done more work on the article and talk page. I removed the orphan tag, after adding two ==See also== entries to related articles. In both cases, she should be explicitly mentioned in the text. --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:53, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Otto Haas
I am creating an article on Otto Haas, co-founder of Rohm and Haas, and I will need images of him in WikiMedia Commons. Please have CHF contribute images of him. Feel free to send me more information about him. (I left this message for Jeff, but perhaps you can help me.)--DThomsen8 (talk) 14:20, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I've asked the archivist to see what we have that can be released on Commons. Also, you might be interested in the article on Otto's wife, Phoebe Waterman Haas. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 17:18, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

CHF talk at WikiConUSA
Very interesting talk at WikiConUSA today about CHF. I've been meaning to get involved with the WikiProject Philadelphia meetups and GLAM Café meetups, maybe I'll go to the one on June 10th! -Newyorkadam (talk) 20:04, 31 May 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam

Wiki Loves Pride 2014
Hi Mary! I'm really looking forward to the GLAM Day Out. Thank you for scheduling a Wiki Loves Pride edit-a-thon as one of the days events. At WikiConference USA, we held a Un-conference session discussing the future of WikiLGBT and made plans to create a list of founding members and begin the process of applying for Usergroup status. We have already had more than the 3 person minimum to form a usergroup, but would also welcome your support were you interested in helping form this Usergroup. meta:Talk:Wikimedia LGBT/Portal See you soon! OR drohowa (talk) 17:51, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Mary, thank you for supporting this month's Wiki Loves Pride campaign. You went above and beyond with the event you hosted in Philadelphia. Also, thank you for adding the results of the event to the Wiki Loves Pride Results page. If you want to add a short blurb under the Philadelphia section towards the top, that would be wonderful, otherwise I can try to put a short report together from afar. Please know how much your assistance is appreciated. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:44, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Gleason
Thanks so much for helping on Jean Berko Gleason. It's been a real adventure as you can see. I still have a few corrections that I received from psycholinguists by email -- it takes a lot of concentration to integrate them, but I hope you'll be able to give the article a good readthrough when I'm done, which I hope will be in the next 24-48 hours. Article could also use a lot more wikilinking. EEng (talk) 06:31, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Pigsonthewing at Royal Society of Chemistry
MMO,

Not sure if you've run into this news, but User:Pigsonthewing will be serving as WiR at the Royal Society of Chemistry. I'll suggest that you and he discuss possible joint projects, or at least how not to get in each other's way.

As always,

Editathon at Chemical Heritage Foundation
Hi Mary Mark, Greetings! My name is María, I am community liaison of Learning & Evaluation team at Wikimedia Foundation. A few weeks ago, we launched Round II of Data Collection, an initiative that started last year and seeks to collect data of all Wikimedia programs, all over the world. We want to be able to build a bird's eye view of programs, and for that, we need program and project leaders help. I write to you know regarding the editathon you coordinated at the Chemical Heritage Foundation, on Sept 27, 2013, in Philadelphia. I mined some data you published on the event page, but I still have some questions. Could you please get back to me about this on my talk page? Thanks for your time!

Soliciting Feedback for Art+Feminism grants
Hi Mary Mark Ockerbloom, we are laying plans for the 2015 Art+Feminism editathon. As part of this process we have written two linked PEG and IEG grants. We have given extensive community notice, but haven’t generated substantial feedback. As one of the Satellite Event organizers we would really like your feedback, comments and questions, and if you support the grants, your endorsement of one or both of them. Additionally, we have confirmed International Women's Day, March 8th 2015 as the date of the international editathon. We hope you will be able to participate, as an organizer, facilitator, or participant. On behalf of my co-organizers. --Theredproject (talk) 21:19, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia instruction books
Here are the two best books to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia:
 * is a how-to reference for using and contributing to Wikipedia, targeted at "students, professors, and everyday experts and fans". It offers specific sections for teachers, reusers, and researchers.


 * is a how-to guide that explains the process of contributing to Wikipedia.

These two books should be in the CHF library.--DThomsen8 (talk) 20:00, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

I am looking
for a good source to document that Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's Fountain of El Dorado ended up in Lima, Peru ? The best I can do is talk about its "deteriorating condition" while still in California. It is an interesting work, I have several good descriptions of it from that time (1915ish) so might do a short stub on it. But I wish to settle the Peru Connection (sounds like the New Jason Bourne book) before trying it. So any ideas are welcome, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:06, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll keep an eye out for anything I can find as I go through the page, check information, and add citations. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 17:31, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I did just find this in the Archives of American Art, "Three Figure Fountain (Replica of Whitney Fountain, Lima, Peru), 1922-1924" which is good enough for me to figure whoever the reference is by got his or her Whitney fountains mixed up. I'm going to cut & paste it to the talk page. Carptrash (talk) 18:35, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
