Participation in A+F Editathon
Hi Mary. I learned from this news article that you are co-hosting an editathon on 2 March (tomorrow). I have a family function later in the day, but may be able to stop by as I would be happy to participate. Does the upcoming event have a list of planned participants? SamHolt6 (talk) 00:07, 2 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, We don't have a list of participants, but from Wikipedia:Meetup/Philadelphia you can find links for the event's Dashboard Check In, and a general List of tasks. We will likely have more suggestions on site, and the librarians from the PMA Library where the event is being held, in the Perelman Buildings at 2525 Pennsylvania Ave, will help find resources.  I hope to see you there!  There will also be events at the Fisher Art Library at UPENN in April. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:03, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Copyright law in Canada questions
Hi there! I see you have recently been editing Copyright law of Canada. I have been assigned to do some edits on Canadian copyright and related topics for a class on government information. Do you have any suggestions for areas that could use some attention? Any advice is appreciated! Edasi088 (talk) 00:23, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * There are certainly potential changes in legislation that need to be kept up to date -- I ended up editing the page because I was checking copyright status of a work and realized the page's information had fallen out of date and was somewhat misleading. I would recommend following  Michael Geist who has a blog and discusses Canadian copyright review and  legal issues.  Unless he's one of your professors, his page could use some work too, converting external links in text into inline citations.  If you're new to Wikipedia, I suggest starting by checking the existing sources cited, confirming that they support the statements made, and updating any dead links or bad information. Happy editing!

Marie Ozanne
Marie Ozanne article was a contribution to aWomen in Red effort in March. I could not figure out to show it on the effort page. Should I have some indication of WIR on the talk page/


 * Hi Dave, I added on her talk page, and then clicked on the #1day1woman initiative hashtag that was displayed as a result, and added her to the list of new articles  by adding


 * 1) 🇬🇬 Marie Ozanne to April. I added a note to indicate that the article actually appeared in March, but was not added to list then. They can move it once they've responded to it, if they want to.

A bit of help?
Hi Mary,

Remember last week I was saying how I haven't succeeded in finding any women's bios to write? Well, I found 1 Sonja Hoel Perkins and think it is almost undelete-able. But I'll be out-of-touch for the weekend. A bit of help would go a long way. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 03:59, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delighted to help! If you get a chance, can you look over Mary C. Tanner and Frederick Frank (businessman)? Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:46, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Both look good with the once over, but I'll be on it in detail tomorrow. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 15:34, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Help

 * Maybe tell me how to do that.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 18:53, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * My apologies, this message was on my user page so I missed seeing it until now. I think you could just add the information after her name, in the list of Adherents, and cite your source. I hope you are well! Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 17:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Gao Xiaoxia
Hi there, thanks for creating the nice article Gao Xiaoxia! As you already saw, I've nominated it for DYK. By coincidence, I saw an obituary of the scientist Li Hengde and decided to create an article about him, and realized that he finished his Ph.D. and got caught by the ban! -Zanhe (talk) 19:27, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Part of this series
This is part of the inventor series, and I might write this up, but he is not the person I was talking about. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 18:14, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

This is what I was looking for. I'm certain that there are 3-4 sources that say similar things.

The entire series is here.

Smallbones( smalltalk ) 21:38, 8 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, Some of the blog pages give a fairly extensive summary of her life. I would use one or two of those summaries as quick outlines for the structure of the article, but the citations I would rely on to establish notability would be the books.  She is mentioned pretty frequently in discussions of patent history, and also gets mentioned in articles of her time in places like Scientific American. That only 77 patents were issued to women between 1790 and 1860 establishes an important context for her contributions given that she held what, 7?  Given the breadth of possible published sources over time, I think a solid article could be put together about her. Great series on inventors, BTW, I will have to come back to it! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.  Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 13:45, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Women of '69, Unboxed
I'm not sure why that source says she is just an executive producer, but two of the sources say filmmaker and the DVD case I have listed her as a director. SL93 (talk) 01:58, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * In that case, my advice is to change it back and cite the sources for that information that you consider to be getting it right, rather than the one that doesn't. (VERY COOL ARTICLE BTW) Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 02:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Please see Yola Letellier
Probably the most over-referenced article I've ever put together. One of the most bizarre, in its own way. Those royals! One problem though - I can't stop calling her by her 1st name. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 12:56, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Fun! The pronouns in the following sentence, however, leave me totally confused :-) "Mary Jayne Gold, a close friend she met skiing in Davos, introduced her to her lover Etienne de Horthy." Did Etienne love them both?
 * On vacation for a few more days, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:08, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Just Yola and Istvan. I'll change it. Enjoy your vacation. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 14:19, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I realize that I'm breaking every rule in the feminist book here, e.g. defining a famous woman by her relationships, but somehow this seems the way to go for this subject. See Henri Tellier if you read French (Google translate is fine). And see "Monats" for some very nice pix, especially see her bathroom, you may not recognize it - it's the room that looks like a football field. Do you read German (Google translate doesn't work there).  I'm thinking a double DYK for individual articles on Yola Letellier and Henri Letellier. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 21:03, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * , if you want to nominate both, do they both have to be created within a week of the nomination date? Yola is about to hit one week out -- if the date can be based on the newer article of the two, there's no problem. Otherwise you might want to nominate her now and make a note that you're working on the second article. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 19:18, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Also,, I just reviewed a DYK for Nora Houston, and found this 1907 self-portrait - am I right that it qualifies for commons as public domain by pre-1923 standards? Want to release it if so? Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 18:52, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * My first question - is it really 1907? I just looks odd to me.
 * But the second set of questions would probably overcome any pre-1923 objection. Was it displayed before 1923? (likely) . Is there a copyright notice? (highly unlikely) Was it displayed  publicly without a copyright notice before 1978? (almost certain from the information in the Richmond article).  I'd say it's PD, but those Commons admins sometimes don't agree with me!  BTW Yola is an interesting article to me and I could see a DYK, Henri doesn't interest me much, only the novelty of getting a double DYK.  Smallbones( smalltalk ) 19:38, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * In that case, do you want me to start a DYK nomination for her? Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 19:47, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That would be wonderful! I know I should do it, but I'm supposed to be concentrating on the next Signpost and can't get around all the distractions. :) . Smallbones( smalltalk ) 20:00, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Pennsylvania is not an original, founding state.
According to an editor who says so. Please look at the last entry of my talk page for his challange to my revert. Look at it, and the history of Pennsylvania, and give me advice, right there.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 20:43, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * My apologies for this conversation carrying over onto your User talk page; I had hoped would simply begin a dialogue with me regarding his revert of my edit (which I had initiated on his talk page). I wasn't expecting that he would involve another editor on what should be a relatively simple matter to resolve. I did feel the need to respond here because Mr. Thomsen's comments phrasing above is not quite accurate. My good faith edit was made for the sake of accuracy of the article about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (title: "Pennsylvania"). I changed the existing text in the first sentence of the lede's third paragraph from "The state is one of the 13 original founding states of the United States" to "The state is one of the original Thirteen Colonies of the United States." In hindsight, I probably should have refined the phrasing further so that the sentence more closely matches the Thirteen Colonies article, "It was one of the original Thirteen Colonies of Great Britain on the Atlantic coast of America which declared independence in 1776 and formed the United States of America." I'm not quite sure why a prior editor felt the need to change "Thirteen Colonies" to "13 original founding states" because it was that change which injected an unnecessary lack of clarity (and one might say error) into an important article. I was simply trying to correct it that so that the article no longer implies that Pennsylvania was a state when it was still a colony. Again, my apologies, Mary Mark Ockerbloom, if this is not the appropriate place to discuss this issue. If Dthomsen8 agrees to the new wording that I'm proposing, perhaps we can make the change and then let the matter drop? Kind Regards. 47thPennVols (talk) 21:57, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

RFPP Decline
Hi there :)

I just declined your page protection request, but thought I'd expand a little on my very short summary on the page.

Firstly, you mentioned you hadn't requested a block before, but I'm assuming you mean a page protection, or were you requesting one of the IP editors be blocked? Sorry if misinterpreted.

For articles, RFPP only protects them if they're currently or very recently going through disruption. Other than your own there haven't been any edits in 6 weeks or so, so the page seems to have settled a bit without more aggressive methods.

You're right about there being a couple of IP editor issues going on - one issue is the addition of some promotional edits, the other is some dispute about the primary thing Barbey is known for. If the former flared up then protection would be one way of dealing with it, though if it was just 1 editor asking an admin to have a look at blocking them would also be a possible method. For the edit war, an initial effort at nudging them to the Talk Page would probably be worthwhile, though if they got out of control then again page protection would be fine.

In terms of the formatting of the request (I don't know if you did it manually or with Twinkle) was fine.

Hopefully the page will stay reasonably controlled and you should be able to edit without issues - please feel free to drop me a line if something flares up and you'd like another pair of eyes.
