Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/African American scientists and technicians on the Manhattan Project at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with db-g7, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 01:38, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Photo request
Hi Mary, I have a time-sensitive photo request that I was wondering if you could pass on to other Philadelphia-area editors. The owner of the Spring Garden Street station building is planning to demolish it despite the efforts of preservation groups. They filed permits today, meaning it may have just weeks left unless there is governmental intervention. Commons only has a single photo of the station; if someone is able to get more, I would be endlessly appreciative. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:28, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Flying Arts School
Thank you, Mary. I just had an email from Wikipedia. Where can I read what you have written about FAS?--Enoneo (talk) 04:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Flying Arts School
It was so interesting, your page on the Australian Flying Arts School. Thank you. When Wikipedia researchers were bringing my own page up-to-date, the reference that I had attended and exhibited with the FAS just knocked me out - "how could they know that?" I wondered. Now, you have honoured Mervyn Moriarty - an honour richly deserved. Can't keep the smile off my face.--Enoneo (talk) 23:31, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Review?
Hi, Mary Mark, You had offered to review at my first article. Is the offer still open? I would appreciate your advice. Thank you, ArtLover113 (talk) 22:08, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

My apologies,, I had a very busy week so I'm glad you've tagged me again. I will try to take a look at it over the weekend. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 22:28, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Fixed your talk page archiving
Hi! I took the liberty of fixing the auto-archiving settings at the top of this page. I've also removed the archiving configuration from your /sandbox page, to prevent it from showing up in Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage. --rchard2scout (talk) 09:30, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Atom Scientists
Hello Mary Mark Ockerbloom, I was wondering if you could help me with something? I am working on a project to make sure that women scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project are well represented on Wikipedia, and I came across your uploads from June of 2020. Could you possibly direct me to where the September 1949 issue of Ebony might be available? I have looked through the Science History Institute's online archives with no luck. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! Dont trap anna (talk) 21:23, 7 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I was able to get the images with the help of the librarian at the Science History Institute, but I'm no longer the Wikipedian in Residence there, and don't have access to the files they found for me. I did include the text relating to each person into the description for that person along with the image files on Commons; as I recall there wasn't a lot of other material in the article. Best wishes.  It is a challenge to find more info on the women. MaryMO (AR) (talk) 20:43, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

A new article on a living Irish scientist
Hello Mary,

I am writing to ask your advice and possibly assistance. I want to create a new article about a living person. He is Professor John Nolan from the Waterford Institute of Technology in Ireland. He is a colleague of Aron Barbey and I saw that you did quite a bit of editing on the wikipedia page for him.

I've only created three Wikipedia articles. When I spoke with Professor Nolan today and suggested he look at Prof. Barbey's page to get an idea of the type of content required. He asked me who put that page together and I found your name. He then asked whether you might help create article for him? Or perhaps mentor me in creating it?

If you are able to help then perhaps we could schedule a video call to discuss this?

Prof Nolan is in Ireland and I am in Oxford, England.

best regards Tom Tomp-uk (talk) 16:58, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I am on holidays right now, but I can give you at least a quick response.
 * First, good news: as John Nolan holds a named chair (the Howard Chair in Human Nutrition) he qualifies under Wikipedia's notability guidelines for creation of a Wikipedia article.
 * Second, a caution: it's not considered a good idea to be closely associated with someone you write about on Wikipedia, as the goal is to be unbiased in what you write.
 * Third, for the same reason, it's essential to find independent sources, such as books, news articles, or review articles, that are not written by the person or someone close to them. Try searching google with "books" or "news" selected (look under the "More" setting) to see if you can find third-party publications; or for review articles or other articles that discuss Dr. Nolan's work. If he has received awards (like the named chair), the organizations giving the award will often publish an announcement that summarizes why his work is significant.
 * I recommend starting an article in your sandbox and having at least 5 solid independent sources that discuss Dr. Nolan and his work. It shouldn't read like a resume, and all the information needs to be cited.  Rephrase what the sources say.
 * I will be back in December, so if you want to start something in a sandbox, I can potentially give you feedback then. I am happy to help people put more information about scientists online!  I also co-host a monthly WikiSalon where you can ask questions and get feedback (though the time shift might be awkward for you.) Best wishes, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 21:05, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Mary. I will start something and then get back to you. Kind regards. Tom Tomp-uk (talk) 10:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
