June 2020
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Virginia Cuppaidge, from its old location at User:MaryannM53/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sulfurboy (talk) 06:27, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Virginia Cuppaidge has been accepted
 Virginia Cuppaidge, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_talk/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Virginia_Cuppaidge help desk] . Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

Thanks again, and happy editing! MapleSoy (talk) 07:22, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Frances Mary Burke
Hi User:MaryannM53. I just noticed this morning that another editor has created an article on Frances Mary Burke. I suggest you visit the article and add anything you have found while researching her. The links provided on the Know my name page may also hold additional info, but the article appears quite a substantial one. I'm afraid you will have to pick another subject to write about next. Oronsay (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2020 (UTC)


 * In any case, she's not on the KMN google spreadsheet. Her name must have been added for the International Women's Day edit-a-thons held Australia wide. The Wikipedia page has yet to be updated to reflect the current focus of the project. Oronsay (talk) 21:47, 30 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Step by step I'm catching up with the history of the Frances Mary Burke article which you actually did write. I'm going to ask Kerry to look into its history as it should have shown you as the creator, not Sulfurboy who is a new page patroller. We may not be able to change it for this one, but I'd like to see you as creator of the articles you create in future! Oronsay (talk) 21:52, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Maie Casey, Baroness Casey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Frances Burke. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:46, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Frances Dolina Ellis


A tag has been placed on Frances Dolina Ellis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/134.2006/, https://www.sarjeant.org.nz/gallery/old-friends-reunited/, and https://collection.waikatomuseum.org.nz/objects/21881/landscape-with-cathedral. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Hi. I have removed the speedy deletion notice and reworded text from the 3-4 references from which text had been copied. I have also added the relevant references to the sentences or paragraphs that I reworded. I hope this will be enough to retain the article. Please ensure that you write in your own words and avoid copying and pasting unless for direct quotations. Oronsay (talk) 22:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Here's a tool you can use to check Wikipedia pages for copyright issues. Simply paste in the page title (not the url) and click submit. Identical text will be highlighted and can then be reworded. You really need to rewrite and reference as you go when creating a new article, whether in your sandbox or mainspace. You should not save/publish copy-and-paste material in your sandbox as it can be deleted from there and you may be banned. Oronsay (talk) 01:19, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Marie Hagerty
Good to see you creating another bio of an Australian woman artist. I'm sorry it took me two goes to get Marie Hagerty's name right. Please note that when using Wikidata to find additional information, you need to look at the reference provided there for the fact. It is not permitted to use Wikidata as a reference as that would be self-referencing and therefore not a reliable independent source. Oronsay (talk) 02:57, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback about the wikidata link - I had been looking at that and realised it was an external link in references but hadn't 'twigged'. Good to be reminded it is not correct.I found it really curious I couldn't find out more about her but guess I was lucky I found out the little I did putting the wrong name into Google and Trove I am so glad I can now go in and put in more information as I knew she had won awards. I am starting on Know My Name exhibition artist jeweller Mari Funaki later MaryannM53 (talk) 03:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

"Toni Hassan" listed at Redirects for discussion
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Toni Hassan. The discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 July 25 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. signed,Rosguill talk 15:00, 25 July 2021 (UTC) User:Rosguill I had a problem with the internet and was also returning to creating articles after a break, so a bit rusty. I believed I had deleted the redirect to the Misses Hampson (an article I wrote last year) in my Sandbox and entered a new article which I did in a couple of sittings and did not save as I went. I was unable to 'publish changes' so thought I was sending what was on my screen to be 'moved'. Can you or an editor with authority delete the redirect and I will go back and start again ensuring I save as I go along. MaryannM53 (talk) 00:55, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
