Anarchism
Hi Sparkledriver,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 07:20, 15 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hey there, sorry I took so long to reply, I've been laser-focused on completing my work on Mujeres Libres this past week! Thanks for bringing to my attention the WikiProject, I would definitely be interested in participating in it, so thank you for providing these links!


 * One thing I was wondering about was how I would go about getting Mujeres Libres reassessed in terms of quality following the work I've done on it, and what steps I should pursue? There are a lot of different categories of article and I've never been through such a process for any WikiProject before. I don't expect the rating to be amazing but I also don't think that it is a C-class article any more, so if you could point me in the right direction for that it would be greatly appreciated :) Sparkledriver (talk) 18:13, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Great! Anyone can reassess a page by editing the talk page. Per Content assessment, usually B-class would denote a mostly complete article, meaning that it covers the gist of what a reader would want to know in sufficient depth. When I assess for B-class, I look for whether each of the article's sections are full or whether more details are missing from each. Another option is to consolidate section headings. Articles ready for B-class are typically ready for a Good Article peer review, if you'd eventually be interested in that. Let me know if I can help with anything!
 * Also, if easier, I prefer to use sfn footnotes instead of r (with page numbers) so that the page numbers are relegated to the footnotes rather than the article text itself. E.g., see The May Pamphlet. Happy editing, czar  20:45, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
