Research Project
Hi Stinglehammer I'm an anthropology student doing an online research project on wikipedians and their motivations and ideals for writing and editing wikipedia pages. I was wondering if you would be interested in answering a few questions I have - sort of like a small online interview.

Hi Stinglehammer - many thanks for hosting the WiR event earlier this week! I've had another go at a new page and have published one on Frances Murray (suffragist). I found quite a lot but since this is only my second entry I'd appreciate any feedback! --Louise WIR (talk) 17:36, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Stinglehammer

Published page on Emily Blathwayt, but maybe linked to the sandbox rather than properly published, any help welcome. I have put in some reverse links biography pages mentioned in the article created. hope this is ok

Kaybeesquared (talk) 13:38, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Stinglehammer

Almost completed a page on Emily Blathwayt, it is in my sandbox. Will try to complete over the next couple of days - and even upload if I can.. Happy Easter

HI Stinglehammer

Help! someone has added the picture to my new page on Agnes Husband (the one I have asked permission for) but I don't know if it was the museum/gallery who owns the copyright or who did it?

If they check on Monday they may think it was me and pursue breach of copyright (ugh?)!

Kaybeesquared (talk) 16:44, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

HI Stinglehammer Thank you for yesterday's session and help with page on Agnes Husband Your training and guidance were invaluable. You kindly offered to give me wording to write to institutions to request use of images to enhance the page. I would appreciate that advice. --Kaybeesquared (talk) 12:18, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Spy week activities
Thanks, Ewan, for all your efforts in connection with Spy Week. I see from here that quite a few people participated in your event. They also appear to have created a few more articles than the one posted under your "Outcomes". I have also added a link under your Outcomes to the WiR page listing articles created or improved during the WiR Women in Espionage virtual event which is continuing for a few more days. If you still have contacts with your participants, please inform them they are very welcome to continue their efforts under our Espionage editathon or join in any of the other virtual editathons under Women in Red, including Women Writers which is continuing until the end of the month. I, for one, will be happy to assist you and the newer participants if any of you run into any difficulties.--Ipigott (talk) 09:48, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

 * From the Recruiter's Desk at The Signpost (yes, I wear that hat, too)... Hi Ewan, . Please consider writing an article for the SP regarding our Spy Week collaboration. Some of the tweets are absolutely awesome. Some of the stories (dentist turned Scandinavian Mata Hari) are compelling. Length of piece doesn't matter; informative + catchy does matter, e.g. we used "Shhh! Spies!" for the invitation header so something like that. In advance, thanks! --Rosiestep (talk) 15:30, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. Sorry for just getting round to this but been super busy with OER16.

Hallo, I've just added a new section to User talk:Padraigin1 but it's appearing within the boundary of your previous edit to that page, the welcome template and associated messages about the editathon. I can't work out how to "close off" your addition: could you have a look at it please and sort it out? If you've put the same message on other editors' pages there may be the same problem elsewhere!

Glasgow Wiki Meetup 30th April
Hi Ewan, I'm so sorry but I'm going to have trouble attending tomorrow's wiki meetup. A member of staff called in sick and I'm going to have to work. I'll definitely miss the sharmanka performance, but I'll try and make to some of the wiki meetup if I can, although if work is busy I might miss it altogether... :( Elflin (talk) 20:37, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * No worries. No one else has officially signed up for it (got couple of maybes) so may just wait and see if anyone comes along and head off myself if not. Keep in touch though, hope to do this again and get a wee Glasgow Wiki scene going if poss. Btw, Sara said you've been looking at setting up something yourself? Would be good to learn more, but another time perhaps? Drop me an email with your preferences for venues and I'll happily set something up (and rope Sara in once she's recovered from the Beltane Fire Festival). Laters...

Want to help test advanced new tools planned for Recent Changes?
Hi Stinglehammer! I’m reaching out to you because our logs tell us you’re an active Twinkle new user welcomer. The WMF Collaboration team is working on new tools that we hope will be useful to people engaged in reviewing recent changes, fighting vandalism or supporting new users. We want to test them for usability with editors who are experienced with relevant wiki work. If you’re interested in helping to shape this new technology—we’d like to hear from you.

The testing should take about an hour, will be conducted online, and will take place during the next few weeks. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org with the subject line Twinkle Welcomer. Include the following information:


 * Username


 * Email where we can reach you


 * Your city or time zone


 * Best time to talk to you


 * Your primary use(s) of Twinkle or Recent Changes (e.g., reviewing recent changes, reviewing with a particular focus (specify), anti-vandalism, new-page review, welcoming new users, etc.)

Thanks!

I have paraphrased and removed some of the content you added to the above article, as it appears to have been copied from the copyright web pages https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/30/evelyn-gillan and http://www.scotsman.com/mobile/news/obituaries/obituary-evelyn-gillan-social-campaigner-1-3838293. I have removed the material from one of your sandboxes as well. All content you add to Wikipedia must be written in your own words. I also have removed some the quotations you added to the article, because our non-free content policy requires that non-free content can be added only when there's no alternative and should not be used to excess. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:48, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

New page and question
As always thanks again for the WiR session and your advice yesterday, I created a new page also for Katherine "Kitty" Marshall as well as Violet Aitken now.

Looking at the main page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette#Great_Britain I noticed there is a section for Ireland and Great Britain but not highlighting Scotland although there is a category and list for Scottish suffragettes from the work you and others are leading on this year. I am rather reluctant to be brave and edit a 'main' article, perhaps you & other WiR leaders can think about increasing the prominence of Scottish women.

Thank you! Kaybeesquared (talk) 08:30, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

George Drever - scheduled for deletion

I have tried to respond to this challenge and asked for the categories to be removed (soldier etc) instead; or return to DRAFT ARTICLE status. But I have added two BOOK references rather and hope that helps.

Not much time this next couple of weeks to do more.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Buildings in Larbert


A tag has been placed on Category:Buildings in Larbert requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Liz Read!

DYK Louie Cullen - TODAY 19 December 2019
Stinglehammer and Victuallers Hey guys, very excited that 'my' page on Louie Cullen is in today's DYK section - could not have done it without you - and of course thanks to those who sponsored the idea of it as a DYK in the first place! Happy Christmas

... that Louie Cullen, known as "the last of the suffragettes", started a prison hunger strike after her arrest for a 1908 attempt to rush into the House of Commons to promote women's right to vote in the UK?

Women in Red workshops
Hi there, Stinglehammer, and thanks for the excellent progress you are making at your Women in Red workshops. Yesterday's event was particularly successful with several contributors adding the Women in Red box to their user pages, some of them even creating biographies. In fact only two of them, and, registered correctly as members of the project on the main Women in Red page. I have been informing the others on their talk pages that they should register there too. For those who have joined "officially", we are able to check whether they continue to be active on not as we have both active and inactive membership lists. Those officially listed as members are also added to our mailing lists where they are kept informed of virtual meetups, etc. Adding the WIR box to a user page automatically adds Category:WikiProject Women in Red members but does not update the official membership list. Maybe you could point this out to future contributors and encourage them to register. If they do so, they can also add a few words on their interests and on whether they need help with anything specific. They can even add a photo if they wish. You are, of course, welcome to register as a member yourself as we really appreciate the efforts you are making to promote the project. Sorry if this all sounds rather bureaucratic but I like to be able to keep a proper check on new participants. Happy editing! (cc )--Ipigott (talk) 08:26, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

I see you have tagged the user page of your second account with the WIR box but you have not yet joined officially.--Ipigott (talk) 10:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this. I've now added the user box and joined the project. Part of what Laura is being tasked to do is to raise awareness, participation and more sustained community building/ongoing editing so we'll feed all this into our next workshop. Many thanks! Stinglehammer (talk) 13:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks. You are now fully registered as Stinglehammer. Maybe it's not worthwhile registered as EMcAndrew too. In any case, welcome to the project. It might also be useful to have a participants section on University of Edinburgh/Events and Workshops/Women in Red for each meetup. It would make it easier to check on what your new contributors have been doing. If you need further assistance with anything, please let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 14:23, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

disambiguation with two people (only)
Thanks for the latest WIR wiki-editathon today, it was good to learn new things and learn about more Women in Red. As it was ending you were helping me looking into the above. After a bit of further searching on the help pages, found the 'about' template was most useful and have adapted it for both Margaret Davidsons Margaret Davidson Margaret Davidson (suffragist) and Joyce Baird Joyce Baird (diabetologist) thank you and Laura!

suffragettes and criminal biography category
Just noted today that Jessie Kenney was categorised in WikiProject Criminal Biography https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jessie_Kenney&diff=next&oldid=1006334363

Looking at this category there is not a section for political prisoners treated as criminals or UK suffragettes specifically?

But if Jessie Kenney is categorised that way, should her family and the rest of the Eagle House (suffragette's rest) suffragettes or the Holloway brooch and Hunger Strike Medal recipients be in this category too?

For consistency and connecting with the treatment of women's suffrage prisoners??

I am happy to help categorising articles for the women imprisoned if it is needed. Kaybeesquared (talk) 10:57, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ewan
I simply adore the polar bears on your user page. Hello, Ewan, my name is Asareel but I go by A or Rose or Wolf or any combination of that here on Wikipedia. I just like to give my name because it seems more personal. Genevieve is also an option but its what the older men in my village in Italy used to call me because they said Asareel wasn't Italian enough. News Flash to them, Genevieve is French but hey, who's keeping score? Any way, Ian (Ipigott) informed me that I may want to liaise with and yourself on creating a list or subpages for the various workshops Edinburgh and WiR have collaborated on. I can lay the groundwork for it if we can get some simple facts or short history of the workshops. I think if we hit the high level details of some of the more prominent ones then we can always circle back and add in some of those we may see we want to add. Anyway, let me know what you guys are thinking and if you have suggestions please feel free to comment. The plan is to either add it to our current list, or make it a subpage of the list. -- A Rose Wolf  17:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Major developments ahead
I don't know if you are still active as a WIR or in outreach. As I well remember the not too friendly comments you made at length on not being aware of the 6-year run up to ACTRIAL, the biggest single policy change since Wikipedia was created, I'm taking the initiative to let you know that there are are current overlapping talks at WMF level on a) IP cloaking, and b) banning editing by IP users altogether. These might or might not affect the operations of outreach workers who may be involved in the onboarding of new users or the organisation of editathons. There is no need for you to reply, but if you wish to, as I'm no longer active on en.Wiki, you can leave a message on my talk page meta:User talk:Kudpung.

Improving WiR membership
Thanks, Stinglehammer, for all you are doing to improve coverage of women. I know you are also interested in encouraging more Wikipedians to become members of Women in Red. In this connection, you might like to point to:


 * Join WikiProject Women in Red

rather than making a simple link to the main WiR page.

One of the areas where we need to devote more effort if we are to reduce the gender gap is business. We'll be focusing on Women in Business in January and have also been working on the development of WikiProject Women in Business which you might like to bring to the attention of your team. You could perhaps include it in your page on Other WikiProjects. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 14:03, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately latest edits won't save and only found one source ( due to a more famous author of same name ) so cannot publish as stub, even!

Sarah Ejiama & Makoto Furutani-Seiki
Hi Stinglehammer, thanks for your online training that has aided my journey on creating pages as above. As been new, I wanted to clarify some issues with one editor regarding the page - Sarah Ejiama. The editor challenges her notability and reliable sources but from all I gathered and from the training, she's co-author over 4 different publication which she has contributed to and these were published in reliable journals as you will notice.

Please could you kindly review and advise thus?

Hi there, Stinglehammer. I see you've been cleaning up your user page. Perhaps inadvertently you deleted the WiR user box. As far as I can see you have always been a keen member of the project and have continued writing biographies of women. It would therefore be good if you could restore it.--Ipigott (talk) 07:24, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Charlotte Mui
Hello Stinglehammer,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Charlotte Mui for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Charlotte Mui to be deleted, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Some format issues about University of Edinburgh/Events and Workshops/Translation Studies - 2023/2024
I apologize for not being good at English and thank you for your contributions.

Recently, when I patrol new entries on zh Wikipedia, I notice that most members of yours add a space before a footnote, we seldom do that in Chinese （Chinese punctuation is wider than English punctuation）. As removing these spaces may require a significant amount of work, I would appreciate it if you could give a brief notice before the translation activity to reduce unnecessary work. It is worth mentioning that there is no clear policy or regulation restricting this approach, I am just here on behave of myself.

Thank you again for your contributions, your translations is better than most of us. Heihaheihaha (talk) 18:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
