Daughter/parent category redundancy
Hi, Category:American Roman Catholic nuns is a daughter category of Category:American Roman Catholics. When putting the former on an article, there is no need to put the latter. :) Lady  of  Shalott  21:31, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Women religious
I see you're a part of Wikiproject Catholicism. I was wondering if your interest in women religious lies beyond the sisters for whom you work? I could use some advice. Thank you. --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 15:07, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

I have acquired a fair bit of knowledge about women religious as a whole in this process. For instance I ended up writing a lot of the articles for other Sisters of Providence congregations just to figure out the mass of wrong links all over the place! What are you working on? Sweet kate (talk) 15:28, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I am working on the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The page started out as a redirect to the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary from Michigan, which was not want I wanted.  I was looking for info in the IHM Sisters from California, so I started building an article at the original redirect page I first linked to above.  --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 19:04, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Vigo county NRHPs
Hi, i had already noticed your nice work adding pics and developing descriptions for items in National Register of Historic Places listings in Vigo County, Indiana. Nice job! I'm sorry if my first direct interaction with you was my edit reverting you in the list-article, on a small technical point. I replied to your question at what i hope is a central good place for the discussion, at Talk:First National Bank (Terre Haute, Indiana). Hopefully User:Nyttend and I are not too overbearing, as we try to be bureaucratic in a good way (meaning applying a uniform, fair policy) rather than being bureaucratic in a bad way (like being arbitrary and unfair). The main thing is, I'm glad you're active and contributing! Keep up the good work. Also, if you haven't joined already, please do consider adding your name to the membership of WikiProject NRHP (shortcut wp:NRHP). Either way, please feel free to announce your new articles at the section for that on its mainpage, and to participate at its Talk page (shortcut wt:NRHP).

Blackhawk
You're quick off the mark! I created the Blackhawk, Indiana article at 9:56 and at 10:08 you were already improving it. Omnedon (talk) 14:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Ha! So funny. I got really confused when I clicked a red link and it went to an article. Then when I went back to see if it was really a red link, it wasn't, so I thought I was going crazy. Glad I'm not. Sweet kate (talk) 14:26, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * By the way, your use of the county map on the Allendale article is an excellent idea. That's much more descriptive and useful (especially for a small town) than its position within the entire state.  I created the original map on which you based yours, and if you need to have any other maps created, I'm glad to help.  Omnedon (talk) 15:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

County pushpin maps
Noting your recent addition of county-level pushpin maps to articles for towns in Vigo County, Indiana, I looked into it and learned about location map templates from your example; so first of all, thanks for that opportunity. I've created one for Warren County and have applied it to some towns there (like Johnsonville, Indiana). I now have a PHP MapScript program that will auto-generate the map itself from 2009 census data, and will also output finished template code including the map edge coordinates. If you decide to do other counties, I would be glad to provide the maps and templates (if you wish). Omnedon (talk) 01:47, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh that would be super helpful. I just made a template for Sullivan County yesterday and had to figure out the map edge coordinates myself, which was a pain. If you don't mind going ahead and doing Clay, Parke and Vermillion counties for now, that would be great! Sweet kate (talk) 14:12, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Also while I'm thinking about it: In all my recent poking around in unincorporated communities (that I've created and that I haven't) I've noticed that the "settlement type" field in the infobox is pretty inconsistent - it's "town" or "unincorporated town" or "unincorporated community" or other things. What do you think? Should it be standardized? Sweet kate (talk) 14:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I've created the Clay County location map, and I tested it on Art, Indiana; does it look correct to you? As to standardization, that's a good point -- it probably should be standardized.  Personally I think I prefer "unincorporated town" over "unincorporated community"; any thoughts?  Omnedon (talk) 15:04, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Clay County looks good to me! Awesome! And I just read the unincorporated area article and learned some things. I say let's go with "unincorporated town" for most cases, like the GNIS listings that are floating in the middle of townships not in any town limits, and "unincorporated community" for areas like Twelve Points, Indiana, which are inside the city limits of other (incorporated) towns. Both would link to unincorporated area. (To pick a standard sort of arbitrarily.) Sweet kate (talk) 15:27, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * That sounds reasonable to me. The Parke and Vermillion county maps and templates are now ready, too!  I tested Bridgeton, Indiana and Alta, Indiana, and I think they're correct.  I can generate complete infoboxes for towns, including coordinates, and I see that some in Clay County have no infobox and others have no coordinates, so I can easily put that information in; but I don't want to get in your way if that's a project you would like to work on. Omnedon (talk) 16:59, 19 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Go ahead if it's easy for you! I doubt I'll run out of work. On the same token, don't feel like you have to drop whatever else you were working on and fill in random Indiana towns. :) Sweet kate (talk) 19:46, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Do you think you could vet the article on Fritz Schlemmer?
Hello Sweet kate,

I notice that you added the article on the Hoosier Salon just after I added the article on Fritz Schlemmer, which mentioned the Hoosier Salon, and you included a backlink to Fritz, thanks. Your article got vetted right away, but the one on Fritz still has that disclaimer about being an unreviewed article. I know wikipedia is run by volunteers and has limited resources, but, I thought perhaps you might have the power and the will to do something if I brought it to your attention.

Hello!
I just noticed your WP:Public art membership and your recent work with the Terre Haute list of public art. I'm glad that you found the project and that the templates have been helpful! In addition to being involved in WP:Public art, I am also currently the Wikipedian-in-Residence at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. We're considering having another Backstage Pass event for local Wikipedians (within driving distance or otherwise who are willing to get to the museum on their own). This will likely be on a Saturday in April. Let me know if you think you'd be interested! And let me know if you have any questions about our different outreach efforts with WP:Public art or with any of the Wiki-museum collaborative work going on. Thanks!

Thank you for your contribution of Leroy Lamis article. It is a very good summary of his life and work. I would like to to learn about your interest in Leroy Lamis and his work. I look forward to hearing from you. Terpsichore019 (talk) 16:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Terpsichore019


 * Hello Terpsichore! I've been working on updating articles about artists with strong ties to Terre Haute.

US National Archives collaboration
Hi Kate. I want to thank you for signing up to participate. You indicated interest in working with images, so I thought I would stop by and suggest some activities that would be useful. The category of high-resolution TIFFs that I have uploaded so far is at commons:Category:High-resolution TIFF images from the National Archives and Records Administration. Any assistance would be much appreciated. :-) This project can be great, but its success depends entirely upon the amount of work that we as a community put into it. Dominic·t 17:10, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Categorizing: As you probably know, on Commons it is imperative that files be well categorized. Some of the files I have uploaded as part of this project have few or no categories. My hope is that, especially as we develop ways of uploading images in a more automated way, we will be able to put the images on Commons without worrying about pre-categorizing them, and then Commoners can go in afterward and add categories.
 * Converting: When at all possible, files are being uploaded as archival TIFF files. In order to prepare them for use, these need to be converted to JPG (still pictures) or DjVu (textual documents), with the latter often requiring the combining of the TIFF files for a multi-page document. The converted versions should be linked using "|Other versions=" in the template of the original, and vice versa.
 * Organizing: Right now, there is no process for these tasks. It is not obvious which files are categorized or have been converted for use, and we don't have any way of distinguishing the existing JPGs taken from NARA's website from the new, high-quality ones that have been uploaded in conjunction with this project. I would like to hear if you have any ideas about how to make this all work go more smoothly, with tags or categories or some other scheme.

Being impartial and Wiki standards of structure
What specifically is impartial regarding the updates made to the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul article?

What specifically does not follow the Wiki standards of structure?

I work for the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul and I am trying to update the article to provide accurate information. This article is being used for information on a Facebook page and I'm sure many others and want to make sure the information that is there is correct to what the Sisters want listed.

Any help you can provide is welcome.

Thanks!

--Provcomm (talk) 16:13, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello, Provcomm — welcome to Wikipedia! First off, I am quite on board with your goal of updating the article with correct information and don't mean to hinder that process. The issues in the article are certainly all fixable. For instance, it is standard in Wikipedia articles that

If you have questions or want some help with the article, please let me know. I'd be more than willing to give you some pointers. Editing Wikipedia can be huge and overwhelming at first, but once you understand its style and methods everything comes more naturally. Sweet kate (talk) 16:18, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * the very first sentence begins with the article name in boldface and a short, impartial description: "The Sisters of Providence of Saint St. Vincent de Paul are..." More story-telling type language can go in a "History" section.
 * Mission-statement language needs to be labeled as such and cited. For instance, other orders include a "Mission" or "Philosophy" or "Spirituality" section with a phrase like, "According the congregation's mission statement, the Sisters are 'called to be channels of God's Providence in the world through compassionate service...'" and then citing the source of this, from your website or a publication. (See WP:CITE)
 * Language needs to stay encyclopedic. This Wikipedia guideline might help: WP:NPOV. So words like "pioneering" or "enduring" or "gifted" are super in marketing language but less suitable here. Instead of "gifted with a charism" you could say "follow a charism" or similar. Then, because "charism" is a word that many readers may not know, we'd link it using the double brackets to the Wikipedia article for charism. WP:LINK
 * Even if your congregation doesn't talk about the Holyoke sisters, if that history is true, it should stay in the encyclopedia.

Hi Sweet kate, I find this method of communicating kind of cumbersome, but I do thank you for your advice. Some of the information was there previous to my update such as part of the first sentence you said is "Story-like". I'm not sure how to change this tho. I have updated it to put items in sections as you suggested.

I've added a citation and tried to reword some things to be more impartial. As far as information regarding the Holyoke Sisters, there has always been some conflict regarding the events around that and as far as I understand the information as listed wasn't exactly correct. For now I chose to leave that information out until such time as an appropriate wording can be determined that is accurate to what we know.

I will review the article again later to see what other references and citations, and possible impartial word changes I can use. Let me know if you have other suggestions in the mean time. Thanks!

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable fair use File:NancyNolan.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:NancyNolan.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

 * I would imagine that line was put in by someone who works at her museum or a teenager in Terra Huete who has either visited her museum or has written a school project about it. Ms. Kor has a sort of "cadre" of followers in Indiana who promote her story and her museum, some of it justifiably so.  I've met her and she was pretty nice, but my spouse thought she was capitalizing on her experiences a bit too much (the first thing they say to you when you walk into her museum is "would you like to purchase Eva Kor's book?") and she actually got a bit angry if you stray for her recorded storyline and ask her other questions like what was her life like in Romania before the Germans as well as her personal feelings and dealing with Mengele.  Anyway, she's a very interesting person and one of the last of the survivors left (Thomas Blatt is another who I would love to meet).  Thanks for keeping an eye on the article.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted the article following its nomination above by another admin. I believe that it was promotional because
 * it did not attempt to show that it meets the notability guidelines by giving genuine facts such as how many employees? Members? funding sources other than the bike rides? Amount of money raised? Even the headquarters are not mentioned in the text, only the infobox
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Instead of facts we get uncritical reporting of aims and mission statements. Without figures, there is no sense of what, if anything, the organisation has actually achieved, it's just stuff that could have come straight from the organisation's publicity (as the mission statement obviously did)

The organisation may be notable, and I'm willing to sandbox the deleted text for you to improve, if you wish to do so Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:23, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, please sandbox the deleted text for me. I don't think that this [admittedly incomplete] article really warranted speedy deletion ... but I recognize it's not worth arguing about at this point. Sweet kate (talk) 20:55, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Deleted text posted here. I agree that the article having been nominated and deleted in accordance with procedure, it's probably simpler now to do it this way than try to undo the deletion. It should come out as a better article anyway. Not sure about "efforts" as a section heading, but your call Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:57, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Art Spaces- Wabash Valley Outdoor Sculpture Collection, Inc.


A tag has been placed on Art Spaces- Wabash Valley Outdoor Sculpture Collection, Inc. 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. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 removed 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.  caknuck °  needs to be running more often  20:36, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Re this change, in which you added some mid-19th-century commercial artist's idea of what Fibonacci might have looked like to Fibonacci: see WP:PORTRAIT. Based on the reasoning there, I have removed the image again. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:51, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Proposed deletion of Ashley C. Ford


The article Ashley C. Ford has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "I'm not sure that this establishes notability."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:16, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Ashley C. Ford for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ashley C. Ford is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Ashley C. Ford until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:24, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

You've got mail!
Hello Sweet Kate,

I am in fact related to Leroy Lamis as I have researched their family genealogy. There are about six branches of the Lemmens family from Sambeekse Hoek / Sint Anthonis in the Lands of Cuijk, in the Netherlands. I discovered their ancestral farmhouse from 1640 is still standing (Sambeekse Hoek no. 16) and is completely renovated by the present owners. It is wonderful. I have lived in the U.K since 1966 when I came to Edinburgh to study Biochemistry and Brewing, married IN Edinburgh and even our first son was born there. I was born in a Dutch colony, the Dutch East Indies in 1940 and came after the war with Japan finished in march 1946 to the Netherlands. We live in the South of England in a 14th century house (East Sussex). I love your article about Leroy !!

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space
There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:


 * Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
 * Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.

I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
