Happy editing! --Ipigott (talk) 08:32, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Ipigott, thanks for the welcome! I have been using the community portal and suggested edits on my user page to find articles to improve/edit. In addition, the requested articles and the WiR lists to find new topics to write about. I've been researching topics for notability, so will write about the ones I find most notable. A lot of the listed topics do not meet the criteria, so it takes a bit of time to find the ones that can be published. UMStellify (talk) 09:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, UMStellify, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you are interested in creating biographies. You've made a good start with Emma Lewis Lipps which shows you have a good understanding of Wikipedia editing. Nevertheless, if you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Essays, perhaps starting with our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:03, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello! Thank you for the welcome and for reviewing the Emma Lewis Lipps article. I have been going through the guidelines and policies - there are quite a few! It'll take some time to take grasp all of them. UMStellify (talk) 09:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Don't worry about them too much. You already seem to have a pretty good grasp of how to write a biography. If you run into problems, you can either let me know or discuss them on the WiR talk page. In any case, please let me know when you have completed your next draft.--Ipigott (talk) 09:31, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Sein Twa


A tag has been placed on Paul Sein Twa 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.goldmanprize.org/recipient/paul-sein-twa/, https://www.iccaconsortium.org/index.php/2020/12/18/congratulations-2020-goldman-environmental-prize-winners/, and https://karennews.org/2020/12/saw-paul-sein-twa-wins-goldman-environmental-prize/. 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.

The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy.

Julien Vincent moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Julien Vincent, is not suitable as written to remain published. Aside from the current state of the article, which reads like a promo announcement, it needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Eggshell planet
Hello, UMStellify,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Lightoil and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Eggshell planet, for deletion, because [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eggshell planet|a consensus decision]] previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

 * Oh, well! In the past, Wikipedia notified if I was creating an article about a topic that was already deleted. Happened at least twice before and I simply ceased researching and writing on the topic. It didn't this time around, so I went on. And given the deletion discussion you shared, I can't help but agree. Thanks, know better now. UMStellify (talk) 05:19, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Timeline of women's education
As you may have noticed, I've been doing quite a bit of copy editing on this. I'm a bit worried about the prominence given to the United States. It seems to me that in particular the long 1984 passage on the court ruling would be better covered by a note. Also a bit worried about all the wikilinking. Some universities are linked multiple times while others are not linked at all. Let me know if you need help with anything else.--Ipigott (talk) 14:16, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the copyedits. And yes, I noticed that there is quite a bit of undue weight given to United States. Especially over the last 150 years. I'm reading and researching, taking notes, to include more entries from around the world to make the entire timeline more balanced. Wikilinking is all over the place, for sure. I'll work on that with you. UMStellify (talk) 19:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions. Inappropriate usage of this user right may result in revocation.

 * Hi @Yamla, thanks for removing the block. I'm reading the page you shared and it shouldn't be a problem, but I'm still a bit unclear as to what triggered the block in the first place, and as such, not entirely sure on how to avoid it in the future. I really hope it wasn't something I did by mistake, but it would be good to know if I was directly involved somehow. Do you have that information and is it possible for you to share? Thank you.
