We noticed though that when you edited Indira Freitas Johnson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Loyola University (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thanks Gobonobo! What about a DYK nomination? Is it good enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petercannon usf (talk • contribs) 02:56, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

@Petercannon usf: Hi. Thank you for starting the article for Juliette Hampton Morgan. Unfortunately, the DYK nomination would have had to happen within five days of the creation of the article.

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's United States ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Washington, D.C. Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Canada Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from Minas Gerais Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Nepal Czar (submissions) and Indiana Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals.

Please move your Betty Bone Schiess article to the mainspace!

Dear Bonobo,

I found Betty Bone Schiess while reviewing uncategorised articles, and while trying to find references for information, I stumbled on your draft. Really great work! I've made two edits on your sandbox article, but I would like to point out that this revision would have been ready for the main article space as a stub (and would have been at absolutely no risk of deletion). If you had moved it into the main space then, you would still have been able to work on it, but others could have helped to edit it, and I would not have duplicated any of your effort. --Slashme (talk) 07:53, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Seeing as text in your sandbox is shared under CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL, I just moved it into the main space. --Slashme (talk) 20:06, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
... and then afterwards, I realised I should have asked someone to move the history. Here's where I asked for advice. --Slashme (talk) 06:30, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
Oh no. I'm sorry Slashme. That one had been sitting in my sandbox for a while and I created the stub article during an edit-a-thon as a demonstration. I'd forgotten to replace it with the sandbox article (which I thought needed lots of work). Thanks for your efforts cleaning it up. I don't care about the history. Your edit summary saying you moved the text from the sandbox is good enough for me. gobonobo + c 17:24, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
Excellent! I just saw the DYK nomination: looks good, and more interesting than most DYKs that I see on the front page. --Slashme (talk) 14:47, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Helen Fraser (feminist)‎

Hello Gobonobo. I notice on this article's talkpage that you have recently rated the article on two projects as a 'C' on the quality scale. As the creator and main contributor I feel that it is probably down to me to try and bring this article up to scratch. However, having read through the explanations given for the ratings of 'C' and 'B', I'm not sure how I can go about making an improvement. Therefore, I would appreciated it if you could give me a steer. Thanks. Graemp (talk) 15:21, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi @Graemp:. Thank you for starting the article on Helen Fraser (feminist). I wouldn't worry about the class ratings too much unless you plan on bringing the article to Good Article status. I used the C rating because it was already there for WikiProject Biography, but I took another look and went ahead and re-assessed the article as B-class. I would consider the article up to scratch regardless though. Keep up the good work, gobonobo + c 23:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2014

Hi Gobo. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:David Sharp 2006.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:David Sharp 2006.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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. Stefan2 (talk) 18:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello Gobonobo:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from June 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 1800 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the drive's page and help out!

The AfC helper script can assist you in tallying your edits automatically. To view a full list of changes, visit the changelog. Please report bugs and feature requests there, too! Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stonewall Book Award, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bill Wright (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Arkansas Policy Foundation

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Arkansas Policy Foundation, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Public_Policy_Foundation_of_West_Virginia.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

National Women's Hall of Fame

In all respect, these were not ‘easter eggs’. Just placeholders until such articles are created, so that when someone wants to learn who these 5 women were, would not have to search for it, as happened with the redlinks.--The Theosophist (talk) 10:01, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

P.S.

I also just noticed that you have already created the article for the first one of them. Goodluck with the other two!--The Theosophist (talk) 10:04, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi The Theosophist. I just didn't want to see total removal of the red links, but would be open to other solutions. I'd been thinking about restructuring the article to allow for a brief description of each inductee (ala Alaska Women's Hall of Fame). Or we could render it moot by simply starting articles for the two remaining women. I hope you will join me. gobonobo + c 10:35, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Pelageya Shajn

Gobonobo, thanks for finding more sources for Pelageya Shajn. It would help, though, if you provided just a bit more information for English Wikipedia users; in particular, English translations of the titles. Also, reference 2 has a volume and page numbers. Is it a journal article? Does it have its own title and author? RockMagnetist (talk) 19:17, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi RockMagnetist. Thank you for all of your efforts on articles for women scientists. Your contributions have made such a noticeable improvement on Wikipedia. I provided translations where I could for the Pelageya article and added an additional reference and further reading. I hope that helps. The second reference is a journal article, but I know neither its title nor the author, as I was only able to find access to a snippet version. The Perm Krai reference could be used to provide more biographical material I think as well. gobonobo + c 20:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
You're welcome! I have used snippets myself to establish an article's notability. At least it gives people a starting point. RockMagnetist (talk) 20:54, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
I once heard a talk by Vanessa Woods] about bonobos. It had some hilarious moments! RockMagnetist (talk) 20:54, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
