Hallo Jane,

here is a page with suggestions for articles which people could create for the teylers challenge, I bet you have lots of suggestions which could be added. Dat zou erg mooi zijn.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Start-Class Teylers articles of High-importance

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Category:Start-Class Teylers articles of High-importance, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Shriram (talk) 17:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

collaborations

Hi Jane,

is it intentional that it is quite hard to find the 'one-to-one' collaboration page and the photo request page on the Teylers Challenge pages? I had to search quite hard before I figured it out. effeietsanders 10:55, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lodewijk, I am not even sure I made the 'one-to-one' collaboration page, since I just created the WikiProject based on work that others have done - I assumed the "Challenge" pages were copied from the Derby Museum challenge, but I am not sure about that because I think MaartenD made those. I think the collaboration page is a great idea, and as long as Geert Jan knows how to find it I am unwilling to change it (but I noticed he is getting very proficient at uploading and editting, which is also great). If you have an idea how to make the page more prominent, then go ahead! I must admit that despite my overwhelming knowledge of the English language the jargon around the WikiProject pages on the English Wikipedia regularly baffles me completely. Jane (talk) 10:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking about just adding a tab on the contest page leading to the collaboration page, or alternatively at least very explicitely mention them on the Help page... I agree we shouldn't start moving pages around - but focus on adding links. effeietsanders 10:37, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK I see what you mean and I added the link in two different places and also added a "TO DO" page. See what you think. Do you know how to track the participants? If I have time I will see if I can figure that out too. Jane (talk) 11:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

QRpedia

Thank you for joining WikiProject QRpedia. Have you been able, or do you have plans, to deploy QRpedia anywhere? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Andy, I am a volunteer at my local history museum and I have been working on them for about a year to use QRpedia, and there are two problems; one is that there is no one in a decision-making capacity with a smart phone, and the other is that we lean heavily on the North Holland archives for background information, and they have implemented QR codes on their own website (all in Dutch) for our use. So far we have only done one exhibition with their QR codes, and I still have not been able to find out what the stats were on those links except that people say "nobody used them". I also haven't been able to explain the difference between QR codes and QRpedia (nobody seems to care that foreigners are unable to understand our stuff, which is still only presented in Dutch). I haven't given up on them though! There is more hope for results in the near future from another project: this year WMNL is working with another local museum (all three institutions are in the same town - Haarlem), the Teylers Museum, and they may use QRpedia codes on specific exhibits after the writing challenge - I believe this is one of the goals of the challenge. Jane (talk) 13:22, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mont Blanc rock

Hi Jane023,

Thanks for bringing Top of the Mont Blanc to my attention. I was happy to learn about the expedition and display. I edited it to make the English flow better and gave it some structure too. (I think it ought to be "Top of Mont Blanc" rather than "Top of THE Mont Blanc" but can't change the title, although I did create a redirect from "TIP of Mount Blanc".) Also, just wanted to say I spent a long time in the exhibition on Judith Leister in Haarlem a couple of years ago. Loved it. Very impressive artist and very impressive curation. Whiteghost.ink (talk) 01:36, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What a nice note, thanks! I myself was surpised how interested I could be in a rock and was astounded to see the list of equipment they dragged up the mountain (including some fragile glass vacuum equipment to take samples of air). That Judith Leyster exhibit in the Frans Hals Museum really was lovely and I was so happy to see that. Last year that museum underwent a very long closure due to finding asbestos in the roof added in 1913. The expense nearly ruined them altogether, since the city council (whose fault it was) refused to pay. Astoundingly the news has caused a flurry of unexpected donations, and who knows, they may even be able to purchase more Judith Leysters someday! I am hoping they can revive the work of some lesser known female artists from her time, such as Maria de Grebber and Sara Baalbergen, who were her contemporaries in the studio of Pieter de Grebber.

Hi Jane,

Thanks a lot for finding this picture! If you happen to be around in the library again, would it be possible to take another picture but then from a bit higher so that the perspective is nicer? Then the picture is probably clearer, and it is more useful even for the article. Thanks! effeietsanders 13:45, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know, it's a fairly poor picture, but it's the best I could do! I didn't upload it at the time because I felt it wasn't good enough. Someone with a better camera (and a higher reach) needs to retake this picture, and otherwise I guess it needs to get restored so someone will digitise it. What struck me about this painting is how similar it is to other Haarlem portraits with a red curtain on one side and holding a book. Jane (talk) 11:20, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad you uploaded it - it is much better than nothing :) I just assumed that you passed by it, because it was so quickly after the article was written - so hoped you might pass it soon again.

Hi Jane,

I notice that you added the category People from Haarlem to the categories of Member of Teylers Eersta and Tweede Genootschap.

disambiguation

Hi Jane,

I noted that you created several articles with specifications as 'Jr.', 'Sr.', 'II' and 'III' in the name. I was wondering, how sure are you that these specifications are exactly correct (and that there are not forefathers with the same names)? How common are those denominations exactly? I myself tried to stick to unambiguous disambiguation (hah, pun intended), and tried to use the year of birth&death where possible between disambiguation brackets. That way it doesn't matter if Johannes Enschedé suddenly appears to have a father too, and doesn't leave odd gaps when John Doe III is irrelevant, but John Doe I, John Doe II and John Doe IV áre relevant. I'm not sure what is most common practice on enwiki, but that makes much more sense to me in the long run :) Would like your input too, effeietsanders 19:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this is the en wiki, where you will rarely find consensus in these things, but in general I do two things: 1) I check the Rkd, and 2) I pick the name used in the sources. The son of Isaak is the oldest Johannes Enschede, so I started with him. As you can see I haven't quite decided yet for Enschede IV. As far as the Van der Kellen's go, it's tricky. Sr. & Jr. seem to be correct in all sources, but III is generally referred to without any suffix, probably because as a competent painter and museum director he achieved greater fame than his father & grandfather. Using the dates can be confusing for search reasons, but of course I have done that too in the past. I prefer though to use some sort of occupation, so I'll probably use David van der Kellen (painter). Jane (talk) 20:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely agree on the occupation preference - but as you noted that doesn't work for several families where father and son do the same job. A problem I have with Jr. and Sr. is that other sources often use "de Jongere" and "de Oudere" (like with Leendert Viervant), and it gets all confusing. Then having the years (as long as not contested) is at least consistent. But you think that there is no Johannes Enschedé as a forefather of Isaak Enschedé? Considering that Johannes is such a common forename :) effeietsanders 20:55, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well it's basically about disambiguation and what's *most* convenient for the encyclopedia. So if there turns out to be an earlier Johannes Enschede, then I will probably call him Johannes the Elder. With Adriaan Loosjes for example, it seems to go Adriaan, Pieter, Adriaan, Pieter, ... In that case you can use I, Ii, III but not Sr. & Jr. as those are specifically reserved for father & son.. I tend to pick the most famous one for the one *without* suffix, in this case Adriaan II. I noticed the nl wiki has an article for the oldest Adriaan. If I ever bother with him I'll call him the Elder. Does this make sense? Jane (talk) 05:23, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a footnote, I can add that when it really gets hairy I have resorted to location, as in Jan van Kessel (Amsterdam), or Belgian notation for suspected Belgians like Hans IV Jordaens. In the end it all depends on the most popular references and common sense. Jane (talk) 05:32, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it doesn't really make sense to me. It sounds too much like randomness to me to just pick one of them and leave out any suffix at all - and unless you create all the possible redirects for every option, picking a different convention every time doesn't make it easier to find the article (and makes it more likely two people will create the same article with different names). I would prefer the approach that we use whatever name their 'tijdgenoten' (time companions?) used, and if there are two people who both in their time were called the same, that we'd use disambiguation through brackets on subject, city or years. Exceptions could be made. In most cases we have some source from that period of time or short after, and we could check how they were referred to. effeietsanders 08:53, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the "tijdgenoten" concept can be tricky too. The Dutch as you know are always extremely accommodating, and Johann Georg Holtzhey signed his own letters with Jean George Holtzhey. Frankly I don't see what's wrong with following the RKD, since they are about 90% correct (and have much more experience disambiguating Dutch names internationally than Wikipedia does, since artists have been catalogued and collected for centuries).

Thanks, that is so cool! You are amazing, and of course completely right. I was shocked myself to discover that he had such a big role in the Elgin marbles, and no Wikipedia article? I find it more than strange that there is no article on him in the Greek Wikipedia. Just judging from my experience in the Teylers Challenge, the biographies of artists who went through negative experiences in life, or who met their ends in a fateful way, or somehow did "something bad", seem to be the most popular. On second thought though, the Greek article on el:Ελγίνεια_Μάρμαρα is pretty short. It's amazing what happens when you ship a national treasure out of the country - out of sight, out of mind, I guess. Jane (talk) 08:52, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Second half of Basisbibliotheek - Duizend sleutelteksten uit de cultuurgeschiedenis van de Lage Landen

Canon of Dutch Literature states that I should look for the second half of the list somewhere, without linking it. I find it pretty lame to only list 500 items out of a list of 1000 entries. If you make a selection, make a short selection of titles. If you go for the full list, list them all, not just half of them. Could you list the other 500 items? Sumurai8 (talk) 08:39, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see someone is interested in that list! I checked, and the other half of the list is still linked - it's in the source link which is given at the bottom of the page. The reason I didn't include the more recent 500 books is because I felt at the time that these books would not be of encyclopedic value to the English Wikipedia. I still feel these books are less valuable to the English Wikipedia than the last 500 books are. However, you are making a perfectly valid request, because there is certainly a case to be made that these books are of interest to non-Dutch speakers. I clicked on the interwiki link however and see that the second half is apparently not considered of encyclopedic value to the Dutch wikipedia either, which is surprising. You might want to make your request there (in English) on the Dutch village pump. If someone builds the list, I will copy it over. If you are able to create the list, go ahead.

Lists of protected heritage in Flanders

Hello Jane, you use wrong titles: only the numbers with the "Yes"-flag are protected, the rest of the numbers is only put in the inventory of Flemish heritage. Regards, Sonuwe (talk) 08:45, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback - why inventory if protection is not the goal? Are people allowed to modify the facades of their houses as they see fit, even if they are in the inventory list? In the netherlands you need permission to change the color of paint you choose for your windows if your house is listed (at the municipal level or at the national level). Or do you mean I should only filter the "Yes" objects because the other objects are not notable enough for the encyclopedia? It does seem (compared to Wallonia) that there are a lot more objects than I would expect for small towns. What alternative name do you propose? Jane (talk) 09:28, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, people are allowed the modify facades of the houses which are on the inventory but not protected. They can even demolish the houses after an investigation done by the municipality about the heritage value. When the house is protected (Yes-flags), you cannot change anything at the facades (and in some monuments even the interior) of the building before the agency of heritage has given his permission. A demolishion of a protected house is impossible. There must be a declassification of the monument that has to be published in the Belgian Official Journal. Please note that heritage in Flemish and Walloon region have a totally different legislation. This is not any more a federal issue. Name propose: List of immovable heritage in ... In Flanders, a lot of notable heritage relicts are on the inventory list but is not protected such as castles, churches, towers, etc... New protected monuments are mostly taken from the inventory. Best regards, Sonuwe (talk) 09:52, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks, I will rename to immovable. Jane (talk) 10:26, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jane, I see some wrong translations. A "breedhuis" is not the same as a "breed huis". Your translation into "wide house" is not correct. A "breedhuis" is a house with the top of the roof in parallel of the street. That type of house is the opposite of a "diephuis" with the top of the roof perpendicular to the street. Same with a "enkelhuis" (door at the extreme right or left of the facade) which is not a "enkel huis" and a "dubbelhuis" (door in the +/- middle of the facade) which is not a "dubbel huis". Because I'm Flemish, I don't know the exact English architectural names for these type of houses. Therefor, I suggest to translate those specific names simply by "house". Best regards, Sonuwe (talk) 08:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking! Those are "google-translate" mistakes - as you suggest here, I have been attempting to just trim these down to a generic "house"/"maison" wherever possible. Now and then some do slip through ("burger house", "broad house", "flat, wide house", and others). I went ahead and created categories on Commons for various types of farms, and this should probably be done for the Flemish house types too. Then a generic article dealing with the Flemish architectural types can ne created. These terms are not used in the Netherlands, where these types do exist. I am giving up on the French by the way, because otherwise I will never finish before September. If you are at all handy with lists, I would appreciate some assistance, and otherwise, feel free to correct lists as you encounter problems. I was surprised to see the lists do not come with the French translations, and I saw that on the fr wiki these lists are still in Dutch! If you speak French you can start hacking away at the translations over there. Over here I prefer incorrect English to Dutch, as long as I keep the original Dutch in there as a reference. Jane (talk) 09:45, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GLAM: Philadelphia Museum of Art update

Hi GLAM PMA folks! I wanted to update you about some recent events related to our fantastic Museum. I met Jessica Milby, PMA Collections Information Project Manager, at Wikimania in July. Jessica was looking for ways to improve articles on Wikipedia about the Museum and its artists/collections. We followed up a few weeks later at the Perelman Building in downtown Philadelphia where we discussed ways to increase participation in the GLAM/PMA project.

  • The first idea is to do some outreach to the GLAM:PMA project members, including mass messages updating you all about plans and, seeking feedback about new ideas, and hearing your thoughts about what's in the works.
  • The next step is a drive to improve the main Philadelphia Museum of Art article. The article is currently 'B-Class', but Jessica was confident that with the abundance of high quality sources about the Museum that it could be improved even further. Jessica recommended this extensive source from the Museum's website.
  • Another idea that came out of the meeting was a project within the Museum to assess which PMA-related topics are missing articles on Wikipedia.
  • One of Jessica's ideas is to have the knowledgeable curators of the Museum provide recommended reading lists for PMA-related articles. That should be a great first step to guiding editors towards the information they need to expand and improve that content.
  • Also raised for discussion were some ideas about how to engage the broader community. There is interest in setting up a tour/edit-a-thon, but this remains in the preliminary stage. Would you be interested in participating in such an event?
  • We have new stats! These 24 articles are all under the PMA project. I compiled the last 90-day page views and then annualized the results. PMA-related articles get almost 800,000 view per year!
See the stats!

It's exciting to have a partner in Jessica Milby and there should be a lot of good work coming out the collaboration within the next 3-6 months.

I'm afraid ...

.. that I made life more difficult for .. I suspect you (if I am mistaken, and the original introducer is someone else, please accept my apologies and please point me in the right direction): I have just meta blacklisted the website 'para.ms' - which is basically a redirect service. I don't know whether you were the first to introduce this site on wikipedia, I did notice today that there were over 15.000 additions recorded. Normally, redirect services get blacklisted .. on sight .., this one managed to escape our attention, but I had to blacklist this (as an explanatory example: the last 2 days we had on en.wikipedia.org a heavy spam attack of long-term spammers, who used redirect services to push their links). For further explanation, please see the external links guideline.

I have replaced the shortened links with the full links in the templates on en.wikipedia and nl.wikipedia (I expect the link to originate from the Dutch Wikipedia), and on a page on de.wikipedia. I don't know whether other wiki's also used the link (not on fr and on simple, at least), if so, I will be glad to help and replace them there as well. I am at the moment not capable to find them on other wikis since the database first needs to update all the transclusions on en and nl before it becomes obvious.

Mijn excuses voor het ongemak (maar daarom hebben we sjablonen op Wikipedia, die doen zo ongeveer hetzelfde, maar dan 'legaal'). Please let me know if you need any further help. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:39, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I have no idea what this means. The only external links I use regularly are to heritage websites, except for the commercial art auction service artnet. If you have a record of me leaving some sort of spammy link let me know, because probably I have caught some sort of virus on my computer. I do try to use templates whenever possible, such as Template:BPN and Template:Rijksmonument. I am sorry to hear there has been a spam attack originating from the Dutch Wikipedia, of all places! Jane (talk) 06:40, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK I see now that you mean the Wallonian heritage records site. As far as I know, I just copied the Dutch Wikipedia template (but it could have been the French one). Changing Template:Table row BE is the proper place, so there should be no other uses of those links anywhere else I know of. Thanks for your work. Jane (talk) 06:48, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I saw that you used it in the template, but I did not really know who put it there first or where (that is the problem with cross-wiki-copying). So probably someone on the Dutch or French Wikipedia then, not you.
The link is not 'spammy', just that we generally disallow the use of URL shortening services (and that because that type of sites get abused and are, almost by definition, 'useless' for Wikipedia). For as far as I can see, all that happened here was in good faith, and had nothing to do with ongoing spamming. No worries, all is solved, Wikipedia seems to be clean now. Hope to see you around, the link is used for a great cause! --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:13, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's good news! You had me worried. I agree it's a good cause and I have been thrilled to see the number of Belgian photo's rolling in during this year's WLM.

Hey Jane,

could you take a look at this user's contributions? I'm not sure if his added references should be considered unwanted self promotion.

I am not a very good translator actually. I put a tag on the page so someone from the translation group will pick it up. Good luck with it! Jane (talk) 21:59, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pieter van Mol, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Caracci (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.
