Women in RedHi there, Oulfis, and welcome to Women in Red. On the basis of your fascinating first two articles, it looks as if you are going to be a useful member of the project. Although you seem to have gained considerable expertise in Wikipedia editing, if you intend to create more women's biographies you may find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. As for your queries in connection with AFC, I would certainly encourage you to create your new articles directly on mainspace (or start them in your user space and move them to mainspace when you think they are ready). Please let me know if you run into any problems or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:33, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Re: Helping with articles on Roman womenHi, Oulfis. Thanks for showing interest in mining Marie-Therese Raepsaet-Charlier's work for articles. Here are my suggestions. Writing biographical articles for the early Roman Empire really aren't that much different from writing them for later periods; people are born, they receive some education, get married, have a career, have children, & die. The problem is that -- more for women than men -- a lack of information. Classicists can work around this lack of information to some degree thru careful extrapolation from what we know -- have a look at Ignota Plautia as one example of determining the existence of someone we otherwise have no evidence existed -- but far too often all we can do is offer a brief sketch of an individual, if that. So don't be discouraged that there might not be enough information about someone; sometimes just providing a few basic facts is enough. As an example of what can be done about women, let me recommend Sarah B. Pomeroy's The murder of Regilla: a case of domestic violence in antiquity, (Harvard University Press, 2007). While I have a few quibbles with Pomeroy's book, I cannot deny the fact that she took a tiny bit of information -- barely a paragraph in one book -- & used it as the base to reconstruct a reasonably detailed profile of an upper-class woman of the 2nd century. (And I'll also admit the book is a good read. Better than some historical works I've tried to slog thru & failed.) One thing Pomeroy did was to work with evidence of similar people of the time -- she has a chapter about how women were raised in 2nd century Rome -- as well as explain some of the expected events in Regilla's life. As for writing articles, I'd suggest either starting with adding material to existing articles, or with any entries in Raepsaet-Charlier's work that are reasonably detailed. I'll warn you now: some entries will be little more than a name & some speculations. Inevitably there will be issues of Notability; I say trust your instincts on that score, & if the article ends up at AfD, let me & others know. (At worst, we'll figure out a way to salvage the content & add it to another article.) If you want a guide to how much material is needed to make an article, have a look at any of the articles on Roman consuls I wrote -- the less familiar the name, probably the better for what you are doing. If you don't understand some of the terminology, feel free to either ask me or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome. I'll admit I sometimes don't understand what I'm writing about, or only learn later the significance of something mentioned in one of my sources. Or, perhaps most important, don't realize that an article needs to explain something in more detail. I look forward to seeing what you can make of this work. And thanks again for volunteering to tackle this! -- llywrch (talk) 00:31, 7 March 2020 (UTC) This week's article for improvement (week 11, 2020)

Kubla KhanHi Oulfis, I would like to nominate the article Kubla Khan to good article status, after a few more edits. As you're one of the primary contributors, I though that I should A), inform you, and B), before I do go ahead and nominate it, would you be willing to perform a source check? Since you used mostly offline sources, and my library is closed, I don't have access to any of them. If you can't, just let me know, but if you would be willing to that would be great. If we could co-nom for GA, that would be great too. Thanks. Aven13 12:57, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
ColonsHi. Per your edit summary here, I wanted to explain what the problem is with the colon in this instance. You are correct that a colon can be used to initiate a quotation if the introductory sentence is a fully independent clause, and you are obviously right that the introductory clause here could stand as independent. However, in the sentence in question, Travers is arguing a specific point, meaning that the quotation is actually integrated as part of what he's arguing; in this usage, "argued" and "argues" are being used as what MLA describes as "verbs of saying". See the Introducing Quotations section here. To use a colon in this spot, you'd have to expand the introduction into something like "Travers' Rolling Stone review argued that the purpose of family was central to the film:". This is a fine point of grammar that even many otherwise solid grammarians have some difficulty with, including me until I was corrected on it at one point. :) Grandpallama (talk) 13:36, 25 June 2020 (UTC) July 2020 at Women in Red

Re - Draft:Underneath a Harlem MoonHello Oulfis. Thank you for your encouraging words in response to my first Draft:Underneath a Harlem Moon.
