List of female architectsHello again Sarah. I see your women's initiative is beginning to bear fruit, both with new articles and of course this list, including all your own additions. Maybe it would be useful for you to look at the discussions on the list's talk page as well as those on the talk page of WP Architecture. As you will see, despite my own initial suggestions, there now seems to be an understanding that red links should be avoided as far as possible. Short stubs should be added instead. The problem is that the purpose of a list is to inform readers rather than to assist developers. While you provide a book as a reference for your additions, it is not going to be an easy job to write bios just on this basis. A further suggestion was that red links could be added, for example to Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/List of female architects as a basis for future development. What do you think? - Ipigott (talk) 08:25, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
GLAM/Delaware Art MuseumPlease take a look at User talk:Dthomsen8/Draft articles/DMA as a second draft, with help from Smallbones (talk of redoing Delaware Art Museum#Collections. I have dropped some of the links in the original in redoing the whole section, and I am unsure if I am consistent in adding subsection and sub-subsection headings, but overall I think this is much better visually. Smallbones and I have been discussing this on both of our talk pages. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Re:AwardThank you!--Cattus talk 18:01, 7 February 2012 (UTC) Signpost and WikiWomen's History MonthHello Sarah, I noted with interest your comment about WikiWomen's History Month at the tipline; I'd be very interested in focusing coverage on this issue. Do you know of anyone who might be interested in contributing writing on the topic area? It would be great to have an opinion essay on the topic in the first issue of the month, especially since the issue of women and Wikipedia has dropped off the community's radar somewhat in recent months. Regards, Skomorokh 23:45, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Adding categories versus listsHi Genevieve. Thanks for contributing to the List of lists of women. However, I had to remove all of the categories you added, as they are not lists. You can learn more about the differences here: Wikipedia:Categories,_lists,_and_navigation_templates. Perhaps creating some cited lists with information about the subjects you added would be a good idea? As I know we could use more related to those subjects! Thanks!

Women and all thatFirst of all, thanks very much for remembering me on Valentine's day. All the very best to you too. You certainly deserve it. But what I'm really writing about is how you think we should go forward on improving the coverage of women. Writing biographies in connection with the List of female architects has convinced me that some of those pioneering and/or influential ladies should be included in other articles. I'm not too sure whether to start with an article on Women architects (covering especially those who also should as mid or high in WikiProject Women's History) along the lines of Women artists or to take a country by country approach. We also need to do something about Women sculptors based on the List of female sculptors. It might also be useful to add summary details to the names on the lists so that people can get a better overview of the coverage. Most of the names currently listed can mean very little to people living outside a given country. In any case, I think we need to do more so that enterprising people such as the Estonian Valve Pormeister (I've just been writing about her) get more than just a couple of dozen hits even for a new article. Any ideas? - Ipigott (talk) 08:43, 15 February 2012 (UTC) A beer for you!

Hello, wanted to clarify a revert.Regarding [this edit] of mine, I reverted it assuming good faith. I almost always add an explanation to my reverts but in this case I was unsure if this was vandalism or an error. Possibly neither, so I left it blank figuring it was self-explanatory. SusanBrownmiller (talk) is not a registered user, added to the project by an IP address stating they were adding themselves. Susan Brownmiller is also the name of an author of mild controversy, but not a factor in my decision to revert. It was a factor in my indecisiveness about explaining my edit as reverting vandalism. Please advise how one would proceed, if warranted. I am still learning the ropes here. Thanks! Ongepotchket (talk) 13:45, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for updating me about the Anne Triola /John Wayne photograph that I had uploaded on Dec. 23. It is listed as "File:Anne Triola & John Wayne photo.jpg." Its URL is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Anne_Triola_%26_John_Wayne_photo_-_Without_Reservations.jpg Anyway, Sarah. I got in touch with Warner Bros. plus Ms. Julie Heath and found out that this project was going to be a great expense. I can't get the copyright license for this photo. Maybe in three years, I will be able to afford one of Warner Bros.' expensive publicity stills for Anne Triola, but not right now. Y'all can delete the "File:Anne Triola & John Wayne photo.jpg" as I can't fund an expensive fee for the copyright licensing on the picture. That's why I went to less expensive methods as a backup plan to help my Anne Triola Wikipedia biography for the time being. This economy just will not help me out at this time. Again, thanks for updating me with your efforts with OTRS. I just know more now unfortunately. Again, thanks. Rod Hayes (talk) 01:04, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi again, Sarah. I saw that the administrator made his move to edit my Anne triola & John Wayne photo.jpg by dropping the license permission attempt tag. You know, I was pursuing getting that photo eligible for Wikipedia use via a PD US non renewed tag. They now have it tagged that way. They can keep it up that way if they choose to. I am totally OK with that. According to Ms. Julie Heath, Warner Bros. has actually lost that publicity still, and in my own mind - I think we are almost justified either way to keep or delete this photograph. I mean, Ms. Heath showed me three replacement stills for the John Wayne/Anne Triola photograph - and topping that off with the fact that RKO Studios Inc. became defunct in 1959, it almost begs for the case of "PD US non renewed." Again, they can go either way with this. Rod Hayes (talk) 02:56, 29 February 2012 (UTC) Northern Exposure
OTRS and non-free useI notice that you added an OTRS permission tag together with a non-free use tag at File:Arnold Leibovit.jpg. It seems peculiar to me to combine OTRS permission with the non-permission of non-free use. I looked but couldn’t find evidence that you are an OTRS volunteer. Can you point me to evidence and explain how OTRS combines with non-free use? —teb728 t c 03:01, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
File:Sudarshan bomb.jpgThe issue of copyright has already been decided by administrator User:Future Perfect at Sunrise.

This image has been released by the owner under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 UK: England & Wales (CC BY 2.0) Licence, which is also clearly mentioned in the source website, as noted by the adminstrator .

WP:TEAHOUSESarah - The idea of a controlled environment for responding to editor questions is, well, a bit orthogonal to Wikipedia traditions. But another tradition is to try different things, so I don't have any personal objection to the design of the Teahouse. May I be so bold as to point out, however, that an experienced editor coming to Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions sees absolutely nothing on that page that indicates that hosts, and not others, should be the ones answering questions? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 15:15, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Reverts on the WikiWomen's History Month PageHello, I reverted your edits because they are irrelevant to the event. We have a place holder currently there because Wikimedia France has interested in supporting an edit-a-thon regarding women's history. If you have concerns about French Wikipedia you can share them on the talk page for Wiki Women's History Month or at French Wikipedia, where it seems a conversation like that would be more valuable. Thanks for understanding, I am reverting your edits again, and I'd rather not "Edit war" about it. Thanks! SarahStierch (talk) 23:39, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Sarah, Just a reminder that the {{stub}} tag goes after everything except inter-language links (you'd put it above "External links"). See WP:FOOTERS. It just makes life easier for stub-sorters if the unsorted stub tag is in the right, predictable, place. Thanks. PamD 09:34, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Matthew Roth told me about the Teahouse when I talked to him on Sunday; I had not head about it before. Then there was an article and a link in the Signpost, so I went over there to take a look. It is very pretty to look at, and it seems as if it will really work to help out new people and make them feel welcome.
