Disambiguation link notification for October 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bettina Riddle von Hutten, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Neustadt. 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.

Hi, you up for this? Starts on October 15th. You can work on any woman on any African country ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:16, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

I'll try to do something, but I'm still in my #100wikidays through mid-November--that's priority till I finish.Penny Richards (talk) 22:26, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

I'll see if I can allow new articles on women to be included too. But they'd have to be minimum 1.5 kb, no stubs.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:10, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Been browsing the people stub categories and it's appalling how few women bios there are, worse than anywhere I've seen. As some countries barely have a couple of stubs I'm going to permit new articles on women too, but the articles have to be minimum 1.5 kb bios and no stubs! Women in Red should have some missing lists but if you could see to it that better lists are drawn up for the African countries I'll list them on the contest page/subpage.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:52, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

October 2016

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Jean Pond Miner Coburn. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! Zackmann08 (^Talk to me/_{What I been doing}) 16:55, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Gotcha! Looks much better now, and I appreciate the explanation.Penny Richards (talk) 18:24, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Africa Destubathon

Hi, thanks for your work so far! Can you do me a favour though and always add every entry you do to the main list here as well as the entries page, regardless if yet approved or not as that's the master list of all articles being done. It's just veyr time consuming for me to be judging the articles, trying to contribute myself and chasing up what people have done and filling it out for people each time. So if you can take care of that this would be a great help, there's some part filled out ones underneath so you just need to add country, article name and then you username. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Book

Hi Penny, there's another book being offered, African Women: A Historical Panorama. Would you like to receive it as a complimentary prize for your effort?

Hi, thanks for contributing to the US Challenge. Can you do me a favour and add the articles Rosie does to the list? Lots of interesting articles which would make good entries for the challenge.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:31, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Not sure how I'd easily figure out which ones she starts. Does she want them to be included?Penny Richards (talk) 19:52, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I think so, but like Aymatth2 I don't think Rosie wants to have to keep listing the articles there manually.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:02, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

It's a chore I don't particularly relish, either; I can do it for my own new articles, but my wiki time isn't abundant enough to do more than that right now.Penny Richards (talk) 15:41, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Loeb

Dear Penny, thanks for sending the code so quickly. However, after I have redeemed it, nothing has changed. I still get the message that I have reached my view limit. I do not quite understand why. Should I contact Loeb directly? Thanks! Zwerg Nase (talk) 10:27, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Zwerg Nase: It might be best for you to contact them first, to explain what you're seeing and doing. But if that's not effective, I'll check in with them too--if this is something that's happening to others I should find out why, anyway. Keep me posted about the outcome for you.- Penny Richards (talk) 14:18, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli

On 24 May 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli played the titular character in Carmen in 1907 with "the allurement of sheer wickedness", and was accidentally stabbed on stage? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Clotilde Bressler-Gianoli), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks

Thanks for your work. My goal is to create more articles on women playwrights and get attention to them. There is likely no good reasons for why people like Babette Hughes and Doris Frankel didn't have at least stub articles yet. SL93 (talk) 17:26, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Women In Red Page Needs Some Love

Thank you, Penny, for your support of women on Wikipedia! A page that was restored by the Women in Red Project is in urgent need of an experienced wiki editor to champion it. Unfortunately, a singular editor has made it his mission to undermine the page, and has marked the page for re-deletion. Sending this note in the hopes that you will join the conversation, and give a valuable woman’s voice a chance. Here is the page link.Thanks for all the good you do! A-voice-for-women (talk) 15:51, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

"A-voice-for-women" has posted similar messages asking for support to seven user talk pages. She is a new editor, and therefore presumably didn't know that this was contrary to Wikipedia:Canvassing, so I have posted to her talk page to let her know.

WP:MUSICALS

Hello. Thanks for your contributions. When you add an article about an actor or actress who primarily appeared in musical theatre (including pantomime, Victorian burlesque, the banner template for the talk page should be the one for the WikiProject Musical Theatre project, rather than the Theatre project. If he or she primarily appeared in Gilbert and Sullivan, there is a WP:Wikiproject Gilbert and Sullivan, which has its own templates. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:36, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

That's good to know, thank you! Penny Richards (talk) 19:10, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
