Hi Headbomb and thanks for the question. Thinking long-term, 10, 20 30 years from now, it makes sense for our event pages to follow a sequential numeric naming convention vs. variations of naming conventions. Event duration... a few days (e.g. #1 and #2), a month (most of our events), a multi-month campaign (#9), or even a year shouldn't determine it's naming. --Rosiestep (talk) 22:30, 5 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-05T22:30:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2019-01-05T22:30:00.000Z-Headbomb-2019-01-05T20:43:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Wiki Loves Love (WLL) is an International photography competition of Wikimedia Commons to subject love testimonials happening in the month of February 2019.

The primary goal of the competition is to document love testimonials through human cultural diversity such as monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture, and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love; to illustrate articles in the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects. February is around the corner and Wiki Loves Love team invites you to organize and promote WLL19 in your country and join hands with us to celebrate love and document it on Wikimedia Commons. The theme of 2019 is Festivals, ceremonies and celebrations of love.

To organize Wiki Loves Love in your region, sign up at WLL Organizers page. You can also simply support and spread love by helping us translate the commons page in your local language which is open for translation.

The contest starts runs from 1-28 February 2019. Independent from if there is a local contest organised in your country, you can help by making the photo contest Wiki Loves Love more accessible and available to more people in the world by translating the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. See for an overview of templates/pages to be translated at our Translations page.

Imagine...The sum of all love!

Hi, I notice you're marking article quality based on ORES prediction? I went to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES but couldn't figure out how to do that.

• Melissa Bachman - marked Start, but I hope it's at least C
• The Feminists - marked Start, but I suspect it might be merely Stub
• Lavastorm - not marked, but I think it would be Start
• Somerville Journal - not marked, Start or Stub
• Rebecca Moore (scientist) - not marked, hoping it's at least C
• Never Again pledge - Stub ... or more? It's short, but there isn't that much more to be said
• Kathleen Hogan - Start?
• Creation Evidence Museum - C?
• Robin Oliveira - Start?
• Greg Hrbek - Start?

Hi, GRuban, and thanks for stopping by. I'd be glad to assess them. BTW, for more on ORES, take a look at this discussion and upload the tool if you wish.

GRuban Cool! I've assessed all of them on their talkpages. Several also needed some Wikidata TLC so I took care of that, too. In this regard, do you have this enabled: Preferences --> Gadgets --> "Show page description beneath the page title (not compatible with Page assessments gadget)"? If you do, it'll show you if the "Description" for the article is missing on the Wikidata item/page (e.g. so that you can pop over and add it). --Rosiestep (talk) 21:23, 8 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-08T21:23:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2019-01-08T21:23:00.000Z-GRuban-2019-01-08T20:59:00.000Z","replies":["c-GRuban-2019-01-08T21:33:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-01-08T21:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thank you! Added that gadget too. What do you use to decide between labeling something ORES says should be GA as B or C? I mean, I know you can't mark it GA without a real review, and I initially thought they should mostly be Cs or even Start, as above, but now that visions of potential green plus signs are flashing in my eyes, if there are obvious things that make the difference for you, I'd like to know, and maybe try for a GA or two, starting by adding those things! --GRuban (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-08T21:33:00.000Z","author":"GRuban","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-GRuban-2019-01-08T21:33:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-01-08T21:23:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2019-01-08T21:42:00.000Z-GRuban-2019-01-08T21:33:00.000Z"]}}-->

GRuban, IMO... The difference between B and GA is in small details, e.g. there are sufficient refs, imgs, the prose is well-written; the article just needs some amount of additional attention. A C-class article is a Start-class article which has been beefed up in quantity/quality of refs, prose, images, headers, ELs, and so on. Truth be told, I've created just shy of 5,000 new articles, so at this point, I can eye-ball the difference better than explain it. --Rosiestep (talk) 21:42, 8 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-08T21:42:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2019-01-08T21:42:00.000Z-GRuban-2019-01-08T21:33:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I am working on an article you will love, but I have a problem. Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral, New York is NOT the same church as St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral, New York and the redirect page banner has me confused as to what I should do. The St. Nicholas Antiochian Cathedral was established in 1895, at a location on Washington Street in Lower Manhattan, then moved to Pacific Street in 1902. In 1920 the congregation relocated to a building which was formerly an Episcopal church at 355 State Street in Brooklyn.[1] Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral is the home of a congregation which was founded in the early 1890s on Second Avenue and in 1899 began a building fund with seed money from Czar Nicholas for a new Cathedral, which was designed by John Bergesen and completed its constructed in 1902 at 15 East 97th Street in Manhattan.[2],[3] How do we fix this?

Hi SusunW. Lovely problem for a Thursday afternoon. :) So I deleted the REDIRECT verbiage on the page page in question; and added 1 sentence, 1 image, and 7 categories.

Well, I have enough there with the NYC landmark and head of the Russian Orthodox church in the US to confirm its notability. Hopefully someone will come along and expand the article. You can imagine my confusion, I spent like an hour trying to figure out what the heck was the problem. At any rate, I am not gonna finish Frothingham tonight. Gotta go feed the hubby. Wish I knew if she died in Guéthary, or some other place in France, but so far no clues as to where.

I discovered her when working through a IWSA book listing conference delegates on the suffrage redlink page. Took me forever to piece together that she was the daughter of Sima Lozanić, but once I made that connection...the rest is history ;) SusunW (talk) 00:37, 11 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-11T00:37:00.000Z","author":"SusunW","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-SusunW-2019-01-11T00:37:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-01-11T00:32:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2019-01-11T00:52:00.000Z-SusunW-2019-01-11T00:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

SusunW, It's interesting to me to see the Americanized spelling of Serbian (e.g. Helen Losanitch Frothingham) and Croatian surnames. In the early part of the 20th-c, Serbian and Croatian surnames ending in "ić" were Americanized as "itch". In mid-century, Americanized Serb names were changed from "ić" to "ich" (like my maiden name), while Croatian surnames kept the original ("ić") spelling. --Rosiestep (talk) 00:52, 11 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-11T00:52:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2019-01-11T00:52:00.000Z-SusunW-2019-01-11T00:37:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2019-01-11T06:06:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-01-11T00:52:00.000Z"]}}-->

As close as I can tell, she Anglicized the spelling before she ever came to the U.S. Her dad was an ambassador in London and she was using Losanitch as early as 1913, but didn't come to the U.S. until 1915. I did wonder if she used Helène in France, but have no clue.

SusunW, Helen's article is wonderful! I found a lot of other images of her at newspapers.com. Ok if I upload them? Don't want to step on your toes if you've started that process.

Helen's article has taken me down the Category:Recipients of the Order of St. Sava rabbit hole. Going through the sr-wiki category list in search of women recipients, so far, I've created articles on Draginja, Teodora, and Eva. But now it's Katherine who's got my attention. The translation of the very long article from the sr-wiki is slow-going, but good for my brain. The cool thing is that as she's Scottish, there are quite a few English language sources, too. The images in the Serbian article are real gems, but unfortunately, the uploader didn't provide a lot of metadata. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:51, 12 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-12T19:51:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":10,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2019-01-12T19:51:00.000Z-SusunW-2019-01-11T06:06:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2019-01-12T20:11:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-01-12T19:51:00.000Z"]}}-->

I posted her so you could add whatever you like. One of the documents (in Serbian) also says her husband received numerous decorations from Serbia and then of course, there is that lovely lovely photo of her sister. I am hoping that if someone writes those articles, we might discover more about Helen. So odd how you get a clue in one place and it turns out the person was somewhere else entirely :) I had no idea when I started Helen that she would marry an American (before the Cable Act, so automatically becoming an American citizen) or live/die in France. :) SusunW (talk) 20:11, 12 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-12T20:11:00.000Z","author":"SusunW","type":"comment","level":11,"id":"c-SusunW-2019-01-12T20:11:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-01-12T19:51:00.000Z","replies":["c-SusunW-2019-01-12T20:38:00.000Z-SusunW-2019-01-12T20:11:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi Kenirwin and thanks for reaching out.

Valereee, thanks for stopping by. If more references or ELs are available, I'd add whatever is appropriate from them (but maybe there aren't additional ones?). I'd move the findagrave to Wikidata before someone else does. I'd also add her VIAF and LoC identifiers to Wikidata, and run her through mix'n'match which might bring up other identifiers. There are quite a few green links, and you might want to turn them blue. Where there are two inline references at the end of a sentence, you might want to put them in numerical order.

No worries! I truly feel like I'm so far behind some people in what they know about Wikipedia vs. me. But I keep writing anyway, and figure if no one stops me, I'm doing something write, and they can fix whatever I might be doing wrong. Lol.

• I removed the findagrave as it's already on Wikidata (where it belongs.
• I reversed the order of two of the refs in the "Early life" section so that they are in numeric order when viewing the article (they are in alpha order if you're in edit mode). Check out the Edit History; hopefully that will make more sense.
• I went to viaf.org and put her name in the search box. After I click Search, I saw that a link did appear for her not everyone has a presence in VIAF and I clicked her link. She has three identifiers: her VIAF ID is 77992582; her ISNI (click the blue square logo) is 0000000032220754; her Library of Congress (click the American flag icon) is n93064222. So now I hop over to her Wikipedia article, click the Wikidata link in the left column, and scroll down the page till I get to the Identifiers section, where I click "add statement". I search/click VIAF and paste in the VIAF number, and save. Repeat for ISNI. Repeat for Library of Congress. Then refresh the Wikidata page before returning to the EN-WP page.
• Added occupation ↠ writer. Jane023 convinced me to do that for all women writers, e.g. in addition to the sub-occupation of journalist. Added country of citizenship ↠ United States of America.
• Then I went to mix'n'match, made sure I was logged in, then pasted her name into the search box, and clicked Search. The message: No matches found. Oh, well. Sometimes, you'll get a whole bunch of additional identifiers through mix'n'match.

Hope this was helpful and not overwhelming. I learned almost all of this when I sat next to someone who showed me the ropes. Not so easy to learn it reading instructions on my talkpage. Mostly, don't worry about it if it's gobbly gook as in the grand scheme of things, all of this is unimportant compared to the actual article-writing which you're doing. Though, the edits I made did raise the ORES score from 3.82 to 3.83; whoopie! :) --Rosiestep (talk) 00:39, 1 February 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-02-01T00:39:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2019-02-01T00:39:00.000Z-Valereee-2019-01-31T23:20:00.000Z","replies":["c-Valereee-2019-02-01T21:20:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-02-01T00:39:00.000Z"]}}-->

Ok, I followed to viaf.org, and I searched on her, and I see that info, and I see in the wikidata listing on her page that you've entered it there. What does that do for us? I've read the introduction multiple times and I'm afraid I still don't understand. Somehow it helps reduce editing load? Sorry for being a pest. I'm totally willing to learn this stuff and include it in any articles I'm writing, I just am trying to figure out not only how to do it but also why so I'll know when I should do it. valereee (talk) 21:30, 1 February 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-02-01T21:30:00.000Z","author":"Valereee","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Valereee-2019-02-01T21:30:00.000Z-Valereee-2019-02-01T21:20:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2019-02-01T23:00:00.000Z-Valereee-2019-02-01T21:30:00.000Z"]}}-->

Valereee, Wikidata is an open access, structured data, database. Adding authority control identifiers to a Wikidata item (e.g. a woman's biography) connects her Wikidata item with other international databases. Adding {{authority control}} at the bottom of the Wikipedia article makes (some of) the identifiers (which have been uploaded the Wikidata item) become viewable in the Wikipedia article. While this doesn't exactly defend WP:Notability, it does prove the subject of the article is a known entity in international databases. More about it here: Template:Authority control. --Rosiestep (talk) 23:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-02-01T23:00:00.000Z","author":"Rosiestep","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Rosiestep-2019-02-01T23:00:00.000Z-Valereee-2019-02-01T21:30:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

• Valereee: Thanks for developing this article so well. I see that there are a few more details, including a couple of interesting quotations, in Women Politicking Politely: Advancing Feminism in the 1960s and 1970s which you might like to take into account. As for Wikidata, I must say the interface has recently somewhat improved but editing is still not straightforward and opinions very on the application's usefulness. From the difficulties you express, I think your time would be better spent on Wikipedia itself. Your recent articles show how useful your are becoming as a contributor. May I suggest you also consider adding your biographies to pertinent lists: I've added this one to List of women writers and List of American print journalists. (I also added Zeola Hershey Misener to the List of suffragists and suffragettes.) You are doing a great job.

• Thanks Ipigott! I think you're right that I'm better off spending my time creating content rather than trying to figure out gnomish things. I always feel a little guilty if I haven't at least tried to get those details done, like I'm leaving a job half-finished, but maybe I shouldn't; WP is collaboration and there are people who enjoy and are good at that. Thanks for the source -- I hadn't even looked at that book because it's by the same author as one of the major sources I'd already used so I figured it probably didn't have any additional details, but I see that it does! valereee (talk) 11:55, 4 February 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-02-04T11:55:00.000Z","author":"Valereee","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Valereee-2019-02-04T11:55:00.000Z-Ipigott-2019-02-04T10:58:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Rosie you rock! I am about to waltz back over one of my edits because I just found out how to spell Chyron, yay! We need to link this to byline now for journalists, and ask for a property on Wikidata for this so we can show the gap between women and men journalists with chyrons on CNN for example.

Thanks! First of all this word itself is problematic. I suppose "xerox copy" started the same way. Basically, the chyron is a technical term and refers to the whole part of the screen including those running titles. Then there is (or not) a line somewhere with the name of the person talking. That in itself, is not the chyron journalists talk about. They mean the name+position in the sense of "First Lastname, CNN correspondent". We want to have a Wikidata property for this so that we can list the chyrons per person with dates. I guess it's not an occupation but an appointment. Getting a chyron is a big deal.

BTW, and you may have thought about this already, though it's not called a chyron (which is a TV news term), name+position is also added in a lower third-like way in documentaries (I'm watching one now).

On 10 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Inter-Allied Women's Conference, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Inter-Allied Women's Conference, which opened in Paris 100 years ago today, marked the first time women were granted formal participation in an international treaty negotiation (conference organizer Marguerite de Witt-Schlumberger pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Inter-Allied Women's Conference. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Inter-Allied Women's Conference), 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.

Hi Rosie, I just wanted to thank you for recommending those two scripts to me, especially Rater. I can't tell you how much time Rater has already me saved me in adding WikiProject ratings to articles. But actually, it has saved even more time in correcting classifications. And it even adds banners when needed. It takes care of the importance parameter too. It's awesome. But I do see what you meant about not always agreeing with the classification and that goes for both scripts. montanabw said to remember it's just a tool. So I'm using it, but being judicious regarding its recommendations. After all, it has recommended FA-class for one of my articles which hasn't even made it to GA-class yet...lol... anyway. I have also found the list of scripts and added other useful scripts to my script file. So, very helpful indeed.

I tried to bring attention to the unreasonably high GA and FA ratings on ORES to those responsible but there was absolutely no reaction. As more and more of us are using the tool, perhaps through your high-level contacts you could try to do something about it. A simple solution for the EN wiki would be to set the scores which lead to these ratings a bit higher.--Ipigott (talk) 10:42, 15 February 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-02-15T10:42:00.000Z","author":"Ipigott","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ipigott-2019-02-15T10:42:00.000Z-Rosiestep-2019-02-14T20:18:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rosiestep-2019-02-15T15:02:00.000Z-Ipigott-2019-02-15T10:42:00.000Z"]}}-->

Rosie, would you be kind enough to help me out by moving Draft:Alison Phillips into article space. My attempt was refused as there is already a redirect on Alison Phillips (which should probably be deleted or given another title). The article was refused on the grounds that Phillips was not notable. I cannot think of any post that is less notable in journalism than being editor of a large circulation daily newspaper.

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Victoria Clay Haley, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change.

No prob, Rosiestep.

Cleaning up Special:WantedCategories is one of the routine maintenance tasks I do, and I have recently taken to issuing wee notes in some cases to explain the issues a bit in case people don't spot why there is an issue. In your case I see it was just a typo (or, since it was a copy-paste thing, maybe a pasto?) of the sort we all make, so I needn't have bothered.
