Current project[edit]

I am preparing to help host the Cornell University node, Wikipedia : Art + Feminism edit-a-thon on March 5, 2016 in Ithaca, NY. I work for the Cornell University Library, and will try my best to maintain a neutral point of view and avoid conflicts of interest in any work I undertake in Wikipedia.

A tag has been placed on Jane bissell grabhorn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Jane Bissell Grabhorn article[edit]

Hello, was just reading the Irene Wellington article and saw your draft of this. Although I know nothing about the topic, it might interest you to know that there are a lot of oral history transcripts and other materials about the Grabhorn Press on the Internet Archive that I found while looking for pictures for another article: some oral histories here (seven separate interview transcripts, including a photo near the start of this volume), and also a lot of book digitisations here. Sorry for butting in before this draft is finished, but I wasn't sure if you'd seen these. Blythwood (talk) 00:09, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Control copyright icon Hello Unionpearl, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Claire Holt (art historian) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:16, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open![edit]

Hello, Unionpearl. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Event page[edit]

Hello, I hope this event goes well. Just a recommendation - when you create an event like this, it's best to add categories for the event so it can be tracked (I've done this), and add it to the calendar and template. This allows people to find and track it, and also will likely increase the likelihood of remote support from experienced contributors who can correct mistakes on pages created and give feedback to new contributors. Hope this is helpful to you, let me know if any thoughts or questions. Blythwood (talk) 00:51, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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 Edna Beilenson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://librarianofbabel.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/bookmaking-on-the-distaff-side/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. TopCipher (talk) 20:41, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Unionpearl: Undoubtedly & unquestionably, this is my bad; an error on my end for tagging it as copyvio! I come across A LOT of articles which violate copyright guidelines and this one too got caught up amidst that, just hadn't noticed it was a quote which threw the error. My apologies & appreciate your understanding towards the same. Thanks.

Art+Feminism Outreach Dashboard Interview[edit]

Hi Unionpearl, my name is Maudite (Candela) and I am working together with WikiEducation in improving the Outreach Dashboard that is commonly used for the Art+Feminism Program (https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/). I have seen you are an active contributor and also have been instructor in several programs. Currently I am trying to perform some user interviews to talk about some of the features that we have implemented and understand better your needs. Also, I would like to create a include a new feature to the dashboard that could help the creation of drafs and common writing, specially for those articles that could be difficult to write due to the lack of resources in the mainstream media. I am sure that you have a lot of valuable feedback that could mean a lot to us and the future users of the dashboard.

I would like then to have a videoconference with you if you don't mind, but I am also ok with talking through email if you don't like that mean of communication. Please let me know what works best for you and of course if you would be interested in talking to me.

Thanks a lot in advance and have a great week.

Best, Maudite — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mauditecandela (talkcontribs) 13:54, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Maudite. That sounds interesting! Yes, we can videoconference, perhaps on Friday? I have a very full schedule tomorrow. Best, Susette. Unionpearl (talk) 22:17, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wonderful Unionpearl, can you please contact me through [email protected] so we can arrange an appointment?

idea for a list to add to the editWikipedia4BlackLives outreach dashboard[edit]

Hello,

I was just looking at the editWikipedia4BlackLives outreach dashboard [1] and was looking at the Lists pages included as suggestions there. The June 10 event looks really exciting.

I was looking for an Artists list, and didn't see one included, so I wondered if this List page could be added to the suggested lists at that campaign page? List of African-American visual artists [2]

Thanks for considering this suggestion!

Wikipersistence (talk) 18:03, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikipersistence. Great idea! I'll do that right now. Thanks so much for the suggestion! Unionpearl (talk) 19:08, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Art and Feminism Cornell University 2021, volunteer facilitator[edit]

Hi User:Unionpearl, I noticed this program and wondered if I may be of use. I am not a Cornellian but my sister is. I have a fair bit of experience as an editor, and I loiter in the Wikipedia newcomer help spaces, often introducing people to generic Wikipedia basics such as reference style, verifiability, and wikitext syntax. --Anon423 (talk) 12:19, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Anon423, thank you so much!! we would love your help and participation! You definitely do not need to be a Cornellian. Here is the registration link for the zoom gathering next Monday. We will be there from 11 to 4, and if you're free at all during any part of that time, we'd be super grateful for your help! --Unionpearl (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. (Registered.) I can certainly be available until 3:30, and probably can make it to 4pm. Is there any particular kind of thing I'm expected to facilitate? I'll take a look at the links on the event page, but please let me know if there's anything else I should be familiar with. --Anon423 (talk) 17:19, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! Thanks so much. Can I sign you up on the Outreach Dashboard for the program? There isn't anything in particular. I think we'll just need to be reactive, because we never know who's going to show up and what they are going to want to work on. In the past, we've had to help people with a range of issues, from adding infoboxes to walking them through adding images with possible copyvio issues. Here's the guide we're using locally. --Unionpearl (talk) 17:31, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Outreach Dashboard: yes, though I already signed on there. On a related note, how are these programs usually advertised? I came from the wikimedia IWD Gender gap (advertised in a header), then had to go digging through an events calendar. I'm the type to dig thoroughly but it was mostly by chance I saw this. --Anon423 (talk) 18:36, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for signing up! We have advertised locally with the Cornell community and in Ithaca, but not really through Wikipedia, since there are so many Art + Feminism edit-a-thons going on internationally this month, and we didn't want to compete with them. Sorry you had to dig! It's a bit lower key this year than it has been in the past. --Unionpearl (talk) 19:38, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Ray Jayawardhana: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 20:28, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Gaia Octavia Agrippa, I would normally have done that, but the user in question did not have a user page, and seemed unlikely to use a user talk page. I will try your method in the future. Thanks for the advice. This particular user has added agent information to about 50 Wikipedia bios in the past 3 days. Not sure how to flag that kind of behavior. --Unionpearl (talk) 20:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
