Welcome Chocmilk03!

Thanks for all the author bios. Good work! If you've got any questions, please ask (here's good). Schwede66 02:27, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much! It’s been quite fun - discovered some new favourites in the process. Think I’m picking things up as I go but I’ll definitely be in touch on here if I have any questions :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 08:17, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Chocmilk03, and welcome to Women in Red. I see that over the past two or three weeks you have created quite a number of biographies of NZ writers, including several about women. You seem to have grasped the essentials of Wikipedia editing but if you now want to concentrate on women, you might find it useful to browse through our Ten Simple Rules and our Primer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:13, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ipigott! I certainly hope to do more in this area, and those are really useful links. Much appreciated. Chocmilk03 (talk) 12:56, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect

Hi there! I've noticed you working on NZ literature. If you found yourself at a loose end and wanted to help with Eleanor Catton or The Luminaries, that would be great. I'll be adding bits to them over the next couple of weeks. Cheers, Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 03:10, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Giantflightlessbirds: Sure, very happy to help! Such a great book. Is there anything in particular that needs attention? Chocmilk03 (talk) 08:48, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My additions have all been stitched together from news sources, so could do with an edit so they flow better. I'm trying to find a recent citation for when Catton moved to the UK. And with The Luminaries more critical discussion would be good (LRB? New York Review?), and a fuller account of the origins and the writing of the book. I'll be adding photos of locations mentioned in the book from local museum collections. Also I haven't even looked at the TV adaptation article, which could do with being made consistent with the other two, and some of those sources can be carried over into it. Ta! —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 09:23, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, all makes sense! Will tinker around. I have started re-reading the book which may slow me down a bit, haha (I read it & loved it back in 2013, but that was awhile ago now). Just to highlight that I am a bit nervous about the paragraph I've just added about critical reception — seems potentially controversial and might need more thought.

Hi there! I just have a quick question about naming conventions. Whilst Lexie Matheson's full name is Alexandra Mary Raine Matheson, if you google that you get almost no results, and she is known as Lexie. I wonder if it would be worth just changing the name in the lead to Lexie Matheson, and put her full name in the infobox? I tried to look at the naming conventions, but couldn't find anything that meets this scenario! Thank you. Nauseous Man (talk) 20:41, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@

MOS:FULLNAME

which states:

While the article title should generally be the name by which the subject is most commonly known, the subject's full name, if known, should usually be given in the lead sentence (including middle names, if known, or middle initials). Many cultures have a tradition of not using the full name of a person in everyday reference, but the article should start with the complete version in most cases.

For example the page

MOS:NICKNAME

. Although if you did think there could be any doubt and wanted to add it back in, the way to format it would be Alexandra Mary Raine "Lexie" Matheson (note the nickname is put before her last name in quotation marks, which are not bolded). Remember also that 'Lexie Matheson' will be right up the top as the name of the article, as well as at the top of her infobox, so it should be fairly clear to people who the page is about.

Does that help / answer the question? Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:54, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chocmilk03: absolutely! Thanks so much for the clarification. I will leave it as is, and see what the reviewer thinks about it. I'm surprised that there's a two month window for it to be reviewed! Thanks for your help and kind words! Nauseous Man (talk) 23:40, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
