Hi Mary! I see there are currently discussions on improving Kate Sheppard up to FA class. It's now rated B Class. If you are interested, you should perhaps liaise with Gadfium and Shudde. The first objective will of course be to bring the article up to GA. That process should give some indication of what more needs to be done. Maybe SusunW could also lend a helping hand.--Ipigott (talk) 12:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a little thing, I noticed you moved Dave Holland's entry to the 16th. I think normally entries are posted on the date of announcement if there's more than a three (ish) day difference between the announcement and the actual death. The 16th was already the second-to-last day when his death was announced, and it didn't give time for discussion. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 04:35, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I saw that you were a part of Women in Red and I hope you don't mind me asking a question. I believe that pageant winners are notable people, but unlike sports players I feel they're often considered "not important" enough, even though pageants are extremely important to a large part of the population, including mostly women. I was wondering if you knew of a way to get pageant winners added to Wikipedia's official notability guidelines? That way you don't end up with situations like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cherise_Haugen

In any case, I appreciate all the work you do, and I understand you must be very busy and may not have time to respond. Have a great day :) Lonehexagon (talk) 18:41, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for raising this. I think we could have more discussion in the Women in Red talk page, I'll copy your question over there later on. MurielMary (talk) 19:39, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article

reliable source

that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see

Kleuske, you prodded the article the very minute it appeared in mainspace. I don't know whether you have read Wikipedia:New pages patrol (NPP) but in case you haven't, it says near the top:

Care should be exercised when reviewing very new pages. Tagging anything other than attack pages, copyvios, vandalism or complete nonsense only a few minutes after creation may stop the creation of a good faith article and drive away a new contributor.

You can only comply with that if you look at the article history before doing anything. Had you looked at that, you would have seen that the article had been created that very minute. Advice elsewhere on the new pages patrol page suggests that you should wait 10 or 15 minutes since the last edit before you do anything. Please bear that in mind for future NPP.

@

WP:BLP), since the article did not contain any sources and it's a biography of a living person. That's followed by a seven day grace period in which sources can be added and the template removed. PSince I'm not a New Page Patroller, the blurb above does not apply. As an encore,, I you wish to berate me about my work here, I'd much prefer you do that on my talk page. Thanks.

Hey MurielMary, I saw that you're trying to improve this article and you pulled the PROD from it. As it stands, I'm inclined to take this thing to AfD. This is a BLP, and at the moment it's sourced to a press release and a conference bio. I don't think this article is long for the world with references like that. What do you think? If there's more good references out there I won't take it to AfD. A Train^talk 11:36, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for posting here. I agree that the article as it stands is poorly sourced, but I'm finding some interesting other sources which seem to suggest notability and I'm happy to do some work re-writing it. MurielMary (talk) 11:40, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
