Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Victoria Joyce Ely, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Army Nurse Corps. 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, SusunW! Looks like the Rhonda Patrick article ended up being deleted. You can check out the AfD page for Spartaz summary, or, if you think you might have some salient points to add, maybe you'd join my appeal to Spartaz to reconsider! Thanks for the particularly numerous, well-thought-out points you made on the AfD and your contributions to the actual article itself. All the best... Snazzywiki (talk) 10:20, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, can you not find enough to start the remaining red links? The problem is a lot of them are highly referenced but lack much biographical info about them I guess. Just remove the ones you think you can't start from the Intertranswiki list and I'll archive November.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:07, 30 November 2015 (UTC) Dr. Blofeld On the scientists, I cannot. There is a lot of stuff they have written, but nothing about them that I can find. So frustrating. I'll work on the schools a bit today. SusunW (talk) 14:34, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Yeah that's what I thought. There's a lot of scientist types who are very well cited but have poor coverage. I'll remove from the list, thanks for the work on the others!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:30, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I have some extra QPQs and thought I'd nominate this for DYK. Are you finished with it yet? Yoninah (talk) 23:05, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Yoninah You are amazing. Yes, I think I'm finished with her. Thank you. SusunW (talk) 23:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the co-credit. To be honest, I just did a few edits and added one sentence. I was hoping to build up my DYK nominations credits instead so I could reach the 25 DYK noms threshold. Could I quietly remove the creation credit on this? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:21, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Yoninah You can if you want, I certainly don't want to cause a problem. What's a 25 DYK nom threshold? SusunW (talk) 00:38, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

There's a statistics page that recognizes frequent contributors to DYK. This list is divided into creation credits and nomination credits. Each list requires a minimum of 25 credits to sign up.

By the way, when you added my name to the line that says "Created by..." the bot wouldn't have given me any credit. You must add a credit line below that (this is only visible in the edit window), to where it says {{DYKmake|Victoria Joyce Ely|SusunW|subpage=Victoria Joyce Ely}}, adding another line with my name in it. Best, Yoninah (talk) 15:13, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

It is interesting. You may like see and add. I was totally engrossed with posting articles on Asia Month project.--Nvvchar. 12:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Nvvchar Thank you. Totally fascinating. Enjoyed it as my morning read with coffee :) SusunW (talk) 16:02, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks for the edits. Can you suggest a hook?Nvvchar. 08:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks for the nomination. Hooks are very nice.Nvvchar. 16:07, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

On 2 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tebello Nyokong, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The fact was ... that Idelisa Bonnelly pushed for the first humpback whale sanctuary to be established and was inducted into the Global 500 Roll of Honour of UNEP for her defense of the environment?

Can you find any better sources for this Template:Did you know nominations/Anupama Kundoo? I don;t known what the problem is in this Template:Did you know nominations/Susan Maxman.Nvvchar. 06:22, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Nvvchar I added two sources to Kundoo. My guess is that the tag related to the use of Linked-In. I'm kind of like Ian, it doesn't automatically make it a bad source is you can back up the linked-in claims in other non-involved sources, but rather than argue, I just found a different source. She has never been employed at Cornell, so isn't involved, was a juror in a contest and they gave her credentials. Also fixed the timeline on her work in the last paragraph. I think you should now be good to go. Will look at Maxman in a bit. SusunW (talk) 14:45, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Nvvchar I did a double blind copyedit on Maxman, meaning I did not open the sources so there is no chance copied from them and I did it twice to make sure. That tool Victuallers is using is still picking up on names. I asked him to relook at it. I mean, the names of her children are the names of her children. The name of the Girl Scouts is their name. The name of the awards she won is the name of them. So yes, they match the source. But no text, other than a quote which is marked as a quote matches. Hopefully, he will see that. Good luck! Let me know if I can help further. SusunW (talk) 04:49, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Will you kindly have a look at this Template:Did you know nominations/Fortifications of Xi'an and do the needful.Nvvchar. 17:03, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Nvvchar No problem. It'll be sometime today. SusunW (talk) 20:06, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Nvvchar Okay, I think you are good to go. SusunW (talk) 03:44, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your work improving Fortifications of Xi'an - your prose is excellent! --Yeti Hunter (talk) 05:06, 3 December 2015 (UTC) (DYK reviewer)

Thank you Yeti Hunter. @Nvvchar: and I make a pretty good team. We've worked together on quite a few articles and I try to do blind editing on them, if he asks for my input, so there is no chance of any copyvios. Once he has them sourced, we trust each other to improve the files. We are half way across the globe from each other so sometimes we can access different sources for improvement. It's a collaboration that has worked well for us. :) SusunW (talk) 05:19, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Did I understand correctly that you have offered to draft an article for Signpost? If so, that's great. If you want any help, just let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 13:47, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

No. I actually said the opposite. I will be glad to help if someone wants to write something. SusunW (talk) 14:15, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Pity. I think an article written by a woman would be far more effective.--Ipigott (talk) 21:55, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

I just know from what Rosie described she wanted, I don't have the ability. I have no idea how to include the laundry list of things she wanted included and I don't want to be listed by name in the Signpost. At least with a regular WP article, I have some degree of anonymity, but I have seen what happens to those who put their names out front on here and I don't want to be that woman. I have never been one that craves the limelight. SusunW (talk) 22:33, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Ipigott I see that I failed to ping you, which is maybe a good thing, as I noticed on another page that Sue, (aka megalibrarygirl) has agreed to work on it. SusunW (talk) 22:36, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Megalibrarygirl That's great news. I you need any help, just let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 07:46, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Carry-over from Matilda Lăcătușu AfD. I'm afraid you didn't get my observation about consequential work "surfacing", e.g. being translated, which is just as demonstrative of notability as citations. Such work becomes known far beyond the borders of wars and disasters. Your claim that "there is absolutely no point in creating a biography which recaps the brief biological information" is non-sense: a stub of a notable person, even with just "brief biological information" is far more important to WP than 10 articles of obscure, non-notable individuals. And, as to: "I would never create a stub on WP. It is the fastest route to getting a file deleted that I know", you should know that much of WP is actually comprised of stubs – these do not get deleted if the subject is notable. You might wish instead to view stubs as placeholders that invite expansion...Agricola44 (talk) 23:26, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Agricola44 Thanks for your input. What I actually prefaced the above quotation with was "Unless absolutely unavoidable..." In addition to my own creation of articles, I have expanded approximately 10 stubs per month to start class, but the truth of the matter is it is much easier to work on an article from scratch than to redo someone else's work. I produce a lot of documented content and occasionally look at an AfD if it comes into my radar. I typically avoid them, as they become drama-filled. Just because I defend an article at AfD does not mean that I would write that article. It means that in my estimation, it meets WP guidelines for inclusion. There are many articles on here that aren't remotely "encyclopedic" but fit the guidelines. I try to improve them. Others delete. That's the way that it is. I find it difficult that you engage by insulting people repeatedly. We work differently. That's okay, it isn't "non-sense." We shall agree to disagree. SusunW (talk) 23:56, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Yesterday evening I started translating from sources from the French Wikipedia. Any way you have already written a very nice article. However, I have added some text and an img from two sources. PL verify if my translated version is OK. Thanks.--Nvvchar. 02:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Nvvchar Your additions are great. Once I realized she was actually Croatian, I worked from the Croatian article. Amazing what different sources we have access to. I asked Ian to look it over, as I was not entirely sure of the Italian translations. I love that factoid that the beatification started on the anniversary date of her oath. How cool!

Coming along nicely. Can you or/and Rosiestep find more on Absinthe, PussyCat Dolls Lounge and OMNIA? I think we can get this to GA and it'll be worth it. I had rather hoped that Miyagawa would have been up for it. He did Cal Neva!♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:50, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Dr. BlofeldWill try to look at it later this evening. Weeded through the last of the restaurants last night. Wish I could've found more on Bobby Flay's, but surprisingly I could not. SusunW (talk) 21:26, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for that. There's plenty on the restaurants now I think! There should probably be more on the casino stuff too considering that it's one of the world's elite casinos, but I've made a decent start with a Vegas gold box!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

If you or Yoninah find some good lengthy quotes they can always go in gold boxes in the restaurant section anyway. I think there's enough though as it is. The Forum Shops could also use more detail I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:14, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, been on holiday for a few days. I had started to do some edits on Saturday night but promptly got dragged out of the hotel! :) Miyagawa (talk) 23:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Maybe tomorrow. Today has been a long day. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:28, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
