Potential source

@Mariah Harned: This is a called a ping. It should have given you a notification. Anyways, it's a good way to get someone's attention. I thought it might be useful to show you :)

In general, it's really important that content in biographies of living people is cited to a reliable source. You've done a really good job with that so far and I'm impressed. I don't speak Spanish, but I think that this source could be useful: La profesión reconoce a la microbióloga Miren Basaras su labor realizada durante la pandemia. A cursory glance seems like it could be used as a reference, if the source is saying what I think it's saying. Again, I can't be absolutely certain because I don't speak Spanish. What do you think?

Nice! That looks like it will be useful. Before I could only find a few articles with Basaras talking about COVID-19, but this reference confirms that she was actively helping with the pandemic. I'll have to add it in to the article. To tell the truth, I haven't actually hunted down any new biographical sources so far, lol. I just copied them over from the Spanish wikipedia.

Mariah Harned, that's completely understandable. I did the same thing when I was first translating articles. I'm glad that the source that I found was actually useful! Clovermoss (talk) 11:51, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
