[edit]Hello! Thanks for requesting the book! I've expanded the Tomassa article and added the image. I went through the table of contents and at least thirty are not currently on en:WP! I will try to at least add them to Wikidata. At your leisure, could you send portions on Sippia Paul Hull, Mildred Cleghorn, Wah-Pah-Ho-Ko, and Aunt Minerva? I'll try to edit those as time permits.

- @TJMSmith: No problem at all—check your email! Like I said earlier, I can hang onto the book until February, so don't hesitate to ask for more scans! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 02:58, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Whenever you have a chance, could I get a few more parts, Harriet Patrick Gilstrap, Jane Austin McCurtain, Rhoda Pitchlynn Howell, Louise Davis McMahon, Sallie Lewis Stephens Sturgeon. TJMSmith (talk) 01:14, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- @TJMSmith: Do you still want me to hold onto this? I have no problem keeping it longer—just let me know when you've seen all you need. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 05:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- You can return it. Thank you for the scans! They helped me edit ten articles! TJMSmith (talk) 13:46, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
DYK for Allison Reese
[edit]On 7 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Allison Reese, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Allison Reese has received millions of views for her impressions of Kamala Harris? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Allison Reese. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Allison Reese), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Your opinion on images
[edit]Just had a quick question about the Classic Images source you sent me. What do you think the copyright status is of the images in the publication? I would think they're not copyrighted to the source itself, but I'm also not seeing anything attributing the images to someone else. I'm wondering if at least some of them are public domain. SilverserenC 00:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Silver seren: Unfortunately, unless something explicitly indicates otherwise, we generally assume all images are copyrighted. I don't see anything for these that would suggest they're in the public domain. However, once your draft is live, unless you can find a freely-licensed image of Eve, you could probably justify using a low-quality version of one of these images as fair use under our non-free content policy. (Since she is dead, it is now impossible to take a new, freely-licensed photo.) I recommend reading through that policy, and you can likely use
{{Non-free use rationale biog}}
. Let me know if this all makes sense! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 03:50, 8 November 2024 (UTC)- It does, thanks. I've done that with a fair number of biographies, I was just hoping there would be a free option among these. It is interesting that the publication doesn't give any form of attribution for all the different photos. I guess there's little risk of them being sued at this point though.

Hello, explain to me in simple terms how to make templates please.
[edit]I just want to know.Spongebob796 (talk) 01:15, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Spongebob796: That really depends on what you're trying to accomplish—could you elaborate a bit more? A template is generally just a special tag that gets replaced with some wiki code written with the same syntax as anywhere else you'd edit here. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 01:18, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks Bsoyka—you do so much there, I thought I'd save you a job when I can! (but you mostly get there first anyway!) Cheers, SerialNumber54129 15:16, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Again no worries! Your help means people can get resources quicker, and it saves me a trip to the library! Much appreciated. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 15:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Question from PNWPunkFan (19:44, 13 November 2024)
[edit]Hello! So nice to meet you. How do I create a citation? --PNWPunkFan (talk) 19:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- @PNWPunkFan: Hey there! I'll send you over to Help:Referencing for beginners—that should help you get started. Happy editing! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 23:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you!! Appreciate your help with this and mentorship. PNWPunkFan (talk) 23:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Question from PolarRailfan7068 (00:50, 15 November 2024)
[edit]Dear Mentor, I have a brief inquiry. If an individual were to substitute an image with another that is a drawing created by a different artist, and that individual possesses the necessary permissions and is aware of the copyright implications, is it possible for the new image to lack any associated files, given that it is a drawing? --PolarRailfan7068 (talk) 00:50, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
