	Excellent expansion of the Francis B. Murdoch article, particularly regarding his role in litigating freedom suits and as a newspaperman... and then nominating it for a DYK. –CaroleHenson (talk) 23:26, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Francis B. Murdoch

On 12 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Francis B. Murdoch, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that lawyer Francis B. Murdoch filed one-third of all freedom suits in St. Louis from 1840 to 1847, representing Dred Scott, Harriet Robinson Scott, Lucy A. Delaney and Polly Berry, among others? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Francis B. Murdoch. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Francis B. Murdoch), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Verena Conzett

I have nominated the article and included you as a creator in the nomination so you get a credit for it. Feel free to suggest other hooks.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:48, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle Looks good, thank you! (Shortened slightly and added English source for ALT hook.) Just wanted to ask, is it supposed to appear under February 27 or February 20 on the DYK page? (Still figuring out how DYK works.) Cielquiparle (talk) 12:18, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Have now proposed a second ALT hook and gone ahead and moved the nomination up on the DYK page (to February 20). Cielquiparle (talk) 16:27, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How DYK works, we can always learn more. I guess the reviewer would like to trim the article a bit. And for the long run, the autobiography published in her own publishing house is a good primary source but wikipedia specifically prefers secondary sources. See WP:PRIMARY and WP:SECONDARY. Anyway, most of what I read in her own bio, I also read in the Treichler book (A secondary source), sometimes even in more detail than I found it in the article, so if this gets an issue we need to improve a bit on the sourcing. For example the text cited by the source of the pages 171-177 from the Conzett bio could be split, made more precise and supported with a secondary Treichler source. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:20, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Paradise Chronicle, have cleaned up and cut further. Let me know if you have any other questions / thoughts. May add a few more sources which may trigger further minor edits but will try to keep it simple. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anarchism

Hi Cielquiparle,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 17:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red

Hi there, Cielquiparle, and thanks for creating several well presented biographies of women. It seems to me you would be a useful member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are chipping away at the gender gap. You can do so by registering in the box at the top of our project page. But even if you do not join, I look forward to many more articles about women. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:55, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Ipigott! What does membership entail? Is it different from contributing articles? Cielquiparle (talk) 12:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are no firm obligations although we do of course encourage members to create articles about women and their works. As you probably know, less than 20% of biographies on the English Wikipedia are about women. Each month we put together two or three priorities on which we think it would be useful to work. We find it useful to help each other along and whenever possible we provide support to those who run into problems. We have a wide variety of redlists pointing to women who may deserve biographies. You can find out more about our activities and the support we offer on the main wp:Women in Red page and on its talk page, probably the most active of any wikiproject.--Ipigott (talk) 12:18, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Ipigott, will check it out. Out of curiosity, is membership what triggers automated newsletter delivery to one's User Talk page? Or is that triggered in another way? Cielquiparle (talk) 13:38, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish, I can add you name to our mailing list now but I'll certainly add it if you become a member. For the time being, you can see below our priorities for March.--Ipigott (talk) 15:24, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, @Ipigott. The whole reason I found my first WiR event in the first place was through this newsletter on someone else's Talk page. (So it did its job, amazing!) But now that I know how to find the events, I don't need the newsletter anymore, if that makes sense. That is one reason I haven't wanted to sign up as a member. It also took me a very long time to figure out that #1day1woman didn't necessarily mean you were signing up to create 1 new article a day, which I could never do. Anyway I have been nothing but impressed with what I've experienced so far through WiR. I'm just not sure I can commit to more than an event or an article here and there. Cielquiparle (talk) 17:24, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's fine but most members are far less active than you. Even if you join, if you don't want to receive the newsletter I can just leave your name off the mailing list. You can always see what we are doing under Events on our project page. If you haven't already done do, you might find it useful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies and some of our other essays. Just let me know if ever you run into difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:24, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of female American football players‎

Personally, I think the criteria need to be tight and include only those who either already have an article, or warrant one based on available coverage. When coverage is purely of local interest trivia, e.g. high school firsts & records, homecoming queens, etc., or independent sources do not go beyond passing mentions in routine coverage, the people should not be in the list. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 11:50, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Wjemather That was my original thinking as well. At one point, I was even on the fence if the high school section should even exist, given that so few of the players have Wikipedia pages (though as it turns out Maida's is just a stub even if having a movie made about you is notable).

After looking at what's there, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a different set of criteria just for the High school section. Without a doubt, Adults have to meet the normal standard of "notability". But for High school only, could we say:

Simply being a female player is not notable – there has to be something else establishing notability
High school firsts and records are not notable
County level firsts and records are not notable
League / conference level firsts and records are notable, if they are verifiable
State level firsts and records are notable, if they are verifiable
National / international firsts and records are notable
Certain awards are notable (mostly corresponding with above)

The other thing that has really given me pause while reviewing the page, is the fact that the list page itself has previously received media coverage, plus the fact that this page actually has historically had a lot of traffic. I think people are looking for these types of facts (see AV Club article here), there is interest in them, and we could provide them if they are verifiable and meet a certain standard of notability. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable but would just clarify that the source for verification should always be independent of the league/state/award/etc. and we should avoid woolly claims of firsts (e.g. "believed to be..."). The trouble with interesting facts (trivia) is they are very often not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 12:27, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Wjemather Yes thanks, will explicitly state the independent sources requirement in framing the criteria on the Talk page (personally I prefer multiple sources for most facts anyway). Point taken about not-a-trivia-almanac and avoiding woolly claims.

Will go back and and do another pass from the top. (Will probably add a few more notable high school players later but it would be a handful at most, no additional homecoming queens, and as USA Today notes, by 2017 female high school football players are not that uncommon anymore so it makes sense that notability is in some ways "harder" to achieve over time.) Cielquiparle (talk) 03:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes indeed. It's much easier to justify inclusion of those without articles when multiple good sources exist. Good work. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Wjemather: I just ordered The Women's Football Encyclopedia by Neal Rozendaal, so I'm all-in now. Unfortunately the most recent edition appears to be from 2016/2017 – we'll see how helpful it is once it arrives – but it seemed better than not having it at all. Whether this is technically TNT or not, it feels like taking a step back and looking from outside-in – what do the sources say, also about the bigger picture – can only lead to improvement.

Women in Red's Inspirer Award

Did You Know that your article about Olympic diver Millie Hudson, who attempted to swim across the Strait of Gibraltar in 1928, inspired an article about the Hammersmith Ladies Swimming Club and it complemented the article about Belle White, the first British diver to win an Olympic medal? More than this your article has hinted that history needs to be corrected and we are. Victuallers (talk) 18:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Beveridge

Continuing from the article's talk page, it took about 30 seconds to type the name into the google books searchbox, so no big deal! the Jersey press photos are a very good find, but the portrait doesn't look much like any of the others, so much so that I did wonder if the newspaper had mis-indexed it. However, I got tired of fruitless newspaper searches and for my own satisfaction did 5 minutes of original research - which of course can't be used for Wikipedia - and from this there is no doubt, despite the coincidences, that these were two different men. I'm very happy to share it if you'd like, but as said it would be of no use for the article, although it may (or not, of course) give you a springboard from which more easily to find appropriate secondary material, so let me know if you're interested. Ingratis (talk) 07:34, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds intriguing, thanks Ingratis! So tantalising yet frustrating that the Jersey Evening Post donated that massive photographic archive to Jersey Heritage, yet the digitisation of their newspaper archives remains incomplete for exactly the decades we would need. Another major avenue to explore is several decades' worth of Swimming Times magazine, which would require a lot of in-person library time (plus pre-ordering volumes in advance), but having done some of that recently I'm not sure I want to do it again just yet. My interest in this really just stemmed from wanting everyone to exercise more caution before jumping to the conclusion that two individuals with the same name (and same middle initial) necessarily are the same person, as in the past I have spent weeks untangling historical biographies that got completely confused, as in Shakopee (Dakota leaders), Zhaagobe, and Sha-có-pay (within those three articles are references to six confirmed individuals called "Six", plus a possible seventh, and there were easily others). Cielquiparle (talk) 08:38, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You were clearly right to be sceptical and it would been an odd combination. I've left a couple of notes at User:Ingratis/Temp page 2, mostly from the 1939 survey, which makes it clear that there were 2 different PHB's then in London. The diver was born just "Harry" but added the Peter, which was his father's name. He apparently died in 2002, but no information on where: his son's wife and child ended up in New Zealand. The policeman is certainly notable - I may put together a stub. I'm not sure whether civil registration indexes can be counted as secondary sources - lots of articles have them, but more extreme editors seem to like to delete them as OR - but the entries are available without subscription at freebmd<dot>org<dot>uk Ingratis (talk) 07:41, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am liking your bulletpoint list of issues with the article, @Mcb133aco! Still working through the list, but as I go through each point, I've also been checking your proposed rewrite of the page for more information, so please know that all the effort you put into the draft has not been wasted. It is clear that you have been reading critically across multiple related Wikipedia pages, which are in need of fixing as well. We still have a long way to go to get that page to Military history B-class, but if/when we get there, you will have definitely played an important role in that. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:35, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for compliment. The article has major flaws starting with the title, which I believe came from the MHS. When it comes to the War the MHS has a corrupted history that should be issue on Wikipedia. Another opinion is that the MHS has developed a Mdewakanton centric world view of the Dacotah. That alone highlights the issue of pov in what they publish and should challenge their status as a Wikipedia reliable source. Using the noun Dakota without the adjective Eastern is an issue that comes from the laziness of the MHS. The use of the noun alone, as a descriptor, is unacceptable on multiple levels. Beyond that, the article suffers from a sanitized vocabulary and censoring of historic facts. It's grading is inflated, if a C is average. A D+ or C- would be more accurate. In the area of Military History the war has become unique in that the loser has gotten both the name of the conflict changed as well what they are called in the narrative. Those things could be issues in grading the article. I also believe the other active editor on this article is a candidate for a a COI tag.Mcb133aco (talk) 20:17, 17 July 2022 (UTC)mcb133acoMcb133aco (talk) 20:17, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, @Mcb133aco: This is an article about a war and we will never make everyone happy. There is lots of room on the Internet for many points of view, but Wikipedia has to maintain a NPOV and a few of the issues you have raised on the list will be more challenging to work through. But it's a net positive for everyone to discuss, and we need to respect multiple perspectives while working through them. (I agree with your grading by the way.)

Mdewakanton-Wahpekute 38 +2

This article was submitted and rejected. The stated reason was that the Dakota War article covers the topic and that there had been no discussion for a stand alone article on the subject. Do you have any thoughts on that. Mcb133aco (talk) 16:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC)mcb133Mcb133aco (talk) 16:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize you were in a rush to submit. (You're running fast in a lot of directions, @Mcb133aco – I'm having trouble keeping up!) A better approach might be to work in Draft space (rather than User space), so that other editors can contribute and comment. A lot of good Military history articles start like that. My advice would be to cut the first half of the article, which does overlap a lot with the main Dakota War page, and focus on the trial and executions – or maybe the trial and the executions have separate pages. And/or, we can start with the List of the individuals who were executed first, which was my first suggestion to you, as a standalone page. Anyway, I think you need to prioritize a bit and make sure we're not introducing even more quality problems. It is July 21 now and we have ~10 more days left in August, which is when everyone starts looking up the Dakota War again and we'll see a spike in traffic. I think we should focus on checking and fixing all the Dakota War pages – the ones that need the most work are the main massacre pages (starting with Attack at the Lower Sioux Agency). For the executions, it would be good if we could have any new content published by December, so we have some time to get it right; it is a complex and difficult subject, which I think needs to be more of a collaborative effort. In the meantime, I'll keep working on the list of issues you flagged for the main Dakota War page. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:37, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rush is not a word I would use. I had a good deal of time into this article when the editor asked me to look at the War. I told them that the War would have to wait. When I had the 38+2 complete I encountered two view points. One that it was a stand alone subject while the other was that it should be rolled into the War. At that point I looked at the War and decided it would be simpler to combine the content. I do not see that as going in many directions, but that is my viewpoint. I have no knowledge of Draft space. You reverted my edit, I am thinking you should revert my bullet list too, there is more that could have been listed.

Theatre Royal, Southampton

Hi there, hope your well. First and foremost, I am incredibly thankful and grateful for your edits to Theatre Royal, Southampton. The expansion and sources (which may I say are excellent finds) have massively improved the article from what it was originally at the time when nominated for deletion.

In response to your improvements made over the past two days, I have withdrawn my AFD. There was a discussion within the AFD from Mjroots that suggested that the article could be draftified, but due to the impressive expansion in such a short amount of time, I don’t think that is even no longer necessary. Perhaps I may have been a bit quick/harsh with the AFD, but up to that point there had been little edits or discussion surrounding the article, and to put it mildly, it was essentially neglected. It felt like a lost cause after I was struggling to find information about the theatre. However, the AFD did bring some good, bringing some much needed attention and improvements to a page that seemed to have fallen into the shadows.

Overall, I would like to again thank you for your finds and improvements to Theatre Royal, Southampton which was an ultimate factor in the page surviving. Great work! Fats40boy11 (talk) 10:03, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fats40boy11: It was a good lesson on why it’s not OK to create two-sentence stubs in mainspace without reliable sources. All the key facts in the stub were wrong. Even the picture was misleading. And you were right that it wasn’t easy to find sources. It was an appropriate AfD nomination. If no one turned up to help solve the history mystery, it would have been perfectly fine to draftify or delete. As it stood, the information was bad.

That said, thanks for withdrawing your nomination and for your comments! Agree that in the end it was a net positive. Appreciate your professionalism and considerateness and hope you are enjoying EURO 2022. (First half yesterday was a nail-biter…) Cielquiparle (talk) 12:55, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, you deserve the praise. I did get confused when before the nomination it said that the theatre was destroyed by a bomb in 1940 whilst the source said 1942. This isn’t mentioning that this was confused with Mayflower Theatre. As you’ve found, there were a range of misleading information beforehand, and I’m surprised it didn’t get flagged sooner. I have no doubt that the article was made in good faith, but it was in poor shape and I do find it frustrating when stubs are created and then abandoned for others to do the hard work.

In regards to EURO 2022, I am most certainly enjoying it and let’s finish the job on Sunday! Hope your enjoying it too. Fats40boy11 (talk) 13:57, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Soldiers vs Warriors ~ Dakota War

You accepted another editors source for maintaining the use of soldier without verifying the word they cite: akiçita:. A simple google produces the definition in the Dakota Dictionary Online @ University of Minnesota: "warrior".^[1] That dictionary has no listing for the word "soldier". According to the 1852 Riggs Dakota Dictionary the primary meaning of the word akiçita: is "warrior". The 1890 reprint of the dictionary leaves the definition unchanged. Both editions list "soldier" as a secondary definition. Given that the war took place between publications the definition listed is the most applicable to the Dakota War narrative, not one published 100 years post-war. That other editor cites the current Sissiton Dictionary without explanation as to why the historic "primary definition" has been replaced. That raises the question of creditability of the source. The change in definitions is significant enough to raise the question of editor bias in the source. There are too many sources written by amateurs concerning the war. The revisionist effort to paint Little Crows warriors as soldiers is an example. "Soldiers" are trained in the "conventional warfare" of their period. Warriors are trained as "asymmetrical warfare" fighters or guerrillas throughout history. The Military History project does not interchange combatants of one type of warfare with the other and identify all as being the same. The Military History Project should not grade this article above a "C" while it identifies Little Crows warriors were soldiers. Using "soldiers" in place of "warriors" is an attempt to rewrite the historic narrative. The use of Soldier for Warrior reflects a revisionist rewrite utilizing inaccurate terminology. The fact that you can cite multiple sources that failed to verify correct terminology and comprehend the content illustrates a Wikipedia issue whereby poorly researched sources are given creditability by meeting the reliability standard of simply getting published. The Dakota War soldiers vs warriors is an example of this.Mcb133aco (talk) 19:07, 8 August 2022 (UTC)mcb133acoMcb133aco (talk) 19:07, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Historian Gary Clayton Anderson, as well as the Minnesota Historical Society, seem to use "soldier" and "warrior" interchangeably. Anderson also writes extensively about the role of the "soldiers' lodge" as a group. @Mcb133aco, if you really want to pursue this discussion further, you could post to the Talk page for one of the WikiProjects, like Military History or Indigenous People of North America. Be careful not to fall into WP:SOAPBOX. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:40, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anderson and the MHS did not write the Dakota Dictionary so why do you reference them? Neither one has a neutral pov.

As you yourself said, the Dakota–English Dictionary by Stephen Return Riggs lists both "warrior" and "soldier" as possible definitions. Anyway, I understand your frustration. Why not open the discussion with a broader community on one of the WikiProject pages? These issues come up all the time. Cielquiparle (talk) 18:39, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and

Thanks for your extensive contribution to Banaras Law Journal. Wondering if you can kindly contribute to:

Both are historical and important journals in their respective fields in India, but currently under WP:AfD. Thanks again, User4edits (talk) 21:21, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User4edits: Academic journals are hard. At first, I wondered why you published 2 articles to mainspace with no secondary sources, but I think I understand now that you were trying to write them according to what the essay said (which turned out to be "just an essay" and not a policy or guideline, and somewhat confusing). In the end, always safest to stick to WP:GNG. Cielquiparle (talk) 16:57, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of medical schools in the Caribbean

Hello, Cielquiparle,

You did such an impressive job with Washington University of Barbados, could you glance at List of medical schools in the Caribbean and make sure the listing for this defunct university is accurate? You probably now know more about this school than anyone on Wikipedia. Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:07, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz Can of worms!!! The easy part was deleting WUB from that page completely (since the header says list of "current" medical schools)...but much of the information on that page is suspect, and I've now posted my first query to the Reliable sources/Noticeboard.

Pronunciation of ukulele

And I just saw the article talkpage. That. Is. A. Mess. 😳

Maybe you've got an idea though (Hawaiian topics use "oo-kulele"^[1], others use the more common yew-kulele), as it doesn't look like anyone proposed it there. I'd gone out and done my due diligence, but since all the sources besides blogs etc. said "yew-kulele", it seemed fairly straightforward. Apparently it wasn't.

It definitely needs some sort of broader (and hopefully more conclusive) discussion. There are few things more frustrating than a "no consensus" for something that really needs it, one way or the other. I care less about what the consensus is, than I do about simply having one.

Henry D. Sokolski

I saw your comment on at User talk:Vanamonde93's about wanting to see what conversation develops about whether this article should be the target or the source for the merge. It's been over a week since the AfD close, and no one has said anything on either talk page. I think that there won't be much discussion about it unless you start it, maybe pinging some of the major contributors to the article or others who seem knowledgeable. Joyous! | Talk 16:53, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Joyous! for following up and for the advice. I am working on some text and will try to post in the next 24 hours. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:07, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Railway with a Heart of Gold

Hi - thanks for the review. Yes, the film is often played in the shop and cafe at the Railway, but I doubt there's any RS I could add to support that. John Snell does appear in the film - he was Driving No. 3 at the time of the derailment, and is sourced in Fuller, but at present John Snell doesn't have an article. John Bate, who later became the railway's chief engineer, also appears (they also serve who stand and bash things with hammers). Incredibly John Bate is still occasionally active on the railway. Neither of these characters have articles yet, though they should be notable enough, but I'll add them into the article as redlinks. Hope you enjoy the film! — Voice of Clam 10:08, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Voice of Clam: I just thought it was nice that The Times (25 February 2014) actually mentions Snell's appearance in the film as well: "He even took part in the film Railway with a Heart of Gold during the sequence where locomotive No. 3 is derailed. The Talyllyn and that incident were the inspiration for the hugely successful 1953 Ealing comedy The Titfield Thunderbolt." Cielquiparle (talk) 10:16, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good work

Good work with prep 6 - it is time consuming. The quirky hook is a good one too! I wanted to ask if you would copyedit this article for me. I often miss my own mistakes. There was a DYK reviewer concern that I need to address. Bruxton (talk) 15:00, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruxton I've now proofread. Not sure what gaps the reviewer was referring to, but maybe he means the gap between ~1912 and 1978? And/or post-1978 to present? If you can find any more info about the history of the reservoir and/or recent developments, it would probably help. Another thing I wondered was whether "Fort Casino" needs to be higher up (mentioned in the lede and/or bolded), if someone is looking for the history of Fort Casino and this is the main page. (Yes, that quirky hook is a winner!) Cielquiparle (talk) 15:17, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the help. I thought it would be an easy one to DYK. Bruxton (talk) 15:56, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruxton Maybe you could rename the page to focus on "Collapse of the..." and reframe the lede slightly to make it clearer you're only focusing on the disaster? Cielquiparle (talk) 11:43, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
