Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Nicole Prause. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: |image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]], instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: |image=SomeImage.jpg. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recetly added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

[edit]Hi, thanks for helping to counter systemic bias! Wikipedia badly needs more female editors and editors of colour. Thank you for creating the Nicole Prause page. I was concerned about possible copyright violations since it looked like some of the prose was copy-pasted from sources not freely licensed. I ended up reading all about Dr Prause and basically rewrote the article. I removed one of your citations, of vice.com, since it is not generally considered to be a reliable source, and other outlets were covering the same study. Please don't take this as a disparagement of your work! We would have no information on Nicole Prause at all if you hadn't taken the initiative to create the page in the first place. I hope you continue to contribute to the project, and gently remind you to be mindful of copyright issues, especially in biographies of living people, where policy is especially restrictive. You may wish to participate in Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists since it seems you might be interested. Thanks again and happy editing! Snuge purveyor (talk) 19:56, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

[edit]I may have got carried away copyediting the article, and even cropping the image in the DYK nomination. I hope you don't mind, but if you see any problems please feel free to raise your concerns with me. This should make a very fun DYK! EEng 09:05, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Tommy Tucker (squirrel)
[edit]
On 12 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tommy Tucker (squirrel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Tommy Tucker, a male pet squirrel wearing women's clothes (pictured), became famous during World War II, selling war bonds and entertaining children? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tommy Tucker (squirrel). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Tommy Tucker (squirrel)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.
