On 29 December 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Elisabeth Schmitz, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kristallnacht prompted Elisabeth Schmitz (pictured) to leave her teaching job, unwilling to work for "a government that permitted the synagogues to be set afire"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Elisabeth Schmitz. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Elisabeth Schmitz), 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.

The Madeleva Manifesto moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The Madeleva Manifesto, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, click the Submit the draft for review! button atop the article.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Madeleva Manifesto (June 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bradv was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Madeleva Manifesto and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Engmaj! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! – bradv 02:52, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the input. I will certainly continue working on the piece. I'm puzzled as to why a group of references that includes a book, a legal journal, a national news source, and two magazines rates as insufficient. If you could elaborate a bit on that point, I'd appreciate it. I will also post this query on the help page to which you referred me. Again, thanks.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Madeleva Manifesto (June 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by CurryTime7-24 were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Madeleva Manifesto and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

CurryTime7-24 (talk) 20:52, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your prompt review of this revision. Please elaborate on why you find the sources problematic. They include a book, a legal journal, two magazines and two local newspapers in addition to the website of the college that sponsored the event that led to the creation of the manifesto. With the exception of the college website, whose independence might be challenged but which provides a copy of the document, how are these not "independent, reliable, published sources"?

Meanwhile, I will review tone. Thanks much.Engmaj (talk) 21:24, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moving Manifesto

Hey, congrats on the Manifesto article and the DYK above. If you like, we can change the title of the Manifesto article to include the capitalization and to put it in italics. Very easy to do; all you have to do is click "Tools" at the top right-hand corner of the article, select "Move" from the drop-down menu, and then follow the instructions. I can go ahead and do it, just let me know. Best, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 15:59, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Christine. I would greatly appreciate your doing that. Best regards!Engmaj (talk) 16:14, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Figureskatingfan, I have only belatedly realized that by not using your Username, you probably never got a notice that I had replied. Sorry! Will keep that in mind, moving foward. I would be delighted if you would move the article. Will the links already made to the page be automatically updated, or should I keep that in mind as a follow-up task? Thanks!Engmaj (talk) 18:33, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Engmaj, that's exactly what happened! Plus, I failed to put your talk page on my watchlist, which I have just done. I've also just moved the article and changed the title to italics. Yes, the links all move over as is. So we're done! You might want to think about submitting it to DYK, if we haven't passed the deadline yet. Best, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Christine (Figureskatingfan), many thanks!Engmaj (talk) 19:19, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello Engmaj:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
