Hello, FreyjaPatton! Having an article 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! Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 22:04, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for your work on the above article, it is much appreciated. If I can make a small suggestion: put something on your user page. Anything. Red-linked user pages tend to look a little suspicious, and I have the feeling that you are going to be around for a while. Welcome. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:11, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS: the talk page for Women in Red is an excellent place if you want a stampede of input by highly skilled editors to any article you are working on!ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Using personal correspondence as a source

[edit]

Thanks for your work on Terrance Houle! Just a heads up that I had to take out the personal correspondence item as we never use items like that (it can be reinserted if you find published sources). It may well be true, but the way the wiki works is that we exclusively use sources that have been published by independent parties. No original research is a core policy of Wikipedia, and it allows editors with no subject mater experience to edit and build the wiki, as we are always relying on material that was independently vetted. It also ensures that we are fully independent of the subjects we write about. Corresponding with article subjects is also frowned upon as it may bias an editor one way or another. Thanks.

June 10 Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

[edit]

Hi FreyjaPatton

Leaving you a note to personally invite you to our next A+F edit-a-thon on June 10th on Edmonton's Queer history. This year we are partnering with the Edmonton Queer History Project for an in-person Wikipedia edit-a-thon, but we are also encouraging anyone to join our event dashboard.

You did such great work on the Common Woman Books page that we are using as an example in some of our training slides. I'm hoping you can join us again this year! Viola-Ness (talk) 20:44, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
