article Nina Menkes

Could you take a look at this article? It's got an obvious COI problem, I stumbled into it very indirectly. I guess you could say I have a very minor interest but nothing close to a conflict of interest. In any case, I'll be editing the article very slowly and carefully over the next few weeks and could use an extra set of eyes. Smallbones(smalltalk) 21:23, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

William T. Greenough article

I reviewed this article for DYK and I enjoyed it. I see that you're doing a great deal of writing for Wikipedia on science and scientists, so I wanted to make the observation that this article, at least, is written at a pretty sophisticated level. One measure is that its Flesch score is 31, which means that it is more difficult to read than 5/6 of Wikipedia articles. The original target for Wikipedia corresponds to a Flesch score of about 60, but few articles are actually written that simply; see Lucassen, et al. (2012). While the body of an article may need to be pretty technical, I'll make the suggestion that at least the lede paragraphs of technical & scientific articles would avoid complex sentence construction and technical terms (even with hyperlinks). Happy to continue this discussion here or through e-mail. Cheers, Easchiff (talk) 14:05, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the feedback @Easchiff: One of my writing faults is too-long sentences, so it's good to be reminded. I've broken up the lead a little more, which will hopefully help. Regarding difficulty level: Probably the biggest challenge in writing about scientists, is to get some grasp of their work and then turn around and try to explain it in a less technical way, so that someone who's not an expert can see why they were important. Far too often, I look at an article about a scientist and see where they were born, where they attended school, what awards they got, and nothing about what they actually did or why it mattered. I try to fill that gap and communicate some idea of the actual science, which by definition tends to be technical. To some extent, I would expect that a complex topic will involve writing at a higher-than-average reading level. I do assume that my target audience will have more expertise than the average Wikipedia reader, given that they're reading about a scientific topic. Comparables might include well-written science news articles, textbook chapters, and specialist scientific encyclopedias. That said, I don't want an article to be harder to read because I'm writing it poorly! so i appreciate the feedback. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 16:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Your article is well written! I've toyed with suggesting that technical articles get assessed for a code that indicates the expected readership. Maybe STEM graduate student, bachelor's graduate, college student, pre-college. Here's one example I recall where a specific effort was made to write a more introductory article: Introduction to general relativity. That one ends up with a Flesch score of 38, which is still pretty sophisticated. I'd say that it's written for people with bachelor's degrees, probably in a STEM major. Anyway, thanks for your Wikipedia contributions - you're covering a lot of ground. Easchiff (talk) 21:23, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

DYK for William T. Greenough

On 5 February 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William T. Greenough, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Ellen Thayer Fisher

Hi - I wonder if I could get you to review your article on Ellen Thayer Fisher with regard to her surname - especially the second sentence? I've found it hard to determine if her surname became 'Thayer Fisher' (i.e. effectively a hyphenated double-baelled surname) or if it is just 'Fisher'. The 2nd sentence threw me because you've said "Fisher Thayer exhibited her paintings..." I've also added an entry on the DAB page for Ellen Fisher - again, you might like to check the surname format is correct. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 12:39, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:19, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

It says here [1] that the image is fully copyrighted.
And I did not see OTRS here[2].
Not sure if I missed it? Would likely be easiest to indicate the images that are CC BY SA on their website. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:22, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
  • No problem, I've dropped a note to the website people asking them to update the information on the page so that it will be consistent with the statement on Wikipedia. I'm the staff person authorized to release images on Wikipedia, which are generally works for hire copyrighted to CHF, so I'd be the one signing the OTRS on behalf of CHF, which would be somewhat redundant. We've released nearly 1000 images so far; a OTRS has only been considered necessary for a couple of special cases, such as photographs of artworks which required an OTRS from the artist as well as CHF's approval for release of the work.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Barbara Bosworth (May 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Seraphim System was:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
promotional language: "Her work reflects her passion and love for nature and she carefully captures her view of the world through the lens of her large-format film camera. Bosworth's work seeks to explore subtle relations between humans and landscapes and to make a personal and spiritual connection to the world around us."
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 when they have been resolved.

Ernest Lawrence

I see you are trying to rehabilitate Ernie Lawrence. From your source:

Despite his assertions Lawrence was not truly apolitical. The funders who kept his cyclotrons running and with whom he rubbed shoulders were often very conservative men, and they influenced him. When Lawrence received a government Works Progress Administration (WPA) grant during the Depression to hire out-of-work shop craftsmen, many of his private foundation funders balked at the idea of being associated with a New Deal program. Ludwig Kast of the Macy Foundation, one of his largest funders, worried that if the WPA was overturned by the Supreme Court, the foundation’s and the WPA’s dual support of the Rad Lab would be incriminating and indicate "that [the foundation has] something to do with sinister communist tendencies." In response, Lawrence removed all acknowledgment of WPA funds from research papers involving work supported by the Macy Foundation.

There is also the matter of his opposition to a moratorium on nuclear testing. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:15, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi @Hawkeye7:, I'm not sure which article you're looking at, but I wouldn't say I was trying to rehabilitate him -- rather I felt that there ought to be at least some mention of his not-very-pretty involvement with Oppenheimer's security clearance, since that was largely missing from the articles. The WPA events you mention would date rather earlier than the ones I was discussing, so I didn't include them. If you want to add something about them in an appropriate spot, I'm fine with that. Happy editing! Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 22:56, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Wherry Lines

Please look at Haddiscoe High Level railway station reverted as "Not broken] and tell me if I am wrong to make the change. Perhaps Wherry Lines would be acceptable to everyone. I have seen that on other stations on the line.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 21:20, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
