WikiProject

Hi there! I'm not sure if you know of Wikiprojects - it's a collabroative project on Wikipedia where everyone interested in the same ideas can collaborate to form better articles on the subject they are interested in. With that in mind, have a look at WP:BOOKS - you might be interested! Hawker Typhoon 19:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The House of the Seven Gables

Great work with The House of the Seven Gables (novel) - that article has been in need of some attention for some time. I am requesting, though, a citation for the quote from (presumably) Hawthorne that you used in the themes section. If you get a chance, could you plug in your source using in-line citation? Let me know if you need a hand. -Midnightdreary 17:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I realise the quotation needs a citation; I'll look it up asap. I wrote the summary for another purpose a few months ago, and the book isn't to hand just now.Robina Fox 17:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for correcting my english on the article René Guénon. English is not my mother language so I appreciate your help very much.

Thanks. TwoHorned (talk) 20:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you section

Thank you for your repair to the Donald Duck filmography. Some chowder heads keep going through Wikipedia capitalizing every word in titles, and the process of clean-up often misses a spot. —SlamDiego_←T 20:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Transit of Venus

Hi I've just seen your edits. Are you sure the title is without the article? Actually I've just removed all the redirects from The opera corpus because they interfere with the stats etc. and it confuses things to have separate works combined. I'm now going to try to sort this out but I wanted to ask you about the title first. Cheers. --Klein zach 08:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snakehead

I still argue that the second image is unnecessary because the reader's understanding is not enhanced by seeing the book's cover. It's a cosmetic differencet, the "brand new chapter" logo, which is already better-covered in the text itself. hbdragon88 (talk) 19:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Calling all active WP:Children's and Young Adult literature members

WikiProject Children's and Young Adult Literature Roll Call

Hello Robina Fox! WikiProject Children's literature is currently holding a roll call, which we hope to perform annually. Your username is listed on the members list, but we are unsure which editors are still interested in the project. If you still consider yourself to be an active member of the project, please move your name to the Active Members list. If you no longer are interested in this project, please move your name to the Former Members list, and you will no longer receive messages regarding this project.

Stub Assessments

I'm sorry if you feel I have been mis-rating articles. I always do my best, but, as you point out, I do rate a large number of articles (mostly, I am trying to reduce the workload to a more manageable number - I will take more care when there are fewer waiting) and I don't always take as much time as I could over each article. Generally, it is fairly obvious which category it belongs in, but I often have trouble with more borderline articles, and I tend to rate harshly - I am still not completely used to the new guidelines. If you feel I have been unfair, feel free to remove the rating and I will rate it again soon - although the same problems may occur - or else request an assessment. In future, I will try and remember the new guidelines more and be a bit more lenient in my assessments. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 16:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carnegie Medal

About your recent creation of a disambiguation page: I wonder if you have taken into account the considerable number of links to "Carnegie Medal" which will now need to be disambiguated. I really think it is an unhelpful move, as the premier children's literature award in the United Kingdom is commonly referred to simply as the Carnegie Medal, whereas the other medal does not have its own page and seems to be generally referred to on linking pages as the "Carnegie Hero Fund Medal".

I would prefer that the previous arrangement be restored, with a hatnote saying "For the Carnegie Medal for Heroism, see..." etc. Otherwise "Carnegie Medal" could redirect to "Carnegie Medal in Literature" also with a hatnote, though I think that would be messier. What are your thoughts on this? Robina Fox (talk) 22:58, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robina,

It's my understanding that bots follow behind and correct the links to the original page. Am I incorrect regarding this?

I'm curious if Carnegie has more than 2 medals? As you can see from their official home page, Carnegie simply calls the heroism award the "Carnegie Medal":

http://www.carnegiehero.org/awardees_recent.php

The Medal for Heroism dates back to 1904 and for Literature to 1936. I believe that should indicate they have more or less equal footing. What do you think?

--UnicornTapestry (talk) 00:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your note. I've given it some thought and read the relevant pages. I'm pretty sure bots don't fix the links - just double redirects, which don't apply here. See this from Wikipedia:Disambiguation:

Links to disambiguated topics

A code of honor for creating disambiguation pages is to fix all resulting mis-directed links.

Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It also advises using disambiguation links/hatnotes where only two pages are involved. Although it is true the heroism medal is older, and has more recipients too, the literature award is definitely the primary page - it has over ten times the number of incoming links and about ten times the page views. I checked over the links and found three which should have gone to the Carnegie Hero Fund (now fixed), so there is obviously some confusion, but only a quite small amount. I think a hatnote will be enough, and I don't suppose you want to be fixing all those links any more than I do! Robina Fox (talk) 11:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. You're clearly more experienced. I've learned from the information you provided (and have much more to learn).

In defense, I can only say this:

The move pages says bots will follow within 'a few days' and correct the links.
If the links aren't fixed by bots, by the very nature of Wikipedia they will be corrected over time. In any case, the most that would be required would be a second click.
I am uncomfortable to relegating an article about nearly 10,000 recipients who risked (and often gave) their lives to being subordinate to fewer than 100 recipients being honored for children's books.
Do we know for certain there are only 2 Carnegie medals? It seems the 2 categories we know about were unaware of each other.

In any case, I see you've executed a fait accompli, so my argument is moot.

best regards, --UnicornTapestry (talk) 17:24, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is obviously not a question of worthiness, just a matter of which page gets the most use and traffic within Wikipedia. And in fact, the heroism medal does not even have a whole page of its own.

However, it is the links which really concern me; disambiguation pages should not have incoming links which belong to another page - I don't use bots, but I don't believe bots fix this; there is a whole Wikiproject devoted to changing such links manually. I changed the Carnegie Medal page redirect to fix the links problem. You could change all the links so they go directly to the literature page (though I'm not happy about the title of it - the award really is just called the Carnegie Medal, not in or for anything), then the Carnegie Medal page would eventually be free. You could ask the opinion of people on both the talk pages and perhaps enlist some help.

Meanwhile, I have compromised - "Carnegie medal" (small "m") goes to the disambiguation page. This is what people would usually type in the search box.

I have actually found two others: The Andrew Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy (founded 2001) - which has a section in Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video (founded 1991), not currently mentioned in Wikipedia. Neither is just known as the Carnegie Medal, and they are not hatnote material, but they could go on the disambiguation page.

Hope this is a bit more satisfactory! Robina Fox (talk) 19:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you're a very dedicated researcher and I appreciate that. Thank you.

Robina, I think you have a reasonable compromise, and your work makes the disambiguation page more valuable.

kind regards, --UnicornTapestry (talk) 22:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re Bank of Cairo

I don't see why we need disambiguation — "Bank of Cairo" is a redlink, so people won't accidentally end up at a West Virginia bank instead of an Egyptian one, or vice versa. Moreover, if someone would write an article about theW est Virginia bank, hatnotes could easily suffice to send a reader from one to the other. Nyttend (talk) 19:11, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gene Kemp

Noticing your interest in Carnegie Medal winners, I wondered whether you felt like contributing to the Gene Kemp page. It was languishing in the Unreferenced BLP cleamup list (which is my current focus). I've added a bit of detail and a few references but the article clearly needs work. Just thought I'd mention it in case you were interested.--Plad2 (talk) 07:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A couple more Carneigie Winners needing attention

If you are interested and have time. Philip Turner and Mollie Hunter both need a tidy up and some proper references. I found them languishing in the "Unreferenced BLP" list, which puts them at risk of deletion. So I have added a couple of references and removed the "unsourced" templates. If you felt like helping to knock them into shape, that would be great. --Plad2 (talk) 22:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 22:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:31, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robina, I notice HighKing is challenging your use of the British Isles terminology. It might be worth you looking at the background behind this challenge. You could look at his edit history and also mine; you will probably be astounded at what's been going on. For my part, I don't have a problem with the use of British Isles in the article. As you point out, it's a good term to encompass something that applies to both Britain and Ireland and I'd be inclined to leave it. Regards, LevenBoy (talk) 15:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Carnegie Medal succession box

Hi. Does WP:MOSNUM imply that Carnegie Medal succession boxes should not link the award date to Category:Years in literature. At The Machine Gunners (revision history) I have retained that one change while reverting Retrieved-date format changes that were not "per WP:MOSNUM".

I must run but I will copy this note to the other editor, hoping to forestall the same changes elsewhere. --P64 (talk) 22:53, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit I don't know what the Manual of Style says about this, though from a quick glance at the numbers page, there isn't anything there. The relevant page would probably be WP:MOSLINKS which has a paragraph on Year linking. I based the Carnegie Medal box on the Newbery Medal box, which has the links to "years in literature". I think it's a useful link. As far as dates are concerned, I generally prefer an easily read date to a computerized one, but for "Retrieved on...", the latter seems reasonable.

A cup of tea for you!

My Dear Miss Fox, My name is Mavis Enderby and I recently added some information on Wikipedia regarding Aristasia. I believe you have removed my contribution. Perhaps we could come to some agreement regarding the matter. I am sure my material was all accurate and correctly sourced - if there is anything in the article that you specifically object to, please let me know and I will make some changes.

Carnegie Medal

Got it, I'll discontinue the piping changes. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 16:45, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note, Robina. I agree; the new name is preferable. As I understand it, there's no point "fixing" my recent changes, as the redirect will handle those admirably. However, if I get time I may try tiding up a few of the visible "Carnegie Medal in Literature" links back to plain "Carnegie Medal"s (piped to "Carnegie Medal (literary award)" of course). Best, Simon the Likable (talk) 23:35, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re #Carnegie Medal (above): Some editors request custom robots. I don't know how, where, or what service may be expected. Vaguely I recall there is a group that considers such requests, maybe even a wikiproject.

P.S. "Carnegie Medal in Literature" may have been invented here but it has proliferated. Eg, there is "The Carnegie Medal in Literature" at facebook.

Horsey stories

Hey Robina, saw your category edits on the horse books; is there a distinction between "children" and "young adult" in other categories? The Black Stallion books are really more in the YA side of things, particularly late in the series. Thoughts? Montanabw ^(talk) 16:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I generally go with WikiProject Children's literature in regarding young adult literature as a subset of children's literature. There is no real dividing line, and classifying older books is particularly problematic. So, my policy is for the category to have a short name like "Children's novels about horses" and for young adult be added to the description line "... for children and young adults." Young adult fantasy novels has its own genre category, but that is a particularly large genre, and the category is included in Children's fantasy novels (admittedly, I did that just now, but it seemed reasonable).

I will be adding more books to the Children's novels about horses category from Novels about horses soon – feel free to help! Maybe some of the Pony books belong there too. Robina Fox (talk) 18:53, 19 March 2015 (UTC) --- on second thoughts, this is a categorization too far. Robina Fox (talk) 06:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Nine Lives of Montezuma?

Hi! I had another editor ask me about The Nine Lives of Montezuma. They were inclined to nominate it for speedy deletion but saw that there was recent activity on the page.

I'm sorry to say I don't know the book and don't have access to it. I came across the article and was just intrigued by the title; I probably gleaned the brief description from Goodreads. The author is well respected, but this seems like a minor work. I'm glad to see some references for it, though. Robina Fox (talk) 06:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bannertail

Hi Robina, just wondering why you moved Bannertail: The Story of Gray Squirrel to Bannertail? this may be what it says on the 1922 1st ed. cover but according to the title page it is actually Bannertail: The Story Of A Graysquirrel (i have used poetic license in not showing the title in all caps and have included a colon:)) Please see http://www.gutenberg.org/files/42827/42827-h/42827-h.htm thanks Coolabahapple (talk) 15:45, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I moved it because Bannertail: The Story of Gray Squirrel is simply wrong – it's copied from the anime title. I called the new article just Bannertail, without a subtitle, following Wikipedia's naming conventions on subtitles. It is a short title, but it doesn't need disambiguation. I've created a redirect page from Bannertail: The Story of a Graysquirrel.

On titles, you might be interested to know that Wikipedia has fixed rules about capitalization: see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Composition titles.

I had a copy of Bannertail at one time. I was rather shocked to see it described in the original article as a "short story"! Robina Fox (talk) 17:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

wow, thanks very much for the info about wikiarticle titles, sorry that i brought it up the way i did (case of a wikikit thinking they would be 'smart' by catching out a wikiveteran?:)). i think this wikikit needs to be put in place with a whack from a WP:TROUT, plleeeezze:)) Coolabahapple (talk) 04:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Children's literature by nationality

Hi, Robina. I see that you are at work creating and populating categories such as Canadian children's illustrators, German children's literature, etc.

User:P64/FSF/Children's/VIAF#English-speaking nominees (section 2.3.7 of my most complicated User page) is mainly a table that lists and links (blue and red uptodate about a year ago) all of the writers and illustrators nominated for the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Award by Canada (the last two of eight columns, which are below USA in the third and fourth columns, and beside AU-NZ in the fifth and sixth columns) --beginning with Roderick Haig-Brown at the head of the seventh column.

It goes without saying that 'Canadian' is national and covers both English- and French-language work. For 'German', et al. on the other hand, there should be some preface that addresses the category scope. The simplest may be essentially "See also Austrian and Swiss children's literature".

Good work. --P64 (talk) 16:54, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian children's (book) illustrators

Hi, Robina. Do you understand the arrangement of Category:Canadian children's illustrators, which has subcategories Canadian children's book illustrators and Governor General's Award-winning children's illustrators and 13 biography pages (of which I added about half before noticing this point). For one, what I find from Canada Council for the Arts (via our GGAward citations) for the Governor General's Awards suggests that the "children's illustration" award is strictly for illustration of books --one book of the year, i understand. Indeed the domain name is ggbooks.ca [1]. --P64 (talk) 20:12, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly seems to be non-standard. I would suggest making Category:Canadian children's illustrators a redirect [see WP:Categories for discussion#Redirecting categories] to Category:Canadian children's book illustrators and putting the GGA category in the latter too. My preference would be to add the GGA winners to the general category – some are there already. I don't know if any of the "Canadian children's illustrators" actually don't do books, but if so I suppose they should go in the Canadian illustrators category. ---- Robina Fox (talk) 22:28, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Sixth Form at St. Clare's

The article The Sixth Form at St. Clare's has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Mostly unreferenced, with no indication of notability per WP:NBOOKS. See also WP:Articles for deletion/The Third Form at St. Clare's.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Range Hotel site, Hervey Range

Hi, Robina! I am not sure why you changed the Alice River (Black River) link to Alice River (Barcoo River)? If you are coming from Townsville on the Hervey Range Road towards Thorntons Gap, how could you be crossing a river that is a tributary of the Barcoo on the western side of the Great Dividing Range? I think it has to be the Alice River that is a tributary to the Black River, which is on the eastern side of the range. Kerry (talk) 22:14, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'll change it back – sorry, I should have checked if there was more than one Alice River in the region! I looked at the river map rather briefly and it didn't register that it covered such a vast area. As you have local knowledge, would you consider doing the Alice River (Black River) article? --- Robina Fox (talk) 00:32, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's actually 5 Alice Rivers in Queensland. I don't know if this particular Alice River warrants an article. I might just redirect it to Black River and add a mention of Alice River being a tributary. Kerry (talk) 03:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

English comedy category

So why empty it? any particular reason? british is nebulous, english is specific, or is there a parent cat driving the change ?? JarrahTree 06:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say "British" is nebulous – it's British nationality that people have, after all – and I think in this case "English" is over-specific. There are only 64 pages in the category "British comedy novels", and there are no Scottish or Welsh comedy novel categories, which is often why English categories are introduced. Mostly, though, when I looked at the category there was only one novel in it, except for the one I'd just added, so it seemed rather pointless. I think one should either go all out to populate subcategories or not have them. However, if you prefer to keep it, just add some. I promise not to empty it again! -- Robina Fox (talk) 17:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

nah - your provide a good reason - thats 95 of the issue - and thanks for that - I have no problem if the english one is turned into a redirect - cheers - and keep up the good work!! JarrahTree 00:54, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

HI Robina. Thanks for fixing https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Sapphire_the_Dragon_(Novel) When does it stop being a draft and become an actual link?

Sapphire the Dragon (talk) 01:52, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sapphire. Thank you! I will take good care of her.

Any time you want to make the draft an article, use the "move" function (under "More" in the tab at the top). I'd recommend naming the article just "Sapphire the Dragon" as there is no other article of that name, so you don't need the "(novel)" disambiguation. However, at the moment I do not believe the article would pass the Notability criteria, so it might get deleted fairly quickly. As a draft it is protected from deletion on notability grounds. The novel would need to get some substantial reviews or other media coverage, win an award, or be adapted for film or television, for example, to be safe. Alternatively, you could redirect "Sapphire the Dragon" to an article on the author if you have enough material there.

By the way, could you include something in the article to explain why it's a "science fiction" novel rather than fantasy (dragons being more typical of fantasy)? Is it set on another planet? Did the visitor come in a spaceship? ---- Robina Fox (talk) 03:40, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Really I am not the best person to ask because I'm not specially involved in Projects at all and mostly Children's Literature. In Projects generally, members collaborate on articles related to the subject, discussing how to improve them. At least in theory. Some are not very active. You should have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Literature and see if they are doing anything at the moment you would be interested in. If you sign up as a member you'll get notifications on your Talk page from time to time. The project deals with literature in general, history, genres, movements, organizations, literary criticism. Various aspects of literature have their own projects, like wp:WikiProject Books, wp:WikiProject Novels, wp:WikiProject Shakespeare.

Then there are the more specialized Task Forces. You might be interested in the Rick Riordan Task Force, for example.

I hope this will give some idea. If you have any other questions, you should ask at the Teahouse. They are very helpful and experienced. Robina Fox (talk) 00:29, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Project Tagging - Your help is needed

Thanks to Earwig and his bot some articles had our project banner placed on their pages - this will let us monitor and support these articles better. However, the tagging received some complaints about too many incorrectly place tags (see here). Some help in going through the categories to be used by the bot would be appreciated. That list of categories can be found at: User:The Earwig/Sandbox/Children's Lit

Article Alerts

A great way to stay on top of articles which need particular attention is through the project's article alerts page. You can find out about new Good Article Nominees, Articles for Deletion, and more. If you watch the page you can even see the new additions each night right frmo your watchlist.

Proposed deletion of The Beggar of Volubilis

The article The Beggar of Volubilis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication that subject meets WP:NBOOK

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

hi Robina Fox, and Jmertel23, i have deprodded this as, at the very least, it can be redirected to The Roman Mysteries (not that i am recommending this:)). Coolabahapple (talk) 14:46, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:The Fairy Circus.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Awards in Red

MrLinkinPark333 recently pointed out that on some of our Top importance pages about Children's literature awards there are many redlinks. The three pages with these redlinks are Caldecott Medal, Newbery Medal, and Carnegie Medal (with 0 existing redlinks in the other top importance award article - Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award). As of this newsletter there are 222 redlinks in those three articles. How many can we as a project create over the next 6 weeks? Could we even do better and see if we could create any that earn a Did You Know or even get it up to Good Article status?

As always feel free to head on over to the project discussion page if you find yourself in need of any help as we work to turn these notable entries on some of our most important articles blue.

The Deep (Dunmore novel)

Hello @Robina Fox: I reviewed this article and had to revert it back to mainspace. Worldcat which is a directory and books in order arent real references, as in they are unreal. That shop reference does nothing either except to promote the article which is problematic. Never use shop reference please. There are considered WP:PROMO and they have their own problems. I wrote a 380k essay this morning for this comment to finesse a really fine point I was trying to make but my dog ate it (he's like that). Instead I'd say "Reviews are better for references for books". A couple of good reviews would do it. It was an excellent wee article apart from that. Google books is good for references. scope_creep^Talk 17:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol

Hello there! First of all, thanks for all the help you've done for children's literature on Wikipedia! I wanted to reach out because I noticed you have autopatrol rights, which means your new articles are automatically marked as patrolled without requiring a review from other editors. This is a privilege granted to trusted users who consistently produce high-quality content. However, I’ve noticed that some of the most recent articles you have created independently or changed from redirects might not fully align with Wikipedia’s quality standards. Since we all aim to ensure that Wikipedia's content meets these standards, I was wondering if you would consider voluntarily giving up your autopatrol rights for now. This would allow other editors to help review your articles and ensure they meet Wikipedia’s guidelines. This is just a suggestion, and I genuinely appreciate all the contributions you’ve made to the community. Thank you for your understanding! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 22:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Robina Fox! I wanted to let you know that I have removed your autopatrol rights. The autopatrol rights do not provide any additional privileges to you as an editor and having them removed will not change how you interact with Wikipedia. The only difference is that someone from New Page Patrol will review your work after you have created an article or redirect. Please let me know if you have any questions. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 04:12, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
