Tip of the day...

Featured content

The Wikipedia community decides whether articles meet certain criteria to be selected as Featured articles, representing the best that Wikipedia has to offer. A different featured article is chosen to appear on the Main Page every day. Any user can nominate an article as a Featured article candidate, or comment on any of the existing candidate articles.

Similar processes select Featured lists, Featured pictures, Featured portals, Featured topics and Featured sounds.

Dear @Diannaa, Thank you for catching this. I am shocked and appalled and very sorry. I did not mean to violate copyright. I too take it seriously. I noticed that Brenda Dervin's Wikipedia page was sadly sparse, lacking impact section which was however in the cite (references) already on page. I meant to put it in as an extract or excerpt within quotes. Is that permissible? I am still learning editing, thanks for any help you can give. Best, Anita Researcherasc (talk) 15:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

We shouldn't be quoting her own cv. What we're looking for at Wikipedia is in-depth coverage from secondary sources, not copypaste or quotes from someone's own opinion of their work. — Diannaa (talk) 18:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

It's not her CV but In Memoriam published after / upon her death by her Uni dept. Is that still objectionable? I just want to help improve that Wikipedia page and adding her impact on disciplines beyond LIS and communications would be of help, I thought. Plus it would address the gender imbalance in content, that I've been advised by others to help improve. I know Dervin's impact for a fact from my own years of teaching and research in LIS and libraries and no, I don't know her and never met her! If I summarize the disciplines, what kind of evidence is acceptable? Do you need the citations from each discipline or would a generic link to her Google scholar profile suffice? Thanks! Researcherasc (talk) 18:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

I found it in her CV, which was published in 2007. Content should be sourced to secondary sources unrelated to the subject. Her university dept and her own CV are what we call primary sources - they are directly related to the subject of the article, and are not very useful for that reason. Secondary sources are things like magazines, reliable websites, and books. — Diannaa (talk) 11:58, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Dear Qcne, I created that article too but didn't submit it for review yet as I wanted to practice in my sandbox. The other is missing the sections like Education and Career, Impact, Awards, Publications, etc. like I have in this one in my sandbox. When I saw the message to move to that page I tried but sadly, I am still learning and couldn't move the content from here to there. Any advice? Researcherasc (talk) 19:01, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for missing this message- frustratingly it doesn't notify me and I manually check for replies. Hopefully my answer to your Teahouse question helps. Qcne (talk) 18:56, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
