Women in Red

edit

Hi there, Dalilib, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have another librarian in the project. I see you are already receiving some Wikipedia training but as a new contributor, you might find it useful to look through some of our Essays. From the mprovements you have made to the article mentioned above, it looks as if you have made a good start. If possible, you should try to back your changes and additions with an in-line reference, even if this means repeating a reference to one of the sources already included in the article (see Wikipedia:Inline citation). Our Redlist index includes lots of lists on artists and writers as well as on Spaniards and Spanish-speakers from Latin America. I'm really looking forward to your first biography. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:11, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so very much for your advice and for being so welcoming. It means a lot to scaredy-cats like me! I'll read through the material and watch some of the Edi Uni videos this weekend. I may also join one of the Women in Red editathons in Edinburgh if I can manage. I'll try my best but please keep me right. Cheers! Dalilib (talk) 18:28, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Valentine Schlegel

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Valentine Schlegel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from kinfolk.com/archive-valentine-schlegel, nathalieobadia.com/video/9-valentine-schlegel-par-agnes-varda-exposition-presentee-par-rosalie-varda, and dailyartmagazine.com/valentine-schlegel-sculptor. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dear Onel5969, thank you very much for your help, I though that as you do in academic writing, you can use sentences from texts and cite them appropriately. My bad if that is not the case, I misunderstood. Am I able to edit it or should I wait for it to be taken down? Thank you for your help! Dalilib (talk) 15:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

edit
  Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
