Digital Anthropology research edit

Hello Lena Key, My name is Stephanie Barker and I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am currently enrolled in a Digital Anthropology class, which attempts to answer how the digital world affects culture and how culture affects the digital world. For my final project I am doing an ethnography on women Wikipedia users and as a member of the WikiProject Women page I was hoping I could ask you some questions about your experiences editing Wikipedia pages. 1. Have you ever been locked into an intense editing war? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 2. How did you become interested in editing Wikipedia pages and did you have any initial fears/hesitations when you started editing pages? 3. Have you ever been a victim of a mass deletion or other vandalism on Wikipedia? If yes, please explain the situation to me. 4. How would you describe your gender? 5. Is there anything else you would like to share with me about your experiences as a Wikipedia editor? Thank you for taking the time to read this email. I would like you to know that I am only sharing my research with my professor and the other students in my class. If you would like me to send you a copy of my final project, I would be more than happy to! Sincerely, Stelba90 (talk) 01:03, 2 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Transcription (novel) edit

 

The article Transcription (novel) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not satisfy book notability. No references.

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.

File:Transcription(novel) cover image.jpg edit

 

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 calculation 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.

2019 US Banknote Contest edit

  US Banknote Contest  
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Mary Mallon edit

I reverted your edits to Mary Mallon. None of the references you added were meaningful. Blogs are explicitly excluded, see WP:BLOGS. The issu video was about irish americans, seemed to have nothing to do with healthcare workers being unaware of healthy carriers. Nor did the google books review of Anthony Bourdain's "An Urban Historical". Tarl N. (discuss) 18:42, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please stop and answer the concerns here. By immediately reinstating your edits in a different form, without responding to concerns, you are engaged in edit warring. Tarl N. (discuss) 18:47, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I tried to respond to your concerns in the way I reposted. I did not see this comment until afterwards. You said I quoted a google search, but it was really a link to a book (biography) found on google books, that is about Mary Mallon. That may not be the best way to add the reference, but what you said is misleading. In that magazine Irish America found on issuu, pages 72-74 are an article on Mary Mallon. You can search within the magazine on that site. So I don't feel like your criticisms are really in good faith. In any case, all I really wanted to do was change the word "lover" to "boyfriend" which I think is more appropriate. Lena Key (talk) 18:53, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Citations should be immediately relevant and obvious. If you expect someone to search to find that there is something meaningful on page 72, you've made a mistake. As for good faith, please read WP:AGF, you seem to have immediately decided I was acting in bad faith, which is not a good start to a conversation.
As to the current specifics.
  • As to changing the word "lover" to "boyfriend" because it would be more appropriate. Do you have a citation that uses that word? I think both are inappropriate, my references on Mary do not specifically state either. The most they state is that she visited him frequently. Do you have a reference that states otherwise?
  • It appears the Bourdain book was already listed under "further reading", and this time you moved it up to sources so you could cite it. What specifically are you citing, that makes it a source rather than a further reading?
  • The issu reference is still inappropriate - if you cite something and expect people to search within it to find some nugget, you've made a mistake. I briefly glanced at it, and thought it was a youtube video. When I tried to look into it, all I got was a series of ads, which makes me think this is WP:REFSPAM or something like it. Does this magazine about irish-americans state something specific about healthcare workers? Tarl N. (discuss) 19:09, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
The word boyfriend is used on page 73 of the Irish America magazine article from 2017. I am open to other descriptions of their relationship but can't think of anything better at the moment. I am concerned that you are still downplaying the research and citations I have done. You call an article about Mary Mallon in a magazine a "nugget". Moreover, I think it would be a good idea for you to learn a bit about the website Issuu as it has a lot of magazines and I don't think it should be disregarded as spam, even if the internet is rife with ads. I have looked at WP:AGF and I think we can both improve our actions in this regard. I was upset that you falsely claimed I was edit warring, even though I did not just reinstate my changes but tried to improve upon them given your concerns that I had seen at the time. Lena Key (talk) 17:36, 25 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
The article is loaded with scholarly and contemporary sources, and you were adding what are at best recent popularizations. I still have no idea what you found in the Bourdain book, you never mentioned in any comment what it claimed. As for the issu Irish American magazine - it only gets me ads, I don't see a way to get to the article text. Maybe someone familiar with their practices could get through their advertisements to the 72nd page and find what you are referencing. Regardless, as a reference, it's less than ideal - even assuming it provides some detail not provided in the more formal citations. It sounds like you found them describing the relationship between Mallon and the person Soper tracked down (his name escapes me at this time) - in which case, you placed the citations on the wrong sentence. Your citations were placed on a statement about healthcare workers. I will comment that popularizations are not ideal sources, they often "interpret" things which aren't stated in their own sources. In this case, the Soper accounts suggested a relationship between Mallon and her male friend, but did not actually state it. I doubt any other source actually determined their relationship, so a popularization a century later should be viewed with a jaundiced eye. That sentence should have been limited to "friend", without stating a sexual relationship. Tarl N. (discuss) 23:52, 25 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I figured out how to get through the issu advertisement traps and find the text, so I struck out my above comment on issu. The person who's name I couldn't remember was Breihof, so I suspect you really did want to put that citation on an earlier sentence. I don't remember seeing an earlier claim that they lived together, it's entirely possible they dug that up from somewhere. I still suggest that a century-later popularization isn't the ideal source when so many contemporary and peer-reviewed sources exist. Tarl N. (discuss) 00:00, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
