Proposed deletion of Judith Good edit

 

The article Judith Good has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:PROF

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.

Welcome! edit

Hello, LornaMCampbell! Thank you so much for taking part in the Ada Lovelace Day editathon!

Now that we've created your userpage and learned the basics, I hope that you'll stay logged in and have a go at editing some articles. If you're not feeling bold enough to write an(other) article straight away, why not try a small edit first, or adding a link? Don't worry about being perfect, Wiki is a constantly evolving entity. Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

 
Welcome! Now have some cake...

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful:

History of Medicine editathon edit

Hello again, LornaMCampbell!
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you after last week but am just recovering from the flu. Thank you so much for taking part in the History of Medicine editathon (your guest speaking proved a palpable applause-causing hit after all!). Just so you know, we uploaded in excess of 500 images to Wiki Commons, created 4 brand new articles on Wikipedia, and improved a further 56! For the event page, click here or to see the whole illustrated story of the event then you can click here: Storify: ILW editathon 2016
I hope that you enjoyed the day, and that we'll see you on Wiki again soon.

Now that you've hopefully learned - or refreshed - the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful.

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful, especially the first one which covers the main things to remember about using Visual Editor.


The next up-and-coming Wikipedia event is this one run by Sara Thomas, Wikimedian in Residence at Museums and Galleries Scotland. Details here: Modern Scottish Women 2 - Art & Feminism

The University of Edinburgh are also looking into running an editathon for International Women’s Day on (or near) 8th March 2016 – details are still to be confirmed but will be updated on my project page here: Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh

DYK for Mary Susan McIntosh edit

On 11 May 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mary Susan McIntosh, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that sociologist, feminist, and campaigner for lesbian and gay rights Mary Susan McIntosh was deported from the U.S. in 1960 for speaking out against the House Un-American Activities Committee? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mary Susan McIntosh. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Mary Susan McIntosh), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Sandboxing edit

Dear LornaMCampbell Its great that another editor is writing about Scotland. I notice in the revision history that Tara Spires-Jones that multiple articles have been written in the same article. Do you know about sandbox, silly name, but useful. You can create a link like Bio Sandbox and it keeps it on the page until it is ready to go yo article space. I thought I mention it, as it took me a four years to find them. Cool articles ;8-) scope_creep (talk) 10:54, 28 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have sent you a note about a page you started edit

Hello, LornaMCampbell

Thank you for creating Isabel Gal.

User:Herpetogenesis, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Good job! Interesting article about Dr. Gal and her work. (As a side note, I am myself am a descendant of Holocaust survivors.)

@Herpetogenesis: Thanks you! I came across Dr Gal's story quite by accident and it's led me down a bit of a rabbit hole. It's amazing that her 1967 research was finally vindicated in a government review published in 2020. It's also sobering to think that this issue might never have come to light, had Gal not survived the Holocaust. LornaMCampbell (talk) 13:45, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
