• responded on the article -- copied two lists from the original source (non-copyrightable factual information) and was in process of reformatting them when the bot automatically tagged the article. recommending that the bot ramp down just a notch. --Lquilter (talk) 20:51, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sally Floyd, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ACM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Portal:Freedom of speech

• Portal:Freedom of speech

1. Progress update: I'm all done with this setup, it's really fleshed out quite nicely. I'll bring it for portal peer review after I've finished with ongoing peer review of Portal:Society.
2. Query: In the meantime, would you like to be a part of starting WP:WikiProject Freedom of speech with me? :)

— Cirt (talk) 03:24, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

• • Yes! I'm getting back into WP a bit now, and in fact want this area (or at least the caselaw and legislation parts of it) to be a priority for me. --Lquilter (talk) 15:01, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
    • Okay, I'll keep you posted once I've started the initial guts of the project. Then, you can help use the project subpages for listing important caselaw and legislation, key articles to be improved upon, etc. :) And also important: Gather up lots of interested Wikipedia users to join the WikiProject! ;) — Cirt (talk) 15:02, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
      • Yep. Keep me posted and keep pinging me to remind me. I'm still scaling back up. --Lquilter (talk) 15:08, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
        • Ah alright, will do, no worries. — Cirt (talk) 15:16, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Query: What do you think of copying this Portal:Freedom of speech/Topics, into a footer template {{Freedom of speech}} using Template:Navbox, to display on related articles at the bottom of the article, as a navigational tool? — Cirt (talk) 15:36, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Any thoughts on this idea? — Cirt (talk) 23:39, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

I think it's way too long at this point. Needs to be minimized ... maybe pick a few, then ellipsis; rotate them in and out? --Lquilter (talk) 01:14, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Okay, how about you create {{Freedom of speech}}, and add in which links from Portal:Freedom of speech/Topics you think are most important for a footer {{Navbox}} style navigation template? That way, I'll defer to your judgment. :) The portal itself, we can keep more broad. :) — Cirt (talk) 03:09, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Systemic bias

Hi! I just read through your presentation that was linked in this week's Signpost, and I thought you did a great job encapsulating many of the issues that contribute to or come from systemic bias. It's even more motivation for me to write articles on female scientists! Thank you so much. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 16:59, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks! And thanks for letting me know about this week's Signpost, which I hadn't been told! [I'm a writer of women-in-science articles myself, so I'm also glad to meet someone with a similar passion.] --Lquilter (talk) 18:48, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
  • You're very welcome! I've been thinking of starting a Wikiproject Women in Science, would you be interested in that? Either way, it's great to meet someone with the same interest, I agree. :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 20:28, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
    • If you start it, I will come. --Lquilter (talk) 23:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
      • Sweet, I'm going to ask a few other WikiWomen I know and see if it's a viable idea. Thanks again! Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 00:31, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

New article, created, at Freedom for the Thought That We Hate. Let me know what you think so far? — Cirt (talk) 08:44, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

CfD nomination of Category:Second language acquisition

I have proposed that Category:Second language acquisition be renamed to Category:Second-language acquisition, and I am notifying you because you either participated in discussions about the hyphenation of "second(-)language acquisition" on the article's talk page, or because you participated in the previous CfD discussion. I would be grateful if you could give your opinion on the latest discussion, which you can find at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 November 10#Category:Second language acquisition. Thank you for your time. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 03:14, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Moving the AR activist cat talk page

Lquilter, would it not be best to leave this where it was? For two reasons (a) the discussion is now misleading, with editors appearing to argue against a cat that in fact they supported, and (b) if someone starts a new discussion on the activist cat page in future, its history will be missing. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 19:00, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

• Agreed it's always a bit misleading when articles are renamed, but IMO it's better to have the history accessible. It's in the archive, which should minimize confusion, and one could always add a note .... As for the history being missing on the activist cat page -- it was already missing, i.e., hard to find, because it had been deleted. ANYWAY -- all that aside, I don't have particularly care whether it's available under the original, old cat name ("AR activists") or under the new cat name ("AR advocates"). But I do think it needs to be readily accessible on one of the pages. (And linked from both, I would say.) ... The more accessible and open, the less we risk re-creating and re-hashing old debates. --Lquilter (talk) 21:48, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

• Okay, now I see that Timrollpickering deleted the activist cat talk page on 17 Nov. I think that's the step that shouldn't have happened. If someone tries to recreate the cat, it will be useful for them to see the previous discussion. So my suggestion is to move it back to Category talk:Animal rights activists, and then if you want, leave a note at Category talk:Animal rights advocates to say there is a discussion there that might be of relevance. But as things stand, it makes people look as though they contributed to a discussion about (X) when it was a discussion about (Y). SlimVirgin ^(talk) 21:59, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

• sounds good -- go ahead if you want & if you haven't done it when i get back on i'll take care of it. --Lquilter (talk) 00:43, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
