Hovak Johnston

Hi, my friend. I remembered our last conversation after it was archived. How are you doing? I was going to ask whether you've made any movement on writing about Hovak Johnston. Like I said, I don't know much about Canadian Inuit history or people (my interest is more in women of Greenland and the American plains), but if you haven't started yet and we are both in the mood for writing about Johnston some time, let me know and I'll try to help. And please keep in touch with whatever new things you are up to; I learn so much reading your engaging, careful, and thoughtful prose. For me, two new things: Gozel Shagulyeva, a Turkmen woman poet, and User:Urve/Poetry in judicial opinions, an exercise in novelty. Maybe we can learn a bit from the latter? Urve (talk) 06:49, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Of course I say this, and only afterwards notice with excitement your writing about North Calotte People. Not Sámi herself, but an important figure in Sámi political representation is Astri Aasen - a biography you may find interesting, and which I wrote and had promoted to GA. Urve (talk) 06:52, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey Urve! Finals season hit me like a brick, so I've been occcupied these past two weeks. I haven't really worked on it because of that, with intermittent moments when I got distracted from what I've been supposed to do (my bad). I would love to work together with you sometime, been working on all sorts of things as of late and I've never collaborated with anyone on an article before but that sounds like a lot of fun. That means a lot coming from you, and I can say for sure that I have learned quite a lot from your writing! Great work and congratulations on getting Aasen's article to GA status! Please let me know when you're able to, I just finished my exams last night! Ornithoptera (talk) 00:24, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Insects in Japanese culture

Hello, Ornithoptera. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Insects in Japanese culture, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 08:04, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

It has been 6 months and I'm going to assume that you will not be doing any more work on this soon. I think it is best to move it back to mainspace let the Wikipedia community finish it. Thanks for all the work you put into it. ~Kvng (talk) 17:34, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Kvng:, apologies but please do not move it back at this point. I have just been quite busy with my current affairs, in addition to just some lingering exhaustion with the process surrounding the page. I would appreciate some patience on the matter while I try and finish the page when the time is right. There are still some concerns regarding the layout I would like to address regardless, including how the current intro paragraph wasn't meant to be an intro in the first place, but was repurposed by another user. Ornithoptera (talk) 17:58, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

I have edited the article so it will not be up for deletion again for another 6 months. ~Kvng (talk) 18:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ornithoptera, you should read WP:SUSPECT and follow its advice for the 2022 Winnipeg serial killings article. PhilKnight (talk) 14:56, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

It's also written like a news report rather than an encyclopedia article. Much of the text is bound to the current timeframe and will not read well in 6 months time. It leans heavily on the passive voice "it is thought" and the vague "authorities". Cabayi (talk) 10:22, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
