Wow!

Thanks for signing up at WP:GLAM/Delaware Art Museum and producing a great article at Found (Rossetti) right away. I added a link to the Rossitti archive which might be useful. I've also got a 3 (large) page catalogue write up on it, so might add something from there. I think there are earlier version pix available on the web as well. Wanna go for a DYK?

In any case, thanks again. Smallbones (talk) 05:29, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

It'll be long enough before I go to bed tonight. Did you like the calf hook I suggested at wt:GLAM/Delaware Art Museum. I suppose it could be taken the wrong way, but it and the cropped pic should get a lot of attention. Please go ahead and think of a hook for use tomorrow morning. Smallbones (talk) 19:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, I'm all done with it (oops! just found another source - but will probably ignore it). One thing, I dislike the format where all images are forced to the right, so have experimented a bit. Feel free to put the images all to the right if you don't like the experiment, I'll only throw a minor tantrum! Smallbones (talk) 22:35, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Found found its way

Looks like Found is scheduled for DYK at 11am EST Saturday. Thanks!

Have you looked at Commons:The Flower Book by Edward Burne-Jones?

Do you want to send its article to DYK? Smallbones (talk) 15:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Go ahead if you'd like. Or I'll get to it by Sunday. Smallbones (talk) 02:55, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Smallbones (talk) 04:32, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

This got me thinking. In particular (forgive me) I thought you might misinterpret it! So - long story short - see Love's Messenger which will be the perfect Valentines Day DYK. Three problems - time is limited, the article is a bit short and essentially single sourced. Any help appreciated. Smallbones (talk) 21:19, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Robert Kirk (folklorist)

Hi, I think there's an issue with your review. This biography was moved from user space as a new article not as an expansion. As a result, it meets the length minimum of 1,500 characters of prose within the five day nomination period. Could you please look at your review again? Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 00:19, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Edna Clarke Hall

Thanks for taking a look at Edna Clarke Hall and for catching my mistakes! Much appreciated. I came across her the other day while typing up things and was surprised she wasn't already on here - especially given that she was eligible for the centenarian artists list! Not sure if I'm doing the DYK thing wrong though as nobody seems to have taken much notice of my nom - do I need to review 6 noms before mine can be considered? Mabalu (talk) 11:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh and also, thanks for the brilliant discussion over on Polonaise (clothing). Nice work on finding the engraving! Mabalu (talk) 11:41, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good to me

My suggestion is for the cropped pic and to wait until the Valentines Day DYKs clear.

Thanks.

Strange but true

Have you noticed Proserpine (Rossetti painting)? This was started Jan 27 and now the author User:Smintheus Fellin has declared that he is leaving Wikipedia for good. Well, nice almost meeting you! In any case I suggest that I'll do an article on Monna Rosa, the only one of the 6 left without an article (any help appreciated), and we try for a DYK with all 6 titles in the hook. This would require a waiver from the DYK folks, I'm sure, but I think we should ask for a waiver to include Proserpine as well. So the hook might be:

...that six Rossetti "stunners": Monna Rosa, Mnemosyne, The Blessed Damozel, Proserpine, Veronica Veronese (pictured) and Lady Lilith were displayed together in the drawing room of Frederick Leyland?

Actually only 196 characters with spaces, 170 without spaces

Smallbones (talk) 21:46, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, I don't have any commentary anywhere to work from. There is another Rossetti Monna Rosa around, and the sitter for both is Mrs. Leyland. Something might work, but it might be difficult. Smallbones (talk) 22:25, 12 February 2012 (UTC

Well, we can certainly include all of the titles on the hook whether we get DYK credit for more than two of them or not. Let me see if I can find anything on Monna Rosa . I doubt we'll get a waiver, but make your case if you like. - PKM (talk)

Hey, 2 for 2 scheduled for St. Valentine's Day! Monna Rosa's coming along. Your tight-cropped Veronica head looks good. I suppose there's no reason to have Proserpine in bold and I don't really care how they count them, but something about having all 6 in one hook - has me hooked! Thanks. Smallbones (talk) 05:44, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

I think I got the DYK nom up in time (under Feb. 9) Smallbones (talk) 21:45, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

This line contains a typographical error. Also, perhaps you can explain to me what a creator template does on the commons.

March 2012 Move-to-Commons drive

Delivered by MessageDeliveryBot on behalf of WikiProject Images and Media at 07:42, 29 February 2012 (UTC).

Hi PKM! We are a group of students from Professor Rauser's Exhibiting Fashion class at Franklin and Marshall College. We've been in contact with you about splitting the page on 1750-1795 Fashion! We agree with your idea about splitting the page, however we were thinking that two separate pages might be more effective and easier to navigate (instead of having one long page covering the material). What do you think of this idea and let us know if there is any way we can help with the process! Thanks! Hsiegrist (talk) 19:12, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Meetup in NYC ?

Hi, i heard from User:Pharos that you're busy with GLAM stuff in California and visiting NYC the next few weeks. I happen to be working on GLAM stuff in the Netherlands and will be in NYC from 14 - 24 March. If you like, maybe we could meetup somewhere and have coffee together. I'm very interested in hearing your experiences.

Help with GLAM/SIA templates

Hi PKM! I remember you helped with the Wikipedia:GLAM/AAA template menu(s) and I'd love to be able to get your help, if you have time, on creating the template for Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA. I'm thinking that the menu tabs can be the same except "Archivist-Wikimedian collaborations," since that was a bit of a dud during the AAA project, I'd like to replace it with "Events". I'm also thinking perhaps we can find some influence in the colors from the website (though the orange is a bit much?)[1]. Any help would rock, and again, if you're too busy I understand.

1500-1600 in fashion

Easy to miss these drastic but maybe well-informed changes as there have been subsequent edits. I haven't investigated in detail. Hope you are well! Johnbod (talk) 03:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing these out; I had missed them...been busy in commons. On first glance, I think they are probably okay, though awfully England-centric for a general survey - I am familiar with those websites, though I am not sure they would count as reliable sources if one was being super-picky. I'll take a closer look. The scarves are an interesting case; rarely mentioned in costume references, but they are in portraits and inventories. - PKM (talk) 16:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Coordinator sought for the US National Archives WikiProject

Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!

We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.

Please see the full information at Wikipedia:GLAM/NARA/Coordinator and contact me is you have any questions. Feel free to pass this note along to any interested parties. Thanks! Dominic·t 21:05, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
