Treetopz
Welcome!
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 22:35, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
See the article talk page for why we use she/her for Feinberg: Wikipedia is written for a general audience, and Leslie was quite clear about this. The Medium piece is not sourced and the material in it is already covered by other sources. When contributing to Wikipedia, please read the articles and sources first, and see how your additions will fit in, to make sure you're not duplicating content or throwing the timeline off. Best, - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 22:39, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Kimi Hanauer
editI'm concerned about the claim that "They can also be found in library collections at various museums, including The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I'd suggest that rather than citing Press Press, you cite the museum collections. I'm not having much luck with those, however: https://whitney.org/collection/works?q%5Bsearch_cont%5D=Kimi%20Hanauer&q%5Bhas_image_true%5D=1 https://www.moma.org/collection/works?locale=en&utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Kimi+Hanauer&date_begin=Pre-1850&date_end=2020 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search#!?q=Kimi%20Hanauer https://www.sfmoma.org/?s=Kimi+Hanauer Do you have better references? Vexations (talk) 20:35, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Vexations: Good point and thanks for catching that. While many online biographies of Kimi Hanauer did mention that her work was found in museum library collections, I also couldn't directly verify from the collections themselves. For this reason, I removed that sentence from the article. Thanks! Treetopz (talk) 20:50, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- Treetopz, sometimes those library holdings, especially when they're artist books can be cited. Some libraries have special collections for that kind of work. Not sure what I'd be looking for however, and "Press Press" is difficult in a lot of search queries. For example (from a library that I'm familiar with): http://library.ago.net/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=1Q8F30697868J.13769&profile=agolib&source=~!sibyl&view=subscriptionsummary&uri=full=3100001~!35885~!0&ri=6&aspect=subtab24&menu=search&ipp=20&spp=20&staffonly=&term=Sally+McKay&index=.AA&uindex=&aspect=subtab24&menu=search&ri=6 Vexations (talk) 21:09, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Vexations: Thanks for the tip & noted for future reference. Treetopz (talk) 23:26, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
edit
Hello Treetopz, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Kimi Hanauer have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:20, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

editHey, thanks for your work on the article! I wrote the Trash Market article and you really zeroed in on his concerns. I'm hoping to write an article for Slum Wolf one day too. P.S. titles of publications (books/magazines), as well as non-English terms (e.g. romanized Japanese) should be italicized. Opencooper (talk) 01:04, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Opencooper: Thank you so much for the message! I would love to see an article on Slum Wolf; the book is sitting on my bookshelf :) Also, thanks for the note about italicizing publication names. I'll be sure to do that in the future. Treetopz (talk) 02:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Camp Jened, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Miami Film Festival (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

DYK for Essex Market
edit
On 28 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Essex Market, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Essex Market was built as part of New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia's "war on pushcarts"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Essex Market. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Essex Market), 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.

Citations that don't support what they are cited for
editThank you for your work on Police brutality in the United States. But please make sure that the sources you cite actually support the information you are citing them for. That was not the case in this edit - the paper makes no such claim about rate or magnitude of police brutality in general, only about specific kinds of impacts (particularly on public opinion); and in any case it dates from 2002 and thus can't support such a sweeping present-tense assertion. Regards, HaeB (talk) 07:36, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- @HaeB: Thanks for reaching out! I actually didn't add that source; it's been a part of the page from before I began editing it (for example, check out this diff from June 4th). I think it was added in this diff. I merely copy-edited the phrasing in the sentence. However, I did also add some new & specific data to the paragraph from a book, which you can find in the diff. Thanks, and I understand how me revising the sentence could easily make it seem that I added the original source. Treetopz (talk) 12:55, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. However, I was actually not saying you had been the first editor to add Weitzer's paper to the article. Rather, the issue is that you were citing it for new information you added to the article, and that it does not support that information. Let's look at the statement in the lede that it was cited for, before and after your change:
Highly publicized incidents of police misconduct have adverse effects, both on the victims and on the public perception of the implicated police departments. As of 2002, the magnitude and longevity of such effects have rarely been investigated.
- was changed to:
The rate, magnitude, and impact of police brutality in the United States has not been properly documented or investigated.
- That's not merely "copy-edit[ing] the phrasing". The scope of the new statement is much larger, for example because:
- You deleted the qualifier "As of 2002"; but all kinds of documentation or investigation could have happened in the last eighteen years since the cited paper was published.
- You extended the claim from the direct impact of "highly publicized incidents" on victims and the public image of the involved police departments to all kinds of impact and overall statistics.
- There are similar problems with several other of your edits; here is another example:
- [1]: Maybe there were cases of police brutality at these 1967 Dow protests, but the PBS article you cited does not say that.
- Again, I appreciate your contributions overall, but please be aware that a lot of people rely on Wikipedia (especially for topics like this currently), so we have an important responsibility to get things right.
- Regards, HaeB (talk) 04:24, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- @HaeB: Hey, thanks for clarifying. As for the Dow Chemical protests, the PBS article stated: "...when Dow returned that October, the protests and police response marked the first time that a campus antiwar demonstration had turned violent." I wrote of "violent confrontations," which is similar, so I'm confused why that didn't work? Anyway, I'll be more careful in the future and try to add a secondary reference in such cases. As for the issue with copy-editing the older citation, I really should have honestly just removed the original citation, since the citation that I added (from Verso books) also stated that the magnitude of the issue had not been properly documented (rather than just using the citation later in the paragraph). Anyway, thanks again for patiently explaining where you're coming from. Treetopz (talk) 04:40, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Women in Red
editHi there, Treetopz, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have been following our activities for some time and have already written two detailed biographies of women. As for finding people to write about, I suggest you look carefully through our various redlink lists. As you seem to be mainly interested in Americans, the crowd-sourced lists should be particularly useful. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:19, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Ipigott! I actually would like to write about more non-Americans, so the redlinks will be helpful in that regard. Appreciate it :)
