BBC 100 Women editathon and article creation[edit]

Hi Andrew (long time no see!). As you created an article on this list (the 160+ articles created on the day of the BBC 100 Women editathon), can you take a look and help out, or add any articles you know that were created that might be missing? Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 23:18, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have already added work created by new editors that I assisted during the event and will continue to help out. Andrew D. (talk) 23:42, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Furra[edit]

I have noted two issues with your DYK nomination here. To meet the expansion requirement, you'll need to add another 100 words or so. I've also requested the hook be rewritten to clarify the claim is folklore. Thanks, Argento Surfer (talk) 16:07, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On 9 March 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Furra, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that men and women from the Sidama people sing radically different songs about Queen Furra? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Furra. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Furra), 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.

Wiener Library[edit]

Bertha Bracey[edit]

Hi, I put your hook in the quirky slot in Prep 1. (1) Two questions: Is there any reason why you don't identify her as a Quaker? (2) Are you calling her a Hero of the Holocaust, linked to British Hero of the Holocaust, because it sounds hookier? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:29, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • The last slot is fine. The proper name of the award is Hero of the Holocaust. Other details such as the fact that she was a British Quaker are not needed in the hook and so would tend to dilute its impact. WP:DYKHOOK states that hooks should be "short, punchy, catchy ... and ... Shorter hooks are preferred to longer ones". Both her name and the name of the award have a nice alliteration – BB / HH – and so adding other words would spoil this. Andrew D. (talk) 00:46, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK. Thanks for the explanations. Yoninah (talk) 01:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoninah: You're welcome and I appreciate being consulted about such issues. I am especially keen to make a good impact in this case as I plan to let staff at the Wiener Library know that their efforts are bearing fruit. The Quakers might be interested too. Andrew D. (talk) 01:14, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The outcome was 8,315 hits on the day, which is quite good for a non-picture hook. The Wiener Library is quite pleased with this good result. The German Wikipedia has translated the topic and they are doing good work with it too. Andrew D. (talk) 09:53, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On 22 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bertha Bracey, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Dear Andrew Davidson, Do you still have the original image of File:Annie N. Josephus Jitta by Hendrik Maarten Krabbé from the collection of J.C. Zadoks.jpg? The painter died in 1931, so there's no need to only display a lowres image. I think the image could also be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in higher res. Is that a correct assumption? Vysotsky (talk) 13:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vysotsky: My upload was at a higher resolution but someone has deleted that version. I suppose that an admin can recover it so you might try WP:REFUND but I don't have that power myself. I'm not sure if I kept the image file but will keep an eye out for it.
Also, it's a curious coincidence that you should ask about it as I was re-reading that article earlier today when it appeared on my watchlist for a different reason.

"There Are No Coincidences". Vysotsky (talk) 14:26, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Vysotsky: Aha, I suppose that you monitor the category which was added. Anyway, I have done some digging using the Wayback Machine and find that the URL that I specified for the image changed as a result of some site maintenance: it is now this. Note that there's an option to download the image and also that there are lots of other images by the same artist on that site. I will update the resolution and licensing for that particular image in line with your suggestion while you could investigate the other images. Ok? Andrew D. (talk) 15:55, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Thanks for digging up the pearls. I will retreat my request for undeletion and upload the image to Commons myself. I only need this 1 image. Vysotsky (talk) 16:01, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Women on 5 pounds a day- nearly in the red.[edit]

I plucked this story out of the Guardian- I thought Helen Pridd had done a good job. Samira Kitman is the result. Can you work your magic on it- and we can see if there is any mileage in following this route in future. It would be nice to know if her barr ister quotes us in court! --ClemRutter (talk) 10:36, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
