A challenging surname fix

I found another article in dire need of fixing: Constanze Mozart. This one will be a challenge, as there will probably be resistance to referring to her as "Mozart" (and you'll have to be careful that the new wording isn't confusing). I've put it on my watchlist, so I'll know if you need back-up. I may try fixing it myself at some point if you don't get around to it. Cheers! Kaldari (talk) 00:40, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing, I'll get to it later this week. Cheers! Spaceanddeath (talk) 03:28, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Meguey Baker

The article Meguey Baker has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no claims of notability. no references whatsoever.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Tracer9999 (talk) 15:34, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Come hang out with us!

Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, women in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 02:22, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

RFC at Wikipedia for page protection

Last call for opinions on RFC at Wikipedia page for page protection extension. User:Pundit is in support of increasing gender equality at Wikipedia and another user is opposed to User:Pundit's efforts. Cheers. LawrencePrincipe (talk) 17:15, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Emily Care Boss

Hello, Spaceanddeath,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Emily Care Boss should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emily Care Boss .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Karlhard (talk) 01:58, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to talk to you for a second. I waited until after AFD was closed, because sometimes when people mention these kinds of things, it turns into "oh, thanks, I didn't know about those - let's delete them too!" and I definitely wanted to avoid that kind of attention. Anyway, during the AFD you mentioned Jared Sorensen, Clinton R. Nixon or Vincent Baker as examples of "other designers on the scene whose pages are not and never have been in challenge for deletion", but... that's actually not true. I have done a lot of work on restoring deleted game designer pages in the past year or so, and that does include each of those three. Sorensen was deleted in 2009 after a WP:PROD (the same process that initially killed ECB's article), Nixon's article was redirected in 2011 to avoid deletion based on a PROD, and Baker's article was likewise deleted via PROD in 2010. In the case of Sorensen and Nixon, I restored them myself and added one good source that I have; this is still kind of flimsy coverage, and to be honest someone could easily come along and try to send them to AFD, and I would argue to have them sent to draft space to avoid deletion again. For Baker, another user rewrote the article entirely, and yet another use tried to delete it with PROD, so after the PROD was removed I restored the edit history and added anything useful from that older version and did what I could to help the article get into better shape. I guess the moral of the story is to do the best you can to improve sourcing on articles before someone comes along to try to delete them - especially biographies of living people!

Inspire Campaign Idea

Hi Spaceanddeath. Thanks so much for submitting your idea on the Gender Gap Advocacy Task Force. It's an interesting idea that we'd really like to explore more. If you're interested, please think about expanding your idea into a grant proposal (following the button at the bottom of the idea page). The campaign ends today, but you can let me know if you need a few more days. Cheers, Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 19:52, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
