Progetto WikiDonne

Ciao. Ti segnalo il progetto WikiDonne in itwiki (la variante italiana di WikiWomen), dove mi farebbe immenso piacere averti con noi. Molto spesso traduciamo voci dall'inglese, e avere qualcuno che lo parla molto meglio di noi sarebbe di grande aiuto, visto l'immenso lavoro che c'è fa fare. Potrebbe succedere anche il contrario, per esempio, che siano punti di partenza le nostre voci. In uno degli editathon comuni, una nostra collega di WikiWomen in Red aveva tradotto la voce scritta in itwiki della biologa e fisiologa Lidia Mannuzzu (tradotta poi anche in catalano), cancellata in seguito perché l'autrice è stata bloccata. Devo dire che mi stupisce parecchio questo fatto, come se le voci avessero a che fare con le utenze, fossero legate in qualche modo. Se ti fa piacere potresti iniziare da qui. Grazie ;-), --Camelia (talk) 10:08, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Camelia, Grazie, se devo essere sincera, mi trovo meglio a scrivere in inglese e non sono una brava traduttrice. Non me la sentirei di iniziare un articolo da zero in italiano, ma se c'è qualcosa da tradurre non troppo complicato sono a disposizione. Quando dico non troppo complicato è perchè non ho studiato da traduttrice e neanche lingue/lettere (sono laureata in economia) di conseguenza non mi sento in grado di tradurre qualcosa di molto letterario, non farei un buon lavoro. Per quanto riguarda gli accounts, come hai notato, ci sono seri problemi qui in Misplaced Pages, ma ho promesso di essere positiva e di non guardare le cose brutte (come utenti che ad un gentile commento rispondono con la parola "f..k" ad una donna... e poi quando glielo faccio notare, dicono agli altri che è troppo stressante lavorare con me...) Ma c'è un link che posso navigare per vedere cosa c'è da fare?--Elisa.rolle (talk) 10:59, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Your efforts to be positive are very much appreciated! (I read Italian much better than I speak and write it.)–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:47, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

La voci da scrivere ex novo sono più difficili perché presuppongono un grande lavoro, dalla ricerca delle fonti fino alla parte finale, per questo spesso traduciamo. Ma spesso arricchiamo anche o correggiamo le inesattezze delle versioni in altre lingue. Insomma c'è un grande lavoro di contaminazione tra le edizioni, visto anche la nostra partecipazione al progetto globale Women in red. Qui e qui sono le voci mancanti, ne troverai parecchie. Mensilmente organizziamo editathon online (anche 2-3 al mese) insieme alle WiR: questo mese women in dance, women in music, women from India. pulsanti in altro al progetto, anche sulle singole pagine ci sono voci proposte. Grazie, --Camelia (talk) 11:14, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Camelia, ma posso tradurre un articolo dall'inglese in italiano? che referenze devo dare? per esempio sarei interessata ad Anne Fausto Sterling, che è la compagna di Paula Vogel... --Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:41, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Reminders

You've been doing a great job on the recent articles. I think that I have been running across some issues that came up from your initial drafts of the articles and so I created the following checklist of the types of things that have come up. This doesn't mean that all of these are issues right now, but is hopefully a good list of reminders. There's so much to learn, I hope this helps!

Alex Shih or anyone else with ideas, do you see anything you would change, delete or add?–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:48, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Please feel free to make direct edits.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:49, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Added the last item.–CaroleHenson (talk) 03:05, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Can I move this to a {{essay}} under subpage? Alex Shih 03:54, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Sure.–CaroleHenson (talk) 04:33, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Grace Hutchins

On 27 July 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Grace Hutchins, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Grace Hutchins promoted a radical Christian pacifist movement in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Grace Hutchins. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Grace Hutchins), 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.

Precious

historic lesbian women

Thank you for quality articles such as Grace Hutchins and Clementina Anstruther-Thomson, performed in collaboration, for good illustrations conveying moods, for not giving up in frustration but trying again, - Elisa, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:30, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hey Gerda, thank you for your DYK review on Clementina Anstruther-Thomson. I will respond to them soon, thanks again as always. Alex Shih 09:32, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt and Alex Shih, thank you to both of you for encouragement. --Elisa.rolle (talk) 10:35, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Ben Zuckerman

Hi Elisa! I was absolutely surprised to discover you had started an article on Ben Zuckerman - he had been on my to-do list for ages, but I didn't expect you to be the one to create the article! I am now really intrigued, hope you'll forgive my being nosey but could I ask how you lighted upon Zuckerman as an article subject? Mabalu (talk) 14:34, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Mabalu, he is on my book of long-term relationships for his partnership in work and life with Shactner, but you are more than welcome to improve the article.--Elisa.rolle (talk) 14:36, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Katharine Peabody Loring

Hello! Your submission of Katharine Peabody Loring at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 21:05, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

• Elisa.rolle: Sorry I had to revert the information you added in the article, because they are extraneous details that does not contribute to the notability of Katharine. As the reviewer pointed out, there needs to be more information about her outside of Alice James and Louisa, presumably focusing on Katharine's work as educator and post-Alice James activities. I could not find much information about those areas when I was doing the research, but if you have any information on those areas it would be nice. Thanks! Alex Shih 21:48, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Alex Shih: I think I found many info on Katharine Loring's background other than Alice James. Please have a look, more than this I'm not sure is available.--Elisa.rolle (talk) 23:05, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I will copyedit the additions later, hopefully it will be Main Page bound soon too. Alex Shih 23:19, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Elisa.rolle: Please refer to the subject by her surname on the second and subsequent mentions, per WP:SURNAME. It's also degrading to women to call her by her first name throughout the article. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:53, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Sorry, I was the one that did that per MOS:SAMESURNAME and the sources, I am not sure if degradation is relevant, thanks. But I agree the usage should be limited. Alex Shih 04:29, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I notice you've been improving the article. When you think your DYK nomination is ready for re-review, please let me know on the DYK template. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:54, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Please see new note on your DYK nomination. Yoninah (talk) 18:19, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Asking for help vs Canvassing (defining the thing) :)

Hi Elisa! I just wanted to make sure that you know it's always OK to ask for help when working on an article. Asking for a copyedit or reference help is always a good thing to do on Misplaced Pages. We even have a Guild of Copy Editors that you may want to look at.

People accuse others of canvassing when they ask too broadly for help when an article is being discussed for some reason, like at AfD. In this case, you can still always let someone know about it, but the best way to alert people in a neutral way is to post that it's up for discussion or deletion on a relevant WikiProject talk page like WiR instead of on individual editor pages.

Figuring out what's canvassing or not is tough, but I don't want you to get stuck in that again. At the same time, I don't want you to be afraid to ask for help. We're here to do that. You're doing great and I'm glad to see your new articles. Keep it up! :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:18, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

@Megalibrarygirl: If I could gently object to the word 'accuse'...? — fortunavelut luna 12:31, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, you're right. I should have cautioned against the appearance of canvassing instead of implying accusations. Also please understand I didn't mean to implicate you in this: you were trying to help. There have been other issues I was thinking of when I wrote this. I was trying to help here, too and didn't express myself clearly. Please accept my apology. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Please let me know if you are in any kind of trouble. I see your user page has been blanked. In any case, I'm please to see you have become a member of Women in Red. We have some exciting new developments for August - see below.--Ipigott (talk) 09:07, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Megalibrarygirl and Ipigott, thank you. May I ask something? I have an AfD on Lillie Rose Ernst (https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lillie_Rose_Ernst) that I'm sure it was a mistake of the nominator, as well explained by Timothyjosephwood, he did not have the time to analyze the sources to take such decision. 4 opinion other than mine are for Keep, noone is supporting the AfD proposal. One editor asked the nominator to withdraw his proposal, but he has not reply nor in positive nor in negative. How long we have to wait to close the topic? Who can remove the tag other than the nominator?--Elisa.rolle (talk) 12:09, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Normally AfDs run for a week, sometimes longer if there is no clear consensus, and sometime shorter if the nomination is withdrawn, if it is closed as speedy keep, and in some other circumstances. The AfD tag on the article is normally removed by a person who formally closes a discussion, who is supposed to be an experienced editor who is uninvolved in the discussion they're closing. While it is often seen as good form, there is no explicit requirement that the nominator withdraw the nomination in cases where the consensus clearly seems to be against them, whether they maintain their opinion that the article should be deleted, or whether they are simply inactive at the moment.

Overall, I wouldn't be too concerned if I were you. At the end of the day, AfD doesn't just establish a consensus for deletion, but it may also establish a strong consensus that the article should be kept, and this has a protective effect, since renominating an article which had a strong consensus to be kept can be seen as disruptive. TimothyJosephWood 12:26, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

If I were you, Elisa, I wouldn't be too concerned about when the tag is removed. The important thing is that the article will remain on the main space. I realize it is not very pleasant to have one of the articles you have created tagged in this way but this sort of thing happens quite frequently on Misplaced Pages. My advice is to take advantage of the discussion to improve on the drafting and sourcing of your future articles. Keep smiling and keep surprising us with interesting new articles.--Ipigott (talk) 14:30, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm glad to see that the discussion has been closed and the article has been kept.--Ipigott (talk) 14:34, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Source

Just FYI, but if you search the Missouri History Museum's online collection for The Potter's Wheel, it looks like they have much of the publication available online, and since it was published prior to 1923, much or all of it could potentially be uploaded to Commons if it's useful, and of course could be used and quoted as much as is useful on Misplaced Pages. TimothyJosephWood 15:17, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Timothyjosephwood, thank you. Yes, I red-linked all the Potters, cause other than Teasdale, and now Ernst, they are all missing in Misplaced Pages. I think the next right candidates to have a page are the Parrish Sisters, their photos have been exhibited widely and they are now at the Library of Congress (but not digitalized...) --Elisa.rolle (talk) 15:20, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I'm going to ping User:Fæ to this discussion, since they're a Commons wizard, and may know a way to upload this content using semi-automation. TimothyJosephWood 19:44, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Timothyjosephwood, I have uploaded some, but just some photos I will need for the profiles. All the art work I did not upload and there are more than 800 records. --Elisa.rolle (talk) 19:47, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

If anyone can figure it out it's Fae. They've uploaded so many images that it breaks the tool that measures how many images someone has uploaded. Otherwise, I have two other projects that I need to finish, but I'll try to help out. TimothyJosephWood 20:16, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

I've left a note to myself on my Commons page to look at it. May take a while. The archives look messy for copyright, as in this example some of the documents state the work is copyrighted when they are obviously public domain under U.S. law. I also have to take time to review the site terms, just in case they want to prosecute anyone doing systematic downloading. BTW, I am a big project person. I normally want to reserve my time for several thousand sized upload projects; this may or may not end up being that size. --Fæ (talk) 20:27, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Fæ, Yes, I noticed it, and that is the reason why I took just some, basically photo of the Potters, considering photos are for sure covered by Public Domain if before 1923. --Elisa.rolle (talk) 20:29, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

• Just in case you're interested and haven't seen it already, there is apparently a site here that has really high quality scans of the Potters Wheel. Unfortunately, they're high quality enough that they pretty much immediately crash my browser if I try to download them. I managed to get two, but had to then resort to uploading the lower quality scans at the MO Hist Museum. TimothyJosephWood 18:13, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Timothyjosephwood, yes, that is the website where I found some bio info of the Potters.--Elisa.rolle (talk) 18:17, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

I'll probably try again on a different computer this evening. Also... I'm seriously tempted to print off some of this stuff and frame it. TimothyJosephWood 18:54, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Timothyjosephwood, LOL, I will be remembered like the one who made you fall in love with 10 girls from the 1900s... --Elisa.rolle (talk) 18:59, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Uploads started with c:File:The Potter's Wheel, Volume 2, Number 8, page 22, June 1906.jpg. Hopefully this will finish overnight as I'm away for a few days, so if it gets stuck it may have to wait until next week. Further sub-categorization on Commons would be sensible when it looks complete. BTW, these are original scan sizes, and so should be a great deal larger than some pre-existing versions in the main category c:Category:The Potter's Wheel, so old versions may be worth deleting using c:template:duplicate. At the original size, they may be a good to create derivative crops from, if any are needed. I suspect they are the same size as the versions from Yale, but that's something to investigate later.

It's worth highlighting the example of File:The Potter's Wheel, Volume 2, Number 9, page 32, July 1906.png (950 × 590 pixels) which can now be superseded with File:The Potter's Wheel, Volume 2, Number 9, page 32, July 1906.jpg (5,719 × 7,182 pixels) though the extracted crop will need redoing. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 21:49, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Well Fæ, I uh... You kindof seemed like you had other irons in the fire, so I started manually uploading. Looks like the most I've done is make a mess that needs cleaned up. TimothyJosephWood 22:18, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

I thought it was going to be rather more work, but I managed to skip having to use cookies. No hurry to do the housekeeping. I've made huge messes in the past and it's always better to have a go rather than never get to it. So long as the MHM does not redesign too much, the way I'm doing this can be reused to upload other stuff at some point. --Fæ (talk) 22:35, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

You may be interested that I have generalized the script I was using, and kicked off a batch upload of everything before 1923. The results are building up at c:Category:Collections of the Missouri History Museum. There's lots of interest, including many historical records relating to the Civil War and emancipation in the United States. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 15:30, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Resilient Barnstar
	For tireless contributions to biographies of often overlooked figures. Alex Shih 02:27, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Nice to see that you are nominating articles for DYK too. The number of nominations for biographies have been low recently, so if some of these can get approved it would be great help. Regards, Alex Shih 02:30, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

A few more tips on women's biographies

Hi Elisa. I see you are continuing to make progress on the EN wiki and you seem to be learning quickly from the advice you have received. I think I've now been through most of the interesting articles you have written in connection with Women in Red. May I suggest you add the template {{Authority control}} to all your biographies. In many cases, it will turn up links on the variants to the person's name and to the works created, etc. I have been adding it to the articles you have created up to now -- so you don't need to go back over them. Similarly, you should add {{DEFAULTSORT:}} in order to ensure the article appears correctly in lists of categories, etc. In most cases, the family name should come first and the given names afterwards. An article on Elisa Rolle would then appear as {{DEFAULTSORT:Rolle, Elisa}}. You'll find DEFAULTSORT under Wiki markup at the bottom of the pages you create or edit. If you click on it, it will appear in the article at the point where your cursor is placed. I realize that as a native Italian speaker, you still experience a few difficulties with English. It might be useful for your to look through some of the copy edits to your articles in order to try to avoid systematic errors. There are not too many but some appear quite frequently. I also recommend you look at SusunW's guidelines on Misplaced Pages:Creating biographies on women. I've also seen that in some cases you had used more than one WIR template on the talk pages of your articles. In most cases, just one template is sufficient unless you are writing articles which happen to cover more than one of our current editathons, for example one on an indigenous woman who is also Canadian. If you need any further help, please let me know.

And by the way, if you feel like "translating" or recreating articles from the IT wiki, you will find many interesting women listed at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Italy. I would however advise you to try to find links to sources for each paragraph as the EN wiki tends to be stricter than the Italian version. If you would like to give it a try, I can try to help you along.--Ipigott (talk) 15:45, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Re: Bruce Cratsley

I think they looks fine now too, {{GFDL}} solves many problems. The system automatically tags images for deletion if you use non-free copyrights template without a permission template. Another great work by the way. Alex Shih 23:58, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Alex Shih, thank you. And since I did find a solution for this one alone ;-) may I bother you with something else? my article for Christian William Miller, that I think was a long due given the interest characters he was, was tagged for deletion on the account the statement "he was the most beautiful man" was unsourced (who tagged it said "say who?"). Of course it wasn't unsourced, it's actually in a book by Kaiser who is a Gay Historian of well-known fame and the source was in the article. Then they changed position saying he wasn't an artist worth of notability, and again I proved them wrong, giving evidences. The only opinion is for a Keep, to which someone contested the connection with Kinsey, a connection that is even in the biography of the same Kinsey, and supported by Papers held at Yale University... to close the point, I think there is enough for notability and for the article to remain. It's more than 5 days an no one supported the deletion. May I do something more? just wait? https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Christian_William_Miller --Elisa.rolle (talk) 00:07, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

I saw the nomination. Articles for deletion discussions are usually listed for 7 days, unless if there is a clear consensus early on. Usually after that someone will close the discussion, in this case if no one else does I will so yeah, maybe wait. Couple points though:

• Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Words to watch, extraordinary claims should be avoided even if it's sourced (instead of "...the most", "one of the most" is probably better)
• Is it okay to use * (like here) to present your comments in easier readable bullet forms? Perhaps maybe write shorter too since the longer you write, the less likely people are going to read (unfortunately). It's also nice to use {{tq}} to change the color of the text when you are referencing a source material, this makes it easier to read too. Regards, Alex Shih 00:33, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Adeline Palmier Wagoner

You asked about her birth date. My guess is she is this one but I cannot prove that and there was another Adeline Wagoner from St. Louis born in a similar time frame. Your Adeline lied about her age. On the 1910 census she was 35, i.e. born 1875 . While possible, if she was married for 20 years, she married at 15 and her mother (born 1837 gave birth to her at 38). Looks like she was enumerated twice in 1920, on 6th January with her husband, both were age 54, i.e. born 1866 and three days later at her son's house age 52, born 1868 . I find no census records for her parents at all, which is weird. There is a lengthy obit at newspapers.com, but I cannot access it yet. My request for extra publishing hasn't yet gone through. SusunW (talk) 20:23, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Hmmm, I am like 100% sure that this, i.e. Bessie (Elizabeth?) was her sister Her husband Walter S. Dray's will names "Addie Wagoner", his wife's sister, and his son Walter R. Though Find-a-grave is not a reliable source, Walter Remy's entry links to Bessie M. As this says Adeline is younger than Mrs. Dray, so 1860s dates seem more likely. SusunW (talk) 21:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

yes, I think the 1868 is the good one... these women, always the same, aren't they?--Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:53, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Clementina Anstruther-Thomson

On 6 August 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Clementina Anstruther-Thomson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Berenice Wyer

(SusunW, help in finding birth and death date? :-) --Elisa.rolle (talk) 11:29, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay, birth date found with parent's names. Death date as yet elusive. This shows they stayed in St. Louis until 1920. This shows they had moved to Massachusetts by 1930 and she was still performing , . They seem to have stayed in Brookline, Massachusetts. This shows, as least the major was still living there in 1948. SusunW (talk) 16:01, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Major died in 1961, I found the obituary in an "Harvard Alumni Bulletin, Volume 63", but I could not read it all.--Elisa.rolle (talk) 16:20, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Reviews at DYK

Elisa.rolle, I was pleased to note that you have been nominating many articles for Did You Know of late. Before this, articles you worked on were nominated by other people, but these recent ones have been your own nominations.

DYK has a requirement called QPQ, or the Quid Pro Quo review. Basically, it means that for each DYK nomination you make, you are required to do a full review of a DYK nomination by someone else. The review involves checking to make sure the nomination was made soon enough after creation/expansion/becoming a GA, that the article is long enough, that it is neutral, contains no close paraphrasing or copyvio, that the hook is neutral, short enough, interesting, and is properly sourced with an inline source citation, that the article itself is adequately sourced and written in adequate English, etc.

We give new nominators at DYK a grace period: your first five nominations do not require a QPQ. Since you have so many active nominations—far beyond five, two of which have been placed into prep areas—I thought it was best to "assign" the five "free" nominations to already approved nominations as follows:

• L. Fidelia Woolley Gillette (Prep 3)
• Maren Michelet (Prep 4)
• Alma Lutz (July 31)
• Anita Calvert Lebourgeoise (August 5)
• Amabel Anderson Arnold (August 5)

Alma, Anita, and Amabel are the three oldest of your unpromoted approved nominations, and thus the most likely to be promoted in the next days. All of the others will need QPQ reviews, both on the approved DYK noms page and the regular DYK noms page. You will want to start reviewing sooner rather than later, so your nominations are not delayed unduly because you haven't completed QPQs for them. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me or another DYK regular know. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:16, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your heroic work reviewing so many nominations to satisfy your QPQ requirement. Unfortunately, it appears I had the rule wrong: after you have five DYK credits, you have to do QPQ reviews. Your first three credits are already on this page: Grace Hutchins and the other two. The Gillette and Michelet nominations will be your final two free credits, which means that Alma, Anita, and Amabel will require QPQs. I apologize for saying that you won't need QPQs for them, because I wasn't correct about that.

One thing I neglected to include in the second paragraph about DYK review requirements is that you need to check to see whether the nominator has included a QPQ review, and if not, whether they should have. If they should have but didn't, the tick should not be given. And you need to sign all of your posts on nominations pages, especially reviews. Thanks for your patience!

Hi, I notice you've submitted a lot of DYKs lately! Just a note that most of your hooks have to do with the woman being the "first".

Wiki-Project Oregon articles

Hi... I’ve noticed you created several bio articles about individual who lived in Oregon and thus have Wiki-Project Oregon tags on article Talk pages … thank you for contributing content to Wiki-Oregon. You rated the two articles I saw as Medium importance. I changed both to Low which is in line with Wiki-Oregon criterion discussed on our Assessment page. Over the years Wiki-Oregon has been very careful not to inflate importance or quality ratings … though there are probably some examples to the contrary out there. Here are three examples of articles about other people from Klamath Falls to compare with Wanda Brown Shaw. Henry Semon was a very successful farmer and one of the longest serving state representatives in Oregon history …his bio article is rated Low importance. George H. Merryman was a pioneer doctor, state reprehensive, state senator, and built the first modern hospital in Klamath Falls … his bio article is also rated Low importance. The bio article on Edward A. Geary is rated Medium importence … that is because he was Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives and served briefly as acting governor of Oregon. As a side note, it’s general practice within Misplaced Pages to allow members of a specific project to grade articles related to that project … also self-assessments are not common (e.g while I created the three example articles above, their quality/importance ratings were done by another Wiki-Oregon editor). Wiki-Oregon is a very active group and we grade things pretty quickly once our New Oregon Article bot identifies new work. Let me close by once again thanking you for adding Wiki-Oregon related content … new articles are always welcome.--Orygun (talk) 21:57, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Orygun: may you please tell me which banner to use "without grade"? I put medium since the people I'm writing an article about were included in a book about women living in Oregon beginning of the XX century, and they were highlighted among others. Therefore I assumed their importance from there. But I'm more than willing to let other evaluate the grade. Elisa.rolle (talk) 22:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Just leave the class and importance sections blank … e.g. {WikiProject Oregon|class= |importance= }}. Someone from Wiki-Oregon will do assessment and fill in blanks with appropriate ratings. Regarding your source, ensuring notability is first step in identifying a subject suitable for Misplaced Pages … i.e. to qualify for inclusion in Misplaced Pages a subject (in this case, a person) must have bio facts cited in reliable third-party source (usually more than one). Books like the one you cited were common during early part of 20th century and are very useful in identifying notable people to write about; however, good sources don’t create importance. If you review Wiki-Oregon criterion for Medium important, we’re looking for people who had significant state-wide impact on some aspect of Oregon history, politics, geography, culture, etc., or have a modest level of national importance. People whose importance is local or less than significant at the state level are rated as Low importance. I don’t know about other Wiki-Project, but in Wiki-Oregon only 12% of our article are rated Medium, little over 2% are rated High, and a very small number (106) articles warrant Top importance.--Orygun (talk) 22:56, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
