Women in Red

Hi there, BostonMensa. I have been looking through all the biographies of women you have recently created. Although you have been tagging them with WIR banners, as far as I can see you are not yet a member of Women in Red. You can join by registering in the box at the top of the page. Keep up the good work. It's a great help in reducing the gender gap. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:04, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Harry W. Hill (politician)

Hi there. Cats are definitely not my strong point, but I don't see where any of the other cats in that article overlap Arizona politicians. What did I miss? Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:26, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

the category Arizona state senators means by definition they are an Arizona politician. BostonMensa (talk) 16:48, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. But I don't think that's what duplication of cats means. My understanding is that for that to be true, Arizona politicians would be a sub-category of Arizona State Senators, which it is not. The only reason I bring this up, is that I was not adding the AZ pol cat to my articles, but another editor, who does extensive cat work, began to add it to all my articles. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

I don’t remember if I said duplicate or redundant. To me it is no different than putting a series of categories for Mayor Of Boston, Mayors in Eastern Massachusetts, Mayors In Massachusetts, Mayors in Southern New England, Mayors in the NE US, Mayors in the US, Mayors in North America, Mayors in the Western Hemisphere all the way up to Mayora in the Milky Way. At some point you say enough is enough. BostonMensa (talk) 23:30, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. After I left my message above, I asked a question over on the Cat project page. We are both right. . But in the end, AZ State Senators is a Subcat subcat subcat subcat of Arizona politicians. So I'll no longer add it. Thanks again. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:44, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Mo problem. I see it as a learning opportunity to ask questions like this. BostonMensa (talk) 00

Hi there, I wanted to let you know you don't need to add your signature if just adding a WikiProject banner to talk pages, like at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ashley_Merriman&oldid=1118788321. Keep up the good work overall though! -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:08, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

I don’t. It has been added automatically for so,e time now! BostonMensa (talk) 12:29, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Ah! It's no harm, so probably not worth digging into. :) Must be some automated script somewhere! -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:39, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Gary Sullivan (restaurateur), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "BostonMensa", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be the name of an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 19:54, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Hawaiian Airlines Flight 35

WP:NOTNEWS means that yes, the article is about something in the news, but no, enwiki is not a newspaper, and things which are in the news but are unlikely to have WP:SUSTAINED coverage shouldn't have an article anyway. Having 3, 4, 5 news articles as sources doesn't invalidate a NOTNEWS deletion. Fram (talk) 21:17, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

I looked at the link provided and chose my words based on what it said there. I was making a distinction between an airline crash that received that kind of coverage versus an automobile accident with, at worse minor injuries to maybe two people and which is not wiki worthy. This article may or not be as well but I saw it being newsworthy based on the criteria I saw there. Take it to AFD since the prod was contested. I will not argue with the consensus. BostonMensa (talk) 21:34, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Bottom line, you cited the not news link. I haven’t looked at the sustained link but if it says what I think it does, and you had cited that, I would have left the prod. I simply didn’t agree with your argument. BostonMensa (talk) 21:37, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Rialto (restaurant). Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:12, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red

Hi there, BostonMensa, and welcome to Women in Red. I've been looking through the articles you have created and am impressed by the large number of usually short but informative biographies of women, often in relation to restaurants or diplomacy. Your work has certainly helped to improve our statistics and now that you are a member of the project, I'm sure we can look forward to many, many more. If you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Essays, especially our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance.

Hello, BostonMensa, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Shushugah, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Osnat Lubrani, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Osnat Lubrani.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. 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.

An article you recently created, David Ladner, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. Right now it only has one, and that one is iffy (Inside Hook). The Long Island Restaurant News is a press release, and the other two are brief mentions of him.

An article you recently created, Jackson Hole Burgers, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).

Thanks. There is minimal coverage regarding the restaurant itself, rather mostly notable people who have visited it. Per WP:INHERITORG, businesses do not directly inherit notability from people who have visited them. Silikonz💬 19:37, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Butter Restaurant

Hello BostonMensa,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Butter Restaurant for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Jeff Nace

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jeff Nace requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

A tag has been placed on Martin “Ed” Ragain, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Fram (talk) 15:08, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

It looks as if you created the Ragain page by a copy-paste move, instead of simply moving the original page (with its history) to the correct title. In this case, nothing needs to be done as it was a terrible page to start with and didn't belong on enwiki anyway, but in the future please move the page instead of creating a new page by copying the text.

Proposed deletion of *Kandiss Taylor

The article *Kandiss Taylor has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

She's not notable per GNG or NPOL. Page should be created at Kandiss Taylor if she ever becomes notable

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:48, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
