Hi there,
I am an infrequent editor nowadays and have only just seen the additions you have made to Cannons (house) which is one of the very first articles that I ever wrote, way, way back in the dark ages. Think it may also have been my first ever WP:GA so I have a massive (and probably irrational) sentimental attachment to it. Really, really enjoyed reading the extra information you have added. Thank you!
Kind regards, nancy 08:56, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. Life took me to Stanmore a couple of years ago and I enjoyed looking into the history of the area. I find editing about an area a good way to connect with it and see it more deeply. I also improved Bentley Priory. Lumos3 (talk) 09:13, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
how do I create an article for a notable woman professor of community psychology?
[edit]Hi Lumos3 -- I have been thinking that there are fewer women in the Wikipedia than there should be. For example, Donata Francescato, the Italian expert on community psychology and gender roles. I have created a Wikipedia page for her, but don't know how to upload it or whether I have done it the right way. My time is a little tight so I was thinking of hiring someone to help me do it. Do you know how I should proceed? I have often edited the Wikipedia but never written an article. Thank you.
I am not even sure that I am communicating with you in the right way. I couldn't figure out how to send a message to you. Jmansbridge (talk) 20:58, 19 March 2017 (UTC) Jane Mansbridge (Harvard)
- Dear Jane, I'm glad to help. First if you look in the lefthand side bar when in my User page or Talk page you will see a link 'Email this user' . This allows you to send me a private email message if you prefer.
- Your subject Donata Francescato certainly seems to satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria since she is a well published author from major publishing houses as well as a noted academic. To launch your article simply put the name Donata Francescato into the wikipedia search box. It will return no articles but below it will ask if you want to start the article and provide you with a red link. Click on the red link and you will be taken straight into edit mode in the new article. Copy in your material , fill in the edit summary and click save. And there you have it.
- Additional tasks then are to add hyperlinks to other wikipedia articles, add categories, and add sources . Since your article is of a living person you will need to add the 'Living people' category. It will then be given extra scrutiny as living people have extra rights as to its factual accuracy and can litigate against wikipedia if they are false.
- You can also weave the article into the wikipedia fabric by linking to it at appropriate places in other articles.
- Graham Hale aka Lumos3 (talk) 09:12, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- PS Unlike other form of publishing a Creative Commons Wikipedia article is no longer you property. Other editors will be along to add changes and hopefully improve it. If you think they are wrong you can in turn improve on their changes or engage in civil dialogue on the articles talk page.Lumos3 (talk) 17:53, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
Reassessment?
[edit]Hi Lumos3,
I've recently overhauled the Box Moor Trust, building upon the good work you had already done. Whilst I'm familiar with Wikipedia, I'm completely oblivious to WikiProjects and other 'behind the scenes' parts of the site. I noticed that you're a member of Project Hertfordshire; could you advise the best way to 'apply' for the article to get re-rated? I would imagine that it is no longer a stub-class article!
Thanks
Mark
I periodically go through Category:Ancient Greek people stubs to find articles to work on, and Anicia which you created last year caught my eye. Do you still have access to the Index to Women of the World? Because apart from the fact that that is cited in the article, I can find no evidence of any mention of Anicia... well, anywhere, really. If you do, I would be very grateful if you could tell me whether the author gives any insight as to what her sources about Anicia are (or, alternatively, if you could scan the relevant pages and send them to me).
Thanks,
Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 09:08, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- Dear Caeciliusinhort, I created this as part of a project that was trying to creates articles for women on Wikipedia who were 'red linked' . This comes from the crater on Venus which was given the name by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) . All features on Venus are named after goddesses or women form antiquity. I suppose the IAU had a copy of Index to Women of the World when compiling their list of names. I took the IAU to be an authoritative source in its own right. I've never seen the book. I suggest you might get a copy through a library. Lumos3 (talk) 10:04, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- PS Theres an ecopy here. But there may be a hidden charge to access it as it wants a CC number but promises not to charge from it. Lumos3 (talk) 10:12, 28 July 2017 (UTC) http://listec.co.uk/index/to/index_to_women_of_the_world_from_ancient_to_modern_times.pdf
- Ah, no worries if you don't have access to the book; I'll track it down next time I'm at a decent library. Thanks anyway. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 11:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Butterfield Bank Logo.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Butterfield Bank Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Invitation to WikiProject Portals
[edit]The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.
You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.
There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.
Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.
It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.
The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.
A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.
We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.
Let's do this.
See ya at the WikiProject!
Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 10:22, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 19
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited We're a Couple of Swells, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York (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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
Thank you very much
[edit]The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.
By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.
Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.
If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 22:50, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Hue and Cry
[edit]Are you happy for me to ask for a technical move of Hue and Cry (pop artists) to Hue and Cry (band)? That's the standard title per WP:BANDDAB when no other group of the same name has an article. Certes (talk) 10:55, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thats fine . No need to ask , just do it. Lumos3 (talk) 21:09, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
- This set of edits has created confusion. I think a better way to have achieved the end result would have been to submit a move request in accordance with WP:RM to move "Hue and Cry" (the band) to "Hue and Cry (band)" and to move "Hue and Cry (disambiguation)" to "Hue and Cry". This would have given other editors the opportunity to comment on whether the band is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC or not. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:07, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

"discussion already re-directed"
[edit]Hi! I'm a newby. I went to suggest an edit to the page "sound level meter", only to find it has been nominated for deletion in March 2018. However, it says the discussion has already been re-directed". What does that mean? Why doesn't it say where it has been re-directed, so that we may participate? As an expert in this field, I found this page useful, and have not found any other page to describe these devices. Thanks! Ad000000 (talk) 21:19, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- The article "sound level meter" is C class and so unlikely to be deleted. I think the box posted on the talk page was put there in error and the article for deletion was in fact LAFmax which was discussed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2018_March_16#LAFmax . The result was to redirect LAFmax to sound level meter. Hope this helps. If you see errors in the article or want to improve it then just go ahead.

question
[edit]Hi Graham, thanks for your note. I have a question that doesn't quite seem to be covered by all the guidelines, etc. you sent. Essentially, the English and Italian entries for Giuseppe Garibaldi, one of the most celebrated figures of the 19th century, worldwide, have been manipulated by a whole pressure group who now oppose Italian unity and seek to undermine the narrative behind it. Many of the facts quoted are simply wrong. Many facts are missing. The piece needs an expert to return it to neutrality. Given the importance of the figure, this should be a proper historian. I know a lot about the man, since he has always been an area of special interest to me, but I'm not up to doing this. I just wanted to point the problem out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timparks (talk • contribs) 18:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Many thanks for all this explanation. I appreciate your time. I suppose the problem is one does these things rarely and it's hard to recall the procedure from one time to the next. I'll try to get used to it. I'd like to edit the Wiki Garibaldi page, both in Italian and in English, when I have the energy. I came to it because I'm working on a book that centres on him. The pieces have clearly been produced or edited by someone with an agenda and need to be returned to something more neutral. You're probably right about the couple, the children, the divorce. I'll take a look at it later. All best, Tim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timparks (talk • contribs) 08:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Tommy Trinder
[edit]Hi Lumos3, I understand you created the article for Tommy Trinder, way back in 2005. Thank you for making it, because I've expanded it using that framework. It's not perfect - I was unable to find a source for the claim added by an anonymous IP in 2007 that Trinder orginated a bar bet involving a ten shilling note known as "Trinder's Impossibility" and I couldn't find much about his family life. I've tried my best to do justice to a comic who was, at one time, top-tier famous in Britain. Humbledaisy (talk) 18:48, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- My interest in Trinder stems from me living near his birth place in Streatham which has a blue plaque . I started the article because something is better then nothing . I am glad it has grown and have not heard of his ten shilling bar bet which sounds intriguing. Sorry I cant help. Lumos3 (talk) 19:09, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Horn (anatomy) into List of animals with horns and tusks. 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. DanCherek (talk) 13:53, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of International Consciousness Research Laboratories
[edit]
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 International Consciousness Research Laboratories 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 company, corporation or organization 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. P 1 9 9 ✉ 20:46, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JSM Group until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 06:13, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
