Hi there, Medievalfran, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created three biographies. As a relatively recent editor, you might be interested in our Ten Simple Rules. If ever you run into any difficulties or need assistance, please let me know. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 16:31, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lola Olufemi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Internationalist. 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.)

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hoary (talk) 05:08, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Hoary was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for academics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

He sounds like a worthy academic, but this doesn't make him notable in Wikipedia terms. An article about Hemsoll will need to summarize other scholars' descriptions of and comments on Hemsoll's work. I note from this draft that just last year Yale UP published his book Emulating antiquity: Renaissance buildings from Brunelleschi to Michelangelo. Its scope is ambitious and in my experience Yale UP is a first-rate publisher (something I can't say about all well known university presses). So I imagine that reviews are coming out. What do these reviews say?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:David Hemsoll and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:David Hemsoll, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the , on the or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Medievalfran! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Hoary (talk) 13:21, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited International Society for the Study of Medievalism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Antiquity.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Avril Coleridge-Taylor you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Tim riley -- Tim riley (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article Avril Coleridge-Taylor you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Avril Coleridge-Taylor for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Tim riley -- Tim riley (talk) 17:40, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article Avril Coleridge-Taylor you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Avril Coleridge-Taylor for reasons why the nomination failed.

Hello Medievalfran:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
