It really made my day.. it is a huge learning curve and that is part of the fun.. plus running into some great folks and long time editors!Flibbertigibbets (talk)

Cheers, Flibbertigibbets, and there is a huge learning curve as well as great people here. My unsolicited advice is to keep asking questions, use edit summaries, and consider enabling navigation popups in your preferences. And once you meet the criteria, apply for access to the Wikipedia Library, which can be an excellent resource for developing gems in the rough :) Beccaynr (talk) 02:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Could you please help me with yhis draft? FloridaArmy (talk) 23:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

I'll be happy to, FloridaArmy, although it may be a little bit before I get a chance to focus on it. Cheers, Beccaynr (talk) 01:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Categorization of people killed the Mahsa Amini protests

I removed those pages from Category:Mahsa Amini protests because they're already in the subcategory for the victims. The parent category is getting overpopulated as it is so I think it's articles should be separated per WP:DIFFUSE. Charles Essie (talk) 05:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Charles Essie, the subjects have articles because they have become symbols of the ongoing protests, and received wide coverage as more than victims or people killed. The nature of the coverage is why it does not appear redundant to include them in the protest category. When reviewing the guidance from WP:DIFFUSE and thinking about the sources generally, it seems to be a non-diffusing category. I am not particularly familiar with the inner workings of the categories system, but I am familiar with the content of these articles, and it seems helpful for readers and appropriate based on the content to keep these articles in the larger category. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 05:51, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Fair enough. Charles Essie (talk) 06:10, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

someone put a Cn tag on when she got her MSW. Since I was the one that added the info, I found the source easily only for you to remove it. The information is there, in the first paragraph. Stop removing the citation. Amd stop claiming it is unverified. It IS there. BostonMensa (talk) 06:29, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi BostonMensa, I removed the citation because the source does not appear to be reliable, due to its inaccurate information and speculation about Sela. It is not a news source with editorial policies, and there is no indication about where the information was obtained. The source is in the article for the information it can reliably confirm, which is the She's Gone exhibit. However, it does not appear usable for other information about Sela, and I have not found a reliable source to indicate when she graduated from school, so I removed the unsourced content from the article. Please do not continue edit warring the unreliable source into the article. I think we can find a better solution if there is a better source available. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 06:44, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

When you stop removing the source, I will stop reinstating it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BostonMensa (talkcontribs) 06:29, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! I'd made a quick attempt to save it from A7, but your edits put it far out of reach. Star Mississippi 14:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Cheers, Star Mississippi - the article was brought to my attention by a comment added to an AfD you recently closed [1], and there is a little more (available via Google Scholar) that could potentially be added to a History section, but I would first like to write a BLP of the author [2], [3] of the study. Cheers again, Beccaynr (talk) 15:19, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Oh thanks, that's fascinating. I had created the stub during Pride 2021 in an effort to further catalog the Lesbian Bar Project organizations but info was thin. I don't see the overlap that the commentor did in terms of nominator/PROD, but perhaps I'm missing a name change on that. Have a great day. Star Mississippi 15:57, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
