Hi, I just saw that you removed the question that you had asked on the helpdesk page. I guess you figured out the answer. Please dont hesitate to ask any doubts in the future... Thanks for contributing here -- Lost 02:06, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your question has been answered here. Thanks for joining Wikipedia and I hope you will like this place! Fredil Yupigo01:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sue. This is Rory Litwin. I've been noticing some of your contributions lately. I also saw your message to ARLIS-L today. I think you're doing good work. Rlitwin 00:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Then I can't help thinking he should have an article. That way we all learn from the encyclopedia. Perhaps you'd like to get together the basic information to start it....Pliny 19:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. I planned to add something, but I have a huge list of people I want to work on and hadn't got to it yet. --Sue Maberry 22:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message regarding the Artists' Books page and also many thanks for your edits to the page. I have been occasionally checking the entry for a while now, meaning to add to it and your user page statement in part inspired me to actually register as a wikipedian! -Emily Artinian 07:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, if you're a librarian at a school Ader attended, perhaps you can track down some info in the bit about David Horvitz taking photos and film of "Ocean Wave" in Spain--that's what I was looking for when I ran across the new books on Ader. It seems credible, based on what little I can find about Horvitz, but I don't really have the resources to be able to say more than that. My main interest in Ader comes from the fact that I own a Guppy 13 sailboat--there were only about 300 built in 1974-5, so it's by no means a common boat. If the photos allegedly taken by Horvitz do exist, I would be very interested in seeing them, if they've been published. scot 14:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sue, Honestly I'd never met Her, but I did read of her passing and thought she needed an article. Actually, to be perfectly honest, I'm not really artistic..at least not the way she was. Not too long ago I took an art history class for fun -- really more like a history of graphic design as it turned out. I guess I've become more interested in art because of the class...

I'm glad you appreciate the article... Unfortunately, lately I've been really busy and hardly contribute. This weekend is actually my wedding, so there's the busy-ness ;-)

Good luck with your daughters (read on your page). I have a four month old myself. Lots of work, but we love it :)

The article on Bas Jan Ader has received a lot of new content recently, much of which is uncited. I figured you're probably in a good position to be able to at least refute any blantantly false statements, and perhaps point to some good references. scot 17:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Lili Lakich, by Addd wiki (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Lili Lakich seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Lili Lakich, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some work finding sources for Lili Lakich and hopefully it should no longer be a target for deletion. Good luck with the article! Skomorokh ^incite 12:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Offerings.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Hi there. I appreciate you uploading the above image and re-tagging it for license. I've just moved it to Wikimedia Commons as Image:Offeringsatthecrossroads.jpg, so it will be available for all projects. Thanks again :) - Alison ☺ 22:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sue, you left a question for me regarding this mediawiki theme. Your programmer should know that font styles are kept in the CSS files, in this case "main.css". To find the section that you want to modify, install the Web Developer extension for Firefox, then find the name for the element by choosing Outline -> Outline Current Element. Good luck to you.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Samuel Hoi, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.usc.edu/libraries/partners/laih/fellows/SamuelHoi.php.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Thank you for uploading Image:Otiscollege.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 14:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Much, much better! I've removed the notability and verify tags. We could use a reference to verify the "Teaching" section information, and that should do it. Good job. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 20:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Maberry! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 7 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Khoi Vinh - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Annetta Kapon - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. Jerri Allyn - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:03, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Meg Linton has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello, Feminism Task Force Member! Please accept this invitation to join a discussion on creating a full-fledged WikiProject Feminism. If you support this idea, please register your support here. All feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. Also, please note that we do not add religious categories unless religion is relevant to at least one of the subject's notable activities and an essential part of that activity. See Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality for details. Yworo (talk) 06:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Joyce Kozloff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for starting to clean up this article! It seems like a rather herculean task. It would be nice if most of the timeline could be converted into prose (or perhaps spun-off into a separate timeline article). What are your thoughts on it? Kaldari (talk) 18:47, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sue,

You had posted a "who are you" query earlier this month on my user page and I finally saw it today. I wrote a brief profile on my page but wanted to introduce myself here, too. My name is Shannon Lieberman and I'm a graduate student in art history. I've been contributing to Wikipedia a lot lately since I'm preparing for my major examination and when I need a break from reading but still want to use my time well, I try to contribute anything I can to art history pages, and specifically to pages related to feminist art. I don't know that you will remember this, but we were introduced very briefly on the second day of the Still Doin' It Symposium at Otis (right before the artist presentations started--I was sitting with Sorma, and I think also with your daughters, whom I had just sat down next to by chance). I just wanted to say hello and to thank you for all the excellent work you've done on Wikipedia (as well as, of course, at Otis). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthistorygrrl (talk • contribs) 23:09, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Maberry. I have removed your addition of external links to the Woman's Building article body for the 5th time. I stated in my edit history why and tried to avoid bringing it up on your talk page, but, perhaps that is one reason why they keep being readded - my failure to inform you of external link's and their placement on Wikipedia. External links should not normally be placed in the body of the article like you keep doing. Please take a look at this page: Wikipedia:ELPOINTS#Important_points_to_remember to learn more about the use of external links in Wikipedia. I appreciate your good faith edits, and I do hope that you understand why I keep reverting them. I do hope you understand this request after taking a look at the link above, as I'd hate to have an edit war erupt from this simple issue. Thank you!

A tag has been placed on May Sun 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Uberaccount (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article May Sun is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/May Sun until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uberaccount (talk • contribs) 01:01, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Millard Sheets, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Getty (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Actually, I agree about the worthiness of Joyce Kozloff's article, it's just that in it's current state it fails Wikipedia guidelines. I saw that you've worked on other notable women from the Feminist art movement in the United States and I would be happy to work with you.

I've noticed that if I start a major re-write of a living person there is often a back-lash for the re-write. I wouldn't mind doing the re-write on my own... but right now I'm working on Mary Beth Edelson, rewrite-expansion of Feminist art movement in the United States and Template:Feminist art movement in the United States.

If you'd like to help, my proposition is to:

• remove all the text that is a copy-paste from her website
• add content from reliable secondary sources.

It would also be huge if we could get photographs/images of the artwork from women from this time period. I am dismayed and astounded that there is nothing on commons that I could find, except for the one I posted on Feminist art movement in the United States.

Is working on [Joyce Kozloff]]'s article of interest?--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:32, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear fellow Wikipedian, You have been invited to a meetup and edit-a-thon at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, March 9, 2014 from 11 am to 6 pm! This event is in collaboration with MOCA and the arts collective East of Borneo and aims to improve coverage of LA art since the 1980s. (Even if contemporary art isn't your thing, you're welcome to join too!) Please RSVP here if you're interested. I hope to see you there! User:Calliopejen1 (talk) To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list.

Since you RSVPed before this info was on the event page, I just wanted to give you a heads up that PBS NewsHour will likely be at the event filming. (I assume you can make arrangements if you don't want to be on camera -- just FYI.) See you Sunday! Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:01, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your RSVP! We look forward to seeing you today at MOCA. A few notes on today:
*We'll be working outside on the Grand Ave. sculpture plaza (upstairs from box office).
*There are street closures today for the L.A. Marathon. The streets near the museum should be open during the hours of the edit-a-thon, but you may want to check your route.

Stop by anytime 11am-6pm with your laptop computer + power adapter, and any reference materials you'd like to work from or share; we've also prepared reference files on about 40 artists, curators, and organizations that you can work from, if you don't already have an article in mind. I will be leading orientations every hour on the hour, so new users might prefer to arrive then. For those of you who are experienced Wikipedia editors and have indicated you are able to help, please introduce yourself as an editor when you check-in. We'll be distributing badges so that new users can identify you and ask for help as needed. Thanks & see you soon! StaceyEOB (talk) 15:18, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redondo Loves Wikipedia (2/14), Wik-Ed Women (2/17), and Unforgetting LA at the Getty (2/21)!

Dear fellow Wikipedian, The LA Wikipedia community has three events in mid-February -- please consider attending! First, we have a Valentine's Day edit-a-thon appropriately named Redondo Loves Wikipedia, which will take place at the Redondo Beach Public Library from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, February 14. Join library staff, the Redondo Beach Historical Society, and others to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of Redondo Beach! Second, we have a Wik-Ed Women editing session on Tuesday, February 17 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown. This series of informal get-togethers is designed to encourage Los Angeles women-in-the-arts (though all are welcome!) to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia, specifically expanding content about women artists. Third, we have an Unforgetting LA event put on by East of Borneo in collaboration with the Getty Research Institute. Come help improve Wikipedia's coverage of LA design and architecture, and have an awesome free day at the museum -- parking will be validated for edit-a-thon participants! If you'd like to use particular books from GRI's great collection, be sure to email before 2/13 (instructions at event page). And be sure to check out our main meetup page, because we already have three SoCal events scheduled for early March! I hope to see you there!

Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a discussion at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.

Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy,[1] I am looking for women editors who might like to join.

Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather (talk) 22:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wadewitz memorial edit-a-thon (3/18), Redondo Loves Wikipedia (3/28)

Please drop by to contribute your own work or teach other users how to write for Wikipedia. Second, there will be an event at the Redondo Beach Public Library (following up on last month's session), in collaboration with the Redondo Beach Historical Society. Please join us from 10am to noon on Saturday, March 28 at the main branch of the Redondo Beach Public Library! I hope to see you there!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi Maberry. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks, --Kenzia (talk) 10:48, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Charles Sherman. Thanks! Mduvekot (talk) 13:54, 19 July 2016 (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 SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

What would've made me accept this was if his works were permanently collected by major museums, but nothing of this is listed, thus I'm not confident about accepting this, because I believe it would still be too thinly questionable.

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:Charles Sherman and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

SwisterTwister talk 22:17, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Sherman (artist), which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as C-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.

• If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
• If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Why are you removing an established source like Anne Ross to substitute a brand new book that others who are working on the article have not likely read? Do you have any connection to this book? I see in your sandbox you are working on an article about the author. If you have a connection please read WP:COI and use accurate edit summaries. If the book sources content in the article, or adds something new and well-substantiated, incorporate it as an inline source. Otherwise it give the impression of possible linkspam. If you want to add this, do not edit war, please discuss it on the talk page of the Sheela na Gig article. Thanks. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 22:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I made a mistake removing the one because of formatting issues. However, there is no reason to remove the Goode book. It is filled with a huge number of high quality photos of sheelas worldwide, is new, and deserves to be included.--Sue Maberry (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Susan E. King is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susan E. King until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:22, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We noticed though that when you edited Otis College of Art and Design, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles White (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

The article George Maitland Stanley has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable person who appears in only one source, and even then only mentioned in one paragraph

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.

• Fine to delete. I only added it because I didn't know how to create an Disambuguation Page. He has an article called George Stanley (sculptor). I just didn't find it when I searched because there is another George Stanley. How can I make a Disambuguation Page?

Donna Axton, wife of Hoyt Axton and mother of William is a notable person, active in her community, and the face as rhythm lead as a pianist for some 20 of Hoyt's albums. She also teaches at SIerra Nevada College. I would like to build a page for her. I see that you are part Women Artists Wikiproject. I feel like her strange non-visibility in connection with Hoyt is a good example of the way women artists have a difficult time being listed in Wikipedia.

LA to FA 2022

Dear Maberry, You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:19, 10 January 2022 (UTC) To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list.[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Annetta Kapon is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annetta Kapon 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.
