Survey about History on Wikipedia (If you reside in the United States)
I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia.

If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Petros Apostolopoulos, paposto@ncsu.edu Apolo1991 (talk) 16:46, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Female Glass Artists Content Creator
 |
Trailblazing! |
| Hello - My name is Jess Holland and I work at Popelka Trenchard Glass and SOMI Studio, both co-owned by Stephanie Trenchard, an internationally recognised glass artist, in Door County, WI. She was recently nominated for an award in WI and was asked about her Wikipedia page. She does not have one so I am looking into creating an article on her. I saw that you created Beth Lipman's Wikipedia page as well as others for female glass artists. Since this is my first day with a user account here, I do not know anything about editing or creating an article, although I know I'll have to make some edits before writing an article. Would you be open to collaborating with me to create an article on Stephanie? Her work is often centered on female artists, which looks like an inspiration for you as well. If you're interested in learning more about Stephanie, I'm happy to send some information to you, but I don't want to be too presumptive and include them here. Thanks for your consideration. And for the contributions you've already made! Quite impressive. -Jess StephanieTrenchard (talk) 21:20, 10 January 2022 (UTC) |
- Hi, Jess (StephanieTrenchard), welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad to hear you are interested in improving coverage of women glass artists. Help:Introduction is a great place to get started and learn more about how Wikipedia works. One of the most important things to know, especially in your case, is Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Essentially, because you work for Stephanie Trenchard, you should avoid creating or editing articles about her or the studios you are employed at, even if you'd be doing so with good intentions.
- That being said, you can request that someone without a conflict of interest (COI) create an article about Trenchard. If and when an article exists, you can also propose changes on the article's talk page, making your COI clear and asking others to edit the article. You can see an example of this on Talk:Corning Museum of Glass, "Suggested update to Growth and Renovations section." At the time, I was an employee of the museum and was able to successfully request a change to the article. I might also suggest adding a COI statement to your user page, like I have done here.
- Trenchard is certainly notable enough to merit an article and I'd be interested in creating one about her. If you let me know the name of the award and/or link to an article about her nomination, I can look into including it on the page. In the meantime, let me know if you have any other questions about how Wikipedia works! extabulis (talk) 20:48, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
