User talk:Jesswade88

Hi Jess. It seemed sensible to move our conversation over at User_talk:Elenabesley#Help_me! to your talk page. Yes, I like your addition of a note on your user page. That, of course, presupposes that the rather surprised subject of your articles actually know: a) how to find out who it was who created the page about them; b) then how to post a message for you, and also c) that it's a really bad idea to try to edit stuff about themselves.

So, I was trying to suggest that it might not be a bad idea if you were to consider adding a fairly anodyne talk page post on the articles you create. I suspect they might stand more of a chance of seeing something there than wading (no pun intended) through View History to get in touch with you, the page creator. So, assuming you don't make direct contact - academic to academic - how does this sound for an article talk page note?:

About this new article

This article was created by Jess Wade as part of an effort to increase the representation of my fellow women scientists on Wikipedia. I try to create one article about a notable scientist every day, using good, published sources.

If you happen to be the subject of this article and have concerns about its content, please reach out to me on my talk page or by clicking my signature below.

It is best if the subject of an article does not try to edit it themselves, especially if they are totally new to editing Wikipedia. This could be seen as a Conflict of Interest (q.v.), but there are lots of other editors willing to assist newcomers to Wikipedia, including myself if I happen to have got anything wrong. Alternatively, we have a friendly help forum for new editors called The Teahouse where you can easily get help and guidance. Signed

You might think I'm making a fuss over nothing, and maybe other subjects don't have the challenges that Elena and I did late last night. But if this does' happen from time to time, perhaps this approach might help everyone a little bit? (I should add that I'm also a Teahouse host, where we do see lots of confused new editors, often trying to write about themselves, though rarely anyone wondering why there was suddenly a Wikipedia article about them, and being totally lost trying to sort things out. Kind regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 23:22, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

(dropping in), that sounds like a good suggestion from Nick - I had a brief involvement, before Nick provided a more useful set of advice. I suspect this might be one of the cases where it's not needed 19/20 cases, but will save some problems over time. I actually do see a reasonable number of cases of people (through OTRS) being surprised and confused about being the subject of a Wikipedia article (though time taken to realise has varied wildly), and knowing who to ask about corrections is the single biggest concern. As always, thanks for your articles. Nosebagbear (talk) 23:40, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

To clarify, that's not other subjects of your articles Nosebagbear (talk)

On 22 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Noni MacDonald, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that pediatrician Noni MacDonald was invested into the Order of Nova Scotia in 2019? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Noni MacDonald. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Noni MacDonald), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I found two, and am going with the one in color, but I can see an argument for the other (business suit rather than sundress; isn't posed to center on birthmark), so if you prefer it, I will not object. --GRuban (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Following on from my suggestion above, this is just a courtesy note to let you know I've written a few words about you at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2020-01-27/Community view Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 09:48, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Jess, have you ever thought about a run at RfA? After Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ergo Sum, there seems to be an emerging consensus amongst the community that we should be able to trust experienced and civil content writers with the admin toolset if they want it. In your instance, I would perceive a nomination and potential use of the tools to be similar to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Megalibrarygirl, and in my view there is enough good will in the community (eg: User talk:Ritchie333/Archive 94#Thank you!) to see this through. For example, you could do something like this restoration as an admin. What do you think? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) I'd probably support such an RfA, but given Jess's chosen area of content work, and some of the deletion discussions that have ensued, I think it's worth keeping in mind that she is likely to be grilled about notability. If she runs in the immediate future, she needs to be prepared for this. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:39, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I've just been reading the interview with you in New Scientist, and I agree with you when you say:

Wikipedia really is a global project, and we’re all working together on this free knowledge. Why then, when some other editor reads a page that they think could do with an extra citation, do they not look for one themselves? I think there are some weird power dynamics going on, with a few individual editors at the top of Wikipedia’s hierarchy who think that they can control what information is valued by the site.

I am arguing something similar now at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Are policies being used to the detriment of Wikipedia?. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 09:38, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Please stop posting material to Wikipedia about real people that either doesn't have an inline citation, or cannot be found in the inline citation provided. I have found at least one instance of such in the last three Wikipedia pages you have published, Hickey, Brennecke and Lopez, and others recently too, and I have only been spot checking, these were not comprehensive reviews. Regarding your statements in the media on the matter, while you're entitled to your personal views of what people should be doing with their lives, please note that nobody is expected, much less required, to correct these problems in your editing, and indeed Wikipedia policy expects people who discover them to remove the offending text immediately, for the good of everyone involved, including you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex Dunbarton (talk • contribs) 16:54, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I guess you're the person whose created a Twitter account similar to your new Wikipedia account to criticise my contributions? If you find anything incorrect in the pages of Hickey, Brennecke or López, please add the [citation required] tag or correct it yourself. All three pages include more citations than the majority Wikipedia articles. It is - of course - difficult to compare these with your own creations, as you seem to have made this account to write comments on my talk page and comment on Clarice Phelps' biography, but I look forward to seeing your input to the encyclopaedia too. Jesswade88 (talk) 19:46, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I will repeat, when someone is publishing information about real people on Wikipedia that either lacks a source or is not given in the source provided, nobody is expected or required to tag it or fix it. The only course of action policy dictates, is immediate removal. Whether or not other articles are worse than what you're producing, is entirely irrelevant. Please confirm that you understand that what I am telling you comes directly from Wikipedia policy, one of the most serious policies they have, written solely to protect everyone involved from harm, otherwise I think I will have no choice but to ask that you be immediately blocked until you do so. Alex Dunbarton (talk) 22:46, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your recent publication of a Wikipedia biography for the COO of the Wikimedia Foundation, please note that conflict of interest goes beyond whether you have met or even know the person. It is about whether a reasonable person could conclude there is enough of a connection or relationship (positive or negative) between yourself and the Foundation to mean you would be unable to write a natural account of one of their employees' lives (and it is immaterial whether you think you can). Consider the opposite case - imagine if Katherine Maher had written your Wikipedia biography - would third parties be confident that it would include any negative information that might have been published about you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex Dunbarton (talk • contribs) 17:02, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I've met Maher once, the same day I met Uzzell. I have no 'relationship' with either of them, other than I respect them for doing their jobs. I included all biographical information available for Uzzell. The same is true for every scientist/ engineer I write about. But by all means, if you don't feel there's enough 'negative information' included in any of the bios I write, feel free to add it. I realise you've only just started this account to monitor the pages I write, but you can contribute to Wikipedia in more ways than that. Jesswade88 (talk) 19:40, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm trying to remind you what conflict of interest is about. It is not just about having met people, it concerns all forms of non-trivial interaction, such as press releases that praise your contribution to Wikipedia, the website they own and exist to promote. But even on that score it is worth noting you haven't simply met them, you were invited to speak before them, which again speaks to the nature of the relationship. Nobody is expected to correct any problems that your conflict of interest may have caused, and it is immaterial if you think you otherwise did a good job. All that matters is the perception of you being the person to write about a Foundation employee, what that says about the likelihood of the relationship influencing the content in ways no reader could ever hope to know without doing the work to write it themselves. And it has already influenced the content in the worst way possible, since by your own admission this biography might never have been written had you not been invited to speak before the very person it is about. You can be 100% sure you have done nothing wrong, and still have done something wrong. That is what conflict of interest is all about. Alex Dunbarton (talk) 22:24, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

• Unfortunately, all of us Wikipedia volunteers can't avoid having some conflict of interest with articles about members of the Wikipedia foundation by definition! So unless Jess Wade is secretly Maher's sister in law, or otherwise unusually strongly connected, I think it's fine, per Wikipedia:Ignore all rules. --GRuban (talk) 19:54, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

• While I like Wikipedia:Ignore all rules, I don't think this has anything to do with it. All of us who write biographies come into contact with people -either online or in person- whom, after we research them further, we decide to create their biography. Sometimes the subject is a living person and sometimes they are long dead. In this particular case, it appears that Jesswade88 met Uzzell in real life, researched her, found enough WP:RS to sort out that Uzzell meets WP:N, and created the article. All in a day's work, and no rules were broken. BTW, I'm not Jesswade88's secret sister in law, nor Uzzell's or Maher's. --Rosiestep (talk) 21:42, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
• Agree with Rosiestep. WP:IAR, with which (let it be said that) I feel far from comforrtable, has nothing to do with the objection that was raised about a potential conflict of interest. If COI exists, we cannot simply bypass it through invoking WP:IAR. Now, as far as the substance of the COI allegation is concerned, the Wikipedia entry for Janeen Uzzell, as it stands, shows no sign of favoritism. Let it be said that biographies of members of the Foundation are not off limits for Wikipedia editors; otherwise, there would be no articles at all about any of them. -The Gnome (talk) 09:32, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

• The relationship Wade has with the Foundation goes far beyond what any ordinary Wilipedia editor has likely experienced, and simply having met someone does not create a conflict of interest. Although rather obviously if biographies here are being written because an editor meets someone and is personally impressed by them, you would be concerned about potential bias, but that would still not be because a conflict of interest existed, it would just be poor decision making in general. Alex Dunbarton (talk) 22:36, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Alex Dunbarton was indefinitely blocked by Joe Roe, since apparently every single one of his edits was an attack on Jess Wade. (Which is generally not advised.) --GRuban (talk) 18:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jesswade88,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

• There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
• A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
• A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
• A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Hi Jesswade88. I noticed that you recently used EarnTheNecklace.com as a source for biographical information in Paula Reid. While there hasn't been as much discussion as I would like about the source, the general consensus as expressed at WP:RSN is that it does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles.

Hi, I noticed you're the original author of the article Rachel Thomas (academic). I just finished writing a page for fast.ai and it's already up for deletion :( Am I wrong to think that fast.ai by itself could have its own page? Or do you think the tone is just wrong? I didn't mean to make it "promotional" because I'm not in any way involved in fast.ai... Is there any chance you could help me out rewriting the article so it's more suitable? I would be kind of gutted that my first article here would be immediately deleted. Thanks! Paritalo (talk) 17:57, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Maybe you were upset in the aftermath of AfD/Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, but was it really necessary to slander characterize Wikipedia as being "rife with sexism and racism"? Especially since those two or more individuals with newly created accounts that came from whatever underbellies of the internet to start the AfD can hardly be considered as representative of the Wikipedia community. --bender235 (talk) 17:42, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

It might not be how the core community sees itself. However with Wikipedia being an inherently open platform in which anyone can participate, anyone can be part of the community. They have at least been blocked. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:42, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

In that case, if anything, it would have been called for the point out how Wikipedia's principles and collective decision-making prevailed over attempted hostile takeover by actors driven by whatever -ism you want to ascribe their motives to. Rather than decrying a suspected racist and sexist cabal that holds sway over Wikipedia. --bender235 (talk) 19:22, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

It isn't up to you or me to decide how someone reacts to sexism and racism. As for cabals, I think that interpretation of the tweet is a reach, to say the least. Richard Nevell (talk) 20:00, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Well, pardon me, but as someone who has been part of this project for over 15 years I take offense if the Wikipedia community as a whole (not some individuals, but everyone) is described as "rife with sexism and racism". Wikipedia is an open and continuous project, and if there are people, regions, or topics that are not sufficiently covered, everybody is invited to fill that gap.

An invitation to fill the gap is no invitation at all if we do not cultivate a healthy community. That includes confronting discrimination. Richard Nevell (talk) 20:18, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Again, where is this supposed discrimination? In the AfD above that triggered the Twitter rant to which I am responding, the sexism and/or racism came from outside the Wikipedia community. And in the end, for the most part, our established process of discussion and deliberation worked. So why slander the very project and community that ultimately upheld its principles? I found it uncalled for. --bender235 (talk) 20:28, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I actually wasn't to begin with. I was just monitoring Twitter because of the recent increase in WP:VOTESTACKING, and happened to come across your tweet. Normally I wouldn't care about statements like this, but it was disheartening to see such an (at least IMHO) unjustified generalization from someone who I've noticed as a long-time contributor of high-quality articles. --bender235 (talk) 17:52, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

As the Wikipedian who created the article for LaShyra Nolen, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this ongoing discussion. Thank you. --bender235 (talk) 01:36, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jesswade88,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

• A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
• Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
• A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
• Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

So my quixotic quest to illustrate your articles continues. Normally I just look for already free images, but in this case, the subject seemed particularly Internet savvy, with both active YouTube and Flickr accounts, so when I couldn't find an already released image I decided to write him and ask for one. And after a bit of time (seems that he's a bit busy just now as a medical person, have no idea why that would be) he agreed! https://www.medlifecrisis.co.uk/post/check-it-out-i-m-on-wikipedia-and-i-didn-t-even-make-the-page-myself Thought you would be interested, and hopefully pleased. --GRuban (talk) 13:11, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Dear Jesswade88

I accept that I might be wrong in tagging the article about Sarafina Nance for deletion, but I believe the matter should have been solved with a discussion on the talk page, and not by simple edit with removal and Ad Homimen attacks with false claims. This is not very polite and there is no reason for that. Guilherme Moura Paredes (talk) 20:39, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Guilherme Moura Paredes, Yes, you were wrong. There are criteria for Academic notability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)). Nance easily passes the GNG criteria. It's not very polite to tag pages in the way that you did, you could easily have started a section on the Talk page. Jesswade88 (talk) 12:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't fully see things the same way as you do. It is part of wikipedia's core values to be bold, even if mistakes are made, with no offense being caused or bad manners intendend by such mistakes. It is also asked that experienced editors, such as yourself, be civil and polite to less experienced ones, guiding them as they improve, and that users be cordial to each other, another one of wikipedia's core values, which I am sure you know and cherish. Please take that into consideration and be kinder in the future, as I am sure you would like to have the same courtesy extented to you. Guilherme Moura Paredes (talk) 19:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

You've been editing longer than me – you're more 'experienced'. It's a bit strange to me that nominating Nance for deletion is almost your only contribution to Wikipedia this year. I'm not sure we're on the same page RE: core values.Jesswade88 (talk) 20:33, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sarafina Nance 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/Sarafina Nance 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. Take Note List (talk) 17:27, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jess, I am Hollie, Jennifer Kurinczuk's daughter. Thank you so much for making her a wiki page! (I had been planning on making her one for ages and had never gotten round to doing it, so I was so happy to see it when I looked her up recently!) She and I were wondering what the source of your original private life was i.e. the information about her being married to Paul Burton and having boy girl twins, if you can remember - I appreciate it was a while ago!! Neither of us can think where this information was published online. It is true that she does have boy girl twins, but she and my dad are no longer married (so I have changed the wording on this to reflect that) I am still unable to find an appropriate source online to back this up other than from her daughter Hollie Burton's mouth haha. It's just interesting that it was possible for someone to find out this information without her being aware of it online.

Anyway,

Thanks again! Hollie Ozzieburton (talk) 00:58, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ozzieburton! I found the reference to the twins here: https://www.diversityprojects.ox.ac.uk/wis/meet/8, and the husband (so sorry!) here: https://www.mja.com.au/journal/1998/169/11/tvw-telethon-institute-child-health-research. I hope that you are well! Let me know if you come across any other legendary women scientists who need Wiki pages. Jesswade88 (talk) 11:06, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jesswage88, Ah! thank you so much for sharing this with me. Absolutely no worries re the marriage issue haha! we both just thought it was funny. Suggestions for future wiki pages: My PhD Supervisor Fiona Alderdice is a really amazing woman scientist and is a professor in the same dept as my mum, she is also the editor in chief of the journal of reproductive and infant psychology. I also think Fiona Challacombe would be a good shout, she is basically the UK queen of maternal Obsessive compulsive disorder (what my research is in, so I may be a little bit biased haha) They are both two very influential women in their fields. Hollie Ozzieburton (talk) 13:51, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jess, I haven't checked their notability for Wikipedia, but have found Fiona Alderdice on Wikidata Q43728723, including ORCID ID which gives heaps of pubs. Fiona Challacombe is also on Wikidata Q58458315 with some employment details and, again, ORCID ID with more. Oronsay (talk) 20:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent articles, including Elwira Lisowska, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section.

I notice you used the image page https://www.dvidshub.net/image/2984578/montford-point-marine-receives-congressional-gold-medal as a source in Ernest J. Harris, but didn't add the actual image itself. You could, you know; it's clearly marked PUBLIC DOMAIN on that page. An image taken by an employee of the US Federal government in the course of their duties is public domain, even if it isn't marked like this one is. I mean - I do generally try to follow up and add images to your articles, and I did in this case, but just in case I don't. Adding an image isn't a requirement or anything, and your work is still very valuable even without them, thank you, but many people do think having an image noticeably improves an article. Sometimes looking for a free licensed image is hard, but in some cases like this it's pretty straight forward. --GRuban (talk) 12:11, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

• @GRuban: Just noting in case you're unaware, but if you have registered a free DVIDS account, you can batch download entire galleries. (Though it would be nice if we had a DVIDS2Commons script given that it's one of the largest repositories of public domain images on the internet.) GMG^talk 13:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Woo! That is wonderful. Not only did I not know that, I didn't even realize there was a gallery of images for this subject.

Hello jess, thank you for starting the wikipedia article on Marion Koopmans, who has a great impact as virologist, as epidemiologist (she seems not to use this name, but much of her work in the last decades is infectious disease epidemiology) and perhaps even more as a science manager. She was missing, of course. I did some minor edits in the article, and i gave some comments on its talk page (this is work in progress). Could You please have a look on my edits and talk contribs? One more question concerning the article: A sentence in the article says "... the Versatile Emerging infectious disease Observatory (VEO), that will study how changes in environmental and travel will impact the risk of infectious diseases". I am not sure about grammar in English language, but the word "environmental" rised/caught my attention/suspicion. I thought it is an adjective and i expected a noun following it. Perhaps i am wrong about this, i don't know. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 14:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jesswade88, two women for whom i did not find an Wikipedia article:

(1) (former?) Ambassador Sabine Nölke from Canada. A source Google does not know is A Letter to (the coalition for the) international criminal court, where she is named as cc-receiver. I am not sure whether i understand correctly, but she seems to be in a highly responsible position. As far as i know the elections at the ICC are a current event, and she might be named in newspaper articles. Maybe she is out of Your primary scope of writing interest, but i hope You know the adequate Wikipedia authors.

(2) Yayuan Liu, scientist working on electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, and on nanomaterials. Her name appears in the references to the Wikipedia article Solid-state electrolyte, reference no. 50 in the october 21st 2020 version. I guess that Your profession is sufficiently near to hers to make You one of the 1%, perhaps 0.1% best-prepared Wikipedians to write her article. Do Your best: She is a (Science) Communication Lab Fellow, which means she has a clear opinion of style and quality in writing. She was a student of Yi Cui (scientist). My native German wikipedia makes a lot ado about ... GS h-indexes. (I think they are neither nothing nor the ultimate truth about a scientist, but they are something in between). Yayuan Liu's is given here.

--Himbeerbläuling (talk) 14:26, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Added Info: Sabine Nölke leads the committee for the election of the prosecutor, which aims to get an unanimous decision. The court's publications indicate that this is really hard work, and we have to wait for the results whether the committee succeeds. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 13:04, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jesswade88,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Jesswade88,

I see that you specialize in creating pages for minority and women scientists. I had previously created a page for Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford which was live from December 2018- October 2020. It was taken down by cayabi who stated that it was a copyright violation. This was unfortunate because the material that I developed for this page was later used by other sites and not vice versa.

So, now we have a great physician scientist without a page. Would you consider creating this on her behalf as you have more experience than I.

Here is a link to the content that was included in the initial page: https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Fatima_Cody_Stanford Here is some other information: https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/fatima-cody-stanford

A link to her full CV and site is here: https://scholar.harvard.edu/fatimacodystanford/home CV: https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/fatimacodystanford/files/fcs_cv_11.20_revised_0.pdf

Greetings. I wanted to suggest, if you've not considered it already, that you consider using Cite Q as a way to generate your citations. If the referenced work is in Wikidata, you'll easily generate a link to the work, include relevant identifiers like ads bibcode and DOI, but it will also provide a link to authors' wikipedia article when/if they exist. Admittedly, the way the template adds author names isn't perfect - it reflects as published in the reference. Thank you. Trilotat (talk) 13:48, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Example from a recent article you've created {{Cite Q|Q55050032}} generates:

• Carmala N Garzione; Gregory D. Hoke; Julie C Libarkin; Saunia Withers; Bruce MacFadden; John Eiler; Prosenjit Ghosh; Andreas Mulch (1 June 2008). "Rise of the Andes".

The fact was ... that Adi Utarini (pictured) was listed as one of Nature's 10 in 2020 after she released infected mosquitoes all over Yogyakarta? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Adi Utarini. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Adi Utarini), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I've normally been fairly bold in sticking free licensed images on your articles, from some pretty good ones, even if I do say so myself, to some ... not quite as good ones, let's say ... but I've finally reached one that I'm not sure of. Black and white, grainy, looking down, and at dinner rather than at a chalkboard or laboratory. And yet, not actually insulting, and fairly identifiable - a user looking at this picture could probably tell her among a dozen fellow scientists she happened to be sharing a stage with. What do you think, worth adding, or not? --GRuban (talk) 05:04, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the pubic role you’ve taken in promoting women editors and content on Wikipedia. I’m very sorry you’re met with hostility even in spaces that ostensibly share that goal; please know it does not represent all of us. Innisfree987 (talk) 23:45, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lisa Jones (scientist) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

What was your source for the claim "He was only the second Black physicist to complete their doctoral degree at Yale."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnes VQ (talk • contribs) 20:24, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Barnes VQ, I found it here: https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/updates/johnson.cfm. Please update if incorrect? Jesswade88 (talk) 21:00, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I have fixed your mistake. Please be more careful. You should not be casually mixing terms like Black and African-American in contexts where they are not likely to be synonymous. And you should be keeping track of where you get your information from, and you should be including that as a reference at time of publication. As I understand it, Wikipedia has crystal clear rules about this sort of thing, even though, strictly speaking, it has absolutely no liability for your mistakes, sadly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnes VQ (talk • contribs) 00:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Just to be clear, you didn't fix my mistake. You incorrectly added an inline citation. The prize nomination I linked to above was already referenced several times on the biography. I've moved it to the correct place now. Maybe learn how to edit before insulting how other's edit? Jesswade88 (talk) 06:54, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

In your haste to insult me, you appear to have got even more confused than you were before. I added a plain text mention of the APS obituary, because that's where you said this information comes from, which appears to be correct. Yes, I didn't add a link, because I don't know how to. Thank you for pointing out how much of a dummy I am. But rather than add the link yourself, you just replaced my correct mention of the obituary, with an entirely irrelevant link to the prize page. I don't know why, but your mention if it above as if it were the correct link, when it isn't, suggests you simply didn't take enough care in how you went about supposedly teaching me a lesson in how to edit. I have undone your mistake, using my stupid as a frog dumb old plain text methods. Having the biography half right, as opposed to a hundred percent wrong, is I presume, a good way to edit here, no? If you know how to properly add the link, by all means, don't wait for me to figure out how to do it. I probably won't be able to put my learning to practical use however, because apparently I did something wrong when I came across your mistake and attempted to fix it, and I am going to be blocked for daring to fix your mistaken fix of my pretty good first attempt at editing a Wikipedia page, correcting a mistake. Your mistake. No, don't thank me. Oh, you didn't! Not like I did it for free, is it? Oh yes, that's right, I did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnes VQ (talk • contribs) 10:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

As with Johnson, I have been unable to locate the reference for "She moved to the University of Central Lancashire to complete a postgraduate diploma in radio and television." Do you recall where that information might have come from?

While you're searching, please could you also reflect on why it is you might be making this sort of mistake, at this sort of frequency (on a sample of two, you are doing it 100% of the time you hit "publish").

Please check your next article thoroughly before publishing, lest you be three for three. However long it is that you typically spend proof-reading them, I would suggest at the very least, doubling it. At least until you get a handle on the true nature and scale of the problem and have made suitable adjustments (since I cannot believe you would consciously accept having such a high error rate). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnes VQ (talk • contribs) 02:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Are you going to identify where this information came from, or are you just going to wait me out and hope I get blocked for daring to bother you with all my pesky questions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnes VQ (talk • contribs) 10:20, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jesswade88, maybe this is interesting for you, or maybe you know some interested wikipedian. Seems to need accounts on platforms namely Zoom and / or Collaborate.

Hi @Jesswade88: How are you? I came across this Afd this afternoon when it was pointed out by an editor's comment, in another Afd, for an academic at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jothydev Kesavadev. In the discussion of the Afd, there seems to be a double standard being applied. Such a double standard is anathema to both the letter and spirit of Wikipedia. There is a lot of muddled thinking in the Afd. There are really no rational arguments in keep section. Is affirmative action mean muddying the whole body, diluting everything to serve one group. It has to be fair and laudable. So I'm planning or more accurately thinking of taking it back to Afd at the weekend. If it does get deleted, you will go through a damascene conversion, resulting in better, more solidly notable articles as a result. scope_creep^Talk 16:22, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

I've just come across Award-winning professor writes forgotten women into tech-history on the research undertaken by Pernille Bjørn in Copenhagen. As her views seem so similar to yours, I wondered whether it would be useful for the two of you to collaborate (if you are not already doing so). I also wondered whether it would be useful to write a Wikipedia article about Pernille but am a bit worried about notability.

Editor MenciusMoldbug (talk | contribs) keeps trying to add the number of peer-reviewed publications to the header of Claudia Sahm. It reads as if the intent is to denigrate Sahm's expertise, since Sahm has been influential, in part through research that doesn't make it into peer-reviewed publications (such as Fed Notes), and in any case, I think a count of publications ought to go in the research section of the page, not in the page header.

Hi Jess, I suggest as a new for your "People collection" to create a Wikipage for:

Nanthia Suthana. She is Assistant Professor in Neurosurgery here at UCLA and does some amazing work with single unit recordings in humans in virtual realty and the real world. She has published some amazing results over the past couple of months.

Stephanie Ann White. She is Prof at UCLA investigating social learning using songbirds. If you 'investigate' her you find that I do have a conflict here as I am her husband. Still I do think her works is terrific!

Both these women deserve a lot more visibility for their amazing work.

Love what you are doing, do not go away!

Hi there, I am an editor not often involved with biographies, besides historic architects related to places listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Somehow I got started on an article about Florian Krammer (currently a redlink), a colleague of Viviana Simon whom you wrote a nice article about. I guess because I must have seen him in the news, about Covid vaccine work before a vaccine was available, and I thought it was important or useful for Wikipedia to be providing public info on Covid-related sources in the news. Could you possibly please take a look at Draft:Florian Krammer, and see if you could clean it up to be a stub, at least, in mainspace? It looks to me like he is Wikipedia-notable, but I don't know much about bio article standards for scientists. An article about him would link to Viviana Simon and possibly others in your stated interest area, but mainly I am just asking you to consider helping to get something more out relating to Covid and flu vaccinations which are or should be of great interest to everyone. --Doncram (talk) 09:34, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Good evening,

I found the article on my aunt (I'm John Lister, my father was her brother) entirely by accident. May I ask what prompted you to create this entry? If you're not comfortable sharing information publicly, please e-mail me at jhlister@gmail.com. Thank you

Jhlister (talk) 02:16, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)@Jhlister: Don't wish to speak for Jess, but this presentation should give you a very good understanding of why she wants to write about the topics she does, and hopefully you'll be able to see her enthusiasm and dedication coming through.

Hi Jesswade88! I admire your work and on Wikipedia and hope you're doing well! I was editing one of the pages you created, Liza Comita, and I believe the last sentence in the lead was left unfinished mid-sentence. I just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to add to it.

Hello! Awhile back I started Isabel Thomas. Now, according to the article Whizz Pop Bang, you have a sort of connection, perhaps you've even met or communicated at some point.

If so, could you ask her if she's willing to upload (or have the photographer upload) a WP-usable picture of herself (previously unpublished etc etc) on Commons? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:51, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Jamie Paik 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event 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.

I salute your efforts at expanding Wikipedia content. But this one fails to meet notability requirements of Wikipedia. So I have marked it for speedy deletion. -Mad Maths (talk) 14:53, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Jess. I have edited one of your recent articles on people named in the 2022 STATUS list. You have stated that those individuals are "definitive". That adjective is claimed by STAT to apply to the list itself: The most definitive accounting of leaders and influencers in the life sciences, and does not assert that those persons are themselves "definitive". It is more accurate to describe them as "leaders" and "influencers".

Kablammo (talk) 13:05, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Kablammo! Thanks so much. I didn't know how to describe the list. Jesswade88 (talk) 16:32, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the note Jess. I don't think we can describe the list itself as "definitive" as we don't have an independent reliable source that says that. It is a fact that STAT has called these women leaders or influencers. Regards, Kablammo (talk) 18:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Jesswade88,

I didn't really know who to contact about this and I kept seeing your name starting pages for women scientists. First of all, your cause is amazing, thank you for doing what you do. I noticed you created the page for Diana Northup, a cave-focused microbiologist of note from UNM. I was on this page because my mother-in-law, Dr. Kathleen Lavoie, passed away recently, and I was searching for some information for a display my wife and I are going to make for her memorial service (a map with pins for every location she traveled for her research).

Long story short, I'd love to see Kathleen have a wikipedia page like Diana's, who was a close colleague of Kathy's and of (in my probably poor estimation) similar accomplishment. I am not an experienced editor, so I was hoping to enlist you! I have direct access to Kathy's family, laptop, CV, etc. and would love to help in this endeavor. It's possible it is grief speaking, but it feels like her impact should be recorded far more than it is. If not, then why the hell did I spend a week in a cave counting crickets with her? :-)

Please let me know if you're interested, preferably by email as I can't say I check my wikipedia account too often. If providing my email is against the rules, sorry! Feel free to delete. <deleted email>

Thank you,

Hi there, Jess. I enjoyed reading Jess Wade on Wikipedia and work-life balance. As a former EU official who worked for many years with universities on international research projects, I especially appreciated your views on the high fees EU scientists now have to pay to attend UK universities. As for Wikipedia, even if Wade-opedia doesn't get off the ground, I was wondering if it would not be useful for you to create a user page on something like "Deserving scientists not meeting Wikipedia requirements". Simply listing them with a short summary of their achievements may offer opportunities for wider attention by the press. That, in turn, could contribute to their general notability. In any case, it would be interesting to know which budding scientists you have in mind. Such a list might also help to overcome some of our unreasonable acceptance procedures.--Ipigott (talk) 10:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Jesswade88,

Backlog status

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000^[a] at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.^[b]

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

Backlog drive

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.

TIP – New school articles

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

Misc

There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 18314 articles, as of 04:00, 22 March 2026 (UTC), according to DatBot

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
• If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
• To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Notes

1. [a]

   not including another ~6,000 redirects
2. [b]

   The number of weekly reviews reported in the NPP feed includes redirects, which are not included in the backlog we primarily track.

Hello Jesswade88,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination

MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

Open letter to the WMF

The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

TIP - Reviewing by subject

Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

New reviewers

The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
• If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list.

Hi Jesse, I’m work in a UK national organisation where they have recently made an award list named after deceased scientists who are British and linked to metrology. The list have a very good gender balance but with zero non (visibly) white British scientists. I raised the issue but was told that they didn’t find any and ask me to recommend some if I know. To be honest, I am not from the UK, and as many, I know more US scientists than even africans. I would really appreciate if you can help. Abdo2905 (talk) 04:53, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
