Matilda Charlotte Houstoun[edit]
Thank you for creating Matilda Charlotte Houstoun. I hadn't heard of her or her connections before, and I love learning this sort of thing through Wikipedia. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 10:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thankyou, I was making a compendium of women writers and I came across one of her books on Texas. I often find a lot of women's pages tend to be rather scarce, so this one has become rather long. It isn't a tedious read hopefully. TykeLass (talk) 20:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC) 20:00, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've taken the liberty of indenting your message, as is recommended in our talk page guidelines. You mention you are interested in women writers. It's true that women are under-represented on Wikipedia, as editors and as the subject of biographies. Are you aware of WikiProject Women in Red? You may find other editors there who have similar interests to yours. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 13:54, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Resilience Art[edit]
Hello, TykeLass,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Vexations and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Resilience Art for deletion, because it seems to be an article that has been already decided by a consensus decision to be unsuitable for inclusion.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Vexations}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

New article Colombia-Anglo relations reviewed | |
| Greetings. I wanted to thank you for creating Colombia-Anglo relations and let you know I marked it as reviewed. I hope you continue to expand the article. I placed a move request to have the article moved from Colombia-Anglo relations >> Colombia–United Kingdom relations over the existing redirect per WP:AT. I believe you probably tried to create the article under this name, but were unable to because of the redirect. (see Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests). Best wishes from Los Angeles, // Timothy :: talk 11:51, 10 November 2020 (UTC) |

Reference format at History of transgender people in the United Kingdom[edit]
Hello, TykeLass, welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for creating History of transgender people in the United Kingdom. I see that you're making an effort to include references for the content you are adding to the article. That's a good start, but I wanted to let you know that adding just an url between <ref> tags is considered a WP:BAREURL, which is not optimal because of link rot (dead urls). For example, in section #1100 to 1800 you have this bare url reference in Note 6:
<ref>https://www.bl.uk/lgbtq-histories/articles/a-short-history-of-lgbt-rights-in-the-uk# 11/01/2020</ref>
In your citations, please include at least title, author, and date, and preferably also publisher and website or isbn information. I see that User:Ssilvers mentioned this to you already above. It may help you to know that there are a series of {{citation}} templates you can use which will make this easier for you. Here are three of the most popular ones:
{{cite web |last= |first= |title= |url= |date= |website= |publisher= |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date= }}{{cite book |last= |first= |title= |date= |url= |page= |location= |publisher= |isbn= |access-date= }}{{cite journal |journal= |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |title= |url= |publisher= |date= |volume= |issue= |pages= |doi= |access-date= }}
You can copy and paste one of them right into an article between <ref> tags, and fill in the fields, and it will automatically be converted into a properly formatted citation. Here is your Note 6, redone as a {{cite web}} template:
<ref>{{cite web |last=Dryden |first=Steven |title=A Short History of LGBT Rights in the UK |url=https://www.bl.uk/lgbtq-histories/articles/a-short-history-of-lgbt-rights-in-the-uk |date=2020 |website=The British Library |publisher= |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101110951/https://www.bl.uk/lgbtq-histories/articles/a-short-history-of-lgbt-rights-in-the-uk |archive-date=2020-11-01 |access-date=2021-01-13}}</ref>
and here's what it looks like as a footnote.[1] I urge you to replace your Note 6 in the article with this one, and then to fix up the other citations in the article likewise. (You can skip the archive info for now if you want; if you wish to add it, see archive.org.)
Each of the citation templates has many more parameters available, for example, |editor=, |translator=, |language=, |isbn=, and many more; click the links to find complete documentation. There are also many more templates, for news, encyclopedias, and so on. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:53, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Catherine Adelaide Sparkes moved to draftspace[edit]
An article you recently created, Catherine Adelaide Sparkes, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
