Precious

blue-winged teal and women writers
Thank you, wanderer in Canada's National parks, for quality articles such as blue-winged teal, for politicians and "lighting a candle" for women writers such as Sugako Hashida, Julia Gjika, Chen Xuezhao and Zhao Luanluan, for redirects and your mantra "add source & expand", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You're invited! Women in Red World Virtual Edit-a-thon on Women in Science

You are invited! Join us remotely! World Virtual Edit-a-thon on Women in Science

Dates: 8 to 29 November 2015 Location: Worldwide/virtual/online event Host/Facilitator: Women in Red (WiR) in collaboration with Women scientists: Did you know that only 15% of the biographies on Wikipedia are about women? WiR focuses on "content gender gap". If you'd like to help contribute articles on women and women's works, we warmly welcome you! Sponsor: New York Academy of Sciences Event details: This is a virtual edit-a-thon hosted by WiR in parallel with a "phyisical" event during the afternoon of Sunday, November 22 in New York City. It will allow all those keen to improve Wikipedia's coverage of women in science to participate. As the virtual edit-a-thon stretches over three weeks, new participants will be able to draw on the assistance of more experienced editors while creating, translating or improving articles on women who are (or have been) prominent in the field. All levels of Wikipedia editing experience are welcome. RSVP and learn more: →here←--Ipigott (talk) 10:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

William Oke

Greetings, I have several citations to add to the stub you started for "William Oke" but do not know how to add them to be consistent with the style you started. As you can tell, I also added some content to the page--but did not know how to move the existing citations. I am also wondering with these additions, including some new citations, maybe the page would move off the "stub" status? I am brand new to wiki editing so please bear with me. Are you still interested in helping edit the "William Oke" page? If so, how do you want to proceed with me getting you the additional content and citations? thanks Klossoke (talk) 13:38, 23 November 2015 (UTC)klossoke

Thank you for your helpful comments on my Talk page. I have several conflicting dates for Oke's year of birth and am trying to find a source document, such as newpaper birth announcment or church record. I will do a bit more research, then move on if nothing is more solid, so I can add the other content with citations I found. Klossoke

Greetings, I am still working on content and citations, but at this time, I want to bring to your attention some major changes. Please note the following information to support changes I made to the page re: Harbor Grace Standard, is spelled Harbor. Here is the citation for Oke apprenticing from age of 13 with Standard Ref: The Newfoundland Quarterly vol. 4, no. 2 (October) 1904, pg. 16,18-19. http://www.archive.org/stream/v4t6newfoundlandquar04stjouoft/v4t6newfoundlandquar04stjouoft_djvu.txt Here is the information that Oke was printer and publisher from 1888: Munn & Oke, May 23, 1888-1936 Ref: Memorial University, Centre for Newfoundland Studies. Historical NL Newspapers. http://www.library.mun.ca/cns/nlnews/title/g-l/

Please note that this Munn, is John F. Munn, listed as Editor. NOT John G. Munn, merchant. Ref: McAlpine's Newfoundland Directory, 1898. http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/compoundobject/collection/cns_tools/id/46634 Thank you for all your help as I am still very much a novice with wiki! Klossoke (talk) 16:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)klossoke

Dear Big Iron, The citation #3 you added previously, also works two sentences earlier, 2nd paragraph, end of 1st sentence after “and was educated there.” This reference includes mention by name of several schools he attended and even the names of the headmasters/teachers. Ref: The Newfoundland Quarterly vol. 4, no. 2 (October) 1904, pg. 16,18-19. http://www.archive.org/stream/v4t6newfoundlandquar04stjouoft/v4t6newfoundlandquar04stjouoft_djvu.txt

I found some images of W. A. Oke, and I particularly like this one page that has both Oke and his wife Sophia. Is it possible to show the actual images themselves, or could we find someone to help? At a minimum, maybe post the link to the page? Here is the citation with the copyright agreement language from the MUN digital library. ref: Newfoundland Quarterly, Number 4, April 1919, page 4. http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/ref/collection/quarterly/id/21462 As long as we provide the source of the image, we can post it on Wikipedia. As specified here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ca/

Regarding William's birth date, census and other documents report his birth year variously as 1854, 1856, 1857, 1859. The 1857 date you have seems the most plausible based on several sources of evidence I have. Given the confusion, might you add this reference to that of the birth date, because it reports his Dec. 1857 baptism and specifies the names of his parents; a good identifier since there may be another William Oke in the family born in 1854 nearby in Portugal Cove. Ref- Pre 1891 Registration Records, Harbour Grace District. Vol. 44, Harbour Grace Area, Church of England Baptisms 1854– 1859, Pg. 17. http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/pre-1891-hbr-grace-ce-bap-1854-1859-p-1-27-hg.shtml

Here is the citation for William’s Date of death: Feb. 24, 1923. The Guardian was a Bay Roberts newspaper. Ref: Guardian. Friday, March 2, 1923. [1] Klossoke (talk) 14:22, 8 December 2015 (UTC)klossoke

Greetings, Here is a citation for the 2nd paragraph, “...drowned when Oke was just four.” His father’s tragic death was in Feb. 1862. That makes Oke born Dec. 1857, four years, 2 months old. Ref: Burial Records, 1860 – 1869. St. Paul's Anglican Church, Harbour Grace, NL. http://nl.canadagenweb.org/cbhg_hg_burials_1860.htm Klossoke (talk) 14:28, 8 December 2015 (UTC)klossoke

Greetings, Thank you for continuing to help expand the William A. Oke page and I am so glad I can filter the information through your experience. I have been trying find more information for Sophia aka, "Sophie" Oke. unfortunately I cannot locate why I thought her birth was in December 1862. All I can find is reference to her baptism on Jan. 17, 1863. In this case, should we go with ~ Jan. 1863?

Two citations for same Jan 17, 1863 date of baptism of Sophia Snow: PRE 1891 REGISTRATION RECORDS Harbour Grace District, Volume 44, HARBOUR GRACE AREA. Church of England Baptisms 1860 – 1865, page 44. http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/pre-1891-hbr-grace-ce-bap-1860-1865-p-28-58-hg.shtmlPage 44. Baptized Baptism records 1861-1864. St. Paul's Anglican Church, Harbour Grace. http://nl.canadagenweb.org/cbhg_hg_bap_1861.htm

Date of Death: June 11, 1938 deceased, Mrs. Sophia L OKE, O.B.E., Harbor Grace. Daily News, Robinson & Co., St. John’s, NL. June 1938. [exact day that death notice published?--I am still trying to find this] [2].

Here are some additional citations for her: First President of the local Women’s Patriotic Association during the war: Newfoundland Quarterly, Number 4, April 1919, page 4. http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/ref/collection/quarterly/id/21462

O.B.E. Officer, Civil Division, the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.—used nickname, "Sophy". http://www.scarletfinders.co.uk/191.html

Next, I am continuing to look for the citation about her being the principal of the high school. Klossoke (talk) 14:25, 23 December 2015 (UTC)klossoke — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klossoke (talk • contribs) 15:03, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Update on citation for Sophia Oke death notice: A librarian was kind enough to pull the issue and located the date of publication 6/13/1938 and the page no. 10 for notice of June 11, 1938 deceased, Mrs. Sophia L OKE, O.B.E., Harbor Grace. IN: Daily News, June 13, 1938. Page 10. Robinson & Co., St. John’s, NL.

Dear Big Iron, thank you for the encouragement--it worked! I added the citation for Shannon Park, and honestly the only reason I was able to accomplish this was I looked at a citation you already had added that was similar to what I needed and I copied the format exactly! yeah! Klossoke (talk) 14:25, 23 December 2015 (UTC)klossoke

Greetings Big Iron, If you check back to the William Oke page, you will see that it has come some distance from where we started. I noticed on its "Talk" page, that it still is listed as a "Stub" of "Low Importance" to Canada and Newfoundland. I was wondering whether the "Stub" status can be changed? Also, would the talk page be the place for me to list some questions that I would like to know the answers to in order to improve the William Austin Oke page but have no good sources for that others might? Thanks, Klossoke (talk) 14:04, 16 February 2016 (UTC)Klossoke

Barnstars and thank you are not enough

For too long CFD has been mushroom territory, and so many changes occur in the darkness of the shadow of the few who inhabit the territory.

Your notification at project talk pages, not just death, but medicine, biography, and the consideration you have taken over the issue, should be seen as an example of how the process should be in consideration of others. An excellent contribution, it should be a standard process, however too many seem to regress to the formulaic notify a creator of the item and leave it at that. Thank you for your effort !

Hi, I noticed that you just started this article. Actually, I've been working on the same subject for a few days. I have a lot more information, but am not finished yet. I posted it at my sandbox so you can see where I'm up to. Perhaps we could combine our efforts for a finished product? Yoninah (talk) 01:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I'm very surprised that you took my information from my sandbox and added it to the article. I didn't mean for you to do that at all; it was still in draft. I just finished my research and posted a new version that incorporates your basic article and Ronald Kessler's changes. I didn't include all the information on her father because I couldn't access the source. Yoninah (talk) 21:46, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Judy Quinn

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Judy Quinn 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 or group of people, but it 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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Anne Lacaton

Hi. I was working on a draft that I started on Lacaton and Vassal, and noticed that you had already created an article on Anne Lacaton. If it's OK I'd still like to do the article on the office, but to do about her article? Merge the content, or keep it separate? Either way is fine with me. My draft is at User:Margin1522/draft_LacatonVassal -- still mainly in French, which I'm planning to translate and probably replace some of the content with references to sources in English. Thanks. – Margin1522 (talk) 16:22, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
