Hi! I'm Maryana, and this is my talk page. Please leave me a new message by clicking here.

Feminism in Russia

Hi, Maryana. Nice new article. I just fixed an issue you should be aware of. In this edit, you added a second definition of a named reference "NoonanNechemias2001". This one was to pages 22–23. But there was already a ref named "NoonanNechemias2001" that was to p. 251 and this caused the new one to be collated with the prior one; see here; both showing as p. 251. I fixed this by giving them unique names. However, when there are many such disparate references to the same work, it is better to use a referencing system such as {{sfn}}.

I hope your edit-a-thon went well; I tried helping various pages and participants during it. Br'er Rabbit (talk) 21:21, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help! I need to read up on this sfn thing, because this article is going to require a lot of referencing to different pages of the same books, and I'm reaching the outer limits of my novice Wikipedia citation system (as you can tell by my dumb mistakes :-P). I'll try to tackle reference formatting later this afternoon. Feel free to jump in too, of course! Accedie^{talk to me} 21:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read my contribs. I do an awful lot of this. I did make two further edits. If you're going to be citing many different pages of the same books, {{sfn}} is /the/ way to go. That also means this hybrid is not going to be right for this article; see this way for the path forward. Some more robust examples:

Is it better now? It was kind of a pain to reformat, but it looks much nicer now, I think! I even got up the courage to nominate it for DYK :) Accedie^{talk to me} 00:13, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Better, and betterer. The re-work goes easier when you've done a bunch. I've done hundreds; many of the ones above, for example. And I've taught this system to many who've run with it. {sfn}/{sfnRef} works well with articles primarily sourced to paginated sources. For things sourced primarily to things on the web, using the WP:LDR system is usually best. You can do hybrids, as diff'd above, when the sources are mixed.

fyi, links to gBook previews usually rot; they are pretty arbitrary and capricious about what they will actually serve over time. You can use full urls with {sfn}, but it can clutter the article prose in the same way inline citation templates do. To sort that, use another hybrid: ref-tags in LDR form containing {{harvnb}} using links on the |p= parameter ;) the urls are then out of the prose. I don't do that much but there are examples somewhere. Let me know when you need to learn this. Br'er Rabbit (talk) 00:38, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(i got my old user page back; it's dynamic;) Br'er Rabbit (talk) 11:34, 18 June 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Thank you for minding the gap!

		Mind the Gap Award
		Thank you Maryana for not only lending a hand with the Edit-a-thon this past weekend, but for your great work at Feminism in Russia and beyond. Thanks for minding the gap! Sarah (talk) 21:40, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

For your help copyediting William T. Anderson a few months back, it was just promoted to features status today. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I didn't ask for any copyediting help on the last article I brought to FA--it was about a lynching and was a pretty disturbing read. Probably one of the few articles that has no chance of being TFA. Hope things are going well with you, how's the weather in San Francisco? Mark Arsten (talk) 05:22, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats again, Mark! I actually did read Lynching of Jesse Washington – I was looking at examples of {{sfn}}-formatted references so I could improve an article that I was working on – and you're right, it was interesting but horrifying. (As for TFA... I mean, we did have The Human Centipede on the main page, so you never know.)

Anyway, just let me know if you ever need another pair of eyes/hands on your next big project! And if you have a minute, I'd love your opinion on Feminism in Russia. I'd like to take it to GA at some point, and your expertise and improvements would be greatly appreciated :) Accedie^{talk to me} 02:54, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, glad to hear that you read it. I'm shifting away from the horrifying stuff for a little while, writing about new religious movements now. There are quite a few people out there who claim to be Jesus, that's for sure. I'll make sure I read Feminism in Russia, that is an interesting topic. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(love the mind the gap, above;)

Hi, the latest makeover to {sfn} is Nansen's Fram expedition, which will be on the main page, next. It's a good read and more eyes on it while it's on offer to the anyones is goodness. Br'er Rabbit (talk) 15:05, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I left some comments about Feminism in Russia. Not surprisingly, it was a pretty well written article :) Mark Arsten (talk) 20:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE July 2012 Copy Edit Drive

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors

The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg.

Not a trout, but a ham

I just. Can't. Control. Myself. I find. His page. So. Compelling. And. I. Find Myself. Waiting. For. A chance. To show. – James T. Kirk, before someone drops a bridge on him

Sorry! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:09, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but the real looker is on the left.

So many pictures of Kirk, but none of them shirtless? That's just false advertising for the Original Series. Anyway, I was always more of a Spock girl. I was even Spock for Halloween two years back! Black hair dye sure does take a long time to wash out... Accedie^{talk to me} 03:25, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*raises eyebrow* Fascinating. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:30, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's all in the eyebrow. Accedie^{talk to me} 03:38, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Any good pictures of Uhura around? Mark Arsten (talk) 04:12, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm picking up mixed signals, captain. - Uhura

Now there's a fine lady. The female ensign in "A Taste of Armageddon" was more my type though. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:30, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New project

Hi Accedie, I've been working on a new project, Marshall Applewhite. Any chance you'd be up for some copyediting on it? You might enjoy the article, if only for the pictures :) Mark Arsten (talk) 03:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say if there's no Spock, but then... Good job! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:46, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, the pictures really made me laugh. I'm open to a different picture from Revelation, I couldn't find a good one of the two witnesses though. The martyrs under the flying alter kind of looked like a spaceship so I figured that was good enough. Mark Arsten (talk) 13:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ahahahaha... wow. Next you'll be finding clever ways of inserting Star Trek images into Civil War history articles (now that would be impressive!). Of course I'd be happy to take a look and see what I can do. And thank you for your comments at Talk:Feminism in Russia – much appreciated! Accedie^{talk to me} 18:43, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
