Welcome! Just a couple of minor comments. I see that you use ''ibid'' in your refs. While that's common in print, there is no "final version" on Wikipedia, and if another editor inserts an intervening ref, the ''ibid'' becomes confusing. Better to cite your text at the bottom and use the "author (year) page number(s)" format for the ref. Also note that page ranges should use an endash &ndash;, not a hyphen.

== Speedy deletion nomination of Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586) ==

Hello SapientSquid,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586)]] for deletion, because it's a redirect that seems implausible or is an unlikely search term.

If you don't want Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586) to be deleted, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586)}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Hi there, SapientSquid. I've just been looking through [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/SapientSquid your articles], reviewing and assessing those requiring attention. You have certainly been making many useful contributions. Keep up the good work. I see from the above messages that you have been trying to create articles with the Q reference from Wikidata. This often appears in redlists when the entry coincides with a name which already exists as a title of an article. When you create such articles, you should change the Q reference to something else, e.g. Jean Doe (painter).--[[User:Ipigott|Ipigott]] ([[User talk:Ipigott|talk]]) 07:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Women in Red

Hi there, SapientSquid, and welcome to Women in Red. You'll see in my welcome message above that there are a number of links to sites which provide guidance on Wikipedia editing. When you feel you are ready to create a biography, you should look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ipigott, thank you for reaching out.
I've created a short biography of Álof árbót Haraldsdottir and am ready to submit it for publishing. I see this section in Women in Red's "Primer for creating women's biographies" page:
"The article is basically complete and you can move it to main space or ask an editor you trust to review it and move it to main space. It is not recommended that you submit drafts to Wikipedia:Articles for creation. If you do not have the ability to move an article, or have no relationship with an editor you trust, post a review request on the Women in Red Talk Page."
Do you recommend that I do this, and can you advise me how I can make the draft available to an individual editor rather than submitting it into the general pool?
Thank you. SapientSquid (talk) 12:16, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
An editor will not see your message here unless your start it with their user name, {eg User:Jimfbleak for me) and sign it with four tildes ~~~~ when you post it. That will send an alert. You cannot in general pick your reviewer Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hallgerðr Höskuldsdóttir has been accepted

Hallgerðr Höskuldsdóttir, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as C-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. This is a great rating for a new article, and places it among the top 20% of accepted submissions — kudos to you! You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Comment

Welcome! Just a couple of minor comments. I see that you use ibid in your refs. While that's common in print, there is no "final version" on Wikipedia, and if another editor inserts an intervening ref, the ibid becomes confusing. Better to cite your text at the bottom and use the "author (year) page number(s)" format for the ref. Also note that page ranges should use an endash –, not a hyphen. Keep up the good work Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:55, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586)

Hello SapientSquid,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586) for deletion, because it's a redirect that seems implausible or is an unlikely search term.

If you don't want Elizabeth Kemp (Q18528586) to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

A tag has been placed on Ethel Watts (Q93858085), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

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. – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 19:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Biographies of English women

Hi there, SapientSquid. I've just been looking through your articles, reviewing and assessing those requiring attention. You have certainly been making many useful contributions. Keep up the good work. I see from the above messages that you have been trying to create articles with the Q reference from Wikidata. This often appears in redlists when the entry coincides with a name which already exists as a title of an article. When you create such articles, you should change the Q reference to something else, e.g. Jean Doe (painter).--Ipigott (talk) 07:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
