Revision as of 18:51, 8 February 2015

Welcome to Gobonobo's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply.

Women redlinks

Thanks so much for adding more content to the page, I wish everyone knew about it! I have been deleting created articles from the page, should I be striking them through to inspire us? Gareth E Kegg (talk) 13:36, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gareth. I just copied the links to User:Dsp13/Redlinks/Women from this list. When I originally went through Black Women in America, I only included the biographical entries, so neither list is quite complete. Hopefully we'll be able to create articles for some of them during Black WikiHistory Month. I think you'll be fine continuing to delete the blue links—it was what Dsp13 always did. gobonobo 16:48, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to thank you for this as well, it's been great for building up potential Black WikiHistory Month work, and we will be consulting these at NYPL Schomburg!--Pharos (talk) 08:29, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Myra Adele Logan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mount Sinai Hospital (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

GamerGate Discretionary sanctions notice

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding any page relating to or any edit about: (i) the Gender Gap Task Force; (ii) the gender disparity among Wikipedians; and (iii) any process or discussion relating to these topics, all broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
