StarryGrandma (talk) 22:01, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lourie is a very interesting person as a computer scientist and as an artist. As an artist without major awards or exhibitions and as a computer scientist in industry where documentation is hard to come by you need to make the case that she is well-known enough for a Wikipedia article. See Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative professionals.

Also the article needs to be rewritten as an encyclopedia article. It sounds like an essay or an artists statement. Leave out all the explanation of the kinds of things she worked on. They have their own articles in Wikipedia and that kind of material belongs in them, not here. It doesn't matter how many papers she wrote. What matters is what people have said about her and her work, and we need to find references for that. Leave out all the text notes at the end. Text like that either belongs in the article itself or not in it at all. She sounds very interesting and I will be glad to help. StarryGrandma (talk) 22:03, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Email not getting through[edit]

Hi Jan,

Something is not working right with the email. I didn't get one from you. I emailed you again, but didn't get the copy I sent myself. And I tried emailing myself and that didn't work.

I am getting back to working on your article. I will have to remove things that I can't find a reference for at this point. But it will be there in the article history. StarryGrandma (talk) 15:47, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi StarryGrandma, Maybe this is the place I should respond to this message, not as I did on your talk page yesterday. Thank you for reaching me and for continuing to edit. I understand and appreciate the maintenance of the development history. JanJanvermont (talk) 23:33, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Janvermont. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!

About your article[edit]

I have begun to work on the Textile Graphics section and have just ordered a copy of your book Textile Graphics/Computer Aided from Amazon. (It's amazing what is available on Amazon.) I'm taking out material but we can put it back in once there are references. From the brief glimpse of the text of your book that I could see on Google Books, it looks like you talked about the development of the project. That will make a very good reference.

I'd like to continue our discussion on the talk page of your Draft article. It is available either by going to your article at Draft:Janice (Jan) Richmond Lourie and clicking on the Talk tab, or going directly to Draft talk:Janice (Jan) Richmond Lourie. I have copied our previous discussions there from my talk page. I am going to ask you some questions there. I am learning a lot about the early history of computer graphics.

Disambiguation link notification for December 13[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Janice Lourie, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages John McCarthy and Transportation theory. 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.

Subpages[edit]

Hello! I saw your question at the Teahouse about some subpages to make notes and such. If you want to see how some such subpages are used, you can have a look at my user page where my subpages are listed. You can have a similar links to pages that you need, on your page if you like. Just name them properly and follow the other advice you got at the Teahouse. Best, w.carter-Talk 15:54, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi W. Carter, I'm here.[edit]

I believe I'm supposed to wait till you begin speaking here and continuing what Phil began. I'm ready! JanJanvermont (talk) 19:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moved conversation here[edit]

Hello again Janvermont, I'm continuing the conversation you started at Philg88's talk page.

First of all I hope that you have read the page that Philg88 linked to for you. Let's start with that. It is a very common misconception, that many new users make, that since anyone can edit, anyone could also be able to create a page about themselves. That is not the case. The Wikipedia only accepts articles about persons whose notability can be documented by reliable sources, and since it is very hard to write objectively about yourself, even notable persons are strongly discourage to create articles about themselves. I'm sure you did not know all this when you started to create the article and you acted in good faith. But now that you've declared that the article is about yourself and you know that there are rules regarding this, you should just back away from it. Do not do any further editing on it and do not try to edit any other articles to link to it. This is the general advice given to people in your situation. Some people put a notice about a conflict of interest on their user page, but since I assume that you want to continue to edit and contribute with other articles, while at the same time remaining a bit anonymous, I don't think you should do that. Just stay away from the article. This is also mentioned on the linked page. I will have a look at the article and see what things might have to be removed or altered, to make it as neutral as possible. I'm sorry to say, that at the moment all this rules out the use of the book you mentioned previously.

As for your question about orphans and links. Of course it is best if as many articles as possible are linked with each other, but sometimes there will be articles that become orphans, there are quite a lot of them, so not so terrible. One link is better than none. :) When an article is created, editors try to find ways to link it with other articles. The easiest way to do this is to click on the links in the article and see if something is mentioned on those pages that might be "linkable". I recently helped another editor with the article about music group Dolchamar were links to the article had to be found. I clicked on several of the links and found that the group was mentioned but not linked in several other articles. So it was an easy task to just link them. In this case I think that Philg88 looked at the linked pages to see if he could find a similar mentioning. Since none were found he made the choice to add the name to the alumni of the school.

Another way to go hunting for other articles that may be relevant is to just enter the name in the usual searchbox, but instead of clicking on the article that appears as a suggestion you click below at the "containing...". Then you get articles where the name appears even if it is not linked, and you can go and add the links.

Oh, and when you sign your posts, the four ~~~~ is quite enough, if you add your name as well it will sort of be double-signed. I will also leave a little guide for you here on how to get in touch with other editors. Please don't hesitate to ask here or at my talk page All the best for now, w.carter-Talk 19:34, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The situation require some explanation and I will be as concise as I can. I

I did not prepare the AFC by myself it was done with me by my IBM colleague my IBM managers wife and my IBM manager. This was all done at the instigation of my former IBM manager. When the AFC was denied Starry(grandma agreed to be my editor. Passages that have been submitted those were partially written and all edited by stare grandma. She did much personal research and verified every source and every activity and you can read her complete interaction with me on my draft talk page. She suggested to me that someone else submit the AFC and I fully agreed. I did not submit this it was picked up from my own subpages when I was trying to organize some material. I did not submit it. However, because it contains StarryGgrandma's edits and only those I was pleased to see it had been picked up. My user page had been eliminated when someone transferred my original submission to a draft page and so i was trying to generate user pages for organizational purposes it was misinterpreted. Please understand, I was aware of the principles of Wikipedia and had no intention to violate them. There was a conjunction of glitches that happened with the removal of my space, my use of the remaining space and other things that I did not understand. StarryGrandma has disappeared for five months I do believe there is a health issue involved. At that point I decided to regroup and look at what had happened in the time that we had worked together in the process of organizing that material.

Sorry ipad battery dying, no more life to clean this up. Please understand. JanJanvermont (talk) 20:40, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You helped me before on Teahouse with a question about the Janice Lourie Wikipedia page, so I am returning with a follow on question. The page has been tagged with an orphan tag, however it is only a week old. It doesn't make sense to me that it should have internal links. The page has many external references to insure its notability.

Would it be appropriate for me to select undo and remove the tag? happened.

Moving on! :) But the tag is removed. The article is no longer an orphan since Philg88 linked it. You may have to refresh your page to see that. :) Inner links within the Wikipedia have nothing to do with the notability of an article, that relies solely on the references of which there are plenty. Inner links are just for navigating on the WP. You have nothing to worry about! And yes I understand that you have followed all the instructions for creating the article as well as you could, and it was accepted and all. But the fact remains that since it is about you, you should back away from it now and not edit any further on it. The article looks fine, it is much more than most people will ever get here, leave it up to others to continue with it now. You can move on and start some new article on a subject that is dear to you and perhaps not so "controversial" for you.

Understand that we are not mad at you or anything, you did all this in the best way you knew and the WP got a nice article as a result of this. I just saw at the Teahouse that another user with a similar "problem" posted a question that was answered. You can follow that conversation, it might be interesting for you. Feel free to post more follow up questions when the battery is reloaded.

All the best, w.carter-Talk 21:07, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know: I'm going to be away from the computer for an hour or so, but I'll be back later tonight. Btw, do you want me to help you fix up your user page a bit? It looks a little like an article right now. Just something simple that you can add to later. see ya', w.carter-Talk 21:27, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How to alert other editors[edit]

When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a red square followed by a long yellow box (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in a just the red box notification on that users pages. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write {{ping|W.carter}} resulting in @W.carter: or [[User:W.carter|W.carter]] resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~~~~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.

The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. Like complicated questions at the Teahouse can be continued on the appropriate talk page. - w.carter-Talk 19:36, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some fixes[edit]

Hello again! I have been at Janice Lourie and fixed up some of the formatting. The text was just fine, so none of that is touched, but there were a lot of extra "spacing" and redundant parameters that should preferably not be in in-line citations. It just looks as if I have "removed" a lot, but that was just extra padding. The article is now "slim lined". I also added an infobox, that is what most articles have, fixed the redirects and disambiguation links. I was also at the Commons and fixed up a category as a subcategory of "Digital photography" for the pictures. That allows for a category tag at the article. You can see it at the bottom of the article. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 00:44, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've also created a talk page for the article with projects. - w.carter-Talk 07:34, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate everything you have done. You are a hero to me.Janvermont (talk) 13:37, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that might be a bit too much, it's always great fun to help nice people. :) (...and, if anything, that would be "heroine") - w.carter-Talk 14:03, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

July 12 2020 to Jmabel documenting previous AFC validation[edit]

  @Jmabel: the editor, w.carter, who helped in the final stages, taking over after Starry Grandma, is on a leave now and so I am 
  including her initial statements. She suggested that we leave it as is and of course I agreed. I haven't touched it in six years so it is 
  as was approved. Please tell me if you think it will leave my Wikipedia page as is.

Here is our dialogue
