Hi Joe,
Please let me know if this is a a question I should take to the Teahouse instead of asking you.
I have been reviewing the red list of women archeologists and noticed that the webpage/book "Breaking Ground: Women in Old Archeology" has pdf biographies of many women on our list.
I have not seen inline citations in the pdf biographies that I have read and few references for biographical information. Should I be looking for more detailed references (primary sources) for the biographies that I will be putting together for Wikipedia or are these pdf biographies sufficient reference?
Thanks MauraWen (talk) 19:10, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I can see you were just trying to be helpful, but I want to point to that you are under no obligation to take a request for deletion by an IP/SPA making its maiden edit and turn it into Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dorothy King (2nd nomination). It can be just be left on the talk page. In this case, the fact that there is a previous AFD listed on the talk page as "closed as keep" is a clue that this might not be the sort of article that should be moved to AFD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:10, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello Joe Roe, About my edit on the Gobleki Tepe article, the author Hancock is arguing with valid and reasonable logical arguments his point of view. Why can't the article reflect to the public that point of view? Especially since there is no consensus whatsoever on the origins of the site. Also i would like to add massive scientific opinion about the meteorite hypothesis,[1] that backs up the claim that ancient civilizations could be the authors of many megalithical sites. The edit i made was not suppose to make a definitve claim, just to reflect a rational and probable point of view in the midst of a lack of scientific consensus.

We now have 815 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Recieved a msg about a edit war. I do not believe that calling or citing an article claiming that the paleo diet is a fad to be accurate in any sense, thus why I keep removing it. Cookie, grapefruit etc.. are fad diets because they claim quick weight loss. That is not the goal of the paleo. Facts00 (talk) 20:30, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello Joe Roe! Thanks for your interest on the draft, I am gladyou think it is in publishable state. I still have a few points to add once I have some free time but I can always do this in the published wikipedia article. As I am still not familiar with how to turn the draft into an official article it would be a great help if you could! Please let me know when you its transfered.

Hi Joe,
First question---I have been working on a draft on archeologist Dorothy Lamb. I am a bit confused on on how to list her name: Dorothy Lamb, Dorothy (Lamb) Brooke Nicholson or Lady Dorothy (Lamb) Brooke Nicholson.
I put that question on the Teahouse forum, It was recommended that I use the name she is known by-- "Dorothy Lamb". I noticed a new article today on archeologist Jane Renfrew. She is listed as Lady Renfrew. How should I list Dorothy in the infobox--Dorothy Lamb or Lady Brooke Nickolson? And how should I refer to her in the article? If there is a naming guideline for the women archeologists, I want to follow that naming guideline.
Second question-- I am finding footnotes and citations to be a bit of a challenge. Many of the women archeologists that I will be working on have the one Brown University reference. I am concerned I am going to list too many or too few footnotes with the one reference. Any advice on that, I have read the Help--Editing, but still a little confused about how often to use footnotes.
thanks Maura

Hi Joe,
I am working on my next article: Myrtle Florence Broome. The Myrtle Broom pdf bio that is on the Breaking Ground website does not have a lot of detailed information on Myrtle's life. I believe I can access information about her parents and her birth date if I use UK census records from Ancestry.com. (A preliminary search found her father in London at the time of her birth) I put a question on the Teahouse Forum about using census records for articles and have not gotten a response. I later found a Cite:Census Wikipage, so I am assuming its ok to use census records from Ancestry.com. Please let me know if its not.
The photos I have found of Myrtle on the internet either have copyright protection or have no copyright information at all. I have emailed the Griffith Institute, where her letters are being archived, asking if there are any photos available to use for the biography. The librarian is forwarding my email to the archives dept. Please let me know if I should not be contacting other organizations for information. I am assuming it is ok.
I have also contacted the Ancient Egypt Foundation, which appears to have public domain photos of watercolors that Amice Calvery and Myrtle worked on together in Egypt. The response I received this morning in answer to my question about the rights to using these photos is as follows:
"How marvellous that you are writing about Myrtle Broome! I wonder where you were able to find enough information. The work of women in Egyptology has always been shoved to one side in favour of the men, with the posible exception of Amelia Edwards, who gets a lot of attention from the EES.
We do not ourselves have any copyright restrictions on those images. The original books, of which we possess a set, were published without any copyright notices of any kind, were funded by the philanthropy of John D. Rockefeller, and we regard them as being in the public domain. The University of Chicago seems to think it has some rights of some kind, and they apparenty wish to restrict the use of them if taken from their website. We do not believe that they have any legal basis for that. Before putting the images online I notifed Chris Naunton, then of the EES, that we were doing so and that we regarded them to be in the public domain. We cannot ourselves grant any permissions, and all we can do is express our view that none are needed."
Will the above information allow me to use these Images for my article? Are they considered public domain?
Thanks MauraWen (talk) 19:18, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello Joe
I have found your imput most helpful and explanatory. I am deeply grateful for all the constructive editing that most contributors have done on the article and I truly don't mind guidance in any sense - I welcome it! Firstly, half of the time I am not sure where to go to respond, even now I am responding with trepidation not knowing with confidence that this is the right way to respond to you as there are so many links within links within links to know what is the appropriate option. Nor do I know when suggestions come up on boxes how to fully implement them. Shame wiki cannot allocate a guide to each newcomer if not to make life a tad easier to contribute. The disputed recurring problems, in my humble opinion, seems to be notability and references. The fact is that Stanley Leopold Fowler DID build the Elizabethan Village in Armadale, he DID win the prestigious Sir David Brand Award for Tourism, he DID have three attempts to get permission off Dr. Levi Fox, the Elizabethan Village DID get a plaque commemorating him and the Elizabethan Village as a historic site, which he built. What some one personally thinks about the site pales into insignificance with the fact that it is there and standing as a historic site. I might not like the Stonehenge but it is there as a testimony to someone. I personally saw the blueprints at the archives at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford -upon -Avon. The references kindly given by his daughter, Sally-ann Fowler were from newspaper articles from the 70's (I provided images to this effect of the articles) and I have asked wiki permissions ([Ticket#2017012910007647] Stanley Leopold Fowler) if these can be used. The problem, as I see it, is that they cannot be used as permission needs to be sought from the authors of these articles (who are possibly deceased and cannot be tracked, although I have tried). When the article was initially proposed for deletion this issue, I thought was dealt with but it seems to have reared it's ugly head three times. I hoped that dealing with it once was enough! The issue of collaboration as I see it, especially with the last deletion proposal, was that there was no collaboration nor constructive guidance by the editor who deleted it. Albeit, I must apologize for thinking it was Theroadislong although he/she cited COI. I was fascinated by the man who actually created something tangible for prosperity, which is officially deemed a historic site, and there is nothing concrete said about him. Is he to fall into obscurity because of referencing? If my style of writing was the issue that can be changed, but no one even said it was to me for me to correct it, although it was called a 'hagiography'. Yes there are guidelines on wiki, but those seem to also be at the whim of individual interpretation. I question how many times can the same article can be up for deletion and feel saddened by this whole experience and wonder at the concept of cyber community...nothing different than the three dimensional world. Going back to the beginning, I cannot stress how grateful I am for constructive editors who have truly contributed, helped and guided this newcomer...so on a positive...there is always hope!

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 815 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

You rated my article Rumicucho stub class. To be polite, that seems highly unfair for a 6,000 byte well-referenced article with info-box, map, etc. In fact, the guy who reviewed this new article commented that it was "well constructed" and suggested that I nominate it for a DYK.
I've created more than 100 articles and I've never had one rated as a stub. Please take a look at your work. Smallchief (talk

Hi Joe,
I noticed this week that five women archaeologist articles that I created currently have an orphan status. I understand now after reading about orphan status why these articles need links.
Most of these women from the red list are pretty obscure, I am not sure if I can find any links. I am not sure what to do next, and I am now reluctant to create additional articles on the Women in Red list in archaeology, as most of the remaining women will probably be classified as orphans or may be later deleted.
Please advise.
Maura

Dear Joe Roe, I am contacting you because you reviewed the article AEDP, and so I am familiar with you. I was contacted by the person who developed aedp to ask about two separate emails she received from people claiming to be wikipedians. One offered help get her biography draft published (a draft I am working on) for pay, and the other just very strange but wanting a pdf from her files of an article referenced in the aedp article, claiming to give it more exposure? I will forward you these emails. I told the person not to respond to the emails. Can I somehow communicate about this with you that is not completely public? I'd like to foward these emails but in a more secure format. two concerns, 1 someone claiming to be a "wikipedian" offering work for money. 2. someone asking for a pdf from her download file so they can write an article on an article - and also giving links to how to make a particular article open access (which it already is anyway). Thank you How do I hear back from you? ON my user talk page? Carrie Ruggieri Carrieruggieri (talk) 12:23, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the near instantaneous review. I intended to create a stub article, and then work on it to flesh it out after changing its name, but was prevented in doing so using the proper name, because there were dead Wikilinks at the 2017 Special Election article, and at the disambiguation page for James Thompson, which all just redirected to the Special Election article rather than the nonexistent article using what would have been the proper title. I figured I could just create a page with the James Thompson (Wichita politician) title, after removing the useless Wikilinks, and then rename the page, (Kansas politician) and replace what would have then been the usable Wikilinks. For reasons I don't understand, I was blocked. I made a page name change request and hope I did it properly at the technical move request section. If you're able to effect the name change, that would be a big help, and I can then go to it and finish with the pertinent edits. Thompson was virtually unknown in political circles before filing for the vacant seat and winning a close caucus vote for the Democratic nomination from a prominent politician, and finishing closer than any Democrat since 1996 in the April election for the vacant seat. That's the reason he didn't have an article. I have long shared your interest in archaeology, mostly focused on Meso and North America, have volunteered on digs, and have visited many of the countries of Southeast Asia, including ancient Cham temples on the coast of Viet Nam.

I want to thank you for catching and fixing my mistakes [1] [2]. However, with the context of this IP's edit history and the unsourced ethnic content of the addition, I rather quickly assumed vandalism. It's an easy conclusion to arrive at, especially given that I lack your knowledge of the subject. So calling my edits "incompetent" wasn't very WP:AGF of you. Otherwise, I've seen your work around here and think you're a great asset to the encyclopedia. Take care Joe. - GS ⋙ ☎ 03:42, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

The pseudonim "Joe Roe": Why do you falsify the wikipedia data, and remove any corection placed by real historians? In your message to me you ask me not to correct the informations at the page mentioned above unless "I bring reliable sources" for it. Is wikipedia NOT a "reliable source", but a fake site? In this case, "fake informations" are best at home on this fake site. In case wikipedia is a RELIABLE SOURCE, and because following my correction I pointed out in very thorough details the RELIABLE SOURCES for it, including the very paragraph of the correction-title in question (paragraph title which says "Early period 4800-4000 BC", while the paragraph itself describe this Early period as the period between 6500-5000 BC), you puting back the WRONG information of "4800-4000 BC" at a paragraph talking about a totally OTHER/older period, proves that you premeditate falsify the info in wikipedia and keep it wrong/false, pretending that it's "right"😉, while your own paragraph there proves you WRONG. Can't you read your own page??? (or "the page you are protecting")?? I also added a link to the artefacts presented in the paragraph above, where the History professor at NY University confirms the same thing I say, you denying evrything, and insisting on mentaining the wrong information on wikipedia, NOT sustain there by ANYTHING*, not even by it's own text in it's own chapter/paragraph.
Despite this, you insist in keeping this unsustained and wrong data there, amd sistematically remove correct & sustained data placed by specialist, thus contradicting yourself in your message to me about "reliable sources are needed", like you contradict yourself at the above culture where the paragraph "Early history 4800-4000 BC" is contradicted by the text/content bellow of it's own paragraph.

Thanks for your kind words and the advice that you provided to me related to the doubts that I wanted to clarify about the redirects and page moves. You have made me cool and happy with your kindful efforts. Thanks a lot and happy editing.

Hi Joe,
Thank you for signing up our study to try out our recommender system! Right now, we are still waiting for more participants from other WikiProjects to sign up, so I will let you know when we are ready to provide you the recommendations (aiming at early January), and will let you know how to use it. Thank you! Bobo.03 (talk) 16:55, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
I saw that you created dab page Golden record and redirected Gold record there. I have no opinion on the dab, other than Gold Record seems like it should be treated consistently, unless the proper noun is really a distinct case? Additionally, there is also the existing dab page Golden Record. Finally, the existing links to Gold record need to be disambiguated after the changed redirect. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 11:58, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
Excuse me, but it was spelled "Kiev" since the article's very creation. Why change it? --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:14, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Joe. I was just checking out your user page, and noticed you recently created a page on Bagshaw Museum. I just thought I'd thank you for that, and mention out of interest that the Bagsahw Museum was the first museum I was ever permanently employed in, way back in 1981. I took up the post of Junior Assistant Curator there at Kirklees, before moving to Tolson Museum before then being asked to return to manage the place in 1985. I remember it was a very big day whenever a very elderly Violet Bagshaw honoured us with a visit in her chauffer-driven car to spent an hour or so having tea with us all! I seem to remember there was a very curious story about either Walter Bagshaw or his brother who had died, but then the train carrying their coffin to the cemetery was involved in an accident and derailment, with his naked corpse being found on the trackside. Very disturbing stuff.
On a completely different matter I would really welcome the advice of an admin on a matter that has been concerning me, so I thought of dropping you or Cullen a note. I've been worrying about a response I gave at the Teahouse today to a young user to this question. They are an Indian 9th Grade student (I assume c.14-15yrs old) who has used their real name as well as naming both parents and their school on their user page. I felt it was appropriate for me to break a few rules and immediately delete these personal details and have recommended they choose a completely different account name. Obviously these personal details still remain in their user page history, which is a worry should they decide to continue using it. I'm not yet familiar enough to be confident of the most appropriate way to guide a brand new user on such a delicate matter. I had thought about referring my concern to WP:ANI or WP:OS, but thought this could just be an over-reaction on my part. I don't want to leave a new user floundering with complex instructions, nor worry them unduly, either. I've done my best, but would welcome a second opinion on whether anything further needs to be done to protect this user. Any help would be appreciated (and useful for me to know too).

Given the highly controversial nature of this RfC and its interpretation, as you may know if you are involved in school AfDs, I am asking you to reopen these discussions or close them as no consensus. You cannot discount opinions on this sort of basis. If not, I shall take them to DRV. Thank you. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:27, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Joe,
I submitted Becca Peixotto for review. If its possible for you to review and move the draft to new article status, I can start working on another underground astronaut.

Hi Joe,
If you have time to take a look at the Hannah Morris draft and move it to new article, I would appreciate it.
There is another Hannah Morris listed on Wikipedia, so I was not sure how to list Hannah's name in the infobox.
A quick question: I would like to use the same paragraph I put together about the Rising Star experience for each of these women. I know I am not supposed to cut and paste, but the paragraph is my own words, a combination of facts and cited quotes. Can I do that?
I have been changing the paragraph slightly for each astronaut, but I am not sure if that is even necessary or if I should be writing a completely different paragraph for each scientist.
thanks Maura

Thanks Joe,
I assumed all six women were notable because they were on the Women in Red List. I will check the candidates more carefully in the future.

Dear Joe, Thank you for your feedback. I am trying to improve it following your instructions. I have also one request. I made a page by mistake which has to be deleted. Can you please do it as an admin?
This is the page to be removed: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Alireza_Mashaghi&redirect=no
Thank you. Plectoneme (talk) 07:29, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of stories set in a future now past – While there were a larger number of Keep !votes, the majority of them were WP:ILIKEIT or simply asserted GNG satisfaction without providing evidence. I believe the Delete !votes had the stronger policy argument, based on WP:LISTN and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. James (talk/contribs) 19:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Joe,
I submitted the Marina Elliott draft for approval yesterday and got a message this morning. Comment: I can't approve because it exists as a redirect. Sorry Eddie891 Talk Work 14:56, 16 December 2017 (UTC)"
I am not sure if an admin like yourself needs to do something with my draft or I should just wait and the draft will eventually get moved to article.
Also, given your advice about notability, I won't be creating an article for L. Eaves-Hunter.
Is it ok to remove the underground astronauts from the Red List? The list is all blue now except for Eaves-Hunter.

Instead of deleting the article, wouldn't it have been better if you had reverted it back to my drafts and given me time to modify it? Request you to please give the content in my draft or tell me where would i get the content back.~ ScitDeiWanna talk? 04:37, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Joe. I am contacting you because you closed WP:Articles for deletion/Peter Hood Ballantine Cumming. I believe you made an error by closing with no consensus. By my count there were 7 votes to delete, 3 to keep, and 1 to merge or keep. The arguments to keep were also very weak with one editor opining that "New York Times obituary is a defacto mark of notability" (something clearly not based in policy). I believe the clear consensus was delete, please explain your reasoning. Thank you.--Rusf10 (talk) 14:33, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Joe - I'm contacting you regarding the deletion of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Article_(company). All but one "Delete" arguments appeared grounded in emotional assertions of breach of policy without citing any supporting evidence. They generally asserted lack of notability and lack of independence of sources, but only one (the most recent by HighKing) involved real critical analysis of the article. In response to HighKing's latest argument, I believe the point regarding independence of sources was well supported with respect to the particular example cited. This example, however, was then extended to all remaining sources without similar rigor. The final argument in the response, regarding lack of notability, was similar to the rest, and lacked an objective argument and any supporting evidence other than opinion. The "Keep" arguments seemed, on the other hand, well-developed. Granted - they may have also been flawed, but other than the single example cited above, they were not proven inadequate, and remain mostly intact. I ask that you restore the article and suggest addition of: additional sources to improve the article content, and establishment of lack of notability with evidence. Given the significance of the company in the Canadian technology scene (E&Y emerging tech company of 2017, Macleans' next billion dollar company in Canada, etc.) it seems possible that a diligent attempt to establish lack of notability will in fact support of the opposite.68.148.116.80 (talk) 18:37, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Joe,
I had planned on creating a biography on archaeologist Sharon Stocker this month, and realized that no article had been written on the Griffin Warrior Tomb, the 2015 archaeological discovery and excavation that was led by Stocker and Jack L. Davis. I decided to write the article myself, my biggest undertaking to date.
I am hoping you get a chance to review both new articles. The writing is definitely a challenge for me being a non-writer by profession. I am always happy to get input that will help improve my contributions to WikiProject Women in Red.

Hi Joe. I certainly wouldn't accuse you of stoking up drama, but as we both know, a lot of other people can't resist commenting anywhere whenever they get a chance. It's a known Internet forum malady. That said, there's very little chance that ST will ever be back. At least not in any recognisable form and certainly not with with extended rights.

Hi Joe Roe, thanks for all your advice to improve the article on Constant Cornelis Huijsmans. However, the pop-up message that there is an issue with the site concerning inline quotations and sections keeps appearing on my PC, though not on the Ipad. Is there anything I can do about that? Another question I have is the following. In the article on Van Gogh (section: Life, Early years) Huijsmans is mentioned (spelt here as Constantijn C. Huysmans). This site has unfortunately been vandalized and as a result, quite understably, the article is locked. So I have not been able to correct the name of Constant Cornelis Huijsmans in this section. Is there anything I can do about this? I initially asked this question on my own "talk page", but later saw that it would be better to ask a question on your talk page. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my asking the same question twice. Best regards, Hanengerda (talk) 11:48, 30 December 2017 (UTC).
