Hello

Hi, Sue. This is Rory Litwin. I've been noticing some of your contributions lately. I also saw your message to ARLIS-L today. I think you're doing good work. Rlitwin 00:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Cildo Meireles

Thank you. Then I can't help thinking he should have an article. That way we all learn from the encyclopedia. Perhaps you'd like to get together the basic information to start it....Pliny 19:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I planned to add something, but I have a huge list of people I want to work on and hadn't got to it yet. --Sue Maberry 22:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Artist's Books

Thanks for your message regarding the Artists' Books page and also many thanks for your edits to the page. I have been occasionally checking the entry for a while now, meaning to add to it and your user page statement in part inspired me to actually register as a wikipedian! -Emily Artinian 07:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Bas Jan Ader

Hey, if you're a librarian at a school Ader attended, perhaps you can track down some info in the bit about David Horvitz taking photos and film of "Ocean Wave" in Spain--that's what I was looking for when I ran across the new books on Ader. It seems credible, based on what little I can find about Horvitz, but I don't really have the resources to be able to say more than that. My main interest in Ader comes from the fact that I own a Guppy 13 sailboat--there were only about 300 built in 1974-5, so it's by no means a common boat. If the photos allegedly taken by Horvitz do exist, I would be very interested in seeing them, if they've been published. scot 14:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Arlene Raven

Sue, Honestly I'd never met Her, but I did read of her passing and thought she needed an article. Actually, to be perfectly honest, I'm not really artistic..at least not the way she was. Not too long ago I took an art history class for fun -- really more like a history of graphic design as it turned out. I guess I've become more interested in art because of the class...

I'm glad you appreciate the article... Unfortunately, lately I've been really busy and hardly contribute. This weekend is actually my wedding, so there's the busy-ness ;-)

Good luck with your daughters (read on your page). I have a four month old myself. Lots of work, but we love it :)

Rosemary Brantley has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

Bas Jan Ader

The article on Bas Jan Ader has received a lot of new content recently, much of which is uncited. I figured you're probably in a good position to be able to at least refute any blantantly false statements, and perhaps point to some good references. scot 17:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Lili Lakich

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Lili Lakich, by Addd wiki (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Lili Lakich seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Lili Lakich, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I've done some work finding sources for Lili Lakich and hopefully it should no longer be a target for deletion. Good luck with the article! Skomorokh ^incite 12:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

How to Modify the font in MistyLook theme

Hi Sue, you left a question for me regarding this mediawiki theme. Your programmer should know that font styles are kept in the CSS files, in this case "main.css". To find the section that you want to modify, install the Web Developer extension for Firefox, then find the name for the element by choosing Outline -> Outline Current Element. Good luck to you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Otiscollege.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Otiscollege.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 14:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Maberry! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Khoi Vinh - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Annetta Kapon - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. Jerri Allyn - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:03, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Meg Linton

The article Meg Linton has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Claritas (talk) 16:17, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Sheila Levrant de Bretteville

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. Also, please note that we do not add religious categories unless religion is relevant to at least one of the subject's notable activities and an essential part of that activity. See Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality for details. Yworo (talk) 06:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Joyce Kozloff

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Joyce Kozloff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for starting to clean up this article! It seems like a rather herculean task. It would be nice if most of the timeline could be converted into prose (or perhaps spun-off into a separate timeline article). What are your thoughts on it? Kaldari (talk) 18:47, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Resonse to query

Hi Sue,

You had posted a "who are you" query earlier this month on my user page and I finally saw it today. I wrote a brief profile on my page but wanted to introduce myself here, too. My name is Shannon Lieberman and I'm a graduate student in art history. I've been contributing to Wikipedia a lot lately since I'm preparing for my major examination and when I need a break from reading but still want to use my time well, I try to contribute anything I can to art history pages, and specifically to pages related to feminist art. I don't know that you will remember this, but we were introduced very briefly on the second day of the Still Doin' It Symposium at Otis (right before the artist presentations started--I was sitting with Sorma, and I think also with your daughters, whom I had just sat down next to by chance). I just wanted to say hello and to thank you for all the excellent work you've done on Wikipedia (as well as, of course, at Otis). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthistorygrrl (talk • contribs) 23:09, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Woman's Building & external links

Hi Maberry. I have removed your addition of external links to the Woman's Building article body for the 5th time. I stated in my edit history why and tried to avoid bringing it up on your talk page, but, perhaps that is one reason why they keep being readded - my failure to inform you of external link's and their placement on Wikipedia. External links should not normally be placed in the body of the article like you keep doing. Please take a look at this page: Wikipedia:ELPOINTS#Important_points_to_remember to learn more about the use of external links in Wikipedia. I appreciate your good faith edits, and I do hope that you understand why I keep reverting them. I do hope you understand this request after taking a look at the link above, as I'd hate to have an edit war erupt from this simple issue. Thank you!

Speedy deletion nomination of May Sun

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on May Sun requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Uberaccount (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of May Sun for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article May Sun is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Joyce Kozloff

Actually, I agree about the worthiness of Joyce Kozloff's article, it's just that in it's current state it fails Wikipedia guidelines. I saw that you've worked on other notable women from the Feminist art movement in the United States and I would be happy to work with you.

I've noticed that if I start a major re-write of a living person there is often a back-lash for the re-write. I wouldn't mind doing the re-write on my own... but right now I'm working on Mary Beth Edelson, rewrite-expansion of Feminist art movement in the United States and Template:Feminist art movement in the United States.

If you'd like to help, my proposition is to:

• remove all the text that is a copy-paste from her website
• add content from reliable secondary sources.

It would also be huge if we could get photographs/images of the artwork from women from this time period. I am dismayed and astounded that there is nothing on commons that I could find, except for the one I posted on Feminist art movement in the United States.

Stop by anytime 11am-6pm with your laptop computer + power adapter, and any reference materials you'd like to work from or share; we've also prepared reference files on about 40 artists, curators, and organizations that you can work from, if you don't already have an article in mind. I will be leading orientations every hour on the hour, so new users might prefer to arrive then. For those of you who are experienced Wikipedia editors and have indicated you are able to help, please introduce yourself as an editor when you check-in. We'll be distributing badges so that new users can identify you and ask for help as needed. Thanks & see you soon! StaceyEOB (talk) 15:18, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Invitation

Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a discussion at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.

Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy,[1] I am looking for women editors who might like to join.

Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather (talk) 22:54, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Second, there will be an event at the Redondo Beach Public Library (following up on last month's session), in collaboration with the Redondo Beach Historical Society.

Sourcing and COI questions

Why are you removing an established source like Anne Ross to substitute a brand new book that others who are working on the article have not likely read? Do you have any connection to this book? I see in your sandbox you are working on an article about the author. If you have a connection please read WP:COI and use accurate edit summaries. If the book sources content in the article, or adds something new and well-substantiated, incorporate it as an inline source. Otherwise it give the impression of possible linkspam. If you want to add this, do not edit war, please discuss it on the talk page of the Sheela na Gig article. Thanks. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 22:22, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

I made a mistake removing the one because of formatting issues. However, there is no reason to remove the Goode book. It is filled with a huge number of high quality photos of sheelas worldwide, is new, and deserves to be included.--Sue Maberry (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of George Maitland Stanley

The article George Maitland Stanley has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable person who appears in only one source, and even then only mentioned in one paragraph

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ToThAc (talk) 18:15, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Fine to delete. I only added it because I didn't know how to create an Disambuguation Page. He has an article called George Stanley (sculptor). I just didn't find it when I searched because there is another George Stanley. How can I make a Disambuguation Page?

Help with notable persons - Specifically Donna Axton

Donna Axton, wife of Hoyt Axton and mother of William is a notable person, active in her community, and the face as rhythm lead as a pianist for some 20 of Hoyt's albums. She also teaches at SIerra Nevada College. I would like to build a page for her. I see that you are part Women Artists Wikiproject. I feel like her strange non-visibility in connection with Hoyt is a good example of the way women artists have a difficult time being listed in Wikipedia.

Disambiguation link notification for May 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Luchita Hurtado, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Christopher Knight and Made in L.A. (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:26, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

the Woman's Building

Thanks for your note re "the Woman's Building". I didn't add the links but found (and tried to fix) disambiguation links to Women's Building on Karen Boccalero, Leslie Labowitz-Starus and Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez. All of these appeared to be in Los Angeles therefore I changed the links to Woman's Building (Los Angeles). Perhaps you could change the links to the right one as I'm now not sure where they should point to. Thanks.— Rod ^talk 16:33, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks. It's a problem all over the place.

Following up on a recent edit of yours, I just moved "The Women's Building (Chicago)" to "The Woman's Building (Chicago)." Eventually we shall get it all right. Carptrash (talk) 17:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Dear Maberry, You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own.

File permission problem with File:Otis Bivouac.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Otis Bivouac.jpg, which you've attributed to Otis College of Art and Design Archives. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
