Afro-American Association
[edit]I noticed that you are working on a draft about this group. About a year and a half ago, I started researching this topic and even purchased several books. I have since retired and moved to a much smaller house and my books are all packed in many cardboard boxes. Perhaps some of the references I found might be of use to you. User:Cullen328/sandbox/AAA.

Suggestions/help with Oakland Black Cowboy Association article
[edit]I'm in awe of all your work, especially with your focus on underserved communities and the Bay Area. Awhile back I started a page for the Oakland Black Cowboy Association and it got a notability tag. I've added some more information and sources. Do you think it meets notability standards now, and/or do you have any suggestions? Thanks! EponineBunnyKickQueen (talk) 20:28, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Britta,
I was having some trouble with refercing, two of my articles were declined of lack of references. To be honest, I'm not sure that I got how to do it right.
Thank you for your help! --LeaLuk (talk) 13:19, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @LeaLuk I noticed that your question to your mentor, Dreamyshade, hasn't yet been answered. Maybe they're away on holiday, so I thought I'd drop by and try to help. Unfortunately, no, your references at Draft:Gianluca Del Gobbo need a lot more work. What follows will include hyperlinks to important guidance pages that you should read thoroughly in order to understand what to do:
- Firstly, does this person meet our essential Notability Criteria? You can find these clearly explained at WP:NBIO or, specifically for artists or one kind or another, at WP:NARTIST. These require the world at large to have taken note of and written about the person. We exclude everything they have written about themselves, because self-promotion is not permitted here. So, you will need references to books, magazines, news media or organisational websites which talk independently, and in details and in depth about that person, not taken from website they have created themselves, or been interviewed in. If you can't find those online or offline sources, then your quest to create a Wikipedia articles ends there. Without those sources, we won't permit any article about someone here, I'm afraid.
- Assuming you have those sources, you should insert them 'inline' using the Cite button in the editing tool you are using, and place it immediately after the statement you want to support with that citation. So, go to Help:Introduction and click either of the two 'References' buttons to follow the guidance pages for the editing tool you are using. (Personally, I'd suggest WP:Source Editor (not Visual Editor) for adding references. But either will work roughly the same way. None of your references should be in the 'External links' section at all. But, to be honest, I doubt he would meet our nobility criteria, judging by some of the sources you have tried to give thus far.
- Finally, should you be, know, or connected to Gianluca Del Gobbo, then you would have what we call a Conflict of Interest. Follow WP:COI to learn how to declare any such connection on your userpage before continuing to edit the article. Hope this helps, Nick Moyes (talk) 20:08, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

:Re DeMéxicoConAmor Tattoo
[edit]Hi @Dreamyshade:, sure I can explain my edits, sorry for not using the summary, in my future edits I will be more careful with that. I reduced the size of most of the images because they were real big and aesthetically looked bad with the text at the sides, I added a little video I uploaded myself to illustrate the use of gloves during the procedure of the making of a tattoo, I also changed the image in the "health risks" section to another one that illustrated better this part, with an infected tattoo file, I took out the image of the owl tattoo since on the entry there were plenty of examples of tattoos, I also made some image alignment changes, I added a file on the "advertising and marketing" with the example of how tattoos have been used by mainstream media with one about the South Korean boy band, BTS, and also deleted some files that were making WP:SANDWICH.

In-person Wiki Meetups in the Fall?
[edit]Hi Dreamyshade, I saw that you have been involved in organizing past meetups in SF (thank you!). I attended a couple of WikiSalons and Wiki-a-thons around 2018. I am very much looking forward to attending more in-person ones. I wonder if you have any insights for what to expect in the coming months. Any chance that WikiSalons at the WMF offices could resume soon? Thank you. Al83tito (talk) 02:01, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Question from DeannaBeanna on Julia Richman Education Complex (22:11, 12 July 2022)

I understand that at that time, it was competitive entry school comparable to private schools (similar to School of engineering). All 3 women received an excellent education. I think this should be reflected in your history. DLH --DeannaBeanna (talk) 22:11, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Tattoo History
[edit]Hello, i had seen that you had put together articles on tattoo history under User:Dreamyshade/Tattoo_history_project. i have posted the missing article on Bert Grimm. My English is not perfect, maybe you look over it again. I used to be a tattoo artist myself (1975-1988) and now deal with the subject as chairman of the Institute for German Tattoo History. Most US Conventions from 1976 (the first) to the mid-1980s I have visited and many of the tattoo greats still personally met, so in 1982 Bert Grimm. Therefore I can provide many photos. So if you ever have a question or need pictures, just get in touch..

Tattoo Kulture Magazine is a reputable source, so is Tattoo Today and also Westfälische Nachrichten is an independent daily newspaper.

Hi Britta,
I am working on an article currently that discusses MSU IQ, an Institute similar to Washington University's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology and MIT's Broad Institute. I work for IQ, but in a different capacity (related to our summer course series). How do I declare COI and what steps should I be taking to have this article approved?

If you're interested
[edit]I've been working on the article Self-harm, but then wound up on a detour from there to Cover-up tattoo, which previously misrepresented such tattoos as only being for covering other tattoos, omitting the very common application to scars and skin conditions. Juggling two rewrites is a bit much for me, so if you have any interest in handling the latter article, feel free to jump in! The line between dermatologic cover-ups and (para)medical tattoos is a bit blurry, but currently I'm drawing it at decorative versus flesh-like, with some cross-referencing for context. (Due to the other use case for cover-ups, I don't think they're mergeable.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 18:46, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

I got that to GA, so it's fun to say that 100% of article in that sub–topic area are GAs, but I'd like to write more... But have struggled to find ones that would be clear WP:NOPAGE passes with respect to the people who bear them. There's also some more general articles I'd like to get to, including Tribal tattoo (a name I dislike, but it's the COMMONNAME) and Tattoos and copyright. You can see my full(ish) list interspersed throughout User:Tamzin/content todo. I've also had fun with tattoos as illustrations. I wrangled a license for File:End Poem tattoo.jpg and then got it on the Main Page for a day. And whenever I get around to getting my D.C. flag tattoo, I'd like to put that on Flag of Washington, D.C. § Private use. (One image is on Commons but uh...)Anyways, as you say, it's such a neglected topic area, so if you'd like to collaborate on anything, let me know! I've found the scholarly sources are decent on some aspects of tattooing (or even amazing, as at Mike Tyson's tattoos § sources), which is refreshing, since the newsmedia sources are often trash. I really wish there were more coverage of tattoos qua tattoos—not as life events, not as body ornamentation, but as works of art. But sadly have't found much of that yet. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 17:19, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent! I'd be interested in collaborating on Tattoos and copyright at some point, since I also have an interest in copyright in general. I've mostly been working on the historical side, and I've appreciated that a few art historians study tattoos — I enjoyed Matt Lodder's work while working on Sailor tattoos. I have vague intentions toward working on American traditional at some point; there's a good amount of history article/book sources available. Dreamyshade (talk) 22:05, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Britta, are you able to offer advice on when it comes to citing eBooks where the page numbers may change depending on the reading user's screen settings? For example, a citation may change page numbers if the reader increases or decreases their window size. Is it better to just cite the chapter number in these cases, if a copy of the physical book is not available to the editor? --Comfycore (talk) 13:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

But that person didn't do much of an investigation, the reason why game8.co is all in English is because that is the global website, there is game8.co.jp the game8.jp that are the Japanese versions.

DYK for Cover-up tattoo
[edit]On 16 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cover-up tattoo, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that some cover-up tattoos incorporate scars into their designs (example pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cover-up tattoo. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Cover-up tattoo), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

New user mentoring
[edit]Hi, I recently enabled Special:Homepage for myself understanding that the audience is intended for newer editors, just to see what it looks like. I was assigned you as my mentor, and prompted to ask you a question. I can see on this talk page that some others have tried to do that, but none have been answered. Would you appreciate help responding, or would you consider pausing mentorship so that more questions don't go unanswered? Thanks, --Habst (talk) 19:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! I've answered most of the questions I've been asked, but I've been responding to people on their talk pages rather than responding here. Dreamyshade (talk) 21:10, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Dreamyshade, d'oh, my mistake, I should have thought about that. Thank you for adding {{Usertalkback}} so it's more clear, but I'll be sure to check for that in the future. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, I appreciate that you're looking out for the new folks, and it brings up an interesting question for me about whether I should try replying here next time I get a newcomer question. I don't think fragmenting conversations is ideal, but I've figured that conversations on their own talk pages are easier for them to monitor. Maybe that's an outdated concept now that Wikipedia has a decent notifications system! Dreamyshade (talk) 23:09, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm reaching out to seek your guidance regarding a recent edit dispute I've encountered here. I recently added content to an article based on thoroughly researched and verifiable sources, in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines. However, another editor has contested the validity of the information, claiming it reflects personal analysis rather than sourced content.
Despite my efforts to clarify the basis of the edit and the adherence to Wikipedia's norms, the disagreement persists, he won’t stop reverting.
I would greatly appreciate your insight on how to navigate this situation. Specifically, I'd like guidance on how to address the issue effectively while upholding Wikipedia's standards of neutrality and accuracy.
Thank you for your time and assistance. --Mynvynvyn (talk) 19:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
