Women in Red
Hi there, Less Unless, and welcome to Women in Red. I'm glad to see you are working with the Wikipedia Adventure. It's an excellent way to start. As you gain experience and confidence, you'll soon be ready to create women's biographies yourself. In this connection, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:44, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- Ipigott Thank you for a warm welcome! I'll definitely take a look at the rules and I'm very excited to be able to contribute to your project! I'm thinking of taking part in the stub competition taking place at the moment. I'll definitely reach out in case something is unclear. So far I need some time to figure out the policies and all the editing tricks. Thank you!

Help me find a proper photo
Hello! I'm writing an article\stub for the first time as a part of Woman in red project. I want to find a picture of the woman - Adama Delphine Fawundu, that would not violate any copyright. There are plenty of photographs, but I have no clue on how to check the copyright. I've read the articles on Wiki on how to find such an image, but it's doesn't work somehow. Can someone please help me find a photo of her? Thank you!--Less Unless (talk) 23:01, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
Guidance on article creation
I don't know whether you understood about how to submit your draft in the sandbox. But one thing I saw that you have 300 edits to your credit and I think you can directly create article instead of draft submission. For further assistance see Help:Your first article. It will be helpful. You can try out searching an article title for which you are going to create in the search bar on the top of the page and click the red link for creation.For example see this. Suppose if you are unable to create then create the stuff that you want on your sandbox and then ping me I will try to help you there. Abishe (talk) 13:22, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hello,Abishe. I created one more article and submitted it for revision myself )) You offered me to create an article directly, but I wanted to understand the processes better and did it using draft. Here it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ursula_McCannell
I hope you can help me one more time revising it. Next time I will create a direct article. If you have some tips regarding the article I'd be very grateful. Thank you in advance.
- Dear Abishe, sorry again for the mess, the article was accepted. Less Unless (talk) 14:20, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Less Unless (talk) 11:33, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Less Unless:: I am happy and glad to see you are improving day by day. Yes, I can understand the issues that you confront at the moment and I can ponder about it on your behalf. There is no need to apologise because you are doing an exceptional work here and keep your good work forever. Well your article Ursula McCannell was accepted in the Articles for Creation which you had earlier submitted as a draft. They usually move the draft page to mainspace once your article gets approved. I think you will catch up things in 2-3 weeks. You can establish yourself as a proud prominent Wikipedian here and I can assure that. Abishe (talk) 15:22, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Pinehouse Photography Club Good morning! I really really appreciate your help with the page. As it is up for deletion, I really want to do whatever it takes to keep it. Wondering if you can help in anyway...change wording, add references I dunno Im new this is a huge learning curve for me. Thanks in advance :) --Dreerwin (talk) 15:25, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hello Dreerwin! I'm also new here and as a part of Wiki CleanUp project I was cleaning up the references. Don't worry, it's a normal process to check the notability - it's one of the pillars of Wikipedia. And I saw on the discussion page your article should be fine - there are more "keep" votes then delete. Good luck!--Less Unless (talk) 20:06, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Emeric Chantier, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Montreuil (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) 07:48, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Do NOT move a page whilst a RM discussion is ongoing. GiantSnowman 09:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- GiantSnowman ok. i thought if the change is obvious (and it is in this case) it's unnecessary to ungergo the whole process (at least it was stated in the policies). But good that you mentioned it as i've just joined the RM. So it doesn't matter if it's super obvious and uncontroversial - if it's posted for RM - it should be discussed first? right? WIll be grateful for you answer.--Less Unless (talk) 21:10, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- If an RM is started to discuss a move, the page should not be moved until the discussion has been closed by an uninvolved party. GiantSnowman 08:52, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you.--Less Unless (talk) 11:01, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hello, Less Unless
Thank you for creating Charlotte F. Muller.
User:Blythwood, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Looks good. Ideally it would be nice to have references at the end of each sentence, as it wasn't clear where the information in the 'Career' section came from–obviously right now it's not a problem as there's only one citation at the end of the paragraph, but if someone added extra citations it wouldn't be clear.
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Blythwood}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

- @Blythwood: Thank you for clearing this out. I thought after the section belonging to one source should be enough, but now I know better) Happy Holidays!Less Unless (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
