Tip of the Month:

  • Researching historical women writers who used pseudonyms requires careful investigation across multiple sources, as many women adopted pen names to avoid gender bias and judgment (e.g., being labeled a bluestocking) and, ultimately, to get published.

Citations

[edit]

Hi! I'm sorry regarding citations, I didn't know I had to for things like this. It's just that there was already a talk post made regarding the misfire, and I believe it was resolved, but someone still reverted it back to the original.

@Schlorpgorp, thanks for reaching out. I responded at Talk:Suicide of Ronnie McNutt explaining what exactly the "misfire" is referring to; it is not referring to the point at which McNutt killed himself, but an action that took place prior. Wracking talk! 03:42, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did read that. Thanks.

Wikiproject Cleanup Task

[edit]

Hi, I've just started to complete the task you posted on the Wikiproject Cleanup noticeboard around a week ago. Before I continue to fix the other pages you listed, could you please tell me if you approve of this edit I made on the "List of Japanese films of 2014" article? Thanks. Pierre Bon-Bon (talk) 11:45, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pierre Bon-Bon, thanks for reaching out and taking on this task! This looks great and fixes the biggest issue with that formatting. You might want to consider using {{dts}} on longer lists, and you can also abbreviate months to three letters (e.g., January --> Jan) if you'd like, but neither of those are absolutely necessary. Thanks again for your work. Best, Wracking talk! 00:06, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
