Hey, My article got declined (Draft:Sutherland Shire Libraries) and the person asked me to remove some of the references????? I tried hard to put in news reports etc. Not sure where to go from here. --122.108.141.214 (talk) 09:12, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

DoctorWho42 has given you a Toast sandwich!Bread, toast, and bread promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Toast sandwiches are wonderfully delicious! They are made by putting a thin slice of toast between two thin slices of bread with a layer of butter, and adding salt and pepper to taste. Its origins can be traced to the Victorian years. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a toast sandwich, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.
Spread the goodness of toast sandwiches by adding {{subst:Toast sandwich for you}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

Hello, Susan. Hope you are well. You may be aware that Wasabi,the,one nominated this article for GA in October last year and it's been sat there ever since. I've reviewed it today and placed it on hold because I'd like the introduction to be expanded. Since doing that, I've noticed that Wasabi hasn't used the site for several weeks and, if he doesn't return, the article will have to be failed. That would be a pity because it's nearly there. As you have been the main contributor, would you be okay keeping an eye on the GA review and picking up the points raised? I suppose you should give Wasabi a week, maybe. I've diarised the GA for end of July and will not close it before then. Thanks very much and all the best. Jack | talk page 20:21, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
I've taken a snoop at your track record here, so I'm wondering if you'd be interested in trying out for adminship? I think you have the experience and temperament to be a mop-operator. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:15, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
I seem to recall I asked this question some time back. My concern is that I don't think MLG actually needs the administrative toolset for anything much, and people tend to pick up on that and vote accordingly. I personally can't see any reason that she shouldn't have the tools as I think the odds of her abusing them are about zero, but there are a fair number of people on RfA (who spend most of their time reverting vandalism) who think otherwise. You've participated in lots of AfD debates; even ones where things didn't go your way like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shawna Pandya, you made a good argument and tried to improve the article so nobody else would vote to delete it. Other than that, I don't see any other evidence of contributing in the usual admin-y areas like protection requests, intervention against vandalism or ANI, and RfA voters like to see evidence in those areas.
So, to cut a long story short, I'd probably !vote support if you ran for RfA but I'm not sure you'd be successful.
Having said all of that, I recall feeling the same about Ealdgyth about six months ago and she got one of the highest RfA scores of all time, and part of that is one admin activity that you might be interested in is editing the Main Page and its related templates, something that The Rambling Man did day in, day out until he was desysopped. I also think you'd be pretty good at dispute resolution, getting people to calm down and talk things over. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:55, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
Don't mean to be doing the old "please can you do something I can't be bothered to", but I rescued this from CSD yesterday and tidied it up - any chance you could take a look and add some more sources if they exist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ritchie333 (talk • contribs) 14:40, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thanks for providing the references in the AFD this morning[1],
if I'm honest I was actually going to give up with it however in a roundabout way you gave me a kick up the backside to get it sourced :), |
Davey2010 I am so glad to help. Please don't hesitate to call on me to find references in the future. As a librarian, I really enjoy finding sources. Thank you so much for the barnstar! :D Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

The article YoMeryl has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Stub article with lack of coverage and resources; fails WP:CORP.
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. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:48, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

You've done it again with Stacey Kammerman. I couldn't have rescued that. I think I could give you "Sophie Nobody is a Youtuber in Podunk, Iowa" and you could get it to DYK. Article saving beyond the call of duty - utterly brilliant. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:30, 13 July 2017 (UTC) |

Thanks, Megalibrarygirl, for being so good with research (well, you are a librarian) and so nice with newcomers (you are so good with AGF). I want you to know how much all this is appreciated by the wiki community. Rosiestep (talk) 17:39, 15 July 2017 (UTC) |
Please temper your accusations of non-observance of WP:Good faith as you do here [3] and here [4] and here [5]. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:51, 20 June 2017 (UTC).
(talk page stalker)I'm finding this to be a troubling discussion, as Megalibrarygirl (may I call you MLG for short?) has traditionally been one of the best-faith, most even-tempered editors I have worked with. (Definitely more even-tempered than I am!). Just because someone disagrees and defends their position does not mean that in any way they have a problem with their motives, and to tell others who are attributing motive that they should AGF is a simple and appropriate reminder to focus on content, not contributor. I see nothing negative in MLG's comments in the links above. In fact, it feels a lot like poisoning the well; the links themselves are not particularly inflammatory and they are taken out of context to boot. Montanabw(talk) 23:09, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Upthread, we've talked about article rescue and improvement, and other people have talked about adminship. I have an idea that can combine the two. Click here to get a list of all articles currently tagged for speedy deletion. If you can see a biography article that might show promise, click on it, and if a quick search for sources turns up something positive (asDorothy D. Houghton did the other day, and Kimberlee Weatherall some time back), remove the {{db-person}}
tag from the top, then add the references.
I started doing this around 2013 and have a log at User:Ritchie333/saves that I use to track overturned speedies and AfDs, particularly if I took them to DYK or GA afterwards. After about 18 months of doing this, I was drafted into adminship, and the "save" log went down very well with everybody; probably better than the typical Twinkle CSD log that most admin candidates are armed with. It's more of an anti-CSD log if anything.
If you do that, not only will you be giving service beyond the call of duty by rescuing articles that deserve to be read, you will also have an easily accessible log that will be a very good source to having a successful RfA.
How does all that sound? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:38, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
I noticed you're looking for feedback at ORCP. I have nothing to add there, because I have no idea how an RfA would go for you, I but I would like you to know that if you decide to run, I'd be happy to support you. All the best, Mduvekot (talk) 22:57, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Megalibrarygirl, There is a new WikiProject YouTube starting and I'm wondering if you might write another Signpost article about this one? So far, Jamesjpk was beginning to interview members, but that was cancelled because of COI (WP member interviewing fellow members). Cheers! — JoeHebda • (talk) 13:41, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the update Megalibrarygirl. Don't know if this is of any help for the article but I did find the Portal:Comics which has "lotsa stuff" and the article on Stan Lee and List of Marvel Comics characters. Regards, — JoeHebda • (talk) 18:24, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Note, you don't have to do a bunch of new page patrol if you don't want to. But if you do, be very careful with CSD criteria, as errors there will be used heavily against you in an RfA (see my poll). I think you are pretty good right now, all I was suggesting is that in your RfA that you carefully frame what your need for the tools is. Cheers and good luck! — InsertCleverPhraseHere 23:36, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello!! I have a notability question, and hoped maybe you'd be able to help. How do you know if the CEO/President of a company is notable enough to have their own article? This man has a bunch of news articles and etc. come up, but they mostly seem to be about his company. Does this mean that only the company should get an article, and not him separately? He has done some significant things that I think would pass notability, but did so because he is CEO...so I guess I'm just not sure whether that means he should get his own article or if he should just be mentioned in the company article. Hope this wasn't too confusingly worded! Any feedback/advice would be super helpful. :) Rtt11talk 04:15, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm baffled by the number of merge votes. Quite disappointing and frustrating, seeing this play out in similar ways for most anti-Trump articles. If you can think of any other ways to help establish notability and avoid having to reverse a merge at a later date, I'm all ears. I didn't think this one would be such an uphill battle. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:28, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Megalibrarygirl.. I checked the URL you provided for the content you added regarding the subsequent silent parade in Newark, NJ.. https://muse.jhu.edu/book/49201 .. I don't see the Newark parade mentioned on that page..
When I do a 'search inside this book' for the phrase 'silent parade', only one link comes up: https://muse.jhu.edu/chapter/1907403
There is no reference on this page either to the Newark silent parade.
I'm not trying to be an @$$ but this link does not appear to pass verification.
Am I missing something?
Thanks..

I have just created two articles, Maren Michelet (the first teacher of Norwegian in any public high school in the United States and promoter of Scandinavian culture) (many links provided by SusunW) and Lillie Rose Ernst (he leader of The Potters, an artistic group in early XX century St. Louis and one of the first 12 woment to graduate at Washington University in St. Louis).
