Disambiguation link notification for October 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ina Gregory ↗, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages St Kilda ↗ and Victoria ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Margery Withers

Hi Kassigrace, I was looking at your article on Margery Withers ↗ and took the liberty of creating a cropped image from the PD image you uploaded.
thumb|Phyllis Bromby - Walter Withers' studio, Heidelberg (crop of Margery Withers) ↗
I am swapping it out on the page. If you prefer the full photo, swap it back. <br>
Also, are you aware of the Women in Red Project which seeks to address the gender gap on Wikipedia? (Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red ↗) We run an continuing global initiative to create articles on women in any area of interest at any time. After an article is created it can be added to the #1day1woman list ↗. By putting an article on that list it alerts like-minded editors of the article. Also a tag can be included on the talk page labeling the article as part of the project. I think you would enjoy being part of the project and community.

The World Destubathon ↗

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon ↗. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It commenced yesterday on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! Feel free to invite others who you think might want to contribute.♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 09:12, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Kassigrace. Thank you for your work on Dorothy Ellsmore Paul ↗. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol ↗ and left the following comment:

{{Bq|1=Thanks for this clear, well-written and appropriately referenced biography. I do not that you're using 'cite web' for Trove archives of magazines, but this leads to the rather misleading claim that she wrote 'The Australian Women's Mirror'. I suggest moving to template:cite magazine ↗, which has enough parameter to more clearly describe the citation.}}

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{code|<nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Klbrain<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}}. <small>(Message delivered via the Page Curation ↗ tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)</small>

About your recent article creations

Hey Kassigrace, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia! I was looking through your article creations to check on whether you could be nominated for the autopatrolled ↗ permission. I have indeed done that ↗, but I hope you don't mind if I share a couple of points of feedback I had while conducting my review. Primarily, I wanted to bring up phrases like "{{!xt|The selfless work and sacrifice{{nbsp}}...}}" (on Louie B. Riggall ↗) and "{{!xt|[they] were dedicated to their art}}" (on Helen Hambidge ↗), generally when describing the death or legacy of the article's subject. These statements cannot be made in Wikipedia's voice ↗ as that suggests the encyclopedia has opinions about its subjects, which is a violation of the neutral point of view ↗ policy. If a source has stated something to that effect, it can just be quoted or paraphrased with in-text attribution ↗ (which you did later in the Riggall article, for example). I also made a few Manual of Style ↗ adjustments, which you can see in the articles' edit histories, but these aren't as big of a deal. Apart from that, keep up the good work, and let me know if you have any questions! <span class="nowrap">—<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span></span> <small>(<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>)</small> 22:02, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you so much! This is very kind of you. And I appreciate the feedback. Kassigrace (talk) 22:24, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

right|80px ↗
Hi Kassigrace, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">added ↗</span> the autopatrolled user right ↗ to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed ↗. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested ↗ on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers ↗.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject ↗ templates, stub tags ↗, categories ↗, and incoming links ↗ to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies ↗, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller ↗ yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! <b style="color: teal; font-family: Tahoma">HJ Mitchell</b> | <span style="color: navy; font-family: Times New Roman" title="(Talk page)">Penny for your thoughts?</span> 23:27, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Haha! I thought to pursue the bleeding obvious yesterday: checked inside the cover of the physical DAuB for copyright notice. Not a smart move walking in from Civic with all the construction going on and signs both sides of the highway advising to "Use other footpath". Anyhow the potpie at Bookplate was delicious, and returned by bus so all was well.{{smilie}} Doug butler (talk) 01:18, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Minor edits

It's not a big issue, but just so you know. There is a specific meaning to marking edits as minor on Wikipedia. Help:Minor edit ↗ has the details. TL:DR – if you add or delete a word, it's not a minor edit (unless you are reverting vandalism).
