WP:US20

I've seen your contributions to Wikipedia:50KDE ↗. You should join wp:US20 ↗, an America-specific improvement challenge. Roast (talk) 03:57, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

:@Guerreroast: I knew about the women's subsection but did't know the American project existed. My updates are random articles I come across, but are usually U.S. related. I assume articles can be included on both lists? Also, can I add retrospectively to this list? If so, how far back (maybe March)? Rublamb (talk) 17:15, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
::Yes, you can retroactively add articles, and you can go as far back as the project's beginning (~November 2016). You can add entries to both lists Roast (talk) 17:21, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Great. Will do ASAP. Rublamb (talk) 18:10, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

Savile Club

Thanks for your work on sourcing and organising the notable members section. I've created a draft at Draft:List of Savile Club members ↗ with a view to splitting the membership list out per WP:SPLITLIST ↗: the section here would be trimmed to the twenty or so most widely known members, with the comprehensive list living on the standalone page. If you think this is worthwhile, please do review/approve the draft and we can migrate the content across. SaffronElectic (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

:It is worthwhile, but not until there are more sources. My process is usually to get the notables list ready or closer to being ready before moving it to a stand alone article simply because there are those who will immediately flag an article for AfD if it does not meet the guidelines for an article. I also don't agree with creating a new article that is poorly sourced. As you have noticed, the notables list only had 2 or 3 sources and also lacked a source that would support notability for the list article. I started working on finding sources for the list, and I think I have found sources to support notability of a standalone list article, while also adding more names in the process. The club manual from 1868 to 1925 is in Google Books and will comfirm many more. Others may be confirmed in obituaries. However, any names that cannot be confirmed with a source need to be removed. If the list still has around 50 names after this process, then it will be ready to split off. 50 isn't a rule in MOS, just a general guideline created by several WikiProjects that I work with. Rublamb (talk) 07:34, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
::Just realized that you created your draft prior to my work. That is a shame as merging the lists will be a bit of a pain. The big difference is that I organized using the "normal" heading for notables, have expanded the list quite a bit, and added sources. Of course, your list has notability included. When splitting off to a list article, you don't usually create a draft. For copyright purposes, the typical process if to move the content to its new page and save, crediting the original article. Then, remove the content from the original article and acknowledging the move in to the new article. Once copyright is addressed, you can expanded the lead and add new content to the new article. A draft is not needed because the text already exists--and was created by others (or yourself). Does that make sense? It migth make sens continue adding sources in the current article, then overwrite the draft. Need to think on it a bit. Is it more a pain to move sources and fix the sections again, or to add the notability again? Hmmm. Rublamb (talk) 07:48, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
:::What's annoying is that I have in front of me the transcribed database of all members which is drawn from the member books in the Savile Club in their archive, but is not publicly available (it might be on request to the club). The indexes in all the histories covers most members to about 1950 or so, I can reference each and every one from those books? SaffronElectic (talk) 08:41, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
::::With organizations, we usually don't use member-only sources for reasons of privacy (especially for living people). So books are fine, but the non-public transcribed database would not be. Of course, not-club sources are better, which is why I always start there. Rublamb (talk) 09:08, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::Allow me some time, I can reference 90% of those through the four history books that are mostly available, plus the ODNB from Harding. SaffronElectic (talk) 09:57, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::I started sourcing with the first book last night (in the existing article) Rublamb (talk) 18:11, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
