Talk:Katherine Siva Saubel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Comments from editor Leighpod: I believe I have fixed the notability issue -- re the citations listed below as well as the information in the introduction as instructed. What else do I need to do? Please help! This is a VERY noteworthy woman -- and WIKIPEDIA has NOTHING on her!!! She is listed online in Britannica and in very many other sources as you can see by my citations below. I have tried to comply with Wiki standards, but must confess -- they are very confusing and I find them them very very difficult to follow -- espeically regarding the embedded links, use of the sandbox, etc. etc -- If this article cannot stand as is -- fine -- then let one of your other "editors" have at it -- or, please, have some one replay to me in PLAIN ENGLISH!! But I cannot follow all your symbols and issues --- and PLEASE PLEASE do not IGNORE this woman -- she is about to be anmed ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL 100 PEOPLE IN THE US FOR PRESERVATION OF LANGUAGE BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE!!!!

I added some comments on your talk page. Feel free to contact me if you wish for help writing this article, but it must be trimmed down to start with. Further, by your own admission, you don't understand wikipedia's standards and you find them confusing. It would be best to learn them before trying to write an entire article. I'd be happy to supply you with some links to get you started. ++Arx Fortis (talk) 00:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

OK Leigh, I have referred your article to the Wikipedia ICU. Please be aware that all editors are volunteers. An article of this size, with as many issues as are presented, may take some time to fix. I would recommend that you trim it down significantly. It will be much more likely to receive needed attention if it isn't so gargantuan. ++Arx Fortis (talk) 00:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

This article was placed in the Wikipedia Intensive Care Unit. One or more editors felt that the subject was notable, but the article itself had major issues that might otherwise result in deletion. The ICU staff worked to fix those issues, then discharged the article from the ICU. If you would like to help with articles under similar circumstances, consider joining the ICU staff.

I made a number of edits. I don't think it is all that bad now. Sympathetic to the subject but not OTT. I doubt if there is much sourced material that is critical of the subject, but obviously if there is it can also be added. Perhaps some of the less notable honours need to be trimmed. It needs clarifying when the subject was admitted to the Women's Hall of Fame - is this two separate events or one? Itsmejudith (talk) 23:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Per Leighpod's mention on my talk page. She was inducted into the Women's Hall of fame in 1993. ++Arx Fortis (talk) 06:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

OK Found it. Thanks. I will be able to communicate now more effectively. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighpod (talk • contribs) 17:36, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
