Invitation to WikiProject Women in Red

Hello Ali Beary! Thank you for your contributions to articles related to women. I would like to invite you to WikiProject Women in Red, a WikiProject focused on creating entries for women's biographies and related topics and assisting contributors who run into difficulties. If you wish to participate, you can sign up under "New registrations", or feel free to ask for assistance on our talk page any time. Thanks again for your contributions! asilvering (talk) 18:48, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ali, sorry your first-article experience was rough. I closed the AfD as a redirect, so your work is still there, just hidden (see [1]), and if you end up finding more sources some day, you can spin it back out into a separate article again. I can't answer your question about the redlink beyond "sometimes, people put them places where they shouldn't", I'm afraid. I really recommend that you join WiR - many, many editors there have had similarly disappointing first experiences, and they're there to help. There's sure to be someone you're interested in who is notable and doesn't have an article yet, and they have lots of redlists to help you find one. Good luck! -- asilvering (talk) 18:55, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

George Washington edit - please read

Your edit to George Washington is throwing a Harv error. Please correct it and ADD the Hamilton book. The Randall/Hamilton is still not listed correctly in the cited sources for this article, I assume because you've included "ref=none".
I don't know if you have this script installed but if Harv error isn't ringing a bell for you, go to User:Ucucha/HarvErrors and consider following the instructions there to install that script - User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js on your common.js page. - Shearonink (talk) 19:23, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Went ahead and fixed it myself. Hope that's alright. - Shearonink (talk) 21:11, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
