Charlotte Waring Atkinson

James, I note that you made some edits to the "Charlotte Waring Atkinson" wikipage in 2019 regarding some auction results for her work. Some of the text on this page, specifically a quote from an auction catalog, is unreferenced. I've been attempting to cleanup Australian literature pages where a "citation" is required but have been unable to find the auction catalog that is mentioned in this page. Are you able to help?

It may look like I've deleted the text but I have merely made it "invisible" for display purposes. Many thanks. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 00:01, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Perry Middlemiss,

The auction house site from which I got the information no longer has that listing and the only trace is at a site declared 'unreliable' by Wikipedia, which I suspect is merely a copy of the WP entry anyway https://alchetron.com/Charlotte-Barton so best leave that out until I can find a proper reference. Jamesmcardle (talk) 08:43, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Yes, the "alchetron" site seems like a copy of the Wikipedia page. As I noted the text is still there so it can stay hidden until such time as a reliable reference is found. Cheers, and thanks for the reply. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 23:30, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Cover of the first LP 12 inch vinyl disc by The Red Onions Jazz Band, 1965.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Cover of the first LP 12 inch vinyl disc by The Red Onions Jazz Band, 1965.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:13, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

File:Cover of the first LP 12 inch vinyl disc by The Red Onions Jazz Band, 1965.jpg listed for discussion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Cover of the first LP 12 inch vinyl disc by The Red Onions Jazz Band, 1965.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 07:03, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Aspects, it seems the wording I used on the file (ten years ago, so it's odd that no-one has objected to it since) is what is problematic here. Do you have suggestions as to how I might make the rationale better expressed and fit for purpose? Note that the Red Onion Jazz Band no longer exists, neither does the record company, and the album is discontinued and extremely rare...I can locate no other copy than my own. The value of the cover is certainly to show the faces of the subjects and could be cropped to just their pictures, excluding the graphics—the photographer is unknown, while the designer is identified on the album.

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I noticed that you recently made an edit to The Red Onion Jazz Band in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Reverting a correction to formatting is not "correcting" anything. Infobox images are not supposed to be thumbnails.  Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 22:36, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Sumanuil, and yes I am usually conscientious in leaving edit descriptions and will continue to do so. The formatting of the infobox goes back to 2015 when I was less aware of how to construct them. I was trying to have the image shifted to Commons having got a letter from the designer of the LP cover...a frustrating and tedious process, hence the fumble with the revert. Cheers Jamesmcardle (talk) 00:17, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Florence Maude Warner, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. ^SMason_Garrison 19:55, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Smasongarrison, I see you've removed Category:People from South Dakota, adding Category:Businesspeople from South Dakota and replaced Category:American women inventors with Category:20th-century American women inventors. The latter I understand, so thank you, but as Warner was from South Dakota, and I verified that from her death notice Ref. #1, I'm not sure what you mean by writing to me. Neither category was incorrect. Jamesmcardle (talk) 22:12, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Did you look at all of the categories I removed? Because Category:American women scientists by century is not a category she should have been in. Nor should she have been in

Category:Partnerships, Category:Optical imaging, Category:Color filter array, Category:Motion picture film formats. ^SMason_Garrison 22:15, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

The article deals with details of an invention by partners in business (I see other such partnerships included in Category:Partnerships) of a form of colour photography, also developed for cinematography, so Category:Optical imaging, Category:Color filter array, Category:Motion picture film formats all are part of the content, and readers looking at those categories will find the article useful. Jamesmcardle (talk) 22:26, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

the Category:Partnerships refers to the article Partnership. Note that Florence Maude Warner was the business-partner of co-inventor John H. Powrie Jamesmcardle (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

Please don't split the conversation across pages. (User_talk:Smasongarrison#Florence_Maude_Warner_categories:_discussion). As I stated there and here, those are not DEFINING for her. Please review the categorization guidelines for people. Wikipedia does not use categories like tags.^SMason_Garrison 00:48, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, understood. Regards, Jamesmcardle (talk) 00:51, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

I don't mean to discourage you, but I do want to encourage you to take some time. I think you'd benefit from familiarizing yourself with a category's contents before adding it to a page. I've had to remove quite a few categories from Hawthorn_Teachers_College . Thanks ^SMason_Garrison 00:56, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

@Jamesmcardle Hi again, I've noticed similar issues with 1939 Herald Exhibition of French and British Contemporary Art. Please be more careful. Categories are not tags. ^SMason_Garrison 01:29, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

For example, you added [[:Category:1939 by month]]. This is a container category. ^SMason_Garrison 01:33, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
