User talk:Queenofboston
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Queenofboston, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:European women's rights activists
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Category:European women's rights activists indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read!

There is currently a discussion at the current events noticeboard regarding a topic you may be interested in or an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is The Russo–Ukrainian crisis and World War III speculation. Mattplaysthedrums (talk) 06:54, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
#Brussels So White
[edit]I became wary that in "regrets about the absence of response or action from Brussels-based think-tanks" has a reference to Shada Islam, who works at a think-tank institute. Seeing that Islam has an interest in opinion forming, I left a neutrality dispute on the page. I hope the article can be improved upon.Tomaatje12 (talk) 22:02, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- I apologize for my ignorance but what is your contention? The fact the Islam comments on think-tanks should not be an issue, if a doctor comments on the medical profession, that makes sense right? Should I replace "Commentators" with "Brussels professionals"? to address this? or do you have another suggestion? Queenofboston (talk) 15:48, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- I don't see the parallel with the medical field. Think-tanks have political agendas. People working for think-tank institute are paid to change the opinion of our politicians. And that made me wary that the article might lean too much towards certain ideas. Tomaatje12 (talk) 21:50, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- The words are fine though. The sources are of political commentators and the article reflects that. Tomaatje12 (talk) 22:24, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Could you please point me to the Wikipedia policy that classifies think tanks as biased source of information? This comes as a surprise to me and I would like to adjust references going forward based on that policy. Queenofboston (talk) 05:18, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Neutral point of view, section opinionated sources Tomaatje12 (talk) 08:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- This section on opinionated sources does not contain any mention of think tanks. It does not provide any basis for your view that think thanks are not a reliable source. Could you either take away your tag or provide some external source information that backs your view, in this case or in general. Queenofboston (talk) 10:31, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Women in Red
[edit]Hi there, Queenofboston, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have someone interested in law, society issues and women as a member of the project. I see you have already created two interesting women's biographies and have written other articles of interest to women. We look forward to many more. If you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:57, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- thank you very much for welcoming me. I read the Primer attentively and I am looking forward to contribute to this project. Queenofboston (talk) 16:03, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for creating an interesting piece on Grace Ly. For attribution purposes, when translating an article from another language version of Wikipedia, you should mention this in your first edit summary (see Help:Translation). I've also included a translation tag on the talk page. I've added a number of wiki links which you can see from "What links here" in the LH margin.--Ipigott (talk) 06:51, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- thank you, well noted on pages that already exist in another language, I will make a reference in the very first edit creating the page. Queenofboston (talk) 09:34, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Equinox (organization)
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Equinox (organization) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Equinox_(organization). When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 12:24, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Use of opinion pieces as sources in articles
[edit] Opinion pieces in the New York Times are reliable sources for what their authors say, but that is all. Your edit to the Qatar corruption scandal at the European Parliament used an opinion piece by Alexander Clapp in the New York Times as its source. Mr Clapp is a journalist based in Athens, and is also a visiting fellow of St Antony's College, Oxford.[1] Your edit made statements of fact, that were in fact statements of Clapp's opinion.[2] We are not allowed to do that. See WP:RSEDITORIAL.-- Toddy1 (talk) 23:07, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- thank you, I will add another source for the facts part of the edit Queenofboston (talk) 23:22, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Have a look at the following source, which may cause you to amend some of the statements in the section you are writing:
- Parrock, Jack (7 March 2023). "Qatargate: Suspect interviews leak EU corruption details". Deutsche Welle.
-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:58, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Upcoming EP elections
[edit]Would you be interested in working on drafts that anticipate the upcoming EP elections? I'm trying to gather editors ahead of time, so we can have an established format and idea of what should be included. I'd like to work on:
- 1. An article about the new EP parliament, similar to Ninth European Parliament --> Medium
- 2.The European Commission article will need to be updated when the new commission --> Large
- 3. There will need to be an update like on the Collage itself, similar to the von der Leyen Commission --> Large
- 4. An update on President of the European Commission --> Small
- 5. Update the High Representative of the European Union --> Small
Let me know if you are interested! Thank you so much for your contributions! Chefs-kiss (talk) 13:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I would be happy to help! I am not always equally available but happy to help with tasks. I would be happy to collaborate. Queenofboston (talk) 13:58, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

- I see there is already a page for the 2024 elections similar to 2019 European Parliament election. I am happy to help update the pages of the respective Commissioners. Are there any pictures to be added to wikimedia to facilitate this? Queenofboston (talk) 16:02, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- As for a specific list of tasks I was thinking of the following
- 1. An article about the new EP parliament, similar to Ninth European Parliament --> Medium
- 2.The European Commission article will need to be updated when the new commission --> Large
- 3. There will need to be an update like on the Collage itself, similar to the von der Leyen Commission --> Large
- 4. An update on President of the European Commission --> Small
- 5. Update the High Representative of the European Union --> Small
- I was thinking to have like a draft of the existing pages where we substitute info to more actual information, then when the elections and events start happening these get updated. Chefs-kiss (talk) 15:40, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Apple's EU tax dispute into Ireland as a tax haven. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
