On 2 June 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mira Zore-Armanda, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Croatian oceanographer Mira Zore-Armanda had difficulty gaining passage on research vessels because she was a woman? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mira Zore-Armanda. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Mira Zore-Armanda), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Myrtle Tannehill, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Pygmalion and The Philadelphia Story ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, Penny! I'm a fellow WIR editor and would like to suggest that you archive this talkpage. If you don't know how to, or if it seems daunting, I can help you. We can set it up to auto-archive or you might do like I do mine and manually archive it within time periods (weeks, months, years, etc.). This is just a suggestion, however its current state causes a long load-time for some who wish to leave you a new message here. Just reply here, if you would like my help. Have a great weekend! — Wylie pedia @ 09:47, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

I stand corrected on Tannehill's lawsuit to La Rue ["Grace La Rue Sued", LA Times February 11 1920](*several sources,see link). I don't understand how Tannehill thought she was going to win since Hamiton was a grown man responsible for his own actions and he and La Rue married legally. But I digress. It doesn't state if Tannehill won anything. Alienation-of-affections goes on to this day(*see link) and can be quite awarding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlYRBik3uf8

Thanks, Penny, for being the first to list an article under the
August Monthly achievement initiative. As you may have noticed, I have added a few details. Perhaps you would also like to add the {{Participant:Women in Red August 2018 achievements}}
box to your user page (unless you are waiting until you achieve barnstart recognition for five or more). I think a box on your user page might well attract more interest and lead to wider participation in writing women's biographies. I realize all this takes up additional time but it might be worth it.--

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hallo Penny, A lot of your new articles have popped up in my notifications because many years ago I created the article Florence Nightingale Medal to which a batch of your recent articles have linked.
I'm something of a redirects enthusiast and have spent a bit of time yesterday adding lots of redirects for these formidable women, from all the variations of their name which seem likely - it picked up a few incoming links, and I ended up having fun disambiguating a clutch of different people to create a dab page at Rebecca Price. I don't really see the point of surname list pages, but they exist so it's good to get women listed on them, so I've added your subjects to those pages, or made a redirect where they are the only surname-holder.
Today I saw Lucy Minnigerode, ended up creating a surname page at Minnigerode, creating the article about her grandad Charles Minnigerode (and fixing a handful of mis-spellings of him in various articles, and linking to him, etc). But I noticed that you'd got a blue limk to Charles Frederick Ernest Minnigerode which was leading outside enwiki to the German article on him.
There is actually a rather useful template {{
Interlanguage link}} (which can be abbreviated as {{
Ill}} which is hard to read in a san-serif font), which allows you to make a redlink within enwiki and also a link to another wiki. When the enwiki article is created, the red link turns blue and the external link disappears. It's rather neat. In this situation the code would have been {{ill|Charles Frederick Ernest Minnigerode|de|Karl Minnigerode}}
. Just to show what it would look like, here's a version with a red link:
Charles xyz Minnigerode . I suggest that it's better to use this template than to link directly to the German article. Hope this is helpful.
Best wishes - and congratulations on the huge stream of well-crafted articles, which makes my own set of stubby little contributions seem very weak! Pam D 18:27, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
