Wallace Heard Goldsmith

Hi, I wanted to thank you for your Category:Wallace Heard Goldsmith. Have you thought about writing a Wikipedia article on him? Greg Henderson (talk) 22:17, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

@Greghenderson2006: Less into writing articles these days. Happy to do the research and transcriptions at enWS, as interest exists. You can see I did a few basics at s:en:Author talk:Wallace Heard Goldsmith. I was establishing the basics of their life for the birth and deth information. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:52, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

As a further note, you would be welcome over at enWS for transcriptions, our difference is that if it is credibly published it is suitable notable, so all the articles that you cited for Charles O. Beebe would all be able to be reproduced. Identifying obscure writers, and collating basic details and pushing that data to WD is of value IMNSHO. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:04, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate your response and info for WP:WD and WP:Wikisource. That is where I found you when doing research for Delos Goldsmith the father of Wallace Heard Goldsmith. It is amazing how Wikipedia can tie these facts together to understand how the Goldsmiths, for the most part stayed east, whereas Delos Goldsmith and his niece Abbie Jane Hunter-Goldmsith came to the west looking for new opportunities. However, I am having some problems with WP:N issues and the high mark some editors the notability of some of my articles. Your suggestion to move items to WD and Wikisource is good. Wikimedia Commons is another way to preserve a lot of informatioin and images about someone. I hope you are doing well and moved on to other areas that interest you.

Restoring links to new scholarship that were erroneously taken down

Hello. A number of edits (often to the "Further reading" section) were just made to pages related to some major British poets of the Romantic era. The edits announced and linked to brand new original essays by major international scholars on those poets, which constitutes new and significant contributions to the important literary field and to these poets. We believe that these were very wrongly (and for unsupportably reasons) removed by--perhaps the moderator did not get what wa going on. We hope these can be restored as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention. Gkblank (talk) 04:11, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
