There is a proposal at the IdeaLab that may interest you. Lightbreather (talk) 20:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Since WikiProject Women as proposed at the IdeaLab may take some time to realize, and based on a discussion on the proposal's talk page, I have started a test Kaffeeklatsch area for women only (cisgender or trans-woman, regardless of sexual orientation).
It is a place where women can go and be sure they'll be able to participate in discussions without being dominated by men's advice, criticism, and explanations. If interested, your participation would be most welcome. Lightbreather (talk) 23:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing out the LA Times op-ed piece. I've added a block quote to the controversy section of [[Selma (film)|Selma}. Perhaps you can and additional material, or help set up the quote better. I'd felt badly about the tide of what I considered irrelevant (from mainly self-serving Johnson COIs) criticism, but was hoping for something the quality and gravitas of Lewis' piece. (Surely the passage of 49 years in public service ought to give a (or the) primary source the currency of secondary. — Neonorange (talk) 23:53, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
The issue of the controversy was not about what was omitted, but what some historians claim was a deliberate distortion of President Johnson's attitude and role. Few would quibble with the right of DuVernay to not want to make another "white-savior" film and instead put an emphasis on the perspective of her primary subject matter, or her right to leave out mention of many prominent individuals across the social and racial spectrum who participated in the Selma marches or otherwise supported King. What Updegrove, Califano and other historians take issue with is how Johnson, who spearheaded the drive to pass the Civil Rights legislation and who proactively engaged and supported King, is portrayed as either a reluctant or obstructionist actor or self-interested opportunist. So your inclusion of Lewis' reference to the Lincoln film doesn't fit here.--Civlaction (talk) 06:53, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello SusanLesch,
For multiple reasons, I think you are very much mistaken to suggest that it is more encyclopedic to include both the legal name and the Dakota name when linking to Lake Calhoun.
First and foremost, the common practice on Wikipedia where place names have both European and Native names is to discuss the dispute on the actual place name's page itself, and perhaps use both names on that page, but not on linking pages. Examples abound, including Denali/Mt. McKinley, Mount Rainier/Tahoma, and Mount Baker/Kulshan. In each of these instances, linking pages almost solely (if not solely) use one name or the other, but not both. For example, despite active suggestions that Mt. Rainier should be officially renamed "Tahoma," no pages linking to the Mount Rainier page use the phrase "Mount Rainier, Tahoma" in the relevant wikilink.
Second, Wikipedia policy is to avoid political advocacy: see WP:ADVOCACY. In this case, the question of what the proper name of Lake Calhoun should be is very much a contentious political issue, and using a name that is not the legal name of the lake on linking pages subtly lends Wikipedia's authority to the concept that both names have (or should have) official status. Whether the Dakota name should replace the legal name is up to personal opinion, and Wikipedia should not (intentionally or otherwise) lend credence to that viewpoint.
Finally, listing the lake's name on linking pages as "Lake Calhoun, Bde Maka Ska" is quite confusing, especially when the name often appears on linking pages as part of a list of lakes. When someone without knowledge of Minneapolis reads a sentence containing the words, "Lake Harriet, Lake Calhoun, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake of the Isles," most people would naturally conclude that there are four lakes being referenced, rather than three. That level of uncertainty defeats the clarity that an encyclopedia strives for.
For these reasons, I intend to change the Minneapolis page back to read simply "Lake Calhoun." However, I thought I would be polite and notify you of my reasons first, and await any thoughts you might have. If you still disagree with that move, please feel free to respond here or on the Minneapolis page itself, where we can have a group discussion, rather than relying on one person's opinion. Thanks!

Greetings, Susan Lesch. You may have noticed that I just promoted Elmer McCollum to the DYK prep area. While I judged it good enough to pass DYK, I would strongly recommend that you either thoroughly copy-edit it yourself, or submit it at WP:GOCE. While the prose is fine, the section divisions feel like arbitrary breaks; the prose often picks up from the previous paragraph with no explanation of the new topic. Otherwise, well done with the article. Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 12:29, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi SusanLesch, I added Salman Rushdie's comment on Bob Dylan's Nobel prize to the Dylan article: “From Orpheus to Faiz, song & poetry have been closely linked. Dylan is the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition." I linked Faiz and Orpheus since I thought they were not familiar terms in an article on popular music. (Personally, I had not heard of Faiz until this mention.) I was surprised you removed the links, and would like to restore them. Best, Mick gold (talk) 14:19, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

I have created an article about a living Zen master, Dosho Port. It was reviewed and rejected by Seraphim System because the sources were deemed be inadequate. A subsequent review by worldbruce went into more depth and also considered the sources inadequate. (His review has been deleted.)
My problem is that within the world of contemporary American Zen, Dosho Port, is famous and respected. He has studied and practiced Zen for 40 years. He has studied with several of the most prominent Zen masters of the 20th century. He has taught at several Zen centers and is now the head abbot of the Nebraska Zen Center, one of the oldest Zen centers in the U.S. He is published. So within the world of Zen, Dosho Port is notable.
How to demonstrate this? The sources I cited in the article would be considered authoritative within the world of contemporary American Zen. In other contexts they might be considered inadequate, but that would be applying the wrong context.
Do you have any suggestions of how I can move forward?
Thanks, TooTallSid (talk) 17:20, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

I saw that you removed the comment in the lead about Glen Taylor also owning the Timberwolves stating "Undid because that is not who he is". I am not sure what you mean as he is the majority owner of both teams. Noting that a WNBA team is under the same ownership as an NBA team is consistent across all articles as most people have noted that is how the WNBA survives. See New York Liberty, Washington Mystics, San Antonio Stars, and Indiana Fever as examples. Even teams not owned by NBA teams are noted as not being affiliated in the lead (Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, etc.) and the Los Angeles Sparks even have a note that they used to be owned by the Lakers ownership. It would seem logical that the ownership (Taylor) should be noted as being involved with both. Yosemiter (talk) 02:20, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Susan. As I recall the Minnesota Portal is your work (and very good work at that). There's a proposal afoot to eliminate all portals: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#RfC:_Ending_the_system_of_portals. Feel free to comment there. Best wishes, Kablammo (talk) 17:55, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Every response for this survey can help the Wikimedia Foundation improve your experience on the Wikimedia projects. So far, we have heard from just 29% of Wikimedia contributors. The survey is available in various languages and will take between 20 and 40 minutes to be completed. Take the survey now.
If you have already taken the survey, we are sorry you've received this reminder. We have design the survey to make it impossible to identify which users have taken the survey, so we have to send reminders to everyone.

Learn more about this survey on the project page. This survey is hosted by a third-party service and governed by this Wikimedia Foundation privacy statement. Thanks!
Thank you very much for sending an ORTS ticket -- the backlog displayed in the template (269 days!) shocked me. I have sent one myself, 10 days ago. So it's just 259 to go until my file gets approved. lol ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:12, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to send an ORTS request.

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. RonBot (talk) 18:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for creating several articles on women and their works over the past few weeks. We have become aware of your contributions thanks to research undertaken by Bobo.03 at the University of Minnesota. We think you might be interested in becoming a member of our WikiProject Women in Red where we are actively trying to reduce Wikipedia's content gender gap. You can join by using the box at the top of the WiR page. But if you would like to receive news of our activities without becoming a member, you can simply add your name to our mailing list. In any case, thank you for actively contributing to the coverage of women (currently, 17.64% of English Wikipedia's biographies).
