WT:Harassment

Hi, Bluerasberry. I undid you revert. Jytdog posted a link on March 15, right below GorillaWarfare's statement to the archived statement. Its still there. Generally speaking, it's much better to do that rather than alter someone else's comment. Mkdw ^talk 01:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

I will leave it but it seems strange to preserve a dead link. I recognize that it is in the old comment but it seems apparent to me that the person was trying to communicate a link, not code which is cannot have meaning outside the context of further research which only a few people can do. I appreciate your intent to protect the text, though. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:37, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Veronica Lake

I left you a message at Talk:Veronica Lake. That whole Stewart Lake nonsense is a hoax. Veronica Lake's life is pretty well documented, and she published her autobiography in 1970. No one named Stewart Lake was a part of that. The whole thing is a fabrication. She was given the name Veronica Lake by a producer at the beginning of her career, and it's a pretty well-known fact. Please close out that hoax. — Maile (talk) 00:51, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

I replied on the talk page there. Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:36, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 6, at Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW Seattle

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon

Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts.

We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor.

Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

What: Improving Wikipedia's coverage on queer and women artists of color
When: Saturday, May 6, 1-5pm
Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, WA 98105
Who: People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.
What to bring: A laptop and power cord. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affliated participants.

Drug expiration

Thanks for jumping in to the draft of drug expiration. It was a crazy article to address because it is a mix of technical medical content plus practical consumer information. I was struggling with the wording for the distinction between actual expiration date versus date on the label, so thanks for rewording that. I kept all of your changes. Thanks also for setting up the talk page.

The article is live now. I do not know how you found it while it was in draft form but I appreciate your attention. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:08, 9 May 2017 (UTC) |}

Thanks for your message! I was glad to help copyedit a bit. I found the draft when I looked at your contributions list. The WP:POPUPS gadget is old but still works fine. It lets you preview any user's recent contributions just by moving your mouse around — without any clicking required.

The article looks good; thanks again for writing it. Drug expiration is a big money-maker for drug makers. :) It's a sensible thing for you and/or the rest of Consumers Union to write about. Upon seeing the article, I was intrigued to learn about drug recycling. I may one day be starting on a certain rather-expensive drug, and may eventually look into acquiring it through recycling instead of just shopping around and using GoodRx.com for a coupon code.

My only quibble about the article: It strikes me as a bit odd that it has an empty "External links" section. I looked at MOS:ORDER s.v. "Bottom matter" and WP:LAYOUTEL s.v. "single item". It looks to me like (if you have no external links) it's best to omit the section, and to put all your category tags in the "References" instead.

Thanks also for all your work on Wikipedia. The more unbiased paid editors we have working on WikiProject Medicine, the better.

You need not write back to me unless you so desire. If you do write back, please do first move the whole conversation back to my talk page.
