Silesian School of Iconography

Dear Wikipedians! I have a dream to create an article about the Silesian School of Iconography because I started it 11 years ago, and now I have some time since my children are on vacation, allowing me to devote myself to my passion. I once encountered this community and can't believe they aren't present on Wikipedia. I'm not very skilled with all the tools, so please: help me. I have a few more days to create great articles, but I also want to include them in Wikimedia Commons, where I'll upload all available works of the Silesian School of Iconography. I created the category "Silesian School of Iconography," but it seems something is not quite right. Help me make such a category. I'm also writing articles about some members of this school, but I can't gather all the materials. Perhaps I'll create basic drafts for further development, which I believe is also valuable. Please, take a look at the links (note! some are drafts and I'll be modifying them), but most importantly, I care about the Silesian School of Iconography. If you can, please improve these texts. 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Silesian_School_of_Iconography 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monika_Jerominek 3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Like_the_dewfall/Jolanta_%C5%9Awi%C4%85tkiewicz 4) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Like_the_dewfall/Dariusz_Klejnowski-R%C3%B3%C5%BCycki I also have issues regarding licenses and copyrights, as some images have been blocked. In the meantime, I'm sending images available on the website of the Silesian School of Iconography here under the "WORKS" section at the bottom of the page, and I don't know how to manage this. Please help me with that as well. Like the dewfall (talk) 00:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikidata

Thanks for doing the Wikidata on Susannah Emory. I usually do them but had no clue how to list her birth/death info (since it's a range) and her "country of citizenship". She was never a citizen of any "country". The US didn't even exist until 1783 and the Cherokee Nation (1794–1907) until 1794. She lived between +/-1740 (but likely if she was the 3rd daughter 1745) and 1797-1800, so at best, she would have been a Cherokee citizen. (After removal to Oklahoma, the Native people in Indian Territory were granted US citizenship in 1901, but it was not until 1924 that Indigenous people outside of Oklahoma were granted US citizenship. Probably my "taking it too literally" issue, do you know if it is possible to use Cherokee Nation as her citizenship?, or should I just let it lie. SusunW (talk) 13:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your question, @SusunW. In the interests of our Women in Red statistics, I create new items for women's bios I find via the daily report, User:AlexNewArtBot/WomeninredSearchResult and didn't notice that you were the creator of Susannah Emory. I don't know what to do about the date range, but I've now added Cherokee Nation Q5092177 and removed USA Q30 - you may want to add a ref for the former. Before doing so, to see what other women have been given that designation, I created (via Query Builder) a query for women of the Cherokee Nation. There was a single result, another bio you created, Carrie Bushyhead Quarles. Susannah Emory was certainly a member of the Cherokee Nation at the time of her death. As you know, you, or anyone else for that matter, can change anything on her Wikidata item at any time, just like in Wikipedia. Oronsay (talk) 19:44, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

I also queried for Q14708404 Cherokee Nation (description: Federally recognized Indian tribe of the United States) and found just 8 women. So it's not commonly used as P27 Country of citizenship and the 3 I looked at had both USA and CN.

Oronsay (talk) 19:48, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I am pretty unfamiliar with Wikidata. I find it difficult, but I try to do it and hope some kind soul comes along and fixes whatever I messed up. I just wondered if you were more familiar and if there was a policy about people who were stateless or not citizens of any "country". Happy to add sources to confirm. SusunW (talk) 19:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

@SusunW: Afraid I can't help you much with your question about stateless or not citizens of any "country". I have found some people with P27 statelessness – but mostly because of losing citizenship, particularly Russians – so I don't think that is helpful. With Wikidata, my editing varies tremendously. In creating Susannah Emory, I was chasing gender stats for the weekly update and often doing the bare minimum: Item + instance of human + sex or gender female/male. The other extreme, for example, is when adding Aussie Fellows of our learned academies to Wikidata (a pet project of mine, not limited to women). I add as many statements, references and identifiers as I can. Sometimes I know country of citizenship is Australia, sometimes I assume it and sometimes I leave it blank.
