Sibley
Yes, Sibley was promoted to Brigadier in the Union Army, but the Union Army was composed of two parts: Regular Army (most general officers being West Point grads), and the much larger force of United States Volunteers. Brevet ranks further complicate the situation (Sibley was brevetted to Major general, USV after the end of the Civil War). Let me know if you have questions.

6th Minnesota
Really like your contributions to Battle of Birch Coulee. Where did you find the Federal muster in information for the 6th Minnesota? I could use that ref for Fort Ridgely for sure and maybe Fort Snelling. Is the muster into Federal service listed for the other Minnesota units: 7th, 8th Infantry and 3rd Artillery in particular.

DYK for Azayamankawin
On 21 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Azayamankawin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that photographers in Saint Paul, Minnesota, sold thousands of cartes-de-visite of "Old Betz" (pictured), a Dakota woman who they said was 120 years old? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Azayamankawin. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Azayamankawin), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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. |

Your review at Template:Did you know nominations/John Lewis (Shawnee leader)
Hi there, Cielquiparle! Thanks for the review of the article, i appreciate that you stuck through a review that took almost a month. A small note: The nominator requested that their hook be ran on October 5, and you approved the nomination on October 4. When the approving tick comes within about a week of the date request, it's best to raise a flag on WT:DYK and maybe even ping a few admins, so that they can put it into the queues on time. No big deal, just something to note for next time. Thanks again! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 23:06, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Verena Conzett
I have nominated the article and included you as a creator in the nomination so you get a credit for it. Feel free to suggest other hooks.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:48, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Paradise Chronicle Looks good, thank you! (Shortened slightly and added English source for ALT hook.) Just wanted to ask, is it supposed to appear under February 27 or February 20 on the DYK page? (Still figuring out how DYK works.) Cielquiparle (talk) 12:18, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Have now proposed a second ALT hook and gone ahead and moved the nomination up on the DYK page (to February 20). Cielquiparle (talk) 16:27, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- How DYK works, we can always learn more. I guess the reviewer would like to trim the article a bit. And for the long run, the autobiography published in her own publishing house is a good primary source but wikipedia specifically prefers secondary sources. See WP:PRIMARY and WP:SECONDARY. Anyway, most of what I read in her own bio, I also read in the Treichler book (A secondary source), sometimes even in more detail than I found it in the article, so if this gets an issue we need to improve a bit on the sourcing. For example the text cited by the source of the pages 171-177 from the Conzett bio could be split, made more precise and supported with a secondary Treichler source. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:20, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Paradise Chronicle, have cleaned up and cut further. Let me know if you have any other questions / thoughts. May add a few more sources which may trigger further minor edits but will try to keep it simple. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Anarchism
Hi Cielquiparle,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 17:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Cielquiparle, and thanks for creating several well presented biographies of women. It seems to me you would be a useful member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are chipping away at the gender gap. You can do so by registering in the box at the top of our project page. But even if you do not join, I look forward to many more articles about women. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:55, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Ipigott! What does membership entail? Is it different from contributing articles? Cielquiparle (talk) 12:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- There are no firm obligations although we do of course encourage members to create articles about women and their works. As you probably know, less than 20% of biographies on the English Wikipedia are about women. Each month we put together two or three priorities on which we think it would be useful to work. We find it useful to help each other along and whenever possible we provide support to those who run into problems. We have a wide variety of redlists pointing to women who may deserve biographies. You can find out more about our activities and the support we offer on the main wp:Women in Red page and on its talk page, probably the most active of any wikiproject.--Ipigott (talk) 12:18, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Ipigott, will check it out. Out of curiosity, is membership what triggers automated newsletter delivery to one's User Talk page? Or is that triggered in another way? Cielquiparle (talk) 13:38, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

- Thanks so much, @Ipigott. The whole reason I found my first WiR event in the first place was through this newsletter on someone else's Talk page. (So it did its job, amazing!) But now that I know how to find the events, I don't need the newsletter anymore, if that makes sense. That is one reason I haven't wanted to sign up as a member. It also took me a very long time to figure out that #1day1woman didn't necessarily mean you were signing up to create 1 new article a day, which I could never do. Anyway I have been nothing but impressed with what I've experienced so far through WiR. I'm just not sure I can commit to more than an event or an article here and there. Cielquiparle (talk) 17:24, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- OK, that's fine but most members are far less active than you. Even if you join, if you don't want to receive the newsletter I can just leave your name off the mailing list. You can always see what we are doing under Events on our project page. If you haven't already done do, you might find it useful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies and some of our other essays. Just let me know if ever you run into difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:24, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

List of female American football players
Personally, I think the criteria need to be tight and include only those who either already have an article, or warrant one based on available coverage. When coverage is purely of local interest trivia, e.g. high school firsts & records, homecoming queens, etc., or independent sources do not go beyond passing mentions in routine coverage, the people should not be in the list. wjematherplease leave a message... 11:50, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Wjemather That was my original thinking as well. At one point, I was even on the fence if the high school section should even exist, given that so few of the players have Wikipedia pages (though as it turns out Maida's is just a stub even if having a movie made about you is notable).
- After looking at what's there, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a different set of criteria just for the High school section. Without a doubt, Adults have to meet the normal standard of "notability". But for High school only, could we say:
- Simply being a female player is not notable – there has to be something else establishing notability
- High school firsts and records are not notable
- County level firsts and records are not notable
- League / conference level firsts and records are notable, if they are verifiable
- State level firsts and records are notable, if they are verifiable
- National / international firsts and records are notable
- Certain awards are notable (mostly corresponding with above)
- The other thing that has really given me pause while reviewing the page, is the fact that the list page itself has previously received media coverage, plus the fact that this page actually has historically had a lot of traffic. I think people are looking for these types of facts (see AV Club article here), there is interest in them, and we could provide them if they are verifiable and meet a certain standard of notability. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable but would just clarify that the source for verification should always be independent of the league/state/award/etc. and we should avoid woolly claims of firsts (e.g. "believed to be..."). The trouble with interesting facts (trivia) is they are very often not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:27, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Wjemather Yes thanks, will explicitly state the independent sources requirement in framing the criteria on the Talk page (personally I prefer multiple sources for most facts anyway). Point taken about not-a-trivia-almanac and avoiding woolly claims.
- Will go back and and do another pass from the top. (Will probably add a few more notable high school players later but it would be a handful at most, no additional homecoming queens, and as USA Today notes, by 2017 female high school football players are not that uncommon anymore so it makes sense that notability is in some ways "harder" to achieve over time.) Cielquiparle (talk) 03:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes indeed. It's much easier to justify inclusion of those without articles when multiple good sources exist. Good work. wjematherplease leave a message... 10:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Wjemather: I just ordered The Women's Football Encyclopedia by Neal Rozendaal, so I'm all-in now. Unfortunately the most recent edition appears to be from 2016/2017 – we'll see how helpful it is once it arrives – but it seemed better than not having it at all. Whether this is technically TNT or not, it feels like taking a step back and looking from outside-in – what do the sources say, also about the bigger picture – can only lead to improvement.

Good job with the penguins
I've come across West London Penguin Swimming and Water Polo Club. Very impressed with how well you have expanded the article since it was nominated for deletion. To go from one source to eighty four in a month must have taken quite a bit of work. RicDod (talk) 20:39, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @RicDod, I might have "gone off the deep end" with Penguin, but what a rich history, and thank goodness for the Wikipedia Library and Newspapers.com, etc. (Not to mention all the Olympic athlete pages, many of which are/were stubs, but for genuinely notable people.) Was also excited to have a reason to set foot in the British Library, absolutely thrilling. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:03, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Also... @The wub: Please pass on to the team out that develops Visual Editor: Thank you for all the work that you do. Over the past year I have definitely noticed performance improvements and for a user like me it makes all the difference in the world. It just makes everything so much faster.

I added an author credit for you at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph Eiboeck. I can remove it if you don't want it. SL93 (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh nice, @SL93! Thanks so much. I was really surprised to find out so much about the German language press in Iowa. Plus the war over Prohibition. And then "printer's devil" as a topic sucked me in for a while (I didn't quite finish but at least that page doesn't say "citation needed" after every sentence anymore). Anyway, great find / addition to Wikipedia. It has also helped me to understand the Dakota War in Minnesota in a different way. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:53, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

I saw you loaded Millie to en:wiki. You might want to look at the commons template called "PD-UK-unknown" which says that if the photographer is unknown (and "Daily Mirror" or "Smith, Jones and Brown Ltd" = unknown) and the photo is before 1952 (70 years ago) then its out of copyright. In this case Millie Hudson's photo is at a reputable location and they don't know the photographer - so quick check on google images and then use the template above. Just a tip - feel free to ignore (obvs) Victuallers (talk) 15:48, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red's Inspirer Award | |
Did You Know that your article about Olympic diver Millie Hudson, who attempted to swim across the Strait of Gibraltar in 1928, inspired an article about the Hammersmith Ladies Swimming Club and it complemented the article about Belle White, the first British diver to win an Olympic medal? More than this your article has hinted that history needs to be corrected and we are. Victuallers (talk) 18:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC) |

Peter Beveridge
Continuing from the article's talk page, it took about 30 seconds to type the name into the google books searchbox, so no big deal! the Jersey press photos are a very good find, but the portrait doesn't look much like any of the others, so much so that I did wonder if the newspaper had mis-indexed it. However, I got tired of fruitless newspaper searches and for my own satisfaction did 5 minutes of original research - which of course can't be used for Wikipedia - and from this there is no doubt, despite the coincidences, that these were two different men. I'm very happy to share it if you'd like, but as said it would be of no use for the article, although it may (or not, of course) give you a springboard from which more easily to find appropriate secondary material, so let me know if you're interested. Ingratis (talk) 07:34, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds intriguing, thanks Ingratis! So tantalising yet frustrating that the Jersey Evening Post donated that massive photographic archive to Jersey Heritage, yet the digitisation of their newspaper archives remains incomplete for exactly the decades we would need. Another major avenue to explore is several decades' worth of Swimming Times magazine, which would require a lot of in-person library time (plus pre-ordering volumes in advance), but having done some of that recently I'm not sure I want to do it again just yet. My interest in this really just stemmed from wanting everyone to exercise more caution before jumping to the conclusion that two individuals with the same name (and same middle initial) necessarily are the same person, as in the past I have spent weeks untangling historical biographies that got completely confused, as in Shakopee (Dakota leaders), Zhaagobe, and Sha-có-pay (within those three articles are references to six confirmed individuals called "Six", plus a possible seventh, and there were easily others). Cielquiparle (talk) 08:38, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- You were clearly right to be sceptical and it would been an odd combination. I've left a couple of notes at User:Ingratis/Temp page 2, mostly from the 1939 survey, which makes it clear that there were 2 different PHB's then in London. The diver was born just "Harry" but added the Peter, which was his father's name. He apparently died in 2002, but no information on where: his son's wife and child ended up in New Zealand. The policeman is certainly notable - I may put together a stub. I'm not sure whether civil registration indexes can be counted as secondary sources - lots of articles have them, but more extreme editors seem to like to delete them as OR - but the entries are available without subscription at freebmd<dot>org<dot>uk Ingratis (talk) 07:41, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
