message: When you write GAG in the Wikepedia search engine and don't use the accent mark - will the page still come up? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.80.168.143 (talk • contribs).
:Yes. Doing that will redirect your result to this page.--Húsönd 02:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Question???

message: I've added a copyvio tag because several paragraphs seem to have been lifted directly from this website. The material was added during this edit by Sfphotocraft in November 2006. As best I can tell, that material was already on that website by November 2006. See the Internet Archive logs for the site here. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 14:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright violation

message: While adding and footnoting info I had to remove this "She considered herself a feminist and advocate of free love in the 1920s." because I didn't find a citation for it in any of my books. Feel free to add it back if you have one.Tlqk56 (talk) 05:00, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed some content... 

message: Starting to add new sections, to give a more balanced overview of Wanda's life and work. Feel free to fill in, PLEASE NOTE: some older material has factual errors, try to source material based on newer research which had access to her archives  after 1993.  Try to avoid sources which are just rehashes of other rehashes. New sections may be sparse until they are filled in. Dktrfz (talk) 01:09, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I just noticed that you are including a lot of pages from the same book.  Would you consider using just one reference for the book and then using ?  In addition, things like "Cech, John (editor), Dictionary of Literary Biographies: American Writers for Children, 1900-1960, Gale Research, 1983, volume 22, pp. 183;" aren't entirely necessary since there already exists a reference that says "Cech, John (editor), Dictionary of Literary Biographies: American Writers for Children, 1900-1960, Gale Research, 1983, volume 22, pp. 179-191;"  Ryan Vesey Review me! 15:19, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Sections 

message: Re: Edits by 32.218.47.31. Please check the Caldecott and Newbery sites for a complete description of the differences between Medals and Honors: "Beside the Caldecott Medal, the committee awards a variable number of citations to worthy runners-up, called the Caldecott Honors or Caldecott Honor Books. The "Honor" was introduced in 1971, but some runners-up had been identified annually and all those runners-up were retroactively named Caldecott Honor Books." I am reverting your edits, if you have a reason for your edits, please state it here.Dktrfz (talk) 13:48, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In biographies and her diaries Gág's sexual relationships has been mentioned as important to her artistic inspiration and development, something to bear in mind when editing. Bowdlerization has cropped up here in the past, editors would do well to consult the Winnan, Hoyle, and Cox references, as well as Gág's own writings before removing them.Dktrfz (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Sexual Relationships

message: Wow! This is a splendid biography of a person that Wikipedia needs to know all about. A potential featured article. I understand it had copyright problems in the past and did not check for them except to run Earwig's Copyvio Detector (which says violation is possible at 42.2% which needs to come way down). At this time I raised it to B class which is as high as it can go without impartial review.
Comments:
* I added alt text for the photos and tried to put them in chronological order. Sorry the illustration in the New York section probably belongs one section up.
* Can you please remove or adjust some of the citations in the lead? They break up the prose. WP:CITEBUNDLE might apply I don't know.
* I added paragraph breaks but you might want to change those.
* The lead should be expanded to explain her influence on picture books. It could be at least two or more paragraphs.
* Policy on this is extensive, more than I have time to learn today. The section "Selected prints" is informative but it might need to find another way to present them. WP:EL, MOS:LINK and Wikipedia:WikiProject External links are some places that could help. -SusanLesch (talk) 18:27, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: sorry I don't recognize your name from the meetup. I'm not interested in developing this article and was hoping to encourage more work on it, unfortunately several years en retard.

thread_title:  Reassessment 

message: I am removing the following:
*In 1928, Gág hand-colored some of Rockwell Kent's illustrations in a limited edition of Candide.Candide, Voltaire and Kent, Random House: New York, 1928
, the art historian Carl Zigrosser attributes the coloring of Rockwell Kent's to Ione Robinson & Dehli Gág. Dehli was one of Wanda's siblings.
The Voltaire/Kent edition of Candide mentions neither Gág or Robinson.
