Delabrede - I believe that you worked on the page for Bumpei Usui. I tried to edit but am not good at editing. The Personal Life section now needs fixing but hopefully you can see what I added. Can you help fix it? Virgnia Howard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vhoward36 (talk • contribs) 00:53, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ms. Howard, Thanks for the added information. Yes, I will review and correct as necessary. -- Delabrede (talk) 10:37, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on that article! I've nominated it for Did You Know status at this page, so this article may be displayed on the Main Page. Keep up the good work! Epic Genius (talk) 16:22, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

— Thanks Epicgenius! — Delabrede (talk)

Thank you for your recent articles, including Werner Drewes, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 21:11, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Werner Drewes, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 21:11, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking care of the issues I raised on the DYK nomination template. But the lead is still too long, and seems to be jumping back and forth chronologically with highlights from her career.

Hi there, Delabrede, and congratulations on the very high standard of your biographies of American artists. I have been looking through all the articles you have created and was particularly pleased to see how many women you had covered. The ORES assessment tool rates most of them as GA or FA but without the relevant reviews, B is the highest ranking we can give. If you are interested in bringing any of them to GA or higher, you might like to participate in WikiProject Women in Green. In any case, I look forward to more biographies along the same lines. You are making a really important contributor to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work!--Ipigott (talk) 16:25, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Delabrede, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk • work) 05:17, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Epicgenius (talk). I am happy you wish to nominate Sherwood Studio Building for a DYK. In the past I have made DYK and GA nominations for my stronger articles and in doing so I've learned a lot (although the screen reader problem hasn't been pointed out to me until now). Mostly, although it's clear I still have much to learn, I prefer to spend most of my time researching and writing and not so much of it working to be sure I've got everything exactly right.

-- Delabrede (talk) 18:31, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Delabrede: No problem. I'll nominate the article shortly, then. I think you deserve credit for your great work.

In regards to the images, it's fine. The reason I said it's not good practice is because it's actually discouraged in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Images due to mobile devices (particularly phones being unable to display images to the left and right, so they will actually display in one column from top to bottom). My fix isn't perfect, but it should resolve the issue for now without creating too many more issues. Epicgenius (talk) 21:18, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Delabrede, and thank you for all the excellent biographies you have written on American artists, especially those about women. It looks to me as if several of your recent creations are very close to meeting the GA standard. May I encourage you to submit one or more to this Women in Green event. Perhaps you would also like to become a member of WikiProject Women in Red where you work is likely to be an inspiration to less experienced editors.--Ipigott (talk) 10:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Delabrede, Ann Brockman and her husband Bill McNulty were great friends with my grandparents in 1930-1943. I have a large oil painting she did and gave my grandparents. I also have a couple of McNultys etchings. I believe the townhomes they rented were my grandparents townhome, who also rented a house in Long Island where my great grandmother and great-greatgrandmother styed to take care of mother and her sister.. My grandparents were Jack Kerkhoff, columnist and reporter for a couple of New York papers (one was the old Heast paper) and my grandmother, his wife, was Ellen Hogue, a published writer who co-authored with Beckdolt on a couple of books and she was also a poet, published.

Let me know if you want a jpg of her painting. Growing up in So. Calif..my brother and I always called Old Grump Face. My grandfather loved the painting but Ann didn’t..,she gave it to him. Feel free to contact me. Ann was a sweet lady …her husband Bill, according to my mother, now deceased, was a bit of a “gets too close to women kind of man”…but don’t print that.

Hi, Lynn,

Thanks for contacting me. Yes, I would like to see a jpg of the painting. My email is delabrede@yahoo.com. I didn't know about the friendship of the Brockman-McNultys with the Kerkhoff-Hogues. Brockman and McNulty were good friends with Jack Bechdolt and his wife Mabel Claire. Bechdolt was a newsman like Kerkhoff, and Claire was a writer like Hogue so there's an obvious connection. Brockman and McNulty lived at 404 W. 20th St in NYC between 1917 and 1943 and after her death he stayed on until 1945. During that time, the building was owned by members of the Cushman family (who owned a lot of properties in the Chelsea neighborhood -- I wrote an article about 404 W. 20th for Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_West_20th_Street ) . Although I couldn't find any indications that Brockman and McNulty lived in a townhouse that Kerkhoff owned, that doesn't mean that they didn't of course.

You probably have searched Kerkhoff thoroughly. This is what I found poking around the internet this morning:

1. Brief Life History of Johnston Davis:When Johnston Davis Kerkhoff was born on 1 November 1900, in Oak Park, Cook, Illinois, United States, his father, Theodore Moss Kerkhoff, was 25 and his mother, Ethel Lilian Johnson, was 24.

He then met and married Ruth B Burnette on April 26, 1941, in New York City, New York. Jack died on May 2, 1958, in Baja California, Mexico, at the age of 57. Johnston aka Jack Kerkhoff was a newspaperman, having worked at the Detroit Free Press, the Philadelphia Record, the New York Hearld Tribune under Hearst, in addition to writing historical novels on Aaron Burr, Alfred Dreyfus and one on himself .
