I've gone ahead with th4e re-nomination of the James Madison article. There is a rewritten Slavery section now and it would be nice to see your support/oppose comments. Possibly you could revisit the review which you had started 2 months ago if time allows. [[User:ErnestKrause|ErnestKrause]] ([[User talk:ErnestKrause|talk]]) 14:40, 4 April 2023 (UTC) |

Hello,
I hope all is well. I was wondering if you knew what the status of the GA review is for Robeson County? I'm thinking the review will likely start around early June (if no reviewer is free right now) because it's not a high-ranking article on Wikipedia. I also officially requested new images of NC/SC county courthouses to replace the missing or unfit images currently on their pages. I added Scotland County to that list as well so hopefully an updated image can be uploaded soon (I might have an opportunity to take a picture of that courthouse in the coming weeks though). Have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 23:44, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- @DiscoA340: All quiet on the Southern front. The GA process has just undergone some revision, which now includes the listing of the passed GA noms vs reviews conducted ratio per article nominator by each nomination, and if I remember in some of the related discussions regarding GA reform some of the more prolific reviewers said they would not review noms by people who they didn't think were "doing their share" of reviews themselves. Since I'm at 22/77 with several other noms in the queue and geography is not as popular a category, I think it might be a while. June seems a fair estimate. In the meantime, the only Robeson related thing I've dug up as of recent is this interesting facsimile, though that probably belongs on an article yet to be created. With regards to the file requests, best of luck on the Scotland County Courthouse. Also, have you tried searching Flickr for Wikimedia Commons-compatibly-licensed photos? For more high profile places such as Boone/Watauga County, you might get lucky in finding a photo of the newer courthouses/county government buildings. -Indy beetle (talk) 05:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Might I also ask that if you are down that way in Scotland and happen to pop by Lumberton in Robeson, to take a photo of the Robeson County Administration Center? It's in a former bank building downtown just across from the rear of the courthouse. The county article would have room for that photo and I think it would be a nice addition. -Indy beetle (talk) 05:42, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info about the GA process. Sadly, I've not found a licensable images for the remaining ones on Flickr. I don't think I'm going close to Lumberton anytime soon but I'll try to get a couple good pictures of Laurinburg. I'll try to get that picture next time I go to Lumberton though. Have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 13:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Also, I'll be heading along the I-74/US 74 so I will get some pictures along that corridor as well. Keep me posted about the GA Review, I'll be happy to help out when the time comes. DiscoA340 (talk) 14:17, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

I just got some pictures of Laurinburg and the Scotland County Courthouse. I will look through them in a couple weeks or so. I’ll message you when they’re uploaded. DiscoA340 (talk) 21:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- I just finished uploading all my pictures regarding Laurinburg and Scotland County (you can find them here). I'll keep my eyes peeled again the next time I'm around the region, but I hope these help. Have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 04:31, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- @DiscoA340: Thank you for those shots of the Scotland County Courthouse. I saw you photographed the hospital in Wilmington. I haven't really considered it before, but those hospital photos might prove useful in the future. I haven't hit the road since January (new job etc.), I need to get out more. Hope it was a good trip! -Indy beetle (talk) 08:50, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Also I added the photo you took of Cleveland County's administrative center to the Cleveland County article. Another thing I did not originally consider on my own past travels (centers of county government) but will also prove useful in the future. Shelby is a great small town, if you're ever back that way again I recommend the Shelby Cafe, their sausage and gravy ain't so bad. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:12, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Always glad to help. Also, thanks for the recommendation, I don't know when I'll next be beck in Shelby but I'll keep it in mind. I've still got a lot more photos to upload from this trip (additionally, my hotel was near the Buncombe/Asheville Government complex, so keep posted if you need a photo of the complex). Photos of county, city, etc... government buildings might be good in the "Government and politics" sections which usually get neglected the most when it comes to photos (let's be honest, they aren't Mount Michell or Wright Brothers National Memorial). But as I said last comment, I'll keep my eyes out (especially to whittle down these two lists); keep me posted if there's any pictures you want taken in the south Sandhills/Coastal region of NC. Thanks again, have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 21:45, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- I found some more photos taken in Scotland and Robeson Counties. I believe that is it for all the important photos I took in both counties. Have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 04:14, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Update on the County Courthouses search: A user was able to find suitable images for all but one courthouse (Currituck County, North Carolina) in NC/SC; so those government buildings are now all accounted for. Just wanted to alert you to this update since it was talked about earlier, have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 22:13, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- @DiscoA340: I'm somewhat concerned about the copyright status of those photos. Is User:Cork12 John Deacon? They're uploading the photos as CC0 1.0 Public Domain and attributing them to John Deacon's website, here - American Courthouses. I see no evidence that Mr. Deacon has licensed his photos for reuse in such a way, and we would need an WP:ORTS ticket filled out saying he agrees to release these photos into the public domain unless he uploads them on Wiki with his own account. Unfortunately, I think this places us back at [courthouse] square one. -Indy beetle (talk) 22:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Pinging @Cork12 per comment above. I will say that I’ve possibly seen these photos being used on the official NC Judicial Website. I hope this can be sorted out though. DiscoA340 (talk) 23:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- No I'm not John Deacon, I'm a 13 year old named Diego who likes editing Wikipedia. I contacted the owner of the website and he allowed me to upload them after I asked permission. I asked for the CC licence and he said I could upload them at no charge. If I made a mistake I'm very sorry. Cork12 00:03, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Cork12 No need to be sorry, you did the right thing in contacting the owner and he seems alright with their usage. Whenever it comes to Wikipedia and file permission, the site always leans on double-checking with owner to clear to clear up any possible comments or issues. I don't know the system 100% myself and I have messed up before when it came to the VRT process but I'm happy to help to my best ability to sort this out. One question though, did he agree to the Public Domain license or did he just give permission for reuse? No matter the answer, I believe he will have to choose a license himself. @Indy beetle, do you know anything else about the VRT process? If he agrees to everything above, you could file a request on Commons:Batch uploading to upload his images to Commons as he theoretically has a picture of every current U.S. County Courthouse but you would likely need his explicit permission to do so (this can't be done if he only allows the files you uploaded to be used). But let's just focus on getting full permission for these files first if that's what needed. DiscoA340 (talk) 01:57, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- @DiscoA340 @Indy beetle He only said with no charge, so I assumed that meant public domain. I can give you his email so you can talk with him about it. Cork12 02:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Cork12 Okay, I'll have to see what Indy beetle says. No charge could mean any CC license as they are all free but if he decides which one is suitable, then we'll be good (I found some instructions about this process here). DiscoA340 (talk) 02:19, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

- @DiscoA340: @Cork12: Unfortunately, we would probably need more than us reproducing it with "no charge" to host these photos. Wikimedia Commons only allows photos that are in the public domain/have had their copyright lapse or are licensed under some compatible creative commons license (including CC-BY-SA-4.0, CC-BY-SA-3.0, CC-BY-SA-2.5, CC-BY-4.0, CC-BY-3.0, CC-BY-2.5, or CC0 Waiver, etc.) Releasing a photo under one of these licenses has a specific legal impact beyond Wikipedia, since the new licensing would also allow anyone to freely reuse the photo under the given terms of a license (typically, the most these licenses can require of someone is that they attribute the original author and if they make a derivative that they have to license it the same as the original). Thus, Mr. Deacon might be okay with Wikipedia reusing the photos, but I doubt he thought he was agreeing to allow everybody to reuse his photos without cost and without his permission. Public domain or CC0 Waiver literally means anyone could use the photo for any purpose, including making derivates, without ever having to attribute Mr. Deacon.
- As things current stand, and keeping in mind Wikimedia Commons Precautionary principle, these photos should probably be deleted. Cork12, you could try to reach out again to Deacon and see if he would agree to releasing his photos under a Wikimedia-compatible license (you could ask people at the Commons help desk for advice on what licenses would be ok). If you do secure his permission, you could then follow-up with the Volunteer Response Team on registering proof of his permission. I imagine the more likely scenario is that he doesn't agree beyond us using them, in which case they would need to be remove from Commons. Wikipedia (not Commons) does sometimes allow fair use content but per Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, these requirements are rather strict and a statement such as "the author is fine with us using them on Wikipedia" is usually not sufficient alone to allow for them to be shown here. This all might be confusing to a newer user and I'm sympathetic to that as I made similar mistakes during my first year here, so don't stress too much about this Cork, just be more careful next time and, when in doubt, you can ask the people at the Commons help desk for advice. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I'll ask him what licence he wants and I'll re-upload them again! I will always ask what licence do they want now. Cork12 04:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, best of luck. @DiscoA340: Do you mind in the meantime going through and reverting the photos on Wikipedia county articles? We shouldn't show them here unless we're certain that they meet our licensing requirements. I've undone the one for Watauga but I'm not sure which other county articles have Deacon photos. Sorry for all the trouble, I have to go eat my dinner now. -Indy beetle (talk) 04:50, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, sounds good, have a good day. DiscoA340 (talk) 04:55, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Indy beetle, @Cork12 Done. I hope the photographer does allow us to use them. DiscoA340 (talk) 05:41, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

- I'm sorry, I'll ask him what licence he wants and I'll re-upload them again! I will always ask what licence do they want now. Cork12 04:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Editor of the Week | |
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project) |
User:DiscoA340 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- I nominate Indy beetle to be Editor of the Week for their amazing contributions in both Wikipedia and Commons. While the user has heavily contributed to countless articles (full list can be found here), I would like to focus more on their work on North Carolinian articles as that is where I seen his work the most. Currently, they have heavily worked on 49 and likely many more articles ranging from notable political leaders, towns, cities, and counties in the state. The user has helped to improve multiple county pages in the state (with one currently waiting for GA approval) and that has greatly helped me as I mainly work on county pages. You can regularly find the user spending hours working on them and turning them into very informative articles, especially in the "History" sections. As well as that, they have uploaded hundreds of images to Commons with a fair portion of that number being their own pictures. All of these uploads help to improve lesser-known pages which many times lack a photo in the infobox. I believe this user is a great candidate for Editor of the Week for their outstanding work and contributors to Wikipedia.

DYK for Rubel Phillips
On 12 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rubel Phillips, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rubel Phillips was the first Republican to run in the Mississippi gubernatorial election since 1947 when he ran in 1963? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rubel Phillips. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Rubel Phillips), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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 GA nomination of Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Hog Farm -- Hog Farm (talk) 14:24, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
In this deletion discussion you said you didn't know why "one local school in particular should be privledged over the several schools which exist in that community on the community article." I don't see any schools noted in Granville, Jamaica so I was curious about which schools you are referring? FloridaArmy (talk) 14:49, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- @FloridaArmy: Granville All Age School and Montego Bay School for the Deaf. -Indy beetle (talk) 20:16, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Granville All Age School in Granville is the same school. Another school in Jamaica is also noted by the sale name as is reported in the Gleaner article you moved. I don't think Montego Abu School is in the same Granville? I think a merge is the best outcome if the school isn't independently notable. It is certainly an integral institution in the community.

Missing cite in Formation of the Lumumba Government
The article cites " Packham 1996" and "CRISP no. 78 1960" but no such sources are listed in the bibliography. Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Svick/HarvErrors.js]]
to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata•3 01:10, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician)
The article Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician) and Talk:Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician)/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Your GA nomination of Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician)
The article Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician) for comments about the article, and Talk:Pete Johnson (Mississippi politician)/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Vote Swing
I found this tool on Dave's Redistricting which allows you to compare the vote swing in counties/precincts across the US. To access: open a map file, click on "Swing" in the "Precincts" section, and finally, chose datasets to compare. I thought this might be useful as you edit a lot of political/election based articles. Have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 20:46, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

I've gone ahead with th4e re-nomination of the James Madison article. There is a rewritten Slavery section now and it would be nice to see your support/oppose comments. Possibly you could revisit the review which you had started 2 months ago if time allows. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:40, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
