Albuquerque Unicycle Club

Hello, thanks for creating the Albuquerque Unicycle Club page. It looks like you have some insight knowledge here. I'm collecting all information about the history of unicycle hockey. If you have any photos or newspaper articles (in addition to what is now available through the wikipedia page) about unicycle hockey in Albuquerque, I'd be very interested in those! RolfSander (talk) 11:53, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I don't have any more information other than what I put into the article. I learned about it while writing the article about Ted Jorgensen and then when his notability was challenges, it prompted me to dive deeper to learn more. I found all the news articles via the newspaper archive of the Wikipedia Library, most editors can get free access to it and I recommend that highly for researching most things. CT55555(talk) 15:54, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Update: The book The Hot Rod World of Robert Williams identifies Robert Williams (artist) as a former member of the club and includes photographs. I was able to see them via Google Books. CT55555(talk) 02:01, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your replies and the information about the newspaper archive! I have a few minor comments about your changes on unicycle hockey page which I will post directly there... RolfSander (talk) 09:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

oops

I inadvertantly awarded this weeks award "out of sequence". I only noticed my mistake after I had inserted the Editor of the Week template on his page. I was ready to "undo" but realized that the cat would be out of the bag. Anyway....just thought you should know. ―Buster7 ☎ 15:33, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Your sig.

Although I personally have no issues with your sig at all, I just though I'd make sure you were aware of Wikipedia:Signatures#Appearance and color as I feel some people might get picky about the yellow-on-white part and ask you to change it.

Women writers assessments

Hi there, CT55555. Thanks for all your contributions to assessments. I see however you removed Women writers from the talk page of The Gardens of Consolation. It needs to be included as the book was written by a women. Happy editing.--Ipigott (talk) 09:55, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I misunderstood the inclusion criteria, thanks for fixing that. This means there is quite a lot of books articles I've created that lack the correct project, so I guess I have some work to do. Peace. CT55555(talk) 13:20, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Freeness of File:Genesis Market criminal website screen grab.webp?

Hi CT55555

The domain seizure screenshot you uploaded is a work of FBI, which as work of U.S. government, it would be considered as PD. As it's currently tagged as non-free (likely due to it includes non-free logos, which is potentially considered as derivative work), maybe you can check if it's PD, and if appropriate, retag it with {{PD-USGov-FBI}}? I'm not sure if its truly PD with logos shown considered de minimis (too trivial to be considered derivative work). Stylez995 (talk) 21:48, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I had not thought of that, I have added the free use tag. CT55555(talk) 14:36, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Article for Dupont PFAS contamination event?

I'm pretty sure that we should have an article for either the Dupont Washington Works chemical plant, or for the pollution event (maybe Dupont PFAS contamination) during which Dupont dumped PFOA into the environment around that plant from 1951-2003 (maybe even into 2020?! [1]). Possibly the best information about this on WP right now is at Robert Bilott the lawyer who represented the plaintiffs in a legal case about the disaster. (Should there be an article for the lawsuit?). I guess I'd like your opinion about the best approach here. Is it better to write an article about the facility or the pollution event? I'm sure different people have different opinions about how to do this. I suspect all 3 options here are notable, but I haven't hung out at AFD or done a lot of new article reviewing. Thoughts?

If this topic is interesting to you, feel free to help out. I won't be able to get to it for a while anyway... Thanks for your advice.

I saw you got an article featured. It's a good one. Congratulations! Larataguera (talk) 16:39, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I'll need to research a bit before I can comment if the plant or the event is notable, but this is a great tip and I'll look into it.

And thanks for noticing the Ignace Tonené article. Given your interest in mining and equity, I'm pleased you like it. It will be featured on the front page on May 30th (Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 30, 2023) so that might serve to educate more people about this relatively unknown slice of history. CT55555(talk) 17:27, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I created Washington Works CT55555(talk) 22:39, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

That's great. Thank you!! Larataguera (talk) 01:00, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Do you have any more suggestions of important things that currently lack an article? CT55555(talk) 18:32, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I could probably come up with several. Are you mostly interested in concrete topics like places and people? How about Events? Abstract concepts? Are you equally interested in expanding stubs, or do you prefer articles that still need creation?

For instance, Dupont Chambers Works is another DuPont factory that could probably have its own article [2], but is currently a redirect. Larataguera (talk) 18:51, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Do you mostly edit topics related to US and Canada? Larataguera (talk) 18:52, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I consciously try not to, but both are over represented in what I spend time editing. I prefer to edit articles about topics that are under reported. CT55555(talk) 19:05, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

That's where most of the sources are, so it's easy to get stuck there, and there are many articles in the US and Canada that do need to be written! This was part of the reason I passed Washington Works to you, actually. But if you like getting article suggestions I'm happy to make more. I just wouldn't want to make presumptions on your time.

Any thoughts on articles for PFOA contamination events? We have Water contamination in Lawrence and Morgan Counties, Alabama. That article has some information about PFOA contamination in other parts of the US under 'Related events'. I'm not sure of the best structure for this. Would PFOA contamination in Parkersburg, Virginia warrant a similar article? Or perhaps a single article should cover all of it? PFOA contamination in the US? Anyway, I'll pass on further tips if I find any that you might like. Larataguera (talk) 19:27, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I would not start an article with the title "PFOA contamination...." because I doubt anyone is seeking articles with that title. I think it is better to write about things people might likely be searching for (companies, factories, rivers, very famous events). Although careful use of redirects can solve that.

Anyway, please share any list of suggests you have and if I feel like I can write something, I will. I might also add to my offline list of articles to get to and tackle it later. So don't hesitate to share suggestions, I think we have a mutual desire to create articles about important climate/equity/pollution related topics. CT55555(talk) 19:31, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Sure. For a new article there is Big Sandy lithium mine, under development in Arizona. [3] [4]. It's an interesting one, because the developers have made an agreement with a Navajo-owned company, Navajo Transitional Energy Company, [5] but the mine is on land belonging to the Hualapai.

Is article creation important to you, or are existing stubs and redirects interesting? Larataguera (talk) 19:48, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I find it easiest to start from zero. But expanding stubs is almost as easy. The more complicated an article already is, the more difficult it is, but I care more about making sure the important information is online than anything else. CT55555(talk) 20:03, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

That makes sense. So in addition to the above, you might consider Myron Dewey [6] and [7]. I don't know about notability for people, (I almost never edit articles about people), but if he got an obit in the LA Times seems like he might make it? Most of the news coverage is related to his death. Larataguera (talk) 20:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

A good suggestion. Done: Myron Dewey CT55555(talk) 01:30, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

New articles today:

1. Cholla Canyon Ranch
2. Cofer Hot Springs
3. Big Sandy lithium mine
4. Arizona Lithium

damn you're fast Larataguera (talk) 23:25, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

One more. I might start a list in my user space for needed articles, and then you can watch that list so I don't have to bother you all the time! I'll post that list here if I do, and then you would be free to add to it (Although you write articles so fast, maybe you wouldn't need to!) There's a stub for Dairi mine. I think it might belong at Dairi Prima mine. Lead and zinc in Indonesia. [8] and [9] and [10]. Very dangerous exposure to Tailings dam failure. Plus all the usual I-don't-really-want-to-live-next-to-a-lead-mine stuff. Larataguera (talk) 22:49, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I'll keep a list here and update it occasionally as I think of things. Larataguera (talk) 23:25, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I've filled that list out a bit. I'll try to keep it up. I'd like your thoughts on integrating local social/environmental impacts into infoboxes when those impacts are well-documented and clearly salient in literature about a project. For example, Washington Works is mostly notable because events at this factory led to greater understanding of PFOA/PFAS toxicity. If it weren't for this, it would just be another factory and hardly notable. Unlike the mine infobox, the factory infobox does not have a space in which to insert the nested template I made for this purpose. Neither does Template:Infobox oil refinery. So we'd have to modify these infobox templates in order to give due weight to local impacts in specific cases where those impacts are highly notable and well documented. Many of the articles I'm proposing derive their notability from local impacts and resulting coverage of conflicts/lawsuits/etc, so I think those issues should be emphasised in lead paragraphs (which is easy) and infoboxes (which is harder). Thoughts? Larataguera (talk) 13:56, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

I've done some work today on Dairi mine and created an article on the owning company. CT55555(talk) 22:27, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Excellent, I'll have a go at that shortly. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Don't be surprised if it takes me a few weeks, but I'll fix it up. CT55555(talk) 23:46, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Awesome! I think it was created by someone participating in an edit-a-thon and they haven't been back since. I tagged it with "promising draft" which will keep it from deletion for a year so you (or anyone else) have plenty of time. S0091 (talk) 15:57, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

I've added several secondary sources and expanded the content. Ronald Caplan's wrote a whole book about her in 2020 Pearleen Oliver: Canada's Black Crusader for Civil Rights so I think that removes any doubts of her notability. Should I resubmit? CT55555(talk) 19:12, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

You can do that or go ahead and move it mainspace. I don't see a need for it to go through AfC but let me know either way what you decide to do. If AfC route, I would like to change the submitter to the creator, if you don't mind, before accepting so they get the notice or if you move it, leave the creator a note letting them know its now an article. S0091 (talk) 19:44, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Just so you know, there is no obligation a draft go through AfC even if previously declined. If you improve a draft or come across one you believe was erroneously declined (it happens...we are all humans), you are more than welcome to move them mainspace. Another option is to create a redirect which I have done for subjects that do not meet notability but are covered in another article or list. S0091 (talk) 20:11, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to COVID-19, broadly construed, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. El_C 15:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
