Revision as of 23:29, 23 January 2010

Melbourne, FL

I put the section back in, mainly because although a bit gaudy it was all true, and all seemed to be valid articles.

Perhaps get rid of the arrows, move to the back?

The Georgia Page

Actually, now that I think about it, I went to the Georgia page and went through the links of the major cities. When I went to each cities page I checked out there metro status and Macon came in third behind Atlanta and Augusta.

Dated cleanup tags

Hi, thanks for your message, SmackBot does not generally add tags, but merely dates those that are already there. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 12:11 7 August 2007 (GMT).

Catholic Churches

You offered some comments last week about a proposed deletion of Incarnation Catholic Church and School (Glendale, California). You correctly noted that the article was rough, as it had just been started. I have been preparing articles on some of the significant parishes in Los Angeles and wondered if you'd have a few minutes to take a look and make suggestions on format, content, info boxes, etc. One of your notes indicated that the number of members was key data, and I agree, but do you know of any verifiable source to determine membership for Catholic parishes? Examples of the parishes I have so far created articles for are: St. Andrew's Catholic Church, Pasadena, St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church, St. Charles Borromeo Church (North Hollywood), and St. Finbar Catholic Church and School (Burbank, California).

Brandywine

Brandywine is a general disambiguation page (which Brandywine Creek and Brandywine River) point to.

I went through all the Brandywine references and updated them to point to the appropriate articles. There were and are many pages referring to either "Brandywine Creek" or "Brandywine River" and not necessarily pointing to the correct one.

"Brandywine River" can refer to: "Brandywine Creek (Christina River)" or "Brandywine Creek (Cuyahoga River)". or the fictional (Hobbit/Rings Trilogy) Middle Earth river.

"Brandywine Creek" refers to at least 25 different ones in the U.S.

(5) Brandywine in British Columbia, (2) Brandywine in Nova Scotia, and more outside of North America ...

Rivers are officially disambiguated by their downstream_parent, for instance Brandywine (Christina River), only when that fails, then a reasonable civil sub-division. See WikiProject Rivers for more details.

If you undo my updates, you are on your own...

Charles Adams

I am not particularly familiar with Vermont but I try to edit pages with correct links, sources, etc. Adams' page says the town so it has been fixed to that. Any correction to my corrections can be made. Thanks for the thanks!

Burlington edit series

I'm quite unsure what to make of this series of edits; would you check it out? Nyttend (talk) 03:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I have a couple of questions: (1) Why do you think that college sports for a school in Burlington are inappropriate to mention at the city article? Many larger cities without major professional sports mention their college sports teams. (2) Is the Burlington/Plattsburg ferry the one you'd travel if you were coming east from Lake Placid? I went that way on a family vacation several years before I was in college (the worst part of our trip: the hot dog stand where we ate lunch took so long that we missed the ferry and had to wait hours for the next!), the only time I've been to Vermont.

Deletion review for Euclid D. Farnham

USAA

Greetings. If you check the source of the IP address, 167.24.24.150, who's edits you reverted on USAA, it resolves to USAA itself. So they might need to be warned about {{COI}}. Cheers! --Nsaum75 (talk) 23:20, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - - -

Nsaum, I didn't do the revert but do have a reply to your COI remark: 1. Being from a company and editing the blog entry are not necessarily a COI 2. There are up to 2 thousand contractors in the USAA building, so a USAA IP address does not equal to an employee

- - - - - -

The changes from SSA to SA are correct, maybe not verifyable, but correct. Time will prove this to be true.

I understand that wikipedia has prioritized authentication over correctness/fact. All wikipedia readers and editors should be aware of this necessary flaw in wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.152.104.158 (talk) 15:50, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Winooski

Just curious why you think the dome thing needed to be pared back — in my mind, the city official's continue defense of the idea helps to explain why they were considering building it in the first place. Nyttend (talk) 05:18, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Student7. Just to let you know that I checked out the ref, and Maj. Hassan was, indeed, born in Arlington. --Tim Sabin (talk) 15:27, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hugh Beringar

Hi, Student7! Regarding your addition of "deputy" to Sheriff Beringar's portrayal in the Cadfael movies: is he always portrayed as deputy sheriff in the movies? Because in the books he is promoted from deputy sheriff to acting sheriff in "Dead Man's Ransom"; he is later confirmed by King Stephen as the Sheriff of Shrewsbury, and that is his position for the rest of the series. --MelanieN (talk) 17:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Pope Sixtus I

Actually, the Saints banner was incorporated into the Christianity banner. I would probably have incorporated the Vatican banner into Christianity as well, but some of the artworks and whatever that are in the Vatican have little if anything to do with Christianity, so I kept it separate. John Carter (talk) 17:54, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Listers

Thanks for the explanation; I reverted because the IP never changed "Lister" to "Listers", and changing to plural is a simple enough thing to do and see that I assumed that it was vandalism. If I remember rightly, there can easily be multiple selectmen, so I didn't see that as suspicious. Of course, if a source had been provided, I wouldn't have reverted. Nyttend (talk) 22:21, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

new bible verse references look nice. But

YOU WROTE:

The new bible verse references look nice. But, if I recall, the old ones used to appear on my screen when I scrolled over them. I have to actually select the new ones to read them. This is a drawback IMO.

Re: Indian Christianity

Hi! No. I'm a Brit; I have some sympathy with the religion; I know one Indian Catholic priest. That's the limit of my expertise. I came across the article while trawling WP:Uncategorized pages, and I though the WikiProject most concerned might want to get a look-in before I took it to AfD. Best wishes. Philip Trueman (talk) 14:19, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help?

Hi, Student7! You have helped me with wikistuff before, I hope you can figure out what is going on with an article I follow. The article is Rockridge, Oakland, California. For some reason while I was editing a recent change, the "references tag needed" error flag appeared. It showed up when I previewed my changes before saving. I hadn't changed the existing tag, which was { { reflist } } (without the spaces, obviously) and neither had the previous editor, so I can't imagine why it was suddenly demanding a tag which had been there all along and was still there. I tried replacing the { { reflist } } tag with a < references / > tag, but it still wasn't happy. Changing back to { { reflist } } doesn't work either. I am baffled. Can you figure out what it wants? Thanks for any help! --MelanieN (talk) 16:49, 27 November 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Never mind! Somebody fixed it. The problem was that I hadn't properly formatted a comment I added, and that messed up the references tag. --MelanieN (talk) 21:47, 27 November 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

(This from an editor who suggested that a section be deleted. I noticed his suggestion, agreed with him (it was subtle - I might not have caught it myself). So I deleted it. He reverted it! I complained on the talk page and thus this!) Student7 (talk) 16:24, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Florida water quality

Hi, Student7. I wanted you to know why I'm about to rvt your statement, newly added to Florida Department of Environmental Protection about half of Florida's waterways being rated as poor. As far as I know, the statement is true, and you have a reasonable ref for it. I'm reverting it because the DEP article is the wrong place for it. One could stretch things, I suppose, and add a section to the DEP article on "Important findings or decisions", but, really, this sort of information belongs in the state article or some article dealing with the state's environment or waters in general (if there is such an article).

Template:USLargestMetros

Thanks for your edit to the template, I dont do much research on the San Diego Area so I did not get that, once again thanks! House1090 (talk) 00:45, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jacobite Syrian Church

The history always is written by victors. History is not objective but subjective. If a Syro Malabar Catholic write Indian Syrian Church history it will have a Catholic perspective, if a Syriac Orthodox Christian write it, it will have a catholic perspective. So I am against a template of common history for all the Syrian Churches in India. No Syrian Church in India agree on a thing in history other than the arrival of St. Thomas ;-D

So what I was planning to do was to write a history myself adding references later. Sorry for not commenting in the summary. I hope you understand.

-ܠܝܓܘ Liju ലിജു לג"ו (talk) 14:10, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also an accurate study on the history of the church in India is impossible because there are not enough evidences on the pre-colonial years. Most even destroyed or set to file during the inquisition by Aleixo de Menezes. Even colonial writing are biased. Portugese say that the Catholic church ruled over Indian Syrians, but Protestant Claudius buchanan says that they were ruled by Antiochian Patriarch. -ܠܝܓܘ Liju ലിജു לג"ו (talk) 14:14, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah thats a good idea to have both sides in the history, but the problem is that there more than 2 sides. The Syro Malabar church has one version, Syriac Orthodox Church has one, Indian Orthodox Church has one version, Chaldean Orthodox Church has one, So does Marthoma church

but lets try for a good common history. Hope it will happen. -ܠܝܓܘ Liju ലിജു לג"ו (talk) 07:19, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Its alright ;-D! -06:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mediation

Hello, Student7.

I've read your recent message, but I wonder whether I'm really the intended recipient.

If I am, then let me know and tell me why you think I might be of assistance.

Yes, I'm sorry I won't be able to help. My interaction with that editor was as limited as it gets. Time concerns would also prevent me from participating, besides.

I do suggest you ask an administrator to warn him—in case you haven't yet—before requesting mediation. Again, good luck to you. SamEV (talk) 01:38, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on Common History Saint Thomas Christians

I hope you remember about the discussions on common articles about Saint Thomas Christians. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian Christianity#About the articles on Saint Thomas Christians common history

I have some time to work on this and hope you can help with this. Please suggest best way to do this. All the common articles has mis quotations and need complete revision.Pamparam (talk) 07:36, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestions. I will go here with what you suggested. Lets put the new format in Sandbox and evaluate sentence by sentence.Pamparam (talk) 05:14, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I dont have any problems with Neduvelilmathew or some of the other old editors of all these articles. I know its difficult to arrive at consensus but the current state is very faulty. I have copies of many books referenced in these articles and can guarantee that the sources has been mis referenced not done by any one in particular but has just happened with all edits. Anyways we have waited for long for suggestions in common articles and we does can give time to evaluate this sentence by sentence. Pamparam (talk) 09:01, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Brattleboro, Vermont help

Would you please help me at Brattleboro, Vermont? A user keeps adding Brian Akey to the list of residents; I removed him because his article says nothing of it, so the user began adding Brattleboro — without any sources whatsoever — to his article. I've issued a warning to the editor, but I've hit 3RR, and I don't think this is significant enough that this falls under the BLP exemption from 3RR, so would you please intervene? Nyttend (talk) 03:26, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, after I left the note, I realised that you hadn't edited for some days, so I asked another New England editor, Jameslwoodward; he took care of it. Thanks for getting back to me; I had begun to wonder if you'd decided to leave Wikipedia for some reason. Nyttend (talk) 23:07, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nazrani Evolution

Dear Student 7,

Hope you are following the discussion on File talk:Nazrani Evolution,jpg. It seems that Liju Jacob, Pamparam, and Rahuljohnson4u are quarrelling over the history of the Saint Thomas Christians. If they don’t read and study the references given, or study the official records written during that period on this subject, either they will go on quarelling or they will be able to come out with a new History for the Saint Thomas Christians, claiming that that one is the correct history. I doubt whether all articles that appear on the internet are true. .Neduvelilmathew (talk) 17:44, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have complete opposite opinion. Here what are the official records of 16th and 17th century ? Who has published those information ? Anglicans came only in the middle of 19th century and they are not any sources for prior periods when there are primary sources of 16th and 17th century exist. The only way is evaluate sentence by sentence for each statements.Pamparam (talk) 05:40, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you look at new article?

Hi, Student! If you have time would you please take a look at a new article I wrote, Old Town, San Diego, California, and see if you have any improvements or suggestions? I have nominated the article for a "Did you know..." and you can look at that nomination too if you like, it's at "articles created December 20." Thanks and have a great holiday! --MelanieN (talk) 15:04, 24 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Thanks for adding the banners to the article. That's a process that is a total mystery to me.
About Did You Know, you ought to try it, it's simple - and they accept pretty much any nomination if it meets the criteria for length, citations, etc. It has to be a NEW artiicle, nominated within a week of being created or expanded x5. I don't know who does the checking and approving, presumably an administrator; there isn't usually much if any discussion. Anyone including the creator of the article can nominate. I found out about the process quite by accident when somebody nominated my article about Bejun Mehta. This one if accepted will be my third DYK!
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! --MelanieN (talk) 17:06, 25 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Re: San Diego County Indian reservations

All supporting data for my addition to the article can be found at the Census Bureau's American Factfinder page. One can find the area, population, county of location for each individual Indian reservation here. This will take a little time to assemble, as each reservation has to be selected individually, and there a some 315 or so Indian reservations. Once the list has been assembled (into spreadsheet form), one merely has to count the reservations which fall into your particular county of concern, in this case San Diego County, California. My use of the word "only" was in relative to the general size of California reservations (much smaller, although, just count 'em!, very numerous) when compared to those across the nation. A full listing of the sizes of all reservations will reveal that California reservations are relatively much smaller than those of most other areas, particularly those of the desert and Great Plains states. That was what the word "only" referred to. It was not my opinion of what I thought their size should be; it was only their relative size compared to those in other states. Backspace (talk) 20:33, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Valletta

Please be aware it is spelled "Valletta". And I see no such consistency in similar articles. Quite the contrary! And even then, that doesn't justify its use in this context... surely a digression on various locations which are not exclusively "landmarks" nor essentially "cultural" (as amorphous as that is) deserves better consideration.

Speedy Deletion notice on Northeast Kingdom Community Action

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Northeast Kingdom Community Action requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Weaponbb7 (talk) 00:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits to the Mississippi article, though I won't revert them, seem a bit misplaced. Comments are not meant to go into the text of an article. If you'd like to discuss anything about certain sections, phrasings, etc. in an article, use the talk page of the article to do so... especially when the comments are simply your opinions about those sections. Normally HTML comments are only used in templates or infoboxes to alert editors to special circumstances or other reasons that don't pertain to the actual text of the article. I won't undo the changes, but I suggest moving these comments over to the talk page for further discussion.

As far as the actual comments themselves, I wrote most of the religion section myself, and I assure you the text sticks to the references. A good portion of the section comes from this link about religious history in Mississippi, wherein most of the facts you claim to be fanciful are clearly laid out. Biracial churches did exist before the civil war, and there were many calls for social equality long before the civil rights movement of the 1960s/70s. I would suggest reading the article linked and the others cited in that section for a more complete version of religious history in the state instead of assuming you know more than the well-versed historians that have written these sources. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 23:31, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FAQ

The FAQ at the Muhammad article is on its own subpage: Talk:Muhammad/FAQ and transcluded to the main talk page in the same way that a template is used: {{Talk:Muhammad/FAQ}} You can look at that subpage to see the code they used to create collapsable sections. Regards, Resolute 14:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh. I wasn't part of making that FAQ, but like most everything else, it tries to reflect consensus. You can probably draft one for your other article yourself, then seek input from other regulars on the talk page to ensure it reflects what you are trying to say before transcluding it to the talk page. Resolute 15:40, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NEKCA

Please don't add a {{hangon}} or other deletion-related templates to Northeast Kingdom Community Action -- that article is no longer a candidate for speedy deletion. Only articles that have a pending deletion template on them should have {{hangon}} added. By doing this, you actually put the article back into the speedy deletion category and invite administrators to review it again. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:11, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed addition to Ralph Flanders

Dear Student7:

I concur with your concern about an earlier addition that violated WP:SOAPBOX. Please look over what I have proposed in Talk:Ralph_Flanders#Continued_Influence_on_Vermont_Political_Thought. I suggest that it is appropriate to report Flanders's continuing influence on the political thought of current Vermont politicians.

Sincerely, User:HopsonRoad 02:28, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for your advice, Student7. Perhaps you could survey my implementation and help me with Harvard references 82 and 84—they don't link from Notes to References under Others. Ref 83 works fine!
    Additionally, in my attempt to restore the linking of References 25, 45, and 46, a spurious "/" showed up. Perhaps you can help make that go away, yet maintain the link! User:HopsonRoad 16:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How do I nominate an article for deletion?

I'm trying to delete an article about a non-notable school and I don't seem to be doing it right. I tried following the instructions at WP:Articles for deletion. I pasted the template { { subst:afd1 } } at the top of the page and tried "preview" to see if it had worked. But instead of just the "nominated for deletion" notice, a bunch of other instructions appeared below the notice, and that didn't look right, so I didn't save the page. Have you done this before? Is that normal?

The page I want to delete is Albert Einstein Academy Charter School, a K-8 charter school within San Diego Unified, that doesn't seem particularly notable. I understand that high schools are pretty much assumed to be notable but lower schools have to establish their notability, and this one hasn't. Any advice?

Re: Pasadena

Thanks for reviewing my edits.

I would caution against being overzealous in applying WP:TOPIC. Certainly there are gray areas in virtually any statements so I am not saying there is always a clear right or wrong. But by trying too hard to focus on an article's topic you can a) potentially loose valuable context in explaining the material, and b) potentially imply something misleading by avoiding mentioning other things that might be involved. There is nothing seriously problematic with your edits although I would make the observation that some readers might interpret your wording to mean that ALL of the refugees who abandoned Galveston moved to Pasadena. Not a major misunderstanding if they did, though.

Actually I dont think i will do that. Its better if we have it done and then post it. This is controversal, not a lot of people agree with this article, it will be easier for it to get deleted like that. WIki has no deadline, we should work on it and have it well done before the public takes a look at it. Its simply not ready. I honestly, if I saw the article as it is now I would want it deleted. Lets work on it so it can be presentable, it will be an important article, so we cant have it less than 1/2 done. House1090 (talk) 22:16, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Work on the sandbox, and if you do work there, something big I might move the page. Also San Diego vs Huntsville? You got to be kinding me, SD will have way more traffic, so admins and other users will most likely complain. Lets just work on it there for now okay.

Other users like myself prefer the sandbox, instead of fighting this contribute to the article so we can make it available to the public as soon as possible. House1090 (talk) 01:15, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

regarding tibet

All reputable western governments and media outlets regard tibet as a province of China. They only want to highlight the fact that tibet is under oppression (which is unfortunately true). However, in terms of territory, all sources count tibet within China, this includes CIA Factbook. If tibet is excluded, China loses 1/4 of its current area size. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jc900 (talkcontribs) 04:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Ur

Hi, Student7.

If it had been just the spelling change from "colured" to "colored", I doubt I'd have bothered reverting, even though his edit would still have been wrong. It was the vandalism below that. Take another look at the diff; you'll see that he added a couple of sentences claiming that his tomb is there, in Ur: [2] He inserted his name in another article, too. I don't know what variety of English Ur uses. I'm not sure I've read all of it; if I did I don't remember that info. If you want to give a try, take a look at Category:Varieties of English templates. Good luck. SamEV (talk) 17:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
