The importance of a friendly greeting

Hello and welcome to my talk page. If you want to start a new conversation, please click "New section" at the top of this page.

Please offer your thoughts

I would appreciate comments and suggestions on any contributions I make. I am learning.Cullen328 (talk) 03:22, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Nice work on Jules Eichorn. He's been needing an article for a while.   Will Beback  talk  06:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

If I may suggest, now that you've posted the Eichorn article the draft below might be deleted. It's your talk page to do with as you like, but it's a bit hard to edit around.

As for formatting and pictures, a good way to learn is to look around at other articles to see what you think looks best. It can be helpful to break up long blocks of text into subsections. Perhaps it'd be possible to split the biography into two or three eras. Other than that, the formatting is usually kept fairly plain. As for photos, it's easy to upload them: the trick is in finding photos with appropriate licensing. If you have any personal photos then those'd be fine. There are might be pictures of the peaks he did first ascents on in the Wikicommons. File:Cathedral Peak.png is a so-so pic of Eichorn Pinnacle.

As before, feel free to ask if you have any questions. There are several editors here who are mountaineers or just admirers of the Sierra, so you're in good company.   Will Beback  talk  21:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Your climber biographies

Hey Jim, just wanted to say welcome and thanks for your contributions to the Sierra Nevada climbing history articles. You're filling a niche that's been missing here, I look forward to working with you. --Justin (talk) 11:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll second that. Nice work on Allen Steck and welcome to Wikipedia. I don't know who you are planning to write up next but if your taking requests I think Peter Croft (climber) could really use a page. If you ever have any questions please ask. Thanks again for your great additions.--OMCV (talk) 02:25, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Justin and OMCV. I am beginning work on Tom Frost and Glen Dawson. Comments on Norman Clyde would be welcomed. I will defintely read up on Peter Croft, OMCV. I am still "learning the ropes" in Wikipedia, to use a climbing analogy, and have all sorts of things in mind. My biggest challenge right now is getting permission to use images. My next biggest challenge is hiking to the top of Mt. Whitney with my wife in ten days - she's never been above 12,000 feet except for the train ride up Pikes Peak. As she's 56 and developing arthritis in her toes, it will be an accomplishment if she (and I) complete the Class 1 feat. Jim Heaphy (talk) 02:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Debra and I made it to the summit of Mt. Whitney at 2:20 PM on Friday, September 11. Jim Heaphy (talk) 00:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Adding cover images

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your response. I fully agree with your rationale - but how do I "just do it"? I've gone to one of the image pages and tried to update the summary and licensing info (adapted from another album page from the same band), and was greeted with a rapid deletion message. The code I used was as follows:

Tendentious Editing on Dorothy Kilgallen‎

This has gone on for too long. I am about one more tendentious edit away from taking KathrynFauble to ANI and requesting a TBAN. Do you have any strong objection? -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:09, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Changing company page

Hi Jim,

I guess I've just about broken every rule there is...I realised after reading up on your helpful sections. First, I am writing about a company. It is a company I am heavily involved with.

However, I am not attempting to alter anything in a biased way but rather add historical events to the page and also reflect a change of ownership that took place 7th of March 2016. All this is visible on the page I altered but I don't seem to be able to move the page. The company is Strunal CZ, as which now is called Strunal Schönbach s.r.o.

I found a help section which showed a simple way of moving the page. Brilliant I thought. Then I don't have to recreate a new page for the same company as it has only changed owners and name but still does exactly the same as before. All the staff are the same, location the same although there is a new logo.

Is there a way of changing the "name" of the page to reflect the current real name or does it have to be done "the hard way".

Thank you very much in advance for your help and assistance.

P.S. I've contacted the user that originally created the page but have as of yet not received a response.

Kind regards, J-P. Olsen — Preceding unsigned comment added by TherealJPO (talk • contribs) 18:21, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Traditional Sports Of India

Traditional Sports Of India is about to be speedy deleted. You can help by contacting the newbie editor. I would like to have the information in Wikipedia, but there are several problems to be overcome. Please don't bite the newbies. But we do!--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:13, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello Dthomsen8. I see that the article has been deleted as an unambiguous copyright violation. As one of the most active Teahouse hosts, I try to keep "biting the newbies" to an absolute minimum. However, we have strong policy and legal reasons to delete copyright violations immediately. Someone who violated copyright out of ignorance may feel bitten if the violation gets deleted promptly but then on the other hand, they must learn this particular lesson if they are to have any hope of success as a Wikipedia editor. I do not know which newbie created the copyright infringing article, but if they asked me how to proceed, I would recommend that they read, study and follow the recommendations in Your first article, and I would try to offer that advice in a friendly, helpful way. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

So there is no way to provide the information in that article without doing a lot of research and writing a new article free of copyright problems? That is more than I have the energy and time to do. Thank you for your prompt response.--DThomsen8 (talk) 19:08, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

DThomsen8, the content, except for a few brief cited quotations, needs to be written in the editor's own words. See WP:COPYVIO for a discussion of this issue. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:33, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Chicago Boulevard System

Greetings Jim! How are you? Oh, and I just noticed for the first time that people may call you Jim as well, my apologizes! Anyway, should you have some time, perhaps you can have a quick look at the Chicago Boulevard System article? Before my edits (that shrunk the article to one sentence), the article looked like this. I tried to provide though, as clear Edit Summaries as possible, and they can be seen here. The rationale in brief:

1. Some of the material was backed up by primary sources
2. Some of the sources simply failed to verify the material in the article
3. Some of the paragraphs were not connected with the article topic (i.e. none of the sources even referred to the material that was deleted)

So, as a result of the source-check, there is only one sentence left. I also searched for the "Chicago Boulevard System", but only ended up with two potential sources: "Villaire (2011): Best Bike Rides Chicago", and "Thompson-Stahr (2001): The Burling Books: Ancestors and Descendants of Edward and Grace Burling, Quakers (1600-2000)". I am not satisfied with either one, and especially the latter is more of an memorial about the 1800's. Actually, the more I have dug into the topic, the less convinced I am that such a term as the "Chicago Boulevard System" would even exist established. Indeed, the terminology is quite diverse, and, many of the sources discuss like a) "Chicago Park Boulevard System Historic District", b) "Logan Square Boulevards Historic District", or c) "Chicago's historic Park Boulevard System", all of which have slightly different meaning.

Chicago is a city that consists of a lot of parks, boulevards, park districts, and boulevard districts. Some of them remain well-documented (such as the "Logan Square Boulevards Historic District" mentioned above), but I am not entirely convinced if this very term, the "Chicago Boulevard System" should merit its own article.

The article was created in 8 March 2016, which means that it is quite a new one. I'd love to hear your opinion Jim! Cheers! Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 06:18, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Extended content

Hello, Jayaguru-Shishya. I apologize for being slow to respond. I have had some eye problems in recent days, which, after a couple of visits to a doctor, fortunately turned out to be less serious than I feared.

I do not know Chicago in detail since I have only visited there twice (other than changing planes), and both visits were brief. However, I see plenty of references in a Google search to the "Chicago boulevard system", including a map published by the city. It seems that 19th century Chicago city planners created a system of parks linked by a network of broad landscaped boulevards reminiscent of Paris. I think that it is likely that study of books about the history of Chicago city planning would allow a much more comprehensive article to be written. Maybe not all of this material would use the exact term but is still applicable to the article. This is not a project that I am willing to take on, since I have so little personal experience with Chicago. Sometimes it is best to be cautious about removing content unless you have good evidence that it is erroneous or misleading. Policy requires that contentious content be supported by reliable sources, not every single thing. It is always better to improve sourcing than to remove non-contentious content. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, Jim! Oh, I am sorry to hear that... I hope you are getting alright by now! :-O

Anyway, I understand your point. There's a similar problem at Chicago#Parks and Greenspace with the second paragraph that was recently introduced to the article. As you said, perhaps not all the material does use the exact term (Chicago Boulevard System), but at the moment the terminology is justified by an image of a city map[1], and a TV-program description[2]. Moreover, I think Chicago is rather a well-established article, and therefore we would need some better sourcing to justify the addition's place in the article. The previous paragraph is well-sourced, and it already discusses the "Chicago Park District", a concept way more established than the "Chicago Boulevard System".

Heh, did you notice how cunningly I moved your attention from one article to another? ;-) Cheers! Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 11:12, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

LED wallpaper as neologism

Dear Jim, I am pretty new to Wikipedia and I have recently submitted a new article that was declined as considered neologism. I am an expert on LED technology and in recent years I have been especially researching into the field of innovative use of light-emitting diodes for interior decoration. I have recently submitted an article on LED wallpaper for review, but unfortunately it was declined as it constitutes a neologism and the reviser felt the references I have been using don't prove the notability of the subject. Of course the use of LEDs applied to wall covering substrates is a fairly recent development and the literature on the topic is still scarce. However, many important companies and designers have been exploring these possibilities and some have turned it into an actual product available for commercial purchase. My question is, would this topic be more suitable as a sub-section of the wider Wallpaper topic? Do you have any advise at this regard? I hope this is the right place to ask for your advise, if not please accept my apologies. Tenko82 (talk) 10:20, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to the Teahouse, Tenko82. How extensive is the discussion of "LED wallpaper" in reliable sources unconnected with companies developing such a product? That determines whether the topic is notable. As for adding a section to Wallpaper, how important is this niche product idea to the entire history of wallpaper? If it is a narrow niche development, then discussing it there might be an issue of undue weight. Do general books about wallpaper published recently discuss it? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 23:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

I see that Meystyle is already discussed in Wallpaper. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 23:35, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Missouri Country Music Hall of Fame

Hi, Jim,

Glad to meet you, and am grateful for your offer to help. Am attempting to submit my first effort at writing a Wikipedia article on "The Missouri Country Music Hall of Fame," which was declined for lack of notability. I understand Bradv's decision on that because -- inspite of the existing 28 references (now 30) -- I also thought it needed more. And, there were actually 70 online references to my article that I had hoped to cull from a review button afforded me during the Wikipedia editing process. That button is gone now, as is the access to those 70 references.

Am unable to recall exactly where I found that review button, but there were actually two of them, both designed to support me in making a better article. Do you by chance know which buttons I am referring to, and if so, would you please help me access them once again?

Also, is it possible, in your opinion, that the question of notability may have been impaccted by the fact that the MCMHF has been inactive since 2007 when its founder was diagnosed with cancer, to which he succumbed October 2015? And, would it matter that efforts are in the works to restart the Missouri Country Music Hall of Fame mission?

On its own merit, the attempt for the Wikipedia article is to validate the current inductees, who have earned the honor with their lifelong efforts, as well as to encourage the art of country music within the state of Missouri, where Branson has become the "Capital of Classic Country."

Would be open to your honest and direct input.

Thank you, Jim.

PS My first name is Marcia, but you can call me Pierce, or Canterbury, or Pierce Canterbury, if you would like. Thank you.Pierce Canterbury (talk) 18:01, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Pierce Canterbury, also known as Marcia. It is the depth of coverage in high quality sources that establishes notability, not the number of sources. In other words, three or four solid sources are far better than 70 mediocre sources. Reviewers may find it suspicious that most of your references are not available online, and those that are available just mention the topic in passing, rather than devoting significant coverage to it. My own search for sources yielded nothing of substance. Have major newspapers in St. Louis or Kansas City covered this hall of fame in depth? Have major country music publications covered it in depth? Unless you can produce evidence of such coverage, then the topic is not notable in Wikipedia's terms.

I do not know anything about the missing button you mentioned. I have never heard of such a thing.

A period of inactivity does not affect notability. Once a topic such as an organization is notable, it remains notable even if it stops operations. Notability is not temporary. I hope this helps. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 23:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Please also be aware that Wikipedia does not exist to validate, encourage or honor anyone or anything. This is a neutral encyclopedia that summarizes what reliable sources say about notable topics. Experienced editors frown on any hint of promotionalism. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:04, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Jim,

Thank you for your comments on neutrality, notability and references. So glad for your input, and assistance. I will probably do a little more research to see if I can fulfill the notability requirements, and then decide from there how to proceed. Guess I should ask what happens to declined articles that remain dormant for a time. If this is not possible now, would probably like to revisit this later depending on the future of the Hall of Fame...

Again, Jim, thank you for your help. It's been a pleasure.Pierce Canterbury (talk) 15:15, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

I removed this dead link and the contents supported by the source (although the source isn't dead as at the time I added it). I have also notify User:Irondome. Thank you.

A recently deleted AfD you participated in

Hey Cullen. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zen Cho was created by a sock of what I imagine is a banned user, who I have blocked and flushed as many of his contributions as I could. I didn't see that you had participated until after I had already deleted the discussion.

All the best. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Hey, Bongwarrior, I appreciate your inquiry, but I have no problem with your actions in this case.

How to avoid dead link

Hi Cullen,

I trust you're fine.

During my article cleanup, I discovered some of the link I added to articles as sources when the article was created are now dead. I want to avoid that problem in the future, so I want to use web.archive.org. I don't want to lose where these sources are archived in case the links go dead in the future. How is the use of archived sources usually done on Wikipedia? Can I place the links to the archived sources on the talk page of each article so they can be easily found when needed?

Hello Cullen. Appreciate you giving Wc a more precise answer than mine. Just checking in with you, and confirming my assistance in helping out regarding Wikicology. In addition I suggest the assistance of Monochrome_Monitor, a successful mentoree who is highly capable and I believe would be willing to assist. Wikicology has been very pro-active in revisiting his previous work, and I am more and more convinced that he is of GF and is here to help the project. Please keep in touch. Regards, Simon, aka Irondome (talk) 02:21, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Irondome. Thanks for checking in. If ArbCom agrees to allow Wikicology to clean up his articles under a mentorship, then it will be great to have a team of three (or more) mentors working with him. I hope that Monochrome_Monitor will make their willingness to help with this known to ArbCom. Like you, I am grateful that Wikicology is already working to clean things up. I am always willing to answer any questions he has, both on and off Wikipedia. In all my recent off-Wikipedia communications with him (we are Facebook friends), I have encouraged honesty, forthrightness and contrition. I will be ready to begin active mentoring when ArbCom makes its decision. Until then, I feel it best for me to respond to any inquiries but not to actively engage in mentoring. I truly wish our friend Wikicology well, whatever the outcome. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:41, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

I would definitely help in any way I could. But I'd need to know exactly what I would be helping with, since my powers of telepathy don't work at a distance. --Monochrome_Monitor 13:50, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Looking for some pointers..

Hi Jim,

I recently got the notification of "Proposed for deletion" and would like your thoughts on what I should add. It is an article on my grandfather who is on his last few days... I have more than adequate material on him and I feel that he is a true military hero and grew up listening and watching soldiers come and thank him for saving their life and being an amazing commander. I added what I could from a few links but wonder where to go next, be it family be it that he was literally the model for the 1945-1950s USMC recruiting poster or what.

Any and all direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_W_steadman

Hello, Mikeweiland. It is difficult for a grandson to write a neutral Wikipedia article about his grandfather. Here are a few things to keep in mind: There is a strong presumption that generals and Medal of Honor winners are notable. That presumption does not exist for colonels and Silver Star winners. If an article is to stay, it must summarize what reliable, independent, secondary sources have written about your grandfather. The medal citations are promary sourcea which by themselves do not establish notabity. You cannot include any personal anecdotes or information you have learned as a family member. That material is not verifiable, even if it may be true in the abstract. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)|

Hello, Sorry if that came across as whining. I have been learning the ropes for the last few months quite extensively. As I'm currently in a physical condition were all I can do most of the time is sit at the PC. As a result I've had a very quick baptism of fire about various WP issues, debates, consensus, etc; and this is something that I've come across. That is really painstaking to deal with I've noticed. I've learnt my lesson from hard experiences about editing a page. Especially without consensus first. So yeah, frustrating.

Romeo Mancini

Hi Jim,

I have writing you about the draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Romeo_Mancini

Thank you very much for helping me out with the "citation need" which I have done and even more in the other parts. I have been told, as you read as well, that the entire tone it is not ok,starting from the first phrase that is not formal enough, like a story. "In the years before the outbreak of the Second World War, Mancini attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Perugia. There, Mancini studied and met another student who also became an artist, Leoncillo Leonardi." I guess I need help to get through this, because I can't really see where the informal tone here is. Could you please help me? Thank you very much Anna Lisa --Anna Lisa33 (talk) 09:12, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jim, Thank you so so much for helping me out with the editing. I have now followed all your advises where was written citation needed I have filled it in. About the artworks names I have translated them into English. There is just one sentence that I would like to take out at the very beginning "at the end of the war Mancini returned to Perugia". I have read a script that he wrote about it, about being in the mountains that I have mentioned on the notes, but he actually doesn't mention how long he stayed, and wouldn't be correct to say that at the end of the war he went back, they stayed for a while, he doesn't say how long and I have problems to mention it since I do not have the correct months of 1943 or beginning of 1944, but it is sure that he went, as it is mentioned as well on the catalogue on him.

Could you please have a look into it and tell me if it is ok for you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Romeo_Mancini
