Help finding a source

Hi Magicpiano,

In a couple of articles about José Pablo Moncayo, I have seen references to "Tello 1987".

I have not been able to find a publication by a Tello from 1987. Apparently, there is a biography by a Tello from a decade later (1997) but I have not been successful at verifying that reference either. Would you have some advice for me?

By the way, what I *actually* want to establish is whether Moncayo actually played at a theater named Teatro Orientación in 1936 or not.

Looks like you have some experience editing Wikipedia and doing this kind of research. Hope you can give me some tips or guidance.

When you see short citations (like "Tello 1987"), you should look for a bibliography at the end of the article. If you look at the bottom of the article on José Pablo Moncayo, you will find the Tello source listed in the section headed "Selected Sources Consulted", including its title and ISBN.

William Russell

I'm glad you messaged me about the GA review for William Russell. I'm still getting my feet wet at this level of involvement, and I thought my involvement was over with my review. I believe I have now backed up my review with a reclassification to "GA". I still don't see how to remove the GA nomination from the portal page, but I'm not going to lose sleep over that matter. I'll fix that as required. Bill McKenna (talk) 23:31, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Drafts

Just a quick note on the subject of Drafts.

I was just going through a few drafts I created over the last couple years. Last December I had created a draft for Draft:Ram Point when it was added to the NRHP. I didn't move it to the mainspace because I don't like creating articles based on just one or two refs. As I was going through the drafts today, I figured I might as well move it despite my reservations. To my surprise, one had already been created -- nearly the same article, the day after I created the draft. (I say "nearly the same" not to insinuate anything, of course -- just to distinguish from those cases when someone starts an article from scratch because the available draft is so poor or inadequate that it would just be scrapped rather than built upon).

Please click the box pointing to a draft when creating a new article :/ — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:07, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Map

Hello. I want to remake a map in my book American Colonies by Alan Taylor, which shows North American European settlements in 1700. It's a great map, as it shows actual settlement areas shaded, and not "claims" or "charters" (later states). I have very little experience in this, and I have seen you make good maps, so I wonder if you could aid? :) Have a good day!--Simen113 (talk) 07:15, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Why do you keep reverting my edits on this page... I am the original author and am making corrections... ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anchorage24 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Because, as I indicated in both the edit summaries and on your talk page, your edits were badly breaking the formatting of the page. When you do wholesale damage to the page, I'm not going to try to rescue your modifications. You need to learn how to integrate your changes into the existing page without breaking wikilinks and other formatting. You may find parts of this page useful in guiding your editing.

Bot help

Dudemanfellabra tells me that you and TheCatalyst31 (ping link, so she knows I asked you as well) have been doing oversight for NationalRegisterBot. Do you have experience with bot programming, and if so, could you try to help with something? WP:BOTR#Copy_coordinates_from_lists_to_articles; I'll run it by WT:NRHP if someone thinks they can help, but I'm not bothering with a project discussion unless I know that someone is willing to try, since it would be annoying to have project approval and then find that nobody's interested in helping. Nyttend (talk) 02:06, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Replying here to keep the discussion in one place. While I'd be willing to help out some, I wouldn't be comfortable taking on all or most of a project like this; I learned Javascript pretty recently, and I'd rather not take on bot projects until I have more experience with using it for smaller stuff with a higher tolerance for mistakes. Also, since I'm sure this will come up in a BRFA if we find a volunteer and the project approves; how do we know there aren't any sites with correct coordinates in the article but incorrect coordinates in the list, rather than the other way around? If nobody's gone through the list but someone who just saw the article fixed the coordinates based on that, the bot would be overwriting good coordinates with bad ones. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 04:51, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

I've carefully noted the items that I have not fixed (typically because no nomination is available), and those places I'll include in the list of items to ignore. Only places that I know I've checked are going to be submitted; the only ways we can have errors is if I've actively made a mistake, whether finding the wrong place or making a typo. Nyttend (talk) 12:32, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

I am (as of this writing) not particularly conversant in the MediaWiki API, and am limiting work on improving some aspects of NationalRegisterBot until I've had a chance to study it further. I do not feel comfortable contributing to this effort at this time, although there is a good idea at its center. A bot run that can flag discrepant coordinates (between list, article, NRIS (if applicable) and Wikidata (if applicable)) is a good idea; deciding how to resolve the discrepancies is a more nuanced problem. The basic data gather might be doable within the NationalRegisterBot framework (for all lists), or within the framework of Dudeman's NRHPstats script (for a single list). Magic♪piano 13:16, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Understood, and thanks for considering it. However, merely flagging them would be useless — the large majority of Virginia NR sites have discrepancies, because I've modified the large majority of coords. Most weren't exactly errors (e.g. off by one second or one-half second of latitude or longitude), but of course a bot can't distinguish between a slight improvement and a big fix. What's needed is a bot to replace the old with the new, except for pages with not-verified coords or pages with multiple list coords, e.g. multi-county sites.

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Harwich split

I saw your edit to the progress table - is there any reason those four articles shouldn't just be merged back into the main Barnstable County list? Splitting four articles from a list of 117 seems fairly pointless, especially since Harwich isn't even close to having the second-most listings in the county. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 01:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Well, I think it's a bit extreme. But I also wanted to use it as an opportunity to test procedures for updating NationalRegisterBot (whose code has a structure mimicking the file structure of listings, which needs to be changed if there are splits or merges). Magic♪piano 12:07, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Would you know how to find longitude and latitude?

I tried for Fulton–Mock–Blackmer House but it didn't work.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:35, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

If you can locate the building in Google Maps, right-click and select "What's here". This will give you a decimalized lat/lon. Magic♪piano 16:01, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

You knew where the building was located when you responded to an earlier question of mine. I'm not familiar with how Google Maps works.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:07, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

When I responded to your comment on Dudeman's talk page, you made reference to an edit to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Rowan County, North Carolina, in which you added the West Square Historic District, with an address of Fulton and Innes. I have no idea where the house you mention is located; if it is at Fulton and Innes, then you can navigate Google Maps to that area, and acquire coordinates as I described above. (There are probably similar ways to do the same thing in other online mapping tools.) Magic♪piano 16:15, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

It is at Fulton and Innes. Actually, a bank branch is there but the house is behind the bank. Since I have faster Internet at home now than I once did, maybe I can try this.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:22, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
