Thursday, West Virginia

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Thursday, West Virginia, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Thursday West Virginia. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 14:43, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jenkinjones, West Virginia has been reverted.
Your edit here to Jenkinjones, West Virginia was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u4gpeYpAiw, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0ThhuH9J8w) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:29, 29 March 2012 (UTC) I understand and will comply. As a note, Jenkinjones are freakishly remote. The probability that a video, I made on a flip after driving 9 hours to get there serving a violation of copyright is highly improbable. HOWEVER, I will of course comply as I need to wait a few more days before I have the rights to upload media. I will strive to preserve these places to the best of my ability. The recert will be removed as none of the material I linked to could be considered an infringement of any copyright. I will however, NOT include the video links as I would enjoy uploading these for viewingCoal town guy (talk) 14:39, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's generally a bad idea to link to YouTube, since it trips a wide variety of bots that are in place to deal with the problems generated by such links (you can imagine the possibilities). Best to upload, as you intend, so the copyright is unambiguously cleared. Acroterion (talk) 16:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MUCH apprciated, there are a few towns that are called coal towns due to their proximity, but no coal was mined in that area, nor were there any mines there, HOWEVER, LOTS of miners lived there. I have also seen a few redundant passages on County pages where there is a "other towns" section and these also appear in the Uni9ncorporated template, I think I can condense thiose as well. Otherwise, KLOTS and LOTS of coal towns need to be added. WHEN I get my permissions, I own just over 1000 postmarks from WV and many are of course coal towns. I can add those as sort of a proof of concept that towns of that name did existCoal town guy (talk) 17:04, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, if a place had a post office, it's prima facie notable, although there might not be enough sourced information for a stand-alone article in many cases. Acroterion (talk) 02:26, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Noticed a lot of your edit summaries start with four tildes. There's no need to do this. You only need to sign edits you make to article or user talk pages, and you do that after the text you enter, not in the edit summary. Total-MAdMaN (talk) 16:35, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am signing because I am adding alot of new pages. Unincorprated communities etc etc However, in a new page, where would I "sign"Coal town guy (talk) 16:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to sign in your edit summaries. The article's history page shows who has made edits to the article. Total-MAdMaN (talk) 17:05, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Towns coords

Hi - nice job with the WV town articles. If you don't mind, I noticed that the USGS pages also include coordinates of each, so adding those to the articles would be a good idea. See what I have done here and here for examples. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers! "Pepper" @ 18:59, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will make sure to do so and thanks for the examples. There are so very many places that are unincorprated that at this point, I feel like I am just trying to keep afloat documenting places I recall as a kid or from my relatives. My next adventure will be to create the Coal Town Page where there is an agreed upon Wikipedia definition for a coal town, and its not easy.....much of the literature is ciontradictory and at times, wrong. Very much appreciate the advice and I am rather new at this, thanks againCoal town guy (talk) 19:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Venus, Mcdowell County, West Virginia

Hello, I came across the subject article on new page patrol. Currently Venus, West Virginia redirects to Gary, West Virginia, which according to the article is also in McDowell County. I'm not familiar with West Virginia geography; are these the same place? If so, the page with "Mcdowell County" should be moved to the page without the county identification. I think WP:RM is the only way a non-admin can do this. Let me know and I can help list it at RM if necessary. Cheers! —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled right

Hello again. In light of the many articles you have created in a short amount of time, I was wondering if you would consider getting the autopatrolled right on your account (it may be called a "right" but in reality all of our Wikipedia user rights are privileges). Having this "right" does not necessarily benefit you directly, but it would lighten the workload on new page patrollers like me by automatically saying that an article created by you is not going to be vandalism, copyright infringement, a BLP violation, or otherwise inappropriate for Wikipedia. In order to get the autopatrolled right, you need to go to WP:AUTOPATROLLED and follow the instructions for requesting it. Alternatively, with your permission, I can request it for you. Once the request is made, an administrator will take a close look at your contributions and determine if you can be trusted with the user right. I should note that the short length of time your account has been registered will work against you, but the worst that the evaluating administrator(s) can say is no. Take a look at the page for more information and let me know if this is something you might be interested in. Cheers! —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:22, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and flipped the autopatrolled switch. It makes your new articles show up in white on Special:NewPages so new page patrollers can see that your articles don't have to be checked. Acroterion (talk) 18:17, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heyas

Seen your posts on User:Acroterion's talk page and wanted to offer my assistance on any West Virginia town or coal related article you might be working on. My Grandfather was a coal miner and my love of geography (I'm living GPS system my Mom says), I hope I can be of assistance if you need it. :) Oh...and welcome to Wikipedia.

Tyewhoppety, Kentucky

Tyewhoppety, Kentucky? Now you're in my neck of the woods. Just drove through there a few days ago. My wife still has some family down there. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 16:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Penile, Kentucky

While tagging your latest batch of unincorporated communities in Kentucky, I checked out the aforementioned Penile, Kentucky. It actually redirects to Penile, Louisville, which calls it a neighborhood of Louisville. That's not surprising; basically everything in Jefferson County is a neighborhood of Louisville by now. The problem is, now we have that article as well as Penile, Jefferson County, Kentucky, which you created. I can't imagine that they are not the same place. The content of the two needs to be merged instead of having two articles on the same subject. The proper title is probably Penile, Louisville, so if you wouldn't mind, could you merge the content from your new article into that one and leave a redirect to Penile, Louisville at Penile, Jefferson County, Kentucky?

Island City, Kentucky

While checking new Kentucky-related articles, I found Island City, Kentucky, created by November Klause (talk · contribs). Someone else tagged it as having no reliable sources. Could you throw in the standard cites you use for unincorporated communities so an overzealous admin doesn't delete it? Thanks. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 12:02, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pettit, Kentucky

Let me know when you get around to creating Pettit, Kentucky. I have a reliable source giving the namesake as Thomas S. Pettit, an article I created. Will give both articles another incoming link and give some info beyond just the fact that the town is in Daviess County. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 14:08, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Forest Hills, Wood COunty, West Virginia

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Forest Hills, Wood COunty, West Virginia. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Forest Hills, Wood County, West Virginia. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Forest Hills, Wood County, West Virginia - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Buggie111 (talk) 15:49, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is just an automated message, I saw you created the second, proper article before I tagged the first, incorrect one. You'd be better off moving the article enxt time and maybe tagging the redirect as {{db-r3}}. Cheers, Buggie111 (talk) 15:50, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Highways and railroads

Thank you for creating articles on lots of smaller communities. Sometimes it is worth mentioning in these articles whether a railroad line serves the community (or once did), and whether a numbered highway goes through it. If you do a quick search for the community's name on Google News at http://news.google.com/ , you may find some interesting facts that you can use to expand the article.

Wikipedia Stories Project

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

It sounds like you have had a few adventures in the mines!

I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project.

Thank you for your time,

Hey, dude. Saw the rather contentious discussion about this. Don't let it get you down. Copyright on WP is a major pain. Unless I can prove 100% that an image was published before 1923, that the author died more than 100 years ago, or that there is a rock-solid notice of free-use permission, I don't even mess with it. I'd recommend that strategy to you as well. It isn't worth the fight in most other cases. I went back-and-forth on three separate occasions with an editor who told me I couldn't claim fair use on a portrait because the editor knew there must be a free equivalent out there since the subject served in the military and as a federal judge. The editor could not produce such an image, but claimed the burden of proof was on me to prove there wasn't such an image, which is, of course, impossible. Don't sweat this kind of stuff. Your other contributions are too important to the project to get bogged down in the quagmire of copyright. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 15:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CDPs

The reliable list of all places counted by the 2010 census is here; CDPs are under "places", and the state-based files page has the lists for WV and KY. I've found that the GNIS has CDP listings for many places whose listing as a populated place says they are not CDPs; most of these are not on the Census Bureau's list.
