Revision as of 02:35, 9 October 2020
- Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!Template:Z129
- I read your message contesting the deletion of the article. Nothing you wrote, unfortunately, addressed the problem: that you were copying in large chunks of copyrighted text. Assuming the organization meets the guidelines for notability, you are welcome to create another article in your own words. —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Vulcan Society FDNY, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.vulcansocietyfdny.org/History.html.
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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:02, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Vulcan Society FDNY
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.
A tag has been placed on Vulcan Society FDNY requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.vulcansocietyfdny.org/History.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:07, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Deletion
The source you copied the article from states at the bottom of the page "Content copyright 2014. vulcan society. All rights reserved". This means that the text cannot be brought into Wikipedia. WP is licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 for free use by anyone anywhere, including commercial use and modification. The text you imported is not free to use as it is not licensed in a compatible way with Wikipedia's license. Please see also WP:COPYVIO. If you intend to do a fresh article, please read WP:GROUP and WP:RS about reliable independent sources. Also please note that you should not give the address and email address as this is usually regarded as being promotional. It can also lead to spamming. Peridon (talk) 22:35, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello, CaptJayRuffins. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.Deb (talk) 16:00, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
Thank you for working on categorizing the organizational categories. I've worked mostly with women's groups but it's nice to see you taking up the fire fighting organizations.
One tip with categories, they don't usually contain actual information other than the articles in the category. Some contain a little header explaining what should go in the category but that's all. So you don't lose the work of your list I'm copying it here per WP:G6. (I was going to put in on your sandbox page but that's a redirect so I wasn't sure if you would get it.) Good luck.

WERD
Hi! I just noticed your addition of WERD—owned by Jesse B. Blayton, Sr.—to List of African-American firsts was reverted for lack of a citation. WERD and Blayton were already in the list at the year 1949. There is also an article in in Wikipedia for the station at WERD (historic radio station). No article for Blayton yet. — Neonorange (Phil) — 03:43, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding , a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system.

Speedy deletion nomination of Increase Carpenter
Hello CaptJayRuffins,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Increase Carpenter for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Template:Z166

Abbreviating political subdivisions
Thanks for adding a relevant picture and caption to Windmill. I want to point you to English Wikipedia's style guide section: MOS:POSTABBR. Generally, using postal abbreviations—such as CA for California, or WA for Washington or Western Australia—is discouraged as they're less likely to be widely understood by our global audience, or could be interpreted as two or more political subdivisions. I went ahead and expanded NY to New York in the caption you added. → GS → ☎ → 06:50, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
Pantigo Windmill
Hey, your new article Pantigo windmill (Easthampton, New York) popped up on my watchlist, i suppose it must have linked to something i created long ago.
It looks like it is a valid topic for an article, but I don't think it is a separately listed place on the National Register, because I think we have most of those covered already, at least in New York State. I don't see it mentioned in National Register of Historic Places listings in East Hampton (town), New York. Is it included in the Pantigo Road Historic District, perhaps? What is your evidence that it is NRHP listed? Perhaps it has an NRHP plaque on it, which a contributing building in an NRHP historic district can carry, without being separately listed. Or i worry if it is an alternate name for an NRHP-listed windmill already having an article.
I would like to help you get it described and connected in, properly. I mostly edit NRHP articles, myself. Either way, I am sure this can get sorted out eventually, and I thank you for contributing. Cheers, --Doncram (talk) 23:26, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, i see from the NRHP reference number that you provided in the article, which is for the East Hampton Village District, that it must be a contributing resource in that district. Hmm, the East Hampton Village District article is pretty weak. Unfortunately the New York State copies of NRHP nomination documents were all moved, so I don't see how to read the NRHP document for the district. --Doncram (talk) 23:30, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- as I pointed out on your talk, it's in the backyard of HSH, next door is Mulford then Tuthill house is next to that and the church on the other side, the village green, the cemetery, the pond the old church, Gardiner mill, the rebuilt saltbox(not recognized, they tore down the orig saltbox) Rev Thomas James marker are all in the NRHP. I could use help with the NRHP infobox coordinates, i just lost the one in Mulford Farmhouse CaptJayRuffins (talk) 23:50, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- I got your note at my talk page, great. I am happy to "watchlist" here and have just a single discussion here, not split, but please do feel free to contact me at my Talk page, especially if I seem to have missed something here.

- Hmm, I am not sure they all need separate articles, perhaps they could be covered together in the village historic district article, each with a separate section? But if there is separate documentation available, as you have found to be the case for the windmill, it is also okay to have separate, split-out articles about the more major contributing resources in a district. It's a judgment call to split out or not.
Hmm, the HAER documentation which you included in the windmill article states "This is one of the mills built by Nathaniel Dominy V", contrary to the name you assert as builder, presumably based on a different source. It is okay if there exists contradictory sources, we just probably should note the disagreement.Oh, hmm the HAER documentation goes on in its text to say Samuel Schellinger was the builder. --Doncram (talk) 00:09, 24 September 2018 (UTC)- Also, I think the name of the article should probably be Pantigo Windmill. The parenthetical mention of town/village is not needed, assuming that there is no other place named "Pantigo Windmill". You could move it to that name, yourself, by selecting "move" from the tabs available at top of page (perhaps hidden under "More"). --Doncram (talk) 23:55, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
I debated the naming, but after finding that every last one of these windmills were moved, it make sense to add the town. If you look at the list, every windmill deserves its own entry due to the importance to the community at some point in their lives. The village green can be expanded, but the museums all deserve their own articles. The village green article will have the poles, the stones, the seats, the arbors, the churches and the graves, but the windmills of the east end each get their story told. I just working on the ones in the NRHP first, the hayground was an outlier, googlemaps mis-directed me and it was a doozy to find, just getting google to fix that mess will take some doing. Gardiner Mill is incorrectly placed over in amagansett, where that mill burnt to the ground in 1924. It really is on James lane across from his grave.CaptJayRuffins (talk) 00:20, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
Here's the thing, I need help with the articles like the village green. The windmills is a start, see Category= Windmills in New York (state) and I plan to expand on the ones on the east end. but there is the problem of the underlying districts. I shot Quogue, now I have to write the Quogue Historical district article. But I'm still in windmills, and fleshing out the village. If I send pics, can you help? (talk) 00:30, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
Updated the East Hampton Village District, will return to it later.. I think I can do the same with a stub like this for the Quogue Historical district, (not to tell the story in pictures, but to get a starting point for a full article... (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- In partial response:
- About your having taken and/or being able to take more photos, that is hugely helpful. Please do upload those to Commons (commons.wikimedia.org), which holds photos that display in Wikipedia (in the English language wikipedia and all other language wikipedias, too). There is an "upload file" link to click which brings you to here, and I see a "help" service mentioned there if you have any difficulty. If by "sending a photo to me" you mean literally emailing one to me, that wouldn't help directly, because I would not be able to upload it to Commons myself, not being able to assert copyright ownership myself.
- Yes getting Google maps to fix anything sounds tedious. For coordinates corrections within Wikipedia, we can just do that directly. I often use coordinates that I obtain from Google maps satellite view, then right-click to see "what's here" in order to see a copy-paste-able set of coordinates, in order to get better coordinates to use in articles.
- About categories, there is Category:Mill museums in New York (state) as well as Category:Windmills in New York (state) to add to some of these articles.
I am surprised there is nota List of windmills in New York or other explicit list-article to cover the historic windmills, both the ones having articles and those which do not (to be shown either as redlinks calling for articles, or to be shown as "blacklinks" not suggesting articles). To cover places like the one you mentioned being destroyed in 1924. A list-article can cover stuff which a category cannot. [Yay, there is such a list-article, "List of windmills in New York". By all means add to it, including adding multiple sentences to the notes column wherever needed to explain something adequately.--Doncram (talk) 14:37, 24 September 2018 (UTC)- Hey, perhaps User:Mjroots or others of Wikipedia:WikiProject Mills could help somehow about the mills.
- --Doncram (talk) 14:06, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, I already covered the points you mentioned, see above. I've added a couple of hundred images to the commons this month, maybe you can use some. I was sending you the link to the NRHP ones to help with the article. Here it is anyhoo.... https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/CaptJayRuffins&ilshowall=1 CaptJayRuffins (talk) 14:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- The only comment I have is that {{Infobox Windmill}} could be used, but that is up to you. Mjroots (talk) 18:20, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
- Aside from naming convention issues and excessive and unnecessary categorization of the images, I can't see that much wrong with the article or images. I'm going to consider adding categories that Doncram suggested, if they haven't been added already. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 19:24, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Assistant professors
I must profess a little concern about creating articles on assistant professors. There are 2 to 6 million professors in the world, most of whom are of little note. The few articles on assistant profs that I have seen survive AfD are about people who were notable novelists, poets, musicians, artists, etc first, then obtained a position at a university. Abductive (reasoning) 21:25, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Actually, the article is about a Social worker who speaks a (dead) language due to the genocide perpetrated on her people by colonizers. That she is involved in a renaissance of the language, and had achieved the highest level of education, a doctorate in anthropology, to be able to overcome the obstacles placed on her people, make me have to say, please,

Speedy deletion nomination of 101st Precinct Police Station
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.
A tag has been placed on 101st Precinct Police Station requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://s-media.nyc.gov/agencies/lpc/lp/2610.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

The article Black Firefighters Association has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This is a local association (San Francisco Black Firefighters Association) affiliated to an international one. I think it is not notable per WP:BRANCH.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I removed personal non-encyclopedic material from infobox, and the see alsos for more notable people in her general field. I note , btw, that "vice-dean" is a minor administrative position that does not imply notability, academic or otherwise.
I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hello, CaptJayRuffins
Thank you for creating Carl G. Holmes.
User:Doomsdayer520, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Thank you for this new article, though I am concerned about the "Early life and career" section. That section is not about Mr. Holmes (he is not named in the paragraph) but is instead about all black firefighters of that time. Also, most of that section has no citations. It could be characterized as original research which should be avoided at Wikipedia. I recommend revamping that section to make it more specific to Mr. Holmes and the challenges HE faced early in his career.
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .
