==Re:Link to [[Mound builder (people)]] or [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] [[Earthworks (archaeology)|earthwork]]== |
|||
In those links you changed that I had inserted, you stated in summaries that a link to ''mound'' was more helpful, but your link doesn't go to [[mound]] or to [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]]s but to [[Mound builder (people)]], a page that deals more with past misconceptions, debunked racist and religious myths, and misconceptions about many unrelated cultures than about Native Americans or mounds themselves. Why isn't [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] [[Earthworks (archaeology)|earthwork]], which links to Native Americans and an archaeological definition for the structures, better? The actual cultures that built the mounds are linked a sentence or 2 later in the text of those articles, the Mound builder (people) article is at best a pointer to those subjects, so it really isn't needed. Just wondering what your reasoning on the matter was, regards [[User:Heironymous Rowe|'''<span style="color:White;background:darkBlue">He</span>''']][[User talk:Heironymous Rowe|'''<span style="color:darkBlue">iro'''</span>]] 04:24, 1 July 2010 (UTC) |

== Little Thetford flesh-hook == |
|||
Hi - you changed a category recently in [[Little Thetford flesh-hook]] from Bronze age Europe to Bronze age Britain. Can we discuss please? My reason for choosing Bronze age Europe was due the two references (9) Bowman and (10) Needham and Bowman referring to Atlantic Zone Bronze age. Do we add this article to both Bronze age Europe and Bronze age Britain? --[[User:Senra|Senra]] ([[User talk:Senra|talk]]) 11:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC) |

I had a mental note to check the DAB page on flesh hook as it had info not appropriate for a DAB. I see you converted it to a stub. What is the mechanism? Did you simply remove the category?

== Superior, Nebraska church == |
|||
Got to [[Nuckolls County, Nebraska]] not too long ago; and per your request, sought out and photographed the church at 423 E. 5th St. in [[Superior, Nebraska|Superior]]. There was no address on the building or the mailbox; but it was the only building on the odd side in that block, so I assume it's the right one. The pictures are at [[Commons:Category:Grace Community Evangelical Free Church (Superior, Nebraska)]]. |
|||
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you add some categories? I've looked in vain for a good subcategory of [[Commons:Category:Protestant churches in the United States]] in which to put it. Thanks— |

:Glad the picture's of the right church. I thought it would be, since the building clearly wasn't of very recent construction, and I checked rather carefully to make sure I wasn't being led astray by the distinction between streets and avenues or the like. |
|||

::Incidentally, are the pictures adequate for your purposes? Ideally, I'd have got some pictures with the light in the east, but was in Superior at the wrong time of day for that. I'll need to go back there in the morning at some point, since I need to shoot the west sides of the streets in Superior Downtown HD; and if you like, I can try to get some morning shots of the church. |

Hi there. You have indefblocked this user for block evasion, which is certainly technically correct. He had a previous, similarly name account four years ago and, using it, posted a number of unarguable vandal edits. His only edits with his second account have been to remove edits from his earlier account, and I tend to feel that he is planning on being a serious editor. Do you feel like re-considering your block?

== New census designated places for 2010 Census == |
|||
I stumbled on this earlier today when browsing through the GNIS database to expand county templates. It appears that several unincorporated communities were recently redesignated as [[census-designated place]]s in several states for the 2010 Census, which will increase the number of named places with official Census data. Go to the [http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/ GNIS page] and search for Feature Class, Census. Most were designated in March 2010, but I've found some designated as recently as June. A few examples. |
|||
* [[Nash, North Dakota]][{{gnis3|2584352}}] |
|||
* [[Cass County, North Dakota]] previously had two CDPs ([[Erie, ND|Erie]] and [[Wheatland, ND|Wheatland]]), now it has 2 more.[{{gnis3|2585496}} Brooktree Park] and [{{gnis3|2585498}} Embden] |
|||
* [[Agency Village, South Dakota]][{{gnis3|2584542}}] |
|||
There does not seem to be an official U.S. Census Bureau list of them. However, in 2008 the Census Bureau did [http://www.census.gov/geo/www/psap2010/cdp_criteria.pdf announce changes to its policies] on identifying what qualifies as a designated place for 2010 and beyond. The policy was to allowing for states to identify more areas as CDPs, subject to Census approval. Basically, any single closely settled named population center qualifies, as long as it does not have zero population or zero housing units and is composed of a contiguous area of [[census block]]s. |
|||
I plan on adding new CDPs to the county templates and updating current articles for unicorporated places that have become CDPs as appropriate. For now, I'm going to just make a note of the addition in GNIS as the source, but may also include the following, if you think it works. ''In 2008, the U.S. Census Bureau updated the criteria for its Participant Statistical Areas Program to allow for additional CDPs to be included in [[United States Census, 2010|2010 Census]] (insert reference to Federal Register notice)''.

==I think wiki needs some type of embedded or hidden link to appropriate style guides for each wiki page== |
|||
Even though Wikipedia is incredible for non-editors, it has been a major pain for me to find the right style guides. The high-level wiki editor help has monumental amounts of information, which is great, but when it comes down to knowning what to include or not-include on a wiki page, it is almost impossible to find help or styles guides because you don't know the magic words that will hit and give you the right one you need. |
|||
About the only way I get style guides or rule guides is when other editors slam me for not meeting something I didn't know about. Even though I have been editing city wiki pages for about a month, I didn't even know about the [[WP:USCITY]]. |
|||
I kind of wish that each wiki page had a special-link to the recommended style guide for that type of page, for example each city wiki page would have some type of link to [[WP:USCITY]]. What would really be useful is that when you click the EDIT button, the edit page would have a link to it. Maybe a big wish for a wiki newbie. |

::Thanks for the response. No you weren't too hard on me. Yes, my edits didn't match the guidelines, so I was wrong. My statement above is a little terse likely because I've been spending a lot of time editing pages and snapped back harser than I should have. Thanks for the help!!! |
|||
::I know that I need to refine the wiki text that I add to the city wiki's, and I'll work harder to format them more like the style guide. The wiki's for all the tiny towns in the area are so sparse that it's easy for me to get out of control adding new info since I finally got into the zone of how to edit wiki pages. I'm trying to get more people involved in Marion County city wiki's, especially history guru's, but I'm not going to hold my breath :-) |

==Is it ok to add empty sections and include the Expand-section?== |
|||
I noticed that [[Las_Cruces, New Mexico]] was using the Expand-section to get people to help fill in some sections. I'm not going to add all every section, like big cities, but I thought 2 or 3 might be a good idea. For the smallest incorporated towns, I wanted to add the Expand-section to the History section to get more people involved. Please look at [[Aulne, Kansas]] for unincorporated city and edit to your taste, so I can use the concept on other incorporated towns. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sbmeirow|Sbmeirow]] ([[User talk:Sbmeirow|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sbmeirow|contribs]]) 00:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Sock puppet advice == |
|||
Not sure the appropriate venue, but there's a blocked editor using sock IPs to circumvent his block The problem is the edits are updating historical cenus populations, primarily for North Dakota communities, and while edit summaries are lacking, the contributions are valuable. You can see his most recent comment on my [[User_talk:Dcmacnut|talk page]]. I came across his edits where he was counting township population as a city population, so I reverted. But most are accurate when I compare the original US census data. His most recent string his [[Special:Contributions/208.107.123.63|here]] and the previous [[Special:Contributions/165.234.184.69|here]]. Both IPs are one's he acknowledges using on his talk page. |
|||
It appears the editor was indefinitely blocked a long time ago, and won't or can't use the proper unblock procedures. I sent him a friendly warning today that he should avoid using IPs to get around his block. Since his [[User talk:Rossdegenstein|talk page]] mentions you, I thought I'd inquire. I don't intend to revert any of his valid edits, but also don't want to condone an editor blatantly violating policy.[[User:Dcmacnut|DCmacnut]][[User talk:Dcmacnut|<font color="blue"><</font><font color="red">></font>]] 02:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC) |

:The blocked user is someone else entirely unrelated to the Iowa thing. [[User:Rossdegenstein]]. Apparently he's been blocked for several reasons, including treating Wikipedia has his personal web page. He's been circumventing the block by editing from a variety of IP addresses. I was just curious. His edits to population data are by and large accurate and good additions. But since he was circumventing a block, my concern was that he would continue to tick off other editors which could lead to some problems. He doesn't seem to be entirely up on proper citations and edit summaries, but when it comes to the historical populations I don't think any of us are good about providing sources for each decennial census.[[User:Dcmacnut|DCmacnut]][[User talk:Dcmacnut|<font color="blue"><</font><font color="red">></font>]] 16:00, 19 July 2010 (UTC) |

Hey Nyttend, I've noticed you create NRHP articles alot (see [[User:AlexNewArtBot/NRHPSearchResult]]) but you rarely if ever create the associated talk page.

Denverjeff was kind enough to point out that I got 5 North vs. the real 5 South Fox Street. I knew something was wrong with it but just couldn't figure out what. It would have been the final pix for all of Denver. And I was only a half block away! On the other hand, DJ has taken a pix ( [http://www.flickr.com/photos/denverjeffrey/3696548426/ here] - see my talk page), but it looks a lot like the Richthofer Castle - all trees, no house. I guess it just wasn't meant to be - I was dragging my wife all over town taking these quickie shots, and ... DJ says that he might go back at Christmas (when the leaves are off) ...

There are only two possibilities for the marker you showed me: it is either a local marker or the PHMC database is incomplete.

You deleted [[:File:BUNT BAND.jpg]] as a hoax. I'm not sure how this image can be considered a hoax.

I believe the band to be a group of tweens (based on the band's "official site") who are trying to bolster their own image and egos with this page. That doesn't mean they don't exist, and that the image provided is not actually the art they have used on their album.

|||
I appologies for using the Hangon tag for (among others) above file. The problem is that the link is removed (twice) from the only page where it was used. As a result a bot labeled it as an orphan. I'm trying to keep it since it is a essential part of information within the article [[sailing at the 1948 Summer Olympics]]. Can you please advice how to avoid deletion? |

== Bristol, Wisconsin == |

On June 29, 2010, the village of [[Bristol, Wisconsin]] voted to annex the town of Bristol in Kenosha County, Wisconsin effected July 4, 2010.[http://www.town.bristol.wi.us/usrDefault.aspx] I made the neccessary changes and the old town of Bristol article will eventually be redirected into the village article. A small section of the old town of Bristol was annexed to the village of Pleasant Praire. Question=was the Lake Shangrila CDP also annexed into the village of Bristol? According to my DeLorme Wisconsin atlas part of it may be in the town of Salem and other half in Bristol.[[http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wikenosh/placenames.htm] Also the now former unincorporated communities of [[Pikeville, Wisconsin]] and [[Woodworth, Wisconsin]] that were in the old town will have to be incorporated into the article.

Sorry not to have followed up on this issue for a long time, after i promised i would draft an RFC. I've kept it in mind as one of several open editorial decision issues. Just now I opened a discussion section on the "same name same county" issue at [[wt:NRHP]], trying to be relatively neutral, and hoping to settle the issue well enough just within wp:NRHP. Could you comment there, please? I gave as example the pair of Octagon House places in Fairfield County, CT because I have been focussing on that list-article. I think that might suffice, or perhaps you might think another pair or two would be also important to consider, that bring out different aspects of the issue. I'd be open to having a wider RFC still, too. Regards. --[[User:Doncram|doncram]] ([[User talk:Doncram|talk]]) 22:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC) |

Hmm. So they both have some real creds. If one or both had been local I could have understood (I ''do'' find it amusing sometimes reading the noms from earlier years when they were usually prepared by local people with a lot more enthusiasm for what they were doing than professionalism in doing it). Then again, since they were MPSes and the actual apps don't have names, maybe they were prepared by staffers or local people, and someone had forgotten about the district in the meantime.

No worries. Glad no one was hurt when your internet and phone got struck. I do know that Walmart has some cheap-o phones, if you just need a phone. They run about $12.00 and have caller ID available and work pretty good. We have one and it does the trick, last a couple days on a single charge (it is cordless). If it is wiring, then that is definitely the phone company. If you have Verizon for phone, expect a week or more with them, they are kinda slow. But think of it this way, at least no telemarketers will be calling you at all hours. :) Take Care...<small style="white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #900;padding:1px;">[[User:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:#900;">Neutralhomer</span>]] • [[User talk:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:Black;White;">Talk</span>]] • 08:00, 6 August 2010 (UTC)</small> |

There are multiple sources saying Roosevelt made the arrangements, and a good source showing that Roosevelt commissioned 200 paintings from Sharp and confirming it was the Indian Commission, not just an individual agent, which did the building.

==Baptist convention of Indiana== |

Hello Nyttend, |
|||
Would you please consider reinstating the "State Convention of Baptist in Indiana"? The following link shows how each state convention is a part of the Southern Baptist Convention. Southern Baptists are the largest evangelical denomination in the world. As I read the standard the state conventions they seemed to qualify for notability. I have also linked the web site for each state convention on the page I created. The bulk of information mentioned on the wiki page is verified on the state convention web pages. Thanks again for your help. Please let me know how I am to proceed. |
|||
:I would certainly like to try Nyttend. I am also trying to recruit help. I truly believe that understanding what the state conventions believe and how many churches are in them is helpful to wiki users. This information assist others in understanding how Southern Baptists work. In addition to size, I also mentioned entities the conventions own and operate. There is also a link to what they believe. Information was also provided on how the SBC state convention cooperate together. Please consider restoring the pages so that I can work on them further.

I noticed someone moved the article [[Ohio State Normal College At Kent]] to [[Ohio State Normal College at Kent]] citing "correcting name spelling and grammatical error".

Thanks for the note, Nyt. I was born in Massillon and raised in the area and visit there a couple of times a year. When I was there a couple of weeks ago, I got pics of most of the sites I hadn't already photographed on previous trips. There are still a few to go, but it's getting there. Most of my photo efforts are out here in the Bay Area. I've pretty well covered San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Alameda Counties at this point. Next comes the peninsula.

== john edwards double bassist deleted == |
|||
Hello Nyttend, |
|||
i am upset you deleted the article i created for john edwards. he is the most important double bassist for free jazz/free improvisation music in the uk if not europe/world. i have listed over 50 records of his on indie free jazz labels since the 80s, the peguin jazz book listed him, and all his collaberators have their own wiki articles, and he is still considered as insignificant? does wiki only exist for popstars and celebraties? |
|||
please refer to [[Emanem_Records|Emanem Records]],everyone else who he has played with already has their articles! |

Hi again, John edwards is a very low key artist, never takes any interviews. and because he is in the supporting role (but critical to have) of a double bass player in any musical ensembles, he is not featured as the main musician in tv/radio. this is why there are not much information on him online. Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion. instead in the criterion for speedy deletion, it was listed that if a musician has cds under important indie labels, he will be considered significant. i am surprise you just delete regardlessly without referring to the 50 cds listed under several indie record labels, all of them are on wiki. do you do backups when you delete? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Write2yibo|Write2yibo]] ([[User talk:Write2yibo|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Write2yibo|contribs]]) 22:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Hello, I am referring to the below: |
|||
'''Criteria for musicians and ensembles''' |
|||
''5. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).'' |
|||
In this case JE had over 50 albums on a couple of important indie labels. He should be fitting the criteria. |
|||
Also,number six is relavent also: ''6. Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles.'' |
|||
(¬¬¬¬) hi again, i referred to the 'penguin guide to jazz on cd' book as one of the references. may i ask what references do you require? also if you can userfy the deleted article to me it would be reallyreally useful. since i have listed over 50CDs and it is very difficult to get them together again. not to mention there are another 50+ thats not even been put on to the original article. thanks, Yibo <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Write2yibo|Write2yibo]] ([[User talk:Write2yibo|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Write2yibo|contribs]]) 01:34, 21 August 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Nyttend, I just finished an article entitled [[Princess Victor of Thurn and Taxis]] and as you will see if you have time to take a look at it, there is a lot going on in terms of notable hook material. Because of your expertise in crafting delectable hooks for DYK?, I was wondering if I could pick your brain as to the best way to encapsulate several of the article's notable points into a single hook.

Since Leonora was used once, I decided to go with Lida, but the discovery of additional sources may call for further modifications. Thanks again for all your assistance Nyttend!

== Missing sections of the Alabama ZIP code list == |

I noticed that [[User:Nyttend/ZIP/AL|your ZIP code completion list for Alabama]] has been missing a few sections since you created it. Every ZIP code from 362-365 was missing until I added them back in a while ago; I thought that was it until I noticed a large chunk of the 360s was missing today. I suspect the original article was vandalized before it was deleted, and I'm not sure if any other sections are missing. Since I'm not an admin, could you please find the pre-blanking revision of [[List of ZIP Codes in Alabama]] and put it in a subpage of my user page ([[User:TheCatalyst31/Alabama]], let's say) so I can sort out the rest?

== Declined speedy of Skydrift Air Charter == |
|||
G'day from Oz; I just want to point out that [[Skydrift Air Charter]] is not actually an airline, but the airborne equivalent of a small taxicab company. Just about any airport serving a major city in the Western world will have at least one, if not several, of this type of company based there. The refs establish nothing other than that it exists, has some aeroplanes and is licenced by the regulator to operate commercially. The bulk of the edits have been made by Users who haven't made edits to any other articles on WP, so I think it's safe to assume that they have a connection with the company. In short, I thought it was a pretty-clear-cut and non-contentious candidate for an A7 speedy. [[User:YSSYguy|YSSYguy]] ([[User talk:YSSYguy|talk]]) 00:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC) |

As a relativley new Wikipedia member I would like to question the deletion of [:Kieran Powell (Ventriloquist)]] as I feel the reasons we gave where justified.

Secondly the main output of the page was to explain the creativity of [:Kieran Powell (Ventriloquist)]]. E.g. Puppets & shows.

I really don't see a difference between this article and the one you cited.

My point was that the other page may well be equally worthy of deletion; I've just not done it, and (because I'm not required to delete pages) I don't want to do it under the present circumstances. If you believe that it shouldn't have an article, please feel free to nominate it for speedy deletion, if and only if you believe that it meets the criteria spelled out here. Please understand, by the way, that the existence of an article on a topic doesn't necessarily mean that there should be an article on that topic; this essay is a good explanation of this point.

== Philly NHLs == |
|||
I'm trying to improve the [[List of National Historic Landmarks in Philadelphia]], but have several questions. |
|||
#I've added in all the remaining coords in DMS format and switched the others to DMS- do folks not use this format in NHLs? |
|||
#Independence Hall and Gloria Dei are not on the NHL list (part of a National Historic Park or National Historic Site) but other similar "odd" sites are - what is supposed to be included in an NHL list? |
|||
#Addresses in "Philadelphia" with the county as "Philadelphia" are redundant in this list. Would anybody mind if I switch the locality to regions like "Center City" or "West Philadelphia" (linking them to NRHP lists?), and then put the neighborhoods in the "County" column? |
|||
#I've put the coords above the street address - this way when you sort on "locality" it sorts north to south, rather than by street number. With "Center City" or other regions in this column, it would first sort by region, then north to south. |

I read [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:West_Feliciana_Parish,_Louisiana&diff=381863329&oldid=381744766 this edit]: |
|||
Nyttend, [[Louisiana State Penitentiary]] ("Angola, Louisiana") is not ''just'' a prison. It's also a self-contained community with residential housing (for employees), a dedicated fire department, and a post office. Angola and [[Mississippi State Penitentiary]] (Parchman, Mississippi) are two prison farms which essentially are self-contained communities. Therefore both are listed as "places" in their county/parish templates. |
|||
Also [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Sunflower_County,_Mississippi&diff=380421883&oldid=380374476 in regards to this edit], the penitentiary ''is a community'' (a self-contained one with employee housing and a dedicated fire department), and "Parchman, Mississippi" is now a redirect into the prison article. Parchman has no identity outside of the prison, and its fire station and post office are inside the prison grounds. |

Hi, sorry to be getting in the way maybe. I browsed some of your recent contributions and took issue with loss of disambiguating (City, State) for a place of name format "Lastname House". Generally i think almost such places should be disambiguated, and that usually there is no [[wp:PRIMARYUSAGE]], and i set up [[Legg House]] dab. Then in Google search looking for non-NRHP ones to add to the dab, your commons pics pop up. I hope you don't mind my having created the dab page, where you were apparently about to create an article on the Indiana one. I do think the City, State disambiguation is better in its name, but i also don't want to interfere with productive effort. If you want to assert primaryusage and move the dab to "Legg House (disambiguation)" I won't object. Again, sorry, hope you are doing well in your new digs. --[[User:Doncram|doncram]] ([[User talk:Doncram|talk]]) 13:22, 4 September 2010 (UTC) |

Good to hear from you again. Yep, it looks like I really didn't complete the West Philadelphia list - d____, gotta check everything! Give me a week or two before you post a reprimand at "Fully Illustrated Lists!" after all, it's only about 50 yards out of the district (see [http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/pa/pa0800/pa0891/photos/206020pv.jpg Jack Boucher aerial photo]). Only about 111 more pix to complete Philadelphia (but who's counting?), including 1 Lightship in Camden, NJ. If you find any similar quirks or curiosities, or even just bad photos, in Philly let me know. I'd rather catch them before than after announcing a Philly fully illustrated list.

== Please reconsider declining this speedy == |
|||
Hi, Nyttend. Thanks for your admin work with things like speedy-delete requests. I know you have to go through them quickly, of course, in order to keep up with the deluge, but I'd like to ask you to reconsider [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:BlackImperial/Young_Jonii&diff=prev&oldid=383229885 one you declined] after a 3-second review, with the edit summary, "This is hardly spam." No criticism at all is intended re the three seconds; as I said, I know you have to move quickly. But if you'll look a little longer I think you'll have to conclude that it ''is'' spam, bandspam, to be specific. Further, it's a menace to Wikipedia to allow it to live, even in userspace, imo. The user has tried at least 7 times, ignoring admin warnings all the way along, to move the article into mainspace. He even created a redirect in mainspace to point to this userspace page at one point, and also created it in mainspace as the alternate spelling "Yung Jonii", presumably because his preferred spelling is salted. The article is about an 18 year old rapper with no commercial or press notice at all - the "external links" in the would-be article are all to pages the user just created himself on free music sites, a few days ago. I strongly suspect the user behind this, RuskiiSun, SunHawken, and now BlackImperial is himself "Young Jonii". |
|||
Here's some documentation to back all these claims up: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive635#Name-jumper_re-creating_wp:band_spam Name-jumper re-creating band spam] at ANI, user SunHawken's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sunhawken&oldid=381494905 talk page], and some relevant logs: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Young+Jonii][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User:BlackImperial/Young_Jonii][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Yung+Jonii]. One admin offered to let him keep the article in userspace a while ago, for three months, but that was before he abused the privilege by repeatedly trying to get it into mainspace again by ignoring admin warnings and by deceptive attempts like the redirect and the rename of the article. I wasn't exagerating when I said this "article" is a menace. The user has already consumed hours and hours of other user's time on this, despite dozens of polite explanations as to "Young Jonii's" utter lack of notability. The user simply refuses to take "no" for an answer. If the thing stays around in any form, he'll just keep creating bogus external links to free music sites and using whatever other sly techniques he can think of to pump it up erroneously. The young man needs to work on his hoped-for career in the music business to gain legitimate notability, not to try and jigger the would-be article around to keep trying to fake it. This one really needs a stake through its heart, I'm afraid. |

== Tomorrow, Nebraska == |
|||
Thanks for the DYK nomination for [[Tamora, Nebraska]]. Your phrasing looked pretty good; certainly, as good as anything I could've come up with. Unfortunately, that problem existed in the sources as well. I suspect that there's a version of the naming story in which the founders agreed "to name it tomorrow", or something to that effect; and, in keeping with their agreement, they named it Tomorrow. However, I can't find a source that phrases it that neatly, and it would be a mortal sin to introduce a phrase of my own invention in quote-marks into the article. |
|||
Incidentally, how'd you find the article so quickly? Do you have your watchlist arranged so that new articles in "Category:Unincorporated communities in Nebraska" automatically go onto it when they're created or added to the category? Or did your watchlist show you the change in [[Seward County, Nebraska]] or the Seward County template, and you then followed the link by hand? |

When the winter sets in and conditions become less favorable for birding and photography, I hope to do more article-writing and -editing. I've got a couple of articles in the pipeline, but they're moving slowly—especially since the Kearney and UNK libraries are closed for the Labor Day weekend. |
|||
:Speaking of articles in the pipeline, one of them deals with an NRHP site in Dawes County, Nebraska, and I'm perplexed regarding the name. The site in question is the former library at Chadron State College. In the NRIS, it's listed as "Library". In [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Dawes County, Nebraska]], it's [[Library (Chadron, Nebraska)]]; but that's not a whole lot better, since the [[Chadron Public Library]] is also on the NRHP, and may have its own article one day. I'm planning to name the article [[Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center]], for the building's present use; but according to [[WP:NRHPMOS]], there should be a redirect page with the official name. The problem is that if and when [[Chadron Public Library]] is written, [[Library (Chadron, Nebraska)]] should probably be a dab page pointing to both articles. Any thoughts? Advice would be welcome; I was planning to post this to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places]], but will use this occasion as a pretext to pester you about it first. |

==TheIBM regarding 'Lump Ball'== |
|||
Greetings |
|||
I am rather disappointed to see the article on Lump Ball has been deleted without any request for comment from myself! The article is NOT a hoax as you seem to have presumed. |
|||
For your information this game has been developed based on information from the training schedule for delegates who are studying the IMPACT (International Mobilisation and Preparation for ACTion) course for the Red Cross and the content is an accurate explanation of facts as detailed in the internationally distributed training schedules and course documentation. |
|||
In order for the Federation of the Red Cross and ICRC to obtain training uniformity the course has been formulated to cross cultural, race, religion and international boundaries and offers students a series of scenarios based in the fictitious country 'Alphaland'. |
|||
Despite the game 'Lump Ball' being discussed in numerous course scenarios no rules were ever developed until the recent course in New Zealand (where I with the help of another participant expanded rules and outline of the game). Following the successful roll out and demonstration of the game to a senior delegation of New Zealand and Australian IFRC and ICRC staff it was suggested by them that I present it to the federation in Geneva next year! It is also intended that the rules will form the basis of an additional module to the course which will assist in team development and co-operation. |
|||
Whilst I understand the pages may require some modifications (I am a new contributer after all) the content is accurate and important and worthwhile for inclusion. |
|||
If you would therefore let me know what further validations you require to prove my bona-fide's and to get this included. |
|||
Regards |

Hi Nyttend- Sounds like an intersting fellow. Never met him.

== Use of Rollback == |
|||
I understand that not every person is going to be able to fully comprehend [[WP:Place]]. I get it. Yet when you revert something that you may personally not agree with, it is not usually wise to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baltimore,_Ohio&diff=383370187&oldid=383332035 Rollback on an edit other than vandalism]. It looks like you used [[WP:Rollback]] on my edit, thereby making it seem as if I was vandalizing the page, am I mistaken? |
|||
Also, your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jack_Ruby&diff=383370434&oldid=383330596 Edit summary] at [[Jack Ruby]], suggests that you did not review [[WP:Place]] before making two reverts on two articles, based on that policy. You should really review policy before passing judgment on it. There are many policies and guidelines at wikipedia, and no one editor, regardless of who they are, can remember every detail. |
|||
Also there have been previous discussions on this topic, that are available to review in my FAQ on my talk page. |
|||
Like I say in my FAQ, I'm not going to edit war with you. If you are so inclined that you feel that the articles are better this way, dispite policy and previous discussions, go right ahead. I won't stop you, I only fix the articles as I go. |
|||
My greatest concern was your use of Rollback on an edit that was clearly not vandlism, unless you some hoe feel that it might be. Then please explain, otherwise I am sure that the Rollback was purely accidental and that you really only wanted to just revert.--[[User:Jojhutton|Jojhutton]] ([[User talk:Jojhutton|talk]]) 01:48, 8 September 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:As I was saying, my greatest concern was your use of Rollback on an edit that was clearly not vandalism, yet you previously stated that you thought that it was vandalism. Can you state a policy or guideline that would lead you to believe that the edit that you reverted using rollback was vandlism? Otherwise your unauthorized use of rollback should be reported and discussed by others, as well as the few other times that I found that you used rollback on edits that were not clearly vandalism. Remember that use of Rollback is for rolling back vandalism only, and just because you personally do not agree with the edit, does not make it vandalism.--[[User:Jojhutton|Jojhutton]] ([[User talk:Jojhutton|talk]]) 00:42, 9 September 2010 (UTC) |

FYI, the edit summary you used is the reason I tag them as such; it draws the attention of an admin to an inappropriate page. Because I edit as an IP, edit filters usually prevent me from blanking the page myself. Also, as an IP, my doing so is often misinterpreted as vandalism or simply discounted as unproductive. It's much better done by somebody with the mop. [[Special:Contributions/69.181.249.92|69.181.249.92]] ([[User talk:69.181.249.92|talk]]) 02:36, 9 September 2010 (UTC) |

Hello. I suppose I should have asked you about this earlier. I figure you wouldn't have first deleted and then undeleted the page unless there was a very good reason for it. I'm interested in hearing [[User_talk:Fastily#Category:Recipients_of_the_Silver_Buffalo_Award|what you have to say]]. Because I'd like to have a professional and cordial discussion, I am willing put all my differences, grudges, and gripes I have against you aside, permanently, if you'd be willing to do the same. I hope you will agree.

*FYI, the page was not eligible under G4, [[WP:CSD]] is very clear, saying in the third paragraph "Administrators should take care not to speedy delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases. If a page has survived a prior deletion discussion, it should not be speedy deleted except for newly discovered copyright violations." Nyttend, your decision to restore was correct in policy, Fastily's deletion was contr-policy, as was the tagging by an editor who had previously been warned about just this sort of thing.

== National Register lists in Oregon == |
|||
Hi. I've noticed you making a large series of changes today to the list articles of National Register of Historic Places listings in Oregon. I have a concern because I find that I disagree with nearly every one of your individual changes (with a very few exceptions). I already undid your omnibus edit to [[National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Oregon]] whole-cloth, before thinking that there was a better way to engage over how these articles should develop. In that spirit, I'd like to invite you to a dialog about what you think needs to change in these articles. |
|||
Disclosure: I have a long history with these articles, most of which I authored from scratch. I respect and am very cognizant of [[WP:OWN]], and have no desire to be an unyielding blockage or serious impediment to your work (especially since I'm on a 90+% wikibreak right now). At the same time, I care quite a bit about these articles, so I want to be sure that developments are carefully considered. |
|||
What I'd like to do is go through each detail-level change you've made so far and state my reasons why I'm uncomfortable with it. My objections to each detail-level change are of various natures and intensities, so we may come to different consensuses in different cases (''trans.'': I'll back down more quickly in some cases than others). I'd then like to hear your response to each item, with your counter-reasoning or whatever. If after a bit of discussion you remain unconvinced by what I have to say and want to stick with your change, then I'll just go back to my wikibreak and defer to you. Meanwhile, I'd appreciate it if you could suspend further edits to these articles until we finish our back-and-forth, so that your ongoing edits can be informed by our discussion. |
|||
Does this work for you? Thanks. —[[User:Ipoellet|Ipoellet]] ([[User talk:Ipoellet|talk]]) 17:32, 9 September 2010 (UTC) |

:Re: your response at my talk page. Yes, I understand that you have concerns about these articles - that's why you're editing them. No, I didn't explain my concerns in detail above - that's why I proposed the discussion format that I did.

Hi. You deleted my article about [[Novella Carpenter]] yesterday saying that the article didn't indicate her significance.
