The Pleasant Hill link should be fixed to link to Pleasant Hill Historic District (Macon, Georgia). I'd be happy if someone could improve the Beda-Etta College entry and get it across the line. God (or whatever secular being you prefer) bless you all. Thanks for all the help!!! Wow. I'm blown away. Take care. FloridaArmy (talk) 18:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Lewis Hudison Persely, Louis Pursley, Louis Persely, L. H. Persley and Lewis Pursley should redirect to Lewis Persely. Also, in the Pleasant Hill entry there's a redlink for him that needs cleanup. FloridaArmy (talk) 18:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

In Pleasant Hill entry, move elementary school down and combine those paras. Henry W. Lucas was an artist not a civil rights activist. William P. Randall was the civil rights leader. It appears the William P Randall County Government Center is named for him. FloridaArmy (talk) 18:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

At least his middle initial P. should be included. I noted on the entry's talkpage that I believe his full name is William Patrick Mabson Jr. The article might be better named William P. Mabson. In Austin here in 1897? Freedom Hill link should be followed by (now Princeville, North Carolina) with the direct link. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:57, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I am doing some more digging into Mabson (see the talk page) and will be expanding it, etc. As far as I can tell he is Sr. but I haven't yet put all the pieces together. And may I take a moment to curse Google Books "snippet view", lol. I know its better than nothing but so frustrating! S0091 (talk) 18:39, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks User:KylieTastic. I would combine the first two sentences to avoid redundancy. No need to say something twice in consecutive sentences. Thanks for all your help. I will try to remember to add a photoreq to the entry's talkpage.. FloridaArmy (talk) 21:27, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I combined those two sentences (I'm obviously too tired to still be editing as I missed that! Thanks), and I've added photo req to to the talk. Just noticed your on a temp block which I guess is why you didn't respond to the ping on Talk:African-American officeholders during and following the Reconstruction era - some good improvements their, though a finished list may still take some years. KylieTastic (talk) 21:33, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I saw the comment and was going to point them to Foner's book and the other ones for Florida North Carolina, and Louisiana etc. that cover most of the names, but decided it was best to say nothing. They're doing great work. I hope if they remove anything they post it it on the talkpage for followup. Getting the names included and complete seems more urgent to me than weeding out the not yet cited, but what do I know. Still so far to go and so many names to add, but it's getting there. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Blocked

I have blocked you for a week for violating your edit restrictions. You have recently been creating articles directly in the main namespace, and you have more than 20 currently active AfC requests. Once your block expires, please make sure you comply with your restrictions. —Kusma (talk) 14:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I have never intentionally created an entry in mainspace since the restriction was imposed and I've moved entries back to draftspace whenever I've become aware of an entry I created in the wrong place. I'm not perfect. Searching for title names and alt names and then creating the proper title is something I try to get right. Can you please link to the mistaken creations I made? Thank you. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Armstrong Music Publishing (2), Draft:Armstrong Music Publishing were both created at Armstrong Music Publishing and moved out of mainspace by others. For your excessive AfC nominations, see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Another_way_forward. —Kusma (talk) 15:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

That was an accident. I was editing it and had no idea it was deleted. It doesn't tell you anything was deleted if you are editing an entry and it's deleted. It just saves it. I really wish you had discussed your concerns with me first. I edit in good faith and make every effort to comply with all the rules and restriction that have been imposed on me. I am human so sometimes I make mistakes. If I catch them or they're pointed out to me I am happy to correct. I would have unsubmitted some drafts if you had let me know there was an issue. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

The creations in article space issue was clarified to you (with a block) at User_talk:FloridaArmy/Archive_89#August_2022, less than six months ago. Going to more than double your allowed AfC requests is not just one mistake, but quite a lot. As you see from the admin noticeboard thread, you need to be far more careful if you wish to continue editing here. —Kusma (talk) 15:25, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Your link shows User:Barkeep49 blocked me after I created Draft:Huntsville City Hall in mainspace by accident. And in that discussion I linked to examples where I moved entries from mainspace to draftspace whenever I realized where I had created them in the wrong place. I also inplemented Barkeep's suggestion about coloration of edit page (even though I don't think it helps any). How exaclty does that show I'm not making every effort to comply? Are you assuming bad faith? FloridaArmy (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Repeated accidents do make it difficult to believe you are making "every effort". And I am assuming that you do not count your AfC requests although your editing restriction (see here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1040#FloridaArmy_and_AfC_woes) tells you to do so. That's at least 30 accidents. —Kusma (talk) 15:40, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Also repeated corrections. User:Kusma would you consider limiting the block to mainspace editing so I can continue to work on these subjects in draftspace? I would like to continue the momentum and keep going while the fire is burning and the iron is hot. I would be okay with an even longer block on mainspace editing if that's an approproate compromise, but I'd like to limit the disruption to the good work being done if that's possible. Thanks for your kind consideration. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:25, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

No, I don't think that is a good idea. Please read the recent ANI discussion in detail to understand what concerns other community members have with your edits. And the previous discussions that led to your Editing restrictions. You currently need to slow down, not keep going, as your current MO is at odds with community expectations (and so there are quite a few people calling for you to be banned from Wikipedia altogether). Please use the week to understand why that is the case (hint: it isn't racism) and to think about how you can better work with others to achieve your goals. —Kusma (talk) 17:33, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Please take a spare minute or two in the next week to think about how not to repeat the mistakes which you are aware of. The block is intended to allow you some time off from your established editing routine with an expectation that when you resume editing, you will have understood the problem and will have found a way to avoid it. Please use the time you would have devoted to editing to just think about everyhing. You're not being blamed and punished for accidentally taking some undesirable actions; however, if you don't show that you have a genuine will to address the problem, you will be blamed for not taking the community's conerns serously enough. You can either figure out for yourself how not to repeat the same mistakes, or you can seek help and guidance from others, with the same goal. I have great faith that things will be fine, and I'm willing to help you in any way I can. Sincerely—Alalch E. 16:34, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I absolutely take all the comments made into consideration. That's why I created Draft:Missing Pieces to better organize the subjects and make collaboration easier. I see it's not considered appropriate for draftspace so hopefully I can figure out a community space for it. I don't want it in my personal space as that would give the impression it's not a broader community initiative. Many editors have helped. I'm always trying to get better and find better ways of meeting the demands made of me. If I'm forced to take a week off in the middle of working out the issues raised that will definitely be a punishment that will disrupt my progress in resolving these issues and moving forward. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:46, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Please take this time to read Wikipedia:Namespace and linked pages and learn how you are completely (as in 100%) wrong that having said page in your userspace would create any such impression, and that perhaps an opposite impression can be created by having it in another (wrong) namespace. Sincerely—Alalch E. 17:00, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Impressions aren't always based in policy. Custom is that people don't edit subjects in other editors userspaces unless invited to do so and that they are at least careful about doing so. Draftspace is another story.

I also don't see anything in the draftpage policy page that indicates that page is inappropriate for that space. Just the opposite. Draftspace is for working on articles. But I respect consensus and will find an alternative solution. I can say with confidence, and want to reiterate, that you are 1000% wrong that the average editor considers userspaces akin to open public editing spaces on Wikipedia. Many editors don't even feel comfortable working on drafts started by other editors. Claiming that userspace is as inviting and open to editors as draftspace and that they are similar in that way is ridiculous. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:33, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

It isn't ridiculous, post the link to the to-be userspace page on top of your talk page and invite everyone to contribute to the list, and add a notice to the page itself that everyone is invited to edit. Apart from that, it's ordinarily fine for others to edit collaboratively-minded userspace pages obviously intended to coordinate efforts. Sincerely —Alalch E. 17:45, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't know how much clearer I can be that I don't want it to be a userspace page. I want it to be a community page. FloridaArmy (talk) 18:40, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

FA, I see where you are coming from but where it really belongs make take some time to figure out so I think your User space is the best fit for now. S0091 (talk) 18:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

You can't force something you have created to be hosted by the community on a common page unless you get consensus for it. And considering the very broad scope of your collection in that list, I doubt any single project will want to take the list. But some projects have redlists for "future work" in their specific areas. You could, for example, add red-linked proposed women bios to one of Women-in-Reds redlists which can be found at Category:Women in Red redlink lists if you find a redlist which has criteria which would include some of your proposed articles. You could add the one on the NC Populist/People's Party to Wikipedia:WikiProject North Carolina/Requested articles. Not all projects have such things, so this might be limited. But if you don't want it in your userspace (which as others have pointed out is a normal and fine place to have it) then the only short-term alternative is deletion, which I don't think you want. But it can't be in draft space, that simply is not the proper area for it. It would be like sleeping in your garage and parking your car in the living room or selling orange juice in jugs labeled "milk"; it just does not belong there, and, knowing this, other editors will not use it as an area for collaboration. -Indy beetle (talk) 23:36, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

As of today, 49 editors have contributed to User:Bilorv/Challenges. I don't think any of them felt any hesitation in doing so, when the lead explicitly welcomed their input. The only thing stopping you from creating a similar page is a lack of confidence in your fellow editors. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Briquette entre poteaux

Hello, FloridaArmy. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Briquette entre poteaux".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:44, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Rando mutterings

• María C. Colón Sanchez María Colón Sánchez
• Antonina Uccello
• Caroline O'Day
• Margaret Morton, I was looking for Margaret E. Morton. Margaret Morton should really be a disambig page. The Scottish curler isn't more notable than the other two.
• Edna Negron Rosario, needs a photoreq on talkpage
• Fidelia Hoscott Fielding and Martha Uncas, I don't understand the affinity for one sentence intro paragraphs. Uncas should redirect to the other entry at least.
• Margaret Rudkin

Marian Anderson's concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., organized after D.A.R. refused to let an African American perform at Constitution Hall

The Constitution Hall entry should really note it was segregated in the opening paragraphs. There's an entire section discussing some aspects of the issue. There's a wonderful Jstor article about Eleanor Roosevelt's involvement in working to change the policy that would be great to cite in the entry. According to the article Eleanor Roosevelt helped realign voting patterns in the U. S. with her civil rights efforts. When was Constitution Hall desegregated?

The photo is also missing from Daughters of the American Revolution#Segregation and exclusion of African Americans, and later inclusion. Quite a section title! That entry's opening paragraphs should note the issues covered in the section. FloridaArmy (talk) 11:44, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

• T. V. Gibbs should redirect to Thomas Van Renssalaer Gibbs

• Zachariah Wines appears to be the correct spelling. Needs to be fixed in legislator list. Zachariah Wilson Wines and Zachariah W. Wines should link to Zachariah Wines. Also probably Z. W. Wines. Is the name spelled Zacariah in some documents? If so links from that name would also be good.

• Terrance Carroll needs a photoreq

• Broadway High School should be a disambig page

Draft:Frederick C. Olney

I thought this might interest you. Cheers! BD2412 T 05:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Excellent! Well, now you have to do writeups on the two predecessors who are interesting (John Henry Ballou and Maurice Baumann). And then there's also the TV reporter and author (Hidden History of Rhode Island: Not-to-Be-Forgotten Tales of the Ocean State author Glenn V. Laxton) who wrote on one. He at least needs a summary of who he was in his station's entry (did his book about R.I. receive substantial coverage)?

I do have a couple questions for you User:BD2412, are you against including redlinks? An editor wrote that redlinks can be as good as a stubby incomplete entry, which I thought was interesting since redlinks get removed.

Secondly the entry repeatedly refers to him as African American but it also notes he had Native American heritage. Should we say "African American-Native American lawyer? These type of issues are why I avoid constructions like "African-American lawyer" and have engaged in a lonely campaign to have this type of description avoided on Wikipedia. If you try putting white journalist or white lawyer in an entry you'll see it's not favored except for minorities which I also think is problematic. Plus it's overly ambiguous. I would just cover his background in the entry where relevant.

Thank you kindly for all your great work and your help with mine BD. Enjoy all your adventures. FloridaArmy (talk) 10:28, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Hamilton Houston#User Kemet - ethnic disruption is an example of the needless problems overbroad, ambiguous, and inconsistently applied phrasings we use in opening paragraphs cause. Stanford recently caused a kerfluffle over using "American" A good encyclopedia needs to be accurate and specific. Asking readers to do guesswork about what we mean isn't helpful, and the ambiguity that is now the norm here with our sloppy usage of phrases like "American writer" and "African American writer" in opening sentences will hopefully be phased out in favor of accurately describing what we are trying to say elsewhere. When we insist leading off entries with these descriptors are we addressing citizenship? Ethnicity? Where they live? Who knows? FloridaArmy (talk) 11:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Charles Hamilton Houston needs a photoreq on its talkpage. As per above I would say he was a lawyer... in the United states and cover his background as appropriate. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:49, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

To be honest, I have a long list already, so I may or may not add to it. With respect to redlinks, however, we have a guideline—WP:REDYES—which says to add them where they may be useful. BD2412 T 16:29, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

The note you add at the bottom of pages helps? I found your entry on interactions interesting. I know I've said it before but it seems a shame so many manifestly notable subjects are hidden away in draftspace. If you stopped editing what would happen to all those entries?

Dream

I just ordered a hardcover edition of Frank Lincoln Mather's Who's Who of the Colored Race (1915), it's available online link at Google Books (there's also a 1976 reprint from Gale Research). I am excited to move forward and continue the work that needs to be done. I want to again thank everyone who has helped in the effort. So many editors have done so much great work, and I truly appreciate all the kind words and contributions so many terrific editors have made to help. I stated my thanks above somewhere but it probably got lost in the shuffle, so let me again say THANK YOU and God bless you all to everyone here. Have a healthy and happy 2023 and beyond.

Comments on above list

Hi FA, that is a pretty dated Who's Who, what you need is access to African American National Biography. Unfortunately not available through WP:Library and access to American National Biography is not working right now. You might be able to find in a library or gain online access some other way. fiveby(zero) 15:38, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Well, the only entry i find from your above list of red links is Jackson, Giles Beecher so maybe not so useful. You could probably obtain that entry through WP:RX which is a great resource. fiveby(zero) 15:48, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

As a starting point for missing subjects, this Who's Who and Monroe Work's books filter subjects to a certain time period I find useful. I think adding the entries from Gates and Higgenbotham's (sp?) tome is a great suggestion, and I think those would be considered notable if they have substantial entries?

I find subjects like the Lincoln Jubilee fascinating. For example the Historical Review that started off from some of the gatherees in attendance. Or the businesses. And publications that covered it. I keep waiting for someone to expand my shoddy start so I can read more about it. The organizers are noted in Mathers book and the proclomation? state government made in support of it is even reprinted in that source. Maybe I prefer older stuff or roots? I don't know. I appreciate the suggestions. User:Fiveby are you saying my list isn't useful or that Gates' tome isn't helpful with these subjects? I wasn't sure. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:11, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Ok, i see, using it to identify topics without more recent coverage. Problem is it is not going to lead to the resources required to build an article. Along those lines i wonder if we could find many of these publications online? I think it's the bibliography for Black Biography, 1790-1950 from W. E. B. Du Bois Institute and predecessor to AANB? Maybe a list of Bibliographic indexs and databases would be useful, for instance authors in Index to Black American writers in collective biographies? Here's Work's A bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America you mentioned if you hadn't already seen it on archive. fiveby(zero) 16:59, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry to see you acquired a brief block

I thought you might like to know that I appreciate your work and work ethic. Not everything you create is "camera ready" but a far higher percentage feels to be over the years.

I applaud your coverage of the hard to research areas of US history. I'm sorry that you feel, sometimes, that this placed is biased against the area you specialise in. I suspect that history is biased, the evidence being the difficulty you have in finding RS references.

This search will help you to keep your simultaneous submissions down to the restricted number. I know I've shared it with you before.

I want you to succeed. Please do not get blocked again. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks User:Timtrent. Addressing systemic bias requires more than a one at a time in depth approach. For MANY of these subjects there is a lot of coverage much of it just isn't available online. There were lots of newspaper in African American communities. I hope I've raised awareness of some of the issues at least. The discussion has helped clarify the problem for me and helped ke move towards an approach that is workable to begin resolving it. I tried to add the link you gave me to my sandbox, but as I'm blocked it didn't work. I will try to remember to do it (some of these discussions can get a little buried) but I think I can remember to attend to it a week from now. It's a useful and helpful link, also perhaps for anyone wanting to help clear my backlog. Maybe I should put it atop this page? I am a bit paranoid about those watching me and waiting for me to make a mistake. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:03, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Is your User page open to you? I have my toolkit on mine. Have a look. And yes, I am sure some people are waiting for some editors to trip up. Wikipedia reminds me of Lord of the Flies at times.

We are meant to have no issue with offline references provided one can give chapter and verse. Reviewers have a simple job, though not an easy one. Our role is to accept a draft when we have an honest belief that it has a better than 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process. There is currently a good set of newish reviewers whose comfort level may not be sufficient to make the judgement well. Couple that with a backlog drive and you can see why some drafts come under scrutiny that is unduly harsh 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:12, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I try to imagine what it was like for Thomas Oscar Fuller, please someone write up his entry so I don't have to (he's discussed and some sources noted in a thread above), and walk into the capitol buildings in North Carolina; the last, or one of the last, and perhaps the only African American state senator in North Carolina at that time. What was it like to struggle against the tide of white supremacy, to try and advocate for decent schools, to seek to ride public transportation with white people, to want to be able to go to a restaurant in Raleigh with his colleagues, and to want to attend a theater show or church and not have to sit in the balcony. Of course there were segregated institutions, part of the story we need to tell. But to serve in state government with the animus and history. The violence. The threats. And later to see these efforts denigrated and attacked, misrepresented and lampooned over the decades that followed. The courage in the face of such extraordinary cruelty and brutality is truly awesome to me. The same for the lawyers and other officials. Mayors, sheriffs, county commissioners. Imagine being a Black sheriff in the South back then. What would it have been like? Obviously that would have been in a community of freedmen and their families, but facing the whole power structure and history, and being able to rise to a position of authority and then to have those rights stripped away again for many decades. It's stunning. Just the struggles to be able to get an education, and to build schools, even grade schools, and then finally some high schools and colleges. It's an awesome struggle and terrible how difficult the effort was. That's why I think it's so important we include these subjects. Most people just don't know anything about what went on, and not just in the South. In the New England, out West, and of course in colonies. I think it's important we have honest and accurate accounts of events and history. Take care. Thanks for your help. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:35, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Thomas Oscar Fuller

I came across Thomas Oscar Fuller / T. O. Fuller / Thomas O. Fuller noted as a minister and the first African American to serve in the North Carolina Senate (1899-1900). Also the last until 1974. Pretty long after Reconstruction. North Carolina didn't have African American state senators during Reconstruction? Seems kind of unbelievable. Anyway, I will return to filling in the gaps as best I can and chasing down the missing pieces as soon as I am able. Take care. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:24, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

First from Macon maybe? I don't know. There were many before him. I'll have to reread the article I read that made the claim and see if I missed something or they just got it wrong. Last African American to serve in North Carolina's state senate before Reconstruction? Henry Eppes and others were earlier. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:36, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

It seems he was last. And left after disenfranchisement.

Well, think i've learned not to trust a Gale publication with Contemporary in the title. fiveby(zero) 06:23, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks User:Fiveby, that's an interesting source. I think User:KylieTastic can confirm that we often find contradictions and have to correct what has been stated in some sources about these subjects. Just sorting out their correct names can be an odyssey (official documents used mostly initials). I guess we know where the article I read got it's misinformation. First / Last, what's the difference? Only kidding. What's a few decades between friends? Thanks again. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Yup, so many mistakes, so many similar names and with the lack of reporting on some (especially minorities) it is a huge minefield. I've even submitted multiple corrections to Freedom's Lawmakers where I have multiple sources that disagree. We can but do are best and if no consensus leave notes about discrepancies. KylieTastic (talk) 14:04, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

I believe I read he was the only African American in the North Carolina Senate at least for his last term (ca. 1899). I try to imagine what that was like. I find it fascinating. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I see some quotes from Helen G. Edmonds' The Negro and Fusion Politics in North Carolina, 1894–1901, so that is probably the source to find, but i always have trouble with UNC Press ebooks. They should be available through WP:Library: EBSCO, JSTOR, or MUSE, but can't ever seem to find the one i'm looking for. Also saw his Grandfather Clause speech mentioned, so that would be something to find.

Went through about half of the attendees adding red-links for the easier ones. College presidents and prominent ministers could all probably generate an article with more work, but it's a lot easier to create a Hovey Field article than a article for George Rice Hovey[1]. fiveby(zero) 19:05, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

By the way, saw you mentioned a few times sorting out names. A sometimes useful way is to use the VIAF, librarians have some experience here. If you have a G. R. Hovey, you can easily find Rice, George Hovey, 1860-1943 (if they have published), wikidata entry George Rice Hovey (Q94367466), WorldCat identity, etc. and sometimes some sources. fiveby(zero) 19:26, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Hah! Everyone has the name wrong, probably because the librarians at LOC screwed up! A poor example i guess, and shows why you can't cite the authority files, but still was easy to find our Virginia Union president. fiveby(zero) 19:43, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Article creation in article space

Hey FA, If you want, you can add some code to your common.js file that would prevent you from accidentally creating a new article in article space, but would still allow you to edit existing articles in article space. See User talk:Writ Keeper#Article space creation block. I could help you set it up if you're interested. No obligation, of course, just an option you can take or leave. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:10, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely. That would be fantastic. You have my permission to do it if that's possible otherwise I will try to figure it out and hopefully not destroy anything major. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:39, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I'd forgotten that you can't edit that page while blocked, and I can't edit it because it requires "interface administrator" permissions to edit someone else's javascript page. User:Writ Keeper has offered to do it; he has that permission, and he's the one that whipped up the code anyway. Plus he's 10x smarter than me regarding javascript stuff, so you'll be in better hands than mine. Floquenbeam (talk) 16:16, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Okay, based on the above, I've gone ahead and added the script to your common.js here. If you ever want to remove the script, you can just go to that page and remove that line (or revert my edit), and it'll be gone. With the script installed, if you go to a page in mainspace that doesn't exist yet, you'll see the "edit" button will have changed into a "go to draft" button, which will take you to the draftspace page with the same name. If you happen to get to the edit page for a mainspace article that doesn't exist, a popup will remind you that you're in mainspace, and offer again to take you to the draftspace page. You shouldn't see any changes to any mainspace article that already exists, or anything outside of mainspace. Let me know if you run into any issues, or have any other questions or concerns. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:33, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Great! Thanks. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:43, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately this approach doesn't work because it prevents me from creating redirects User:Floquenbeam. User:Writ Keeper could you please restore my settings to how they were? Thank you. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:03, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Sure, done. I'll note that the script doesn't *completely* remove your ability to create new pages like redirects; when you're on a page that doesn't exist, the "edit" buttons will have changed, but clicking on the button that says "Article" in the upper left of the window (next to the "Talk" button) will still take you to the edit page, and if you click "Cancel" on the popup, you'll stay on the page and should be able to create it without further interruption (though you might have to hit "cancel" again if you preview your changes or something). If that's enough, you can re-enable the script by undoing this edit. Cheers, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 17:12, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library

Hi FloridaArmy, I am wondering if you generally have access to the Wikipedia Library. Recent discussions called this issue to my attention, as well as the scholarly and older news sources I found there to expand Old Man Minick and some of the related articles. Beccaynr (talk) 18:11, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

FloridaArmy, I would recommend getting access to Newspapers.com. A lot of your articles would not get rejected if you used it. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:35, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

I think I established an account and may have tried to use it. Not everything is eady or straightforward. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:35, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't have much experience with Newspapers.com, although I find its OCR feature most helpful when others link to it. But for the Wikipedia Library, particularly ProQuest and sometimes the Gale databases, there can be access to older resources, and via EBSCOhost, access to scholarly resources that might otherwise only be available as a preview through GScholar. I find the Advanced Search features on the WP Library and ProQuest often to be the most useful, and tend to try various keywords in addition to a subject's name, especially for more obscure subjects. Please feel free to contact me if you run into challenges with the WP Library - I think it could be a helpful resource, although it does take time to get oriented to the databases. Cheers, Beccaynr (talk) 18:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

For many of FA's articles I have found Newpapers.com the most useful aside from Google Books (although GBook's little snippets drive me crazy lol) and its not hard to use but depending on the what you are searching, it can be time consuming to slog through. For example, Adam Beittel was easy (not a common name) but Draft:Artie Young (see talk) has been a bear because of name changes (marriages) and not entirely an uncommon name so I had to narrow geographic focus and time period. However, for many subjects its the best place to find sources. I also agree Proquest which has historical NYT and Gail are always worth a shot as is JSTOR. At worst you have spent 5 or so minutes finding nothing. S0091 (talk) 18:33, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Beccaynr what is OCR? S0091 (talk) 18:36, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

An example is here, towards the end of the page, it says "Show 1 article text (OCR)" - when clicked on, there is full text available. It is not the prettiest format, but I tend to find in more readable (and easier to pull quotes from). Beccaynr (talk) 20:09, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Your editing restriction

Hi FloridaArmy, just a reminder that your editing restriction is to have no more than 20 pending AfC submissions at any time. If this search shows a "next 20" at the bottom you have more than 20. As of right now, you have about 45. You should not submit further drafts (as you did at Draft:South River Forest) until the number has gone below 20. If you think this restriction is stupid, you should go to WP:ANI and appeal it. If you continue to violate your restriction, you will probably get blocked again. —Kusma (talk) 22:02, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I will unsubmit that one and a disambig page I submitted for Broadway High School (Draft:Broadway High School). FloridaArmy (talk) 22:18, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Of course I am in a bind because I have User:Liz deleting them and I'm not allowed to submit them. Pretty insane. And I haven't edited in a week and the backlog hasn't changed much. Talk about a massive waste of time.

A suggestion

If you'd like, FA, since we've worked on stuff in the past. If you want to let me know about drafts you think are ready, I can check them to see if I agree or not and, if I do agree, then I'll submit them to AfC. So that will let you have some oversight on your submissions from another editor and still have them be submitted. Just try not to overwhelm me with too many, please. :P Silverseren^C 22:08, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Okay, that would be a big help. Thanks User:Silver seren. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:19, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Are they being deleted for being over 6 months old with no edits? Or is it for another reason? Silverseren^C 22:29, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

6 months no edits. I'm not allowed to submit them or keep them as drafts. Wikipedia rules. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:50, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

There is no rule that I know of to stop you editing any draft to keep them as drafts. Any edit should just reset the 6 month G13 clock. KylieTastic (talk) 10:22, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I noticed...

I came across your work here and couldn't help but notice that you are a prodigious creator of new articles! Please have a look at some of the suggestions I added to the WiR Talk page. If any of these are of interest to you, it would be wonderful to see articles started (I would of course follow-up and add to them to the extent that I am able). I am pretty new here and am also very slow with new article creation, having thus far only published two (though I have a few in the works). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
