Welcome!

It looks like you might be new to Wikipedia. If so, let me be the first to say Welcome! The reason I noticed you is because of the changes you made to Brooklyn. As far as I can tell, every edit you made is an improvement to the article. Great job! Station1 (talk) 01:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

The Bronx

Hi, I appreciate your interest and additions to The Bronx. If you look closely at the The Bronx#The Bronx reflected in literature, song, film and television's "On screen" section, the earlier text tried to show an evolution of the way the Bronx has been shown on screen. I was wondering if you could work that into your additions of True Love, Awakenings and Finding Forrester. Awards and stars are relevant to the movies themselves, but what do the films say about the borough (e.g. Beth Abraham and its patients and staff)? It would be silly for me to attempt this, since I've never seen any of them. [Just because something was filmed in the Bronx doesn't make it that significant: for example, I was an extra in Amistad, filmed in Newport, R.I., but Newport was standing in for New Haven, Conn.; so while Amistad may say something about New Haven, it only adds very indirectly to understanding Newport.] Shakescene (talk) 23:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, again, and happy new year. It's good to see you're still around Wikipedia and actively contributing. I was wondering if your sentences about "Scullers' Row" on the Harlem River and about the attractions athwart the Bronx River might fit better in The Bronx#Parks and open space or some other part of The Bronx#Geography. We want to be as full as we can without unnecessary duplication on an article that's already over the recommended length of 100 megabytes. Best wishes —— Shakescene (talk) 07:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

DYK

On 27 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Rose Hill, Manhattan, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Looking forward to more contributions from you in future! - Mailer Diablo 17:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Weehawken, New Jersey

Please do not add content without citing verifiable, reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Weehawken, New Jersey. Doing so violates Wikipedia's policies of No Original Research and Verifiability. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please make sure you include sources that meet our policies when adding material to articles. If you have any other questions about editing, just let me know. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 20:01, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of LGBT Jews

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of LGBT Jews. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of LGBT Jews (3rd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Improving List of LGBT Jews

When I closed the AfD on this article, I noted that you had made some significant contributions to this list and other lists as well. As a bit of feedback, the lead-in paragraph for the LGBT Jews list is a little weak and could stand a bit of improvement. You might want to review this essay Creating a Better List for some ideas about how to improve this list and others you might create or edit. Thanks for your contributions to WP--Mike Cline (talk) 15:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

List of LGBT Jews

If you wish to add items to the list, you must do so with inline sources, per WP:V and WP:BLP. You cannot rely on a source that may or may not exist in a target article, or in a source you list in an edit summary. The source must be inline, in the article itself. Jayjg ^(talk) 00:35, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

You continue to add items to this list without any inline citations. Please do not do this again. Jayjg ^(talk) 00:43, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

{{tl:adminhelp}} We can help, but only if you ask a question - I've yet to find the crystal ball, and when I do, it's for the national lottery numbers.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:21, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi NYCfellow, could you be more specific as to what sort of help you need? If its a second opinion re Jayjg's comment, we have learned to be a bit cautious about listing people in either of those categories as some people treat either or both of those as a negative. So if you want to add people to such a list we really need you to also add a link to a reliable site that reports that they self identify as both gay and jewish.

New York City Council

Hi. As the creator of the Presiding Officers section of New York City Council, I decided to restore my original format, which isn't perfect, but seems more practical than the one imposed a couple of years ago by another editor preoccupied with a particular concept of visual style. I hope I've successfully incorporated the substance of all your recent additions, revisions and links. (Red links aren't pretty, but they do let other editors know about possible articles to start, as I think was the case with George McAneny.)

I've already put your talk page on my watchlist, so let me know here of any comments or ideas you may have. —— Shakescene (talk) 06:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

external links in body of article, minor tag

Hi. A couple of things. First, please don't use the minor tag for anything but truly minor edits (adding or removing a comma, for instance). You might have it defaulted in your preferences, see WP:MINOR for details. For instance, this is perfect for a minor tag.

Second, please don't add external links to the body of articles, like this and this and this. I can dig out the guideline about this, but it's proper to use a ref tag or a full cite instead of inline external links. tedder (talk) 04:26, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
