re: facility management

Hi - thanks for the message. Sometimes a pruning is needed, and that article certainly needed one. (No reference to industrial hygiene? Come on.)

Don't despair! You can look in the article's history to add back parts of it, or you can add fresh, new content. I suggest the latter, because there were two or three sections in there with spam links to sell industrial mops and trash cans (at least I thought that thing was a trash can). Generally, an overview article like this one should briefly cover the various disciplines, with more specific content to be found in the articles for those topics. As it was, it was a list followed by some original research about what that editor thought facility management should be - things like, "we can therefore conclude...".

If I can help or answer questions, let me know. It's easy for an article like that to get really long without saying anything at all, so be mindful of that. Thanks again. :-) KrakatoaKatie 19:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello again - sure, anyone can contribute, as long as they understand that the standard here at Wikipedia isn't truth. It's verifiability. We are not the publisher of first instance, which means we can't use original research, we insist on sticking to neutral point-of-view, and that all material submitted here should be attributed to a independent, reliable source. We have world-class scientists and engineers working on Wikipedia articles who completely get that part, and they understand that their contributions here must have references in reliable publications with which they have no affiliation. Some people, though, can't get past it - they're firm believers in their own education and experience, and if they write a paragraph, no one should even edit that paragraph because they're "experts". (That's interesting to me, because those guys, who in effect are saying to us, "trust me, I'm an expert," are the same ones who tell their kids that they can't trust anyone on the Internet! AARRGGHHH!)

Think of it as writing a paper with a bibliography. This paper doesn't have to go into detail about IH or safety or the other disciplines that contribute to the management of a facility, because the audience for this paper doesn't want to know how to manage a facility or a deep discussion of theories about it. They want to get an overview. And it is tough to keep it free of the self-published rambles and the spam - that's probably why I can't find a good or featured article related to this subject to show you. The closest GA I could find about management is, believe it or not, Christmas tree cultivation. Take a look at it: see how the subtopics, like pests, are briefly covered with pointers to the main articles on those topics; it's a lengthy article, but it's concise and to the point; and most importantly, look at the notes and the references. Did you ever believe there were that many published references and publications about Christmas tree cultivation? Are there that many about facility management? Probably more. I know where and what some of those are; I worked in occupational health, for a facility manager, for almost 10 years, I've been through HAZWOPER, I passed Hazmat Technician (both written and practical), I used to know 1910.120 (the parts applicable to my work) and NFPA 472 like the back of my hand and, like anyone who has ever worn bunker gear, I think Backdraft is the funniest movie ever made. Ask the next RN you see if s/he knows the difference between wet and dry sprinkler systems. ;-)

So of course, go for it, and if I can help, just ask. :-) KrakatoaKatie 23:32, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, take a look at the IH article to which I linked to in my first message up there. Here it's called industrial hygiene, but where you are it's called occupational hygiene. It's not the greatest article, but it's a pretty good example of how a topic with international differences is handled. Also take a look at the articles about hospitals and emergency services, like paramedic, emergency medical technician, and emergency department (which Americans commonly call "the emergency room", though most signage says "emergency department" or simply "emergency". That should give you a start. :-) - KrakatoaKatie 22:30, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and Merry Christmas to you! May the new year bless the world with peace and prosperity. :-) KrakatoaKatie 23:30, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Daniel James (Phelps, Dodge/Phelps, James & Co)

Hi, I noticed this article was moved to Article space. I also saw a note saying something about "if approved". If you intended this article to be reviewed by Articles for creation, adding the Submission template was all that was necessary. It would have eventually been moved out of your sand box. Things are really backed up right now, so it could take a week. If you want it to be reviewed by Articles for creation, I can move it to the correct location for you. If you want to leave it in Main space, I need to remove the AfC templates. The article looks like it would past with little trouble, so it's your choice. Thanks for your article. --  :- ) Don 21:53, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Don

Sorry still finding this editing a bit confusing but you left a message suggesting a way forward with my article and my reply is YES PLEASE do what would to sort this out for me so I can get it reviewed and published if it passes.

Thanks

Ted Robbens (Sidpickle)

Ted,

Let's just leave it in Main space. People have already been picking at it, and no one has proposed deletion. That is a good thing. You seem to have some idea what you are doing, you added the Talk page template. I added an infobox, I think every article worth anything should have one. You can fill what blanks you can. I'm not sure why someone removed your picture, you can put it into the infobox if you like. The same person deleted your further reading. Since theses are Wiki-links, they would actually come under "See also". I put those back. Any questions or concerns, just tag my talk page. Happy editing. --  :- ) Don 08:17, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Don: Thanks for the help. I think I have sorted out a few things. As you know research goes on and I will update as and when and try to link to other articles. Ted Sidpickle (talk) 13:28, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Sid,

NP. Your article is looking good. For me, research will end when they plant me. FYI, I think the lead is fine for the size of the article and the writing is not bad, so remove those tags after another few edit, and you have dropped of the tagger's radar. --  :- ) Don 15:08, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

An excellent and overdue article (a LOT better than start class btw). I created the Merry Hampton article and always found Baird fascinating: a regency rake-hell who somehow slipped through a wormhole and found himself in the late Victorian era. Tigerboy1966  22:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Thank you for your recent articles, including Hermann Warszawiak, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:09, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Just letting you know that I have replied to your message on my talk page. Storye book (talk) 11:41, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

As I hadn't heard from you, and time was running out, I took the liberty of nominating the article for DYK. The nomination page is here: Template:Did you know nominations/William Walsh (bishop of Dover) or you can follow it on the talk page of the article. The article will go under review in due course, and if suggestions are made for improvement, the usual convention is that you (as the main expander of the article) are welcome to make the improvements yourself if you wish - or I can do it if you like. I hope that's OK. If the nomination is successful, you will receive your first DYK banner, posted to your talk page by admin. Storye book (talk) 20:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

FYO, the article has received a positive review from a volunteer reviewer, and now admin has put it into prep area 4 here. It will soon move up the prep page into one of the queues, and then you should be able to work out when it will appear on the front page. Storye book (talk) 10:46, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

The article should appear on DYK tomorrow 26 Feb from 12.00 midday to midnight. See Prep page. However last minute reschedulings have happened before, so if you don't want to miss the fun of seeing it there, you might want to check in the morning as well. Enjoy.

DYK for William Walsh (bishop of Dover)

On 26 February 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William Walsh (bishop of Dover), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that William Walsh was Bishop of Mauritius in 1892 when the country suffered one of its worst cyclones? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/William Walsh (bishop of Dover). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, William Walsh (bishop of Dover)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank for creating the Ridsdale article. I see you also created George Alexander Baird so rogues and rakes are obviously one of your areas of expertise. The Bloomsbury article is one of my favourites as it was such a tangled tale with conflicting sources: in the end you find you have to go with "It was claimed...", "Allegedly..." "A report stated..." because the facts of the matter are unrecoverable. I would just note that to stand out as a disreputable character on the Turf in the 1830's took some doing. Tigerboy1966  17:55, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Your having a copy of the will is not an adequate source that we can cite per WP:V; Wikipedia relies on published information. Unless the Will has been published by (or at least quoted in) an independent, reliable source, we cannot use the information from it. Further, even if we can use the information, I am dubious that stating who he left manuscripts to is of encyclopedic interest; that seems more like information that should be put into a book about German's music, rather than a short encyclopedia article. It would probably be of more interest to cite a reliable source that lists where all of his manuscripts are now. Wikipedia works by WP:CONSENSUS, so if other editors agree with you that information is correctly referenced and encyclopedic, the information could go into the article over other editors' objection. Just by way of explanation, I am not "the keeper" of any article: Everyone can edit Wikipedia. But we can "watch" articles on our watchlist. I watch many articles about musical theatre before 1925, and when I believe that new information is not adequately referenced or WP:NOT encyclopedic, I remove it. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:24, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. It's not a question of what's merely relevant, it's a question of what's encyclopedically noteworthy. See WP:BALASP and WP:NOT. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:04, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

If you add information to an article, please cite your sources. See WP:V for more information. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:34, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

WP:V

The reason why two editors have reverted your additions is that they are uncited. Any Wikipedia article, and most particularly one that has passed the reviews necessary to become a featured article, must be properly cited. I don't doubt the truth of your proposed addition, but it must be adequately cited in the form used in the rest of the article. Whether we need a picture of two blue plaques is a separate matter and would be best discussed on the article talk page. Best wishes, Tim riley talk 21:12, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi there,

I saw that on you article about Hermann Warszawiak you mentioned various records you used for the vital information. I am a descendant of the Warszawiak family, and I've doing a genealogical research on it, trying to build a complete tree. I was wondering if you could share these records with me.
