Thank you! edit
Hi, I happened to be reading through a number of articles on plague doctors and noticed they shared some sources so I assumed one person had done a lot of the work. It turned out to be you. I just wanted to stop by to say thank you for the work you did on these articles! Ryan Vesey 01:50, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
Other sources edit
Doug Coldwell — Hello again. Looks like another nice article in the making. Below is a publication I came across in my travels you might be interested in. It's available for download at archive.org. Evidently Loomis was also involved in the lumber industry, to one extant or another, in the Bay City area, transporting lumber along the Saginaw River.
- Hotchkiss, George Woodward (1876). The County of Bay and Bay City, Mich., embracing a brief sketch of their organization, pioneer history, growth & development, from 1857 to 1876. Bay City, Printed by A.M. Birney at the Chronicle printing house.
- Sawyer, Alvah L. (1911). A history of the northern peninsula of Michigan and its people; its mining, lumber and agricultural industries]
Just a note, I'm currently interested in this era of the mid-west, and have been writing a number of articles ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) involving steamboat activity on the upper Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Steamboats are referred to numerous times in this book also which were used to transport lumber (and iron ore) to points about the Great Lakes and greater area.
Also, if you're ever of the mind to write about George Woodward Hotchkiss, here's a good source from where to start. Hotchkiss, as you may know, was a pioneer lumber dealer, journalist, who retired from twelve years' service as secretary of the Illinois Lumber & Builders Supply Dealers' Association. Enjoy. -- User:Gwillhickers Gwillhickers (talk) 19:46, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- ooooooppppssss - almost had an edit conflict.
- Gwillhickers - Well thanks for the compliment on the article. Thanks for tip on the books. There is a possibility that User:7&6=thirteen will be collaborating with me on this one as a Did You Know. We have worked together on many articles over the years and shared DYK credits. As you can see by my User Page I have over 500 Did You Knows and a few computers.
- It so happens I grew up in Flushing, Michigan. It's about 50 miles south of Bay City.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:17, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- Doug Coldwell — Don't know if this is the best place to post this, but I've been downloading and searching Hotchkiss' works wondering about the role of steamboats in the lumber industry in those days and came across the below passage, which has opened up a whole new area of interest for me.
- "Of all streams of the State, only the Saginaw, the Grand and the St. Joseph Rivers present facilities for steamboat navigation for any distance from their mouths, but all were capacious enough to float the needful supplies of timber from the forest to the mill, without endangering or interfering with any other industry which might require the use of the stream."<Hotchkiss, 1898, p.44>
- Hotchkiss, 1898, mentions the names of many steamboats, too many to enumerate here. Upon cursory review I can already see that the history is fascinating. Many thanks for opening this door for me. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:56, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Walk-in-the-water (steamboat) DYK nomination edit
Doug, there was one last hitch that's been resolved. ALT1a was a bit too general, i.e.Great Lakes, so I added the phrase from the original hook which is more specific. Could you give Template:Did you know nominations/Walk-in-the-water (steamboat) another look-see? New hook (ALT1b) is supported by a statement and source found in the article's lede. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:26, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Italicized title edit
- As you created the Northwestern Lumberman with an italicized title, I was wondering how you did this, without employing the {{itallicize title}} template at the beginning of the text / markup. I'm about to create an article about a steamboat and need to know. — Info would be much appreciated. Like this?
- [[Any ole vessel (steamboat)|''Any ole vessel''(steamboat)]] -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- I don't know how I did that. Maybe it's built into the template Infobox magazine somehow. I don't even see how I did it on the day I created the new article. No secret method that I know of. I'm stumped how that happened.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:46, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- Suggestion - Ask the Help Desk that question or if there is a steamboat infobox.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:50, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Gwillhickers: Yep! = it IS IN FACT built into the infobox template and therefore came up that way automatically when I used the template for the Infobox magazine.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I just went ahead and did it the 'Ole fashioned' way, and simply included the italicize template at the beginning of the markup. Wasn't sure if a ship's info-box would create an italicized title. Anyway, I just created the Ontario (steamboat) article, about the first steamboat to see active service on Lake Ontario. while I was at it I created, Category:Steamboats of the Great Lakes. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hook too long edit
Regarding Template:Did you know nominations/Edwin S. Votey, the hook is way over the limit of 200 characters. Applying WP:DYKSG#C3 in the most lenient way, counting the shortest bold link and not the two longer ones, it's still 278 characters. The (pictured) doesn't count, but " with 1st player piano" does; replacing it with just (pictured), it would be 256. In any case, the hook will have to drastically trimmed, or an entirely new hook could be substituted. I'm mentioning this here rather than on the nom itself because sometimes people avoid reviewing when there have already been comments, and I didn't want to cause any delays.

William Morrison DYK nomination edit
Hello again Doug. I just finished reviewing your DYK nomination for William Morrison (chemist). Everything checks out, however, I would add the year date of 1880 to the end of the hook to give it a historical time frame setting:

Jenkins Journal edit
I just sent you an email with the Jenkins Journal attached to it. Thought you might find it interesting. Enjoy.
On another note, re: newspapers.com, though I'm not inclined to do a seven day free trial I am curious as to what sort of coverage the New York Times and the Congressional Globe gave to the Salary Grab Act. The Congressional Globe was founded in 1873, the same year as the passage of the Salary Grab Act legislation, so I'm wondering if its beginning was prompted by the Salary Grab Act. If you have the time could you check to see what articles come up with these newspapers? If the Congressional Globe was founded as a direct result of the Salary Grab Act controversy, the issue would make an interesting addition to the article. The Jenkins Journal Salary Grab account makes numerous references to the Globe. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:21, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Gwillhickers: Got it! Thanks for Jenkins Journal. I'll probe around to see what sort of coverage the New York Times and the Congressional Globe gave to the Salary Grab Act. I got my subscription (expensive) from the Wikipedia Library for free. All you have to do is apply. Just use the reason that you need the subscription is that you will be using it for references for upcoming new articles. I just renew each year then and they keep giving it to me. I use it on all my articles for clip references and have for years. No other editor has objected to the clips as references. It was a major source of references for the recent 5-in-1 Did You Know I did. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:22, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Gwillhickers: BTW, the Michigan Stove Company 5-in-1 Did You Know was entered in the Hall of Fame. I have 5 in the Multiple Article Hook Hall of Fame. My major source for the 30-in-1 was the Library of Congress - which I use a lot.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:50, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- The newspaper clips are reliable sources, and my only objection, such that it was, was that there were no names attached, and that in the case of the Salary Grab Act article, there were so many, in the face of historical journals, biographies and the like. I've had several after thoughts, which is why several of the clips are used as cites in the article, and is why I'm inquiring about the N.Y.T. and the Globe. Hope I didn't put you off, or seem unappreciative of your tireless efforts. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 11:59, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- For the year span 1870-2000 no articles show up for the Congressional Globe and THREE show up for the New York Times -
- The New York Times, 28 Nov 1873, Fri • Page 3
- The New York Times, 10 Nov 1901, Sun • Page 22
- The New York Times, 10 Mar 1904, Thu • Page 8

- @Gwillhickers: Consider applying for the free subscription of Newspapers.com through the Wikipedia Library. Of the 533 Did You knows I have to my credit, 499 of the articles I created. The other 34 I was the co-author. One was even a librarian at the Library of Congress. She asked me to help her on her Did You Know.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:50, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks!! Yes, I will look into the free subscription. I think the reason why the Congressional Globe didn't show up in your search is that it is more of a journal than a newspaper. Will have to look into that further. It just strikes me as curious that, with the firestorm of controversy over the Salary Grab Act in 1873, Congress, the benefactors of such an Act, was required to record its proceedings via the Globe that same year. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 13:10, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
