Clark County, Arkansas

You reverted my edit of this article without any justification or comment. If you have any justification for labelling lynchings as 'common' in Clark County, Arkansas, please make it known. I am quite willing to be corrected if my edit is in error. Until then, I'm reverting. Tallil2long (talk) 23:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I do suggest you do some reading on Clark County, utilizing old newspaper articles instead of relying completely on online sources, which seems to be a bad habit with many on Wikipedia. I simply do not have the time nor the inclination to worry with the Clark County article. However, when I do, I shall revert it to the accurate statements that they were common in the late 19th century, in Clark County, Arkansas. The problem, I have found, is that people from that region tend to prefer ignoring anything negative, unless it is absolutely undeniable. And even then, they tend to fight it. And it is sad that they do not know their own history. Charliecow7

I haven't relied on online sources. Ouachita Baptist University has an extensive collection relating to local and county history... including those old newspapers you mention. I am not currently in the local area to do independent research nor do I have my notes with me, but I have looked somewhat into this matter before. Having said that, I fully recognize the possibility that my research was not complete enough; I'd be interested in seeing a rough list of whatever you find, including sources. As for making blanket assumptions regarding the ignorance of local residents... may I recommend consulting the individuals rather than your stereoptype of them? I will gladly share my email address for off-site correspondence. Please let me know.

Tallil2long (talk) 15:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

When I have time to return to the Clark County section, I will pass everything along to you. Also, understand that it is not my desire to make anyone or any place appear in a bad light. Quite the contrary. I came upon Clark County Arkansas quite by accident while researching massacres, namely the Huntsville Massacre, in Huntsville, Arkansas, and by way of massacres I fell onto the Liquica Church Massacre, which moved me to Clark County's page by way of an investigator that worked on that case who was originally from Amity, Arkansas, in Clark County. From there I began to research, simply on a whim, Clark County in the 19th century, which is typically my area of interest as far as timelines go. From that research, I fell into the 3rd Arkansas, and built an article on that celebrated Arkansas Confederate regiment, and several other Arkansas American Civil War regiments. I found that one had regiment originated in Clark County, and also found that two men of Clark County had been awarded the Confederate Medal of Honor. It simply snowballed from there. I feel that Clark County has a rich history during this period that is all but unknown, or seemingly so, although maybe I am mistaken as I have never been there. I did contact Ouachita Baptist University, seeking information on how the county sheriff Joseph Hulsey, preceding Sheriff James H. Abraham, had died. However, I hit a non-interested, and albeit lack of knowledge, in regards to 19th century Clark County history, which was disappointing. In any event, I will be happy to pass anything along to you. Thank you for your interest, and I hope it continues. Charliecow7

Notability of Rose Wood

A tag has been placed on Rose Wood requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb-Me^MyEars_MyMouth-timed 12:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 14:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

It falls under American folklore in notability. I thought the purpose of Wikipedia is information? If not, then it is a waste of time to have Wikipedia. If this article is deleted, it will be researched further, and added yet again with more information. Research articles that I have placed on here in the past, and you will see that I research as thorough as possible. Charliecow7

• The speedy deletion tag has been removed from the article, as another user believes that the article makes a claim of notability. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Jane Ross (businesswoman)

I have nominated Jane Ross (businesswoman), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Ross (businesswoman). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. DarkAudit (talk) 20:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention. Jane Ross was one of the wealthiest women in Arkansas during her lifetime. I simply did not have the time to research it more thoroughly last night. Today I will add references which should satisfy the wikipedia guidelines. If you investigate any previous articles I have submitted, I believe you'll find that I'm quite thorough. Charliecow7

• There's little use in adding the {{hangon}} notice to the article; it has not been nominated for speedy deletion. Instead, you can contribute to the debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Ross (businesswoman). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

James Black

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to James Black, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. haz (talk) 13:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

So because of the ONE change I made, which was that his wife died of illness, you reverted EVERYTHING I DID? The main thing I was doing was setting the article up into catagories, which I will again do, and thanks for wasting the last 20 minutes work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charliecow7 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 30 January 2008

The edits reverted can easily be viewed, accessed and restored in the page's history. However, much of what you have added contains grammatical and spelling errors. Make sure that you check all of your edits with the "preview" and "show changes" buttons before saving the new version. You may also wish to have a quick read through Wikipedia's guide to citing sources, because unsourced material (especially in biographical articles) is liable to be removed. If you have any queries or want help with anything, get in touch. haz (talk) 14:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Under Construction

I suggest you using Template:Underconstruction to show that you have full intentions on coming back to things. That might help you out in terms of your articles being tagged for deletion. If that doesnt help you out, peruse the templates for the under constructions... they save tons of aggrevation!  :) Queerbubbles (talk) 15:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Don Jonz

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Don Jonz, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Don Jonz.

Hot Springs and Gunfight

Very interesting. You might want to look at WP:CITE to help your material meet verifiability requirements. The makeref tool is handy for several citation types, and creates stuff you can cut and paste on the end of sentences. Then adding {{reflist}} in the ==References== will show the sources. Details are in WP:FOOT and WP:CITET. Incidentally, you might be interested in this NY Times article. -- SEWilco (talk) 23:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Texas

I saw that you are creating articles on Texas-related topics. You might consider joining WP:WikiProject Texas - we can always use more members, especially those interested in history. I appreciate that you are interested in history too; sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about anything. Karanacs (talk) 21:20, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Citations

Hi Charliecow7. I've noticed that you've made a lot of additions to some Texas-related articles, specifically those related to the Alamo. As a new user, I wasn't sure if you were aware of the citation policies on Wikipedia. First, be sure to use reliable, independent, third-party sources. Since so much has been written on the Alamo, it is best to use only scholarly book sources rather than web pages, except for current events, when newspapers are also considered reliable sources. The Handbook of Texas is a reliable source, but most other websites are not. Also, when you have found a reliable source, please be sure to use inline citations. These can be done by typing <ref name=mycitationanem>My citation here.</ref>. This page gives more information on the easy way to cite books. You can also look at the Battle of the Alamo article to see a good example of how to do this. There are also a lot of citation templates that can be used to make it easier to cite information. If you have any questions about how to cite sources, please let me know. Karanacs (talk) 14:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I am not new to Wikipedia. I have numerous additions, hundreds in fact, to wikipedia. I have read extensively on the topics to which you refer, and much of what was in the articles that I changed has been proven incorrect. If the reference that I attached includes the name of a historian, one who has thoroughly researched the Battle of the Alamo, then it is as reliable as any other opinions on the topic, and if you read closely, if there is doubt, I write that there is doubt, or that these opinions are contested. THAT is the purpose of wikipedia, to inform, from all angles. Yes, much has been written about the battle, but much of what has been written, including much of what I edited, was the same as what was taught in schools when I was a youth. Those facts have long since been proven incorrect. Charliecow7

The problem is that while the websites may be accurate, they are not considered reliable sources according to Wikipedia guidelines. That means anyone who goes into an article that you've worked on and wants to bring it to WP:GA or WP:FA status will need to redo the article with sources that do meet the WP guidelines. Inline citations are also expected; by not using those it is more difficult for readers and future editors to figure out where each piece of the article actually came from. I'm working on a project now to get many Texas Revolution related articles to FA status, most importantly Battle of the Alamo, and any help you can provide with reliable sources that are cited with inline citations would be much appreciated. Karanacs (talk) 15:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

And I see your point. But you must also see mine. Wikipedia can either be one of one thousand sources on the topic, or it can be one that at least tries to cover all the bases, stating the main opinions as they are known. I will help in any way I can, and the last thing I want is to make things difficult for anyone. To be honest, the only reason I fell of into working on articles relating to the Texas Revolution was because, given all that I have read on the topic, Wikipedia was way off on its depiction of that battle. It was almost like watching an old Davey Crockett show from the 1950's, you know its not real, but it is good entertainment. Then there were the articles depicting those who died, and how they died, in addition to other subjects relating to the survivors. As they were written, prior to my changes, they were way off. There were several eye witnesses to the battle, not simply Susannah Dickinson and the former slave Joe, but most of the other accounts were from Mexicans, and have long since been ignored. Those accounts are in numerous books on the subject, most of which I have read, although there may only be obscure versions of them online. In any event, not to debate this and not to draw it out any more than necessary, the last thing I want to do is to cause problems for the editors. And it serves little purpose for me to put in much effort, if it will only be reverted. I do, however, hope you see my point. Charliecow7

I definitely agree with your assessment of many of these articles before you began work on them, and I think your changes have vastly improved a lot of the Alamo coverage. I'd just like to encourage you to use inline citations with the sources you currently find (it looks complicated but you get the hang of it quickly) and/or find sources that WP deems more reliable. Karanacs (talk) 14:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree. And thank you for your advice, and I shall make my best efforts to comply. Charliecow7

thanks for developing Sierra Bonita Ranch, Arizona

Hi Charliecow7 -- I noticed your helpful edit back on 10 July 2008 to the Sierra Bonita Ranch article. I had created that article about a U.S. National Historic Landmark and had added a comprehensive NRHP inventory/nomination reference, which you used. Thanks for taking the time to do that!

Also, I've started stub articles and added similar references to many other articles on National Historic Landmarks. It would be great if you were interested in developing any other stubs on List of NHLs in AZ or in other states (indexed by List of NHLs by state. There are about 2,400 NHLs and on-line docs are available for almost all of them. WikiProject National Register of Historic Places members completed a drive to at least start all the NHL articles by last July 4, by the way. Please ask me if you have any questions. Anyhow, thanks again. doncram (talk) 21:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
