Substantive conversations about articles should be on those talk pages

, I can follow this as a professional internet user and political observer. I know that “woke mind virus” is a term of art for the (condescending and misguided) idea that progressive views on race and gender are an outside contagion threatening the minds of young people who might otherwise reject structural explanations of racial inequality and embrace a traditional vision of the gender binary. I know that “cultural Marxism” is a right-wing buzzword meant to sound scary and imposing.

To a normal person, on the other hand, this language is borderline unintelligible. It doesn’t tell you anything; it doesn’t obviously mean anything; and it’s quite likely to be far afield of your interests and concerns.

DeSantis is a regular offender when it comes to speaking in the jargon of culture war-obsessed conservatives, but he’s not the only one. And it’s not just a problem of jargon.

St. John's Park

edit

Hi. I've reverted your undiscussed move of this article to "St. John's Rotary". Please discuss on the talk page and get a consensus for the move. Thanks. BMK (talk) 22:22, 4 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Please note that creating duplicate articles is not allowed, per WP:FORK. For this reason I have sent your Holland Tunnel Rotary, which substantial duplicates -- without proper accreditation -- the current article St. John's Park, back to your user space. If you move it again, I will bring this matter to the attention of admins. Please note that per WP:OWN you cannot own or control St. John's Park, and when you moved it without discussion, and I moved it back asking for a discussion and consensus, you cannot behave as if it belongs to you, or that you can unilaterally decide which is the proper title and focus for the article. That discussion is ongoing, and you move of the article from your user space is an attempt to override the consensus forming there that "St. John's Park" is the proper title for the article. Please stop screwing around, and follow the consensus on the talk page. BMK (talk) 01:45, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Do not revert the article without a consensus to do so, per WP:BRD. BMK (talk) 22:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Please stop just making stuff up. Duplicate articles aren't allowed, yours was a deliberate duplicate, a "fork", so I moved it back to your userspace from whence it came. I don't need a "consensus" to do that. I'm just following policy, but if I did need a consensus, the one at St. John's Park which says that the focus of an article should be the history of the land and not the existence of a circular cluster of 5 highway esits, and that the proper title of that article is "St. John's Park" and not "St. John's Rotary" or "Holland Tunnel Rotary" -- that real consensus would do just fine.

In the meantime take a look at this pages:

Disambiguating articles

edit

Hi Djflem. You recently moved Michele Brown to Michele Brown (athlete) but you haven't fixed the incoming links to the page. As a result, no article now point to the athlete article! When making disambiguation pages, it is a requirement to fix the incoming links, otherwise the article move offers no disambiguation improvement for the encyclopedia. Can you fix these links to the new target? Thanks. SFB 15:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please stop editing against consensus on St. John's Park

edit

The consensus of the commenters on Talk:St. John's Park is that the focus of that article should be on the history of the square and park which was turned into a railroad terminal, and not on the 5 exits from the Holland Tunnel that are there now. The consensus also is that the article should be named "St. John' Park" and not "Holland Tunnel Rotary". The consensus is that the "rotary" is not notable, and the history of the land is. Almost all of your recent edits on St. John's Park have been in complete contradiction to this consensus, in fact, you deny there is any consensus at all, when it is clear and unambiguous. Continued editing against a talk page consensus is disruptive and can be considered to be tendentious, and could lead to your being blocked from editing. Please stop. I see from your talk page that you've done good work elsewhere, so please find something else to do and give up this campaign of non-consensual editing. BMK (talk) 02:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I know I do good work, that's why the botch job promoting a non-neutral POV on St.John's Park is offensive.Djflem (talk) 22:44, 10 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
I will admit that the current article does a poor job of focusing on a bunch of non-notable highway exits, as you would like it to (talk about a POV!!), and I'll take full credit for that, since the consensus on the talk page firmly rejected your desire to move the article in that direction. You keep trying to skew it that way, but as long as the talk page consensus is clear, you're not going to be able to, thankfully. BMK (talk) 04:17, 11 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your editing on St. John's Park

edit

Hi Djflem. BMK asked me to take a look at the recent discussion on the talk page of St. John's Park[1]. I did and I'm afraid I have to agree with BMK that your approach is quite a bit less than desirable. For example, you accuse BMK of avoiding substantive discussion and of stonewalling[2] when, by all appearances, he not only initiated the discussion itself but also seems to be going out of his way to accommodate at least some of your preferred text. Your acceptance of his offer (offer and acceptance) was astoundingly grudging. The use of boldface at the bottom (Are you going to ...) of this page is also unnecessarily peremptory. I note also that he has the support of Epicgenius who, and I know this from experience, doesn't always agree with BMK. I don't know who is in the right or wrong here but - looking solely at the talk page comments - it doesn't look like you're going to get consensus for your views on that page. You might want to think about moving up the WP:DR chain and seeking other opinions, for example for whether the lead is contradictory or contains OR. Otherwise you're going to find yourself on the wikipedia path of trouble. --regentspark (comment) 02:43, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Djflem, may I suggest that you focus on something else for a bit (a couple of months would be good). Reading your last post (this one), I think you're getting caught in the quintessential Wikipedia trap where you're losing the big picture (large massive encyclopedia) and getting stuck in the trees ('my' view on St. John's Park is the only correct one). The best way to deal with this is to back off and go elsewhere. The article isn't going anywhere and will still be there a few months from now at which point you'll be able to approach the article with a fresh mind. Like I say above, you're entering a tunnel that experience tells me has only one exit - a block - but you still have time to back out of it. --regentspark (comment) 14:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I have responded on your talk page, but am posting this here: At issue is matter of original research that is seen in a glaring contradiction in the piece for which I have asked for clarification [3]. As is normal Wikipeida verification procedure, when a claim is made the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. BMK has been asked provide a citation. The response to date has been (to use your word) "grudging"; somewhere between obfuscation and complete refusal. I have taken your suggestion and sought input in another forum, namely Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#St. John's Park. Hopefully a response there will lend some guidance as to how to proceed beyond the current reticence.Djflem (talk) 09:03, 26 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I think this is a good step so thank you for that. Looking at the talk page dispassionately, it doesn't look like you're going to get support for your changes on the article itself so looking for venues outside the article talk page is the best way of avoiding the appearance of tendentiousness. You probably need to be more focused in your questions - I find your talk page posts unclear and puzzling, which, I think, may be a part of the problem - but perhaps that's just me so let's see what comes out of all this. Moving one step at a time is probably the way to go since you're not getting traction at the article talk page itself. --regentspark (comment) 14:09, 26 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Map at Tappan page

edit

Dear User:Djflem. Sorry about the rodeo over the image caption at the Tappan tribe page. The fact that the original map is oriented a perfect 90-degrees clockwise (of the normal N-S orientation of modern maps), and the excerpt was so small, threw me off utterly – and I know that area, its waters, and communities well. I had to open the full sized version of [[File:Blaeu - Nova Belgica et Anglia Nova.png]] to get properly oriented (which erased all confusion, once the seeming E-W rivulet that's actually the Hudson River can be correctly identified.

Is there a way that the unusual orientation of the map can be very briefly worked into the Tappan page image's caption? It would really help. I'm used to seeing the Hudson N-S, arrayed with bands of Manhattoes, Wecquaesgeek, Siwanoy, Kitchawank, and Nochpeem up the east bank to Wappinger proper country well into Dutchess County. Even so, I found the map orientation so dumbfounding I resolutely misread it.

New York Port of Embarkation

edit

You have insisted on linking Port of New York and New Jersey, an article on a modern concept and Port Authority, for an area with similar coverage, but very different concept in World Wars I and II. First thing to grasp is that an Army Port of Embarkation is a command and jurisdiction going far beyond port facilities of piers and wharves. What is included in my text: "The command had facilities in New York City and surrounding areas and in New Jersey as well as ports in other cities as sub-ports under its direct command." includes things far beyond today's "Port of New York and New Jersey" as well as that modern "port" including things not at all part of the Army command that was the NYPOE. Therefore I will continue to object to just a straight link to something that is not the equivalent at all. You might be interested in FM 55-105 Water Transportation: Oceangoing Vessels (September 25, 1944) pages 14 and 15 for some of the similarities. The differences in those "command had facilities" lies in the Army embarkation camps and Army hospitals as well as staging areas as far afield as Pennsylvania. I've given explanation why I object and don't want to get into an edit war, but will insist on some sort of compromise. Palmeira (talk) 19:32, 8 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Newark Public Library

edit

Hi, Djflem. I think "compromises the integrity of the encyclopedia" is overstating things. The guideline states that we do not have vagueness or instantly dated text, which if anything is what would actually compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia. Different editors handle that violation in different ways. It would be equally valid to have added the [when?] template. I think the larger point being missed here, and one which a subsequent editor rightly addressed, is that the WP:DATED vio needed fixing. If my boldly pointing this out helped spur an editor to research the date and add it, then my edit did exactly what was intended. Rather than compromise Wikipedia, it in fact enhanced it.

In any case, that other editor discovered that the information was nearly a decade old, and he or she added a year with a citation. All's well that ends well. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:50, 18 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

edit

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Court Street Bridge (Hackensack River).

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

Hi Djflem. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Coordinates

edit

Frankly, I don't recall giving you any advice about coordinates lately. Perhaps I've done so in the past, but I'm old enough that my memory is starting to get rather sievelike. As I recall, most of your problems involve coordinates that are only slighly off—a few city blocks and so forth (less than a mile, anyway)—and places that you actually know the locations of. In such cases the easiest thing to do is to go to the GeoLocator tool, enter the coordinates from the article in the dialogue box at top left, and zoom in on the area. You can then drag the marker on the map to the correct location (or double-click on the correct location) and paste the correct coordinates (which will appear after "Location:" to the left of the map) into the article's {{coord}} template.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Djflem/1902 Paterson fire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.patersonhistory.com/events/fire1902.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Judges and politicians

edit

I am guessing you are having the somewhat usual knee-jerk reaction that judges are not politicians, especially when not elected. The problem is, judges meet the definition of politician. More importantly, as to your reversions from several judges in NJ from politician/city categories, these judges are already in politician categories. See Category:American state court judges where all state court judges are in politician cats.

Basically, every office holder is a politician. Now, not all politicians are office holders, sort of like not all doctors are physicians, but all physicians are doctors. Aboutmovies (talk) 15:43, 28 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

List of crossings of the Upper Passaic River

edit

I think I've finished off the coordinates in the article. A few points:

  1. I'm not sure that I have the correct coordinates of the Patriot's Path footbridge. I put them where Google Maps shows the bridge, but the Open Street Map shows it about 250 yards upstream, at 40°45′10″N 74°33′07″W / 40.75286°N 74.55195°W / 40.75286; -74.55195. There are just too many trees to see the bridge in aerial views; you may want to see if you can find out exactly where the thing is.
  2. Passaic River says that the source of the river is the unnamed pond at roughly 40°45′44″N 74°34′40″W / 40.76222°N 74.57778°W / 40.76222; -74.57778. If that is taken as the source, there are technically two crossings upstream of the last entry currently in the table. The nascent river passes through a culvert under Hardscrabble Road at 40°45′46″N 74°34′37″W / 40.76276°N 74.57696°W / 40.76276; -74.57696 and (apparently in a culvert) under Corey Lane at 40°45′51″N 74°34′32″W / 40.76427°N 74.57551°W / 40.76427; -74.57551. I don't know whether you do or do not want to include these.
  3. There seem to be some dams or spillways in the upper reaches of the river other than the ones you have listed. One is at the outlet of Osborn Pond, at 40°43′16″N 74°31′55″W / 40.72110°N 74.53208°W / 40.72110; -74.53208, just under/downstream of the Lee's Hill Road bridge. Another is at the outlet of another pond, at 40°46′17″N 74°34′17″W / 40.77142°N 74.57152°W / 40.77142; -74.57152, and there may be several others along the course of the river. (I wasn't looking in too much detail as I followed the river upstream.)

If I've made any mistakes, just drop me a message if you're unable to fix them yourself, and I'll try to correct them. Deor (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Just wondering why you changed "Moffit Bridge" (which you had originally typed) to "Moffat Bridge".

Fairview - not a Gold Coast City

edit

August 13 2016 your put Fairview back into text for wiki/Hudson_Waterfront without noting the addition. It was removed in February and documented.

My comments in the talk page therein, although unkind but true about Fairview, are reason enough to exclude Fairview from the def.

Although Cliffside Park also does not border the Hudson, its size and local and high rise buildings giving good views of NYC and make it a desired location for NYC escapees. I left it in the text.

Fairview's demographics were left in because they caused no harm. Fairview has no right to be considered a member of the Gold Coast any more than Ridgefield.

I shall remove it once again but I do not want to get into an argument via editing. I've become aware of "editing wars" and the warnings from Widipedia about such (different articles completely which I became are of via seeing a contributor was banned or temporarily suspended but was not involved in.) As a source of knowledge, it is wrong for others to cite (cit?) Fairview as Gold Coast because of Widipedia, although I can see the borough wanting to be a "us too" town. Are far back as I can remember, Fairview wasn't a GC town in the press because it did not border on the Hudson River. Edgewater on the other hand was prime GC and as a sleepy little town, people made a lot of money. Perhaps here is where I should throw in your talk page about politicians, judges and politically connected people.

The things I've seen but have no documented proof could land me in court. (politically connected judges? U bet cha.) More known about Fairview, but some of Edgewater too first hand.

Tangent; 5 firemen from CSPK ransacked the house of a dead man then torched it. Each agreed to testify against the other 4. End result was NO ONE ever went to court. That was in the Bergen Record. Blame the prosecutor (sp?) on that one.

  1. 2 Mafia man caught with a 22 cal gun with an illegal silencer. No one ever followed up on where he got the silencer. I say Mafia but I just made up the label although I've been lead to believe that the small caliber weapon is one of choice at times.

The more one sees, the more one dig, the worse the situations are. In Fairview they say a prayer before each council meeting. IMO they could shorten it to "Don't let us get caught." Indeed, too small with only 12/14 million budget (excluding School which is another ball of wax) is too small for Trenton or the Feds to care.)

The "control" that a certain person of North Bergen in Hudson County, abutting Fairview, exorcising control over Fairview is only 2nd hand info from people who know more than me. None of which is current and perhaps should be stated in past tense as is the next.

I'll leave you with one more tidbit because its cute. My barber asked the Cliffside Park major (names omitted here for legal reasons) why the town approved a certain construction project. His response, according to my barber was "You can't steal if you don't build." Cliffontheroad (talk) 04:08, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

List of crossings of the Lower Passaic River

edit

I left three entries lacking coordinates, as follows:

  • Portway Bridge (proposed): I see that such a bridge is being discussed: but as far as I can tell it's only in the feasibility-study stage, and I've been unable to determine exactly where the thing would stand if it's ever built. (I'm not even sure that an exact position has yet been decided on.)
  • Newark Plank Road (removed): Was this at the site of the present-day Lincoln Highway Bridge, or was it at a slightly different location?
  • Pedestrian bridge (proposed): I've looked at a number of online documents about proposed improvements along the river in the Ironbound neighborhood, but I haven't seen anything about a footbridge across the river between the Dock Bridge and the Jackson Street Bridge. Where did you see such a proposal?

If I can be of any further help, let me know. Deor (talk) 17:20, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Helpful hint

edit

I've noticed that you sometimes use {{geodata-check}} to ask for coordinate corrections in articles, as you did at Talk:Brielle Draw. It's pretty easy to do this sort of correction yourself if you know where the thing needing corrected coordinates is. You can use this tool: Just keep double-clicking on the map (with the cursor on the area you want to zoom in on), or enter the incorrect coordinates in the dialog box at top left and move the map around, until you see the thing of interest,then put the cursor on it and Ctrl-click to place the marker; adjust the position of the marker, if necessary, by dragging it, and then you can read and copy the coordinates, in d/m/s and decimal form, at left.

Indents

edit

Hi Djflem. Hope you're having a good day. We're on the brink of beginning to talk past each other at the talk page of that article, so I'm going to back off for a bit to allow more space for any others who may wish to join the conversation. As I mentioned there, I'm baffled at the nonstandard formatting you're using for the discussion—specifically your indentation, which seems more or less random. You've had an account about as long as I have, and in that time you've made three times as many edits, so I hesitate to point you to a help page...but WP:THREAD.   Sometimes there is good reason to use nonstandard indentation, but in most cases it just makes discussions harder to follow.

I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project, AfC, which is also extremely backlogged.
Would you please consider becoming an Articles for Creation reviewer? Articles for Creation reviewers help new users learn the ropes of creating their first articles, and identify whether topics are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Reviewing drafts doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia inclusion policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After requesting to be added to the project, reviewing is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the reviewing instructions before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 02:15, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I like your court house list. have you worked on the mayors? Category:Lists_of_mayors_of_places_in_New_Jersey. I have been contacting the research librarian in the major cities to compile lists. I have also been clustering New Jersey categories in Wikidata to make them easier to find. Mayor of a place in New Jersey (Q42688505) Wikidata has a field called "position held" that can be Mayor of X, with one click, you can see the names of the mayors, even if they do not have a Wikipedia entry. Mayors of Jersey City. See if you can fill in missing at Mayor of Long Branch, New Jersey. --RAN (talk) 18:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Kevin S. Corbett and Mendham

edit

The article for Kevin S. Corbett puts him in the Mendham Township category, but lists him as living in Mendham, New Jersey (a redirect to the page for the borough). A public records search puts him in Mendham Township, which I can't use, and all of the sources place him in generic "Mendham, NJ" with no distinction between the borough and the township. Have you found anything reliable and verifiable to place him on Mendham Township (vs. Mendham Borough)? Was there anything that led you to choose the Mendham Township category?

I found the same data, but it violates WP:PRIMARY. In this case we can make a good bet that it's the same person, but it isn't always possible to match a property to specific person solely based on matching a name. Alansohn (talk) 23:45, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Rahway River Parkway

edit

On 5 February 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rahway River Parkway, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Rahway River Parkway, designed by Olmsted Brothers in the 1920s, was a project of the newly-formed Union County parks commission? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rahway River Parkway. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Rahway River Parkway), 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.

Municipalities included along the Rahway River Parkway

edit

Kudos on the article and the DYK.

This edit says that the Rahway River Parkway runs through the borough, but doesn't provide a source. This source from the county lists the Parkway as being in Clark, Linden, Cranford and Rahway. This Greenway Plan, used as a source in the Rahway River Parkway, mentions Kenilworth and Westfield, but I don't see where it says that the two places include parts of the Parkway.

Do you have a source that puts the Parkway in Kenilworth, Westfield and other municipalities? Is there an overall map, because I couldn't fine it on the county website or at the Friends of Rahway River Parkway?

Your help here would be most beneficial. Alansohn (talk) 23:53, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

List of crossings of the Rahway River

edit

I think I'm about done with the coordinates and related changes on this. In the table for the main stream, I added two footbridges (between the Lehigh Line and High Street bridges and between the Springfield Ave. and Boulevard bridges) and the dam at Droeschen Mill. I also added a number of footbridges and dams to the West Branch table, but it's still misssing a bunch of crossings in the upper reaches of the stream. I think that all of the road crossings north of Northfield Avenue are culverts rather than bridges; there are also some footbridges in the Essex County Country Club golf course.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of sheriffs of Monmouth County, New Jersey

edit
 

A tag has been placed on List of sheriffs of Monmouth County, New Jersey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

this falls under A7 as unremarkable, but also there was no consensus to create this article as a spinout. It was proposed only 10 days ago and the discussion only had three participants see Talk:Monmouth County, New Jersey#Sheriff of Monmouth County, New Jersey

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I recognize you as a tireless contributor, who has faced the forces of deletionism by adding the reliable and verifiable sources needed to build this encyclopedia. Remember that it a significant amount of work to create an article of even minor significance, all of which can be destroyed by a few seconds of typing by an editor who just doesn't like the article.

Bergen County Executive

edit

You moved this back to capped Executive with comment "proper title". I'm not sure what you're saying or thinking. The sources, including the most official ones, don't cap the job title "county executive"; and see MOS:JOBTITLE. Taking the first few Google hits: the official county page on it says "the county executive handles the day-to-day operations...". This article is titled "Jim Tedesco to seek reelection as Bergen County executive". This one has "running for re-election as executive of Bergen County". This one shows the correct place to use caps, in "County Executive James Tedesco III", and also not, in "to win the executive post in 2014". This one has "to run for county executive". Nobody uses this as a proper name. Dicklyon (talk) 02:39, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Bergen County Executive

edit

Hi Djflem. I was pinged on Talk:Bergen County Executive around your edit warring on this article. In particular, the following two edits: [4] and [5]. In your edit summaries, you labelled the first as vandalism and to take it to the talk page, and the second as there being no consensus to remove the level of detail. Personally I do not have any stake in the content of the article either way; I am, though, concerned that you are not adhering to the RFC, which had quite wide participation gauging the views of interested parties, which was closed just yesterday. Two points:

  1. Labeling edits which are patently not vandalism as vandalism to justify using rollback is not acceptable.
  2. Doing so while saying "take to talk" is extremely disingenuous, when there was a lengthy RFC on the talk page, initiated by the person you reverted, and closed by myself as an uninvolved party, with a clear closing summary that said the consensus was that removing these details was appropriate.

As you appear unable to use rollback appropriately, I have temporarily removed your access to the rollback tool. If you wish it to be returned, please ping me or another administrator in a month or so and we can discuss this. You will need to demonstrate you have learned how to edit in line with consensus. Further tendentious editing against consensus may regrettably result in a temporary block, restricting your account from editing Wikipedia. Please consider this your only warning. Should you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Regards, Fish+Karate 08:26, 4 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Inaccuracies in Erie articles

edit

I've had it up to here with this. The NYS&W was an Erie subsidiary, so it used Erie signage all the way to the end. I don't know what kind of research you're doing, but clearly it's resulting in a falsehood. There won't be an NYSW style as it and the Erie were the same. I have photographic proof if you would like me to provide it.

That said, as someone who has spent the last 10 years doing hard Erie work, I would like to suggest that you let me know you make a new article. I don't want to clean up what you left me.

DYK for First Landing Party of the Founders of Newark

edit

On 24 May 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article First Landing Party of the Founders of Newark, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the First Landing Party of the Founders of Newark went missing for more than a decade? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/First Landing Party of the Founders of Newark. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, First Landing Party of the Founders of Newark), 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.
