Re Necedah Shrine

I think I've fixed the external link the way you wanted. You had the right idea, but the link didn't work due to typos. Here you can see that there was a line break in the middle of the link (before the '.html'), and that caused it not to work. You may have hit the 'Enter' key while typing in the link? And then here your link would have been fine except there was a trailing slash (/) put at the end of the link when there should not have been. But it should work now. HollyAm 18:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome! Also, I looked at the Raymond Leo Burke article. The wikilink you put in for the Cathedral was fine; the only problem was that the article's title is spelled Cathedral of Saint Joseph the Workman rather than Cathedral of St. Joseph the Workman. This is because it is generally preferable to use spelled out words rather than abbreviations in article titles. So what I did was to turn Cathedral of St. Joseph the Workman into a Redirect page pointing to Cathedral of Saint Joseph the Workman. This way, you can wikilink to either spelling, though it is still preferable to wikilink to the version that avoids the redirection. The rest of the Burke article looked fine to me, but if I missed something, just let me know. HollyAm 23:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Dan Quayle

That's no problem at all. You don't have to be signed in to edit, after all. Really, asides from the "perks" like being able to talk to people more easily and getting credit for your edits, the only time it's "important" to sign in is for editing things in the [[wikipedia:]] and [[wikipedia talk:]] name spaces, since rightly or wrongly you may be ignored on some of those pages (WP:AFD and WP:RFA spring to mind) if you aren't a signed-in user.

Re: Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke article-

I replied to your msg on my talk page. — Kbh3^rdtalk 16:18, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

If you looked at my talk page and didn't see anything, it was temporarily vandalized this morning. — Kbh3^rdtalk 19:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy New Year, Richard! Looks like a difficult situation over at the Burke article. Here is my advice; you're probably familiar with much of it already. What's going on is a NPOV dispute rather than vandalism (see Wikipedia:Vandalism#What_vandalism_is_not). It is good that you are striving toward neutral point of view with this article.

I see someone has created a page at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (Saint Louis) to document this current-event controversy. It would be my recommendation to try to keep the St. Stan's editing on the St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (Saint Louis) page, with a brief neutral description of a basic summary on the Raymond Leo Burke page and a link to the St. Stan's main article. Of course, all this does is defer the POV editing to the St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (Saint Louis) page, so it still needs to be dealt with there.

You could revert to a previous version, as you mentioned, if you think there was a better version of the article. Look through the article's history (the history tab at the top) and click on the date and time of the next most recent version and take a look at it. Keep looking through the recent history until you find the last acceptable version--one that is written from what you feel is a NPOV. Then revert to that version (see Wikipedia:Revert for a how-to-revert). If no recent version is acceptable, then you'll have to write it yourself first.

However, someone or someones could disagree with your revert and revert it right back. This creates the edit war. It is important to never break the three-revert rule, which means do not revert an article more than three times in a 24-hour period. If the POV version persists, place a {{NPOV}} tag at the top of the article and explain why you did so on the article's talk page. The article may still be POV, but at least the tag will alert readers of this. The goal then is to reach a consensus on the talk page on how to make the article neutral. Notify the editors who you are in conflict and invite them to discuss on the article's talk page. As I saw User:Kbh3rd suggested, a subpage with a working copy is good. Wikipedia:Protection policy describes having the page temporarily protected and what the criteria must be.

You're doing great by keeping a cool head through what can be a stressful situation. Let me know if I can help or explain further. HollyAm 19:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Re The Diocese of Madison

Yeah, I actually meant to let you know that I started the Diocese of Superior article and then forgot. Someone else created the Green Bay article, which I helped format, and then since the Superior article was the only one left to create, I figured I would go ahead and do so. Good catch on the date and info in the Madison article. I wikified the counties and also added the list of bishops. HollyAm 19:34, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Dolan and Burke articles

Richard - Thanks for leaving a couple notes on my talk page. . .I took a look at the Abp. Dolan article - it's pretty good. I have fond memories of him when he was in St. Louis, but I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute to the article at this point. Happy New Year and keep up the good work with your contributions. And remember to BE BOLD! TMS63112 17:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I got your note about the RFT letters on the Archbishop Burke page. Right now they are available on the talk page, which is fine with me. The user you reference doesn't seem to have been active under that username since August. Thanks! TMS63112 16:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Episcopal Dioceses in Wisconsin

Richard - Good work on the articles. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. I made a couple minor edits. Please consider including something in each article explainign what Province V is. TMS63112 20:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

You left me a note a couple days ago about whether I thought Abp. Burk would be named a Cardinal. . .I don't really know, but I doubt it. St. Louis is one of those diocese (Baltimore is the other that comes to mind) that sometimes has a Cardinal, but not always. We have not had one as Abp. since Cardinal Carberry retired in the early 1980's (he died in about 1998). I think as the church becomes less a European and North American church we will see fewer cardinals from small and mid-sized diocese like STL and more from Africa, Asia, and South America. I also think the controversies over things like St. Stans make it less likely thatBurke would get picked for a red hat. TMS63112 04:29, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Done.

Re: Episcopal Church in Wisconsin

Hi Richard, thanks for the note! Nice job on the Episcopal dioceses and great idea to expand on religion in Wisconsin. Good job with the other articles, also. One of the many things on my "to do list" is to work on Congressmen without articles at U.S. Congressional Delegations from Wisconsin, so thanks for adding Baldus and Steiger. Particularly, I want to add the four Wisconsin U.S. Senators left without articles; I haven't yet but will get to them soon. Happy editing! HollyAm 01:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hugo Jan Huss

Hello,

Thank you for leting us know about this article. I cleaned it up a little bit, by adding links to the existing articles, and making some corrections - he was a director at the Filarmonic orchestra in Arad, not in Bucharest. Also I added it to the list of Romania related new articles here. Mihai -^talk 18:21, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I haven't noticed the fact that there were two obituaries. I have corrected the link and added some information (link to Constantin Silvestri and rephrased a little bit the thing about his life in Romania). Mihai -^talk 21:24, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, this is just to let you know that I (finally) read your note on my talk page, and that I appreciate your drive towards accuracy by involving "locals". However, to be perfectly honest, I never heard of the guy (not much into classical music myself), so I can't help in any meaningful way (of course I could Google out some data on him, but I expect you guys already did that.) But I did mean it when I thanked you, reaching out is commendable. --Gutza ^{T T+} 04:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Mary Dimmick Harrison

I'm afraid I don't know of any biographies of her. I've only seen her mentioned, briefly, in books on First Ladies, or on Benjamin Harrison. I agree that it sounds like an interesting story. - Nunh-huh 21:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

For a yet-more-interesting marital knot, see Daisy, Princess of Pless. She and her husband had three sons, then divorced and married other spouses. Her husband's second wife divorced him and married his son (who was also, obviously, the son of Daisy), and had two children by him. Thus Daisy's husband's second wife was the mother of Daisy's only grandchildren.... - Nunh-huh 21:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I only know of a few of Mary Harrison's descendants, and I don't know who married Mary Jane Walker (or if there's another granddaughter I don't know of.) But it seems a distant enough relationship to be comfortable. I guess things were different in those days! - 22:10, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info on Charles Calhoun's book. Is there any additional info there on relatives or ancestors? If so, I'd try to find a copy to look at. - Nunh-huh 14:33, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, just wondering why you left the following message on my talk page:

"I got a request about the vandalizing of the Veronica Lueken article. First: I did ask the individual doing the vandalism to put any concerns, etc., on the discussion section and if the individual would please get a wikipedia account.

Thanks for the pointer to Thomas J. Preston, Jr.. Here are two New York Times articles you might be interested in:

New York Times, 11 February 1913

MRS. CLEVELAND AND PROF. PRESTON WED
President Hibben Officiates at Ceremony in the Princeton University Mansion.
ONLY FEW RELATIVES THERE
Date Advanced Because of Prof. Preston's illness—Her Daughter and His Brother Attend Them.
Special to The New York Times.

PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 10.-Surrounded only by members of their immediate families and three friends. Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland, widow of the late President Grover Cleveland. and Prof. Thomas Jex Preston, Jr., of Wells College, Aurora, N. Y., were married this morning in the executive mansion of Princeton University. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John Grier Hibben, President of Princeton, and a longtime friend of the bride and bridegroom. After the wedding breakfast, at which President and Mrs. Hìbben were the hosts, the couple held an informal reception at Prospect.

Mr. and Mrs. Preston left President Hibben's home in a touring car shortly after 1 o'clock, and it was reported that they were on their way to Princeton Junction to board a train for Florida. To-night, however, they were still at the Cleveland home in Princeton, and declined to make public their plans.

The Preston-Cleveland nuptials came as a surprise to scores of the former Mrs. Cleveland's friends in Princeton. Although planned during the past three days in the very heart of Princeton University, not one of the students had any Intimation that the wedding was to occur to-day.

It was announced by Dean Andrew F. West, head of the Princeton graduate school, that the element of mystery which pervaded the preliminary plans for the wedding was due to an illness of Mr. Preston that had led his physician to prescribe a period of rest in Florida. That the date for the ceremony was rather hastily decided on is evident from the fact that only last Saturday Mrs. Henry Edward Perrine, the mother of the bride, who has lived at the Cleveland home for several years, left for Bermuda, to be gone for two months.

Mr. Preston reached Princeton from New York only half an hour before the ceremony this morning. He was accompanied by his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jex Preston of Aurora, and his sisters, Mrs. Florence Preston Jones and Mrs. John Hoppen; Mr. Hoppen of South Orange and his brother, Harry Preston of New York City. They went directly to Prospect, the university executive mansion, where Mrs. Cleveland and Mr. Preston spent a few minutes receiving the servants of the Cleveland household In the hall.

At 10:30 o'clock the bride-elect walked to the main drawing room of the Princeton mansion on Mr. Preston's arm. Mrs. Cleveland was attired in an unadorned white silk gown cut along simple lines, and carried a bouquet of white Killarney roses. Mr. Preston wore the conventional black frock suit.

In performing the ceremony President Hibben used the Episcopal service. Those who were in the room aside from the relatives who accompanied Mr. Preston to Princeton were Miss Esther Cleveland, who was born in the White House and who made her début on Nov. 18, at which time Mrs. Cleveland made her first appearance since her husband's death attired in colors: Miss Marian Cleveland. Who is attending school at Bryn Mawr, Penn.; Francis Cleveland, the late President's youngest son: President and Mrs. Hibben, and Dean Andrew F. West of the Princeton Graduate School. Richard Cleveland, the third child of Mrs. Cleveland, is at school at Phillips Andover Academy, and although notified of the wedding was unable to attend. Miss Esther Cleveland and Harry Preston stood by the couple as the service was read.

The Prospect dining room was decorated for the wedding breakfast with narcissus and white Killarney roses, the latter being Mrs. Preston's favorite flower.

Shortly after noon several of Mrs. Cleveland's friends and neighbors called to offer their congratulations. Some of them also knew Mr. Preston, who only a few years ago took a Master of Arts degree at the university. Among these callers were President Francis Landey Patton of the Theological Seminary, a former President of Princeton University, with Mrs. Patton; George B. McClellan. ex-Mayor of New York City and now a Princeton Professor, and Mrs. McClellan, and Jesse Lynch Williams, the author, and Mrs. Williams.

The bride and groom were borne away through a shower of rice in the steel-gray touring car which has for a long time been known as the Cleveland automobile. The former bride of the White House, though 48 years old, looked little more than 30 as she waved a happy goodbye to friends on the Hibben lawn. Mr. Preston is 50 years old and a six-footer. His bearing as he stepped briskly into the waiting machine was not that of a man who needed to go to Florida for his health.

Despite Mr. and Mrs. Preston's refusal to divulge their plans, it is believed that they will soon leave for Florida. Mrs. Preston will not attend the inaugural ceremonies on March 4. It is said that Miss Esther Cleveland will join her grandmother, Mrs. Perrine, at Bermuda within the next week.

NYT: 26 December 1955

DR. T. J. PRESTON W JR., EDUCATOR, WAS 93
Special to The New York Times.

SOUTH ORANGE, N. J., Dec. 25-Dr. Thomas Jex Preston Jr., former Professor of Archeology at Princeton University and former president pro tem of Wells College, Aurora, N. Y., died today at his home, 151 Irving Avenue, after an illness of several months. He was 93 years old.

Dr. Preston's wife was Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland Preston, widow of President Grover Cleveland. Dr. Preston and Mrs. Cleveland were married in 1913, five years after the death of the late President. Mrs. Preston died in 1948.

Dr. Preston was born in Hastings-on-Hudson, N. Y., and was graduated from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute in 1880. He studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, the University of Rome and the American School of Classical Studies in Rome before joining P. J. Preston & Co. in Newark, a linseed oil manufacturing concern founded by his father.

After the concern was sold in 1992, Dr. Preston enrolled at Princeton as the university's first "adult student." He received a bachelor of literature degree in 1906 at the age of 44, a masters degree the following year and a doctorate of philosophy in 1910. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

Dr. Preston was a former trustee of the Westminster Choir School at Princeton and a life member of the Archeological Institute of America. He was professor of archeology at Princeton In 1911 and 1912, and was president pro tem of Wells College when he retired in 1912.

Bishop McGavick

You do not understand, for sorting purposes Wikipedia requires that all names starting with Mc, for instance, be sorted as "Mac". See the below from Martin McGuinness' edit page:

Please use Macguiness, ie with an 'a' and a lowercase 'g', to assist category sorting

Also, names starting with O' (as in O'Neill would be sorted as Oneill, Ocallaghan, Obrien, etc).

Marlboro, Massachusetts automatically redirects to the correct spelling : Marlborough, Massachusetts.

Yours, Conrad Falk 14:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, btw, since you probably deal with a lot of people whose surnames start with "Mc" or "O'", please remember the above and spread the word. Thanks!! Conrad Falk 14:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Laura Ingalls Wilder article

Hello, Richard:

Can you explain to me how Lund, Wisconsin, an unincorporated community in it's own right, located some 8 miles north of Pepin, can be "in the town of Pepin"? That does not make sense. Township, maybe, yeah - but a town cannot be "in a town" eight miles south.

Regards,

Melos Antropon 13:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I can answer this one for I have traveled all the way across the state and visited the site. The replica house on the plot of land is on a road all by itself, so it's not located in EITHER Lund or Pepin. It's most likely in the Township of Pepin. It is located closer to Lund than Pepin. Royalbroil 03:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Lund and the LIW birthplace are both in the Town of Pepin. Wisconsin does not have civil townships at all, so there is no "Township of Pepin"; the Wisconsin version of such an entity is a "town". I see that RFD has changed the LIW article to say that she was born "near the village of Pepin", which is certainly correct. Her birthplace is in the Town of Pepin and also near the Village of Pepin, Wisconsin. Lund is also in the Town of Pepin. All unincorporated parts of Wisconsin are in a Town, and that's the one containing her birthplace. So - Pepin is the name of a Town and also the name of a Village, and both are distinct. Her mother was born in the Town of Brookfield, in what is today the City of Brookfield. Confusing, isn't it? Merenta 18:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

You are correct that St. Mary's deserves to be in that article, but what about the other churches? Maybe you could complete the section. Thor Rudebeck 18:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Holy Hill National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians

I have spent several hours on the article about Holy Hill (near Milwaukee). I think this would be a nice article to feature on Did You Know for WikiProject Wisconsin. It is eligible since it was expanded starting from a few sentences. Do you have any sources that could help expand this article since you work a nearby diocese? I will qualify under the June 19th date (in international time), and it would need to be featured within 5 days. I would appreciate your help! Royalbroil 03:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I have nominated the article for DYK. I was actually hoping that you would collaborate with me and use your sources to expand the article. I have used inline citations, so I would appreciate if you would cite anything that could be contested too (use {{Cite book}} for the book). I have retitled the section from "Sources" to "Additional reading", which is accurate right now since it wasn't used as a source. Do you have the ISBN # on the book? I have asked you because I know you are knowledgable about Catholic things. I am Catholic too, but I am not familiar with Wikipedia's styles/methods on Catholic things since don't work on many Catholic articles. Would you please proofread the article for any spelling errors, poorly worded statements, or bad wikilinks? I appreciate your help. Royalbroil 16:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Regarding this [1] edit on Mayo Medical School

Can you provide a reference for that? I knew there was an affiliation with the PA program but was not aware of one with the medical school. Also, can you state the exact nature of the affiliation? The clinic itself has affiliations with hundreds of universities, but if its specific to the medical school it would be helpful to know exactly what it is. Thanks! Gtadoc 21:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for adding a reference, I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to create a seperate page for the medical school (which does not include the PA school) and the larger College of Medicine (which includes PA, PT, Dentists, and residency/fellowships. Gtadoc 17:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Governors of Wisconsin

Thank you for your suggestions! I'm still working on improving the List of Governors (I'm hoping to get it up to Featured list status eventually), and I've been a bit cautious about adding too much information, since the article is really only a List of Governors of Wisconsin: if I can amass enough information, I think there should be two articles, rather like List of Governors of California and Governor of California. Again, thanks for your suggestions! If you come up with any more, feel free to tell me, or add them to the article yourself. —Salmar ^(talk) 20:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Black Hawk War

Thanks for the thanks! I am glad you are enjoying them, I really have enjoyed working on them. Your comments could not have come at a better time, the wikistress level is through the roof. I am working on an improved version of Battle of Bad Axe so look for that in the next couple of days. If you're interested in military history, I am slowly working on a meticulous article about the United States Army Chemical Corps. Thanks again for the kudos. :) IvoShandor 09:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Roman Catholic Bishops

As a member of WikiProject Catholicism I wanted to inform you that some members of Wikipedia believe that most Roman Catholic Bishops do not merit an article on Wikipedia. Since I am unaware of a position on Wikipedia on this matter I decided to bring this to your attention.

County templates?

From one geography-concentrated editor to another :-) Do you do any work with navigational templates? Of all states that have counties without navboxes, Wisconsin is the most complete: only ten counties lack them — Taylor, Trempealeau, Vernon, Vilas, Walworth, Washington, Waupaca, Waushara, Winnebago, and Wood. Could you create and place these templates, or find a Wisconsin-centered editor who could? Thanks! And by the way: you can use my county templates subpage to check on how many remain. Nyttend 02:17, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note about Richfield and the other communities; I've made the changes. Let me ask: do you know how properly to edit county templates? If not, I'd advise that you work with them in a sandbox; I don't know anything of coding, except what I've discovered from experience, and I've found it very easy to work with these ones. It would be easier for you if you could make the changes instead of having to wait until I was able to do it :-) Nyttend (talk) 20:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

You definitely didn't wait long to get working :-) One thing, however: since the point of a county navbox is to provide navigation from any of those places to any of those places, if you find a community that's not listed, would you be willing to add the template onto the community article? Nyttend (talk) 21:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Good job :-) I don't know much about other kinds of templates, so it might not be as easy to do those ones, but any US County Navbox-based template works the same way. Nyttend (talk) 19:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

That editor is inexperienced and overenthusiastic, needs some help. & I explained to him on his talk page -- a number of us have been trying to offer assistance to him--dont take it personally. people do this to one or two towns a day, but usually not to such a substantial article. By the way, when you place a hangon, it is a good idea to give an explanation on the talk page as well just to make sure. -- (if you are wondering at the town I edited, a close relative lived there) DGG (talk) 22:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Janesville

You left me a message about vandalism you reverted on the Janesville, WI article. I'm a bit confused though; you reverted to my last edit, but left the vandalism message on my talk page rather than the talk page of the user who did the vandalism. Was there a specific reason you left the message for me rather than the person who did the vandalism? The change was a good catch, and I agree that 24.159.235.246 vandalized. I just don't understand why you told me. Thanks in advance for clarifying. WeisheitSuchen 20:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to be doing the 2008 Great Midwest Trivia Contest this weekend starting at 10:00 tonight and ending on midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning, so I won't be around here much except as a consumer.

NHLs in WI

Hi RFD, thanks for ur note of appreciation on List of National Historic Landmarks in Wisconsin. I was happy to fill it out as far as it went. Your addition to the Hamlin Garland House is helpful already. As you see, many of the articles are very short now, the List itself is missing short text descriptions and pictures for most of the individual NHLs; if u are inspired to develop any of it further, please be bold and go ahead! I myself am focussed more on List of National Historic Landmarks in New York right now. Cheers, doncram (talk) 19:00, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Tilleda, Wisconsin

Should I add a picture of the ice racing? I went there on Saturday. I took pictures of the cars racing and some poorer ones in the pits. Royalbroil 13:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Um, you mean ice racing, right? Should I use a great picture of a car(s) racing or one from the pits? I have another picture of an odd looking racecar that has a house in Tilleda in the background. Which of these sounds the most encyclopedic? Royalbroil 15:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's my flickr photostream [2] if you want to look at a few of the pictures. All are marked CC-SA. Royalbroil 15:52, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The picture of the Waukau, Wisconsin mill could be used if anyone decides to write an article. I think I have a few pictures of the community, but it was a rainy day so they probably aren't very good. Royalbroil 18:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Would you look over the most recent edit to the article. I have been reverting the change as unsourced and controversial. Would you give your opinion? Should I recommend the article for semi-protection since this edit has happened by multiple anons? I probably shouldn't semi-protect it myself since I'm involved. Royalbroil 14:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your time. I have listed it at Requests for Page Protection, so we'll see what happens. The Point Place article claims that the actors have a Midwestern accent. I don't hear it. Imagine that! Royalbroil 14:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Oconto County template

With the Oconto County template, there was one small error that you made: you forgot to add the line "body4" to the template. Compare the current state of the template with your first edition. And don't think yourself stupid: it's an easy error to make, and I've done it plenty of times. Nyttend (talk) 19:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Crestview

Interestingly, there are two Crestviews in Wisconsin: one in Rock County, just north of Beloit (details here U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: RFD/Archive/ 1) and the one you asked about (details here U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: RFD/Archive/ 1). There's no real reason to delete a placename — even if it doesn't deserve an article, it should remain as a redirect. I'd advise you to do five things:

1. Move Crestview to Crestview, Racine County, Wisconsin
2. Merge Crestview's verifiable contents into the village article, making the previously-existent article into a redirect
3. Create Crestview, Wisconsin as a disambiguation page
4. Create a small page for the other Crestview and add it to the county template (if it's not within a village or city) or a redirect (if it is)
5. Tell me when you're done, since "Crestview, Racine, WI" isn't a likely title, and no real reason to keep as a redirect, so I'll delete it.

Hope this is helpful! Nyttend (talk) 14:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Pretty much wanna live there now, I'm the artsy weirdo writer type so I think I would find it inspiring, a job at the Dubuque newspaper and I'd be set. :) The Washburne family is indeed quite interesting, the Elihu house wasn't open when I was there but I went through the Grant House and then drove to Elizabeth and went through the Apple River Fort, I went all over the county and I can't wait to get back there!

I replied on my talk page - the town article had been incorrectly redirected to the village in 2006 instead of being left as 2 articles since they are actually separate government units. I also left a message hoping to break up the two. When I think of Fremont, I think about the sturgeon spawning on the Wolf River in spring.

Orphans

Hi RFD. I think you may be either confusing orphans with dead-end pages or misunderstanding the orphan criteria. Articles that don't have at least three links to them are considered orphans. For those purposes, links from disambiguation pages, lists, and pages not in mainspace do not count as links. Details are at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Orphanage#Criteria. Would you please read that and stop removing orphan tags form articles that actually are orphaned? If you'd like to remove the tags, please consider de-orphaning the articles first. Thank you. -- Avocado (talk) 22:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Just letting you know I posted a response to your latest message in the discussion on my talk page. ;-) -- Avocado (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Seeing those towns that you've added to templates that Avocado tagged: were they deleted from the county articles some time before the county templates were made? It would seem odd that they got left off somehow otherwise. Nyttend (talk) 01:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I do not know if they were deleted from the county article. That possibility exists.Thank you-RFD (talk) 10:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Towns vs. villages/cities

I think it's important to note a well-sourced proof since there has been considerable confusion with non-Wisconsinites lately on the topic. My proof is New Holstein, Wisconsin versus New Holstein (town), Wisconsin. I took a picture of the town's hall and garage. The photo clearly says Town of New Holstein Hall and Garage. This photo was taken almost one mile north of the city on Tecumseh Road about 0.1 miles east of Wisconsin Highway 57 [3]. I recently added a paragraph on the city article from a book source that talks about how the city was originally named Altona, but that the stop on the railroad was named New Holstein because their was a similarly named post office in Altoona, Wisconsin. The city became renamed after the town that surrounded it! So there's proof on both articles of the difference. I can take a picture of the city hall if someone wants more photographic proof. I drove by it that same day and I took a picture of a historic marker next to the city hall. Another clearly labeled photographic proof is the Chilton city hall versus Town of Chilton town hall. Point anyone to my current post if they are confused about the difference. Royalbroil 17:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad that you enjoy these photos! I have been taking pictures of some the town halls in towns as I have been driving by them. I took pictures of most of the cities last year. I do go to different places in my other travels/vacation. I get out a lot this time of year driving to racetracks. I have gone to 11 different racetracks so far this year from Wausau and ice races at Tilleda to Jefferson to Luxemburg. Racing season starts around May 1st. Royalbroil 18:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

In my mind, it would have been easier if WP:Wisconsin had decided to leave the city and village articles as "_____ (city), Wisconsin" or "_____ (village), Wisconsin"... I came here because I had a question: do you watch all of Wisconsin's town articles? I appreciate your tagging the RPC of Vernon; any local sources on the place? As you can see, I have plenty of information on the congregation, but virtually nothing on the building after the congregation disappeared. Nyttend (talk) 00:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your nice note, RFD. Sometimes people take simple disagreements too far.

Photo request

I request that sometime when you're in the beautiful city of La Crosse (wish I was), please take a picture of LaCrosse State Teachers College Training School Building (now Morris Hall) which I found at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Wisconsin. I miss Granddad Bluff and that awesome drive up the Mississippi on WIS 35. I'll have to do that drive again sometime in the next few years. I'd go more often if it wasn't a whole state away. I miss the driftless area too. Royalbroil 04:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's hard for you to take a picture if you don't have a camera! Are you sure that Winnebago, Wisconsin is real? I've always understood it to be a zip code for a fictitious town that run through the Oshkosh post office (but I've been wrong before). It's used for mass junk mailings, just like Young America, Minnesota. I haven't been through Van Dyne in many years. It's the only incorporated community in the area between Fond du Lac and Oshkosh by WIS 41 and Lake Winnebago. I hope and pray that things heal on your shoulder. Royalbroil 21:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Good job on your recent edits to Wisconsin articles. You catch everything that I do! (That's a good thing). I did upload a lot of photos recently, eh? I do agree that Wabeno does have the best water in the state! I took those pictures recently and I was easily convinced. I've definitely traveled the state enough to make a valid judgment. Did I ever tell you that I used a highlighter on a state road map when I turned 16 and highlighted every road that I had been on up until then, which consisted of driving down the Wisconsin River to Prairie du Chien, up the Mississippi to LaCrosse, and back home by Lake Winnebago? Since then, whenever I travel I highlight the road that I just took after I'm done traveling for the day. The highways on southern and eastern halves of the state are about 85% highlighted, and the northwest quarter is about 50% covered. Lots of county roads are highlighted too. I wish you could see it - it's a work of art. Royalbroil 00:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

"vandalism revert"?

Are you aware that the line I removed was duplicated in the article?

You should try thinking before you write.

That was an obvious change that anyone could have made.

Moving the reference tag ma have been mistaken...

...but deleting duplicate info isn't even a mistake, let alone vandalism.

I appreciate your retraction of such accusation. Vengeance is mine, saith the Prime 20:38, 4 Aug 2008 (UTC)

Re-evaluated and teaked so it is not as repetitive. Better now?

Vengeance is mine, saith the Prime 20:43, 4 Aug 2008 (UTC)

I understand. Moving the ref tag was an error (normal references follow the entire sentence usually).

Looking at other towns, I see that line is routinely duplicated. I don't like it, but it is pretty consistent.

(I generally don't like blind repetition.)

Anyway, I understand, "all is forgiven", "no hard feelings", etc., whatever.

Vengeance is mine, saith the Prime 20:57, 4 Aug 2008 (UTC)

There is an article that you or some other members of WP Wisconsin might want to develop.

I would do it but my content production has been pretty limited, I have found it much more enjoyable to be a bit more gnomish.

Templates for warning users

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Little Switzerland (Wisconsin): You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. —Politizer^{( talk • contribs )} 15:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree, you should be a bit more aggressive about giving out warnings. I love to give them the WP:UTM templates when I see no good editing history. That way they are given progressively more severe warnings and it is traceable to the level 3 and 4 warnings. I would have given a level 3 "Introducing deliberate factual errors" warning for the recent vandalism on your userpage. Your warning comes across more like a level 1 or 2 slap on the wrist warning instead of a STOP NOW warning. Vandalism blocks and indefinitely blocks come after a progression of more severe warnings which go unheeded. If it's a well-established or at least somewhat constructive contributor, then you should give the personal messages like you did in that case. I agree with your reverts to the Fredonia, Wisconsin article, and the removal of the external link farm from the Lake Geneva, Wisconsin article. The only external links that I feel are appropriate for a city are the official city website and the chamber of commercial. Royalbroil 02:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Saw you're inquiry on Kranar's talk, last time I checked it, it was not ready, but all the sources you should need are probably there, I don't think Kranar's around as much so I thought I would give you some semblance of a response. --IvoShandor (talk) 12:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You should just be able to move it to Fort Blue Mounds without an admin. Make sure you create a redirect at Blue Mounds Fort. Kranar won't mind, and we don't really need his permission anyway, though I am certain he would give it. :-) --IvoShandor (talk) 12:37, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

More on towns vs. unincorporated communities

Sigh, it's happening again. There's yet another thread, at least this time the contributor understands the difference between a town and an unincorporated community (I think). He/she wants proof from the Blue Book, a county or town website, etc. that there's some (any) unincorporated community inside a town where both have the same name. Do you know any examples from strong sources? I used google maps and my official 2001/2002 state highway map on Townsend (community) vs. Townsend (town). It's located in Oconto County on WIS 32 and County T. Royalbroil 02:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

CDPs

Thanks for the note: I tracked down several problematic edits by two IPs, reverting everything that wasn't acceptable, and placing notes on the talk pages of the two IPs. Don't feel hesitant about reverting once or twice: it's plainly against consensus, so an edit war in this case is restoring the standard format. If you think you're approaching 3RR, either blatantly or in spirit, ask me. And also, as Royalbroil noted before, don't hesitate to leave warning templates: as these two IPs have already been notified that they're going against the standard format, please ensure that they continue to be told if they continue to cause problems. Nyttend (talk) 17:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

The same person keeps coming back, reverting my edits and giving me a personal attack on my talk page, but with a different IP address. It's obvious that it's the same person: although I left one message on one IP talk page and another on another talk page, this third IP treats the messages that I left as if I'd left it for the third IP, and the third IP has blanked the talk pages of the other two. Please check up on the CDPs frequently: I don't want to get close to a 3RR situation myself. Moreover, since the person is obviously the same — apparently a dynamic IP — if you continue to see any IPs doing this, please issue warnings to any of them as if it were all the same IP or a single user. Nyttend (talk) 21:54, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if perhaps I should use my alternate screenname here? The person has been following me around, too: Shirley Abrahamson, {{Wisconsin Supreme Court}}, Pryor Creek, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma Supreme Court have all been edited: they're primarily useful edits, but what is the chance of anyone else editing all four pages (and others that I've worked with) in the same day I did? Nyttend backup (talk) 23:38, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Things We Learned In Kindergarten

• Misbehaving people eventually get in trouble
• Those people sometimes get better, but sometimes don't

For restoring the attack on this page, so soon after getting a final warning, I've blocked 69.120.182.161 for 24 hours and, because s/he tends to blank talk pages, I've prevented him/her from editing the talk page during that time. Now we'll see what the other IPs do. Nyttend (talk) 15:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Astronauts

Given your recent edit to the article Daniel Brandenstein, I would like to ask you to join the discussion about the merits of such information, over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Space#Trivia. Aecis·(away) ^talk 16:44, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

So to get it straight: you were reverting 69.120.182.161 (talk · contribs), without taking a position in the content dispute in that article? You stated on my talk page: "if ones hobbies, recreation, etc., is already listed elsewhere and is verfiable then it should be mention." Anything we mention should be verifiable, obviously, but should anything that is verifiable be mentioned here? Why? How does it add anything to the encyclopedic content to know that an astronaut likes to go woodworking or scuba diving? How is it relevant? And how is it any different from the countless singer biographies we've got that state that a singer's favourite colour is blue? Aecis·(away) ^talk 17:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

I've filed a sockpuppet case in regard to all these recent IPs with the CDPs. Could you look there and offer an opinion? Nyttend (talk) 21:10, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

When you get back

If you've logged out yet, you'll likely not get this until your leave is over; but I'd like you to know that attacks such as this have led me to give the IP a final warning: I'm going to block any and all IPs that I see this person using if any more attacks are made, perhaps for up to a week. Nyttend (talk) 22:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I understand - a wikibreak is a good idea for you right now to let everything cool down. Let me know if you'd like your userpage (but not talk page) semiprotected. If these edits introduce factual inaccuracies like stating that Jesuits aren't a Roman Catholic order, then they can be cleaned up when you return. There is no time limit for completing Wikipedia! Wordsmithing might need to be done to make everyone happy. And thanks for the update, Nyttend. This situation can't continue like it is because it's wasting too many people's time. Royalbroil 22:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

No one ever stated that Jesuits weren't a Roman Catholic order!!!!!! In fact, I stated that since they were a Roman Catholic order that "Roman Catholic Jesuit" was redundant. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!! READ MY EDITS; DON'T JUST RELY ON INNUENDO. All of my edits have been contributions: copyediting of sloppy, ungrammatical, awkward writing.

Which of these sounds better to you?

Kombo was ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood for the Society of Jesus.

On April 7, 1983, Pope John Paul II appointed Maggiolini Bishop of the Diocese of Carpi, Italy, and he was consecrated a bishop on May 29, 1983.

RFD has trouble writing. I helped rephrase some of his work to reduce wordiness. Is that vandalism?

Nyttend has gotten into a tizzy because I've blanked my user pages (which is perfectly legitimate per WP talk page guidelines) and have expressed opinions he disagrees with.

You know Wikipedia seems to be loosing it's mind or something. I am right now being deluged with Orthodox articles about Orthodoxy not being sourced enough and here people are trying to create informative articles with clear sourcing and even information about the sourcing and wha-la! It gets deleted. Please come to either the East-West Schism talk article or it's now forked compadre- Catholic–Orthodox theological differences. So you can collect justification for the article since it would obviously need to be restored in it's relation as a source for these two articles. Let alone others. Richard can restore it.

Thanks for making me aware of the problems on his article. You need to be more aggressive in clear cases of people violating WP:BLP. WP:BLP is a very strong policy that you can base reverting on, even if you need to break the 3 revert rule. Undoing an edit that you think violates BLP won't get you into trouble. User:Jimbo Wales has been extremely specific about that. You can always bring up your concerns at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard, which gets LOTS of attention. You don't need to wait for me to be online. I left messages on the article's talk page and on the other user's page. Feel free to bring it up to User:Orangemike or any other admin if that makes more sense. In this case, it might have been easier to find a reliable source to source the edit, because I have a feeling that there's some out there. Royalbroil 01:01, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I've upgraded the article somewhat. No worries about the map: this is one of the standard dot maps that was created several years ago, and this series is virtually always reliable.

Do you want to be given the WP:ROLLBACK option? You do vandal fighting on Wisconsin articles, and it would make it easier and quicker to get rid of obvious vandalism. I'm sure you won't abuse it.

Thanks for doing the article, I'm glad to see some of the important writers on the war getting articles. It was always my intention to stub the major writers, especially those from the 19th century, but I never got around to it. I read Wakefield's 1834 history of the Black Hawk War in my research for the topic improvement we did. Very interesting. I always found all the old histories interesting. It's fun to compare both interpretation and language to the modern day literature. Thanks again. You've been more than helpful on the Black Hawk War for awhile now. :-)--IvoShandor (talk) 01:15, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks good, I gave the article a once over just for good measure. I looked but I don't have any sources compiled on Gratiot's Grove. I have Kerry Trask's 2006 book on the Black Hawk War it has a little bit on the grove but not much. It might have some sourced mentions in some of the other Black Hawk War articles I've worked on, and then you could pour over those sources to see if there is anything further, that might be a good place to start. --IvoShandor (talk) 16:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Alright here's what Trask says (paraphrased). And a citation: Trask, Kerry A. Black Hawk: The Battle for the Heart of America, Henry Holt: 2006, (ISBN 0805077588).

1. P. 62: Gratiot's Grove is one of eleven mining and smelting towns that sprang up in Wisconsin considered "most significant".
2. P. 104: Henry Gratiot had a large mining and smelting operation at Gratiot's Grove, which was located just north of the Illinois-Wisconsin border. In March 1831, Gratiot was appointed sub-agent to the Winnebago for the region south of Prairie du Chien.

There's a bit more on pp. 229-231, mostly having to do with the town's involvement in the Black Hawk War. Dodge stopped there, along with others in the command structure, it role is important but peripheral. I'll see if I can dig up more, if you know the county it's in, most counties have old county histories, often available in full on Google Books, or at the local library. --IvoShandor (talk) 16:09, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

You probably know about this but I have a Black Hawk War "project" of sorts in my user space: User:IvoShandor/Black Hawk War, there is a template off to the right that you can navigate the various project pages and you can feel free to add your name amongst the participants on the page linked above. There's quite a bit compiled and you are free to use the space at will. You can add content to any of the pages, you may find the creations needed subpage helpful, as well as a good place to compile information. Don't worry too much about format of the pages where you add content, I can always come by and tweak it later. --IvoShandor (talk) 16:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. I might also suggest Patrick Jung's newish book - "The Black Hawk War of 1832", I haven't read it yet but have been perusing it on Google Books, looks like a pretty decent account of the war. There is also available, full view on Google Books, the public domain 1881 History of Lafayette County, just search Gratiot's Grove on the right. Wasn't sure if you'd seen that yet, but it seems to have some useful information. Good luck. :-)--IvoShandor (talk) 17:38, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

You can probably add the WP WI template to the Abe article, I'm pretty sure he made his way into Wisconsin near the end of the war. The article is still missing some info, so it should become clearer as i progress.--IvoShandor (talk) 00:34, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

The names were missing I do not know if it had something to do with your edit or something in the system itsellf.

There is nothing that wikification can do about this. It's not about formatting or linking entries. The only thing you can do is to go through the article's history to look for an earlier version that has these missing names. If you can't find them in the history, you may need to contact and administrator. But in any case, the {{wikification}} tag is not appropriate and as such, I'm reverting nack to {{intromissing}}. -- Whpq (talk) 18:42, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I came across this article today and just thought I'd drop you a line. I've given it some TLC- copy edit, grammar and a little cleanup, though nothing major.

I'd advise merging and redirecting; neighborhoods of municipalities don't typically get their own articles unless there are strong reasons, such as a clear and defined boundary or a former municipal status (for example, College Hill (Beaver Falls), where I'm sitting right now).

Arthur A. Bentleys

Rats. I'd think, no matter how beaten-down the Democrats were in that era (there were so few votes in the Democratic primary that Bentley the Dem was technically not given the Democratic ballot line, but listed as "Independent"), that a nomination for Gov. would qualify for mention in an obit; so I guess they were different Arthur A. Bentleys. Hmmm... mayor of La Crosse and prominent photographer... perhaps the La Crosse AAB makes the notability standards. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:09, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Consolidations

Thanks for the notice! I've updated the Minnesota township article, along with the county article and the county template. I'm not entirely sure what to do with the village/town consolidation. Isn't there already one town/village consolidation? I'm strongly inclined to believe that there is, but I've not a clue what its name is or in what county it's located. A similar situation has occurred in New York, but again I don't remember name or county. In both situations, since it's both a village and a town, the template lists it on both lines. If you could find me the name of the Wisconsin village/town, or if you could prove that I'm mistaken, I'll be quite appreciative :-) Nyttend (talk) 00:34, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

So there's no town there at all anymore? Is it somewhat similar to a paper township in Ohio? Are you meaning that the situation is like Lordstown, Ohio? I'm yet a little confused, despite your explanation — not complaining about the explanation, just somewhat unfamiliar with Wisconsin law. Nyttend (talk) 13:57, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

That's not what I meant to ask; sorry for not explaining myself. Let me tell you what I think the situation is, and then please tell me where I'm wrong — the town decided to incorporate as a village, and by Wisconsin law, when all the area of a town is occupied by a village or city, the town ceases to exist. How does this sound? Nyttend (talk) 14:13, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

And one more thing — what do you think about what I've done just now? Sorry for asking so many questions; I don't want to make mistakes without someone knowing about them. Nyttend (talk) 14:17, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

By the way, I found the New York consolidation — see Harrison, New York. Nyttend (talk) 14:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks: I understand now. I had been confused by the term "consolidation", because this made me think that it was both a town and a village. Nyttend (talk) 22:52, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

By the way, seeing your comments at ThaddeusB's talk page (thanks for helping!), I wanted to note — most Ohio townships do have elections, etc., and the "paper townships" that don't are altogether nonexistent in effect. See Defunct townships of Cuyahoga County, Ohio for what I mean — for example, Parma Township officially exists, but nobody really knows that. However, anywhere where even a tiny bit of township remains (see Chagrin Township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio), there's a standard township government, just as with the townships that have small bits or no bits incorporated as cities or villages.

Autoreviewer vs rollbacker

Now that you got autoreviewer user rights, you see it doesn't affect you much. You should let me give you WP:ROLLBACKER. It's no big deal either! I am certain that you'd use it cautiously and judiciously, that's why you should have it! You spot plenty of vandalism in Wisconsin articles and would put it to good use.

Necedah Shrine

The Necedah Shrine article had a lot of problems with unsourced assertions, editorial commentary, and unclear writing, so I took the axe to it. Next week I'm going to look up more old newspaper articles to find more factual and reliably sourced information. If you think the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe being erected in response to Necedah fits in the article, feel free to add it. It would also be appropriate for the Guadalupe article. Thanks for the info. --Sift&Winnow 20:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I talked someone into licensing their images of the Shrine to Creative Commons - they are now able to be uploaded to Commons. I can do that part. Which images should we use?

It seems like the Diocese of La Crosse must have, at some time or other, issued some sort of public statement disavowing the Necedah Shrine or advising parishioners not to patronize it. Do you know of anything like that that could be added to the article? --Sift&Winnow 01:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

adding articles to "wikipedia projects: agriculture"

hi,
I noticed you just added an article I created to "wikipedia project: agriculture". FYI, I'm creating hundreds of articles on agriculture using content from a public-domain glossary published by a government research organization. You might want to look at the articles I've created to see whether any of these fit your project (or a related project). http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/pages/index.php?name=Agradman&namespace=0

The thing that they all have in common is the following wiki text in the "references" section (i.e. maybe you can generate a bot to do this for you)

*Adapted from [http://ncseonline.org/nle/crsreports/05jun/97-905.pdf CRS Report for Congress: Agriculture: A Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition - Order Code 97-905], a document in the public domain.

Roman Catholic Diocese of La Crosse

I noticed that you removed the history of the diocese because of copyright concerns. I'm glad you pay attention to that issue because it's an important one. However, if this is the material whose copyright you thought was violated, there seems to be some misunderstanding. That edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia was published 1907-1912, meaning that its copyright protection has expired. In fact, at one time the entire encyclopedia was a WP wikibook; I'm not sure if it still is. Basically, anything published in the U.S. before 1923 is in the public domain because of copyright expiration. A good place to look for information on copyright expiration dates is the Cornell Copyright Information Center. I'm adding the diocesan history back into the article, because I think it's safe to do so. Thanks for paying attention to copyright issues. --Sift&Winnow 00:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

"The article was copied from the Catholic Encyclopedia and put into the article with no effort on the anon editor's part to merge it with the rest of the article."

Fortunately, I found a source that does say he was born in Dodge County: the index to his birth record. I added it. (I even added it to the Addie Joss article.) Please read it.

Citation template

Hi, RFD. It's sometimes a bit of a juggle deciding which citations-needed template to use. For example, I used to use 'unreferenced' on rare occasions, but then had to change it if I added references later in the day. I started using 'citations-missing' most of the time a few weeks ago because it makes it easier on all concerned. But my general feeling is that it's more important to call attention to a problem than to worry too much about how, because I'd rather spend the time solving one or two. Less about form and more about perform.
In the case of the Berrigan article (which I'm guessing elicited your comment), it's not so much that it needs *more* citations for verification than it needs *lots and lots of citations* because -there are very few-. And, IMHO, the subject deserves the best work. Twang (talk) 21:21, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Wow, I did good! I got over 500 pictures of communites starting from Dodgeville, then west and up the Mississippi River from Prairie du Chien to Cochrane with a drive through Winona, Minnesota for some soda (one of my childhood jokes was getting soda in Minnesota). Then west from Fountain City, Wisconsin to Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. I don't know where to start with La Crosse because I got some many pictures there. I might need to email some to you so that you can identify some of the places. Too bad the Hixon house was closed, I was going to tour it. I got to speak with one of the actors during the history days downtown. The races at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway were good but too cold. I recognized a bunch of drivers from many other racetracks from this year. This, the 33th track of 2009, might be the last of the year. Fortunately I got a few okay pictures of Dick Trickle walking through the race cars before the Dick Trickle 99 race. The Swarthout was interesting, mass at the cathedral was special, but the best part was touring the Rose Chapel. One of those pictures is one of the best pictures that I've ever taken. Great pictures from Granddad Bluff, especially the overview of UW-La Crosse! I already spend several hours renaming and identifying pictures. I bet there'll be over 100 pictures to upload.

I would have loved meeting too, but the other people that I came with vetoed it. We improvised the mass time and almost everything else on the trip. I even went to the track on Friday night instead of Saturday night because on Friday it looked like Saturday would be washed or snowed out. Maybe we could meet if you ever come to the Fox Valley because then I could come on my own. Maybe I'll come to La Crosse's race weekend next year to catch the Saturday program and we could arrange something then. Royalbroil 01:16, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I marked the photos that I took. I'll add a picture of Western Hall at UW-La Crosse and a view of UWL from Granddad Bluff. I have a poor photograph of the interior of the cathedral in La Crosse, but I don't think I can upload it because it's too new and might infringe on the architect's work.

Homer Dopp

Thank you very much for the information RFD. It was not a name I knew. I will inform family members :). I did a check in google and that must be Homer Roger Dopp mentioned here [7] born in Wisconsin in 1875 to Amos Dopp&Mary Moyes. Apparently, there was a contemporaneous namesake living in or around Amsterdam, NY who lost a son in Belgium in Jan. 1945 [8]. Some more info on Wisconsin H. Dopp (combined with a Dopf branch, who kept the German language spelling) could be found at [9] I guess. I will search again. Regards. Cretanforever (talk) 07:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

I'll check that. Thanks for the feedback. Cretanforever (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

That was very interesting RFD. I had the time to check it now and thank you very much and sincere congratulations. :) I gave the tip (and the links) to a lot of people. In all likelihood, contact between New England Dopps (my branch of the family) and those of Wisconsin was broken sometime across the 20th century but it's good to know that at least two people of the name made a name there.

Going into details over the name, my grandfather, R.D.Dopp, was a prominent name in Connecticut education (whole sections of the family seem to have gone into education, both in Wisconsin and New England:). Before that, he was in the military glider troops during World War II, flew in one of these (Waco CG-4), missed the D-Day because he had -luckily, one may say- broken an ankle twice slightly before, but kept on in it afterwards.

LaCrosse area images

I finally got around to uploading a bunch more from that trip. I still have probably 100 pictures to upload from various trips. I'm really happy with the pictures from Perrot State Park. Some day I may nominate that picture of Trempealeau Mountain for that Wisconsin State Parks calendar for their "Friends" association. I submitted a few in 2008 but didn't hear anything.

I took today as a vacation day - time to leave and tour the most famous Appleton historic home. I've never been inside even though I started the article about it (it appeared on the main page for DYK). Cheers!Royalbroil

I added everything from the LaCrosse trip - lots of very nice pictures. I still have 130 pictures queued to upload from various places and situations in Wisconsin. About 45 pictures need to be uploaded from the Nationwide Series cars at the Milwaukee Mile. That race got canceled for 2010 because of the track promoter's financial issues. Luckily the state owns the facility, so racing should resume some time in the future. I'm excited that the 2010 race has been moved to Road America which is a lot closer to me (and I'm a big road course fan). Pretty soon I'll do the LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway article and get it on the main page. It's Wisconsin's only NASCAR-sanctioned asphalt weekly track. There is a NASCAR-sanctioned dirt track in NW Wisconsin. Royalbroil 14:58, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism reversion?

What's up with this reversion? I think I'd make a couple of changes, but I certainly wouldn't call it vandalism. -Freekee (talk) 02:18, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I'd make a lot of changes in tone and I'd challenge some of the content as being unsourced. I wouldn't call it vandalism, though. The anon does appear to be knowledgeable about Grafton (especially about village hall) and some of the editing is constructive. Vandalism is an ugly word that I try not to use too much - but it's hard not to some times. In my mind, if anything in the edit is usable, or done in good faith, then you shouldn't call it vandalism. I know that you can't undo the edit summary, so don't worry about it or let it cause you stress. I've had several edit summaries that I wish I could take back! That's what happens when you've been here as long as we have. Please chalk it up as a mulligan and don't worry about it. The best thing to do would be to edit some of the content back into the article, especially if you can verify it. Royalbroil 01:12, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Winnebago Mental Health Institute location

Are you positive that it's located in Winnebago? The source doesn't support it, and I've always considered it part of Oshkosh. I've always heard that Winnebago, Wisconsin is a former community that is now part of Oshkosh and that it's former zip code is now used by Oshkosh for their PO Boxes. On this map you can see that it's located in 54901, which is the same zip code as UW-Oshkosh. The institute is the green dot near North Asylum Bay. Hearsay from me doesn't mean much. I'd appreciate if you would do some more research and see what you can dig up. Royalbroil 03:19, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Wisconsin recent changes list

Just to let you know, I'm currently in the process of cleaning up Wikipedia:WikiProject Wisconsin/Wisconsin recent changes. It used to be a list that only took about 20 minutes to update (using Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:WikiProject_Wisconsin), but it got messed up when Dual Freq added hundreds of articles (here and here) that had the word "Wisconsin" in them but did not have the template on the talk page. So when I tried to update the page in Nov. 2008 and Dec. 2009, these would all be removed. When I looked at some of these articles, many of them have nothing to do with Wisconsin; some have the word "Wisconsin" in their references, etc. So I've been going through each of the added articles (by first letter) and either adding the template to the talk page or removing the article from the "Wisconsin recent changes" list. I've gotten to R, and should be done in the next couple of days.

I say this because I don't want you to feel like you have go through the trouble of adding individual articles (like Dacada) to the list; if they have the template in the talk page, they will be added to the list when I re-run the update after finishing the cleanup. (Though you're welcome to, of course.) ((Also, my apologies for just deleting your entire user talk page.)) Cheers --BaronLarf 12:55, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Bishops O'Connell and Gallegos articles

Hello, I see that you also built Bishop Eugene O'Connell's article. There is a nifty fact about him in this SacBee article, Supporters work to boost former Sacramento bishop closer to sainthood. The SacBee newspaper reprint on the Bishop Gallegos Maternity Home website, named for the deceased bishop, has a neat fact about O'Connell: (from the 14th paragraph near the Pope and Bishop photo) Bishop Eugene O'Connell, Sacramento's first bishop, was moved from Los Angeles to Sacramento after he died more than 100 years ago. I would like to incorporate this as the last statement in O'Connell's article but the sacbee.com website is down and I will be logging off soon. It might help to have another editor put this fact in as I just copyeditted O'Connell's article. If you have time, could you write and cite it? Also as per Gallegos' talkpage, that article has great info that can go into his (hint, hint). Thanks in advance.--Morenooso (talk) 05:32, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Wisconsin unincorporated communities request

I took a road trip this Sunday and took pictures of a bunch of unincorporated communities. Since you always find some great sources for the communities - I'm wondering if you'd take requests and start the following articles. I'll be uploading pictures of them sometime. I have about 50 pictures to upload from various trips to race tracks. Some have the same name as the town that they are in:

• Winnebago County
  • Pickett - Cty Hwy M & WIS 44
  • Waukau - WIS 91 & WIS 116

• Wausara County
  • Borth - Cty Hwy D
  • Poy Sippi - WIS 49 & Cty H
  • Pine River - Cty Hwys H & E
  • Mt. Morris - WIS 152 (east terminus), Cty Hwys G & W
  • Saxeville - Cty Hwy W & A

A few other misc. ones from other trips:

• Brown County
  • Hollandtown - 1 mile west & 1 mile north of Forest Junction - my WIS map says Holland but the signs and everyone else calls it Hollandtown

• Oconto County
  • Stiles - US 41

• Sheboygan County
  • Gooseville (photographed a historic mill that looked ready to fall down)

•

Re: Freistadt

I think that Freistadt should be brought back as a separate article seeing as it was and still is the location of the first Lutheran Church in Wisconsin. It was also the head quarters of a Lutheran Synod for 3 years. Loopygrumpkins (talk) 21:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I would not be opposed to this, if there was interest in bringing it back. It was originally merged as part of an effort to depopulate a rather empty category of "neighborhoods in Wisconsin", but I had second thoughts about the merger after I made it happen. --BaronLarf 09:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Alphonse Gallegos for Did you know on March 27, 2010

Hello, I believe this honor should go to you as the creator of Bishop Alphonse Gallegos' article. Today his body is being moved to the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament and on March 27, 2010 is scheduled to be re-interred.

March 27 is cited as a fact which is a requirement for DYK. Would you please nominate this article to Did you know using that wikilink? It would be nice if the article was picked up today.

Thanks in advance and for what you did in starting this article. Also, if it does get listed be prepared for the page to get defaced as vandals love to trash DYK articles. --Morenooso (talk) 12:20, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I recommend you ask Nyttend who is listed on your talkpage as the form/nomination confused me. He has had some successful articles nominated and accepted to DYK. I recommend you copy what is posted here on his talkpage and request he help you. He is way smarter than this average bear. Cheers! --Morenooso (talk) 12:59, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

BTW, in the DYK nomination, it should be noted that it is very unusual and rare that the Catholic faith moves a body like this. It is only done in special cases like his when being considered for sainthood. He would become the second Sacramento bishop (after Eugene O'Connell to be moved. --Morenooso (talk) 13:13, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, the article doesn't qualify: it wasn't created in the last five days (obviously!), and Morenooso's expansion in the last couple of days doesn't make the article at least five times its previous length. If that hadn't been the case, I would have nominated it. Nyttend (talk) 14:13, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

By the way, if you have an article that passes the DYK criteria (1500+ characters, created or at least 5x expanded in the last five days), just tell me and I'll be happy to nominate it. You can provide a hook (the statement that appears on the Main Page) or you can ask me to write one; it doesn't matter. Nyttend (talk) 22:27, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your compliments! I've enjoyed writing them (more are partially written; I'm waiting for a county history book via interlibrary loan), as well, of course, as visiting them. Most rural areas in this part of the country are predominately Methodist; driving through the Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches is quite interesting, with the little wooden Methodist churches being replaced by the huge brick Catholic churches that are the namesake of the region. There are some spots from which you can see five or six. Nyttend (talk) 00:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Adolph Walter Rich, thanks and questions

Thanks for your comments on Adolph Walter Rich. Now, if I want to see what is happening with a submission, for example if I want to follow Adolph Water Rich, exactly what do I do. I would appreciate it if you would keep it really simple, because I am really dense with this kind of thing.

Perhaps you can help with the following general sections:

1) If I am thinking of an article on a particular topic is there somewhere I can go and find out if the topic is appropriate. You understand that I am not asking for pre approval or anything like that. For example I have a vaguely formed idea about an article on "Illinois Barns." This a a serious article, not just pretty pictures. To do it I would put together a group of scholars, exchange, information, read drafts, etc. I am willing to do this, but I don't want to waste the time and efforts of these people if the topic in general is for some reason (to local perhaps). Is there a place I can ask in advance?

2) If I want to put pictures in an article can I just put them in as part of the file and send it in, or is it more complicated. I im thinking her of mechanics, not copyright etc, which I think I understand.

3)I find there is a little nub of a statement on Arpin. I may try to expand it some to deal with the Jewish colony there. Any problems with this.

What you can do to help

Do searches on the following:

• Bonaventure Broderick
• Bishop Bonaventure Broderick
• Bonaventure Broderick gas station
• Cardinal Spellman Bonaventure Broderick

using your normal search engine. Then use this one:

• Scroggle a Google hidden search engine

Scroggle somehow ties into Google's search engine but masks your tracks. However, it forces registered ghits. I used it and Yahoo to force citations for Bianca Jagger. She had a 1981 death squad experience that was an ephinany. If you do the search at various times during the day, it will find and index hopefully more stories on him. Because this was all before 1950, online sources are presently very low available indexed. Searches will force indexing. --Morenooso (talk) 21:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Here is the URL for Bonaventure's bio which is in Spanish:

• Episcopologio de la Iglesia Católica en Cuba

You saw the translated version I left on the talkpage. I erased it because while it is a loose translation, I did not want problems with it. I will post the URL on the article in my userspace. He still isn't getting Yhits which is troublesome. Your book might be the only way to flesh out his article. Posting now on his article. --Morenooso (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Bonaventure Broderick is just about ready to be pushed out to mainstream unless you still want to edit a couple of sections. The sections that need to be fleshed out from your book are: Resignation, Impact of resignation and a new section called Later life and death. Hopefully the book tells why he resigned, what the impact was and how he became a gas station attendant, editor of the diocesan column and what his later duties were under Spellman to include death details (although catholic-hierarchy could be used for a one liner death statement. Still, the present reference #2 that I used to cite the WP:LEAD statement alludes to there was something more about his resignation and the impact on his life meaning that he chose to keep his vows in essence. If you could find a couple of one-liners in the library book and place them referenced in each section, I think it will be ready to pushed out. What do you think? BTW, Nyttend nominated Broderick's article using the hook I recommended. Hopefully, you will get a DYK out of it. --Morenooso (talk) 07:41, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Did the Vatican or his superiors ask him to resign or was it voluntary? Then, what happened? How did he end up as a gas station attendant? How did he come to editting a newspaper column? --Morenooso (talk) 14:49, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Where did he die? Cath-Hier is not clear as it just says he died with a title. --Morenooso (talk) 14:50, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

BTW, Broderick was an author. I remembered seeing a partial list of his books in a visual listing which was his first Yhit. Here it the listing: Books › "Bonaventure Finnbarr Broderick". There are four books listed and unfortuantely are out of print with no ISBN number. Do you want to add them? Supposedly he became quite the scholar of early Roman history while a student there. --Morenooso (talk) 00:49, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I would have mentioned Callistus is the grandson of a Tribal chief. How are you doing? I may pump out Bishop Manogue in the few days. It's on my userpage and you are free to edit it. You have a great set of eyes and editting ability. --Morenooso (talk) 17:21, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

So I'm kicking back? Sorry, I just got back from mowing one of the fourteen lawns that I mow each week :-) Thanks, RFD, for the congrats; I just discovered a book with sources on nearly all of Ohio's National Register sites, so I've taken a break from writing about most of these large Catholic churches (but not all of them; St. John's Catholic Church (Delphos, Ohio) is up for DYK) so that I can improve overall coverage. I'm waiting for nomination forms for several other churches to come in the mail; once those arrive, you should see articles on this, this, this, this, and this church. Nyttend (talk) 18:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

You probably are (kicking back). I also mentioned smoking a cigar on your back, inquired about getting my pants pressed and if you do windows?

And here I'm sitting on article number three. Man, I really feel like a slacker compared to you dudes. I wonder if hari-kari is messy? --Morenooso (talk) 22:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I have recovered from my wiki burnout-reverting too much vandalism.

BTW, do you know how to do blockquotes? On the O'Connell talkpage, I documented a URL that has a long quote from him. He doesn't get many Yhits. Plus, you would teach the pupil something I need to incorporate into my bag of tricks. Additionally I created User:Morenooso/Robert John Armstrong. He's the longest serving Sacramento bishop but yets does get many Yhits. --Morenooso (talk) 14:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Nyttend offered to move interwiki articles over to the English version if there is a burning one you know about. I would colloborate if asked. I was really touched when you came to me about McFarland. I had never created an article before and really doubted not only myself but my time available to create the article. And, it was a tricky one if you know what I mean. Morenooso (talk) 14:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

It amazes me that other wikis have articles on American bishops which the :en does not. I showed Onaga's to a friend and he say that is one of the few African bishops to not only have an article but picture to boot. Not that the Vatican would come to Wikipedia to see a picture of him but's it fairly notable that Onaga is a young bishop with a picture on English Wikipedia. --Morenooso (talk) 14:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Thomas John McDonnell

Ya gotta let me know when you create an article, master. I've done some work on Thomas John McDonnell. I have some more citations but need to get dressed for an event later this morning. I believe I can get it over 5300 bytes which would a 500% improvement over what you started (not that your great work is being exceeded). When this is done, maybe you could get Nyttend to nominate it for a DYK. I think that he said more high masses than succeeding to a bishop's see is somewhat the hook.

BTW, that was me. Umm, I thought of a better hook and will place the first part of it in the citation's ref. Basically one of the masses with 3,000 people said by TJM was covered in the NY Times sports section. The DYK hook: DYK, TJM said a mass for 3,000 people that was covered in the NY Times sport section? --Morenooso (talk) 14:10, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm done. I have one or two more facts but have to go. I asked Nyttend to nominate my teacher for DYK. --Morenooso (talk) 15:28, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note :-) I've recently gotten access to a book with details on most of Ohio's NRHP sites, so I've been trying to expand the state's coverage on WP with it a good deal.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 23:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Leander Clark

Glad to see someone paying attention to my little contribution, Leander Clark. I guess I'm not surprised that it was you (considering that he was a member of a Midwestern state legislature)! I'm interested to see that you added him to a "judges" category and that you categorized him under Iowa House of Representatives instead of leaving him in the more generic "General Assembly" category where I slotted him.

Regarding the judge category, I got the impression that he wasn't a judge in the modern sense, but in fact was a county executive (an office that formerly was often called "county judge"). What's your understanding of the situation (and of the category)?

As for the legislature, my guess is that you found a list that allowed you to figure out which house of the legislature he was in. If so, huzzah!!! --Orlady (talk) 00:48, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanations. I have found another biography that confirms your guess that he was a member of the Iowa House of Representatives. [13]

However, further research confirms my notion that a "county judge" in the early days of Iowa was not what we consider a judge -- and most definitely not a "state court judge" because it was a county position. This genealogy website refers to the county judge as "the one man power" of a county in the early years. The County Auditors Association says[14] that the elected position of county auditor dates from 1870, when the office of the County Auditor was created, including duties that had previously been given to the County Judge in 1851, in the first Code of Iowa, and then to the Clerk of Court in 1861. Leander Clark was county judge from 1857 to 1861 -- firmly in the "one man power" years when the judge was in charge of things like the county budget. Accordingly, I removed the "state court judges" category from the page. --Orlady (talk) 04:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Lanse, Michigan

I'm confused by your edit summary here; are you questioning whether Lanse, Michigan should redirect to L'Anse, Michigan, or do you mean something else? Nyttend (talk) 14:08, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. This page, and all of those like it, were taken from the pages deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of ZIP Codes in the United States by state; when they were deleted, I viewed the deleted text and copied over the relevant information. As far as I know, all of the names appear as they're used by the USPS website, so it's not my error. Anyone can see that there's a ZIP code assigned to "Lanse, Michigan", so it's quite possible that they'd be interested in it. If you go to http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp and type in 49946, you'll get a result of "LANSE, MI". Nyttend (talk) 20:23, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

RE: Articles

I meant to respond yesterday, but got busy with other things. I have never heard of Roeliep, but I have heard of Ettledorf and St. Joseph Prarie. I must admit I know very little about either and I don't don't have a great deal of information on hand concerning the Dubuque Archdiocese. I will however, see what I can come up with online. I want to finish up with the St. Ambrose University presidents, which were mostly written without references. I also have in mind to write an article on a Davenport priest with a national reputation on social justice work from the 1970s to the 1990s.

On another topic, I had initiated a page for Bishop Robert John Armstrong of Sacramento. Another person, User:Morenooso, came along and added significant amounts of information, which I have no trouble with, but he insists Armstrong was a Jesuit because he graduated from a Jesuit college. That would make me a Jesuit, but I'm not and never have been. I tried to change the article some time back, but he reversed it. There is no evidence that he belonged to the Jesuits, but there is plenty of evidence that he was a diocesan priest with Jesuit connections. Can anything be done? I tried to reason with him, but I don't want to get into a thing where we go back and fourth reversing the article. I think all he has are the intials "SJ" after Armstrong's name, but all the same it's incorrect. Farragutful (talk) 17:02, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Pilsen, Kansas

If you look at my user info, you can see that I grew up in Peabody, which is towards the southern end of Marion County, Kansas. I have been using wikipedia for years and have checked the wiki page for some of the towns in the area and noticed that not much had been done to them. About a month ago, I got a wild hair, and decided to start making changes and just dive in head first, which I have been causing some issues with User:Nyttend because I'm so green on editing wikipedia.

Since I grew up in the area, I'm well aware of the unincorporated communities and some ghost towns, so I filled them into the county block at the bottom of the page, if you haven't seen it, then expand out "Municipalities and communities of Marion County Kansas" at the bottom of the Pilsen, Kansas wiki. I created the Antelope / Aulne / Canada / Eastshore wiki pages and reformat Pilsen to be similar to those.

I am currently touching over two dozen cities and unincorp's of Marion County and some towns near the borders of it. I'm just plugging away as I find useful information to add to each one.

It would be extremely helpful for someone to write up the Pilsen, Kansas history. Yes, I know it isn't easy, because there isn't a lot of information on the internet. I'm not wanting to step on any toes, so do what ya want to the Pilsen wiki, and if I do something stupid, please let me know. Sbmeirow (talk) 21:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Packard, Kentucky

I'm pretty sure it's a ghost town. The Geographic Names Information System still says it's an unincorporated community in its listing for Packard, but it has a reputation for being out-of-date in regard to these matters. Kentucky Place Names says it's abandoned, and that's more likely to be up-to-date on these matters than the GNIS. I wrote an article about Packard which should explain the whole thing. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 22:39, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Miami Station, Missouri

This one was trickier than usual. The GNIS lists Miami Station as a locale rather than a populated place, which usually means a place isn't actually a community but is occasionally a mistaken label for a community. It's included on the official Missouri highway map, though, so I think it's still an unincorporated community. It also once had a post office and is mentioned in at least two old gazetteers, so it should stand notability tests for settlements. The article once again explains most of that.

Wisconsin ZIP codes

Those communities were skipped over because they are secondary communities in a ZIP code and the primary communities already had articles. The list is considered complete when all primary communities have articles, so it can be hit-or-miss as to whether all the secondary communities do as well. I usually write articles on the secondary communities as well when completing a list, and I'll probably write articles on the remaining Wisconsin communities that you listed as well, but if the primary communities are incorporated or already have articles these can get skipped rather easily.

I was a huge fan and I would have written an article for DYK had I known he didn't have one. I'm shocked to see he was from Wisconsin. I suppose that's why I never thought he had an accent! I must have watched one of his last episodes because I hadn't know that he wasn't reporting anymore and I feel like I watched one recently.

I hope that you are doing well. I am. I've been so busy making it to tracks. I'm planning Oktoberfest races in LaCrosse.

You're correct in saying that it's part of Cleveland, rather than being unincorporated; only a couple of small portions of Cuyahoga County, both on the edges, are unincorporated, so this article is quite incorrect.

Rib Mountain - I'm confused

What is the Rib Mountain (CDP), Wisconsin article for? The community? Is it an unincorporated community? I have pictures of an entrance sign which says "Welcome to the Town of Rib Mountain" when I went to State Park Speedway in summer. It looks like a village-sized community. But the size doesn't mean much. Thanks for your help and I hope that you and your health are doing fine.

Right now I have about 350 images to upload. Some are Upper Michigan a few are Minnesota, but most are taken in Wisconsin. Royalbroil 04:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Interesting essay for removing names with questionable notability on city lists

I just found Wikipedia:Write the article first which perfectly explains why it's fair to remove redlinks when someone probably won't write an article. It's an essay making it a weak argument to use. But it's better than nothing. Royalbroil 12:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Is there in fact a policy that prohibits the inclusion of people on lists of "Notable people from ..." if there is no article about them? I have not seen such a policy, although you seem to be enforcing it. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 02:39, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

There don't need to be a policy, a guideline or even an essay to do something if it improves the encyclopedia. I understand the point behind redlinks; RFD & I have both been here from Wikipedia's earlier days where these redlinks were necessary because the topic wasn't written yet - which is less and less common now. But reading the redlink guideline, it suggests "editors are encouraged to write the article first" which links to this essay. Things have changed to the point where verifiability is a required policy for the encyclopedia to have merit. Why should anyone be able to add their non-notable garage band to a list of residents from a community? Royalbroil 03:20, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, I can frankly see both sides of it. (For some reason, I feel more strongly about including recent grad who were killed in these wars on their high schools' pages. What are your thoughts?) Let me go ask some friends of mine for their opinions. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 05:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I was giving my opinion in general. What is the specific article/diff that you're talking about? Royalbroil 07:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Forgive me, I was in a bout melancholia and was posting the names of some recent casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan to their high school pages. One young man did not seem to have graduated from high school and so I posted his name under notable people from Port Washington, Wisconsin. You took exception to the fellow’s notability. Your comments made me think and that is a sign I suspect you are right. Still, I have run it up the flag pole to ask some other people’s opinions. I suspect I will get some wise comments when the sun comes up in the US. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 07:52, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I found out it pays to wait to see how events unfolded for an individual who is notable. Warren Petryk ran for a Wisconsin State Assembly seat and barely won. I decided to wait on writing the article until the recount took place; once it took place and Petryk still won I only then wrote the article since his notability was determined by his election to the Assembly. This spares going through prod/afd, etc. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 12:25, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Yea, my uncle is the president of a nearby VFW and they buried a KIA in the past 5 years. As sad as dying for your country is, I don't think that act alone is necessarily considered notable enough to pass WP:NOTE because it's considered a WP:ONEEVENT. Checking out the next section below ONEEVENT (still under the people notability guidelines) called WP:NLIST, it speaks directly about how people should have verifiable notability before adding to a school list. As far as I've seen recently, it means they usually should have an article. The only except that I've seen is something like a list of hall of fame members, maybe racing series champions (I obviously work with a lot of racing articles), or something were all members in a group have strong notability but isn't popular with Wikipedian editors like Baja_1000#Notable_competitors. Royalbroil 13:00, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I suppose time for reflection is called for. Listing every graduate who dies in these wars seems reasonable to me. I admit that dying in Afghanistan does not make one 'notable' in your town, county or state. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 15:26, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Just a heads up

Don't be so quick to revert edits on an article when they might include dead categories, as you did on Greg Dean Schmitz. There is the possibility that they will be created. The reason I didn't create the categories is because I was going to get back to them. I'm actually going through and creating them now because I didn't want to distract from my main task at the time. I know it appears like I'm being mean, but you could've also created them and helped me out. What's done is done though and I don't hold any harsh feelings. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 19:19, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

It's okay, I'm more of a "I'll do it tomorrow..." Wikipedian. Of course, tomorrow could be three months from now but it usually gets done at some point. Good job with the creation of the category though. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:17, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Project tagging for American football players

RFD, I see you do a lot of project tagging for biography articles. When you come across an American football player, if would be awesome if you could tag the talk page with {{WikiProject National Football League}} if that person played or coached in the NFL and {{WikiProject College football}} if that person played or coached in the college ranks. Also, such articles should get a "|sports-work-group=yes" parameter in the {{WikiProject Biography}} tag. I've noticed a lot of biography articles with tags for {{WikiProject American football}}. That project is intended to cover core concepts of the game of American football like touchdown and, perhaps, biography articles for individuals who are notable for their participation in a league or level of play that does not have its own dedicated project. Thanks and happy Thanksgiving. Jweiss11 (talk) 16:44, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

I saw your recent edits on Howard Abbott. Thanks for tagging that one for WikiProject College football. I saw you also added Category:University of Michigan alumni and Category:University of Minnesota alumni to the article. I removed those two since Abbott is listed in Category:Michigan Wolverines football players and Category:Minnesota Golden Gophers football players, each a subcategory of one of those two alumni categories.

When Gary E. Johnson was gov, a news story about a polevaulter injuring his head came up. A few days later the NM legislature passed a bill requiring pole vaulters to wear helmets. Johnson, a pole vaulter in highschool, vetoed the bill. He did a LOT less, (and I hope he does a lot less as President).--S. Rich (talk) 13:37, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Arnold Aronson

I'm curious why you added WikiProject Chicago and WikiProject Massachusetts to Arnold Aronson's talk page. True, he was born in Boston and attended Harvard, but most of his career was spent in the Washington DC area. Chicago? OK, he earned an MSW at the University of Chicago. Is that really enough to draw the attention of a WikiProject? These seem to be marginal to his areas of notability. Would you care to clarify? Dwalls (talk) 16:05, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Steinbock

Thanks for correcting the Recent deaths entry for John Thomas Steinbock and bringing attention to the fact that he has an article already. I redirected John Steinbock and John T. Steinbock to this article, since I don't think there is anyone else notable with those names. I remember thinking it was odd that there wasn't an article on such a fairly well-known bishop when he got sick a few weeks ago and we started praying for him in my church, and I looked up the name John Steinbock.

We should start looking for other bishops whose articles are under their full names (first, middle and last name), without redirects to other variations of their name that people might use to look them up. We had a big problem with this in our coverage of US congressmen, which was finally fixed by a bot a couple years ago. Academic Challenger (talk) 07:43, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Eureka

Eureka is a census-designated place; see the second citation. It wasn't a CDP in 2000: searching for Eureka in Wisconsin at factfinder.census.gov takes me directly to the town, without asking me what I wanted, and such a question always appears if the search terms are ambiguous. However, according to the GNIS in citation #2, it was designated a CDP last June. The information in the Demographics section is for the ZCTA for Eureka's ZIP code; it needs to be reworded to clarify the nature of the entity reflected by the statistics. That being said, we need to rename both articles: Eureka, Wisconsin needs to go to Eureka, Polk County, Wisconsin, while Eureka (CDP), Wisconsin needs to go to Eureka, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, since this is the procedure we pretty much always use when there are multiple communities of the same name in different counties. The use of (town) and (CDP) is to disambiguate when the two are in the same county. Nyttend (talk) 20:46, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

RFD, Thank You! Your understanding and patience with me is greatly appreciated. I felt lost in this foreign space of unfamiliar names and rules.

Art image requests

I noticed that you added an image request for a piece of art at Stratiformis (sculpture).

I hope I am not being impolite in intruding, but I think there could be some image that does not infringe copyright but is helpful to the reader, such as a photo of the area where the artwork is installed. Perhaps the photo request could be clarified. Jonathunder (talk) 03:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Nyttend

Nyttend periodically reverts my edits to US towns villages and communities citing "standard" and "that's the way we do it." without even looking at the WP:MOS. Recently the lead to Lucas, Wisconsin was reverted to a "standard" mode. I had gone out of my way to make sure that readers did not confuse town (settlement) with town (township), by using the official designation "Town of Lucas" etc. That confusion is what led IP editor 85.114.184.220, on 23 Feb. 2011, to think that the fact that there is a forest under this coordinates meant the coords were incorrect for the location of a town. (The IP edit did, however, call my attention to the question of the validity of the coords.) I'm addressing you, since my previous attempts to use generally accepted principles of the WP:MOS (in this case avoid ambiguity) to allow changes to Nyttend's "standards" have been unsuccessful. While Nyttend responds to my attempts at discussion, the result rests upon assertions of "standard" and "that's the way we do it." with the Census and Wikiproject examples being a "holy grail" rather than WP:MOS principles. While I would like to see the Lucas, Wisconsin lead made unambiguous, it is not likely to happen, absent more of my time than it is worth. More serious, however, is a recent reversion by Nyttend of changes to Template:McKinley County, New Mexico, in which Nyttend said that the Navajo nation was Not really a compact reservation of the type that we generally list on these templates. See discussion at Template talk:McKinley County, New Mexico#Navajo Nation. Thanks for you time. --Bejnar (talk) 18:49, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

More serious, however, is a recent reversion by Nyttend of changes to Template:McKinley County, New Mexico, in which Nyttend said that the Navajo nation was Not really a compact reservation of the type that we generally list on these templates.

Homer Dopp

Hi-I started a stub about Homer Dopp who was in the Wisconsin State Assembly. I had planned to this but kept putting it off. Please feel free to expanded it. There was no problem doing it-with the recent 2010 election in Wisconsin, articles about Wisconsin Legislatures were started. Thanks-RFD (talk) 16:22, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Nyttend

Nyttend periodically reverts my edits to US towns villages and communities citing "standard" and "that's the way we do it." without even looking at the WP:MOS. Recently the lead to Lucas, Wisconsin was reverted to a "standard" mode. I had gone out of my way to make sure that readers did not confuse town (settlement) with town (township), by using the official designation "Town of Lucas" etc. That confusion is what led IP editor 85.114.184.220, on 23 Feb. 2011, to think that the fact that there is a forest under this coordinates meant the coords were incorrect for the location of a town. (The IP edit did, however, call my attention to the question of the validity of the coords.) I'm addressing you, since my previous attempts to use generally accepted principles of the WP:MOS (in this case avoid ambiguity) to allow changes to Nyttend's "standards" have been unsuccessful. While Nyttend responds to my attempts at discussion, the result rests upon assertions of "standard" and "that's the way we do it." with the Census and Wikiproject examples being a "holy grail" rather than WP:MOS principles. While I would like to see the Lucas, Wisconsin lead made unambiguous, it is not likely to happen, absent more of my time than it is worth. More serious, however, is a recent reversion by Nyttend of changes to Template:McKinley County, New Mexico, in which Nyttend said that the Navajo nation was Not really a compact reservation of the type that we generally list on these templates.

Dan Kapanke

Many thanks for helping out with the Dan Kapanke article. Usually I would an entry from the Wisconsin Dictionary of History which is on the Wisconsin Historical Society website, However, there was no entries for Kapanke so I had to make do with the Wisconsin Blue Book. Thanks again-RFD (talk) 17:41, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

One comment-with articles about Wisconsin Legislators-I always try to introduce a citation from the Wisconsin Historical Society or the Wisconsin Blue Book itself. When these people leave office, their government issued web links become inoperable. Having citations from these types of sources is a good idea. I have done this with legislators from other states. Earl Eisenhower the younger brother of President Dwight Eisenhower is a good example. Earl Eisenhower was elected to the Illinois House of Representatuives for one term and I was able to find a biographical sketch of him in one of the Illinois Blue Books-Many thanks-RFD (talk) 11:38, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks to you also as we work with others in maintaining and improving Wikipedia. I've had the same experience with links for politicians who leave office. Their active information links often become "dead" after a time, leaving us only more permanent--and sometimes more limited--sources to back up Wikipedia entry information. Thankfully, some states are getting better at creating more thorough online databases of information on previous office holders as the Internet expands, although there is still a long way to go. I have noticed that Wisconsin lags on this, and finding information on previous legislators can sometimes be challenging.SWMNPoliSciProject (talk) 15:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

At least in Wisconsin 1) we have the Blue Books; and 2) they're all online. Try doing this with somebody like a Tennessee legislator, where no such resources exist, not even the sort of cumulative listing of all past legislators that Wisconsinites take for granted! --Orange Mike | Talk 20:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Pleasant Hill and related articles

I'm not sure what to do about Pleasant Hill. It's not listed in the GNIS, it's not marked on Wisconsin highway maps, and aside from mentions of a Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Washington County, I can't find any other sources to verify its existence. I hate to discourage a new editor, but it doesn't seem verifiable or notable, and if you have no objections I may nominate it for deletion. The rest of the editor's articles look OK after some cleanup, with the exception of Dheinsville, which is an odd case. It also appears to be a neighborhood, though the GNIS still lists it as an unincorporated community, and it may or may not be in a small section of the town of Germantown that wasn't annexed by the village. Even if it is a neighborhood it appears to be notable in its own right, so I'll clean it up and reference it when I have time (I've been rather busy with the 2010 census data lately).

You said you hate to discourage new editors, well congratulations...you did. I'm sorry I even joined now and I am taking this offensively and as an attack on me.

Greetings...I did look at Senator Nelson's entry. As I often do, once I start tinkering with an entry, I keep going for a while. I expanded your addition and also tried to re-format the entry as a whole so it is better organized. The entry needs further clean-up, referencing and expansion by anyone who wants to tackle it! The entry still says nothing about what he did as a state senator or as governor, and one could certainly expand on his service in the senate, his campaigns for re-election, etc. One of the ongoing challenges of Wikipedia is that there is always something to add or expand upon...indeed, the opportunities to add and develop are endless.

Notability of Bishops

Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I am however confused as to why Catholic Bishops should be or are considered notable. There is no mention in notability guidelines and there seems to me nothing in their role which would indicate that they should be treated in this way. Many Bishops perform their roles without gaining any notability except in their local area. If you can point me towards a policy or guideline on this I would be grateful. Thanks  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   22:48, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

They are known nationally as the highest in their field per WP:ANYBIO point #2. Right now I'm writing an article on a church on the National Register of Historic Places and I mention many of the bishops in the article. Since all bishops in world have the highest positions in their field, many independent reliable sources will exist for all bishops. Lots of readers are interested in the history and structure of major religions - so authors write books about it. If I ever found a bishop in any major religion come up at AFD, I would automatically give it a keep comment since I think they are inherently notable. Royalbroil 05:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

I think I could make a cogent case that Archbishops are the highest positions in their field. To date I can find no compelling policy that confirms any special position for Bishops in Wikipedia unless they have established notability; as with all other biographies.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:50, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Liberty Hill, Tennessee

The article Liberty Hill, Tennessee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is just one of 10 places named "Liberty Hill" that are listed in GNIS as populated places in Tennessee. The name does not appear on any of the maps I've consulted. The article appears to have been created based solely on the community name given in the NRIS database as the location of Liberty Hill School. No point in keeping articles about every dot on the map that once had a name.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Orlady (talk) 15:20, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar! Also, thanks for starting the article on Kickapoo Center; I've been meaning to write that one since I expanded Wisconsin Highway 131, and I added the community's history. I looked into Goerke's Corners, and since the GNIS and WisDOT both still use the name, I changed it to an unincorporated community. It's an odd community; it's completely surrounded by municipalities, but it was never incorporated or annexed. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 00:14, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Quinney, Wisconsin

I didn't start an article on the community because I wanted to spend time to determine what it got this name. It was part of the original Stockbridge Indian reservation in the town of Stockbridge, Wisconsin. I'm not able to determine who it's named after since there was a family of notable Quinney's from the area who were the leaders of the tribe. One option is Electa Quinney, the first public schoolteacher in Wisconsin (taught in Kaukauna). Another is John Wannuaucon Quinney, the tribal leader who is credited with originating the term "Native American". Maybe it is named after the family. I've been extremely busy with real life for the last week or 2 and I will be for more weeks. Hopefully I'll be some time to at least check my watchlist. In 1 week I'm going up U.S. Route 45 to Three Lakes, Wisconsin for a 3 day weekend so I'm anticipating more photos near Eagle River. Will you please research the origin of the community?

I respect ...222 because he did the research and arrived at what seemed like a logical conclusion. But this is rarely done by unregistered editors. By all means, rv unregistered editors when they have failed to fill in edit summary. 85% of the time, they are wrong/vandals. (Not the case here as it turns out). 222 should be encouraged to continue as editor IMO.

I confess, the 15% of the unregistered editors who are correct give me much pause. Usually have to do the research for them. But when you know your research is correct, please stick by your guns! Thanks! Student7 (talk) 16:09, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Buffalo Shore Estates, Wisconsin ??

I drove through the community on the way to ice races [17]. No, I wasn't lost to answer your question! That was the only route to get to campgrounds that hosted the races! I took a photograph of the signpost and it said "Buffalo Lake Estates". Do you have a second way to verify the name? Otherwise we should set up a redirect and try to figure out which name is more commonly used. I hope that you are feeling well! Royalbroil 13:13, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Your recent reversion of an edit

Howdy. I am curious why you made this reversion. If you follow the link the previous editor provided, and then click on the link under "Demographic profile from the 2010 Census", it appears the changes are valid.--Rockfang (talk) 12:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

hi! i've just seen the history edit, and your revert ("sources"). please be mild with the user who wrote the history text. i know him, he was raised in that town (and in Cobb, Wisconsin; similar revert) and is 87 years old now. i advised him to slowly approach wikipedia as an active contributor, and these were his first two large edits, and the third and fourth in total. i think he'll register soon, and once he's done it, pls welcome him. he's a wise man. thanks, Maximilian (talk) 08:59, 20 May 2012 (UTC) (germany)

Hi RFD,

Thanks for that. Cheers! -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 11:40, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Why was it reverted? (CW). The information was unsourced, it was nonsense, it was written poorly and it probably was a test edit! If it has now got references and is at a good standard, it is ok to have it on there, however, if it has just been replaced on there with no tweaks, re-revert it! .--Chip123456 (talk) 13:48, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

He Flys Utah

Thaniks for adding He Fklys Utah to the wikiproject. However, I have a question which I have already posed to Catalyst, someone placed a hoax tag on He Flys. I stated that NO, He Flys is real, He Flys has a GNIS entry, and the GNIS entry has a reference as well, from the county records for Utah, so, IMO, thats rather real and should not be classified as a hoax. IF it is inside of another entity, it should not matter because, that latter entity could have usurped He Flys which is very common. SO, my question is, WHY would a person state its a hoax, IF I give GNIS data with coordinated as a reference??Coal town guy (talk) 18:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi RFD. In your revert of my edit of the section Notable People in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, you noted that their notability has already been established.

IF I provided the GNIS data for their cemetery, do you have the data that would tell me, (apporoximately) where Juddville was in relation to the cemetery.

Knights of Divine Mercy

I won't push the removal of this article further, although I still think it's non-notable. The organization has only one chapter in a tiny out of the way place.

I have no problem with you expanding the article with information from neutral, reliable sources, but your addition of "In recent years, there has been inquiries about the group and chapters have been formed in Kentucky, North Dakota, and Wisconsin." is not only ungrammatical, but speculative, promotional, and contradicted by the organization's own website. For those reasons, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. When chapters actually have been formed, then it would be appropriate to add the info, but until then, it's WP:CRYSTAL. Mesconsing (talk) 16:32, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm not saying that your edit was not in good faith or that you were the one using the crystal ball.

Chinatown, Wisconsin

I was photographing near the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive last weekend and I drove on a road that I haven't traveled before and encountered Chinatown. I photographed the sign for the unincorporated community along with a few shots in the community. If you want to look it up on a map or google maps, it is located north of Dundee, Wisconsin by heading up the east side of Long Lake. You travel north on Division Rd, continuing north on Division Rd past the entrance to the Long Lake Recreation Area. The community has an official sign and it is located just north of Scenic Drive. Can you determine if it's in Fond du Lac or Sheboygan County? It looks very close to the border. Would you start an article for me to add images to? I looked for sources online and I didn't find much. Please reply here on your talk page. Royalbroil 04:11, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Chinatown isn't in the GNIS or on WisDOT maps, but it's on the map of the Kettle Moraine State Forest; apparently it's in Fond du Lac County. It can probably be added to the GNIS since it's marked on a map, so I put in a request for it to be added. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 08:03, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks-I look at the Delorme atlas and Chinatown is located in the town of Osceola according to the information given here. I check if any history books about Fond du Lac County mentions Chinatown.-RFD (talk) 11:22, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks-I wonder how many more unincorporated communities exist in Wisconsin that are not listed with GNIS or the Wisconsin Historical Society.-RFD (talk) 00:33, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Good question. I always buzz you when I photograph a community with no article. On a different topic, I photographed Taus, Wisconsin and I just uploaded the photographs now. I found a town garage building clearly labeled as from the town of Franklin. It's on downtown image on the lot in the left before the intersection - the lot with the orange snowplow blade (not visible because of the willow tree). Would you please verify that Taus is in the town of Cato not Franklin? Perhaps Taus was in Franklin in the past as the building looks from about the 1950s. Royalbroil 01:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

According to the official county highway map, it looks like it's in Franklin. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 03:23, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Harrison (community), Calumet County, Wisconsin

I have an old 1973 newspaper article on the short histories of small communities in Calumet County, Wisconsin. This article describes the location of the ghost town that was Harrison. I add a section on the new use of the name Harrison for another community. I know that you know that area too. Would you look it over and I'm hoping that you might know more to add to the article. Perhaps the coordinates for the community should be updated to the current community not the ghost town.

I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and that you are doing well! I haven't been here much because my internet has been down WAY too much. After no internet for almost a week (again!), I switched to a new ISP. It's rough to live in an area with horrible connectivity! Otherwise I'm doing good, waiting for ice to thicken on rivers and lakes in the area so I can see some ice racing! Royalbroil 06:11, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Chestnut Mound, Tennessee

The article Chestnut Mound, Tennessee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable unincorporated community. It needs more information.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Where DuBay lived

Thanks for paying attention to the John Baptiste DuBay article. One clarification: most references do say his homestead was "in Knowlton," but I actually do know that he was from just south of Knowlton in Portage County. It was T25N R7E, which I believe is the modern township of Dewey. Any suggestions as to how to correct this are welcome, but one key thing is that I think he should be categorized under People from Portage County, not people from Marathon County. You can either just make the changes yourself or advise me as to how I can correct it. LaurentianShield (talk) 00:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Caleb Barns/Barnes

Hi RFD,

Wonderful you are working on Caleb Barns. I have had a long-standing interest in one of his granddaughters, Cornelia Barns. I have added to that page. I even once interviewed his great-grandson about his mother. So maybe some of the material from Charles Edward Barns could be moved to that site. I had been thinking about the possibility.

I am a little perplexed as to how my article was released before I had even worked through a complete draft.

Maineshepp (talk) 18:57, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Got your message. Pleased that your looking into some of these details. I posted some queries on the talk page for Caleb P. Barns. Early life still a mystery.Maineshepp (talk) 19:39, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi RFD,

I've made some headway on Caleb P. Barns. His early life is still a mystery, although I have now gained several penpals in as many counties in New York, who have also turned up empty handed. His early association with James Jesse Strang a.k.a. Jesse James Strang has been rather fascinating. Didn't quite fit with my image of the man. But then, you have to check lots of sources on any of this research, as they tend to be incompatible. The Burlington Historical Society has been wonderful. I have never seen such complete documentation in a free online database.

Now that there is more of an outline, perhaps others will contribute. I want to look into his real estate acquisitions, as there may be some clues to his background and economic situation.

I also need to check the 1854/1855 term of office. Two sources indicate 1850 and 1855 as his terms, but I may need to seek more information to get that correct. Do you know?

Thanks for starting this.

Maineshepp (talk) 19:57, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Just received Caleb Barns Photo and posted it! Thanks for the info on the Blue Book and terms. I was surprised at the 1-year terms. I took a look and added it. Maineshepp (talk) 02:06, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

New editors

Thanks for your addition of welcome templates to new editors. I'm starting to be aware of a "coincidence" among several new editors of Wisconsin-related articles. They all are new editors. They all have redlinked usernames. They all have user names that start with a name and end with a number. They all contribute to the history sections of the articles. At least two of them inserted history sections at the end of the articles, rather than the beginning. They all either fail to cite sources, cite obscure sources, or vaguely cite the Wisconsin Historical Society. I'm not sure it's all a coincidence. All but one leave no edit summary. ... -- Mesconsing (talk) 14:08, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I doubt that problems will result; it quite obviously is unrelated to the fuss about the place in Europe, and even the most dedicated punish-Gibraltarpedia people shouldn't have something against a site in Wisconsin that's unrelated except for the name. Nyttend (talk) 02:12, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking of putting together an article on Brother Dutton, who worked in the Molokai leper colony with Father Damien. Do you think he's notable enough? [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] -- Mesconsing (talk) 18:17, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I completely missed the Joseph Dutton article. Shouldn't it be entitled "Brother Dutton," since that's how's he's known and always referred to? The Damien article is Father Damien, not Joseph Damien. -- Mesconsing (talk) 18:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Spring Prairie (community), Wisconsin

Would you please start an article on the community? It's located at the intersection of WIS11 and WIS120. The image in the town article (Spring Prairie, Wisconsin) is taken in the community when I last drove through it on the way to the final races at Lake Geneva Raceway in 2006. I drove through it again in the past month when I did a weekend getaway to rural Kenosha and Racine counties. I have hundreds of images to upload including more from the trip. I was fun to drive to some new cities/villages (new to me anyhow) like Elkhorn, Burlington, Palmyra, etc. It was nice to get that corner of the state. I haven't been in those 2 counties for probably a good decade. I'm about 1/2 done reviewing the images right now and renaming the ones that I'll upload.

I hope that you are well! Royalbroil 01:17, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I went ahead and did this one. It's funny, I probably know those two counties better than any others; I'm glad you liked them. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 02:11, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Visiting them; I don't really consider myself as "knowing" a place if I haven't actually been there. I go through them just about every time I'm in Wisconsin thanks to I-94, so I know everything in that part of the counties really well, though I've spent a fair amount of time in the western parts too.

Unhappy and irritated?

I saw your note to Orlady, and I am pretty much throwing my hands up in disbelief about this situation. Orlady is obviously a very immature person, and doesn't know what she is talking about insofar as counties are concerned. Perhaps you could give me some specific issues that you think are valid to respond to and I can answer them for you. As far as Orlady is concerned, she is very immature, and in the interest of peace and civility I am indefinitely refraining from responding to her nonsense. However the sniping on her part has continued. Please do address me specifically and directly. Please also keep in mind that annoyance is a choice. Greg Bard (talk) 16:05, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

I asked for some specific, substantive issues that I can address. "You are going too fast" is completely unhelpful. I can't read your mind, and how fast I go is none of anyone's business under any interpretation. I can't base my editing behavior on the psychological discomfort of others without any substantial meaningful criticism. At some point if I don't get any substantial criticism, I will have no choice but to dismiss your discomfort. Does that make sense? I'm sure you would feel the same way in the same situation. For my part, I am through responding to Orlady, and that is for the best. You see that I am reaching out to you in good faith, do you not? Please do offer some substantial criticism or consider that you may have none to offer. If you are just good buddies with Orlady, well that's fine, but loyalty only goes so far.

Thanks again for the edits on some of "my" articles. The latest was John Whelan Sterling, another subject that I was surprised no one had bothered to start an article yet. Since you are public about being Catholic, you may be interested in an edit I did to the article on Monstrances. I added Perrot's ostensorium, which to me is an utterly fascinating story. The fact that Nicolas Perrot bothered to have it made and brought it way up there in the far reaches of the Great Lakes, and the fact that it was 1686, is an astounding testament to the depth of the history of Wisconsin.

Legislator add

I added Bob Thomas tonight for August 10th. But while researching his terms of office to put on the list, I ran across something you might like to see. Its a publication by the State of Nevada for the Legislature and it includes info for every member of the Legislature since Nevada became a state.

Wisconsin Highway 35 closure?

Is Highway 35 still closed after the rock slides back early this summer? I'm looking at going to the LaCrosse Oktoberfest race on Oct 4/5. I'd love to drive the beautiful stretch between Praire du Chien and LaCrosse. Maybe more to the north too. Please answer here on your talk page. Royalbroil 12:03, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

I checked the Wisconsin Department of Transporatation website. Highway 35 will still be under repairs until late October. I am not sure about closing the highway.

Plat, Wisconsin

Plat is an unincorporated community in the village of Richfield, Washington County, Wisconsin, USA.

Raymond Leo Burke

I read your user page and saw that you started at WP after making his article. My wife works for our Catholic Church and before the last papal conclave, our pastor said to my wife that he would have liked Burke to be Pope.

After I heard this, I looked Burke up at Wikipedia. I saw he was from Richland Center, Wisconsin, and that community had quite a few notable people from it. So I created the 'People from Richland Center, Wisconsin' category and recategorized Burke's article and those for other people who are from Richland Center. That's when I started doing work on Wisconsin articles and creating more 'People from ??, Wisconsin' categories....William 14:56, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi William-I knew Cardinal Burke when he was assistant rector at my parish St. Joseph's Cathedral in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He also taught religion at my alma mater Aquinas High School. His article was one of the first articles I worked on when I started at Wikipedia. Several items had to added on. That is how I started at Wikipedia. I had to eased myself away from working on Cardinal Burke's article and the Aquinas High School article because of Wikipedia's guidelines on Conflict of Interest. Thanks William-RFD (talk) 15:08, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

I am sure you tried to adhere to NPOV on Burke and the high school article. Through my wife's work, she met now Cardinal Sean O'Malley when he was Bishop of Palm Beach.

About a year ago I created an article on Catello Manzi, whose a member of the harness racing hall of fame. 'Cat Man' was the #2 winningest driver in the sport at one time, he's 3rd or 4th now. Manzi and I are related(On the side of my father's mother. Don't know if its blood or by marriage. I last met him at my grandfather's funeral in 1976. My father, who owned race horses for a number of years, never had any of them with Catello.) Manzi's article wasn't a challenge because of possible COI issues, but because harness racing doesn't get so much press coverage and finding articles on its top horses and personalities is a challenge....William 15:52, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Modine Mfg and NRHP

I've been going through the unassessed articles for WikiProject National Register of Historic Places, and found Modine Manufacturing, whose talk page you marked with a WikiProject NRHP tag. I don't find anything in the article suggesting that a Modine property is listed in the Register, it's not linked from any of the NRHP-in-state list articles, and a Google search for (modine "national register of historic places") turns up nothing that sheds any light on this. Have I missed something, or did you accidentally include the WikiProject on the talk page as a cut-and-paste from another article? I've removed it for now; if I shouldn't have done so, could you restore it and add something to the article indicating why it's NRHP-relevant? Thanks. Ammodramus (talk) 17:11, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ron Lawfer

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 Ron Lawfer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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. 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, you can place a request here. JMHamo (talk) 17:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Daniel of Erie

The article Daniel of Erie has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Stephen Simpson--33rd U.S. Infantry?

Thanks for the recent update category at Stephen Simpson (writer). Lives of Eminent Philadelphians notes Stephen Simpson and elder George, an officer, both fought at New Orleans on Jan. 8, 1815 under Andrew Jackson; they were said to be in the only company to suffer casualties killed. Another source names the older brother as "George Simpson, Jr." not his father, the revolutionary war veteran.

A "George Simpson" served in the 33d Infantry of the War of 1812. See National Archives Discharge Certificates. Our own WP 33rd U.S. Infantry article disclaims any lineage between the War of 1812 33rd and the Civil War 33rd regiments and the modern 33rd which is discussed in the article.

Do you have any references or leads for the 33rd U.S. Infantry of the War of 1812? Family members often served in the same units at that time. I was hoping to find a more direct reference to Stephen Simpson in regimental enlisted rolls perhaps. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 12:42, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Asking for an opinion

Do you think a person who was a priest should be linked in a diocese template. The reason I'm asking is Leo Binz and his entry in the Diocese of Rockford template. He was ordained there. If Binz entry, then other bishops who were ordained in a diocese which has template should have an entry too. Please give me your thoughts....William 17:26, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi-I have no problems adding a priest to a diocesan template especially if the priest was ordained to the priesthood for the diocese or had some connection to the diocese being born and raised there. Solanus Casey was an excellent example. Fr. Casey was born and raised on a farm in Pierce County, Wisconsin in the Roman Catholic Diocese of La Crosse before he joined the Capuchin order. There was lots of coverage in the La Crosse diocesan newspaper about Fr. Casey since he is a candidate for canonization. As for Leo Binz I have no problems about he being added to the Rockford Diocesan template since he was ordained for the Rockford Diocese. I feel there should be some flexibility of who is to be added to the diocesan templates. Thanks-RFD (talk) 17:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Ok. Curiously the Diocese of Brooklyn, a big diocese has no template, but the Diocese of Palm Beach does. That's my home Diocese. Bishop of Palm Beach Gerald Barbarito would get a entry in a Brooklyn template because he's a former Auxiliary Bishop there. BTW I can't recall creating any templates....William 18:05, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I hope you're having a great holidays. Just came across a categorization problem involving Wisconsin and Minnesota. People articles that are categorized U of Minn law school alumni and the U of WI law school alumni (U of WI law Prof and blogger Ann Althouse and I have the same birthday- Jan 12. We traded a few emails back when I was an active blogger) are overcategorized. These people articles are also categorized in those schools general alumni category. That's over 500 articles. I've started work on MN alumni. If you want to go to work on WI alumni, you're welcome to it. I'll get to them eventually but I'm also working on my next ebooks that I will sell at Amazon. When my muse is fighting me, I work here. Wife is going to the Philippines tomorrow and I'll be alone for 22 days. She is from Tacloban and will be there when Pope Francis visits on January 17th. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year again. Reply back here....William 00:41, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife. I noticed the overcategorization at UW-Madison also. Someone graduating from University of Wisconsin Law School that is mentioned in the article and citations but no mention about graduating from UW-Madison. On the hand someone received his or her bachelors degree from UW-Madison and then receives law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School. In that case both categories should be kept if mentioned in the article and the citations. A Wisconsin state legislator graduates from UW-Madison and then received law degree from UW Law School-both categories should be kept if mentioned in the article and supported by the citation. I hope your wife has a nice time in the Philippines. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 10:53, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Reply re: Alaska articles

Thanks. One of these days, I just may have the opportunity to get back to real content building again, instead of being tied up with bully board drama and the like. Just a few things:

• The Zieglers' middle name is Holton, not Horton.
• A. H. Ziegler begins with Adolph Horton "A.H." Ziegler. This may lead people to believe that "A.H." is his nickname, when in fact, it was fairly common up until the middle of the 20th century for people to be commonly known by only their initials.
• Walker served an additional term in the territorial Senate beyond what you listed in the article. This period is arguably the pinnacle of his notability. During his tenure in the Senate, he became friends with the new territorial governor, Ernest Gruening. Sometime during the mid-to-late 1940s, Gruening and Walker had a bitter split and subsequent feud over Gruening's plans to overhaul the territory's tax structure. Walker lost reelection in 1948, largely as a result of Gruening campaigning against him. Claus Naske wrote about this affair in some detail. I haven't checked lately to see if any of his works can be found on Google Books, and I'm still in the process of retrieving the remainder of my library from storage, so I can't offer specific cites right now.

Ideally, the NRHP listing articles should be merged into these articles. Unfortunately, I've been going back and forth with the NRHP crowd on this issue for perhaps 3 or 4 years. Most of them believe that the inherent notability of a NRHP listing is sufficient justification to create thousands upon thousands upon thousands of permastubs which few people other than NRHP enthusiasts will really ever pay much attention to. Any logical merging of content has largely been resisted, often for no real reason. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 23:54, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

One more thing. I read the NRHP nomination documentation for the Ziegler House prior to the article's creation. Of course, as you should have realized already, I was quite familiar with the Ziegler family beforehand. It's totally unclear to me what association Bob Ziegler had with the house as an adult, which is an impression people may have by reading these articles. Throughout his legislative career, he listed his residence address as 307 Bawden Street, which is several blocks down the hill. His law office may have been located at the Bawden Street address as well, as that is a lot closer to Ketchikan's central business district than the other place. That may be something which needs to be hashed out by the NRHP crowd, though. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 00:42, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

June 2014

Skstmartin (talk) 20:12, 15 June 2014 (UTC) I need some help getting this article (on Gideon Hollister Pond) into the correct format. Can you tell me the next step?

Bob Bettisworth and legislative terms

The article looks fine as it currently stands, as it certainly covers enough bases given its length. One thing which may be more of local interest, but I thought I would point out: he married into the Hering family, who have lived in Fairbanks since 1904. This means that he was the uncle of Ralph Beistline. He may also have been the uncle of Daniel Winfree, but I haven't quite figured that one out yet. Also, his (adopted) son Charles is currently a prominent member of the local business community.

As for Governor Walker's press release: the legislature recently revamped its website, including profiles and biographical information on past members, most of which was taken from the centennial celebration website launched two years ago. There was a glitch on the main website when launched, wherein EVERY past member was shown as having served from 1957 to 1958. I've had lingering doubts about Walker and certainly didn't vote for him. Regardless of that, for someone in his office to simply copy over what was found on the legislative website and throw it out there in a press release without any further fact-checking speaks volumes; I mean, after all, the Roster of Members has been published biennially for nearly a half century. Additionally, both the Legislative Affairs Agency and the Alaska State Library are less than two blocks away from the capitol building; of course, telephones and e-mail eliminate the need to even walk over to either place. Now I noticed that the glitch has been fixed; someone must have pointed out how foolish it made Walker look to have made such an error. The biographical information on the website isn't nearly as error-ridden as the Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress, but there are some pretty grievous errors that I've brought to their attention which haven't been fixed.

On the length of terms, I previously mentioned the Ernest Gruening/Doc Walker feud. After Gruening succeeded in having Walker and a host of others turned out of office in the 1948 election, he called a special session early in 1949, prior to the start of the regular session, with the members of the new legislature who hadn't been sworn in yet. This was to ensure passage of his tax reform regime; naturally, this wound up in court. The court (I'm pretty sure the United States territorial court for the territory, but I could be wrong) ruled at that time that the legislature has a life of approximately two years, and that members serve until the next legislature is sworn in. This has been the prevailing standard ever since. There may actually be a statute explicitly stating that members serve until the next legislature is sworn in, but I don't remember. So, whatever is being put on the legislative website, or in news stories, obituaries or anything else, contradicts that fact. In the early years of Alaska's conflict of interest law, it was common for lame-duck legislators to resign their office after the legislature adjourned sine die, especially if the member was self-employed. References to such in the Roster of Members may be incomplete, and it's unclear as to whether that was the case with Bettisworth. So, in summary, differences in dates can probably be attributed to lazy research, which abounds nowadays. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 05:04, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Templates for warnings?

Hello RFD. I was just wondering if there's a reason why you don't use templates to warn users (such as at here)? Not that it's overly a big problem, and I'd prefer a personal message myself anyway, but programs like Huggle use existing templates on the page to gauge how many times the user has been warned, so hand crafted messages fly under the radar.  DiscantX 19:41, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Tip

Hi, RFD. I saw your helpful addition of refs at North Freedom, Wisconsin and was able to improve on the formatting with the semi-automated Citation tool for Google Books. If you weren't aware of this tool now you know. Citation tool for Google Books automatically adds title, author, publisher, ISBN, page numbers, etc. All you have to do is copy and paste the URL from Google Books.

In this case, I copied and pasted the title (An American Dissenter: The Life of Algie Martin Simons 1870--1950) into google.com, and clicked on the "more" tab in the search results to get to Books. Since there is a preview available, I was able to go directly to page 2 and read about Algie Martin Simons. Next I clicked on the (bowtie?) button next to "Add to my library" and it gave me the URL to page 2 of that book. Copy and paste the URL into the Citation tool for Google Books and it instantly generates a finished reference you can add directly to Wikipedia.

I really can't say enough good things about the citation tool and think you will agree.– Gilliam (talk) 14:27, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Re: Wisconsin legislators

It's not all the old ones, nor all the new ones, there are times when it now seems to me that it's appropriate or necessary and others not. Sometimes I think I might have been overdoing it. Packerfansam (talk) 05:32, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

There is simply no justification for this spree of yours. It's a long-established principle that a politician's political party affiliation is a vital part of the article about them. In some of the cases you cut out, it was one of the very few actual facts in the article besides name, town and office(s) held! You were way overdoing it, and any such changes in the future will be swiftly reverted. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:25, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Notable people

Basically I'm "fixing" the Notable people sections because they drive me crazy. There seem to be no criteria for who's included - those born there but who moved when they were three months old might be included, as might those who attended college there, those who died in car accident there, those who worked there for six months, and so on. It all seems pretty ridiculous and trivial. I don't see these kinds of sections in articles about cities in other countries. York, Bristol, and Kraków, for example, are all Good articles, and none has a Notable people section. It's just boosterism, and unencyclopedic in my mind. 32.218.47.68 (talk) 16:57, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Godfrey Mdimi Mhogolo

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 Godfrey Mdimi Mhogolo 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.episcopalcafe.com/tanzania_mourns_death_of_bishop_godfrey_mdimi_mhogolo/. 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.

Catholic Diocese article

I wanted to ask your opinion about something. I know that you've been involved with editing Catholic-related articles, in Wisconsin.

Currently I have a discussion going on the talk page for the article about the Roman Catholic Diocese of Superior.

I added some relevant information to the page, which was reverted by a non-registered user (potentially a vandal, but I'm not sure). And I was just wondering if you had an opinion about weather the article should be reverted back to my edit. Just wondering what your thoughts might be. Thanks. Billertl (talk) 16:41, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Missing judges

Thanks for creating Henry R. Horsey. If you are interested in state supreme court justices, we have hundreds of drafts initiated at Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/United States judges and justices. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

J. Fred Johnson, Jr.

I have a problem. The article's only source is a obituary which fails WP:RS. I tried looking through political graveyard both under Fred Johnson and J. Johnson, but unless I'm mistaken there is nobody there by that name with a connection to Chattanooga. Is there another source for this person?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:13, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Ways to improve Bernard Esser

Hi, I'm ThePlatypusofDoom. RFD, thanks for creating Bernard Esser!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This doesn't seem notable, as a local Treasurer doesn't normally meet notability requirements. This is a tiny town that he held office in.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 23:26, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

An old edit

Hello. Sorry to dredge up a year-old edit, but in this edit to Frederic, Wisconsin, in addition to moving text, you changed the name of the university president and the university with which he was affiliated. Was this intentional? Do you have a source for this information? I'm just puzzled by the whole thing. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:09, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Quintin E. Primo, Jr.

Could you explain why that person is notable? I'd presume you know notability is not inherited since you've been around for a while. There's nothing in WP:NBIO that says "Episcopal Bishops are notable". It seems strange to me that someone is notable just because of that, I'd expect WP:GNG to still apply. Or is the article in that state because nobody bothered expanding and sourcing it? nyuszika7h (talk) 18:51, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Tagging

Hi RFD! Thanks for being so diligent with tagging articles with WikiProjects. I do have one request though: when you tag an article with a new WikiProject banner, can you please assess its class at the very least? I.e. if other WikiProjects have tagged the article as a stub, when you add a new WikiProject banner you should add |class=stub. For example, a new WP:PACKERS banner would look like {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers|class=stub}} instead of just {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}}. When you add a banner without a class, it gets added to a maintenance category (such as Category:Unassessed Green Bay Packers articles), and then other editors have to go in and update the class. Here is an example of what I am talking about: you adding a WikiProject banner and then me assessing its class. Hope this makes sense, let me know if you have any questions.

Bloxham, Florida

Are you interested to do an article on this unincorporated community? I recently took a photograph of its sign. Thanks RoyalbroilAlt 17:33, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! It was exciting to spend a week in the warm Florida Panhandle during January. I sure was better than the ice storm that I missed (had I been in Wisconsin)! Royalbroil 02:30, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

I have another one, this time a sign for Oak Grove, Florida. It's located on U.S. Route 90 which I rode between Tallahassee and Chattahoochee. Here's an image of the sign. I'd start these articles myself but I have probably 1000 images to upload that I took on trips around the USA to upload. I just got done with a trip to Glacier National Park from 2013. I still have a trip across 2014 Canada to ME/NH/VT/NH, a 2015 trip to Memphis/Little Rock, and 2016 Yellowstone. Ugh. Now is the small window of time to do it between the ice racing and the summer season. RoyalbroilAlt 17:24, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! Would you please create a disambiguation page for all of the Oak Grove, Florida articles (or I suppose a redirect to Oak Grove would suffice)?

I found another group of photographs to upload. I went to LaCrosse Fairground Speedway's Oktoberfest Friday race last October and I traveled up the Mississippi River on the following day to Balsam Lake. I have 110 photograph in the Interstate State Park / Balsam Lake / Rice Lake / eastward vicinity which hadn't been photographed by anyone before - so it's time to improve Wisconsin community articles! While on that trip, I drove past Mississippi Thunder Speedway (across the Mississippi River from Winona on the Great River Road) and I saw that they had a special race on that same weekend, so I'm planning to come to it this October. There were race cars camping there from the night before so I checked it out (at about 9 a.m. - long before the Saturday show started). It's an excellent facility that I want to attend.

Somers, Wisconsin

The Somers, Wisconsin article says that it is both a village and a town. Of course, a jurisdiction can't be both simultaneously, so I looked into the matter. It turns out that part of the Town of Somers incorporated as a village in 2015, with part remaining as a town. (See: [49], [50] .)

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made a change to an article, St. Ignatius College Prep, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!

Hi-I removed the link about St Ignatius College Prep from the Peter M. Callan article.

Remove derogatory lines from Nair page

As per Wikipedia editors, they never consider the details of Raj era. Then may I know why derogatory information such as Polygamy, Hypergamy, Thallikettu kalyanam, sambandham etc are included in the page. Those were practices of Raj era. Take Wikipedia serious. Its not a place to put your views and suggestions. Either go with the rule that no old Raj era customs will be included or take consensus from other editors and add non derogatory customs and prides of these caste and elaborate the page. Apparently it look like few has taken the control of few pages like Nair, Ezhava etc and I have seen you using derogatory statements in Ezhava as well.

Remove below derogatory line in Nair article. ""These people were then distinguished from others in the local population by their occupation as protectors, with the others all being classed as out-caste. Pullapilly describes that this meant they "... were given kshatriya functions, but only shudra status. Thus originated the Nairs.""

Per my comments on the user's talk page-I know nothing about the subject material. I did posted a welcome to Wikipedia template of which I do for new users to Wikipedia. Thank you-RFD (talk) 11:45, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Help Needed

You must be an experienced editor, how can I get help from Wikipedia to report a derogatory statement in an article. Few editors has blocked the edit of the page which has the derogatory statement. How can I report it, does Wikipedia has a group admin or a responsible contact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbrahamPP (talk • contribs) 11:49, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Newspaper Access

Hey, I have looked at some of your article creations and I do not have access to whatever newspaper search you use. Is it free and if so what is the name? If it is not free, may I, within reason, ask you to help find obituaries? I have a lot of content for the first African American woman to serve in the Illinois House (Floy Clements). However, after her 1960 resignation, I cannot find anything. According to FindAGrave, she may have died in Pittsburgh in 1989 (here). I am basing this on the fact that is the only grave for which I can find a Florence/Flora/Floy Clements who was born in 1909. I completely get if you cannot do this, but I figure I'd ask.

Categories-alphabetical order

Hello RFD. Thank you for your comment. I am only changing to first names where the surname is the same as family name in question. I am surprised by your rather bald assertion that the name: "should be kept alphabetically with their surnames." There is a great deal of precedent across the system that runs contrary to this: in starting the exercise I found that well over half of such family categories are already organised as I bene doing and it seems to go against simple common sense in the specific instance. It seems to make rather a nonsense of the alphabetical system to do anything else, quite apart from the obvious fact that it fails to recognises fails to critical differentiating point in the specific instance.

New articles on Alaska politicians

Hi, you left me a note about Eileen MacLean. Sorry for the late reply, I'm just catching up with things. The following article on Walt Furnace was of greater interest, as he's supposed to be back in town next week for an African-American summit held in honor of Bettye Davis. I checked out the History Makers site. From what I can tell, based on who they profile and don't profile as notable African-Americans in Alaska, they're affiliated with a specific movement. This sends out a red flag inasfar as neutrality goes. Anyway, obviously you create these articles according to a specific template, which may have the effect of not necessarily reflecting what's notable. In the case of Furnace, you mention Gambell Street Business School. I've heard of this school before, but I doubt that it was ever in existence during any time I've been here (I first came to Anchorage in 1977) or whether it's really notable enough to mention. My guess is that it was an ad-hoc sort of thing which fell by the wayside once accreditation for a certificate or degree became a lot more important than a basic education. The article also says that he graduated from UAA in 1972, except that UAA didn't exist as such in 1972. That's not the only article which is guilty of that sin. In his case, it's far more relevant to mention that he left the House to run unsuccessfully for the Senate in 1990, that he was succeeded by Davis (who herself went from the school board to the House, as did Josh Wright many years before Furnace) and that he later returned to Texas and to the banking industry. His school board tenure caught the attention of Ebony or Jet or similar publication at the time. There was also a piece in Reason focusing on his friendship/mentorship of Andre Marrou during his second term, which was Marrou's sole term in the House. Hope this helps.

Your reply seemed to be more concerned with Tara Sweeney and the fact that it's up for DYK. As DYKNs are now included as part of article alerts pages, I was already aware of that. I am no fan of DYKs whatsoever but did leave comments in that case. Basically, the article and sources I read are little removed from a series of press releases related to her confirmation to her current position, and leave out other notable aspects of her life and other reliable sources which have covered those events and other things in her life. Basically, it's violating the spirit of WP:BLP1E even if it isn't violating the letter, not a good thing when another editor approved it on the basis that it was "neutral". The MacLean article comes across like a WP:COATRACK, as if to suggest that Sweeney is suddenly more notable and that this assessment is being made based on job titles and not on accomplishments. Speaking of that, then there's the matter of not even acknowledging Roy Ahmaogak by name, as if to totally bury his notability just because its basis occurred quite a number of decades ago. Understanding these sort of things goes a long way towards making the difference between a site that serves as a comprehensive information resource and a site which lazily parrots trending topics and tries to pawn them off as the former. Take care. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 02:45, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Cambium (NASD:CMBM)

RFD: Think it makes sense to redirect the Motorola Canopy and Cambium Networks (blanked in 2016) pages to Cambium (company)?

The public company is at Cambium (company) and Cambium Networks is the original name, which blanked in Feb 2016 according to the deletion log. Four years ago, it looks like it didn't meet WP:NOTABILITY at the time; an issue long since resolved. Ticker sumbol is CMBM.

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Re:Good Faith

So it's not showing good faith to hope that Wikipedia's articles are accurate? It's poor faith to want articles to meet the basic notability standard of there being coverage of the topic? It's poor faith to be concerned that when people mass-produce perma-stubs, it introduces errors without actually improving the project or informing the reader? I know you did make these one-liners in good faith, but this nonsense of "You can use the various state highway maps and topozone.com maps to located these communities" goes against WP:NGEO: "This guideline specifically excludes maps and various tables from consideration when establishing topic notability, because these sources often establish little except the existence of the subject." Let's go over a few problems with relying on simply maps and a database of map names, which I hope you don't consider to be "not showing good faith" for pointing out and wanting deleted or merged:

• Coffee Pot Landing, Minnesota is not "an unincorporated community", it's [https://www.topozone.com/minnesota/clearwater-mn/city/coffee-pot-landing/ a landing spot on the river, denoted in the same typeface as "Gravel pit"
• Good Hope, Louisiana evolved into Norco, Louisiana and its oil refineries
• Thumpertown Beach, Massachusetts is one of several beaches, as shown on the linked map, not a village.
• West Junction, Illinois is not a community, it's the the railroad junction west of the city
• Cox Beach, Alabama is a river beach area/fishing spot within Satsuma, Alabama
• Lake Elysian, Minnesota refers to the lake and is not the site of any community, though the coordinate is within Elysian Township, Le Sueur County, Minnesota
• Galena, Washington is not a community: the topo map indicates it's a "site" and USGS as a locale, likely a former mine site
• Post Oak Farms, Tennessee is a farm in Postoak, Tennessee, not a separate place
• Old Milwaukee West Colonia, Texas and Old Milwaukee East Colonia, Texas are among the thousands of unofficial colonia subdivisions that are not automatically notable
• Indian Mound Village, Florida is a partially-built commercial housing development
• Mouser Place, New Mexico is no community
• Vienna Junction, Montmorency County, Michigan is a former railroad junction at Lewiston, Michigan

Wikipedia does not "serve as a gazetteer", though it does "contain features" of one, which does not mandate individual articles of every named entity on the planet. I welcome actual articles on actual towns and villages, but not every "populated place" in the GNIS or on a map is actually such, is automatically notable, or needs a one-line article rather than mention in a main article.

Dashes

Hi! Thanks for helping with the categories at Lisa Martin (political scientist) with this edit. I have always struggled to understand the subtleties of the different types of dashes that are used in a shocking number of different ways on Wikipedia, and I wanted to ask a question about the functional difference there. [[Category:University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty]] directs to the same place as [[Category:University of Wisconsin–Madison faculty]], it's not like the "–" symbol can get deprecated, I don't know of any browser/language compatibility issues with that symbol, and I can't find any MoS entry or discussion that differentiates between – and – (in fact, I know that "–" is used by default in broad use cases, like in the "pages" variable of some citation templates). So should I be using – rather than –? If so, why and when? Thanks! - Astrophobe (talk) 23:35, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

RFD, I've notice you tagging the talk pages for some new American football biography articles, e.g. Talk:Jim McCarthy (American football). Note that these biography articles should be tagged for WikiProject College football and WikiProject National Football League, where appropriate, and generally not for Wikipedia:WikiProject American football, who's scope is "...primarily with strategic aspects of football; articles on specific leagues, players, teams, and games should be in the scope of other projects, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League and Wikipedia:WikiProject College football".

Hello, I noticed that you added several recent articles about mass transit lines to Project Minnesota. One example is Marshall Heights Line, among several others. All of these are actually in Washington DC and merely involve a street in that city called Minnesota Avenue.

Chvala

Pls be more careful. In edits to Charles Chvala, you reverted corrections to his service. He declined to seek reelection in Nov 2004, for obvious reasons, and left the senate in January 2005. "Chvala led Senate Democrats from 1995 to 2002 and unsuccessfully ran for governor in 1994. He did not run for re-election in 2004." Source WondermentDaily (talk) 15:25, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Midway, Caldwell County, Kentucky

The article Midway, Caldwell County, Kentucky has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Rennick's index calls it a locale (geography), whose definition is exclusive from that of what passes WP:GEOLAND. Topos show the name Midway on the site, but the only things I've been able to bring up from Google Books, Google search, or newspapers.com is one reference to a detour being near Midway and some hits for a Midway church, which the topos show down the road. With a source calling it a locale, and no significant coverage, this doesn't look likely to pass WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Socrates Nelson citation

Hey, RFD. I happened upon the article you created, Socrates Nelson. I wanted to know if you remembered which volume of the Minnesota Historical Society Collections this information was in. Essentially, as best I can gather, this 2010 book was a reprint of a volume of collections; there were over a dozen volumes written from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.

I did find a mention of him in one of the collections (the original book, not a reprint). I'll let you have a look at it and see if it's the same one you cited. I assume it is, but I could be mistaken.

• Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society: Minnesota Biographies 1655–1912. Vol. XIV. St. Paul, MN: Minnesota Historical Society. June 1912. p. 543–544. Retrieved December 21, 2020.

Socrates Nelson

Hi again, RFD. I wanted to update you a bit on the article Socrates Nelson, because this article wouldn't exist without you. Over the course of the past few days, I've been making substantial edits to the article, facilitated in large part by the digital newspaper archives of the Minnesota Historical Society and by a 2002 study prepared for the City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Committee. I'm continuing to work on the article as I write this, mostly to expand upon his dealings in real estate speculation and to make the prose less reflective of my bland-as-stale-bread narrative style (in the latter regard, I feel the first paragraph of the first section has been adequately fixed). I believe the article is approaching a state that could be considered basically complete, although I've wrongfully said that to myself a few times already, so who knows? I've also emailed the Minnesota Historical Society in hopes of finding a picture of him, as I don't believe one exists online, though I'm not holding my breath. (If they don't have anything, I may contact the Stillwater Public Library.)

Furthermore, I've asked Kingsif (I don't mean for this to ping you, but I know it will, so hi!) to review the article, and they agreed. I really don't know what the article is going to look like when they review it, but I'm confident that at some point, I'll stagger and stumble my way into something resembling a good article. My end goal for this has now become making it good enough to be featured, but this poor article isn't ready for that level of scrutiny yet. Because of that, I'm hoping Kingsif (howdy!) doesn't pull any punches so the article can become the best it can be. Until that time, however, and especially over the coming days, I'm going to do my best to improve it.

PS: You're more than welcome to show off on your userpage with a {{DYK user topicon}}. You were rightfully credited in the nomination, and by taking the intiative to create this article in the first place, you earned it just as much as I did. Best regards.

Long time, no see

Hey, RFD. I coincidentally ran into another two of your articles, namely Dennis J. Collins and John W. Lewis Jr.. I'd say I'd get carried away with these like I did with Socrates Nelson, but unfortunately, they don't have such unique names like Nelson's that it's probably not going to be easy to find such detailed information on them. Nevertheless, I gave DJC an infobox, so that's hopefully a start to getting way too invested in these. All the best. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 04:15, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Buffalo Valley, Tennessee

The page Buffalo Valley, Tennessee has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguated only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ended in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguated zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• was a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that did not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review Liz <sup>Read!

WP:STUBSPACING

Hi there. I previously wrote to you about this about a month ago. Please be aware of WP:STUBSPACING which states: "Leave two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it." Other editors have been fixing this, I did most recently at Marshall W. Moore and Bill Miller (North Carolina politician). Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 13:38, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Please keep this in mind. Robby.is.on (talk) 12:40, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for writing the stub for Carroll Ketchum. He was a friend and I miss him. Jessamyn (my talk page) 18:38, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Celia Kaye and Missouri?

Since she was only born in Missouri but grew up in Delaware, are the Missouri category and project tags appropriate, or should I change them to Delaware or just add Delaware so she's in both areas? I don't do a lot of categorization, so I'll defer to your experience. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

MOS:OVERLINK and WP:STUBSPACING

Hi. I'm pretty sure I previously messaged you about this but these issues still show in newer articles you have created like Hilton Forrest Deakin:

• MOS:OVERLINK: Countries like "Australia" should not be linked.
• WP:STUBSPACING: "Leave two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it."

These issues are trivial but it becomes tiresome having to fix them for every article you create and you seem to create a lot.

Proposed deletion of Braxton, West Virginia

The article Braxton, West Virginia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No clear evidence that this is an unincorporated community but rather the name of a county. When looking up the coordinates - it's not pulling up any settlement or inhabited area. References show the county, not an actual community of Braxton but refer to Braxton County, West Virginia

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Old Milwaukee (disambiguation)

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 Old Milwaukee (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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.
