History of New Jersey edit

Self-nomination. Having undergone rigorous efforts by Wikiproject New Jersey and through US Collaboration of the Week, the article has been improved, referenced, and made more thorough. Hopefully, this article can be brought to make FA status. All comments, feedback, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, AndyZ 01:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's the Manual of Style for references? On the second paragraph of the introduction, it says "United States of America ^[1]" (with a space then the link to the end-note). But on the last sentence of the first paragraph on Prehistory, it says "as well as many rivers, swamps, and gorges^[2]." With no space. Of course, it's just something very minor, so no need for a big deal. Everything else seems A-OK. ^KILO-_LIMA 13:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input; I have changed it all so that they all have spaces. AndyZ 15:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I don't put a space between them; just put it right after the word or punctuation mark. That way they'll never be separated—it'd look bad if the line wrapped after the word but before the citation, knocking the citation to the beginning of the next line. --Spangineer (háblame) 19:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion, once or twice the citation did get knocked to the beginning of the next line. I have removed all of the spaces. AndyZ 20:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can the Anthrax attacks section be expanded a little bit more. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 20:51, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded it a slight bit, since the {{details}} is provided. Is there anything particular that should be added into the section? I was even considering merging it into the 9/11 attacks section and renaming the section as Terrorist attacks or something like that. AndyZ 22:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like the merging idea and went ahead with it. I renamed the section. If you feel like it needs to be changed further, then go ahead. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 23:43, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright tags need to be updated for the following images.

~~Image:MollyPitcher.jpg~~
~~Image:Riots.jpg~~ (removed off page)
~~Image:SenatorJonCorzine.jpg~~ --21:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
~~Image:HollandTunnelNYNJboarder.JPG - (i will take care of this one, because i'm the uploader)~~-01:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty to contact the uploaders of the image and ask them to fix the tags, but if someone else wants to go ahead and fix them up, be my guest.--ZeWrestler ^Talk 00:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for updating the holland tunnel image tag. I changed the section title to simply ~~9/11 and other terrorist attacks~~ just to shorten the heading. AndyZ 01:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC) Now it is just Terrorist attacks. AndyZ 00:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The MollyPitcher image had its copyright tag updated, but i'm uncertain if the uploader changed it to the correct tag, may someone double check it for me. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 04:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the senator Corzine image is credited to the U.S. Senate Historical Office, would {{PD-USGov}} be sufficient? AndyZ 21:05, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds about right. Made the change. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 21:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the MollyPitcher image has the correct copyright tag, provided that PD-US includes images published pre-1923, and the sheet music it was taken from supposedly is from 1905 sheet music. AndyZ 21:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how the last image's, the riot one, copyright tag should be, seeing that it comes from PBS 13 website. Considering that the user who has uploaded it has uploaded several other unsourced unverified images without being able to give the proper copyright tags, I'm removing the image from the History of New Jersey and New Jersey in the Twentieth Century articles unless the copyright tag can be cleaned up. AndyZ 22:29, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone double check that Image:Camden Shipyard.jpg has a proper copyright tag? I just uploaded it any I want to make sure that it is okay for incorporation into the article. AndyZ 00:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is a usable image. The permissions [1] state "You are free to download images and movies for personal or noncommercial use. If you post, please include a credit line, e.g., Credit Line: Courtesy Michael J. Ruiz, UNC-Asheville." Per this message from Jimbo Wales, "All images which are for non-commercial only use and by permission only are not acceptable for Wikipedia and _will be deleted_." I think this image falls into these categories and should be removed from Wikipedia. Cmadler 11:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Do you think it would fall under fair use for the History of New Jersey article, since (1) it is for educational purposes and clearly shows the industrilization of New Jersey and the developments of shipyards in New Jersey, (2) it is of a much smaller size than of the actual 4.4 MB downloadable version, (3) (not too sure whether this is: amount and substantiality of the portion) Smaller version of one of several images downloadable from the entire website, and (4) It is marked as free use, so that there is no potential market for the image or the rest or the other images on the website. The smaller-sized image doesn't therefore harm the value of the image. AndyZ 13:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to add the rationale on Image:Camden Shipyard.jpg, can somebody please look at it again? AndyZ 18:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me--ZeWrestler ^Talk 18:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
