Heya, nice job on Honeymoon Gang! Don't you mean mid 19th century though? -- fvw * 18:46, 2005 Jan 28 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for creating the new organized crime pages but please check out the Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Capital letters for article casing, especially before creating a large series of articles like the Timeline of Organized Crime. You should only capitalize proper nouns in Wikipedia articles, otherwise you create a lot of work for people to fix up. Thanks. -- Lexor| Talk 11:47, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
Thank you Lexor. I'll certainly correct them immediatly. -- User:209.213.71.78 11:21, Feb 11, 2005 (EST)
Hi. You recently created a page for a Western outlaw, Charles Bolles. Could you please provide a citation, as I couldn't pull up any information on the guy in a Google search. I was about to list it for deletion (I've been checking the recent changes for new ads, spam, vanity, and hoaxes posted, seems like there's one every minute) but I noticed you've made some useful contributions, so I'm sure it's not a hoax. Be sure to check out the Wiki guidelines on verifiability and notability to see if it fits. Thank you.-- Dmcdevit 02:22, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) (PS, we'd love it if you signed up for a username)
Sorry about the misunderstanding. Actually I created that page from a previous disambigious page listing three articles under Black Bart although I am not the original author of the article itself. I can certainly list some sources for you although I can vouch for the article itself refering the stagecoach robber popularly known as Black Bart. Thanks for letting me know and I certainly appreciate the compliments. 209.213.71.78 19:07, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Just to let you know I listed some sources. Thanks again. 209.213.71.78 19:28, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits will be indistinguishable from vandalism and will have to be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.
I know you're not a new user, but I can't believe you've never been welcomed! So here it is!
Welcome to Wikipedia, the greatest encyclopedia on Earth! You seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics! You may wish to review the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, as well as the avoiding common mistakes and what Wikipedia is not pages. The Wikipedia directory is also quite useful. In addition, you might want to add yourself to the new user log. We always want everyone to join up so that you have a username which makes communication and identification by others much easier, see Wikipedia:Why create an account? for more.
By the way, an important tip: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments.
Finally, here are some open tasks:
You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)
Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.
Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.
Hope to see you around the Wiki! And if you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact me on my talk page! -- Dmcdevit 19:44, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome. Although I didn't think my own contributions were worth getting one I'll certainly look into getting a Username if it helps clear up any confusion between myself and a vandal. 209.213.71.78 19:50, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Great job recategorising all the gangs into the appropriate category. Might I recommend registering a username? It allows you to have edits attributed to your name, rather than just an IP address, for one thing. :) Talrias | talk 20:17, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I certainly will. Thanks again. 209.213.71.78 20:32, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I have been following your work on various sluggers and like the piece you did on the labor slugger wars. Let me know when you get around to writing a piece on labor racketeering--there certainly is a need for it. My interest in the issue is from the other side of the equation, the unions that either hired or were victimized by these guys. -- Italo Svevo 04:02, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. Also I certainly appreciate the recent edits. I can be a horrible speller at times. :) I'll definatly start working on a labor racketeering article as soon as I can find some reliable sources. Labor racketeering was definately the major activity of pre-Prohibition organized crime along with extortion. It might make for a good candidate for a collaboration article. 209.213.71.78 18:01, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I have my doubts about Category:Mafia associates, partly because it is by definition vague and hard to verify. Certainly many people, including many politicans, have had contacts with mobsters; at what point to they become "associates"? This is not something someone can be convicted of, except perhaps in the court of public opinion. Also, it might libellous in cases where it is suspected but not "proven". In any case, my personal feeling would be simply to state this allegation in the body of the article and not to try to formalize it in in a category. What do you think? -- Viajero 09:03, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The funny thing is that I don't even remember working on the article! I probably just moved it out of something else. That being said I can't complain about the edits that you or anybody else chooses to make, :-) Eclecticology 22:46, 2005 May 10 (UTC)
You're right about the naming conventions, sorry. I've moved or redirected so many uncapitalized pages before, it's become a reflex. (On the other hand, it seems you restored the original, creating duplicate pages; if this should come up again, consult Help:Renaming (moving) a page.) Thanks for the friendly reminder, and happy edits. Deltabeignet 22:25, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I appreciate the dialogue on the Plug Uglies. I think it has been very open and fair-minded. Let me know if you would like me to send along a copy of Hanging Henry Gambrill. I am confident that once you see how I've put together the story you will agree that my contention is very sound. I will check back here, and we can make arrangements. Am confident also that you will enjoy the story. Tracy Matthew Melton
Greetings.... a question has been raised in the 1947 project (1947project.blogspot.com) about the source of your story about Mickey Cohen shooting up the Roosevelt Hotel. I told the individual to check here.
Sincerely,
Larry Harnisch.
I have nominated List of historical criminals of New York City, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of historical criminals of New York City. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Chexmix53 ( talk) 02:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
The article 1886 in organized crime has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
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 {{
dated prod}}
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 {{
dated prod}}
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.
