Hello, I'm Flyer22. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Clarence Darrow because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

I believe you once wrote to me explaining user pages belong completely to the user himself/herself. It seems like Benzband undid what I added to the dessert/cake section you added to my user page's edit page. Does the edit page not belong to me solely? Marc Bago ( talk) 22:05, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Also, I smiled at you? It seems as if this page says I smiled at you! I don't even know how to smile at someone! On Wikipedia. But as my user page states, this site is kind of tough for me to figure out beyond reading all the articles.
Double also, I wonder if that Akita article was ever fixed. It really sucked. Marc Bago ( talk) 22:08, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, please make sure you are mindful of who you are welcoming to Wikipedia. Today you welcomed Iamnotheretocontributetothiswiki ( talk · contribs) to Wikipedia. If you look at the user's contributions (and user name), you can see his account was vandalism only from the outset.

Hi 7&6=thirteen,
You were the first and only person to communicate with me here on Wikipedia so don't really know where to turn for questions or just in general anything at all. You've always been helpful so perhaps you'd be willing to help me some more. Always appreciated and I thank you in advance for spending the time to read this and help. Here's some stuff I've been wondering about:
1) Is there a place to message all (or a fragment) of the moderators or whatever they're called of Wikipedia at once? Like a forum of sorts to discuss things? A place where I can say, "Hey, this needs to be brought to everyone's attention because of x and x," and some discussion formed or attention paid because of my post?
2) If there's a crappy article (like that Akita one from a while ago), how do I mark it in a way notifying the page needs revision? I think I've marked pages for revision before but can't remember if I have or if that's even a false memory of mine.
3) Is there Wikipedia style guide? Seriously, as my personal page states, this place is hard to navigate and find answers. For example, some articles employ the Oxford comma. Some don't. Some use both the Oxford comma and no Oxford comma. It's laziness IMO. Or nobody on here has put their foot down yet as to what style Wikipedia should use. Or maybe nobody gives a crap and I'm the only person on here who actually is picky about this.
4) If I come across an article with a talk page where I see someone has made a valid point or mentioned something of value that is never acknowledged (for months/years/however long), is there a way to somehow call out to Wikipedia users to acknowledge this point? Or make an update of sorts, reminding someone to inspect what a person in the past called for to be inspected?
5) Are you yourself a moderator or some sort of special user sitting somewhere on whatever the ranking/tier system that is used here on Wikipedia? Is there even a tier system? Like regular user/contributor/super member/moderator/overlord? Because I don't remember why exactly you contacted me, I think it was because my personal page was blank, but am curious about the workings of this site outside of reading the information on it.
6) How do I make my user page as cool as yours? :P
Thanks for any and all help. There's quite a few things here and any time you have to spare to help would be greatly appreciated. Marc Bago ( talk) 19:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Here's why I find the edits perplexing. For example this edit
The edit summary states (in part): Carrying beer measurements to an extreme
In what way is it an extreme? 6.66% ABV is far from an extreme. 66.6 IBU is far from an extreme. I can understand why an article about various measurements might identify examples of extremes, but this is not one. So why on earth was it added? The numbers have some significance to some people, but that is not relevant to beer measurement, so the addition sounds like something a newbie editor might find amusing and thinks belongs in an article. I wouldn't expect an established editor to think so, which is why some wondered what is going on.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 21:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
I'll be 100% honest as to why I said what I did. At the time I still believed that there was no way an editor with 60K edits could make those additions and honestly believe they belonged. I'm frankly baffled at those edits being made by an experienced editor. I don't know if it makes it better or worse to tell you that I'd rather those edits had been made by a compromised account. It'd be much easier to understand-- Cube lurker ( talk) 03:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

17:08, 8 March 2014 (UTC)Thanks for your kind words on my talk page. It's good to see that there's still decent people here and at the Irish project who disagree with Banner!! Given that you did a great job on reviewing Msambweni I wondered if you'd be interested in reviewing this one?♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:32, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, can you explain this edit please? [3]
I only have one more state to go. It started adding categories and has morphed into adding, and cleaning up the map locations, cleaning up the units and adding categories and other MoS cleanup. And in the case of some places cleaning the main navigation infoboxes. So you know this started a while ago and the rest of the world is done, or at least for the articles that were there when I visited. So, I'm glad someone noticed and appreciated the work. If you are interested in these, can you look at Sand Point Light? I wound up leaving that one pretty much alone since I could not figure out what this is about. The coordinates at the USCG site don't seem to match ours. So I think the article is about more then one light and might actually not cover the current USCG one. It left me totally confused.

What you said is absolutely correct in that we can agree to disagree, and I'm really sorry for the specific wording/tone I used - I suppose it's unbecoming of a collaborative discussion with the goal (on both our parts) to improve the encyclopedia. I hope there aren't any hard feelings over that and I look forward to working with you in the future. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 04:08, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
At your request, I looked at this article, but I don't see anything that needs improvement--it seems very well done. Most of my participation on this site consists of correcting spelling and grammatical errors; I'm not very good with computers per se and so my textual and informational edits are often problematical. So if I missed anything in the Macomb article, I apologize.
Regarding Commodore Perry--I noticed that he died on his 34th birthday. In my experience, such an event is usually noted in the text (instead of just mentioning his age). I would've made an edit to that effect, but as you'd just thanked me for another edit (the "Elliot"/"Elliott" spellings?), I thought I should leave that to you.
By the way, I just saw the "Smile" that I supposedly sent to you. I'm afraid I don't remember doing that. Rontrigger ( talk) 21:23, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

'Twas only a minor edit… I saw your edit to the F-S knife page, and was curious as to who "Yank" Levy was. I have two reference books on the F-S knife (Latham-Wilkinson and Flook)- and keep on meaning to do some work on the article. Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 15:41, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
I have made several edits to correct errors that show up when I used MS Word as an editor. The other thing I noticed was that a clarification is needed in the "Military career" paragraph. I have left a marker where I feel a clarification is needed for the general reader. I understand what you are talking about but some readers may not. I didn't have a lot of time to devote to the article right now, but I might look at it later today. Hope this helped. Cuprum17 ( talk) 18:50, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your kind words (which I don't deserve!). I found a photo of Levy's collection of knives- it turned out to be from "Life" magazine, copyright, and thus I couldn't upload it. I can't see anything there at the moment which would be a "Levy combat knife"- there's a push dagger, a standard US trench dagger (knuckleduster type), a kukri, a flick knife, a marlin spike, an Arab-style dagger (like the one worn by Lawrence of Arabia), something that looks like an improvised plug bayonet, and various odd stilettos and combat knives (including one that looks like a Hitler Youth-badged dagger). According to the caption "In a fight, he carries one under his sleeve, one suspended round his neck." Actually, the whole collection looks like a photo of the contents of a bin at a police station after a knife amnesty! Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 21:49, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Your revert of my edit on the article Jack Dempsey surprises me. The citation leads to this website which does not support the statement that he "instructed Coast Guardsmen on close-quarters hand-to-hand combat incorporating boxing, wrestling, savate and jiujitsu". This is the initial reason that I removed the citation. A better way to cite this paragraph would be to actually cite the book itself with a page reference or two. I don't like to see citations leading to a commercial site that leads into a sales pitch for the item being mentioned. The term "savate" was added to the article by an IP and I question whether Dempsey actually taught that in hand to hand combat; if he did, it would be nice to use a page number reference within the book to back that claim. If you will check the article's history, you will find that I have reverted vandalism in this article several times and it is one of about six hundred articles that I patrol for vandalism and unwarranted changes. I know that you also do the same, and I respect that. I do it because Jack Dempsey was a Coast Guardsman and that is the aspect of the article that I am mostly interested in, but I have reverted blatant vandalism when I found it. The citation provided does prove he authored the book, but says nothing about the content or his method of instruction. This could be referenced better in my opinion and that is the reason that I made my changes. I won't revert your edit, but in the future, it would be courteous to discuss first before reverting the edit of an experienced editor, in my opinion... Cuprum17 ( talk) 22:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Your revert of my edit on the article for Salmon P. Chase surprises me. I only added a reference to an already existing Wikipedia article on Kate Chase (Salmon P. Chase's daughter). Moreover, from what I can see it was not my edit that you reverted, but from the change made by the IP after me. My edit hasn't been reverted at all.
Also, may I add that the edit you DID revert (not mine) in fact shouldn't have been reverted. According to Doris Kearns "Team of Rivals" (audiobook, part 5, about 1hr 30 minutes in) it was indeed Chase's fourth resignation that got accepted by Lincoln and not his third.

We were in the middle of a seeming congressional debate. It's a G*d* dirty process, and I tried to lead them down the right path. But I wasn't going to unilaterally declare my view (which was the correct one, as I know more about the subject than anyone else in the room, so to speak) to be the final solution. I did not like where any of this led, but felt constrained by collegiality. And moving the article (with all those redirects and prior history) was fraught with technical difficulty, and something I did not want to start and screw up. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 19:58, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

The microbrewery cat is being upmerged per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_2#Category:Microbreweries, and the use of the term as a neutral and clearly understood identifier in the lead is insecure, so is being replaced by the neutral brewery.

Well, it's been almost a month getting here, but I finally received the book and it is next on my reading list. Almost every page has a picture of the fighting technique that Dempsey is discussing. I kind of skimmed it real quick so I don't know much about what it says just yet. The version of the book I found was a reprint of the original 1942 version and was reprinted by Palladin Press of Boulder, Colorado. ISBN 978-1-58160-315-6.

I've reverted you there. The source you put in the infobox doesn't say he was a Sergeant, the other Smithsonian page only says he was put forward for promotion to Sergeant. I've written to them asking for their evidence, but we do have a source that states clearly there is no documentary evidence for this. This all seems extremely unlikely - the US Army doesn't have any procedures for this so far as I know and no official wardogs for that war I believe. It certainly has no procedures for medals for animals. I raised it at the article's talk page and also at User talk:Drmies and now at a couple of wikiprojects.

You reverted my changes to Trial film because "getting rid of Judgment at Nuremberg and Witness for the Prosecution is wrong." But I didn't get rid of them. They are mentioned earlier in the article under The American Bar Association's list and American Film Institute. The section from which I removed them is called Other films, so it shouldn't duplicate ones already listed. On the other hand, when you reverted my change, you removed my addition of The Wreck of the Mary Deare, which had NOT been mentioned earlier. If you insist on having redundant entries for the first two films, I guess I won't fight it, but I think The Wreck of the Mary Deare definitely belongs on this list. ubiquity ( talk) 13:32, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Hiya: I added the actual click through link on the Doyle Doss sex offender registry page. Mr. Doss is well-known in this area for using his Wikipedia page to attempt to impress people with his bona-fides; which are pretty much zero. The New York Times article was written directly from his press release. I tried before to have this article removed and was overruled; I still do not believe this MAN is notable, the hummingbird feeder is only available from him; as are the "Candle heeters". It's like a Nigerian chain letter being repeated in Wiki as truth to see this one with a Wikipedia page. Ellin Beltz ( talk) 16:13, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Now that I've actually had the time to type in my reasons at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doyle Doss, please go back over, read what I wrote and then take a stand? I had to override an "edit war" tag to enter my reasons for proposing deletion because you voted to oppose before I had an opportunity to present the case for deletion. I kept your entire comment, but humbly request that you look at it again and take a look at the sources which are obviously from press releases. Wiki notability is very careful to say "The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally." One article in New York Times, in response to a press release and a YouTube, and a personal website is not "significant independent coverage," else the wiki would be full of people with Etsy accounts but no other notability!!

On the 'historical antecedents', we need to be very careful to include only items directly connected to Russia, as the second paragraph seems to be; the first paragraph probably belongs not here but in military deception, unless you are thinking of tying the two paragraphs together more strongly. Otherwise we're pulling the article away from its distinctive Russianness towards the general topic, possibly creating a fork. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 16:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Re yr cmt: Yes, there's something wrong over there. WP at least has clear policies on weasel words. I'm against recentism (an unconscious or unthinking bias in many articles); luckily most of the recent stuff in this case is from sources we can reject. I hadn't expected this history article to be political; I think that with most editors it wouldn't be; but it's better we talk here, if anywhere. Thanks. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 07:53, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
On your suggested source, I'm not sure that's a WP:RS, and it's certainly recent and political as in the paragraph above. Personally, I'd wait five or ten years for the dust to settle, and perhaps it will have been written about more objectively by then. I'm totally against any suggestion of sneaky behaviour; that charge would in any case stick just as well to British deceptions in WWII. So I'd much rather not go near it. Please.

Houses at Auvers. Must be mad. Hafspajen ( talk) 20:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Vincent van Gogh is a symbol for the eternal problem with mankind: his questing for the meaning of life and the truth. In the course of his life everybody discovers life has no meaning, difference works up hatred and the truth has several versions... Vincent's life was short but his struggle for love and recognition was long and in the end unbearable. He had to get rid of the mortgage everybody gets from the so-called education you get from your parents and other people in your early-life. Everybody is a prisoner of his time and education. Vincent, too, but he wanted to do a lot in his own way, as a consequence people didn't understand him, were even hostile to him; this made him sometimes rebellious and he often felt lonesome. But as many people with mental problems, his imagination played a prominent part in the way he believed other people thought about him and his art. Van Gogh is often thought of as a loner, yet during his career he was surrounded by artists. He brought people together, provoked discussions, acted as a mediator between temperamental artists, and encouraged experiments and exhibitions. These artists in turn influenced Van Gogh’s personal and artistic development. During his ten-year artistic career, from 1880-1890, Van Gogh was highly creative. A full 864 paintings and almost 1,200 drawings and prints have survived. He was active in The Netherlands, until the call of France was irresistible, like for so many artists before and after him (like Tavik František Šimon). From 1886-1888 he was in Paris, from 1888-1889 in Arles, from 1889-1890 in Saint-Rémy, where he tried to recover from a mental illness and finally, from May, 20, 1890 until his death, July 29, 1890, he was in Auvers-sur-Oise, in order to recover completely. In May 1890 Vincent visited his brother Theo and his family in Paris and then settled in Auvers-sur-Oise, a little village at the river Oise around 30 kilometres from Paris. The town was chosen because Paul Gachet, a doctor, artist and collector, was living there, he agreed to take care of Vincent. Vincent managed to find himself a very small room in an inn owned by Arthur Gustave Ravoux and immediately began painting the environs of Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh came to Auvers-sur-Oise, on May 20, 1890. “Auvers is very pretty,” he wrote to Theo, “there is countryside all around, typical and picturesque.” Auvers was an artists’ village, where painters such as Armand Guillaumin, Camille Pissarro, Charles-François Daubigny, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Paul Cézanne had already worked.
If you can't acces it, this is what it writes. Hafspajen ( talk) 20:50, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Throughout June, Vincent remained in good spirits and was remarkably productive, painting some of his best known works. The initial tranquillity of the first month in Auvers was interrupted, however, when Vincent received news that his nephew was seriously ill. Theo had been going through a most difficult time throughout the previous few months: uncertainty about his own career and future, ongoing health problems and finally his own son's illness. Following the baby's recovery, Vincent decided to visit Theo and his family on 6 July and caught an early train. Very little is known about the visit, but Johanna, Theo's wife, writing years later, would suggest that the day was strained and fairly tense. Vincent eventually felt overwhelmed and quickly returned to the more quiet sanctuary of Auvers. During the next three weeks Vincent kept on painting and, as his letters suggest, was reasonably happy. To his mother and sister Vincent wrote: "For the present I am feeling much calmer than last year, and really the restlessness in my head has greatly quieted down." (Letter 650) Vincent was absorbed in the fields and plains around Auvers and produced some brilliant landscapes throughout July. In Auvers Van Gogh painted more then 70 pictures. During these last weeks of his life it was only due to his work that he could forget about his illness, and he painted as if possessed. Among the works of the period are a religious work after Delacroix, The Pieta, The Church of Auvers, multiple landscapes and portraits. On the evening of the 27th July 1890 Van Gogh went at dusk into the fields and shot himself. With all his strength he managed to drag himself back to the inn; here he died two days later in the arms of his brother, who had hurried to his side. Besides Theo and Dr. Gachet some friends from Paris, amongst them Bernard and “Père” Tanguy, took part in the funeral.
Also this... Hafspajen ( talk) 20:51, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Vincent van Gogh repeated the motif of peasant huts on many occasions: "In my opinion, the most marvellous of all that I know in the sphere of architecture is huts with their roofs of moss-grown straw and a smoky hearth," wrote van Gogh in one of his letters. The thatched roofs seem to be just as much an organic part of nature as the hills, fields and sky. The hilly relief of the distance allowed the artist to accentuate the dynamics of space, which he reinforced through the use of colour contrasts. The tense, wavy brushstrokes and lines convey the artist's perception of life and the world. During these last few weeks of his life, Van Gogh painted a few portraits but mainly a large number of landscapes among which is "Les Vessenots," the part of Auvers where Dr Gachet -the first owner of this painting- lived. The work is characteristic of Van Gogh's pictorial language at the end of his life, in which he combines very reduced and schematised compositions with a narrow palette of luminous greens and yellows and the use of agitated and nervous brushstrokes which follow a waving and repetitive rhythm. The composition is a horizontal one with a typically raised horizon, grouping together a number of old cottages, some with thatched roofs, alongside extensive fields of wheat and a few waving trees. Although he always painted in front of the subject, the painting is a very personal vision of the landscape. Van Gogh transformed what he saw into something profoundly personal, giving visual form to the emotions which the landscape in front of him inspired in him. The fertile fields around Auvers produced conflicting feelings within him: the sensation of freedom which he had in front of these broad fields was counterbalanced by melancholy and a sensation of loneliness brought on by the sight of the wheat.

I can understand that you are nervous to write on my talk page but this matter does not require email. OK, I unreservedly withdraw all accusations of vandalism. Regarding your second !vandalism, a moment's investigation shows what happened: you edited an old version of the page like this. It is an easy mistake to make - I have done it myself. But as to NewJerseyLenape ( talk · contribs), I will say most emphatically: just because someone has provided an email address that is no reason to force them to use email. There was an an hint that this user might be persuadable to make useful contributions so it was a good thing to teach them talk page conventions asap.

Hello 7&6=Thirteen -- I see you've been working on Houses at Auvers. All your edits look fine. Earlier, at the request of User:Hafspajen, I paraphrased some large paragraphs that Hafs left on my talk page (worked on it in my sandbox). I had done it in two stages. Hafs added the first half of the section Houses at Auvers#Auvers about two days ago, and then I added the second half today. However, in the interim, a short sentence was added after the first batch so that there is no longer a smooth transition between the two halves. I thought I'd point it out to you so that, if you feel like it, you could help smooth this over. I'll copy the last sentence of the first batch, the short added sentence, and the first sentence of the second batch, here:
Now, it goes from the huts, to the village, and back to the huts. There is also now "was fascinated by" and "fascinating". I was going to delete the middle sentence since I think the third sentence is sufficient, but I hesitated because I saw the middle sentence has two reference numbers. Since Hafs told me he had already added the reference for the material s/he asked me to paraphrase, it is possible that those references are the same as the ones for all the paraphrasing I did, both before and after that sentence. What do you think? Should the short middle sentence just be deleted?
If you look at my sandbox at User:CorinneSD/sandbox#Houses at Auvers, you will see that I struggled more with the last part than I did with the first. The original paragraphs are on my talk page at User talk:CorinneSD#New article. I tried my best to reword the most important parts. I don't know if the parts I put in parentheses (such as "luminous greens and yellows") are too close to the original text. Can you look at that? Thanks. CorinneSD ( talk) 00:30, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

One. And it's an oldie
Speedster he has from long ago.
But it is a really good song. I never could figure out the peculiar logic of Mercedes Benz using it in their advertisements. You had to listen to one line in isolation, I guess. And they weren't playing the whole song, so they cut it to suit their message.

No collision. However, my sense was that these were very basic and not very well protected. Thin walled, thin doors. Flimsy. Of course, the 58 did not even have a seat belt. This is with the benefit of 40+ years of intervening technology. My Lincoln LS is a far larger and safer car and gets mileage that betters the old buggies. But they were fun to drive. I think my parents wanted me to have the first one because they preferred me to drive it rather than a motorcycle – which some of my friends were acquiring at the time. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 18:45, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm surprised to see your revert there - given your earlier copyedits, I thought you were one of the good guys in this sterile conflict. Anyway, what exactly is there to discuss? We have a version that's cited, conforms to the relevant policies, and is at least decent. Not perfect, there's always room for improvement, but a good starting point. And on the other side, we have a version that's chaotic, polemical, largely uncited, makes outlandish claims and blatantly violates WP:CS, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:FRINGE, WP:NPOV and a host of other policies. And that's defended by an editor with, shall we say, unconventional views, as can be seen from his talk page screeds. So I'm not quite sure what you're after. - Biruitorul Talk 16:47, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry... I'm not sure what your revert comment means. An anonymous editor took the long-standing version in which the justices were identified as "Roman Catholic", and removed the "Roman", leaving only "Catholic". I reverted, indicating that "Catholic" by itself is ambiguous, since there are other churches that call themselves catholic. You reverted the revert, but the comment makes no sense to me: "hat there are other rites does notk change the factd that these justices are practicing Roman Cathollics." Indeed; I did not delete the affiliation, I clarified it back to "Roman Catholic", you dropped the "Roman" again. Could you tell me what I'm missing? Thanks. Magidin ( talk) 14:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't know where to post this...
I would just like to draw Wikipedians attention to the way the page view statistics are presented. In each and every Wikipedia page one would click 'View history', then 'Page view statistics' and he will get the statistics page. Now, the headline reads - '(Wikipedia page) has been viewed xxxxxx times in the last 30 days. (and, for 10,000 Wikipedia pages, also - ) This article ranked xxx in traffic on en.wikipedia.org.'. One may get the wrong impression
that the ranking is an all time one. As I understand it, the ranking is merely the page's rating for the month of March 2014 (see the figures
here). This can be a bit misleading.

Thanks for letting me know that you are correcting errors to try and get my article approved. Over the years, I have contributed over 500 photos of both National Historic Place and Michigan Historic places to Wikipedia. I always wanted to try my hand at creating an article and thought this brand new living history museum was one. To get shot down within an hour with no real explanation why was a bit crushing. However, I did learn a lot about how a page is put together. If it doesn't go thru, I will still look for something that is worthy of Wikipedia and give it another go.

I received this e-mail from you:
Wingerham52 added many pictures (that apparently he took) to Commons. That's good = now he has to add a category for each picture. I made Category:Michigan Heritage Park that he can put them into. I started with his picture of Fur Trader Cabin.jpg and then he should copy what I did with all the other recent Commons pictures he uploaded, that are now uncategorized. Can you help him this = since he has to learn this step. Thanks!
Another editor asked me to sent this to you.
I am not sure what this is referring to and/or how to go about it. I don't have your revised submission, just my original(which was rejected. Most of my photography is for the wikipedia articles denoting the historic sites in Michigan. Is he also referring to these submissions, or just to the ones I took at the Muskegon Heritage Park? If he is also saying that the most recent additions have to be categorized, this would be a first after years of photographing historic places.

I have checked out the copyvio page and I have done some re-editing of sections. A large percentage of the red violations are proper nouns and names. If you would neglect those there would be little or no plagiarism. I also didn't realize that the article was still alive. I was going to abandon it after it was rejected. I thought it was notable because this is a living museum. Kinda like Williamsburg.

Thanks for all the help to a newbie. I was going to give up on the article. Now for my next idea, I would like to bounce it off you, since you are into lighthouses. The wiki page at: /info/en/?search=List_of_lighthouses_in_Michigan is not user friendly because it is hard to discern where they are geographically. I was thinking of redoing this list to mirror the page like /info/en/?search=National_Register_of_Historic_Places_listings_in_Michigan. This would allow one to search for the lighthouses in specific counties. I don't want it to be a waste of time.

I didn't want to interrupt your review, as there was an edit conflict, so I'll post this here instead. It is not exactly clear what "underexploited resource" means in this context, but if it is intended to encourage the hunting of the species, it's a bad idea and presents a neutrality issue. The idea that resources should be exploited until they are extinguished, let alone animals for that matter, is not just controversial, it's a notion that's been responsible for all the horrors associated with imperialism, colonialism, and environmental destruction. The economics and science of sustainability no longer deals with the older notion of "exploiting" animals as a resource until they go extinct, and Wikipedia should not be used to push this archaic, outdated view. I'll ping User:SlimVirgin to see if she has anything to add on this. Viriditas ( talk) 02:56, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi 7&6=thirteen,
You were the first and only person to communicate with me here on Wikipedia so don't really know where to turn for questions or just in general anything at all. You've always been helpful so perhaps you'd be willing to help me some more. Always appreciated and I thank you in advance for spending the time to read this and help. Here's some stuff I've been wondering about:
1) Is there a place to message all (or a fragment) of the moderators or whatever they're called of Wikipedia at once? Like a forum of sorts to discuss things? A place where I can say, "Hey, this needs to be brought to everyone's attention because of x and x," and some discussion formed or attention paid because of my post?
2) If there's a crappy article (like that Akita one from a while ago), how do I mark it in a way notifying the page needs revision? I think I've marked pages for revision before but can't remember if I have or if that's even a false memory of mine.
3) Is there Wikipedia style guide? Seriously, as my personal page states, this place is hard to navigate and find answers. For example, some articles employ the Oxford comma. Some don't. Some use both the Oxford comma and no Oxford comma. It's laziness IMO. Or nobody on here has put their foot down yet as to what style Wikipedia should use. Or maybe nobody gives a crap and I'm the only person on here who actually is picky about this.
4) If I come across an article with a talk page where I see someone has made a valid point or mentioned something of value that is never acknowledged (for months/years/however long), is there a way to somehow call out to Wikipedia users to acknowledge this point? Or make an update of sorts, reminding someone to inspect what a person in the past called for to be inspected?
5) Are you yourself a moderator or some sort of special user sitting somewhere on whatever the ranking/tier system that is used here on Wikipedia? Is there even a tier system? Like regular user/contributor/super member/moderator/overlord? Because I don't remember why exactly you contacted me, I think it was because my personal page was blank, but am curious about the workings of this site outside of reading the information on it.
6) How do I make my user page as cool as yours? :P
Thanks for any and all help. There's quite a few things here and any time you have to spare to help would be greatly appreciated. Marc Bago ( talk) 19:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Here's why I find the edits perplexing. For example this edit
The edit summary states (in part): Carrying beer measurements to an extreme
In what way is it an extreme? 6.66% ABV is far from an extreme. 66.6 IBU is far from an extreme. I can understand why an article about various measurements might identify examples of extremes, but this is not one. So why on earth was it added? The numbers have some significance to some people, but that is not relevant to beer measurement, so the addition sounds like something a newbie editor might find amusing and thinks belongs in an article. I wouldn't expect an established editor to think so, which is why some wondered what is going on.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 21:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
I'll be 100% honest as to why I said what I did. At the time I still believed that there was no way an editor with 60K edits could make those additions and honestly believe they belonged. I'm frankly baffled at those edits being made by an experienced editor. I don't know if it makes it better or worse to tell you that I'd rather those edits had been made by a compromised account. It'd be much easier to understand-- Cube lurker ( talk) 03:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, can you explain this edit please? [3]
I only have one more state to go. It started adding categories and has morphed into adding, and cleaning up the map locations, cleaning up the units and adding categories and other MoS cleanup. And in the case of some places cleaning the main navigation infoboxes. So you know this started a while ago and the rest of the world is done, or at least for the articles that were there when I visited. So, I'm glad someone noticed and appreciated the work. If you are interested in these, can you look at Sand Point Light? I wound up leaving that one pretty much alone since I could not figure out what this is about. The coordinates at the USCG site don't seem to match ours. So I think the article is about more then one light and might actually not cover the current USCG one. It left me totally confused.

At your request, I looked at this article, but I don't see anything that needs improvement--it seems very well done. Most of my participation on this site consists of correcting spelling and grammatical errors; I'm not very good with computers per se and so my textual and informational edits are often problematical. So if I missed anything in the Macomb article, I apologize.
Regarding Commodore Perry--I noticed that he died on his 34th birthday. In my experience, such an event is usually noted in the text (instead of just mentioning his age). I would've made an edit to that effect, but as you'd just thanked me for another edit (the "Elliot"/"Elliott" spellings?), I thought I should leave that to you.

Thanks very much for your kind words (which I don't deserve!). I found a photo of Levy's collection of knives- it turned out to be from "Life" magazine, copyright, and thus I couldn't upload it. I can't see anything there at the moment which would be a "Levy combat knife"- there's a push dagger, a standard US trench dagger (knuckleduster type), a kukri, a flick knife, a marlin spike, an Arab-style dagger (like the one worn by Lawrence of Arabia), something that looks like an improvised plug bayonet, and various odd stilettos and combat knives (including one that looks like a Hitler Youth-badged dagger). According to the caption "In a fight, he carries one under his sleeve, one suspended round his neck." Actually, the whole collection looks like a photo of the contents of a bin at a police station after a knife amnesty! Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 21:49, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Your revert of my edit on the article Jack Dempsey surprises me. The citation leads to this website which does not support the statement that he "instructed Coast Guardsmen on close-quarters hand-to-hand combat incorporating boxing, wrestling, savate and jiujitsu". This is the initial reason that I removed the citation. A better way to cite this paragraph would be to actually cite the book itself with a page reference or two. I don't like to see citations leading to a commercial site that leads into a sales pitch for the item being mentioned. The term "savate" was added to the article by an IP and I question whether Dempsey actually taught that in hand to hand combat; if he did, it would be nice to use a page number reference within the book to back that claim. If you will check the article's history, you will find that I have reverted vandalism in this article several times and it is one of about six hundred articles that I patrol for vandalism and unwarranted changes. I know that you also do the same, and I respect that. I do it because Jack Dempsey was a Coast Guardsman and that is the aspect of the article that I am mostly interested in, but I have reverted blatant vandalism when I found it. The citation provided does prove he authored the book, but says nothing about the content or his method of instruction. This could be referenced better in my opinion and that is the reason that I made my changes. I won't revert your edit, but in the future, it would be courteous to discuss first before reverting the edit of an experienced editor, in my opinion... Cuprum17 ( talk) 22:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Your revert of my edit on the article for Salmon P. Chase surprises me. I only added a reference to an already existing Wikipedia article on Kate Chase (Salmon P. Chase's daughter). Moreover, from what I can see it was not my edit that you reverted, but from the change made by the IP after me. My edit hasn't been reverted at all.
Also, may I add that the edit you DID revert (not mine) in fact shouldn't have been reverted. According to Doris Kearns "Team of Rivals" (audiobook, part 5, about 1hr 30 minutes in) it was indeed Chase's fourth resignation that got accepted by Lincoln and not his third. Thanks in advance for removing any damage to my wikipedia reputation. 80.169.46.101 ( talk) 14:11, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Regarding this - if "not one reference" refers to him as 'Albert', why is the article located named as it is, and not Bert Levy? Giant Snowman 18:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
We were in the middle of a seeming congressional debate. It's a G*d* dirty process, and I tried to lead them down the right path. But I wasn't going to unilaterally declare my view (which was the correct one, as I know more about the subject than anyone else in the room, so to speak) to be the final solution. I did not like where any of this led, but felt constrained by collegiality. And moving the article (with all those redirects and prior history) was fraught with technical difficulty, and something I did not want to start and screw up. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 19:58, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

The microbrewery cat is being upmerged per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_2#Category:Microbreweries, and the use of the term as a neutral and clearly understood identifier in the lead is insecure, so is being replaced by the neutral brewery.

Well, it's been almost a month getting here, but I finally received the book and it is next on my reading list. Almost every page has a picture of the fighting technique that Dempsey is discussing. I kind of skimmed it real quick so I don't know much about what it says just yet. The version of the book I found was a reprint of the original 1942 version and was reprinted by Palladin Press of Boulder, Colorado. ISBN 978-1-58160-315-6.

I have a question for you since you have worked on this article. Do you know of any source that states Fuller lived in Bangor, Maine at some time. The article used to say it, but I removed the mention because it was unreferenced. List of people from Bangor, Maine had Fuller in it also till I removed it. He lived in Augusta and went to Bowdoin College. Fuller might have had family in Bangor but that doesn't make him from there. Note the article doesn't have him categorized as 'People from Bangor, Maine' either. Can you help me and do you have any thoughts? ...William 01:05, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I do very much like the scope of your list, however. If you go back in the history on The Tridge (Midland, Michigan) you will see that I had spent considerable time on this subject before one of our esteemed editors trashed it all as "cruft" so that he could kill my effort at the time to get a DYK. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎)

I've reverted you there. The source you put in the infobox doesn't say he was a Sergeant, the other Smithsonian page only says he was put forward for promotion to Sergeant. I've written to them asking for their evidence, but we do have a source that states clearly there is no documentary evidence for this. This all seems extremely unlikely - the US Army doesn't have any procedures for this so far as I know and no official wardogs for that war I believe. It certainly has no procedures for medals for animals. I raised it at the article's talk page and also at User talk:Drmies and now at a couple of wikiprojects.

You reverted my changes to Trial film because "getting rid of Judgment at Nuremberg and Witness for the Prosecution is wrong." But I didn't get rid of them. They are mentioned earlier in the article under The American Bar Association's list and American Film Institute. The section from which I removed them is called Other films, so it shouldn't duplicate ones already listed. On the other hand, when you reverted my change, you removed my addition of The Wreck of the Mary Deare, which had NOT been mentioned earlier. If you insist on having redundant entries for the first two films, I guess I won't fight it, but I think The Wreck of the Mary Deare definitely belongs on this list. ubiquity ( talk) 13:32, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

DYK... that North American Piedmontese cattle (pictured) are a breed of beef cattle originating from the Italian Piedmontese cattle that carry a unique gene mutation that causes double muscling? Atsme☯ Consult 01:06, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Hey, 7+6. Not trying to be a prick, but there is nothing in his bio tying him to Petoskey (Closest thing is he was born in Michigan, unreferenced). And the ref you added says nothing that I could find tying him to Petoskey. The page you linked was a sale page for an album, but not even the bio section had anything about Petoskey. John from Idegon ( talk) 17:59, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Had to revert and manually edit some of the changes that were made to Piedmontese. The edits changed the intended meaning - obviously made by editors who aren't familiar with cattle or the terminology, and lacked your savvy about such things.

Now that I've actually had the time to type in my reasons at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doyle Doss, please go back over, read what I wrote and then take a stand? I had to override an "edit war" tag to enter my reasons for proposing deletion because you voted to oppose before I had an opportunity to present the case for deletion. I kept your entire comment, but humbly request that you look at it again and take a look at the sources which are obviously from press releases. Wiki notability is very careful to say "The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally." One article in New York Times, in response to a press release and a YouTube, and a personal website is not "significant independent coverage," else the wiki would be full of people with Etsy accounts but no other notability!!

On the 'historical antecedents', we need to be very careful to include only items directly connected to Russia, as the second paragraph seems to be; the first paragraph probably belongs not here but in military deception, unless you are thinking of tying the two paragraphs together more strongly. Otherwise we're pulling the article away from its distinctive Russianness towards the general topic, possibly creating a fork. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 16:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Re yr cmt: Yes, there's something wrong over there. WP at least has clear policies on weasel words. I'm against recentism (an unconscious or unthinking bias in many articles); luckily most of the recent stuff in this case is from sources we can reject. I hadn't expected this history article to be political; I think that with most editors it wouldn't be; but it's better we talk here, if anywhere. Thanks. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 07:53, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
On your suggested source, I'm not sure that's a WP:RS, and it's certainly recent and political as in the paragraph above. Personally, I'd wait five or ten years for the dust to settle, and perhaps it will have been written about more objectively by then. I'm totally against any suggestion of sneaky behaviour; that charge would in any case stick just as well to British deceptions in WWII. So I'd much rather not go near it. Please.

Hello. Not sure if you have followed the discussion on the talk page. The situation has changed significantly. Another editor has found unequivocal evidence of Brown Windsor soup existing in the 1920s and 1930s. I posted that information in the article, but you deleted it. I will be happy to email you the PDFs of newspaper clippings verifying this. The theories about this being a legend, or conflated with the soap etc.. are hogwash. The soup was real and existed and there is concrete evidence for it. We can still provide multiple POVs but the article really needs to emphasis that this soup existed in the 1920s and 30s on the menus of restaurants. -- Green C

Houses at Auvers. Must be mad. Hafspajen ( talk) 20:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Vincent van Gogh is a symbol for the eternal problem with mankind: his questing for the meaning of life and the truth. In the course of his life everybody discovers life has no meaning, difference works up hatred and the truth has several versions... Vincent's life was short but his struggle for love and recognition was long and in the end unbearable. He had to get rid of the mortgage everybody gets from the so-called education you get from your parents and other people in your early-life. Everybody is a prisoner of his time and education. Vincent, too, but he wanted to do a lot in his own way, as a consequence people didn't understand him, were even hostile to him; this made him sometimes rebellious and he often felt lonesome. But as many people with mental problems, his imagination played a prominent part in the way he believed other people thought about him and his art. Van Gogh is often thought of as a loner, yet during his career he was surrounded by artists. He brought people together, provoked discussions, acted as a mediator between temperamental artists, and encouraged experiments and exhibitions. These artists in turn influenced Van Gogh’s personal and artistic development. During his ten-year artistic career, from 1880-1890, Van Gogh was highly creative. A full 864 paintings and almost 1,200 drawings and prints have survived. He was active in The Netherlands, until the call of France was irresistible, like for so many artists before and after him (like Tavik František Šimon). From 1886-1888 he was in Paris, from 1888-1889 in Arles, from 1889-1890 in Saint-Rémy, where he tried to recover from a mental illness and finally, from May, 20, 1890 until his death, July 29, 1890, he was in Auvers-sur-Oise, in order to recover completely. In May 1890 Vincent visited his brother Theo and his family in Paris and then settled in Auvers-sur-Oise, a little village at the river Oise around 30 kilometres from Paris. The town was chosen because Paul Gachet, a doctor, artist and collector, was living there, he agreed to take care of Vincent. Vincent managed to find himself a very small room in an inn owned by Arthur Gustave Ravoux and immediately began painting the environs of Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh came to Auvers-sur-Oise, on May 20, 1890. “Auvers is very pretty,” he wrote to Theo, “there is countryside all around, typical and picturesque.” Auvers was an artists’ village, where painters such as Armand Guillaumin, Camille Pissarro, Charles-François Daubigny, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Paul Cézanne had already worked.
If you can't acces it, this is what it writes. Hafspajen ( talk) 20:50, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Throughout June, Vincent remained in good spirits and was remarkably productive, painting some of his best known works. The initial tranquillity of the first month in Auvers was interrupted, however, when Vincent received news that his nephew was seriously ill. Theo had been going through a most difficult time throughout the previous few months: uncertainty about his own career and future, ongoing health problems and finally his own son's illness. Following the baby's recovery, Vincent decided to visit Theo and his family on 6 July and caught an early train. Very little is known about the visit, but Johanna, Theo's wife, writing years later, would suggest that the day was strained and fairly tense. Vincent eventually felt overwhelmed and quickly returned to the more quiet sanctuary of Auvers. During the next three weeks Vincent kept on painting and, as his letters suggest, was reasonably happy. To his mother and sister Vincent wrote: "For the present I am feeling much calmer than last year, and really the restlessness in my head has greatly quieted down." (Letter 650) Vincent was absorbed in the fields and plains around Auvers and produced some brilliant landscapes throughout July. In Auvers Van Gogh painted more then 70 pictures. During these last weeks of his life it was only due to his work that he could forget about his illness, and he painted as if possessed. Among the works of the period are a religious work after Delacroix, The Pieta, The Church of Auvers, multiple landscapes and portraits. On the evening of the 27th July 1890 Van Gogh went at dusk into the fields and shot himself. With all his strength he managed to drag himself back to the inn; here he died two days later in the arms of his brother, who had hurried to his side. Besides Theo and Dr. Gachet some friends from Paris, amongst them Bernard and “Père” Tanguy, took part in the funeral.
Also this... Hafspajen ( talk) 20:51, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Vincent van Gogh repeated the motif of peasant huts on many occasions: "In my opinion, the most marvellous of all that I know in the sphere of architecture is huts with their roofs of moss-grown straw and a smoky hearth," wrote van Gogh in one of his letters. The thatched roofs seem to be just as much an organic part of nature as the hills, fields and sky. The hilly relief of the distance allowed the artist to accentuate the dynamics of space, which he reinforced through the use of colour contrasts. The tense, wavy brushstrokes and lines convey the artist's perception of life and the world. During these last few weeks of his life, Van Gogh painted a few portraits but mainly a large number of landscapes among which is "Les Vessenots," the part of Auvers where Dr Gachet -the first owner of this painting- lived. The work is characteristic of Van Gogh's pictorial language at the end of his life, in which he combines very reduced and schematised compositions with a narrow palette of luminous greens and yellows and the use of agitated and nervous brushstrokes which follow a waving and repetitive rhythm. The composition is a horizontal one with a typically raised horizon, grouping together a number of old cottages, some with thatched roofs, alongside extensive fields of wheat and a few waving trees. Although he always painted in front of the subject, the painting is a very personal vision of the landscape. Van Gogh transformed what he saw into something profoundly personal, giving visual form to the emotions which the landscape in front of him inspired in him. The fertile fields around Auvers produced conflicting feelings within him: the sensation of freedom which he had in front of these broad fields was counterbalanced by melancholy and a sensation of loneliness brought on by the sight of the wheat.

I can understand that you are nervous to write on my talk page but this matter does not require email. OK, I unreservedly withdraw all accusations of vandalism. Regarding your second !vandalism, a moment's investigation shows what happened: you edited an old version of the page like this. It is an easy mistake to make - I have done it myself. But as to NewJerseyLenape ( talk · contribs), I will say most emphatically: just because someone has provided an email address that is no reason to force them to use email. There was an an hint that this user might be persuadable to make useful contributions so it was a good thing to teach them talk page conventions asap. If you were to do the utterly boring thing of working through my edits to my talk page, you would find that I regularly, silently remove email addresses. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 21:13, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello 7&6=Thirteen -- I see you've been working on Houses at Auvers. All your edits look fine. Earlier, at the request of User:Hafspajen, I paraphrased some large paragraphs that Hafs left on my talk page (worked on it in my sandbox). I had done it in two stages. Hafs added the first half of the section Houses at Auvers#Auvers about two days ago, and then I added the second half today. However, in the interim, a short sentence was added after the first batch so that there is no longer a smooth transition between the two halves. I thought I'd point it out to you so that, if you feel like it, you could help smooth this over. I'll copy the last sentence of the first batch, the short added sentence, and the first sentence of the second batch, here:
Now, it goes from the huts, to the village, and back to the huts. There is also now "was fascinated by" and "fascinating". I was going to delete the middle sentence since I think the third sentence is sufficient, but I hesitated because I saw the middle sentence has two reference numbers. Since Hafs told me he had already added the reference for the material s/he asked me to paraphrase, it is possible that those references are the same as the ones for all the paraphrasing I did, both before and after that sentence. What do you think? Should the short middle sentence just be deleted?
If you look at my sandbox at User:CorinneSD/sandbox#Houses at Auvers, you will see that I struggled more with the last part than I did with the first. The original paragraphs are on my talk page at User talk:CorinneSD#New article. I tried my best to reword the most important parts. I don't know if the parts I put in parentheses (such as "luminous greens and yellows") are too close to the original text. Can you look at that? Thanks. CorinneSD ( talk) 00:30, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

No collision. However, my sense was that these were very basic and not very well protected. Thin walled, thin doors. Flimsy. Of course, the 58 did not even have a seat belt. This is with the benefit of 40+ years of intervening technology. My Lincoln LS is a far larger and safer car and gets mileage that betters the old buggies. But they were fun to drive. I think my parents wanted me to have the first one because they preferred me to drive it rather than a motorcycle – which some of my friends were acquiring at the time. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 18:45, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm surprised to see your revert there - given your earlier copyedits, I thought you were one of the good guys in this sterile conflict. Anyway, what exactly is there to discuss? We have a version that's cited, conforms to the relevant policies, and is at least decent. Not perfect, there's always room for improvement, but a good starting point. And on the other side, we have a version that's chaotic, polemical, largely uncited, makes outlandish claims and blatantly violates WP:CS, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:FRINGE, WP:NPOV and a host of other policies. And that's defended by an editor with, shall we say, unconventional views, as can be seen from his talk page screeds.

I'm sorry... I'm not sure what your revert comment means. An anonymous editor took the long-standing version in which the justices were identified as "Roman Catholic", and removed the "Roman", leaving only "Catholic". I reverted, indicating that "Catholic" by itself is ambiguous, since there are other churches that call themselves catholic. You reverted the revert, but the comment makes no sense to me: "hat there are other rites does notk change the factd that these justices are practicing Roman Cathollics." Indeed; I did not delete the affiliation, I clarified it back to "Roman Catholic", you dropped the "Roman" again. Could you tell me what I'm missing? Thanks. Magidin ( talk) 14:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't know where to post this...
I would just like to draw Wikipedians attention to the way the page view statistics are presented. In each and every Wikipedia page one would click 'View history', then 'Page view statistics' and he will get the statistics page. Now, the headline reads - '(Wikipedia page) has been viewed xxxxxx times in the last 30 days. (and, for 10,000 Wikipedia pages, also - ) This article ranked xxx in traffic on en.wikipedia.org.'. One may get the wrong impression
that the ranking is an all time one. As I understand it, the ranking is merely the page's rating for the month of March 2014 (see the figures
here). This can be a bit misleading.

Thanks for letting me know that you are correcting errors to try and get my article approved. Over the years, I have contributed over 500 photos of both National Historic Place and Michigan Historic places to Wikipedia. I always wanted to try my hand at creating an article and thought this brand new living history museum was one. To get shot down within an hour with no real explanation why was a bit crushing. However, I did learn a lot about how a page is put together. If it doesn't go thru, I will still look for something that is worthy of Wikipedia and give it another go.

I received this e-mail from you:
Wingerham52 added many pictures (that apparently he took) to Commons. That's good = now he has to add a category for each picture. I made Category:Michigan Heritage Park that he can put them into. I started with his picture of Fur Trader Cabin.jpg and then he should copy what I did with all the other recent Commons pictures he uploaded, that are now uncategorized. Can you help him this = since he has to learn this step. Thanks!
Another editor asked me to sent this to you.
I am not sure what this is referring to and/or how to go about it. I don't have your revised submission, just my original(which was rejected. Most of my photography is for the wikipedia articles denoting the historic sites in Michigan. Is he also referring to these submissions, or just to the ones I took at the Muskegon Heritage Park? If he is also saying that the most recent additions have to be categorized, this would be a first after years of photographing historic places.

I have checked out the copyvio page and I have done some re-editing of sections. A large percentage of the red violations are proper nouns and names. If you would neglect those there would be little or no plagiarism. I also didn't realize that the article was still alive. I was going to abandon it after it was rejected. I thought it was notable because this is a living museum. Kinda like Williamsburg.

Thanks for all the help to a newbie. I was going to give up on the article. Now for my next idea, I would like to bounce it off you, since you are into lighthouses. The wiki page at: /info/en/?search=List_of_lighthouses_in_Michigan is not user friendly because it is hard to discern where they are geographically. I was thinking of redoing this list to mirror the page like /info/en/?search=National_Register_of_Historic_Places_listings_in_Michigan. This would allow one to search for the lighthouses in specific counties. I don't want it to be a waste of time.

I didn't want to interrupt your review, as there was an edit conflict, so I'll post this here instead. It is not exactly clear what "underexploited resource" means in this context, but if it is intended to encourage the hunting of the species, it's a bad idea and presents a neutrality issue. The idea that resources should be exploited until they are extinguished, let alone animals for that matter, is not just controversial, it's a notion that's been responsible for all the horrors associated with imperialism, colonialism, and environmental destruction. The economics and science of sustainability no longer deals with the older notion of "exploiting" animals as a resource until they go extinct, and Wikipedia should not be used to push this archaic, outdated view. I'll ping User:SlimVirgin to see if she has anything to add on this. Viriditas ( talk) 02:56, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
