Thanks for your support at Talk:United States#Area in square miles. The discussion proceeds as last year, with TFD misreading my sources and providing no sources of his own. Unlike last year, he has not begun reverting on the article mainspace.
But TFD has now at Territories of the United States attempted to remove the section I wrote on 21st century territories, claiming they were “random collection of facts used to argue territories are part of U.S.” I have opened a discussion section at Talk:Territories of the United States/Archive 1#21st century (current) territories. Please give a look to see if I have overstepped. I mean only to properly lay out one side of the argument, appropriately sourced, and allow for inclusion of both sides, appropriately sourced.
I understand that there are those who believe the U.S. territories are not a part of the U.S., --- though they are represented by Members of Congress (Delegate, Commissioner) chosen by U.S. federal elections and are "native-born" Americans according to the U.S. Census classification. In the 21st century, islanders have mutually agreed with the Congress to be a part of the U.S. by referendum. But regardless of whether you find that persuasive, I believe I should get a fair hearing, and both sides should be properly sourced. Thanks in advance for any contribution you would want to make. TheVirginiaHistorian ( talk) 06:56, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps a footnote such as recommended by you could be in order to accommodate the territorial excluders, -- to the effect that a) the states and DC alone are reported as having an area of 3,796,742 sq.mi., but leave the 3.80 million sq.mi. in the article mainspace intro and 3,805,927 sq.mi. in the info box. Would you see if that footnote proposal could calm the waters towards a consensus here for geographic area? -- OR would you prefer b) the 3,796,742 sq.mi. in the info box and a footnote for total area of 3,805,927 sq.mi. to include the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and "Island Areas”?

The wall of text at Talk:United States is generated by my interpreting TFD as good faith inquiry into the subject. I suppose some would consider TFDs comments a form of wp:disruption as I sometimes do, but part of me answers as a retired school teacher responding to belligerent questioning as an opportunity to reinforce the lesson with additional sources, part of me responds to my child at four years repeatedly asking Why? to each response without any discussion contribution of her own. I think my extended commenting to answer straw man arguments is technically called “feeding the trolls”. But my posts are 1/3 to 1/4 shorter than last year’s...in part because my sourcing is better and the use of single brackets. Thank you for the West Publishing example, I had found it during research, but I did not understand the status of the publisher posting the information.

Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.

With a week gone by and no response to Sunray's request for further comments, just so you know, Dispute resolution in March 2013 came down to familiar names and phrasing [1].
Consensus discussion led by Mendaliv on United States Talk page included this exchange,
With TFD adamantly opposing, the 2-1 majority in the dispute resolution relented (two for including territories dropped out of the process), the process failed on the discussion page thereafter, following multiple mainspace reversions to exclude the territories. —
You will notice how very close this last draft language is to our mediated Proposal Y, which Golbez once "endorsed", while TFD's good faith concession in mediation is a restatement of his 2013 position without supporting scholarly sources for his non-sequiturs, then silence. And now we again have, silence for a week. I am for a collaborative sourced on-line encyclopedia. But is there something in this collaborative process I am missing?

Greetings, I see that you've edited the Architecture of Chicago page. It looks like the clickable image of the skyline there is more current then the image of the Chicago skyline that appears on most building pages, like here. Not sure when the latter image was taken, but I don't see the Trump Tower Chicago on the recurring image. Do you know how that could be updated? Not sure how to find out who created the original. Thanks. Bangabandhu ( talk) 14:44, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Chicago-style politics (meme) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicago-style politics (meme) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. I'm notifying you because you had an opinion regarding the similar Chicago-style politics page. It seems the new page is redundant at best. Springee ( talk) 17:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Per your question in this edit summary: That's generally been the way we've done intros for all buildings at WP:NRHP (Or at least me). Since WP:LEADPARAGRAPH says the first graf should "establish the context in which the topic is being considered by supplying the set of circumstances or facts that surround it. If appropriate, it should give the location and time." To me, that means you give the "vital statistics", as it were, first, and answer the "five questions" when applicable: What is this? Where is it? Who designed or built it? (not really known in this case, so not relevant to the lead graf)? Why is it important? And how did it get to be that way?
Answering all those questions in a single graf would have made it really long (Some people here seem to like things that way ... I don't; it's not easy on the reader, especially if they're reading on a phone). So I put the basics in the first graf, up to its earlier landmark listings, and then use the second graf to give the context that leads up to the NHL designation (the why and how). See LEADPARAGRAPH again: "[U]se the first sentence to introduce the topic, and then spread the relevant information out over the entire lead." (Since you seem to do a lot of Chicago-related stuff, I'd note that Chicago Board of Trade Building, an FA, doesn't describe the building as an NHL right off the bat either).
Basically, I think, we want two things of a lead section: First, to give a quick executive summary or abstract of the article for someone who wants the important stuff and has neither the time nor the inclination to read the whole thing (Imagine someone standing on North Crilly Court, waiting for someone, looking casually at some app that uses GPS to recommend wiki articles about things in their immediate vicinity (they do exist)) This article's the first one to come up and, given that they're waiting for someone, what will they want to know that they can read before being interrupted? That goes in the intro.
As MOS:INTRO says, "The lead is the first part of the article most people read, and many only read the lead." So it should be written with that in mind, as if it were an entirely separate written work.
Second, as that goes on to say, in its intro, "Consideration should be given to creating interest in reading more of the article". So by not giving everything important in the first graf of the lead, I think, we send the reader the message that there's a good story here and you might want to take the time, if you've got it, to read it at length.
Also, I noticed in one of your earlier edits that you changed the bit about "first gay periodicals" to "first gay rights periodicals". The NHL application is quite clear about the former. That doesn't mean they're Moses-down-from-the-mountain right, of course, but if that's a mistake then we'd need to some sourcing (or a note) on the earlier ones the NHL nomination writers and researchers missed.

BTW, I like how the intro has turned out between the two of us. So ...

You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.
Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.).

Thanks for your support at Talk:United States#Area in square miles. The discussion proceeds as last year, with TFD misreading my sources and providing no sources of his own. Unlike last year, he has not begun reverting on the article mainspace.
But TFD has now at Territories of the United States attempted to remove the section I wrote on 21st century territories, claiming they were “random collection of facts used to argue territories are part of U.S.” I have opened a discussion section at Talk:Territories of the United States/Archive 1#21st century (current) territories. Please give a look to see if I have overstepped. I mean only to properly lay out one side of the argument, appropriately sourced, and allow for inclusion of both sides, appropriately sourced.
I understand that there are those who believe the U.S. territories are not a part of the U.S., --- though they are represented by Members of Congress (Delegate, Commissioner) chosen by U.S. federal elections and are "native-born" Americans according to the U.S. Census classification. In the 21st century, islanders have mutually agreed with the Congress to be a part of the U.S. by referendum. But regardless of whether you find that persuasive, I believe I should get a fair hearing, and both sides should be properly sourced. Thanks in advance for any contribution you would want to make. TheVirginiaHistorian ( talk) 06:56, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps a footnote such as recommended by you could be in order to accommodate the territorial excluders, -- to the effect that a) the states and DC alone are reported as having an area of 3,796,742 sq.mi., but leave the 3.80 million sq.mi. in the article mainspace intro and 3,805,927 sq.mi. in the info box. Would you see if that footnote proposal could calm the waters towards a consensus here for geographic area? -- OR would you prefer b) the 3,796,742 sq.mi. in the info box and a footnote for total area of 3,805,927 sq.mi. to include the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and "Island Areas”?

The wall of text at Talk:United States is generated by my interpreting TFD as good faith inquiry into the subject. I suppose some would consider TFDs comments a form of wp:disruption as I sometimes do, but part of me answers as a retired school teacher responding to belligerent questioning as an opportunity to reinforce the lesson with additional sources, part of me responds to my child at four years repeatedly asking Why? to each response without any discussion contribution of her own. I think my extended commenting to answer straw man arguments is technically called “feeding the trolls”. But my posts are 1/3 to 1/4 shorter than last year’s...in part because my sourcing is better and the use of single brackets.

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "United States". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 25 December 2014.

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning United States, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/United States, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

With a week gone by and no response to Sunray's request for further comments, just so you know, Dispute resolution in March 2013 came down to familiar names and phrasing [1].
Consensus discussion led by Mendaliv on United States Talk page included this exchange,
With TFD adamantly opposing, the 2-1 majority in the dispute resolution relented (two for including territories dropped out of the process), the process failed on the discussion page thereafter, following multiple mainspace reversions to exclude the territories. —
You will notice how very close this last draft language is to our mediated Proposal Y, which Golbez once "endorsed", while TFD's good faith concession in mediation is a restatement of his 2013 position without supporting scholarly sources for his non-sequiturs, then silence. And now we again have, silence for a week. I am for a collaborative sourced on-line encyclopedia. But is there something in this collaborative process I am missing?

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Ulysses S. Grant". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 5 June 2015.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Hello. The proposed decision for the American politics 2 arbitration case, which you are listed to as a party, has been posted. Thank you, -- L235 ( t / c / ping in reply) via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 03:32, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Ulysses S. Grant, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Ulysses S. Grant, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

Of course you have the option of deleting your talk page text without responding but, again, I am trying to reduce wp:drama on the talk page. You make a connection between the caption of the infobox photo and the title of the segment of content below. Was this something that you had clearly in mind when you made the edit or was your edit more as a reaction to the "Rodham" being removed from the main infobox heading? I think that we need to work together so as to develop coherent content without the involvement of other goals. Greg Kaye 05:53, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Regarding this evidence you presented: note that the action in question was due to a violation of a specific topic ban for the editor, and not under the authorization of discretionary general sanctions in the topic area. isaacl ( talk) 20:28, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
In these edits, you've added links to an editing restriction and its enforcement provision, but in both cases immediately after sentences that refer to discretionary sanctions, which is a bit contradictory.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Chicago-style politics (meme) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicago-style politics (meme) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. I'm notifying you because you had an opinion regarding the similar Chicago-style politics page. It seems the new page is redundant at best. Springee ( talk) 17:30, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Per your question in this edit summary: That's generally been the way we've done intros for all buildings at WP:NRHP (Or at least me). Since WP:LEADPARAGRAPH says the first graf should "establish the context in which the topic is being considered by supplying the set of circumstances or facts that surround it. If appropriate, it should give the location and time." To me, that means you give the "vital statistics", as it were, first, and answer the "five questions" when applicable: What is this? Where is it? Who designed or built it? (not really known in this case, so not relevant to the lead graf)? Why is it important? And how did it get to be that way?
Answering all those questions in a single graf would have made it really long (Some people here seem to like things that way ... I don't; it's not easy on the reader, especially if they're reading on a phone). So I put the basics in the first graf, up to its earlier landmark listings, and then use the second graf to give the context that leads up to the NHL designation (the why and how). See LEADPARAGRAPH again: "[U]se the first sentence to introduce the topic, and then spread the relevant information out over the entire lead." (Since you seem to do a lot of Chicago-related stuff, I'd note that Chicago Board of Trade Building, an FA, doesn't describe the building as an NHL right off the bat either).
Basically, I think, we want two things of a lead section: First, to give a quick executive summary or abstract of the article for someone who wants the important stuff and has neither the time nor the inclination to read the whole thing (Imagine someone standing on North Crilly Court, waiting for someone, looking casually at some app that uses GPS to recommend wiki articles about things in their immediate vicinity (they do exist)) This article's the first one to come up and, given that they're waiting for someone, what will they want to know that they can read before being interrupted? That goes in the intro.
As MOS:INTRO says, "The lead is the first part of the article most people read, and many only read the lead." So it should be written with that in mind, as if it were an entirely separate written work.
Second, as that goes on to say, in its intro, "Consideration should be given to creating interest in reading more of the article". So by not giving everything important in the first graf of the lead, I think, we send the reader the message that there's a good story here and you might want to take the time, if you've got it, to read it at length.
Also, I noticed in one of your earlier edits that you changed the bit about "first gay periodicals" to "first gay rights periodicals". The NHL application is quite clear about the former. That doesn't mean they're Moses-down-from-the-mountain right, of course, but if that's a mistake then we'd need to some sourcing (or a note) on the earlier ones the NHL nomination writers and researchers missed. Daniel Case ( talk) 14:10, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
BTW, I like how the intro has turned out between the two of us. So ...
