Thanks for creating List of journalists in New York City, Castncoot!
Wikipedia editor DGG just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Please remember that these lists are supposed to contain only those people notable enough for WP articles. I have not removed the others, because many of those listed there but without articles should probably notable enough for articles to be written. The most helpful thing you could do at this point is to write articles for them; pattern them after the similar ones that have already been written,

Castncoot, your creation of WP:COATRACK list articles and making WP:COATRACKs of existing lists is indeed problematic. Please see WP:WTAF. If you continue edit-warring to include non-articles in lists, you will probably end up reported to administrators and possibly end up topic-banned from lists.

Good afternoon. I do now recall talking about this; I had completely forgotten about it. I really cannot see why the Earth map is needed for a New York borough. They’re essentially areas within the city and probably don’t even need a pushpin map at all, if someone wanted to know where New York was, they could just go to that article.

I'm fine with the article as it is now. That was collateral damage of a mass revert of a large number of edits by the previous editor, who was introducing errors in the settlement_type
parameter of {{
infobox settlement}} in articles on every US capital city. (I tried to exclude any edits from the reversion that did not introduce that issue, but apparently a few were included.) Unfortunately, I can't control whether the tool applies the minor edit flag or not.

Greetings, I saw your fine work on New York City where you added an interactive map. I'm hoping you could give me a clue as to how to do this, or should I check in with @ Epicgenius:? Is there some doc on this?

This edit, in the article for Bergen County, New Jersey, added claims re growth of the Filipino and Korean populations of Fair Lawn from 2010 to 2017. I had reverted the same claims in the Fair Lawn article, noting that the 2010 Census shows 626 Filipino and 389 Korean, while the 2013-2017 ACS shows 952 Filipino and 356 Korean. Percentages of growth -- Korean tripling and Filipino doubling -- don't match the values in the respective sources. Am I missing something.

Hello Castncoot -
Your new article, List of self-identifying LGBTQ New Yorkers has somehow or other come to my attention. Per BLP, all of the entries need to have a link to the self-identification of these individuals. I know you have put a lot of work into this list, and rather than following the strict letter of the BLP policy (which would probably require deleting the list), I'm going to move it to your personal userspace to give you some time to add the links to the self-identification. While you're at it, I'd also suggest that you link to a confirmation that the person is, in fact, a resident of New York City. (You may need to expand your criteria somewhat to include those who work in NYC, as I suspect some of those individuals may have a primary residence elsewhere.) This is in no way prejudicial to the article being returned to mainspace once the citations are complete. Risker ( talk) 02:01, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
To make sure we're both clear here - the objective is to have the list properly referenced with respect to confirming that the individuals included have publicly identified that they have an LGBT orientation, at a minimum; there should also be evidence that the individual lives and/or works in NYC, although this is often included in the same reference. I don't have an opinion on whether or not the article would withstand a challenge at AFD, should someone bring it forward, and that's not the objective of getting the list referenced; right now, the objective is just to get it to meet the minimal BLP threshold. I can't help wondering if the list is so long that it should logically be broken down differently (e.g., multiple articles, using tables instead of free text, or some other format). I'm estimating there are 300 entries on the list, which is very long for this style of list. It's also prone to a lot of expansion, because there's no way this is a list of all the notable "out" people from NYC who have a Wikipedia article, which likely numbers in the thousands, given the size of NYC, the number of notable people there, and the comparative openness of the LGBT community there. That is something to think about in the "middle distance" though. Risker ( talk) 06:51, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

I saw your comments here. After all of the work that you have put into the page, I can understand the level of passion that you have for keeping the article. I might suggest, however, that after you've taken a walk around the block (or similar), you might want to moderate the tone a little bit. Perhaps consider asking the OP what they'd suggest be done to improve or modify the article. I'm not the best person to comment on the AfD; I don't have a lot of expertise in the standards for lists (generally speaking), or in this topic area. I have, however, asked someone who has more knowledge in both areas to take an independent look at the page. Risker ( talk) 04:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Castncoot! First, I want to say I think you've done a great job with List of self-identified LGBTQ New Yorkers. Keep up the good work!
I also want to point out one small thing. I've seen you make edits like
this one to several articles, and I want to let you know that that goes against Wikipedia style guidelines. You can read at
Template:Infobox person that the birth_place
and residence
parameters take their arguments in the form city, administrative region, country
. Therefore, Manhattan, New York, U.S.
is correct, while Manhattan, New York City
is not. Please remember to use city, administrative region, country
in the future :-) Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

(Whoops! Just to correct myself, I meant that New York CIty, New York, U.S.
is what should go in the infobox, since the first entry needs to be a city, and Manhattan is just a borough. It's certainly right to be specific and mention that the person lives in Manhattan in the article, but in the infobox, only city-state-country is written for U.S. subjects.)

They have all narrowbody aircrafts with Mumbai to New York or Delhi to New York is about 12,000km+ or 6000+ nautical miles. And thus, American Airlines codeshare with IndiGo for the Indian domestic flights. It doesn't mean that Indigo have already direct flight to New York.

Hey there,
I'm not sure if these edits were made in error, but I've undone your recent moves of List of tallest buildings in Melbourne → List of tallest buildings in Melbourne. Australia and List of tallest buildings in Sydney → List of tallest buildings in Sydney. Australia. Aside from being incorrectly formatted (eg. Melbourne. Australia would need to be Melbourne, Australia) both Melbourne and Sydney are already recognised as the primary topics of their respective names, as they're quite obviously the two most notable in the world to carry those names, being the two largest capital cities of Australia. Hence, there is no need to clarify to the reader whether we're referring to Melbourne/Sydney in Australia, or another Melbourne/Sydney elsewhere... it should be assumed to be the former. More so, the changes were inconsistent. Thank you, — MelbourneStar☆ talk 05:22, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi Castncoot. I'm wondering if the image montage of Indians in the region needs some cleanup.

Thanks for your linkage additions to this page, which improve the article. I noticed you added "Further information: Hindu Temple Society of North America" and have highlighted it in the History section. However, as stated in the History section and according to reliable, verifiable sources, this temple is not the oldest Hindu temple in the U.S. - it is the second oldest Hindu temple built by Indian immigrants. Highlighting the oldest temple in the History section does improve the article, so I will replace it with the correct entry. I will remove the further information links to the Flushing temple, as its page only provides additional information on that temple, not on the "List of Hindu temples in the United States." Thanks again.

You and I had a difference of opinion about the ranking you added to the article for Monroe Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey in this edit (among others). I believe that some rankings (e.g. Money's Best Places to Live) are encyclopedic but that many (if not most) others don't merit inclusion, no matter who reported on the survey, and that the one you added did not merit addition to the article.
I raised the issue on the US Cities talk page here and was immediately referred to a recent RfC conducted at Talk:Chanhassen,_Minnesota#Request_for_Comment_-_Should_the_'Best_Place_to_Live_in_the_U.S.'_rankings_be_included?, where the clearest possible consensus was that the answer was that none of these rankings should be included. I'm not sure that I would have voted the same way, but I think that there is no support for a ranking by a no-name entity like MoneyGeek, even if the survey and ranking were reported in an otherwise reliable source like the one you used.
I think that this addresses the issue of inclusion at Monroe Township pretty conclusively with a resounding "No!". Do you have any thoughts on this with the benefit of the additional input? Alansohn ( talk) 15:55, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

@ Castncoot: I will add this suggestion that may work, because I can tell you’re really genuinely to improve the encyclopedia, and I’d love to see you contribute in ways that are beneficial for both you, the editors, and the readers.
Can you think of any American theater plays that are very famous and world-renowned? And if the average person outside the US with an average general population interest and knowledge of theater saw an image of the play being performed, they’d immediately think, “oh that’s American!” I think that’s a good starting point that you can work from individually. If you find specific images, match them up against the various “tests” and criteria discussed, and if you’re still unsure, make a new thread on the United States talk page titled “Proposed image for theater section” for community discussion. I hope this helps, good luck! Mrbeastmodeallday ( talk) 07:54, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I removed your inserted mention of drought from the Silicon Valley article. The main focus of the Silicon Valley article is the high-tech sector, not larger climatic issues. Drought is important to several other articles including the geographically oriented Santa Clara Valley article where you also inserted it, and any other metropolitan area article such as Santa Clara County, California. Please note that putting new information in the lead section should be accompanied by a fuller treatment of that information in the body of the article, per WP:LEAD.

Good afternoon. I do now recall talking about this; I had completely forgotten about it. I really cannot see why the Earth map is needed for a New York borough.

This edit, in the article for Bergen County, New Jersey, added claims re growth of the Filipino and Korean populations of Fair Lawn from 2010 to 2017. I had reverted the same claims in the Fair Lawn article, noting that the 2010 Census shows 626 Filipino and 389 Korean, while the 2013-2017 ACS shows 952 Filipino and 356 Korean. Percentages of growth -- Korean tripling and Filipino doubling -- don't match the values in the respective sources. Am I missing something.

Hello Castncoot -
Your new article, List of self-identifying LGBTQ New Yorkers has somehow or other come to my attention. Per BLP, all of the entries need to have a link to the self-identification of these individuals. I know you have put a lot of work into this list, and rather than following the strict letter of the BLP policy (which would probably require deleting the list), I'm going to move it to your personal userspace to give you some time to add the links to the self-identification. While you're at it, I'd also suggest that you link to a confirmation that the person is, in fact, a resident of New York City. (You may need to expand your criteria somewhat to include those who work in NYC, as I suspect some of those individuals may have a primary residence elsewhere.) This is in no way prejudicial to the article being returned to mainspace once the citations are complete. Risker ( talk) 02:01, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
To make sure we're both clear here - the objective is to have the list properly referenced with respect to confirming that the individuals included have publicly identified that they have an LGBT orientation, at a minimum; there should also be evidence that the individual lives and/or works in NYC, although this is often included in the same reference. I don't have an opinion on whether or not the article would withstand a challenge at AFD, should someone bring it forward, and that's not the objective of getting the list referenced; right now, the objective is just to get it to meet the minimal BLP threshold. I can't help wondering if the list is so long that it should logically be broken down differently (e.g., multiple articles, using tables instead of free text, or some other format). I'm estimating there are 300 entries on the list, which is very long for this style of list. It's also prone to a lot of expansion, because there's no way this is a list of all the notable "out" people from NYC who have a Wikipedia article, which likely numbers in the thousands, given the size of NYC, the number of notable people there, and the comparative openness of the LGBT community there. That is something to think about in the "middle distance" though. Risker ( talk) 06:51, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

I saw your comments here. After all of the work that you have put into the page, I can understand the level of passion that you have for keeping the article. I might suggest, however, that after you've taken a walk around the block (or similar), you might want to moderate the tone a little bit. Perhaps consider asking the OP what they'd suggest be done to improve or modify the article. I'm not the best person to comment on the AfD; I don't have a lot of expertise in the standards for lists (generally speaking), or in this topic area. I have, however, asked someone who has more knowledge in both areas to take an independent look at the page. Risker ( talk) 04:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Castncoot! First, I want to say I think you've done a great job with List of self-identified LGBTQ New Yorkers. Keep up the good work!
I also want to point out one small thing. I've seen you make edits like
this one to several articles, and I want to let you know that that goes against Wikipedia style guidelines. You can read at
Template:Infobox person that the birth_place
and residence
parameters take their arguments in the form city, administrative region, country
. Therefore, Manhattan, New York, U.S.
is correct, while Manhattan, New York City
is not. Please remember to use city, administrative region, country
in the future :-) Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

(Whoops! Just to correct myself, I meant that New York CIty, New York, U.S.
is what should go in the infobox, since the first entry needs to be a city, and Manhattan is just a borough. It's certainly right to be specific and mention that the person lives in Manhattan in the article, but in the infobox, only city-state-country is written for U.S. subjects.)

Hey there,
I'm not sure if these edits were made in error, but I've undone your recent moves of List of tallest buildings in Melbourne → List of tallest buildings in Melbourne. Australia and List of tallest buildings in Sydney → List of tallest buildings in Sydney. Australia. Aside from being incorrectly formatted (eg. Melbourne. Australia would need to be Melbourne, Australia) both Melbourne and Sydney are already recognised as the primary topics of their respective names, as they're quite obviously the two most notable in the world to carry those names, being the two largest capital cities of Australia. Hence, there is no need to clarify to the reader whether we're referring to Melbourne/Sydney in Australia, or another Melbourne/Sydney elsewhere... it should be assumed to be the former. More so, the changes were inconsistent. Thank you, — MelbourneStar☆ talk 05:22, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

I noticed you added "Further information: Hindu Temple Society of North America" and have highlighted it in the History section. However, as stated in the History section and according to reliable, verifiable sources, this temple is not the oldest Hindu temple in the U.S. - it is the second oldest Hindu temple built by Indian immigrants. Highlighting the oldest temple in the History section does improve the article, so I will replace it with the correct entry. I will remove the further information links to the Flushing temple, as its page only provides additional information on that temple, not on the "List of Hindu temples in the United States." Thanks again.

You and I had a difference of opinion about the ranking you added to the article for Monroe Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey in this edit (among others). I believe that some rankings (e.g. Money's Best Places to Live) are encyclopedic but that many (if not most) others don't merit inclusion, no matter who reported on the survey, and that the one you added did not merit addition to the article.
I raised the issue on the US Cities talk page here and was immediately referred to a recent RfC conducted at Talk:Chanhassen,_Minnesota#Request_for_Comment_-_Should_the_'Best_Place_to_Live_in_the_U.S.'_rankings_be_included?, where the clearest possible consensus was that the answer was that none of these rankings should be included. I'm not sure that I would have voted the same way, but I think that there is no support for a ranking by a no-name entity like MoneyGeek, even if the survey and ranking were reported in an otherwise reliable source like the one you used.
I think that this addresses the issue of inclusion at Monroe Township pretty conclusively with a resounding "No!". Do you have any thoughts on this with the benefit of the additional input? Alansohn ( talk) 15:55, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Articles with many images will time out on mobile versions of Wikipedia. Ideally, a page should have no more than 100 images (regardless of how small). See
MediaWiki:Limit number of images in a page.

Also bear in mind that any disputed or controversial decisions pertaining to the United States article need to be run through community discussion via that article talk page to hash things out. Mrbeastmodeallday ( talk) 07:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@ Castncoot: I will add this suggestion that may work, because I can tell you’re really genuinely to improve the encyclopedia, and I’d love to see you contribute in ways that are beneficial for both you, the editors, and the readers.
Can you think of any American theater plays that are very famous and world-renowned? And if the average person outside the US with an average general population interest and knowledge of theater saw an image of the play being performed, they’d immediately think, “oh that’s American!” I think that’s a good starting point that you can work from individually. If you find specific images, match them up against the various “tests” and criteria discussed, and if you’re still unsure, make a new thread on the United States talk page titled “Proposed image for theater section” for community discussion. I hope this helps, good luck! Mrbeastmodeallday ( talk) 07:54, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Here are some WP lists that I think are a very good starting point you can look into for image ideas:

I removed your inserted mention of drought from the Silicon Valley article. The main focus of the Silicon Valley article is the high-tech sector, not larger climatic issues. Drought is important to several other articles including the geographically oriented Santa Clara Valley article where you also inserted it, and any other metropolitan area article such as Santa Clara County, California. Please note that putting new information in the lead section should be accompanied by a fuller treatment of that information in the body of the article, per WP:LEAD. That means the Santa Clara Valley article is now in violation of LEAD, until someone composes a paragraph or two about the drought situation in the article body.

Regarding your 21:01, 28 June 2022 edit in the Dyke March article: if an article has an established citation style, editors need to follow it — see WP:CITEVAR re "it is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor or adopted by the consensus of editors already working on the page, unless a change in consensus has been achieved." Also please read Bare URLs. Thank you. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 11:56, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
