You deleted information in Lancaster County wikipedia entry saying it is POV and unverifiable. Which sections are unverifiable and/or POV? For the sake of discussion, please point out which of the following sentences are POV or unverifiable/untrue:
"Lancaster County's politics have often not been in sync with the rest of Pennsylvania or with the Northeast as a whole. Even when Pennsylvania strongly supported Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party, Lancaster was something of a Whig Party stronghold. The town and township of Clay are even named after the famous Whig politician Henry Clay. Lancaster supported the Presidential candidacy of native son (and Democrat) James Buchanan in 1856, but has been a Republican stronghold ever since, in spite of the many shifts in party loyalties and geographic bases across the US as a whole in the past 150 years. Thaddeus Stevens, the noted Radical Republican, was Lancaster's representative in the House of Representatives until his death in 1868."
It would seem to me that politics would be a minor part of a general description of Lancaster County. It would seem that a very long table listing every single state and federal representative would be overkill.
I didn't write the section about political history. I just happened to read it and to me it was interesting. The township Clay being named after Henry Clay? Lancaster being Whig, while Pennsylvania supported Andrew Jackson? Thaddeus Stevens being a member of 4 political parties being from Lancaster?
Then I saw that section replaced with a long table simply listing current politicans, with the interesting stuff deleted, I was suprised. I'm all for refrences and verifying data, and will search for sources to list to back up this data.
Thanks for the feedback, references added to piece. User:Civicsight
Thanks for suggestion of using a NPOV tag on the Fingerprinting discussion. I inserted the paragraph that had been eliminated and no one has removed, so that now it is reasonabley balanced. I guess I just have to monitor it since those with professional interests in exagerating the accuracy of their forensic evidence would like this dose of reality to go away Arodb 17:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
The PR guys for the fingerprinting expert witness association are not going away. They keep reverting my version that discusses the controversy over the validity of fingerprinting as forensic evidence. I need some help in getting arbitration on this.

G'day Clair, was wondering if you'd be interested in joining the latest footy project we have going on, WikiProject AFL. Cheers, Rogerthat 06:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
That was a very nice addition you made to the article, but it really cries out for references. Could you please list your sources in a References section at thye bottom of the article. Don't worry about the format, just provide enough information so that others can identify the source. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability as well. -- Dalbury( Talk) 12:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi. You did a nice job on the article for Bill "Tiger" Johnson. There're a lot of sources that he attended Tyler Junior College, but could you tell me where you got the information that he attended Stephen F. Austin State University? I haven't been able to find anything about that on the internet. This site indicates that he played college football at Texas A&M, though both could be true.

Hello ClairSamoht. I noticed that you did not cite any sources in your Harry Baals article. After a few Google searches, it seems that a number of sentences in the articles are very similar to those in some exernal sites.

I've started a page with a more comprehensive list of vegetable oils. I think it would benefit from a bit of structure, but I'm not sure what would work best. We could classify them by source (almond oil, walnut oil and cashew oil all seem to go together...), or by use, or... Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome. Waitak 16:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I realize that I'm courting an intervention here... ("back away from the keyboard, sir...") but I, um... kind of kept working on it... a little... I mean, at first it was only an image or two... and then I thought, some comments on the references wouldn't really hurt anybody... it was all in good fun, honest. Then I noticed that there was a lot of red on the page, so I started on... page redirects. Yes, it's true. I made redirects for all of the oil pages that aren't written yet. That's not even the worst of it. I even started [1] using references! Anyway, you can look at the results for yourself. It may be too late for me, but maybe others can be spared my sad fate.

I've recently written Ben oil and Amaranth oil. I also spruced up Behenic acid a bit. My general plan is to move through list of vegetable oils, replacing redirect pages with real pages on oils that don't already have one. I'm pretty far out of my depth here on these subjects, though. Mind taking a quick look to see if they're up to snuff? Your chemistry - and knowledge of fats and oils in particular - is way better than mine. Gotta say that I'm learning an awful lot doing this, though... Thanks! Waitak 12:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Wonderful! That's a great resource to have. I've moved it to its own article, since the existing list was focused on pressed oils, and had gotten pretty long. I'll have a closer look at the new list when I'm back in front of my own computer in another few hours. Thank you! -- Waitak 08:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I've been mulling over an idea for the last few days that I wanted to run by you. There are a lot of articles surrounding the general topic of vegetable oils:
And probably others that I'm not thinking of right now. What would you think of a "section template" that could get added to all of them, as a first step toward tying the whole sorry lot together? The template would go into the top right hand corner of all of the related articles. I realize that it'd all benefit from a reorganization, but that wouldn't be any harder for having put the existing articles into some sort of order.
Here's a first draft of what it might look like: {{ Vegetable oils}}
What do you think? -- Waitak 08:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that link - are youi interested in starting a stub or at least correcting the disambig bit? SatuSuro 07:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Someone's removed the essential oil links from the template that I was chatting with you about, saying that essential oil isn't oil. I reverted the changes pending a discussion (but left the template out of Essential oil) for the moment. I'd love to have your view on the question. I've started a talk page so that interested parties can discuss it. -- Waitak 15:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
That's an excellent idea. I was trying to look over the whole cluster of articles from the point of view of somebody who cares about something other than vegetable oil (fat). I can see the point, in part, but I'm not sure what to do about it. I think the disambiguation is a good start, anyway. What do you think of the name change of the template? Oh, and I heartily approve of you not learning anything further about divorce. 8-o I've been married almost 27 years now. -- Waitak 13:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Why don't you check with the city of Fort Wayne building department. The building was set to be leased when upon further inspection it was found that there was mold growing in the building. The reason, the new owner of the building turned off the air flow to save money. The building has a very wet crawl space and because of the lack of air flow mold grew on most of the inside walls.

You made an edit stating that Granite had defaulted on its June 1st 2006 payment. This is not true. Actually, they were able to make the payment through a "Senior credit facility". This was kind of a short term loan that made the June payment. But they have to pay it back short term as well. This is where the problem lies right now. They thought with the sale of the San Franscisco station they would pay the short term loan. In any case, as part of an agreement with their creditors they have gone into a restructing agreement which has be done by the end of August. It's complicated but if you go into their stock quotes and look at all the newswire and disclosures you can figure it out. It certainly looks like bankruptcy and it is agreed by most that that may be the next step. This is a mandatory process that resembles bankrupcy but is not legally bankrupcy.

I just took a quick look and it seems fine - I made a minor edit (got the refs to list by number - removed the asterisk) and I changed the rating to B (next is Good Article, but that is a separate process that has to be submitted to WP:GA). Two quick ideas - can the businesses be moved to either a separate "list of" article or maybe put in a paragraph (not a list)? Also I would rather have the list of cities, boroughs, Twps, and CDPs back in the article and the nav box (template) gone if I had to choose. I will look at it more closely and try to add the decennial census figures (from 1900 on tonight). Ruhrfisch 12:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

D'Oh!!!! Thanks for catching my error on the Quick Facts racial data being from 2004. Someday I must learn to read. I like the new Tourism section on Lancaster County - do you want me to add a few sentences on rivers and railroads (besides Strasburg RR on the tourist trap part)? I also wondered if we could get pictures of some of the unique rural things you mentioned (the buggy stand at WalMart, etc.)? I can look in Commons or could ask on WikiProject PA if anyone is near to get a picture... Take care, Ruhrfisch 21:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I like the expanded history section - one question, the Wyoming Massacre link is to the July 3, 1778 massacre, not the 1760's one. I am not sure if Paxton, PA should link to Paxtang, PA or one of the Paxton Townships in Dauphin County (they split the original Paxton Twp into Upper, Middle, and Lower Twps.) (and that sentence in the article needs to be cleaned up a bit). I like the census data - congrats for finding it online. I also like the chart comparing population growth you made, but would identify the US vs LC by color in the caption. I am still working on rivers and transportation (rail and highway).
I am not sure what else to photograph - you had mentioned the cow cam and auctions too. Are there common images - a buggy along a road? Some of the food you mentioned? I put a Fraktur image in, and there are others that could be added to the article. There is one of the Paxton Boys massacre already on WP for that part, or several possible on WP of Buchanan or Stevens or Wheatland. Whatever you photograph, don't 'shoot' Cheney either - he shoots back ;-). Ruhrfisch 04:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I've thrown in the towel on the Plant oils/ Vegetable oils issue. I've basically become convinced that there isn't an ideal solution, and this one is less likely to attract flak than most of the others. Sigh.

There are now 52 pages linking to the template including the state project page, so I think they're all in. I noticed that you split the fields in the files based on the quotes rather than commas. Numbers less than 1000 aren't in quotes, so these numbers get missed. Not a big deal, but for instance District of Columbia#Demographics should list around 0.14% for NHPI. CSV parsing modules like this one could be used. If the numbers are parsed right, it leads to another question. It may be interesting that hispanic NHPI forms .03% of DC, but it might be misleading to note this grew -34% (176 to 115). Perhaps the $base should be at least 200 or 500 ? Gimmetrow 17:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diligence | ||
To ClairSamoht: for diligent and numerous contributions of the highest quality to a wide variety of articles, especially Lancaster County and Pennsylvania, and for building a better encyclopedia by constantly adding references and removing unreferenced junk. Given in grateful admiration by Ruhrfisch 02:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC) |
If confirmation can be found that this is linked to the Philadelphia and Columbia, it would actually make the perfect transition. "As one of the first railroads in Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia and Columbia was not universally welcomed. It was bitterly opposed by many local farmers for destroying the wagoning business, ruining the farms it crossed, and bringing in rowdy Irish immigrants as construction laborers, circumstances commemerated in the folksong The Wagoner's Curse on the Railroad. Among the peculiarities of railroading in those early days was that the railroad was regarded as a sort of public highway..." (Then go on to mention the use of horses on the P&C until 1844.) The picture is great — after all, the Strasburg Railroad is probably Lancaster County's most famous railroad. Choess 04:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello CS: I have posted a discussion topic on Talk: Minnesota concerning the demographics table you added by your recent edit. Would you care to weigh in on it?

It is easy to get burnt out - a break (even reduced activity) is good to both recharge your batteries and to allow some perspective / distance on articles (after not looking much at something for a week or so, I am amazed at what I find to clean up). It is also good to find things you really like to do - for me that is making creek articles or making them better. The two starts I made last night took me less than an hour but did me a world of good. Take care and take care of yourself, Ruhrfisch 12:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I can work on it, it is just that it has to go on a backburner for now. I also worry as most of the paths would be redlinks needing stubs (like the LC PA Route highway stubs haunting my dreams). Plus I have Lycoming County path starts to write or fix ( Wyalusing trail is pure copyvio from Wallace's book). If I make a paths article, my understanding is that a summary (a few sentences) is left in the article if there is a see bigger article tag.
I am leaning more towards 2 articles for the 2 Conewagos - thanks for your offer to institute a merge, but I think I will decline. I am frazzled. More later, Ruhrfisch 03:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Since I deleted much of what was, no doubt, an exhaustively researched section about the many, many motor-sports arenas in Pennsylvania, and since you are among the most frequent editors of the Pennsylvania page, I figured it would be only fair of me to give an explanation.
In short, the Sport & Recreation section is, in my opinion, poorly written, and detracts from the page itself. It comes across as nothing more than a list of racetracks. A major rewrite is needed.
Some ideas:
I would create two sections; “Professional Sports” and “Recreation” (the two together is far too broad for a single section). I would do away with the table of professional teams – it’s a nice concept, but makes any subsequent discussion of the teams seem redundant. Instead I would have a paragraph that starts something like this:
Something along those lines. I would include a link to a list of professional sports teams in Pennsylvania, which would then include everything which is currently listed in the table.
As far as the motor-sports section, a claim that motor-sports are popular in the state deserves a citation. I dispute the idea that it is more popular than all of those other sports (Okay, I only dispute the idea that it is more poplar than Football). As far as the list of raceways goes, how about something like this:
We could do this with every notable raceway. That way, the list will be limited to only those notable enough to host marquee events, which would an easy test that would separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Again, we could if needed, include a link to all raceways in Pennsylvania.
Or we could do as you say about making a separate page for professional sports. Nonetheless, I would still have a few token words about them on the main page.
As for recreation, I would broaden the scope of it. Include not only amusement parks, but perhaps places like Allegheny National Forest, Ringing Rocks, the Civil War Museum, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Gettysburg, Presque Isle State Park, et cetera. There are tons of places like this in the state; hence why it is deserving on its own category.
Now, these are only a few ideas. I’m not throwing this all on you; as I get the time, I intend to work on rewriting this entire section. Don’t expect anything necessarily soon, but I will try to work on it when I can. I’ll probably do it in my Sandbox, so you can check my progress if you want.
I appreciate the fact that you want to make the Pennsylvania article the best it can be, and I also appreciate all of the effort you put into looking up all of those rinky-dink raceways and the like. Your efforts are laudable, and you deserve thanks for all of your highly constructive edits. However, this article needs a thoughtful look at Sport and Recreation, not a big fat list that blurs together upon reading it.
Keep up the good work. "Country" Bushrod Washington 05:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I can appreciate your desire to add information to the article, but why did you remove the section that discussed historical black majorities in southern states? This is entirely valid information, and I would appreciate if you would restore it. Cheers! bd2412 T 05:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
You rv'ed my minor edit to the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania page, saying "That reference doesn't support the fact that he was mennonite, but that it's the oldest surviving building." But the reference in question, http://www.hansherr.org/, says in its first content paragraph: "Both Hans Herr and Christian Herr were bishops of the Mennonite faith." Could you please explain (or undo) your speedy deletion in light of this? -- ScottMainwaring 19:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Glad to copyedit JA (and LC schools) a bit and hope I did not mess anything up. I might try rewording the JA use of pack animals / conversion sentence as the way it is now worded seems to me to be a bit too close to Original Research. I originally did more copy edits and got an edit conflict so I just went back and did the most memorable ones section by section - I will take a look at it again when I can and see if anything else could use a pass of the editing sandpaper to smooth its edges (one time being abrasive is good). Sorry to be slow responding - conked out last night and feel as if I am getting a cold now. Take care, Ruhrfisch 21:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Why do you keep reverting to remove the link to the film of the same name ( Johnny Appleseed (film)? The alternative would be to have Johnny Appleseed as a dab page, with links to what would become Johnny Appleseed (person) and Johnny Appleseed (film)... but a simple "see also" would seem to be the best approach, I feel. Robwingfield ( talk) 15:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
...I am very pleased and quite surprised to hear that, as I usually consider myself a rather "too fast shooter" and a stubborn person, and I found it rather hard to express my intentions clearly in this very discussion and not have them obscured by the overabundance of detail. I was also wondering whether you have been reading the last fragment of my discussion with Pschemp - I admit I was quite upset by her tone and behavior, and perhaps let the emotions take over... I decided to leave it like it is to see the reactions of the others, so what is yours? Bravada, talk - 03:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Could I ask you to Assume Good Faith? I've just noticed the following as a result of your AfD on Johnny Appleseed (2007 film):
I created the article as a result of looking at the main Johnny Appleseed article, and doing a small amount of research found that there was an upcoming film of the same name. IMDB lists the film as due for release next year. Maybe I didn't do enough research - I hold my hands up to that. I won't challenge the AfD as I actually agree with you, but what I don't appreciate is you vandalising the page, and making personal attacks as above - please see WP:NPA. I'm not a clown. I have no financial interest in the script. If you look at my user page, you'll see I'm a Systems Designer for a financial company. Not a film executive! I don't appreciate your personal comments above, so please could you try to be a bit more civil in future, and actually explain to people why you disagree with what they've done, rather than just plough right over what they've done, then insult them behind their backs. Kind regards... Robwingfield ( talk) 09:00, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:ConestogaWS-logo.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:05, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
I will work on LC highway stubs next and put infoboxes on the LC creeks without them (although only Conestoga R. seems likely to have discharge info as it seems to be the only one with a USGS stream gauge). I got a Did You Know out of Conewago Creek (west), so that made up for some of the hassle of 1 vs 2 articles and what to name them. I will also put State Forest and state parks (Susquehannock) and State Game Lands on LC in a few sentences. Most of the Native American paths radiated out from the village of Conestoga, so that is how to start that section - will work on it too. Probably a paragraph on paths in LC and where they ultimately lead, with links to the articles detailing each path, esp. outside LC.
PedanticallySpeaking, founder of the Ohio Twp project, is checking the state register on Kelleys Island so we should know soon. Since the official Erie Co. page does not list it as a twp, I think it is at best a former twp now absorbed into the village. Take care, Ruhrfisch 15:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello again Clair,
Appreciating your no-fuss and principle-based approach to discussing Wikipedia policies, guidelines and such, as well as your tough stance on attempts to dilute the aims and principles of WP, I would like to invite you to join the discussion on the External Links guideline that is currently going on, and taking a dangerous course, being dominated by users wanting to relax rather than tighten the requirements regarding those and subject them even more to users' subjective decisions. As we see increasing amount of linkspam around, I believe there is a need for more users to take part in this discussion to prevent any changes in the guideline that would have potentially catastrophic consequences.
Regards, Bravada, talk - 04:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed your tag from the article. Before you slap it back on there, please explain on the talk page why you think the article has troubles. It5 may not be the best written article ... but I don't know if it has the NPOV problems you alleged. -- evrik 13:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Clair, a start at a Lancaster County Native American paths article / section is here. Comments are welcome - it would probably fit in the historical roads part of Choess' article on Transportation in LC (as I follow Wallace in trying to list modern highways that follow these paths). I still have a fair amount to add, but wanted some feedback. I also left this message on Choess' talk page. Take care, Ruhrfisch 04:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm curious why, when you reverted the recent vandalism to Jack Moran, you chose to revert my edits also? All I had done was to improve the formatting of the article, return the name John E. Moran (removed in an older act of vandalism), correct a couple of obvious errors, and make a few other unobjectionable additions. What was your rationale for undoing those changes? -- ShelfSkewed 13:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining what was going on with the Face value page. Very helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riedl ( talk • contribs)
Is quite insulting. Insinuating that scientists aren't writing articles with resources by their side is pretty ridiculous. I write with something close to 200 resources by my side. Demanding that we cite elementary facts is preposterous, presumptuous, and ignorant when one could find the fact in the majority of these references and they are listed at the bottom of the article. You have this fanciful vision that every Wikipedia editor should be paraphrasing and quoting sources when that's not how encyclopedic writing happens. Frankly, if you don't broaden your horizons and take a look at science and math articles at Wikipedia and how they are written, I don't think your comments deserve consideration. -- ScienceApologist 17:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Your recent actions delisting redshift from good articles and pasting noncompliance notices on science article talkpages are uncivil. Please stop |
-- ScienceApologist 21:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Adding that noncompliance tag or whatever you call it to article pages without specifying in the talk page what your objections are is absurd. Then you call its removal vandalism? In my view placing such an ugly tag on a stablized article with no discussion is closer to vandalism. Please explain - both here and on tha talk page of the article. Vsmith 23:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Homestarmy, the pages were delisted for violations of WP:V, and I've pointed out on the talk pages that the articles weren't meeting that standard. It's not that they aren't Good Articles, but that they aren't even acceptable articles.
The noncompliant tag warns readers that the article does NOT meet Wikipedia standards for content. It alerts editors that the article needs work. Both are highly admirable goals. The noncompliance tag is not disruptive of Wikipedia's goals; untrustworthy articles are, however. ClairSamoht - Help make Wikipedia the most authoritative source of information in the world 00:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I think you are clearly violating WP:POINT. I have noted this on the administrators' noticeboard. Please feel free to comment. – Joke 00:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I removed inappropriate tags that you placed on several articles. For instance, you placed {{ unsourced}} on Kentucky, which states that the article "does not cite its references or sources"; in fact, they are listed at Kentucky#References. I realize you would like to have extensive inline citations for all articles, and while that may be a criterion for good article or featured article status, it is certainly not a requirement for articles in general. Please do not misuse tags in this manner; support is clearly lacking for this position. — Knowledge Seeker দ 02:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Please don't use automated rollback [5] to revert anything but vandalism and your own edits. To rollback without an explanation simply because you disagree with an edit is considered rude. Thanks. -- W.marsh 02:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
The following is a quote from WP:VAND:
I have highlighted the pertinent line for your consideration. Vsmith 03:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Also, WP:VAND does not state that "removal of a dispute tag before resolving the problem is vandalism". Even if you believed so, it is abundantly clear from the edit summary of this edit that the editor was of the opinion that there was no problem, so you should have taken it to the talk page. Please try to be less blunt in your righteous quest for quality control. You have made many quality editors quite upset in a short period of time, and I do not think the net effect of your efforts improves the quality of Wikipedia. -- Lambiam Talk 13:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I am not defending what Clair did in removing Good Articles without discussing it first. I understand why people are upset, but I wanted to point some things out that seem not have been mentioned in all this.
I have worked with Clair and his passion for getting citations and references has improved my articles and made me a better editor (I plan to go back and add more / better refs to articles I have worked on before I was as careful about references as I now am). I also value his overall contributions to Wikipedia. For two examples discussed here and elsewhere, take a look at Pennsylvania or Lancaster County, Pennsylvania before Clair started working on them and compare their content now (I know some people feel they are over cited, but look at their content). They are much better articles for his work on them.
Finally, I checked 21 random articles (1 was a disambiguation, so I didn't count it). 70% had nothing labeled as a reference or footnote or source (of these 7 (35%) had no references or external links, 7 (35%) had only external links (but at least there's something outside the article referred to)). Of the 6 (30%) that had references, 4 (20%) had only one reference and 2 (10%) had two references. Some of the articles with refs also had external links, but I did not keep track of that. Given the fact that verifiability is supposed to be a key factor in Wikipedia articles, I think complaints about too many references are a bit misplaced, don't you? Ruhrfisch 16:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Yeah don't live Wikipedia over inline citations, your heart was in the right place. I hope you come back and contribute. -- W.marsh 00:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Clair, take a look at the first paragraph of the "Slavery and the Christiana Incident" section. The last sentence is missing a verb: "However, the situation (missing verb) when the Fugitive Slave Law was passed as part of the Compromise of 1850." It looks like you originally wrote this text, so I imagine you would be the best person to offer the most appropriate verb here. Richwales 17:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Clair - I have made a series of changes to Texas hold 'em and I have renominated it for a GA. I thought I'd let you know. Thanks again for all your help. --best, kevin kzollman][ talk 06:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Clair, thanks for the messages on my talk page. I keep thinking you are gone, so I'm not sure if you will read this (which is part of why I haven't written before). Thanks for the happy Yule/Christmas/Saturnalia wishes and the same to you too (I celebrate Christmas, but the others sound fun as well). In addition to this one, I watch a fair number of your pages (JA, LC and the school districts in it, plus the templates for these). Let me know if there are others you want me to keep an eye on.
My understanding is that Jimmy Wales just resigned as chair of the Wikimedia Foundation board, but is still a member of the board and is still associated with Wikipedia and its sister projects (see here). You are missed. Take care, Ruhrfisch 03:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Drano.jpg.

I have added a "{{

Dutch Wonderland, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Behold.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

"JerryP requested this picture replace unflattering one previously used."
For what it's worth. The "unflattering" picture was replaced 3 days ago, but if he wants to rip on me for trying to help, then I guess I won't anymore. If you're going to consider his statement a release under a free license, you might at least consider uploading the picture from
this page so the resolution isn't so horrible. --

Thanks for uploading Image:WebtvLogo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Another editor has added the {{
prod}}
template to the article
Nancy Nall Derringer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and
Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at
its talk page. If you remove the {{
prod}}
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thank you for uploading Image:MarianneWiggins.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 14:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Donald Kraybill (disambiguation), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Donald Kraybill (disambiguation) is a disambiguation page that only points to a single article, or no articles at all.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Donald Kraybill (disambiguation), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

The article Most restaurants per capita in the United States has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{
dated prod}}
will stop the
Proposed Deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hello ClairSamoht! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 778 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:StrasburgRR.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof ( talk) 04:36, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Minnewawa.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof ( talk) 04:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HarryBaals.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of US states by number of restaurants per capita. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of US states by number of restaurants per capita. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Good to see you pop your head up. We're doing a major overhaul of List of vegetable oils at the moment if you'd like to stick your oar in. The references have gotten a bit musty over the years, and some of them never were very good. It'll be good to get the list back up to the quality that it ought to be. Hope all's well.

Hello, I orphaned them and then deleted them ... adding this information to articles is a massive violation of the policy that Wikipedia is not a directory. Also, they were horrifically out-of-date and you have no right to presume (as you did in your edit summaries) that they would be updated every year, thus putting a maintenance burden other editors. I found these templates while cleaning up after edits by Raindrop73 and their IP's. Graham 87 08:22, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

You deleted information in Lancaster County wikipedia entry saying it is POV and unverifiable. Which sections are unverifiable and/or POV? For the sake of discussion, please point out which of the following sentences are POV or unverifiable/untrue:
"Lancaster County's politics have often not been in sync with the rest of Pennsylvania or with the Northeast as a whole. Even when Pennsylvania strongly supported Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party, Lancaster was something of a Whig Party stronghold. The town and township of Clay are even named after the famous Whig politician Henry Clay. Lancaster supported the Presidential candidacy of native son (and Democrat) James Buchanan in 1856, but has been a Republican stronghold ever since, in spite of the many shifts in party loyalties and geographic bases across the US as a whole in the past 150 years. Thaddeus Stevens, the noted Radical Republican, was Lancaster's representative in the House of Representatives until his death in 1868."
It would seem to me that politics would be a minor part of a general description of Lancaster County. It would seem that a very long table listing every single state and federal representative would be overkill.
I didn't write the section about political history. I just happened to read it and to me it was interesting. The township Clay being named after Henry Clay? Lancaster being Whig, while Pennsylvania supported Andrew Jackson? Thaddeus Stevens being a member of 4 political parties being from Lancaster?
Then I saw that section replaced with a long table simply listing current politicans, with the interesting stuff deleted, I was suprised. I'm all for refrences and verifying data, and will search for sources to list to back up this data.
Thanks for the feedback, references added to piece. User:Civicsight
Thanks for suggestion of using a NPOV tag on the Fingerprinting discussion. I inserted the paragraph that had been eliminated and no one has removed, so that now it is reasonabley balanced. I guess I just have to monitor it since those with professional interests in exagerating the accuracy of their forensic evidence would like this dose of reality to go away Arodb 17:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
The PR guys for the fingerprinting expert witness association are not going away. They keep reverting my version that discusses the controversy over the validity of fingerprinting as forensic evidence. I need some help in getting arbitration on this.

I've started a page with a more comprehensive list of vegetable oils. I think it would benefit from a bit of structure, but I'm not sure what would work best. We could classify them by source (almond oil, walnut oil and cashew oil all seem to go together...), or by use, or... Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome. Waitak 16:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I realize that I'm courting an intervention here... ("back away from the keyboard, sir...") but I, um... kind of kept working on it... a little... I mean, at first it was only an image or two... and then I thought, some comments on the references wouldn't really hurt anybody... it was all in good fun, honest. Then I noticed that there was a lot of red on the page, so I started on... page redirects. Yes, it's true. I made redirects for all of the oil pages that aren't written yet. That's not even the worst of it. I even started [1] using references! Anyway, you can look at the results for yourself. It may be too late for me, but maybe others can be spared my sad fate.

I've recently written Ben oil and Amaranth oil. I also spruced up Behenic acid a bit. My general plan is to move through list of vegetable oils, replacing redirect pages with real pages on oils that don't already have one. I'm pretty far out of my depth here on these subjects, though. Mind taking a quick look to see if they're up to snuff? Your chemistry - and knowledge of fats and oils in particular - is way better than mine. Gotta say that I'm learning an awful lot doing this, though... Thanks! Waitak 12:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Wonderful! That's a great resource to have. I've moved it to its own article, since the existing list was focused on pressed oils, and had gotten pretty long. I'll have a closer look at the new list when I'm back in front of my own computer in another few hours. Thank you! -- Waitak 08:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I've been mulling over an idea for the last few days that I wanted to run by you. There are a lot of articles surrounding the general topic of vegetable oils:
And probably others that I'm not thinking of right now. What would you think of a "section template" that could get added to all of them, as a first step toward tying the whole sorry lot together? The template would go into the top right hand corner of all of the related articles. I realize that it'd all benefit from a reorganization, but that wouldn't be any harder for having put the existing articles into some sort of order.
Here's a first draft of what it might look like: {{ Vegetable oils}}

Someone's removed the essential oil links from the template that I was chatting with you about, saying that essential oil isn't oil. I reverted the changes pending a discussion (but left the template out of Essential oil) for the moment. I'd love to have your view on the question. I've started a talk page so that interested parties can discuss it. -- Waitak 15:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
That's an excellent idea. I was trying to look over the whole cluster of articles from the point of view of somebody who cares about something other than vegetable oil (fat). I can see the point, in part, but I'm not sure what to do about it. I think the disambiguation is a good start, anyway. What do you think of the name change of the template? Oh, and I heartily approve of you not learning anything further about divorce. 8-o I've been married almost 27 years now. -- Waitak 13:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Why don't you check with the city of Fort Wayne building department. The building was set to be leased when upon further inspection it was found that there was mold growing in the building. The reason, the new owner of the building turned off the air flow to save money. The building has a very wet crawl space and because of the lack of air flow mold grew on most of the inside walls. Clair knock this off Neighborhood Code Inforcement doesn't condemn buildings the building department does. You sir are a real A-----. WOWO Historian
You made an edit stating that Granite had defaulted on its June 1st 2006 payment. This is not true. Actually, they were able to make the payment through a "Senior credit facility". This was kind of a short term loan that made the June payment. But they have to pay it back short term as well. This is where the problem lies right now. They thought with the sale of the San Franscisco station they would pay the short term loan. In any case, as part of an agreement with their creditors they have gone into a restructing agreement which has be done by the end of August. It's complicated but if you go into their stock quotes and look at all the newswire and disclosures you can figure it out. It certainly looks like bankruptcy and it is agreed by most that that may be the next step. This is a mandatory process that resembles bankrupcy but is not legally bankrupcy.

I just took a quick look and it seems fine - I made a minor edit (got the refs to list by number - removed the asterisk) and I changed the rating to B (next is Good Article, but that is a separate process that has to be submitted to WP:GA). Two quick ideas - can the businesses be moved to either a separate "list of" article or maybe put in a paragraph (not a list)? Also I would rather have the list of cities, boroughs, Twps, and CDPs back in the article and the nav box (template) gone if I had to choose. I will look at it more closely and try to add the decennial census figures (from 1900 on tonight). Ruhrfisch 12:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

D'Oh!!!! Thanks for catching my error on the Quick Facts racial data being from 2004. Someday I must learn to read. I like the new Tourism section on Lancaster County - do you want me to add a few sentences on rivers and railroads (besides Strasburg RR on the tourist trap part)? I also wondered if we could get pictures of some of the unique rural things you mentioned (the buggy stand at WalMart, etc.)? I can look in Commons or could ask on WikiProject PA if anyone is near to get a picture... Take care, Ruhrfisch 21:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I like the expanded history section - one question, the Wyoming Massacre link is to the July 3, 1778 massacre, not the 1760's one. I am not sure if Paxton, PA should link to Paxtang, PA or one of the Paxton Townships in Dauphin County (they split the original Paxton Twp into Upper, Middle, and Lower Twps.) (and that sentence in the article needs to be cleaned up a bit). I like the census data - congrats for finding it online. I also like the chart comparing population growth you made, but would identify the US vs LC by color in the caption. I am still working on rivers and transportation (rail and highway).
I am not sure what else to photograph - you had mentioned the cow cam and auctions too. Are there common images - a buggy along a road? Some of the food you mentioned? I put a Fraktur image in, and there are others that could be added to the article. There is one of the Paxton Boys massacre already on WP for that part, or several possible on WP of Buchanan or Stevens or Wheatland. Whatever you photograph, don't 'shoot' Cheney either - he shoots back ;-). Ruhrfisch 04:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I've thrown in the towel on the Plant oils/ Vegetable oils issue. I've basically become convinced that there isn't an ideal solution, and this one is less likely to attract flak than most of the others. Sigh. I didn't rename {{ Vegetable oils}}, but I did change the title to Plant oils. There's probably a bit more mop-up to do, but that'll happen along the way, I suppose. Sigh, again.

I'm not sure terminology will work that seems to forbid any changes to the page. WP is against any "no derivatives" licensing, or licensing for WP only.

There are now 52 pages linking to the template including the state project page, so I think they're all in. I noticed that you split the fields in the files based on the quotes rather than commas. Numbers less than 1000 aren't in quotes, so these numbers get missed. Not a big deal, but for instance District of Columbia#Demographics should list around 0.14% for NHPI. CSV parsing modules like this one could be used. If the numbers are parsed right, it leads to another question. It may be interesting that hispanic NHPI forms .03% of DC, but it might be misleading to note this grew -34% (176 to 115). Perhaps the $base should be at least 200 or 500 ? Gimmetrow 17:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I notice that in at least this North Dakota article where you just added a template demographics table, the state and national tables now everlap so one table cannot be completely read. Please check all states and fix. Thanks Hmains 21:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence | ||
To ClairSamoht: for diligent and numerous contributions of the highest quality to a wide variety of articles, especially Lancaster County and Pennsylvania, and for building a better encyclopedia by constantly adding references and removing unreferenced junk. Given in grateful admiration by Ruhrfisch 02:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC) |
If confirmation can be found that this is linked to the Philadelphia and Columbia, it would actually make the perfect transition. "As one of the first railroads in Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia and Columbia was not universally welcomed. It was bitterly opposed by many local farmers for destroying the wagoning business, ruining the farms it crossed, and bringing in rowdy Irish immigrants as construction laborers, circumstances commemerated in the folksong The Wagoner's Curse on the Railroad. Among the peculiarities of railroading in those early days was that the railroad was regarded as a sort of public highway..." (Then go on to mention the use of horses on the P&C until 1844.) The picture is great — after all, the Strasburg Railroad is probably Lancaster County's most famous railroad. Choess 04:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello CS: I have posted a discussion topic on Talk: Minnesota concerning the demographics table you added by your recent edit. Would you care to weigh in on it? (I don't think the table is as user-friendly as the former list but I want to see what you as the editor and others have to say on it.) Thanks for your input. Kablammo 04:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
It is easy to get burnt out - a break (even reduced activity) is good to both recharge your batteries and to allow some perspective / distance on articles (after not looking much at something for a week or so, I am amazed at what I find to clean up). It is also good to find things you really like to do - for me that is making creek articles or making them better. The two starts I made last night took me less than an hour but did me a world of good. Take care and take care of yourself, Ruhrfisch 12:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

You should know better by now. -- Storkk 03:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I can work on it, it is just that it has to go on a backburner for now. I also worry as most of the paths would be redlinks needing stubs (like the LC PA Route highway stubs haunting my dreams). Plus I have Lycoming County path starts to write or fix ( Wyalusing trail is pure copyvio from Wallace's book). If I make a paths article, my understanding is that a summary (a few sentences) is left in the article if there is a see bigger article tag.
I am leaning more towards 2 articles for the 2 Conewagos - thanks for your offer to institute a merge, but I think I will decline. I am frazzled. More later, Ruhrfisch 03:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Since I deleted much of what was, no doubt, an exhaustively researched section about the many, many motor-sports arenas in Pennsylvania, and since you are among the most frequent editors of the Pennsylvania page, I figured it would be only fair of me to give an explanation.
In short, the Sport & Recreation section is, in my opinion, poorly written, and detracts from the page itself. It comes across as nothing more than a list of racetracks. A major rewrite is needed.
Some ideas:
I would create two sections; “Professional Sports” and “Recreation” (the two together is far too broad for a single section). I would do away with the table of professional teams – it’s a nice concept, but makes any subsequent discussion of the teams seem redundant. Instead I would have a paragraph that starts something like this:
Something along those lines. I would include a link to a list of professional sports teams in Pennsylvania, which would then include everything which is currently listed in the table.
As far as the motor-sports section, a claim that motor-sports are popular in the state deserves a citation. I dispute the idea that it is more popular than all of those other sports (Okay, I only dispute the idea that it is more poplar than Football). As far as the list of raceways goes, how about something like this:
We could do this with every notable raceway. That way, the list will be limited to only those notable enough to host marquee events, which would an easy test that would separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Again, we could if needed, include a link to all raceways in Pennsylvania.
Or we could do as you say about making a separate page for professional sports. Nonetheless, I would still have a few token words about them on the main page.
As for recreation, I would broaden the scope of it. Include not only amusement parks, but perhaps places like Allegheny National Forest, Ringing Rocks, the Civil War Museum, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Gettysburg, Presque Isle State Park, et cetera. There are tons of places like this in the state; hence why it is deserving on its own category.
Now, these are only a few ideas. I’m not throwing this all on you; as I get the time, I intend to work on rewriting this entire section. Don’t expect anything necessarily soon, but I will try to work on it when I can. I’ll probably do it in my Sandbox, so you can check my progress if you want.
I appreciate the fact that you want to make the Pennsylvania article the best it can be, and I also appreciate all of the effort you put into looking up all of those rinky-dink raceways and the like. Your efforts are laudable, and you deserve thanks for all of your highly constructive edits. However, this article needs a thoughtful look at Sport and Recreation, not a big fat list that blurs together upon reading it.
Keep up the good work. "Country" Bushrod Washington 05:28, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I can appreciate your desire to add information to the article, but why did you remove the section that discussed historical black majorities in southern states? This is entirely valid information, and I would appreciate if you would restore it. Cheers! bd2412 T 05:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
You rv'ed my minor edit to the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania page, saying "That reference doesn't support the fact that he was mennonite, but that it's the oldest surviving building." But the reference in question, http://www.hansherr.org/, says in its first content paragraph: "Both Hans Herr and Christian Herr were bishops of the Mennonite faith." Could you please explain (or undo) your speedy deletion in light of this? -- ScottMainwaring 19:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Glad to copyedit JA (and LC schools) a bit and hope I did not mess anything up. I might try rewording the JA use of pack animals / conversion sentence as the way it is now worded seems to me to be a bit too close to Original Research. I originally did more copy edits and got an edit conflict so I just went back and did the most memorable ones section by section - I will take a look at it again when I can and see if anything else could use a pass of the editing sandpaper to smooth its edges (one time being abrasive is good). Sorry to be slow responding - conked out last night and feel as if I am getting a cold now. Take care, Ruhrfisch 21:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Why do you keep reverting to remove the link to the film of the same name ( Johnny Appleseed (film)? The alternative would be to have Johnny Appleseed as a dab page, with links to what would become Johnny Appleseed (person) and Johnny Appleseed (film)... but a simple "see also" would seem to be the best approach, I feel. Robwingfield ( talk) 15:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
...I am very pleased and quite surprised to hear that, as I usually consider myself a rather "too fast shooter" and a stubborn person, and I found it rather hard to express my intentions clearly in this very discussion and not have them obscured by the overabundance of detail. I was also wondering whether you have been reading the last fragment of my discussion with Pschemp - I admit I was quite upset by her tone and behavior, and perhaps let the emotions take over... I decided to leave it like it is to see the reactions of the others, so what is yours? Bravada, talk - 03:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Could I ask you to Assume Good Faith? I've just noticed the following as a result of your AfD on Johnny Appleseed (2007 film):
I created the article as a result of looking at the main Johnny Appleseed article, and doing a small amount of research found that there was an upcoming film of the same name. IMDB lists the film as due for release next year. Maybe I didn't do enough research - I hold my hands up to that. I won't challenge the AfD as I actually agree with you, but what I don't appreciate is you vandalising the page, and making personal attacks as above - please see WP:NPA. I'm not a clown. I have no financial interest in the script. If you look at my user page, you'll see I'm a Systems Designer for a financial company. Not a film executive! I don't appreciate your personal comments above, so please could you try to be a bit more civil in future, and actually explain to people why you disagree with what they've done, rather than just plough right over what they've done, then insult them behind their backs. Kind regards... Robwingfield ( talk) 09:00, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I will work on LC highway stubs next and put infoboxes on the LC creeks without them (although only Conestoga R. seems likely to have discharge info as it seems to be the only one with a USGS stream gauge). I got a Did You Know out of Conewago Creek (west), so that made up for some of the hassle of 1 vs 2 articles and what to name them. I will also put State Forest and state parks (Susquehannock) and State Game Lands on LC in a few sentences. Most of the Native American paths radiated out from the village of Conestoga, so that is how to start that section - will work on it too. Probably a paragraph on paths in LC and where they ultimately lead, with links to the articles detailing each path, esp. outside LC.
PedanticallySpeaking, founder of the Ohio Twp project, is checking the state register on Kelleys Island so we should know soon. Since the official Erie Co. page does not list it as a twp, I think it is at best a former twp now absorbed into the village. Take care, Ruhrfisch 15:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello again Clair,
Appreciating your no-fuss and principle-based approach to discussing Wikipedia policies, guidelines and such, as well as your tough stance on attempts to dilute the aims and principles of WP, I would like to invite you to join the discussion on the External Links guideline that is currently going on, and taking a dangerous course, being dominated by users wanting to relax rather than tighten the requirements regarding those and subject them even more to users' subjective decisions. As we see increasing amount of linkspam around, I believe there is a need for more users to take part in this discussion to prevent any changes in the guideline that would have potentially catastrophic consequences.

Hi Clair, a start at a Lancaster County Native American paths article / section is here.

I'm curious why, when you reverted the recent vandalism to Jack Moran, you chose to revert my edits also? All I had done was to improve the formatting of the article, return the name John E.

Is quite insulting. Insinuating that scientists aren't writing articles with resources by their side is pretty ridiculous. I write with something close to 200 resources by my side. Demanding that we cite elementary facts is preposterous, presumptuous, and ignorant when one could find the fact in the majority of these references and they are listed at the bottom of the article. You have this fanciful vision that every Wikipedia editor should be paraphrasing and quoting sources when that's not how encyclopedic writing happens. Frankly, if you don't broaden your horizons and take a look at science and math articles at Wikipedia and how they are written, I don't think your comments deserve consideration. -- ScienceApologist 17:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

-- ScienceApologist 21:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Adding that noncompliance tag or whatever you call it to article pages without specifying in the talk page what your objections are is absurd. Then you call its removal vandalism? In my view placing such an ugly tag on a stablized article with no discussion is closer to vandalism. Please explain - both here and on tha talk page of the article. Vsmith 23:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Homestarmy, the pages were delisted for violations of WP:V, and I've pointed out on the talk pages that the articles weren't meeting that standard. It's not that they aren't Good Articles, but that they aren't even acceptable articles.
The noncompliant tag warns readers that the article does NOT meet Wikipedia standards for content. It alerts editors that the article needs work. Both are highly admirable goals. The noncompliance tag is not disruptive of Wikipedia's goals; untrustworthy articles are, however.

Hi, I think you are clearly violating WP:POINT. I have noted this on the administrators' noticeboard. Please feel free to comment. – Joke 00:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I removed inappropriate tags that you placed on several articles. For instance, you placed {{ unsourced}} on Kentucky, which states that the article "does not cite its references or sources"; in fact, they are listed at Kentucky#References. I realize you would like to have extensive inline citations for all articles, and while that may be a criterion for good article or featured article status, it is certainly not a requirement for articles in general. Please do not misuse tags in this manner; support is clearly lacking for this position. — Knowledge Seeker দ 02:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Please don't use automated rollback [5] to revert anything but vandalism and your own edits. To rollback without an explanation simply because you disagree with an edit is considered rude. Thanks. -- W.marsh 02:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I have highlighted the pertinent line for your consideration. Vsmith 03:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Also, WP:VAND does not state that "removal of a dispute tag before resolving the problem is vandalism". Even if you believed so, it is abundantly clear from the edit summary of this edit that the editor was of the opinion that there was no problem, so you should have taken it to the talk page. Please try to be less blunt in your righteous quest for quality control. You have made many quality editors quite upset in a short period of time, and I do not think the net effect of your efforts improves the quality of Wikipedia. -- Lambiam Talk 13:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Please review and follow WP:POINT. Thank you. JBKramer 13:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
If you're Stephen Hawking, and you're having trouble typing because of your disability, I'd fight for the policy to be changed, allowing you to have software that automatically inserts <ref>Because I say so. Stephen Hawking</ref> after every period that's followed by a space.
Again, I do have to apologize for my role in bringing this brew-ha about. I do believe that a great deal of positive after-effects will come out of this as the focus has been turned squarely onto the needs of
WP:V and
WP:CITE. It's just unfortunate that it is coming at a price of so many headaches and vented frustrations. The above comment was by far, the funniest thing I've read out of this whole ordeal and it was nice to see some humor interjected into this ordeal. In my opinion, that deserves a barnstar.

The Barnstar of Good Humor | ||
To Clair, for finding a ray of humor admist some trying times. Agne 22:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC) |
I am not defending what Clair did in removing Good Articles without discussing it first. I understand why people are upset, but I wanted to point some things out that seem not have been mentioned in all this.
I have worked with Clair and his passion for getting citations and references has improved my articles and made me a better editor (I plan to go back and add more / better refs to articles I have worked on before I was as careful about references as I now am). I also value his overall contributions to Wikipedia. For two examples discussed here and elsewhere, take a look at Pennsylvania or Lancaster County, Pennsylvania before Clair started working on them and compare their content now (I know some people feel they are over cited, but look at their content). They are much better articles for his work on them.
Finally, I checked 21 random articles (1 was a disambiguation, so I didn't count it). 70% had nothing labeled as a reference or footnote or source (of these 7 (35%) had no references or external links, 7 (35%) had only external links (but at least there's something outside the article referred to)). Of the 6 (30%) that had references, 4 (20%) had only one reference and 2 (10%) had two references. Some of the articles with refs also had external links, but I did not keep track of that. Given the fact that verifiability is supposed to be a key factor in Wikipedia articles, I think complaints about too many references are a bit misplaced, don't you?

Yeah don't live Wikipedia over inline citations, your heart was in the right place. I hope you come back and contribute. -- W.marsh 00:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Clair, take a look at the first paragraph of the "Slavery and the Christiana Incident" section. The last sentence is missing a verb: "However, the situation (missing verb) when the Fugitive Slave Law was passed as part of the Compromise of 1850." It looks like you originally wrote this text, so I imagine you would be the best person to offer the most appropriate verb here. Richwales 17:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello Clair!
Hi Clair - I have made a series of changes to Texas hold 'em and I have renominated it for a GA. I thought I'd let you know. Thanks again for all your help. --best, kevin kzollman][ talk 06:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Clair, thanks for the messages on my talk page. I keep thinking you are gone, so I'm not sure if you will read this (which is part of why I haven't written before). Thanks for the happy Yule/Christmas/Saturnalia wishes and the same to you too (I celebrate Christmas, but the others sound fun as well). In addition to this one, I watch a fair number of your pages (JA, LC and the school districts in it, plus the templates for these). Let me know if there are others you want me to keep an eye on.
My understanding is that Jimmy Wales just resigned as chair of the Wikimedia Foundation board, but is still a member of the board and is still associated with Wikipedia and its sister projects (see here). You are missed. Take care, Ruhrfisch 03:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Drano.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:TurkeyHillDairy.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Clair, Nice job with the origional submittal of the Diabetes control and complications trial article. mbbradfor d 19:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{
prod}}" template to the article
Dutch Wonderland, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. -- Nehrams2020 00:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Behold.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

I have tagged Image:Edwin_metcalfe.gif as {{ no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.

For what it's worth. The "unflattering" picture was replaced 3 days ago, but if he wants to rip on me for trying to help, then I guess I won't anymore. If you're going to consider his statement a release under a free license, you might at least consider uploading the picture from

Thanks for uploading Image:WebtvLogo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Another editor has added the {{

template to the article
Nancy Nall Derringer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and
Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at
its talk page. If you remove the {{
prod}}
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thank you for uploading Image:MarianneWiggins.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 14:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Donald Kraybill (disambiguation), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Donald Kraybill (disambiguation) is a disambiguation page that only points to a single article, or no articles at all.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Donald Kraybill (disambiguation), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

The article Most restaurants per capita in the United States has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{

Proposed Deletion process, but other

Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 778 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Thanks for uploading File:StrasburgRR.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof ( talk) 04:36, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Minnewawa.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof ( talk) 04:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of US states by number of restaurants per capita. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of US states by number of restaurants per capita. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nancy Nall Derringer until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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.

Hello, I orphaned them and then deleted them ... adding this information to articles is a massive violation of the policy that Wikipedia is not a directory. Also, they were horrifically out-of-date and you have no right to presume (as you did in your edit summaries) that they would be updated every year, thus putting a maintenance burden other editors. I found these templates while cleaning up after edits by Raindrop73 and their IP's. Graham 87 08:22, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
