I've found another NRHP listing that's within a historic district but not a contributing property: the Confederate Memorial in Nicholasville, which sits almost at the center of the Nicholasville Historic District ( National Register of Historic Places listings in Jessamine County, Kentucky). The NR database lists the memorial as an object, but the database says that there are no contributing objects in the district. Oddly enough, it says that there aren't any noncontributing objects in the district, so they may have forgotten about it entirely; the district was listed thirteen years before the memorial.

Hi, Daniel. I noticed you blocked User:Trunkarchive. I suspect this user's activities formed part of a concerted promotional effort on the part of trunkarchive.com, a media-licensing company, to create bio articles on as many of the photographers in their stable as possible. Here are the other accounts, neither currently active, who may have been involved:
Photofan76's contributions consist almost entirely of creating articles about photographers represented by trunkarchive.com. Several were deleted (see User talk:PhotoFan76), but a good many have survived. Perhaps some are speediable G11 or A7. Those that are not I could conceivably bulk-nominate to AfD -- with the exception of any that meet WP:CREATIVE. Even those that remain should probably have the ELs to trunkarchive.com removed under WP:ELNO 5: "Links to web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services"
I've also added trunkarchive.com to the list of proposed additions at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist
Does this seem like a reasonable course of action? -- Rrburke ( talk) 11:51, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I saw where you were having trouble adding a new article to the front page of WP:NRHP. You are correct in that you have to link to the actual article title and not a redirect. You can however pipelink the title though. From the explanatory text just above the list:

Do you know why Albany City Hall was excluded from this historic district? Based on page 35, it looks like it was done intentionally, however the building is from 1883 and would seem to me to be just as valid an inclusion considering many of the contributing properties on Pearl Street are from the 1920s.

Just wanted to point out a common mistake- I believe you meant Hudson, New York not Kingston, New York when you listed early NY cities... NY and Albany became cities through their respective Dongan Charter in the same year only about 6 months apart, then Hudson 1785, then Schenectady in 1798. Im not too knowledgeable about Kingston but I believe it wasnt until the 1870s that it became a city... it's actually a very common misperception about Kingston being on par in age with the older communities and Hudson being forgotten, I think it might be because of the comparable size, the bigger city is just normally thought of as being older. But poor little Hudson is the one with the distinction of being the third city. And as you can see from the date this would have been through the state of NY as opposed to the province, but still under a charter (I think) as opposed to any general incorporation law.

Hi Daniel, I offered to do a history merge on 10 articles - see User_talk:Ruhrfisch#List_of_number-one_singles_in_2009_.28New_Zealand.29, but after reading Wikipedia:History merge I am thinking just making the others into redirects and putting a note on the talk page of the new main article would work better. What do you think? Also are you still thinking of hiking at Ricketts Glen? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
First off, I want to be clear that I'm not trying to offend you... but Bratislava? Reading the FA version, it is clear this is an old FA that should no longer be. I 100% guarantee you that if that went through a fresh FAC (having never before seen a star) it would be shot down very quickly. Where do I begin? The intro is far too short and does no justice for a city of its age and stature in European politics and history. "Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital that borders two other countries" has no place being the third sentence of the entire article. It's trivia! Geography has a great panorama. Too bad it's not in the current version. History: An image of coins is not all that helpful to the article; a map from the early days would be. You asked me for history on border changes. I ask why you currently praise an article that is lacking that information. What happened between 1948 and 1989? Anything exciting? City: Good to know that Europe's thinnest building is in the city; if you're going to bring up this fact, you have to quell the curiosity and give the width measurement; there isn't even a wikilink to help you find out. Castles and houses offer much-too-much in the line of details on specific structures. Include in a large subsection maybe, but as separate entities it just clutters the TOC and makes the subsections themselves look much too meager. Parks and lakes isn't bad; nice image caption info. Demographics leaves one wanting on some (any!) info related to religion affiliations. It's slavic; are they Catholic? Protestant? Eastern Orthodox? I have no idea, and was unable to learn which! Government was reasonably interesting; the mayor's city board seems unnecessary, but hey, if it works for them. Economy was the only section that left me satisfied, but the image's caption reads "High-rise buildings at Nivy, one of Bratislava's main business districts", begging the response, "Uh-huh, and?" Performing arts wasn't bad, but more than half of it was history. You support the story in history; why do you support the division between the complete history here? Museums and galleries produces no real complaints except for the fact that the image caption references something not brought up in prose. Media lacks in local information, and the term "seat" is misused throughout the article, when in fact the writer really means "headquarters"; this section has one of those examples. Sport has two paragraphs comprised of two sentences or less; this is a common problem throughout the article. Education and science is only named such so that an entire third of the section can be spent talking about (gosh!) how the city has no planetarium or observatory. Who cares? How about some info about where their primary and secondary students go to school? Is it part of a national system? A state system? Are there many private schools? Do the public ones fair well? That section is—with no exaggeration—dismal, and should have killed the FAC in its tracks. Transport: meh, nothing special. Where's the engaging, even brilliant, prose of a professional standard?
This is a prime example of an article that was passed during a time when FA was really in its infancy (many more strides have been made—quality-wise—since this article's nom than between the start of FAs and then). Much more is expected of an article today. You mention how so many city articles have lost their stars; it's because they were bad, and people finally realized it. NYC, even the passed version, left the reader wanting for so much more. This is especially true if you want to know about local details, which this article has very little of (not even a mention of the local newspaper, really?) You argue complete and compact, I argue skeletal and disappointing. I wish it (for the sake of future nominators and for the sake of our readers that want real information) that you do not use this article as your gold standard, because it is worth as much as a pound of dirt and should clearly not retain its star. I'm actually somewhat ashamed that this is considered one of Wikipedia's best works, but that Albany cannot be in its fuller, more rewarding (to the reader) state. If I weren't so interested in adding content, I'd quickly be FARing this article and delisting it. upstate NYer 02:33, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting the Cattaraugus County list fully illustrated (belatedly). As you can see it jibes nicely with the now fully-illustrated Orleans County list, which I have begun taking the steps to prepare for a peer review and eventual FLC.
One suggestion, though. Instead of my own pic for the Albion post office, I used one taken by a Flickr user who, months ago at my request, had changed the licensing on his images to allow us to use them, because it was in better conditions (see my pics for Albion's historic districts and you'll understand that it was raining at the time, so I much preferred the blue sky he got). He's taken a very nice picture of the Little Valley post office ... maybe we could use that instead? Daniel Case ( talk) 13:46, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey Daniel, thanks for the late welcome back in August, I haven't been spending a lot of time around here but I have consistently been popping in since I came back. You know, checking the watchlist for vandalism and nonsense, and even creating a bit of content here and there too. Even while I was gone I saw a bunch of your NY NRHP articles on DYK, even without clicking I knew they were yours. Anyway, thanks for the welcome back and I dare say: Wikistress Level = ZERO!

My description of this editor's previous reason for being banned may have been mis-summarised (the false claims of original photography were posted as part of hois false claims about public transport systems), but his posting of today included a photo which he claims is one that he took of the Quito metro. Which on the face of it is fine, except that there is, as yet, no Quito metro system. The photo therefore carries a false claim as to its subject, in which case, given his history, there can be mno confidence about his claim to be the photographer. He has in the past claimed copyright pictures to be his own work. Kevin McE ( talk) 20:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
In the grand scope of things, this isn't that big of an issue, but as a RC monitor, I'd like to get it cleared up: On the noticeboard for the reporting of inappropriate names, you questioned the reporting of one name that appeared promotional as the name of a company on the basis that no connection to the company had been demonstrated. However, WP:ORGNAME says "A username that is the name of a company or group implies the intent to promote this group. Accordingly, such usernames may be indefinitely blocked", so does a connection need to be demonstrated before reporting? Kansan ( talk) 16:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your detailed note; I'll reply to each comment in turn:
In case you wonder, this was part of a project that Acroterion and I have discussed; we think that it would help to have a bot go through the architecture by year categories and put American buildings into newly-created "[year] architecture in the United States" categories. You can see the "Subdivide architecture categories" section of Wikipedia:Bot requests for details. Since a bot that does exactly what I'm asking wouldn't do anything with articles in the decade architecture categories, I decided to create the decades in the USA categories and separate out the ones that didn't belong there.

I'm expanding the article on the Montgomery Saltbox Houses near Cincinnati; they were built by some of the city's original settlers, who migrated from Montgomery, New York in 1795. Do you suggest that I link to the town or the village in the article? I'm leaning toward the town, since the village hadn't yet incorporated in 1795, but I suspect that there was a hamlet of Montgomery before incorporation in 1810.

(Also posted at User talk:FisherQueen) The last thing I want to do is exonerate Wikiplayer13 (I've mentioned elsewhere that the net effects of his edits have been negative.) However I do feel I should clarify that the edits in question did not occur while the user was logged in, they were made by 212.219.57.60 ( talk) (see WP:AN/I#212.219.57.60 / Wikiplayer13). At minimum, the editor has thus admitted to having used the same computer from which the edits were made. It is puzzling why the user would imply a compromised account, when there's really no indication that anything like this has occurred - again, the edits were made from an IP address. But he's the one making that claim. Also note that another IP associated with this account, 82.46.89.207 ( talk), has previously vandalized our user pages when faced with various disagreements (for example, [4], [5], [6], [7]). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup at Oliver Filley House. I see you've added it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture. I've created some other articles about NRHP sites, such as Nathaniel Holcomb III House.

Hi, i'd like to inquire about the specifics of the block against User talk:Politicalfolkmusic. I don't know this editor, and haven't been asked to intervene. I simply am interested in the articles that were edited. I checked out the target website, and it could be argued that this is a useful link for the related articles. It provides lyrics in a format (downloadable PDF) that isn't available elsewhere on the web, as far as i know.
So, was it simply a block for self-promotion, or were there other issues? If it was purely for self-promotion, then i submit that,

I was careful - that's why I didn't delete my post at UAA but added a comment. I didn't want it to get kept in the history if no-one noticed I'd been there. I'd gone in to report it before I went in to find out what it had been up to. Kill it first, then see about a tidy-up... I work backwards through the new accounts edits, picking out the bits missed by others - which is why I'm sometimes on older info till I get into a page. Peridon ( talk) 14:50, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm a little confused by the decline reason you gave here for declining my AIV report on User:Grayssake. His final warning was at 04:58, 13 November 2010 according to his talk page and at 20:58, 12 November 2010 according to the history of said page (a discrepancy I've never understood). Meanwhile he has another 20 non constructive edits after that edit (I realize that may just be the page the reverter was on when they dropped the warning and a bunch may have been reverted at once), the last of which is dated 06:49, 13 November 2010. Either way that's after his warning. Am I misreading the timestamps? I've marked your page to watch until you have a chance to reply so no need to talkback me.

Hey,
Thanks for your input! I've always been an editor who was interested in more esoteric subjects such as gambling or the paranormal, I feel a lot of these articles have been improperly deleted due to an inherent bias from the nominator. If you notice the other editors who voted delete has a history of bias against paranormal articles, both of whom are self proclaimed rational skeptics. When it comes to the AfD of Devil's Tree, its improper deletion couldn't be further fact. I think you and Theornamentalist did an excellent job in remaining neutral and adhering to the rule of WP:V. I am quite confused as to how this AfD favored deletion (should have been no consensus at worst). For topics involving the paranormal primary sources tend to focus on heresay, NJ.com and the Courier Post are seperate independent non-trivial sources. Theornamentalist more than addressed the issues the nominator brought. I was going to ask the admin to undelete and renominate I was hoping you could help me in this process.

Almost every day, I run across editors that were promoting their own businesses and organizations, but were blocked (often by you) with the message, "Your username is the only reason for this block". This might save time for you, but it wastes time for those of us on unblock patrol, when we have to explain to those users that the username is indeed not the only reason for the block. -- jpgordon ::==( o ) 16:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm not going to revert your change because it's not worth it, but you miss my point. The issue in the plot is what's accurate. We are saying something about what the detective thinks. My memory of the movie is that the detective, after finding the bloody hat, thought that this was evidence that Susie had been killed. For us to go further than that and use the word "murdered" is unnecessary and potentially inaccurate. We know, of course, that Susie was murdered, but that's not the point - it's trying to find the most accurate representation of what we think the detective is thinking (unless, of course, he actually used the word "murdered" - I don't remember that, but I don't have a phonographic memory :-) ). The plot originally used the word "killed" and someone changed it to "murdered" - I just changed it back to the more neutral term.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 19:19, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

I finished writing the section on the
Wallkill Valley Rail Trail's route, put in a request for a route map, and moved some information into
Rosendale trestle and
La Stazione. I tried to avoid inserting refs in the middle of sentences, but where the sources are offline, I really thought it would help for verification in some instances. I've also thought about what you said, and I decided I still want to pursue an A-class review. I've participated in some FACs for the last few months and come away with a bad impression of the process. I have no desire to quibble over minor punctuation and sentence structure, go a month without feedback, and then be asked to come back with confirmation that all images from the 19th century are in the public domain. I'd prefer to have editors from relevant projects with an interest in the material determine that the article is really, really good.

Hi. Thanks for starting and expanding the Downtown Waterbury Historic District article. What are your thoughts on including the already existing Waterbury Municipal Center Complex article as that older district is completely contained within the newer Downtown Waterbury district? My editorial opinion is that combining the older, smaller district and discussing it in the context of the newer, larger district makes for a more wholistic view of the historical development of the downtown Waterbury area. But since you're the one working on the article, I think the final decision should be left to your judgment. Thanks again. -- Polaron | Talk 22:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Daniel. I replaced the reference for the reasons you stated in your question to me - "the latter is in PDF format and easier for most readers to review". The previous reference took over one minute to load a java script reader and then opened the exact same document but in lower resolution. I don't see any reason for favoring a New York state resource over a federal one, especially when the state uses such an unfriendly access system. Both the state and the federal government are equally authoritative on this matter, but one published the information in a way that loads much more quickly than the other, is in a more readily accessible format and displays in higher resolution. Additionally, because the NPS source is in PDF format, I was able to create an archive of the document using webcite.org see [12].
Regarding the "one source" idea, I feel it is obvious that any article is more authoritative and credible when it can reference multiple, high quality sources. The article we are discussing has only one high quality source, (the nomination document), one dead link and one working link that references a web site that I do not believe ranks very highly as a reputable source. Clearly, we should try to do better. The one source justification is especially lame considering that even the general information about the history of the company uses the NPS document as a reference. Other good sources on the general history of the company are available online via general web search or by searching google books. The main Marion Power Shovel (the company) article is seriously lacking in references (and has other problems). As I complete more research I plan to update that article with more credible, third party references. References that can be used in support of the Le Roy shovel article will be added there as well.
"nomination documents are often the only reliable source available" Baloney! Certainly when someone wrote the NPS nomination document, they were referencing historical documentation? The nominations are not written by hearsay. Although the documents and records that informed the creation of the nomination document may not be available -online-, they are out there. To be verifiable, Wikipedia sources don't have to be online, they just need to exist. While the NPS nomination may be the only good -online- source of information about the shovel, that document is most certainly not the only source of available information. The fact that you and I can't or won't make the necessary trip to Le Roy (or where ever the research takes us) to find and inspect the printed historical records isn't a justification for citing just one source. The "one source" notice is a fair one, letting readers and editors know that more research can be done and needs to be done in support of this article.
The Le Roy steam shovel article is an example of a well written article that would benefit from more referencing more quality sources. I hope that you would support all efforts to improve the article, especially those that help to strengthen the credibility of the article by referencing a number of good quality, third party sources.

As far as the other things you're saying, I think I know how you feel quite well ... you've said it several times already.
As noted elsewhere, it is your apparent inability to admit you might have done something that, on hindsight, you could have done differently. We all make mistakes; that's (unfortunately) one of the ways we learn. I've had a few edits I'd like to have back too. Just accept that you aren't perfect, think about what you could do to avoid the same mistake again, pick yourself up and move on. Daniel Case ( talk) 19:24, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Re your e-mail; I obviously won't go into detail about it, but suffice to say that I understand where you're coming from, and I wouldn't have wanted you to rush to any sort of judgement.

Could you take a look at Aariix3's most recent contributions (especially the additions of new population figures to Ecuador and other articles) to see if this is the same behavior that caused you to block xyr for three months staring from October last year? Xyr edits to Ecuador (the one I noticed)—struck me as odd; he used a non-reliable source, but then didn't even put the information listed in that source, instead using what looked like to me to be totally different numbers.

Hi Daniel, I just wanted to let you know that I looked at this DYK nomination, but I came to a different conclusion. It was only introduced into the article space on 20 Feb after the author worked on it in his user space. This should make it eligible. If you agree, you may want to pop back over there, since you've already reviewed the rest of the criteria. Thanks! Cmprince ( talk) 16:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Daniel - I recently noticed that you had denied my report to WP:AIV due to the reported user not being sufficiently warned. I was hoping if you could please elaborate? I feel that the user is a fairly strong example of an active vandalism-only account, in which the user had been adding blatantly false information to articles (among other unconstructive edits), and had created two articles that consisted of attacks. Per WP:VAND, wouldn't immediate blockage without warning be the best solution to prevent further disruption in this scenario? ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 04:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I see that you declined to act on an AIV report on Mine's the scientist, commenting "Earlier edits were OK; only in the last couple of hours did they turn unacceptable and then stop. Remember that we usually warn people before blocking them." I have blocked the user, and, since this was overturning an administrative decision of yours, I feel I owe you the courtesy of explaining why. The first thing that struck me was that the editor's first few edits did not look remotely like the work of someone who had little or no previous experience of editing Wikipedia. I also noticed that these first few edits were perfectly constructive, but very minor, in several cases quite trivial. Then, after precisely ten such edits and 4 days plus some minutes after the account was created, the editor started making disruptive edits on articles which were semi-protected, so that autoconfirmation was required in order to do so. In my opinion that all adds up to enough evidence to decide that there is a quite calculated plan to establish a vandalism-only account and get round protection, enough, in my opinion, to justify an indefinite block. If you disagree please feel free to unblock, but in that case I trust you will let me know. (I would not be surprised if a search through the edit history of the articles would revel similar edits by one or more IPs before semiprotection, but I haven't bothered to check.)

here), didn't help. Warned him a second time, still nothing. User won't discuss, in fact, there's no respons whatsoever. Was on this page earlier, but at that moment there was no real vandalism. Should I wait until I have warned him a third time, or is this enough to block this user (temporarily)?

Hi. Regarding the recent unblocking of Perk10 ( talk · contribs) "per discussion on talk page": the user of this account has made little secret of the fact that they have already evaded their indefinite block through the illegitimate use of an alternative account, Perk100 ( talk · contribs) (now indeffed). Conveniently, no mention of this blatant disregard for proper Wikipedia policy was made on Perk10's talk page, but I am curious how this unblocking is justified. Furthermore, Wikid77 ( talk · contribs)'s " reasoning" for granting the unblock appears to me to be far from convincing when it contains frankly bizarre statements that have rather little to do with the actual situation, such as "... the term "votestacking" is rather misleading in a WP:MfD discussion, where votes are not counted, and hence users cannot be expected to abide by illogical things being implied by such misleading terms" and "Some users fail to understand that blocking is not applied only to a username (to lose the reputation associated with that username) but a block applies to all edit-access, including as IP edits."

It just reinforces the perception that Wikipedia administrators are biased in regards to certain articles and are simply looking for excuses to permanently ban editors who don't support their views.

Is this user really a vandal? Despite the rollbacking of all their edits, I don't actually see any indisputable vandalism, certainly nothing that warrants a block for vandalism. If I'm missing something, feel free to let me know.
On an unrelated note, you really should have a talk page for IPs. Regards, Swarm X 00:17, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
First off, I think you meant WP:DENY, or maybe you didn't. Meanwhile, I learned that vandals vandalize Wikipedia because they wish to get a reaction, or maybe a serious effect of some sort (possibly a shrine dedicated to them, like Jaraxle Artemis). Giving them the reaction encourages vandalism, and the common vandal is weak against the secret weapons: Twinkle and Huggle. Upon locating the position of a vandal, one is advised to vaporise its deconstructive edits, call backup, and ignore it.

Just wanted to say "thanks" really for the Wedding dress of Kate Middleton stuff. It's completely bizarre to suddenly have things I did on here in good faith 6 years ago suddenly used against me in a debate about an unrelated article. I guess that just proves my naivety regarding my user page, but regardless, I really appreciated your thoughtful contributions. - Kez ( talk) 14:41, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Daniel,
Re my comments on the AfD thing, I've apologised to Kez already - and all I can say is that I was almost certainly having one of 'those days' - you know the sort where the brain goes off on one, and we say / write things that we wouldn't normally do? That was really definitely out of character for me, and I hope I've straightened things out ok with Kez. I do take his point that the userbox was a six-years-old thing - but I had no way of knowing that other than going and checking through his user page history, nor did I have any way of knowing that it reflected his thoughts as a young teenager, rather than his current viewpoint,neither of which (I know) constitutes 'a defence' , but hopefully 'mitigating circumstances'. It was the bizarreness of the combination of the 'inclusionist' box, and the 'Royalty and Nobility Barnstar' (which I don't think I mentioned, having reined in my insanity somewhat), and the choice of that particular article as a nomination.
Apologies to you, too, if I irritated or upset you. There's always some spill-over between WikiLife and Real Life, and I suspect that this may also have contributed. Do, please, be assured that it was pretty out-of-character for me; and I shall (attempt to) be on my guard against letting the SnarkMonster Within off its lead again! All the best, Pesky ( talk) 08:22, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Daniel. I'm afraid you seem to have inadvertently malformatted a quote with your reformatting here. I imagine you thought that the blockquote was being used decoratively, but in fact that entire run of content was copied verbatim from the source. Removing the formatting put the content in violation of WP:NFC. That could be fixed by restoring the quotation, but I've pulled the material, as it wasn't really a suitable quote to begin with. There's nothing transformative about it. I'll talk to the contributor about that, but I just thought I'd let you know what happened here. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:40, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Daniel,
Upon further review of Peekskill (Metro-North station), I noticed that a link to the MTA's page about the station was listed in both references and external links (it was the same link in each). My first instinct is to simply remove the duplicate link from the external links section and keep it in references. Is this correct or is it fine to have the same link in both.
If I did delete it from external links, should I delete the whole section entirely (since this is the only link there)?

That's an interesting article you created on Ski Lift No. 1. I wouldn't have suspected that a simple chairlift could have made it to the National Register, but being that it spurred the development of Aspen, it makes a lot of sense that it got onto the National Register.
Also, it's nice to see a well fleshed-out article appearing at WP:NRHP, unlike all the two-sentence stubs and four-paragraph arguments that seem to be the norm there. Keep up the good work. -- Elkman (Elkspeak) 18:35, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey, my watchlist has seen alot of activity recently, notably on Northern Ireland related issues. Always the same thing. And I see Homebirdni has been accused of being a sock puppet again. Why is it always the same people pointing the finger, I think you need to review that case again. Looking at the evidence and Homebird has already said this but some of the evidence is very funny. Like the punctuation before his signing. Both Northern Counties and Highking contributed and they both sign off with ' --'. Does this mean they are socks? no, well who knows, and also he spelt 'chinesse' wrong. Could be a typo as 'e' and 's' are beside each other on the keyboard. Hardly substantial evidence. If you are a school teacher and you see 1 boy getting picked on by 4 boys. Do you suspend the 1 boy for 'not being able to play well with others'. Well no, and certainly not in a sockpuppet case but in this case you have. What sort of evidence would satisfy you because the evidence against is weak. I understand that admins are very busy so you can only really take a look at a glance, but if you look at every post made, you would probably think again. Maybe do a checkuser on facto/homebird/and that random ip and maybe do a checkuser on highking and northerncounties, as these 2 users also sign off the same and seem to share the same opinion. worth checking Afterlife10 ( talk) 11:34, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Daniel, you appear to have been doing some sincere and dedicated research for the Perp walk article, which I applaud, but it seems that we have an edit conflict over the use of a "Notes" section when a "References" section is also used within the same article. You recently posted an additional 'note' after I previously removed the 'Notes' section as unneeded in my opinion. My action caused your latest "note" to become a broken reference and mess up the page. I would like to discuss with you and work together with you so we can do what we can to avoid breaking the article further. I am still concerned by your usage of 'notes' within the article but I would prefer we "un-break" the article first so it is readable and then discuss our issues later. Cheers, Veriss ( talk) 05:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Same person, same editing pattern. Radiopathy •talk• 02:27, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Daniel--
I wanted to get your opinion as I noticed you are an admin in WP: UAA.
A user noted that my username, I Jethrobot looks like a bot name and is in violation based on what is written at Wikipedia:Username_policy#Appropriate_usernames. While I can change my username if I am specifically asked to, I made this account in 2006 before policies about -bot related usernames were around (also, it feels a little strange to nominate my own username for a violation). My contributions are by no means extensive for a five-year account, but I did spend a lot of time working in the Nintendo Video Games WikiProject when I started and have recently been working hard in WP: AfD. I have no record of vandalism and have tried to avoid edit wars or other poor editing / discussion behavior.
If possible, I would like to retain my name under the grandfather clause mentioned in Wikipedia:Username_policy#Appropriate_usernames. Otherwise, if this is not possible, I will certainly change my username to something else, though I would like to retain my contribution history.
Thanks, -- I Jethrobot ( talk) 03:07, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:92.8.85.15 - what does "Sole edit was this request." mean?

I've found another NRHP listing that's within a historic district but not a contributing property: the Confederate Memorial in Nicholasville, which sits almost at the center of the Nicholasville Historic District ( National Register of Historic Places listings in Jessamine County, Kentucky). The NR database lists the memorial as an object, but the database says that there are no contributing objects in the district. Oddly enough, it says that there aren't any noncontributing objects in the district, so they may have forgotten about it entirely; the district was listed thirteen years before the memorial.

Hi, Daniel. I noticed you blocked User:Trunkarchive. I suspect this user's activities formed part of a concerted promotional effort on the part of trunkarchive.com, a media-licensing company, to create bio articles on as many of the photographers in their stable as possible. Here are the other accounts, neither currently active, who may have been involved:
Photofan76's contributions consist almost entirely of creating articles about photographers represented by trunkarchive.com. Several were deleted (see User talk:PhotoFan76), but a good many have survived. Perhaps some are speediable G11 or A7. Those that are not I could conceivably bulk-nominate to AfD -- with the exception of any that meet WP:CREATIVE. Even those that remain should probably have the ELs to trunkarchive.com removed under WP:ELNO 5: "Links to web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services"
I've also added trunkarchive.com to the list of proposed additions at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist
Does this seem like a reasonable course of action? -- Rrburke ( talk) 11:51, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
What's the justification for this category change? Sorry I only got around to noticing it due to someone else's diffusion.

Do you know why Albany City Hall was excluded from this historic district? Based on page 35, it looks like it was done intentionally, however the building is from 1883 and would seem to me to be just as valid an inclusion considering many of the contributing properties on Pearl Street are from the 1920s.

Just wanted to point out a common mistake- I believe you meant Hudson, New York not Kingston, New York when you listed early NY cities... NY and Albany became cities through their respective Dongan Charter in the same year only about 6 months apart, then Hudson 1785, then Schenectady in 1798. Im not too knowledgeable about Kingston but I believe it wasnt until the 1870s that it became a city... it's actually a very common misperception about Kingston being on par in age with the older communities and Hudson being forgotten, I think it might be because of the comparable size, the bigger city is just normally thought of as being older. But poor little Hudson is the one with the distinction of being the third city. And as you can see from the date this would have been through the state of NY as opposed to the province, but still under a charter (I think) as opposed to any general incorporation law.

Hi Daniel, I offered to do a history merge on 10 articles - see User_talk:Ruhrfisch#List_of_number-one_singles_in_2009_.28New_Zealand.29, but after reading Wikipedia:History merge I am thinking just making the others into redirects and putting a note on the talk page of the new main article would work better. What do you think? Also are you still thinking of hiking at Ricketts Glen? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
First off, I want to be clear that I'm not trying to offend you... but Bratislava? Reading the FA version, it is clear this is an old FA that should no longer be. I 100% guarantee you that if that went through a fresh FAC (having never before seen a star) it would be shot down very quickly. Where do I begin? The intro is far too short and does no justice for a city of its age and stature in European politics and history. "Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital that borders two other countries" has no place being the third sentence of the entire article. It's trivia! Geography has a great panorama. Too bad it's not in the current version. History: An image of coins is not all that helpful to the article; a map from the early days would be. You asked me for history on border changes. I ask why you currently praise an article that is lacking that information. What happened between 1948 and 1989? Anything exciting? City: Good to know that Europe's thinnest building is in the city; if you're going to bring up this fact, you have to quell the curiosity and give the width measurement; there isn't even a wikilink to help you find out. Castles and houses offer much-too-much in the line of details on specific structures. Include in a large subsection maybe, but as separate entities it just clutters the TOC and makes the subsections themselves look much too meager. Parks and lakes isn't bad; nice image caption info. Demographics leaves one wanting on some (any!) info related to religion affiliations. It's slavic; are they Catholic? Protestant? Eastern Orthodox? I have no idea, and was unable to learn which! Government was reasonably interesting; the mayor's city board seems unnecessary, but hey, if it works for them. Economy was the only section that left me satisfied, but the image's caption reads "High-rise buildings at Nivy, one of Bratislava's main business districts", begging the response, "Uh-huh, and?" Performing arts wasn't bad, but more than half of it was history. You support the story in history; why do you support the division between the complete history here? Museums and galleries produces no real complaints except for the fact that the image caption references something not brought up in prose. Media lacks in local information, and the term "seat" is misused throughout the article, when in fact the writer really means "headquarters"; this section has one of those examples. Sport has two paragraphs comprised of two sentences or less; this is a common problem throughout the article. Education and science is only named such so that an entire third of the section can be spent talking about (gosh!) how the city has no planetarium or observatory. Who cares? How about some info about where their primary and secondary students go to school? Is it part of a national system? A state system? Are there many private schools? Do the public ones fair well? That section is—with no exaggeration—dismal, and should have killed the FAC in its tracks. Transport: meh, nothing special. Where's the engaging, even brilliant, prose of a professional standard?
This is a prime example of an article that was passed during a time when FA was really in its infancy (many more strides have been made—quality-wise—since this article's nom than between the start of FAs and then). Much more is expected of an article today. You mention how so many city articles have lost their stars; it's because they were bad, and people finally realized it. NYC, even the passed version, left the reader wanting for so much more. This is especially true if you want to know about local details, which this article has very little of (not even a mention of the local newspaper, really?) You argue complete and compact, I argue skeletal and disappointing. I wish it (for the sake of future nominators and for the sake of our readers that want real information) that you do not use this article as your gold standard, because it is worth as much as a pound of dirt and should clearly not retain its star. I'm actually somewhat ashamed that this is considered one of Wikipedia's best works, but that Albany cannot be in its fuller, more rewarding (to the reader) state. If I weren't so interested in adding content, I'd quickly be FARing this article and delisting it. upstate NYer 02:33, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations on getting the Cattaraugus County list fully illustrated (belatedly). As you can see it jibes nicely with the now fully-illustrated Orleans County list, which I have begun taking the steps to prepare for a peer review and eventual FLC.
One suggestion, though. Instead of my own pic for the Albion post office, I used one taken by a Flickr user who, months ago at my request, had changed the licensing on his images to allow us to use them, because it was in better conditions (see my pics for Albion's historic districts and you'll understand that it was raining at the time, so I much preferred the blue sky he got). He's taken a very nice picture of the Little Valley post office ... maybe we could use that instead? Daniel Case ( talk) 13:46, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

My description of this editor's previous reason for being banned may have been mis-summarised (the false claims of original photography were posted as part of hois false claims about public transport systems), but his posting of today included a photo which he claims is one that he took of the Quito metro. Which on the face of it is fine, except that there is, as yet, no Quito metro system. The photo therefore carries a false claim as to its subject, in which case, given his history, there can be mno confidence about his claim to be the photographer. He has in the past claimed copyright pictures to be his own work. Kevin McE ( talk) 20:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
In the grand scope of things, this isn't that big of an issue, but as a RC monitor, I'd like to get it cleared up: On the noticeboard for the reporting of inappropriate names, you questioned the reporting of one name that appeared promotional as the name of a company on the basis that no connection to the company had been demonstrated. However, WP:ORGNAME says "A username that is the name of a company or group implies the intent to promote this group. Accordingly, such usernames may be indefinitely blocked", so does a connection need to be demonstrated before reporting? Kansan ( talk) 16:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

In case you wonder, this was part of a project that Acroterion and I have discussed; we think that it would help to have a bot go through the architecture by year categories and put American buildings into newly-created "[year] architecture in the United States" categories. You can see the "Subdivide architecture categories" section of Wikipedia:Bot requests for details. Since a bot that does exactly what I'm asking wouldn't do anything with articles in the decade architecture categories, I decided to create the decades in the USA categories and separate out the ones that didn't belong there.

I'm expanding the article on the Montgomery Saltbox Houses near Cincinnati; they were built by some of the city's original settlers, who migrated from Montgomery, New York in 1795. Do you suggest that I link to the town or the village in the article? I'm leaning toward the town, since the village hadn't yet incorporated in 1795, but I suspect that there was a hamlet of Montgomery before incorporation in 1810.

(Also posted at User talk:FisherQueen) The last thing I want to do is exonerate Wikiplayer13 (I've mentioned elsewhere that the net effects of his edits have been negative.)

At minimum, the editor has thus admitted to having used the same computer from which the edits were made.

Hi, i'd like to inquire about the specifics of the block against User talk:Politicalfolkmusic. I don't know this editor, and haven't been asked to intervene. I simply am interested in the articles that were edited. I checked out the target website, and it could be argued that this is a useful link for the related articles. It provides lyrics in a format (downloadable PDF) that isn't available elsewhere on the web, as far as i know.
So, was it simply a block for self-promotion, or were there other issues? If it was purely for self-promotion, then i submit that,

I was careful - that's why I didn't delete my post at UAA but added a comment. I didn't want it to get kept in the history if no-one noticed I'd been there. I'd gone in to report it before I went in to find out what it had been up to. Kill it first, then see about a tidy-up... I work backwards through the new accounts edits, picking out the bits missed by others - which is why I'm sometimes on older info till I get into a page. Peridon ( talk) 14:50, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm a little confused by the decline reason you gave here for declining my AIV report on User:Grayssake. His final warning was at 04:58, 13 November 2010 according to his talk page and at 20:58, 12 November 2010 according to the history of said page (a discrepancy I've never understood). Meanwhile he has another 20 non constructive edits after that edit (I realize that may just be the page the reverter was on when they dropped the warning and a bunch may have been reverted at once), the last of which is dated 06:49, 13 November 2010. Either way that's after his warning. Am I misreading the timestamps? I've marked your page to watch until you have a chance to reply so no need to talkback me.

Hey,
Thanks for your input! I've always been an editor who was interested in more esoteric subjects such as gambling or the paranormal, I feel a lot of these articles have been improperly deleted due to an inherent bias from the nominator. If you notice the other editors who voted delete has a history of bias against paranormal articles, both of whom are self proclaimed rational skeptics. When it comes to the AfD of Devil's Tree, its improper deletion couldn't be further fact. I think you and Theornamentalist did an excellent job in remaining neutral and adhering to the rule of WP:V. I am quite confused as to how this AfD favored deletion (should have been no consensus at worst). For topics involving the paranormal primary sources tend to focus on heresay, NJ.com and the Courier Post are seperate independent non-trivial sources. Theornamentalist more than addressed the issues the nominator brought. I was going to ask the admin to undelete and renominate I was hoping you could help me in this process.

I'm not going to revert your change because it's not worth it, but you miss my point. The issue in the plot is what's accurate. We are saying something about what the detective thinks. My memory of the movie is that the detective, after finding the bloody hat, thought that this was evidence that Susie had been killed. For us to go further than that and use the word "murdered" is unnecessary and potentially inaccurate. We know, of course, that Susie was murdered, but that's not the point - it's trying to find the most accurate representation of what we think the detective is thinking (unless, of course, he actually used the word "murdered" - I don't remember that, but I don't have a phonographic memory :-) ). The plot originally used the word "killed" and someone changed it to "murdered" - I just changed it back to the more neutral term.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 19:19, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

I finished writing the section on the
Wallkill Valley Rail Trail's route, put in a request for a route map, and moved some information into
Rosendale trestle and
La Stazione. I tried to avoid inserting refs in the middle of sentences, but where the sources are offline, I really thought it would help for verification in some instances. I've also thought about what you said, and I decided I still want to pursue an A-class review. I've participated in some FACs for the last few months and come away with a bad impression of the process. I have no desire to quibble over minor punctuation and sentence structure, go a month without feedback, and then be asked to come back with confirmation that all images from the 19th century are in the public domain. I'd prefer to have editors from relevant projects with an interest in the material determine that the article is really, really good.

Hi. Thanks for starting and expanding the Downtown Waterbury Historic District article. What are your thoughts on including the already existing Waterbury Municipal Center Complex article as that older district is completely contained within the newer Downtown Waterbury district? My editorial opinion is that combining the older, smaller district and discussing it in the context of the newer, larger district makes for a more wholistic view of the historical development of the downtown Waterbury area. But since you're the one working on the article, I think the final decision should be left to your judgment. Thanks again. -- Polaron | Talk 22:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

History of Albany, New York |

So I took the history section of Albany, New York and pasted it over at History of Albany, New York. Previously, User:Camelbinky had included a very detailed history of the city there, so, in the style of History of New York City, I broke that content up into eras (see template at right). Would you consider cutting down the history section at Albany, New York to something you think would be more likely to pass an FAC? While I'm not thrilled with trimming much, I'll do what I must. I figured you'd be a good place to start. Let me know if you'd consider it. Thanks! upstate NYer 01:07, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Daniel. I replaced the reference for the reasons you stated in your question to me - "the latter is in PDF format and easier for most readers to review". The previous reference took over one minute to load a java script reader and then opened the exact same document but in lower resolution. I don't see any reason for favoring a New York state resource over a federal one, especially when the state uses such an unfriendly access system. Both the state and the federal government are equally authoritative on this matter, but one published the information in a way that loads much more quickly than the other, is in a more readily accessible format and displays in higher resolution. Additionally, because the NPS source is in PDF format, I was able to create an archive of the document using webcite.org see [12].
Regarding the "one source" idea, I feel it is obvious that any article is more authoritative and credible when it can reference multiple, high quality sources. The article we are discussing has only one high quality source, (the nomination document), one dead link and one working link that references a web site that I do not believe ranks very highly as a reputable source. Clearly, we should try to do better. The one source justification is especially lame considering that even the general information about the history of the company uses the NPS document as a reference. Other good sources on the general history of the company are available online via general web search or by searching google books. The main Marion Power Shovel (the company) article is seriously lacking in references (and has other problems). As I complete more research I plan to update that article with more credible, third party references. References that can be used in support of the Le Roy shovel article will be added there as well.
"nomination documents are often the only reliable source available" Baloney! Certainly when someone wrote the NPS nomination document, they were referencing historical documentation? The nominations are not written by hearsay. Although the documents and records that informed the creation of the nomination document may not be available -online-, they are out there. To be verifiable, Wikipedia sources don't have to be online, they just need to exist. While the NPS nomination may be the only good -online- source of information about the shovel, that document is most certainly not the only source of available information. The fact that you and I can't or won't make the necessary trip to Le Roy (or where ever the research takes us) to find and inspect the printed historical records isn't a justification for citing just one source. The "one source" notice is a fair one, letting readers and editors know that more research can be done and needs to be done in support of this article.
The Le Roy steam shovel article is an example of a well written article that would benefit from more referencing more quality sources. I hope that you would support all efforts to improve the article, especially those that help to strengthen the credibility of the article by referencing a number of good quality, third party sources.

Hello Daniel. I notice you reviewed this unblock request, and that the original blocker, KrakatoaKatie is inactive due to illness. She imposed a hardblock for one year. I found that I could not activate this IP as a proxy on port 443 and did not see the usual Google hits suggesting the IP, 115.113.11.239 ( talk · contribs), is an open proxy. The IP got three hits on spam blacklists, one from 79 days ago. I don't find evidence that this is the common IP for all of the Indian Institute of Management.

Hi Daniel - I recently noticed that you had denied my report to WP:AIV due to the reported user not being sufficiently warned. I was hoping if you could please elaborate?

I see that you declined to act on an AIV report on Mine's the scientist, commenting "Earlier edits were OK; only in the last couple of hours did they turn unacceptable and then stop. Remember that we usually warn people before blocking them." I have blocked the user, and, since this was overturning an administrative decision of yours, I feel I owe you the courtesy of explaining why. The first thing that struck me was that the editor's first few edits did not look remotely like the work of someone who had little or no previous experience of editing Wikipedia. I also noticed that these first few edits were perfectly constructive, but very minor, in several cases quite trivial. Then, after precisely ten such edits and 4 days plus some minutes after the account was created, the editor started making disruptive edits on articles which were semi-protected, so that autoconfirmation was required in order to do so. In my opinion that all adds up to enough evidence to decide that there is a quite calculated plan to establish a vandalism-only account and get round protection, enough, in my opinion, to justify an indefinite block. If you disagree please feel free to unblock, but in that case I trust you will let me know. (I would not be surprised if a search through the edit history of the articles would revel similar edits by one or more IPs before semiprotection, but I haven't bothered to check.)

Hi. Regarding the recent unblocking of Perk10 ( talk · contribs) "per discussion on talk page": the user of this account has made little secret of the fact that they have already evaded their indefinite block through the illegitimate use of an alternative account, Perk100 ( talk · contribs) (now indeffed). Conveniently, no mention of this blatant disregard for proper Wikipedia policy was made on Perk10's talk page, but I am curious how this unblocking is justified. Furthermore, Wikid77 ( talk · contribs)'s " reasoning" for granting the unblock appears to me to be far from convincing when it contains frankly bizarre statements that have rather little to do with the actual situation, such as "... the term "votestacking" is rather misleading in a WP:MfD discussion, where votes are not counted, and hence users cannot be expected to abide by illogical things being implied by such misleading terms" and "Some users fail to understand that blocking is not applied only to a username (to lose the reputation associated with that username) but a block applies to all edit-access, including as IP edits."

Hey Daniel, I am still struggling with my translation from this article into German. I actually did start it when i x-lated the article of the Kingston Stockade but messed up that time both towns because in bothe cases there's a Clinton Avenue and when typing in Clinton Avenue into google maps for better understanding the district borders Google showed Albany what I didn't see a first, so I had a hard time, since in both cases there was also the Broadway and the US 9, so I took me a while wondering. :D

Is this user really a vandal? Despite the rollbacking of all their edits, I don't actually see any indisputable vandalism, certainly nothing that warrants a block for vandalism. If I'm missing something, feel free to let me know.
On an unrelated note, you really should have a talk page for IPs. Regards, Swarm X 00:17, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
First off, I think you meant WP:DENY, or maybe you didn't. Meanwhile, I learned that vandals vandalize Wikipedia because they wish to get a reaction, or maybe a serious effect of some sort (possibly a shrine dedicated to them, like Jaraxle Artemis). Giving them the reaction encourages vandalism, and the common vandal is weak against the secret weapons: Twinkle and Huggle. Upon locating the position of a vandal, one is advised to vaporise its deconstructive edits, call backup, and ignore it.

Just wanted to say "thanks" really for the Wedding dress of Kate Middleton stuff. It's completely bizarre to suddenly have things I did on here in good faith 6 years ago suddenly used against me in a debate about an unrelated article. I guess that just proves my naivety regarding my user page, but regardless, I really appreciated your thoughtful contributions. - Kez ( talk) 14:41, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Daniel,
Re my comments on the AfD thing, I've apologised to Kez already - and all I can say is that I was almost certainly having one of 'those days' - you know the sort where the brain goes off on one, and we say / write things that we wouldn't normally do? That was really definitely out of character for me, and I hope I've straightened things out ok with Kez. I do take his point that the userbox was a six-years-old thing - but I had no way of knowing that other than going and checking through his user page history, nor did I have any way of knowing that it reflected his thoughts as a young teenager, rather than his current viewpoint,neither of which (I know) constitutes 'a defence' , but hopefully 'mitigating circumstances'. It was the bizarreness of the combination of the 'inclusionist' box, and the 'Royalty and Nobility Barnstar' (which I don't think I mentioned, having reined in my insanity somewhat), and the choice of that particular article as a nomination.
Apologies to you, too, if I irritated or upset you. There's always some spill-over between WikiLife and Real Life, and I suspect that this may also have contributed. Do, please, be assured that it was pretty out-of-character for me; and I shall (attempt to) be on my guard against letting the SnarkMonster Within off its lead again! All the best, Pesky ( talk) 08:22, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Daniel. I'm afraid you seem to have inadvertently malformatted a quote with your reformatting here. I imagine you thought that the blockquote was being used decoratively, but in fact that entire run of content was copied verbatim from the source. Removing the formatting put the content in violation of WP:NFC. That could be fixed by restoring the quotation, but I've pulled the material, as it wasn't really a suitable quote to begin with. There's nothing transformative about it. I'll talk to the contributor about that, but I just thought I'd let you know what happened here. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:40, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Daniel,
Upon further review of Peekskill (Metro-North station), I noticed that a link to the MTA's page about the station was listed in both references and external links (it was the same link in each). My first instinct is to simply remove the duplicate link from the external links section and keep it in references. Is this correct or is it fine to have the same link in both.
If I did delete it from external links, should I delete the whole section entirely (since this is the only link there)?

That's an interesting article you created on Ski Lift No. 1. I wouldn't have suspected that a simple chairlift could have made it to the National Register, but being that it spurred the development of Aspen, it makes a lot of sense that it got onto the National Register.
Also, it's nice to see a well fleshed-out article appearing at WP:NRHP, unlike all the two-sentence stubs and four-paragraph arguments that seem to be the norm there. Keep up the good work. -- Elkman (Elkspeak) 18:35, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Daniel,

Hey, my watchlist has seen alot of activity recently, notably on Northern Ireland related issues. Always the same thing. And I see Homebirdni has been accused of being a sock puppet again. Why is it always the same people pointing the finger, I think you need to review that case again. Looking at the evidence and Homebird has already said this but some of the evidence is very funny. Like the punctuation before his signing. Both Northern Counties and Highking contributed and they both sign off with ' --'. Does this mean they are socks? no, well who knows, and also he spelt 'chinesse' wrong. Could be a typo as 'e' and 's' are beside each other on the keyboard. Hardly substantial evidence. If you are a school teacher and you see 1 boy getting picked on by 4 boys. Do you suspend the 1 boy for 'not being able to play well with others'. Well no, and certainly not in a sockpuppet case but in this case you have. What sort of evidence would satisfy you because the evidence against is weak. I understand that admins are very busy so you can only really take a look at a glance, but if you look at every post made, you would probably think again. Maybe do a checkuser on facto/homebird/and that random ip and maybe do a checkuser on highking and northerncounties, as these 2 users also sign off the same and seem to share the same opinion. worth checking Afterlife10 ( talk) 11:34, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello!^^ User:Hersfold recommended me to contact any administrator for requesting help whenever I feel to present the article "Dedi" for the Did-you-know-page. The article Dedi is about an egyptian magician and my first bigger project. I have worked really hard for translation and studying the literatures. Now I wish to present my work to the public. But, different to my works in german Wikipedia I yet don`t know exactly how to manage the presentation here. Would you help me out? It would be a GREAT favor you would do to me. Do you have questions about the article? Please don`t hesitate to set questions on my discussion page. Best regards;-- Nephiliskos ( talk) 17:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Daniel, you appear to have been doing some sincere and dedicated research for the Perp walk article, which I applaud, but it seems that we have an edit conflict over the use of a "Notes" section when a "References" section is also used within the same article. You recently posted an additional 'note' after I previously removed the 'Notes' section as unneeded in my opinion. My action caused your latest "note" to become a broken reference and mess up the page. I would like to discuss with you and work together with you so we can do what we can to avoid breaking the article further. I am still concerned by your usage of 'notes' within the article but I would prefer we "un-break" the article first so it is readable and then discuss our issues later. Cheers, Veriss ( talk) 05:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
Acting in good faith, and lacking response from you, I restored the 'Notes' section in the article so the article is no longer broken and your most recent note displays properly until we can have a chat. Sincerely, Veriss ( talk) 05:48, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Hard4me ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), whom you have blocked, is requesting to be unblocked. The request for unblock is on hold while waiting for a comment from you. I have looked at quite a few of the editor's edits, and it does not look like vandalism to me, though there may be examples I have missed. The user name will have to be changed if there is to be an unblock, but the thing which gives me greatest pause is the comments from EdJohnston and you about about "sock suspicions". I haven't seen anything about those suspicions anywhere else: can you clarify? (I will ask EdJohnston too.) JamesBWatson ( talk) 19:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Daniel--
I wanted to get your opinion as I noticed you are an admin in WP: UAA.
A user noted that my username, I Jethrobot looks like a bot name and is in violation based on what is written at Wikipedia:Username_policy#Appropriate_usernames. While I can change my username if I am specifically asked to, I made this account in 2006 before policies about -bot related usernames were around (also, it feels a little strange to nominate my own username for a violation). My contributions are by no means extensive for a five-year account, but I did spend a lot of time working in the Nintendo Video Games WikiProject when I started and have recently been working hard in WP: AfD. I have no record of vandalism and have tried to avoid edit wars or other poor editing / discussion behavior.
If possible, I would like to retain my name under the grandfather clause mentioned in Wikipedia:Username_policy#Appropriate_usernames. Otherwise, if this is not possible, I will certainly change my username to something else, though I would like to retain my contribution history.
Thanks, -- I Jethrobot ( talk) 03:07, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed you recently added NRHP info to Third County Courthouse. Although there's no reason it shouldn't be, I suspect it may not be on the NRHP.
