hi. I think about a year ago you edited the above article and added a picture of the ship with the caption that it was rigged as a barque. From memory, I think this image is one of a series which I recall the book said were drawn by a member of the crew, showing the ship dismasted in a storm. Looking at the picture I think it shows chopped off masts and yards from the top masts still hanging, not a barque rig. I wondered whether you had some source for your caption?

Djembayz, can you please quit adding Native American language names to places that do not have a historic Native American name? It is one thing if a geographic feature like mountain range or river has a historic name, but Montana communities such as Helena, Miles City and Fort Benton (just to name a few) were never settlements prior to the arrival of white settlers; it would be different if a town had been built on a village site, but these were not. Furthermore, the Assiniboine people were not necessarily the people who even claimed these territories anyway (the Blackfeet tended to be more active in North Central Montana, for example.) Please don't do this without a reliable source giving a proper historic name, just because a word is in a dictionary doesn't mean it actually has a historic context. Montanabw (talk) 21:37, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
I also reverted your addition of a Tolowa name for Manzanita, Oregon as a bit too bold. Manzanita is north of the Tolowa range; Tillamook or Nehalem were spoken in this area. I suspect your translation refers to manzanita the coastal shrub, for which the town of Manzanita was named when it was platted in 1912. Cataobh ( talk) 19:06, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

BHi, Djembayz! I notice you added the Alibamu name to the Houston article. It's interesting, but I'm not sure if that's putting undue weight on the name itself. I don't think it's very important enough for the main article (it could go under a "names of Houston" or something like that)
The issue is that Houston has no significant Alibamu population, in the area or around it. You probably noticed the Arizona and New Mexico cities with Native American names. In those cases, significant Native American populations exist, and large Native American reservations dot the areas. In southeast Texas many of the Native Americans are extinct, or fully assimilated. There is the Alabama-Coushatta reservation between Livingston and Woodville. Native American names involving the Reservation and/or a few communities nearby would be highly relevant.

Before Wikipedia, I did the research and the writing on several US Navy warships for our local military museum. DANFS and Wikipedia became my primary sources of reference, because so little other information was available. What I found then (and now as a WikiProject Ships participant) was the Wikipedia articles were actually DANFS articles that had been cut and pasted. In a reverse kind of way, it makes DANFS the original Wikipedia contributor and often the article’s primary reference source. As you know, DANFS articles are similar: lots of jargon, untypical in style, and speak to places more often than events. Yet, as I see it, DANFS is a comprehensive and accurate source, and in many (perhaps most) cases maybe the only reference source. To me, DANFS articles are unique and should be treated that way, but they do present special editing problems-at least for me. • Books are not written on every Navy ship, which scuttles in line citations. • DANFS might be the only reference source available: is that enough weight to make the article creditable in the eyes of a critic? • Each time I step up to the plate, I hope to make the article a little clearer, and a bit more concise, yet keeping the contributor in mind. • So if the standard of acceptable readability is met, to what extent should this atypical style of DANFS be dealt with – jargon, style, and places vs. events? Reviewing Wikipedia:Peer review/USS Mahan (DD-364)/archive1 should answer any questions you may have on my reason for writing. Thank you. Pendright ( talk) 23:14, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, about the addition that you made to List of hawthorn species with black fruit, do you have more information such as whether there is a Kutenai name for hawthorn with red fruit?

Djembayz, As you know, I'm reviewing your article (which is fascinating) - and just had one question. Under all your numbered references there is an unnumbered reference for the Kroeber book. Is that supposed to be one of the numbered references -- or perhaps a footnote as opposed to a reference (in which case, would it need a footnote heading, similar to the references heading?) Once I know if that Kroeber line is a mistake (and should be incorporated into the other references) or is correctly there for a wikipedia reason with which I'm unfamiliar, I'll go ahead and ok the article.

So uh, I haven't been doing the best jorb ever, but I have been staring at the language page with good intent and asking questions to the wind on the talk page for it. I've definitely edited more since Wikimania, I think. At least I'm not scared of signing in any more.
Today I felt reckless after having a good morning, so I noticed that a Native page was missing. It's a woman musician, but scarily I can probably get more reliable references for her than some of the assertions I want to make about the language. Culture is close enough when I notice it's missing, right? :D
Anyway, my practice page is here. I know it's still very stubby, but I want it in here eventually.

Sorry for the much long delayed response. That dictionary, to my knowledge, is the most recent dictionary of the Mohawk language to be published. It's based on the Western dialect as it's spoken here in Tyendinaga. It was written in 1990, though, and a standardized orthography for Mohawk wasn't developed until 1993. It's one of the few texts on Mohawk to note its tone system though. Another good one is 1000 Mohawk Words, I forget the offer but it's in the Canadian Museum of Civilization's mercury series. In both those texts you will notice slight discrepencies between the standardized orthography and the orthography used, but they are similar enough that you can easily write them over into standardized orthography if you wish.
I will check out the Mohawk incubator project. My Mohawk is introductory at best, though. Oosting ( talk) 19:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Djembayz, I thought you and your friends might be interested to know that we have two Wikipedia workshops coming up in Baltimore. I expect them to be pretty low-key. Also they're only three hours apiece. (Progress on a real 'edit-a-thon' at the Enoch Pratt Free Library is slow.) All are welcome! (Bringing computers/internet is great but not required—we can share.)
The venue is the Baltimore Free School now located at 516 W. Franklin St.
Times
Saturday, December 8: 2PM–5PM
Tuesday, December 18: 6PM–9PM
Hi Djembayz, thanks for adding this link [1] in Canoe. This is no doubt a useful resource regarding the subject at hand, i.e. traditional canoe building, but I believe that inline references are meant to back up specific content in the article. WP:cite says "Citations are an important part of any Wikipedia article, serving to identify the reliable sources on which the article is based". So it seems like link shouldn't be there (maybe more of an external link type thing)? Maybe I'll try to take some time to look at the resource and see if there's material there we can use in the article... -- Cornellier ( talk) 16:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, noticed your page for a Missoula meetup, I'm not in Missoula so not apt to be able to attend, but curious what you have planned; I don't know of many/any other editors in Missoula, so will you be training a herd of newbies? Any ideas of the direction you want to take? I ask for two reasons: one, if it goes, maybe I can try it in my community too, but also, a self-preservation plea that be careful with turning newbies loose because it's NOT fun to have to go into a whole bunch of articles that went from marginal to longer but more marginal. For example, the last time we had a newbie-thon hit one Montana article, we had removal of refs, replaced with a term paper with bad refs and no wiki markup. I did a fast fix to this, then Mike Cline went to work on it and it now looks like this. So while in the long run, the article was improved, it created a short-term crisis management mode on the part of more experienced editors. So I hope that when people go in to "improve" articles, they also learn a few basics, like use of simple ref tags and wikilinks. But good luck, and hugs to you for giving this a shot!

hi. I think about a year ago you edited the above article and added a picture of the ship with the caption that it was rigged as a barque. From memory, I think this image is one of a series which I recall the book said were drawn by a member of the crew, showing the ship dismasted in a storm. Looking at the picture I think it shows chopped off masts and yards from the top masts still hanging, not a barque rig. I wondered whether you had some source for your caption?

Djembayz, can you please quit adding Native American language names to places that do not have a historic Native American name? It is one thing if a geographic feature like mountain range or river has a historic name, but Montana communities such as Helena, Miles City and Fort Benton (just to name a few) were never settlements prior to the arrival of white settlers; it would be different if a town had been built on a village site, but these were not. Furthermore, the Assiniboine people were not necessarily the people who even claimed these territories anyway (the Blackfeet tended to be more active in North Central Montana, for example.) Please don't do this without a reliable source giving a proper historic name, just because a word is in a dictionary doesn't mean it actually has a historic context. Montanabw (talk) 21:37, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
I also reverted your addition of a Tolowa name for Manzanita, Oregon as a bit too bold. Manzanita is north of the Tolowa range; Tillamook or Nehalem were spoken in this area. I suspect your translation refers to manzanita the coastal shrub, for which the town of Manzanita was named when it was platted in 1912. Cataobh ( talk) 19:06, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

BHi, Djembayz! I notice you added the Alibamu name to the Houston article. It's interesting, but I'm not sure if that's putting undue weight on the name itself. I don't think it's very important enough for the main article (it could go under a "names of Houston" or something like that)
The issue is that Houston has no significant Alibamu population, in the area or around it. You probably noticed the Arizona and New Mexico cities with Native American names. In those cases, significant Native American populations exist, and large Native American reservations dot the areas. In southeast Texas many of the Native Americans are extinct, or fully assimilated. There is the Alabama-Coushatta reservation between Livingston and Woodville. Native American names involving the Reservation and/or a few communities nearby would be highly relevant.

Before Wikipedia, I did the research and the writing on several US Navy warships for our local military museum. DANFS and Wikipedia became my primary sources of reference, because so little other information was available. What I found then (and now as a WikiProject Ships participant) was the Wikipedia articles were actually DANFS articles that had been cut and pasted. In a reverse kind of way, it makes DANFS the original Wikipedia contributor and often the article’s primary reference source. As you know, DANFS articles are similar: lots of jargon, untypical in style, and speak to places more often than events. Yet, as I see it, DANFS is a comprehensive and accurate source, and in many (perhaps most) cases maybe the only reference source. To me, DANFS articles are unique and should be treated that way, but they do present special editing problems-at least for me. • Books are not written on every Navy ship, which scuttles in line citations. • DANFS might be the only reference source available: is that enough weight to make the article creditable in the eyes of a critic? • Each time I step up to the plate, I hope to make the article a little clearer, and a bit more concise, yet keeping the contributor in mind. • So if the standard of acceptable readability is met, to what extent should this atypical style of DANFS be dealt with – jargon, style, and places vs. events? Reviewing Wikipedia:Peer review/USS Mahan (DD-364)/archive1 should answer any questions you may have on my reason for writing. Thank you. Pendright ( talk) 23:14, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Is that supposed to be one of the numbered references -- or perhaps a footnote as opposed to a reference (in which case, would it need a footnote heading, similar to the references heading?)

So uh, I haven't been doing the best jorb ever, but I have been staring at the language page with good intent and asking questions to the wind on the talk page for it. I've definitely edited more since Wikimania, I think. At least I'm not scared of signing in any more.
Today I felt reckless after having a good morning, so I noticed that a Native page was missing. It's a woman musician, but scarily I can probably get more reliable references for her than some of the assertions I want to make about the language. Culture is close enough when I notice it's missing, right? :D
Anyway, my practice page is here. I know it's still very stubby, but I want it in here eventually.

Sorry for the much long delayed response. That dictionary, to my knowledge, is the most recent dictionary of the Mohawk language to be published. It's based on the Western dialect as it's spoken here in Tyendinaga. It was written in 1990, though, and a standardized orthography for Mohawk wasn't developed until 1993. It's one of the few texts on Mohawk to note its tone system though. Another good one is 1000 Mohawk Words, I forget the offer but it's in the Canadian Museum of Civilization's mercury series. In both those texts you will notice slight discrepencies between the standardized orthography and the orthography used, but they are similar enough that you can easily write them over into standardized orthography if you wish.
I will check out the Mohawk incubator project. My Mohawk is introductory at best, though. Oosting ( talk) 19:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Djembayz, thank you for showing me all of those NARA images in the library today. Now I suppose it's time to join Wikimedia DC, but I don't know what to do. Send $10 through the mail? groupuscule ( talk) 22:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

![]() | On 29 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Darshan Ranganathan, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that organic chemist Darshan Ranganathan did pioneering work in protein folding? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Darshan Ranganathan. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi! I have noticed you have been doing some great work in properly moving some articles from stub class to a desired C. Unfortunately you are forgetting to Complete their B-Class Checklists. Please fill out this: | B1 = y/n | B2 = y/n | B3 = y/n | B4 = y/n | B5 = y/n
for any future MILHIST upgrades past start or the simplified |B1=y/n|B2=y/n|B3=y/n|B4=y/n|B5=y/n. This will prevent them form falling into a backlog I am currently trying to clear. Much Ado, -- MOLEY ( talk) 04:51, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Djembayz: I’ve added references to the USS Mahan (DD-364) article in the manner you suggested. I’m now looking for the way to proceed. Is there any chance you could look at the article again? If not, could you offer any suggestions that might help me move the article closer to launch. In any event, thank you. Pendright ( talk) 00:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the info my wiki looks different now, I hope the Wikipedia Members linke it. That one guy told me he will never let me publish anything. But his loss my info is solid. I dont see why it should not be in wikipedia. It tells how Spain was form by the 6 kingdoms in their flag. And how the Kings fougth to keep their crown. In the zambrana heraldic records it shows princess and murder. And even local legends like Jaun Zuria. And a great records of arms.
thans again for your info.

Hi Djembayz, I thought you and your friends might be interested to know that we have two Wikipedia workshops coming up in Baltimore. I expect them to be pretty low-key. Also they're only three hours apiece. (Progress on a real 'edit-a-thon' at the Enoch Pratt Free Library is slow.) All are welcome! (Bringing computers/internet is great but not required—we can share.)
The venue is the Baltimore Free School now located at 516 W. Franklin St.
Times
Saturday, December 8: 2PM–5PM
Tuesday, December 18: 6PM–9PM
Hi Djembayz, thanks for adding this link [1] in Canoe. This is no doubt a useful resource regarding the subject at hand, i.e. traditional canoe building, but I believe that inline references are meant to back up specific content in the article. WP:cite says "Citations are an important part of any Wikipedia article, serving to identify the reliable sources on which the article is based". So it seems like link shouldn't be there (maybe more of an external link type thing)? Maybe I'll try to take some time to look at the resource and see if there's material there we can use in the article... -- Cornellier ( talk) 16:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

December 10 is Ada Lovelace's birthday! Not only was she the world's first computer programmer, but also the world's first female open source developer! Come celebrate with Wikimedia District of Columbia at Busboys & Poets for an informal get together!
The Washington, DC event will be held on Monday, December 10, 2012 at Busboys & Poets on 5th St NW & K St NW near Mt Vernon Square. The area is easily accessible by the Red Line Chinatown stop and the Yellow Line and Green Line Mt Vernon Square stop, as well as by WMATA buses.

Please join Wikimedia DC and four other local media nonprofits—the National Press Club's Young Members Committee, 100Reporters, IRE and the Fund for Investigative Journalism—in winding down another year with a night of well-mannered frivolity.
The festivities will take place on Friday evening from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the Zenger Room on the 13th Floor of the National Press Club, located on 529 14th Street NW, near Metro Center. There will be meat and vegetarian appetizers as well as a cash bar with specially reduced drink prices all night long. In addition, we will be exhibiting the finalists of the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest at the event.
Hope to see you there! Kirill [talk] 04:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, noticed your page for a Missoula meetup, I'm not in Missoula so not apt to be able to attend, but curious what you have planned; I don't know of many/any other editors in Missoula, so will you be training a herd of newbies? Any ideas of the direction you want to take? I ask for two reasons: one, if it goes, maybe I can try it in my community too, but also, a self-preservation plea that be careful with turning newbies loose because it's NOT fun to have to go into a whole bunch of articles that went from marginal to longer but more marginal. For example, the last time we had a newbie-thon hit one Montana article, we had removal of refs, replaced with a term paper with bad refs and no wiki markup. I did a fast fix to this, then Mike Cline went to work on it and it now looks like this. So while in the long run, the article was improved, it created a short-term crisis management mode on the part of more experienced editors. So I hope that when people go in to "improve" articles, they also learn a few basics, like use of simple ref tags and wikilinks. But good luck, and hugs to you for giving this a shot!
