Hey there. Thought I would ask you a quesdtion about HOW one creates a new category? The reason is that I have FINALLY been able to get lists together on what specific towns in WV belonged to specifc coal fields. Ergo, WHY NOT have a category that states town x, belong to the coalfield Y. The specific coalfield in question is the Winding Gulf Coal Field, BUT there are of course several more coal fields and I thought, WHY NOT do something and help out?

Hey there, I have a doozy of a style question for you. I am at this time delighted to have created a Coal town article and an approved article on Coal Scrip. BUT, since the archetype structure in a coal town is, The Company store, I was , CONCERNED because, I was redirected to the Truck System. In a coal town, you went to the store, it did evolve into a type of truck system because, there was nothing else for miles around, kind of well remote. I think the current redirect is a total political POV which is a valid discussion but fails to define what the Company store was. It would be fabulos to have that as a part of an article, but I have no wish to revisit grad school and discuss post structuralist socialist arguments that made academics feel great while my family worked to death in a coal camp. SO, in keeping with the neutral POV which I would like, what would be the proper and nice way to say, hey, we will have a new article here and can we have the politics a part of an article the defines what a Company Store was?

And for your starting a number of ND NRHP articles, too. I'm curious if some/all of the pics might be your own, you don't have to say of course. As you've seen, I've started a bunch more ND NRHP articles and have included the pics you linked. If there are any articles which you wanted to start, which I could avoid so that you could, I would be happy to oblige. Otherwise I will likely get the remaining ones started shortly.

Hey- Quick question. In all of the articles I am creating in KY and WV, I am noticing a number of edits by a person removing United States as they state Having Hazard County, Kentucky, United States, makes USA Superfluous and then they tell me about a standard. Thats cool, WHAT standard? I have requested the standard or its location and the "reply" is more edits. Personally, I do not mind the edits. However, its piss poor form to transmit an edict and then not bother to give a reference or direction because I need to either "suck it up" or "figure it out". If it were me, I would try as your example has shown as well. SO, in the effort of assuming good faith, do you know where this reference is? MUCH appreciated. My apologies for the churlish nature of the post but I do not mind rules, we need them, its edicts and no reasoning Coal town guy ( talk) 13:02, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey- Need your keen eye. As you know I created an artcile on coal scrip. I actually submitted it for approval because the other article on Company Scrip is at best a lecture I heard ibn grad school on post socialist structuralism.....I madeit a sure thing to quote, verbatim, no original research. Now it has no original research and factual citations tags....So, I edited it. It needs to be expanded oh yes, but, what am I missing??

I'd like to ask for your comments on the proposed merger of the recently created South Side Elevated (CTA) into Green Line (CTA). This was done by the same user who created the Ravenswood branch article that was merged into the Brown Line article. Looking at his user page it looks like he's preparing to create two new articles which would really be sub articles of Green Line and Red Line (CTA), neither of which are developed enough to have such pages. I tried explaining to him that we don't create sub pages like that until ready for them, but he either doesn't understand or doesn't care. He also created an article (since speedily deleted) on a fictional Gold Line of his own devising. I ask for your assistance because he seems to be becoming quite irate. He has made some good edits I would rather not be the cause of the loss of a member of the Wiki community. Lost on Belmont 3200N ( talk) 03:51, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi-I came across Sinnipee (also Sinipee) in Grant County, Wisconsin. It was a community near Dubuque, Iowa in the 19th Century before it disappeared. I think Lock and Dam #7 flooded whats left of Sinnipee (Sinipee). The Sinnipee Cemetery is whats left of the community and that is in the GNIS. GNIS spells it as Sinnipee; the Wisconsin Historical Society spells it Sinipee. Several ghost towns website lists Sinnipee, Wisconsin as a ghost town.

Hey- MANY thanks for the cross cat query as I have rescued a few articles for certain. BUT, I have a question. MANY articles with zero references are listed as being in a neighborhood. In other words, at one point this place was its own entity and then over time, it got sucked into a larger neighborhood or rather, defined as being in a neighbohood. GNIS does not provide any data oin this. Many had their own PO etc etc
SO, WTF do I do with these are far as defining them? Are they an unincorporated community? OR do I just say, Oh well, its a neighborhood? I have not the slightest of what to do and there are alot of them Coal town guy ( talk) 13:45, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi-I am looking up information about Mapleworks (Maple Works), Wisconsin which is a ghost town near the village of Granton, Wisconsin in Clark County [2] Orangemike asked me to research this. I would do the article but there is no GNIS. Also there is a book about Wood County, Wisconsin of which I have used and there were mention of lumbering communities like Scranton, Wisconsin, etc. that are no longer in existence. Coalguy and I had talked about Wisconsin's logging/lumbering industry and the fact there were communities that sprung up and then died. You can included lead mining. Any comments?Thanks- RFD ( talk) 20:42, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey, take a look at Kalaupapa, Hawaii
These folks have an active post office (got their postmark at my home just a few weeks ago), tours etc etc and a set population. Sure, its a leper colony and one of the very very few if only populated leper colonies in the US. Now, I am ok with ghost towns. I have lived in some former towns which are worthy of webster/wiki ghost towns, virtually no population, NO post office and certainly a "tour" would be a drunken bet. SO, help me out here.....if you could PLEASE. WHY is thia place in the category of ghost towns in Hawaii??? Coal town guy ( talk) 13:36, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey, per our chats, I think you are 100% on target, can we rename Waikolu Valley Molokai to Waikolu, Hawaii. Otherwise, the valley itself, while very beautiful, is not even listed in GNIS but the Civil place, Waikolu is. Many thanks for putting in alot of listening to a chat about the water supply for a sparsely populated leper colony in the US Coal town guy ( talk) 00:18, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

You reminded me of my recent quest of getting a Recluse WY postmark. They were polite, and per my request, provided me with a copy of an article explaining the name origin of recluse. I spoke with their postmaster, turns out that Recluse has a population of zero during certain times in the winter as everyone goes south and warms up. Red Devil AK, went without their PO recently because and I quote the postal record, this was a small town and nobody wanted to be the postmaster...humorous, and yet rather cool Coal town guy ( talk) 02:31, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Oldy, BUT a goody here. I spoke at length with the Post Master at Recluse. She is related to the original folks who settled the area AND USPS postmaster finder confirms the names). According to a Gilette WY news article, Recluse was a name borrowed from a SD Indian reservation. I can find no such record of a place in GNIS...so, I may have to do more looking.

I understand, and I'm only trying to get 2 (MAYBE 3) of the articles deleted, so I put them on the AfD list instead of a proposed deletion. We'll see where it goes from there. Since one article is an unsourced stub that can't be expanded (Rat Salad) and the other article is just a flowery biased description (Electric Funeral) both of which prove no notability, I think the editors will take my side. I'm sorry If I came off rude, it's just this other user keeps opposing my assertions without a reason except for the fact he probably is a huge Sabbath fan.

I hate being wrong. I'm used to being the smartest person in the room and it is very humbling for me when I am wrong about something because I'm not athletic, and when it comes to brains or brawn, brains is whats i gots. This doesn't mean that I won't nominate unicorporated townships for Afd ever again, but it does mean that I won't make the assumption that they can't be sourced. If there is one thing I hate more than wasting time, is being the cause of wasted time. (Self Trout) this is particularly frustrating when I can't get autopatrolled rights because I'm shy of my 50 created pages on one hand, while on the other hand I'm accused by some of being a nazi-like deletionist. It doesn't matter how many years I've been editing, it seems that when it comes to Wikipedia you are only as good as your last few edits, agreed? Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your efforts, and I think you are a really cool person. Here's a barnstar:

Hey there- On several main WV County pages is a list of communities and then, in the county template, the communities are listed again. HOWEVER, my issue is as follows: In Fayette and Wood Counties, the number of communities (thank you thank you) has grown and listing them on the main county page would be at best, bad formatting.....Do you think it would be OK to indicate that the list if partial, as in Unincorporated Comminities (partial) and then tell them to look in the template below (Partial list, see county box below for full list)????? Please do let me know. As Greenbrier, Kanawha, Raleigh Wood and Fayette would be AT BEST problematic.........OR, should we just remove the freaking list from the County page??

Hey- I have attemp[ted to contact an editor in good faith concerning Beckley, West Virginia and Bradshaw. Specifically, Beckley has a cat of Populated places established in 1838. In 1838, Beckley, was a piece of paper. It was not until some 10+ years later that the place had streets (mud paths) much less permanent settlers in the city proper. Should we have this category there?
Bradshw was a total copy of an article, which I removed the copied material after citing the url where they basically, copied the whole freaking page with zero refs..."Jewel" of WV, majestic mountains, friendly people etc etc, uh...NO. At least not in Wiki terms. My contention is WTF is that article, a start?? Should it even be a start. Hell I added the zip code, HOW could you have a start there?

I have some pics (good ones, mine, public etc etc) that will explain the political side of St Johns at Stotesbury. LOOOONG ago, in 2002, coal field history folks like myself were the red headed bastard step kids that everyone did not like, ESPECIALLY in small towns that are, to be kind, aesthetically challenged.....St Johns was the black church, all wood multiple stories, look on Flickr, look for a user named whitbywv, you will see. I have a pic of the foundation stone. They let the church go to collapse, preserving it would have been an attraction, because, the church was ...stunning. The white church, also nice, BUT NOT stunning still has services. It is perfectly maintained. It has no graveyard. The church at St Johns, had a cemetery, a black cemetery, rather historic, and NOT well maintained. Many of us, would watch the place. We babysat it and shared notes on Skype, or Yahoo. The collapse was not a surprise. The only thing I will say, in my own encyclopedic fashion is that I took photos inside before the collapse, I did video, and, its, very odd, some things, you just cant explain, that was an odd place Coal town guy ( talk) 15:46, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey- The cool thing about trying to get the FL status out of WV counties is that I am able to peruse my library at home with gusto.......SO, I actually found the historical reference that in 1838, Beckley WV was a piece of paper and folks got their jollies laughing their collective posteriors off at Alfred Beckley, the founder..... Beckley, West Virginia. Ironically, I so saw my Beckley Centennial medal and posted it to the Beckley page as well. Many thanks for the look see on these WV pages, I think I might actually become a better editor, some day Coal town guy ( talk) 14:51, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Sorry if I caused more work for you using HotCat to categorize debates. After a few times I caught on that I wasn't doing it right. I looked around at DelSort but didn't see a how to guide for doing it manually so I didn't know where to start out cleaning up my mess. It looks like a tool is necessary to do it more easily, and I will look in to getting one so I can (actually) help out. By fixing my mistakes you helped me figure out how to do it correctly.

Hey- Take a look here. Remember when I said that in May something really cool would happen? Funny thing about coal scrip, WV has the largest diversity of its issuers (LOTS OF COAL TOWNS). Anyway, in May, via alot of very cool people, I get to run a scrip machine. An actual, from the day, machine that issued scrip. I believe it is one of 2 actual functioning original machines. I would love to expand the article link I provided and eventually, make it GA. HOWEVER, I would need a WV history person who might find this interesting. I already let Caponer know but he is in a move right now. I thought you might have some input later about how to build the article Coal town guy ( talk) 15:37, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi-I just found out that part of the town of Bloomfield, Walworth County, Wisconsin was incorporated as a village in early 2012. Some of the recent information mention that sections of the town of Bloomfield, Walworth County, Wisconsin could be annex to other incorporated areas like Genoa City, Wisconsin. To add to the confusion the village and town are located at the Bloomfield Town Hall. There is a possibilty the town of Bloomfield in Walworth could be dissolved. Also the CDP of Pell Lake, Wisconsin was incorporated into the new village and the Pell Lake Sanitary District was dissolved as a result. Any assistance and help in sorting this would appreciated. I will let User: Rockfang known. Rockfang has help out with Wisconsin articles about sections of Wisconsin town incorporating into villages. Thanks- RFD ( talk) 12:47, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi-I am still watching for developments on the new village of Harrison in Calumet County, Wisconsin. According to the Town of Harrison website the Wisconsin Circuit Court order for the incorporation referendum was to be for the Village of Harrison. The new Village of Harrison is in the Darboy, Wisconsin area. The Secretary of State Doug LaFollette needs to certify the incorporation papers.

Hello TheCatalyst31! I have been a daily user of Wikipedia for almost a decade now. I haven't started many pages (actually, I can't even remember if I've actually created one before tonight!), but I have tried my best to keep it "clean & correct" around various articles. I've never marked any pages for deletion or questioned the authors for their sources.. as everything I've ever "needed" from Wikipedia I could verify from an outside sources (kudos! for we have an amazing resource here...). Tonight I started the article Fin Leavell who is one of my -and many others - favorite musicians of all time. He has released countless album internationally and is known by quite a large audience. 30 minutes after I saved the page, I got flagged for notability and sources. While I can see how the article could be confusing to someone who didn't have a lot of knowledge on the music scene, I would just like some help trying to fix the article. I can't tell if the person who flagged me is a new user or not? And this is the first time I'm using a talk page - I feel way more comfortable asking you a question since I see a whole bunch of questions below me. Thank you and I appreciate any help that could be given. I also wanted to note that the article isn't 100% completed. I did plan on filling in some juicy details about performances on the Cartoon Network, at the Playboy Mansion, music contributed to the Playboy video game, music contributed to movie and television soundtracks, touring mates, producers connected to him, and additional notability information. I just couldn't do it tonight. Again, I hope you can help. Thank you :) Ilikesealife ( talk) aka Melody Letecia

Hey there- I did indeed find the KY data online. Question though. I have a copy of Delormes WV Atlas and Gazetteer. I know of a few places I could ref usingh this BUT here is my question: With the KY data, there is a number associated and I could get a link and go from there. BUT, with the WV data, a hard copy, I have no number as a place identifier. I could use a page? and that could be an inline ref? I was also going to ask Catalyst as he has done a PILE of WV locations as well. ANY feedback you have would of course be welcome. I have asked Nyytend this as well, BUT I want to be clear and have a sort of consensus. I have ALOT of WV places which I can add....BUT I would have to rely on the Delorme Atlas AND of course a link to the WV Culture and History Place Names Page on the web. In my edits, I have seen WV pages with sort of ref, WHAT do you think?? Coal town guy ( talk) 20:47, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey- Something of interest for some of us. I just scored a copy of "The American counties : origins of county names, dates of creation, and population data, 1950-2000" for rather cheap.
I was thinking of updating a "few" county hostories. OF NOTE, the book actually does list original county names, AND their renaming dates when it applies......Rather cool ref to have. However, I bought it used, NO WAY I would buy a new copy. SO, heads up IF there should be a few US counties getting some history added, OR if anyone wants a look up, you will know why Coal town guy ( talk) 13:19, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Right you are; I've undeleted it and included in the deletion log a link to your message. Basically, I thought that it was a case of someone (1) figuring that the convent complex should get the link because it's named Maryknoll and it's in New York [basically the same idea as how Long Island, New York redirects to Long Island], and (2) not knowing or not caring that there was a real community of the same name somewhere else in the state.

I'm pretty sure you're the only other person besides me to have run it... do you feel like anything needs to be changed?

Hey there, I have a doozy of a style question for you. I am at this time delighted to have created a Coal town article and an approved article on Coal Scrip. BUT, since the archetype structure in a coal town is, The Company store, I was , CONCERNED because, I was redirected to the Truck System. In a coal town, you went to the store, it did evolve into a type of truck system because, there was nothing else for miles around, kind of well remote. I think the current redirect is a total political POV which is a valid discussion but fails to define what the Company store was. It would be fabulos to have that as a part of an article, but I have no wish to revisit grad school and discuss post structuralist socialist arguments that made academics feel great while my family worked to death in a coal camp. SO, in keeping with the neutral POV which I would like, what would be the proper and nice way to say, hey, we will have a new article here and can we have the politics a part of an article the defines what a Company Store was?

Hey- Quick question. In all of the articles I am creating in KY and WV, I am noticing a number of edits by a person removing United States as they state Having Hazard County, Kentucky, United States, makes USA Superfluous and then they tell me about a standard. Thats cool, WHAT standard? I have requested the standard or its location and the "reply" is more edits. Personally, I do not mind the edits. However, its piss poor form to transmit an edict and then not bother to give a reference or direction because I need to either "suck it up" or "figure it out". If it were me, I would try as your example has shown as well. SO, in the effort of assuming good faith, do you know where this reference is? MUCH appreciated.

I'd like to ask for your comments on the proposed merger of the recently created South Side Elevated (CTA) into Green Line (CTA). This was done by the same user who created the Ravenswood branch article that was merged into the Brown Line article. Looking at his user page it looks like he's preparing to create two new articles which would really be sub articles of Green Line and Red Line (CTA), neither of which are developed enough to have such pages. I tried explaining to him that we don't create sub pages like that until ready for them, but he either doesn't understand or doesn't care. He also created an article (since speedily deleted) on a fictional Gold Line of his own devising. I ask for your assistance because he seems to be becoming quite irate. He has made some good edits I would rather not be the cause of the loss of a member of the Wiki community. Lost on Belmont 3200N ( talk) 03:51, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey- MANY thanks for the cross cat query as I have rescued a few articles for certain. BUT, I have a question. MANY articles with zero references are listed as being in a neighborhood. In other words, at one point this place was its own entity and then over time, it got sucked into a larger neighborhood or rather, defined as being in a neighbohood. GNIS does not provide any data oin this. Many had their own PO etc etc
SO, WTF do I do with these are far as defining them? Are they an unincorporated community? OR do I just say, Oh well, its a neighborhood? I have not the slightest of what to do and there are alot of them Coal town guy ( talk) 13:45, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey- Quick question. There was a place in WV named Take in Hollow. GNIS states this as a place but not populated. It was, by folks we called Hollow dwellers. I have pics of folks who lived there in their homes at that place and a moden sign showing a road that takes you there. However, I suspect, an article on this place would be original research. Is there a way I could make this a community or should I just be happy with the web page I maintain for the area? Coal town guy ( talk) 22:11, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello TheCatalyst31 i heard about this page called the Greater Eureka Area and the Eureka Metropolitan Area, and this guy made bunch of accounts on wikipedia, and this all goes back to somewhere in 2009, he has been making those silly tricks for more than 3 years already, this guy needs to stop, i wonder who is this guy, is he a kid or teenager, or someone under 18, i went through youtube searching for people who got banned from wikipedia, it turns out it was some teenagers, i would think this person is probably a teenager, and i agree with you, this guy needs to stop right now, i live in Eureka so i know how it is, i saw that he vandalized his talk page (as Mike3GO), and this user named Ponyo blocked him with no expiry date, this user needs to stop changing things on wikipedia, and this guy needs to grow up, and i know this person is a male, because i saw other users, and he usually uses this name Alan or Al Villarruel, i would think his name is Alan Villarruel, and this guy is somewhere between 12 and 17 years old, if i knew his parents i would tell his parents to tell him to stop, because this is getting old, very old, do admins have rights to delete accounts of editors of this guy, i would suggest to delete all his accounts, and have him not allowed on wikipedia, or otherwise he can just behave on wikipedia, i agree with you, this guy needs to stop, im not a admin, but you can do something about it, report it to the wikipedia company, or report it to wikipedia officers, like the CEO, Chairman, President, or Founder, because this guy is editing the same old things, and i also been seeing what is the Greater Eureka Area actually and i think it's a urban cluster, which includes Eureka and the surrounding CDPS, such as Myrtletown or Cutten, can i make a page about this urban area, i would like to make the Greater Eureka Area but not as a Metropolitan area, i would like to make the Greater Eureka Area page as a urban cluster, does wikipedia except urban areas on this site. well thank you very much for deleting this guy and if i were a admin, i would do the same thing as you did, and this same guy created a wiki, named Alanpedia, and claims that wikipedia is the worst website, and here is the link [1], and here is a page about all the urban areas in the State of California List of California urban areas and go down to number 59 and it will say about the Greater Eureka Area, and the Greater Eureka Area is a urban area, not a metro area, well thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeorgeWells ( talk • contribs) 03:05, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey, take a look at Kalaupapa, Hawaii
These folks have an active post office (got their postmark at my home just a few weeks ago), tours etc etc and a set population. Sure, its a leper colony and one of the very very few if only populated leper colonies in the US. Now, I am ok with ghost towns. I have lived in some former towns which are worthy of webster/wiki ghost towns, virtually no population, NO post office and certainly a "tour" would be a drunken bet.

I understand, and I'm only trying to get 2 (MAYBE 3) of the articles deleted, so I put them on the AfD list instead of a proposed deletion. We'll see where it goes from there. Since one article is an unsourced stub that can't be expanded (Rat Salad) and the other article is just a flowery biased description (Electric Funeral) both of which prove no notability, I think the editors will take my side.

I hate being wrong. I'm used to being the smartest person in the room and it is very humbling for me when I am wrong about something because I'm not athletic, and when it comes to brains or brawn, brains is whats i gots. This doesn't mean that I won't nominate unicorporated townships for Afd ever again, but it does mean that I won't make the assumption that they can't be sourced. If there is one thing I hate more than wasting time, is being the cause of wasted time. (Self Trout) this is particularly frustrating when I can't get autopatrolled rights because I'm shy of my 50 created pages on one hand, while on the other hand I'm accused by some of being a nazi-like deletionist. It doesn't matter how many years I've been editing, it seems that when it comes to Wikipedia you are only as good as your last few edits, agreed? Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your efforts, and I think you are a really cool person. Here's a barnstar:

Hi-Royalbroil left a comment on my talk page about Harrison (community), Calumet County, Wisconsin. There was an article in 1973 about Harrison being a ghost town and another unincorporated community in the area named Harrison that surrounds the town hall. Royalbroil suggests changing the coordinate in the article and maybe adding to the article. I do remember there was talking about incorporating a village in the area but I have not heard anything else. I will leave a message with Royalbroil.

Hey there- On several main WV County pages is a list of communities and then, in the county template, the communities are listed again. HOWEVER, my issue is as follows: In Fayette and Wood Counties, the number of communities (thank you thank you) has grown and listing them on the main county page would be at best, bad formatting.....Do you think it would be OK to indicate that the list if partial, as in Unincorporated Comminities (partial) and then tell them to look in the template below (Partial list, see county box below for full list)????? Please do let me know. As Greenbrier, Kanawha, Raleigh Wood and Fayette would be AT BEST problematic.........OR, should we just remove the freaking list from the County page??

Hi-I had to revert changes to the Lima Center, Wisconsin article. An editor kept changing it to the village (town) of Lima Center that does not exist.

Hey- I have attemp[ted to contact an editor in good faith concerning Beckley, West Virginia and Bradshaw. Specifically, Beckley has a cat of Populated places established in 1838. In 1838, Beckley, was a piece of paper. It was not until some 10+ years later that the place had streets (mud paths) much less permanent settlers in the city proper. Should we have this category there?
Bradshw was a total copy of an article, which I removed the copied material after citing the url where they basically, copied the whole freaking page with zero refs..."Jewel" of WV, majestic mountains, friendly people etc etc, uh...NO. At least not in Wiki terms. My contention is WTF is that article, a start?? Should it even be a start. Hell I added the zip code, HOW could you have a start there? ANY look see or comment you could provide would of course be welcomed Coal town guy ( talk) 13:52, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

I found a public document from 1919, its an industry mag which was declared public doman, it has GREAT data and pics for Stotesbury.

I have some pics (good ones, mine, public etc etc) that will explain the political side of St Johns at Stotesbury. LOOOONG ago, in 2002, coal field history folks like myself were the red headed bastard step kids that everyone did not like, ESPECIALLY in small towns that are, to be kind, aesthetically challenged.....St Johns was the black church, all wood multiple stories, look on Flickr, look for a user named whitbywv, you will see. I have a pic of the foundation stone. They let the church go to collapse, preserving it would have been an attraction, because, the church was ...stunning. The white church, also nice, BUT NOT stunning still has services. It is perfectly maintained. It has no graveyard. The church at St Johns, had a cemetery, a black cemetery, rather historic, and NOT well maintained. Many of us, would watch the place. We babysat it and shared notes on Skype, or Yahoo. The collapse was not a surprise. The only thing I will say, in my own encyclopedic fashion is that I took photos inside before the collapse, I did video, and, its, very odd, some things, you just cant explain, that was an odd place Coal town guy ( talk) 15:46, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey- The cool thing about trying to get the FL status out of WV counties is that I am able to peruse my library at home with gusto.......SO, I actually found the historical reference that in 1838, Beckley WV was a piece of paper and folks got their jollies laughing their collective posteriors off at Alfred Beckley, the founder..... Beckley, West Virginia. Ironically, I so saw my Beckley Centennial medal and posted it to the Beckley page as well.

Hey- Take a look here. Remember when I said that in May something really cool would happen? Funny thing about coal scrip, WV has the largest diversity of its issuers (LOTS OF COAL TOWNS).

I would love to expand the article link I provided and eventually, make it GA. HOWEVER, I would need a WV history person who might find this interesting.

Hi-I just found out that part of the town of Bloomfield, Walworth County, Wisconsin was incorporated as a village in early 2012. Some of the recent information mention that sections of the town of Bloomfield, Walworth County, Wisconsin could be annex to other incorporated areas like Genoa City, Wisconsin. To add to the confusion the village and town are located at the Bloomfield Town Hall. There is a possibilty the town of Bloomfield in Walworth could be dissolved. Also the CDP of Pell Lake, Wisconsin was incorporated into the new village and the Pell Lake Sanitary District was dissolved as a result. Any assistance and help in sorting this would appreciated.

Hello TheCatalyst31! I have been a daily user of Wikipedia for almost a decade now. I haven't started many pages (actually, I can't even remember if I've actually created one before tonight!), but I have tried my best to keep it "clean & correct" around various articles. I've never marked any pages for deletion or questioned the authors for their sources.. as everything I've ever "needed" from Wikipedia I could verify from an outside sources (kudos! for we have an amazing resource here...). Tonight I started the article Fin Leavell who is one of my -and many others - favorite musicians of all time. He has released countless album internationally and is known by quite a large audience. 30 minutes after I saved the page, I got flagged for notability and sources. While I can see how the article could be confusing to someone who didn't have a lot of knowledge on the music scene, I would just like some help trying to fix the article. I can't tell if the person who flagged me is a new user or not? And this is the first time I'm using a talk page - I feel way more comfortable asking you a question since I see a whole bunch of questions below me. Thank you and I appreciate any help that could be given. I also wanted to note that the article isn't 100% completed. I did plan on filling in some juicy details about performances on the Cartoon Network, at the Playboy Mansion, music contributed to the Playboy video game, music contributed to movie and television soundtracks, touring mates, producers connected to him, and additional notability information. I just couldn't do it tonight. Again, I hope you can help. Thank you :) Ilikesealife ( talk) aka Melody Letecia

Thanks for creating and populating this category! I created several pages to go into it but completely forgot to create it until well after you'd done it. Nyttend ( talk) 02:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Hey there. I did indeed miss my daily Charleston Mail reading and here is the local article I should have seen regarding Tornado WV. Just as a heads up, my trick knee, and daily migraines tell me to look for Sophia, West Virginia AND Mabscott, West Virginia to have a biblical level dispute, AGAIN, over who acquires more of each others land and water rights. Historically, they have gone toe to toe and Mabscott, is NOT the winner....Just a heads up Coal town guy ( talk) 16:15, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi- Vernal, Mississippi-thanks RFD ( talk) 21:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
OK, A few questions sio I do not upset the apple cart. Coal City Road, turns into WV 16 just outside of Amigo, West Virginia. ALSO, Part of 16, is known as Robert C Byrd Drive as you go into Sophia, West Virginia. HOW would I properly indiocate this within the article as I have to date NOT edited a road article yet? I have of course noted this on the WV 16 talk page as well. Coal town guy ( talk) 15:50, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Had a small but informative chat with the folks from WVDOH. Essentially, US Route 121 (Coalfields Expressway) has not changed as far as driveable portions since 2010. AND it looks like it will be dead for most of 2013. Thought you would like to know. I updated the page here with a link to reflect this, refs of course were included. AND IMO, and I stresss, IMO, that page should be watched. 121 will become very political Coal town guy ( talk) 12:39, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi-Many thanks for starting the Spring Prairie, Wisconsin article. Okay on the the new Village of Harrison GNIS came through with this:GNIS-2746307. I had thought of starting the article but you have more experience with such articles that you may want to start it yourself. The unincorporated community of Harrison in Calumet County is apparently the same. How are you doing? I had been working on articles about United States state legislators who died recently. Hopeful, I can get back to Nyttend's zipcode directory. Many thanks as always- RFD ( talk) 09:22, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, but I cannot remember what RHMT stands for or what led me to create the redirect, perhaps it's best deleted. Regards Nv8200p talk 12:30, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
![]() | On 7 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mars Cheese Castle, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Mars Cheese Castle, a Wisconsin "cheese landmark", was visited by U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden while he campaigned for the 2012 presidential election? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mars Cheese Castle. 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. |

Fairview Alpha LA, can we lock the page? We have an IP user or 2 who change the thing tio a city, which its not, repeatedly. AND they are not polite about it, really. It has been locked before, but its now a rouge editor and its not fun anymore, honest.. Coal town guy ( talk) 22:21, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Hey- We have an IP user registered to a school and a user name performing the exact vandalism on Banco WV.........I do not know if locking the article would help as this one is going everywhere.

Hey- A user named Gilliam has done some redirecting that is starting to be rather troubling. We has a redirect on McDowell KY which said it was a CDP. Its not. We had a redirect which deletyed Kettle Island Coal Camp KY, to Kettle Island KY, they are seperate. We also have at last count a few hundred redirects for several communities in WV which seem OK, but some, NOT so much Coal town guy ( talk) 13:27, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for processing a number of new articles i have created under the Articles For Creation system. I don't know how to get a report of all my currently outstanding ones there.

Thanks for creating (and fixing my mistake at) South Portsmouth, Kentucky, along with lots of other tiny Kentucky communities. I was there six months ago, and then was here in Fulton County in the opposite corner of the state three weeks ago; it's ridiculously hard to believe that they're in the same state. Nyttend ( talk) 19:24, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey there- I did indeed find the KY data online. Question though. I have a copy of Delormes WV Atlas and Gazetteer. I know of a few places I could ref usingh this BUT here is my question: With the KY data, there is a number associated and I could get a link and go from there. BUT, with the WV data, a hard copy, I have no number as a place identifier. I could use a page? and that could be an inline ref? I was also going to ask Catalyst as he has done a PILE of WV locations as well. ANY feedback you have would of course be welcome. I have asked Nyytend this as well, BUT I want to be clear and have a sort of consensus. I have ALOT of WV places which I can add....BUT I would have to rely on the Delorme Atlas AND of course a link to the WV Culture and History Place Names Page on the web. In my edits, I have seen WV pages with sort of ref, WHAT do you think?? Coal town guy ( talk) 20:47, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey there- I actually called Lou Yost and e mailed him at GNIS and to date no reply...If I may ask, WHO are you e mailing/communicating with at GNIS because I still have ALOT of WV locations I would love to add. Many thanks Coal town guy ( talk) 23:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi-I came across the Jacksonboro, South Carolina article. It was labelled a county seat but I don't know if it is accurate. Many thanks- RFD ( talk) 10:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
It is now called Hansford, at least, the Hansford Post Office, was also known as the Paint Creek Post Office AND GUESS WHAT, thats because it was there. AND see here AND page 114 of A gazetteer of West Virginia, Volume 8, Issue 233. VERY real here I believe... Coal town guy ( talk) 23:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
THEN, I have a larger challenge,and I will need your help, In Raleigh, there was a placee named Bowyer, it became Whitby, West Virginia. GNIS lists a Creek and a school for Bowyer,BUT I have this and this and this AND this. HOW do I make this a wiki page??????? Coal town guy ( talk) 01:05, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi -- I'm posting a category you created to CFD for listification. Awards are typically handled better as lists; see WP:OCAT#Award.

Hey- Morgan Morgan was claimed to be the first settler in WV. Much like kids being taught Christopher Columbus discovered America. BUT, its not sio, and that has been ref'd. HOWEVER, we have folks who are using a genealogy page about Morgan and from what I can tell, Morgan Morgan sired the entire eastern seaboard, built roads by sheer will and must have been a citizen of the planet Krypton as he was an Inn Keeper and Pastor etc etc etc . Its ALMOST an edit war and BONUS....the editors are IP's!!!! Can we at least lock the thing? Or in some way AGAIN state, the refs they have are not correct.

Hey there- I will be updating a number of county articles, and in that process, I have found a question. Is there a reliable standard for what makes a resident? In short, a movie star drove through a town. Their car broke down or they did a film there. Does that make them a resident?? Otherwise, the resident claims would sky rocket and be unrealistic.

GOOD NEWS, at least for, those of us who thrive on coal towns, The GNIS folk have indeed read and AGREED with my request to have the town of Eight WV in McDowell County listed within GNIS as a populated place, more than likely, historical! The Post Office has an entry, they did NOT however know if it was an actual town......UNTIL NOW.......The listing should appear within a week. Coal town guy ( talk) 02:07, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey- Something of interest for some of us. I just scored a copy of "The American counties : origins of county names, dates of creation, and population data, 1950-2000" for rather cheap.
I was thinking of updating a "few" county hostories. OF NOTE, the book actually does list original county names, AND their renaming dates when it applies......Rather cool ref to have. However, I bought it used, NO WAY I would buy a new copy. SO, heads up IF there should be a few US counties getting some history added, OR if anyone wants a look up, you will know why Coal town guy ( talk) 13:19, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi- Dwyer Junction, Wyoming, Dwyer, Wyoming. There is also Dwyer, Ohio GNIS=1059124 in Montgomery County, Ohio but I think Dwyer, Ohio may be in Dayton, Ohio or in Kettering, Ohio. That would take care of the communities named Dwyer in the US-thank you as always- RFD ( talk) 11:59, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Wonder if u noticed that all three of NV, NE, and NM are likely to roll over "articled" thresholds this week (50%, 20%, and 20%). Maybe will happen this week anyhow, but definitely will if my 17 or so current submissions (updating value: 0 articles in Category:Submissions by Doncram ready for review) happen to be accepted already, by you or others. :) Thanks for your help everywhere, including in Saline Cty, AR. cheers, -- do ncr am 14:03, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm noticing your multiple "notifications" hits on George P. Washburn architect (architect of KS courthouses) article...makes it easier to do a bit better of an article, if the architect article has been created, huh? :) That was one where there was edit warring against it, from the moment I started the article. Glad it's serving an intended purpose of serving multiple separate NRHP articles, now, anyhow. -- do ncr am 05:02, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Right you are; I've undeleted it and included in the deletion log a link to your message. Basically, I thought that it was a case of someone (1) figuring that the convent complex should get the link because it's named Maryknoll and it's in New York [basically the same idea as how Long Island, New York redirects to Long Island], and (2) not knowing or not caring that there was a real community of the same name somewhere else in the state.

Thanks for running the script earlier today. I was in a wedding over the weekend, so I was unable to run it. I was actually just getting on now to run the script for the day, but I saw you had already done so. If I may ask, did everything work fine? How long did it take to run? I'm pretty sure you're the only other person besides me to have run it... do you feel like anything needs to be changed?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wisconsin Concrete Park, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ben Hur ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
