I really like the track maps. However, there are some mistakes on them. I don't know how best to indicate them to you as I presume you don't have the track map book by Peter Dougherty.-- Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 01:27, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello:
I am in the midst of a copy edit you requested of the Trump Tower article. I have found the Destruction of Bonwit Teller Building features section somewhat confusing. As I read it the order of events as you have them is:
First, there are two different destruction dates April 16 and June 5. Was April 16th the day they were removed, and June 5 the day they were destroyed? Was the grille also destroyed on that date? When Stiebel went by taxi to try to buy them, was that when she was told they had been ordered to "destroy it all"? When were the appointments to see the sculptures before or after they were removed?
Rather than repeat the sculptures and grille were scrapped which isn't really the same as destroyed — the sculptures would have been destroyed — the grille would have been scrapped — why not say: Trump later said he had ordered the destruction of the sculptures and grille himself.[54]?
If you could have a look at this and clarify it all that would be helpful. I will continue to copy edit the rest of the article.

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Trump Tower has been completed.
I noticed several occasions like those below from the Security section where multiple citations are used for a single event. You may want to go through the article and identify any other and then select one or two of the most reliable sources and remove the others. An FAC reviewer may require this citing Wikipedia:Citation overkill. Other than this, I think the article is in great shape.
I am still trying to get the image of Trump sawing down the trees out of my head!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Regards,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cross-platform interchange, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page KCR ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi Epicgenius – this article will pass GA requirements without a problem. However, I made some comments regarding references, which should be fixed or addressed before I go ahead and pass it.

Dear Epicgenius--
In December I thought I added this to the Bronx Lit Poetry section.
I see it when I click "contributions" but I do not see it in the article when I am not logged in.
Perhaps I did not do the entry correctly. I am not a frequent contributor.
Could you help get this in?
I stumbled upon Michelle's work and bought it and read it. In my opinion it seems to deserve a mention.
This is what I wrote:
"Bronx Migrations by Michelle M. Tokarczyk (Cherry Castle Publishing: 2016) offers poems about The Bronx that range over five decades, from “The Stoop, Daly Avenue, 1961” to “Beacon, 2010.” The poems cover Tokarczyk’s reluctant exodus from The Bronx in 1962, memories of her Bronx childhood and of her family, and her return to The Bronx in search of her childhood tenement."
Thank you. Xnorbex 1/11/18 Xnorbex ( talk) 14:48, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
partly revert to revision 814970455 dated 2017-12-11 23:38:32 by EricEnfermero: a) Tokarczyk notability & sources; b) Section "In songs" is for songs.. I suppose this should be discussed on the talk page if you really want to include it, since I couldn't really find secondary sources for the book. Or a single sentence may do:
"Bronx Migrations" by Michelle M. Tokarczyk is a collection that spans five decades of Tokarczyk's life in the Bronx, from her exodus in 1962 to her return in search of her childhood tenement. [1]

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{ underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Dear Epicgenius--
Thank you for explaining the removal of the information about Bronx Migrations. I do not understand the part that says "songs is for songs." Did I accidentally put this in the wrong place (which I do not think that I did), or was the proposed entry misunderstood, or did that part of the comment refer to a different issue?
The one sentence you suggested is better than no entry at all. Perhaps you could present that to the editors. I am not an experienced Wiki contributor, and you could probably do that a lot quicker than I could.
Since I carefully read the book, I thought it would be beneficial to Bronxites to mention a few of the places it covers.
I have followed poetry about The Bronx for years. In my opinion, this is an important book from the point of view of Bronx history and culture. It directly deals with social and historical issues that have been a factor in the South Bronx since the 1950s. And the poems are well crafted.
Small press poetry does not get a lot of publicity, so I guess that there will not be much in the way of secondary sources. I am hoping that The Bronx County Historical Society Journal will review the book. It would be a shame to let this book fade away.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate your time.

Dear Epicgenius--
Thank you!
What would be considered a secondary source?
Would that be something like a third party review?
The book is listed in Worldcat. It is in one library.
If I have a better idea of what a secondary source is, perhaps I can encourage the author or publisher to provide one.
Xnorbex 1/12/18 Xnorbex ( talk) 22:16, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Dear Epicgenius--Thank you for the link, and for your patience! I saw only one on-line review of Bx Migrations, and that seems to have been written by the publisher, so that obviously does not count. I will try to find out from the author or publisher if there are any third party reviews. And I will encourage them to get one. I do not know if they will be able to. As a poet myself, I know how difficult it is to get reviewers for a book of poetry.
I do not know the author personally. In December 2017, I stumbled upon her work at this link: http://www.newyorkdreaming.net/a-personal-history-of-the-bronx-river-and-other-poems/ The poem about Alexander's struck home: my family spent a lot of time there. The bio's mention of a future book called "Coming Back" is, I presume, a reference to Bronx Migrations, which, if I remember correctly, includes the poems on the link. I bought the book and was delighted to see that another poet was focused on the South Bronx.
I am hoping that Michelle or her publisher will be able to lead me to a third party review, which I will share with you.

Dear Epicgenilus--
I just received this in an email from Michelle Tokarczyk:
"Here is a link to a review of my book in Working-Class Perspectives--an online scholarly publication. . . . If the link doesn't work, you can google Journal of Working-Class Studies. Jim Daniels wrote the review."
(The link is not accepted by Wiki, so I removed it.It was a long link, and the Wiki message said something about a blacklist--Xnorbex)
I do not have Facebook, but I did Google the reference. This is the heading:
"Journal of Working-Class Studies Volume 1 Issue 1, December 2016 Tokarczyk, Michelle M. (2016) Bronx Migrations, Cherry Castle Publishing, Columbia, Md. Review by Jim Daniels"
I saved the text of the review as a pdf file.
I went to this link and had to scroll down to find Vol 1, Issue 1:
https://workingclassstudiesjournal.com/previous-issues/
I hope this helps.

Dear Epicgenius--
The link I sent you worked for me. If it works for you, would that mean the entry would have a valid secondary source??
(The original link Michelle sent in her email seemed to be to facebook, and if remember correctly, it was several lines long, so I suspect that might be why Wiki did not accept it.)
Thanks for all!

Hi EG. Ealdgyth is going to be scheduling your Trump FA for February 28. User:Johnboddie and I have been working on the blurb, and so far we've got:
That's about as much space as I want to devote to "Drumpf"; it was a one-time joke. I'm concerned that people will argue at ERRORS that we might be playing into Trump's hands if we report only the jokes and none of the substantive criticisms from the segment. It's up to 825 characters so far, and needs to be between 1000 and 1200, hopefully closer to 1100. Thoughts? - Dank ( push to talk) 22:06, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
@
Dank: I was thinking of splitting off the sentence in the blurb that ends in outlining his campaign rhetoric, varying political positions and failed business ventures

During the segment, comedian John Oliver discusses Trump's presidential campaign. epicgenius 18:57, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
just the fact that John Oliver is showing up at FAC, and no other representation of Trump or Republicans, puts us in the dog house. The last thing we want would be for a link to this article showing up under /r/The_Donald with the headline "Boycott Biased Wikipedia!!" or something like that. So I agree that we put disclaimers that Oliver is citing studies and fact-checking sites.
we have to say at least one substantive negative thing, or it may sound like we're acting as his defenders and apologists. This is a little harder because we are trying to maintain NPOV, and facts can be easily twisted into opinions, e.g. the argument between supporters and opponents over whether Trump really lies. Again, the disclaimers should protect Wikipedia from accusations of being biased. We are simply saying that these are Oliver's words.
I'm having second thoughts, I want to sleep on it. What's bothering me is: we haven't had a political figure like this one at TFA before, and we don't know how editors will respond. What if they push, say, a Fox segment on Chuck Schumer through FAC, for "balance"? Maybe this would work better at TFA after Trump is out of office. I do my best thinking when I'm asleep, I'll get back to you in the morning. - Dank ( push to talk) 00:25, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Greetings and felicitations. In your your latest edit to " New York City" you trimmed cruft from three URLs. I also do this and I hold the opinion that this is common sense, but have been unable to find anything in the MoS to support this practice. Can you point me to any such rule or recommendation? — DocWatson42 ( talk) 00:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Remove tracking parameters from URLs. Some of these extended URLs specify a certain action, such as highlighting a search term, which I find unnecessary because we could add page numbers or direct quotes instead. Other extended URLs are used for tracking purposes. There's also WP:PAGELINKS, which holds that you can modify a PDF or a Google Books URL to point to a specific page. I trim these URLs mostly because the "extra" parts don't add anything to the article. epicgenius 01:25, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Right under our noses, someone stuck a fair use image making us look like fools and law breakers when this article was DYK. As you know, fair use images are not allowed in DYK. This is not good. The Wikipedia system of self policing failed. As a sign of good faith, I propose that the image be removed from the article for 10 days to show that we are serious about top quality DYK's. Removing the image will not harm the article. If you have alternate ideas, let me know.

In an era when too many editors believe that Wikipedia is all about fixing trivial grammatical errors or deleting articles, it is the rare editor who tirelessly works to expand the articles that need expansion. As part of your extensive work on New York City-related articles, your recent edits to Canarsie, Brooklyn doubled the size and number of sources, while making a substantial improvement in the core content of the article; this one edit alone, which added more than 22,000 characters to the article, equals what would have been weeks -- if not months -- of contributions by the overwhelming majority of other editors.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Broadway Junction (New York City Subway). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Broadway Junction (New York City Subway)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello:
I am in the midst of a copy edit you requested of the Trump Tower article. I have found the Destruction of Bonwit Teller Building features section somewhat confusing. As I read it the order of events as you have them is:
First, there are two different destruction dates April 16 and June 5. Was April 16th the day they were removed, and June 5 the day they were destroyed? Was the grille also destroyed on that date? When Stiebel went by taxi to try to buy them, was that when she was told they had been ordered to "destroy it all"? When were the appointments to see the sculptures before or after they were removed?
Rather than repeat the sculptures and grille were scrapped which isn't really the same as destroyed — the sculptures would have been destroyed — the grille would have been scrapped — why not say: Trump later said he had ordered the destruction of the sculptures and grille himself.[54]?
If you could have a look at this and clarify it all that would be helpful. I will continue to copy edit the rest of the article.

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Trump Tower has been completed.
I noticed several occasions like those below from the Security section where multiple citations are used for a single event. You may want to go through the article and identify any other and then select one or two of the most reliable sources and remove the others. An FAC reviewer may require this citing Wikipedia:Citation overkill. Other than this, I think the article is in great shape.
I am still trying to get the image of Trump sawing down the trees out of my head!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Dear Epicgenius--
In December I thought I added this to the Bronx Lit Poetry section.
I see it when I click "contributions" but I do not see it in the article when I am not logged in.
Perhaps I did not do the entry correctly. I am not a frequent contributor.
Could you help get this in?
I stumbled upon Michelle's work and bought it and read it. In my opinion it seems to deserve a mention.
This is what I wrote:
"Bronx Migrations by Michelle M. Tokarczyk (Cherry Castle Publishing: 2016) offers poems about The Bronx that range over five decades, from “The Stoop, Daly Avenue, 1961” to “Beacon, 2010.” The poems cover Tokarczyk’s reluctant exodus from The Bronx in 1962, memories of her Bronx childhood and of her family, and her return to The Bronx in search of her childhood tenement."
Thank you. Xnorbex 1/11/18 Xnorbex ( talk) 14:48, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
partly revert to revision 814970455 dated 2017-12-11 23:38:32 by EricEnfermero: a) Tokarczyk notability & sources; b) Section "In songs" is for songs.. I suppose this should be discussed on the talk page if you really want to include it, since I couldn't really find secondary sources for the book. Or a single sentence may do:
"Bronx Migrations" by Michelle M. Tokarczyk is a collection that spans five decades of Tokarczyk's life in the Bronx, from her exodus in 1962 to her return in search of her childhood tenement. [1]

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{ underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Dear Epicgenius--
Thank you for explaining the removal of the information about Bronx Migrations. I do not understand the part that says "songs is for songs." Did I accidentally put this in the wrong place (which I do not think that I did), or was the proposed entry misunderstood, or did that part of the comment refer to a different issue?
The one sentence you suggested is better than no entry at all. Perhaps you could present that to the editors. I am not an experienced Wiki contributor, and you could probably do that a lot quicker than I could.
Since I carefully read the book, I thought it would be beneficial to Bronxites to mention a few of the places it covers.
I have followed poetry about The Bronx for years. In my opinion, this is an important book from the point of view of Bronx history and culture. It directly deals with social and historical issues that have been a factor in the South Bronx since the 1950s. And the poems are well crafted.
Small press poetry does not get a lot of publicity, so I guess that there will not be much in the way of secondary sources. I am hoping that The Bronx County Historical Society Journal will review the book. It would be a shame to let this book fade away.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate your time.

Dear Epicgenius--
Thank you!
What would be considered a secondary source?
Would that be something like a third party review?
The book is listed in Worldcat. It is in one library.
If I have a better idea of what a secondary source is, perhaps I can encourage the author or publisher to provide one.
Xnorbex 1/12/18 Xnorbex ( talk) 22:16, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Dear Epicgenius--Thank you for the link, and for your patience! I saw only one on-line review of Bx Migrations, and that seems to have been written by the publisher, so that obviously does not count. I will try to find out from the author or publisher if there are any third party reviews. And I will encourage them to get one. I do not know if they will be able to. As a poet myself, I know how difficult it is to get reviewers for a book of poetry.
I do not know the author personally. In December 2017, I stumbled upon her work at this link: http://www.newyorkdreaming.net/a-personal-history-of-the-bronx-river-and-other-poems/ The poem about Alexander's struck home: my family spent a lot of time there. The bio's mention of a future book called "Coming Back" is, I presume, a reference to Bronx Migrations, which, if I remember correctly, includes the poems on the link. I bought the book and was delighted to see that another poet was focused on the South Bronx.
I am hoping that Michelle or her publisher will be able to lead me to a third party review, which I will share with you.

Dear Epicgenilus--
I just received this in an email from Michelle Tokarczyk:
"Here is a link to a review of my book in Working-Class Perspectives--an online scholarly publication. . . . If the link doesn't work, you can google Journal of Working-Class Studies. Jim Daniels wrote the review."
(The link is not accepted by Wiki, so I removed it.It was a long link, and the Wiki message said something about a blacklist--Xnorbex)
I do not have Facebook, but I did Google the reference. This is the heading:
"Journal of Working-Class Studies Volume 1 Issue 1, December 2016 Tokarczyk, Michelle M. (2016) Bronx Migrations, Cherry Castle Publishing, Columbia, Md. Review by Jim Daniels"
I saved the text of the review as a pdf file.
I went to this link and had to scroll down to find Vol 1, Issue 1:
https://workingclassstudiesjournal.com/previous-issues/
I hope this helps.

The link I sent you worked for me. If it works for you, would that mean the entry would have a valid secondary source??

Hi EG. Ealdgyth is going to be scheduling your Trump FA for February 28. User:Johnboddie and I have been working on the blurb, and so far we've got:
That's about as much space as I want to devote to "Drumpf"; it was a one-time joke. I'm concerned that people will argue at ERRORS that we might be playing into Trump's hands if we report only the jokes and none of the substantive criticisms from the segment. It's up to 825 characters so far, and needs to be between 1000 and 1200, hopefully closer to 1100. Thoughts? - Dank ( push to talk) 22:06, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
@
Dank: I was thinking of splitting off the sentence in the blurb that ends in outlining his campaign rhetoric, varying political positions and failed business ventures

During the segment, comedian John Oliver discusses Trump's presidential campaign. epicgenius 18:57, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
just the fact that John Oliver is showing up at FAC, and no other representation of Trump or Republicans, puts us in the dog house. The last thing we want would be for a link to this article showing up under /r/The_Donald with the headline "Boycott Biased Wikipedia!!" or something like that. So I agree that we put disclaimers that Oliver is citing studies and fact-checking sites.
we have to say at least one substantive negative thing, or it may sound like we're acting as his defenders and apologists. This is a little harder because we are trying to maintain NPOV, and facts can be easily twisted into opinions, e.g. the argument between supporters and opponents over whether Trump really lies. Again, the disclaimers should protect Wikipedia from accusations of being biased. We are simply saying that these are Oliver's words.
I'm having second thoughts, I want to sleep on it. What's bothering me is: we haven't had a political figure like this one at TFA before, and we don't know how editors will respond. What if they push, say, a Fox segment on Chuck Schumer through FAC, for "balance"? Maybe this would work better at TFA after Trump is out of office. I do my best thinking when I'm asleep, I'll get back to you in the morning. - Dank ( push to talk) 00:25, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Greetings and felicitations. In your your latest edit to " New York City" you trimmed cruft from three URLs.

Can you point me to any such rule or recommendation? — DocWatson42 ( talk) 00:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Remove tracking parameters from URLs. Some of these extended URLs specify a certain action, such as highlighting a search term, which I find unnecessary because we could add page numbers or direct quotes instead. Other extended URLs are used for tracking purposes. There's also WP:PAGELINKS, which holds that you can modify a PDF or a Google Books URL to point to a specific page. I trim these URLs mostly because the "extra" parts don't add anything to the article. epicgenius 01:25, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Right under our noses, someone stuck a fair use image making us look like fools and law breakers when this article was DYK. As you know, fair use images are not allowed in DYK. This is not good. The Wikipedia system of self policing failed. As a sign of good faith, I propose that the image be removed from the article for 10 days to show that we are serious about top quality DYK's. Removing the image will not harm the article. If you have alternate ideas, let me know.

In an era when too many editors believe that Wikipedia is all about fixing trivial grammatical errors or deleting articles, it is the rare editor who tirelessly works to expand the articles that need expansion. As part of your extensive work on New York City-related articles, your recent edits to Canarsie, Brooklyn doubled the size and number of sources, while making a substantial improvement in the core content of the article; this one edit alone, which added more than 22,000 characters to the article, equals what would have been weeks -- if not months -- of contributions by the overwhelming majority of other editors.
