Hi again, Oona. You hit my watchlist with these 10 edits at Cerisy-la-Forêt. With the exception of the section on the origin of the name which you sourced (thanks for that), the rest of the added material is unsourced, and subject to removal. Please source the rest of the added content with citations to reliable sources which support it. In addition, you changed some content that sits in front of previously existing citations, that make it look like your content is sourced by those citations, when in fact, it isn't; those citations don't support your added/changed content and you will need additional citations buddied up right next to the pre-existing ones, in order to support your changes in those cases. Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 04:47, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- I need to state here that the uncredited edits I made were translations from the French-language version of the page. I didn't understand that translated Wikipedia pages need to be credited in the talk section. I think. This kind editor told me I could ping him when I find help pages I don't understand, but I don't remember how to do it and I don't remember how to find my way back to where he told me that.

How did you manage to get the coordinates for the 1956 Niles Canyon Douglas R5D-2 crash? I did some research a few weeks ago and wasn't able to get more accurate than about a mile radius. Best, Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 19:05, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- First, I looked up Naval Airstation Alameda. I assumed the plane would be trying an approach from the southeast and circling clockwise, thus hitting the ridge on the east slope. I looked up what Sunol Ridge and Nile canyon encompass (topo maps). Then I went into Google Earth and got the coordinates 3.5 miles north of Niles on the east slope of Sunol Ridge, per the sources in the Wikipedia article. However, tonight I found an Oakland Tribune article that indicated the crash site in a rudimentary map. Sure enough, judging by a waterway noted in the map, the crash was on the east slope of the ridge. Figuring that the reporters at the Trib would be talking directly to the guys who flew over the crash site, I relied more on the map than the other sources cited in our Wikipedia article. So I again went into Google Earth and reconciled the crude map with the satellite imagery. That indicated a site northeast, not north, of Niles. So I got the coordinates 3.5 miles in that direction that still hit on an eastward slope. So I corrected the coordinates. I'll try to figure out a way to let people see what I'm seeing in the old newspapers...
- Just before responding to you, though, I also learned that the man who owned land where the plane crashed was named Elmer O'Connell. Property ownership is a matter of public record in California, so a trip to the assessor's office and a hunt through their records should turn up where exactly his ranch was located. His farm might be comprised of multiple parcels, but we'd want to be looking for one on the east slope of Sunol Ridge. I wonder if we can hunt that up online.

- That's really nice of you. Lol, I only showed up to fulfill Wikipedia's request for coordinates. I didn't think anyone was paying attention. *blush* Oona Wikiwalker ( talk) 01:58, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Found a pretty precise location for the plane crash. The eyewitness who spoke to the papers was in the 1950 census. I could locate exactly where he lived. I changed the coordinates to correspond exactly with what he said. I know: primary sources. But I can read censuses. Oona Wikiwalker ( talk) 11:18, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

- We're not supposed to use primary resources or post original research. But what do we do if there are few secondary sources and you discover proof that they're mistaken?
Oona Wikiwalker (
talk) 12:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's definitely a complicated situation. Coordinates generally aren't cited (except for rare cases where there's actual controversy about it), so there's not really applicable guidelines like there are for text. It might be worth posting on the article talk page explaining how you got the coordinates in case another editor is curious.
- It's important to remember that even small improvements like adding coordinates will be noticed by other editors - and really do improve the experience for readers! It's easy to forget sometimes, but good edits really are appreciated.
Pi.1415926535 (
talk) 00:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- You are truly kind. As far as text and original sources go, what do we do if we find the secondary sources are mistaken or just overlook something obvious? When i was working on a page for an FBI agent, I found that J. Edgar Hoover's secretary never married and had lived with the same woman in the 1930, 1940 and 1950 censuses at different addresses. They both were clerical staff, but the second woman was referred to as "partner" in the 1940 and 1950 censuses and the secretary as "head." When the second woman died, her address was the 1950 address and 3 months later the secretary moved to Florida. So I created a Personal Life section and listed the second woman as the secretatry's partner. Was that wrong? It's how they identified themselves to the ennumerator.

- eek. I forgot to add that this secretary has her own Wikipedia page.
Oona Wikiwalker (
talk) 10:33, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- I would say that situation is a case of
exceptional claims requiring exceptional sources. Unless there are reliable secondary sources indicating that Gandy and Morrow were in a relationship, I would not add it - census data alone is nowhere near sufficient to verify a relationship, especially with how vague "partner" is. The most you can say is what was specifically reported in the census; if you do so, you'll want to add
access information to the citations since they require registration. As with any information about sexuality that's not an explicit self-identification, I would recommend getting consensus on the article talk page for what to do.
Pi.1415926535 (
talk) 05:50, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. That's why I didn't speculate on what Gandy meant by "partner." I just repeated what was in the census. I also found a society column article about them travelling together to Morrow's home state of Tennessee, (Gandy was from New Jersey) so they did have at least that much of a relationship. They had been sharing their living space for a minimum 20 years and that would indicate a personal, but not necessarily sexual, relationship. We try to pigeonhole relationships, but I've known about six couples who live together in non-sexual relationships. Oona Wikiwalker ( talk) 11:44, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you
often edit without using an
edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in
your preferences. This would be especially helpful when deleting templates, cheers 〜

Thanks for all your work on coordinates! It's great work, and I greatly appreciate it.
I've reinstated the {{ coord missing}} tag on Empire Union School District; this is a good case of an article that should have coordinates: the school district's address is public, it's on their very searchable own public website under "Find Us", they are on Google Maps, Bing Maps, and presumably all the other major online mapping systems, and their headquarters in a building on a public road with "Empire Union School District" in large letters on the front. They also have pages on their website for all their schools, making their addresses public and similarly locatable on major mapping services. They clearly have no desire to keep their location, or those of their schools, secret.
While there are things with legitimate reasons why they should not have location data, such as secret archeological sites, people's private homes (with notable exceptions), locations of clinics or refuges for vulnerable people, etc. etc., this definitely isn't one.
What is the threat you seek to guard against? — The Anome ( talk) 12:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Being linked in any to mass shootings at primary or secondary schools or the office of such districts. While Empire Union School District has made its information available on their website and the information is available in other places as well, I would never want to hear "The mass shooter at XXX was found to have researched XXX using Wikipedia." If Wikipedia carries the location of primary and secondary schools, it can never be sure the above will never be true.
- Would you be willing to consider that all active primary or secondary schools ARE refuges for vulnerable people (minor children)? We protect them and restrict access to them during in such a way that they can be considered refuges during school hours. Oona Wikiwalker ( talk) 03:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Utopes ( talk / cont) 09:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC) Hello. I have noticed that you
often edit without using an
edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in
your preferences. This would be especially helpful when deleting templates, cheers 〜

- I did not realize I did it that much! The minor edits are just that, and I haven't worried about them. But I can definitely see how the major edits would be. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Oona Wikiwalker ( talk) 00:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for all your work on coordinates! It's great work, and I greatly appreciate it.
I've reinstated the {{ coord missing}} tag on Empire Union School District; this is a good case of an article that should have coordinates: the school district's address is public, it's on their very searchable own public website under "Find Us", they are on Google Maps, Bing Maps, and presumably all the other major online mapping systems, and their headquarters in a building on a public road with "Empire Union School District" in large letters on the front. They also have pages on their website for all their schools, making their addresses public and similarly locatable on major mapping services. They clearly have no desire to keep their location, or those of their schools, secret.
While there are things with legitimate reasons why they should not have location data, such as secret archeological sites, people's private homes (with notable exceptions), locations of clinics or refuges for vulnerable people, etc. etc., this definitely isn't one.
What is the threat you seek to guard against? — The Anome ( talk) 12:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Being linked in any to mass shootings at primary or secondary schools or the office of such districts. While Empire Union School District has made its information available on their website and the information is available in other places as well, I would never want to hear "The mass shooter at XXX was found to have researched XXX using Wikipedia." If Wikipedia carries the location of primary and secondary schools, it can never be sure the above will never be true.
- Would you be willing to consider that all active primary or secondary schools ARE refuges for vulnerable people (minor children)? We protect them and restrict access to them during in such a way that they can be considered refuges during school hours. Oona Wikiwalker ( talk) 03:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
