Hi, just wanted to say nice work on Benedict Arnold (governor)! Also, just a heads-up, I moved all of the articles on your user page with "(Governor)" to "(governor)" as per WP:CAPS, hope you don't mind. – CWenger ( ^ • @) 20:35, 8 June 2011 (UTC) reply

Well, to be honest I just skimmed it. :-) But it looks like good, well-sourced content. To make all the G's lowercase I just moved them. It should be one of the tabs at the top-right corner of the page. You might have to hover over the small down arrow to see it. As long as the original page isn't move protected or the new page doesn't have a history besides the creation of a redirect, you should be able to perform the move. – CWenger ( ^ • @) 20:49, 8 June 2011 (UTC) reply

	Congratulations!
	Thanks for all the work you did in making Benedict Arnold (governor) a certified "Good Article"! Your work is much appreciated. In the spirit of celebration, you may wish to review one of the Good Article nominees that someone else nominated, as there is currently a backlog, and any help is appreciated. All the best, – Quadell ( talk)

Taking your own photos is definitely encouraged. I included some older photos when I didn't have a licensed modern one. If you could contribute your own that would really add a lot to the article. Thanks. Swampyank ( talk) 22:35, 5 August 2011 (UTC) reply

Sorry to be a bore, but including context (such as the frame) in a photograph means that it is copyrightable. As such, this file is free only if the image is cropped so that only the painting is visible (you could make a request at the graphic lab or if the photograph is PD (I don't know whether that particular site releases its content- you'll have to double check). J Milburn ( talk) 11:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC) reply

OK, thanks for the heads up. I will re-crop the photo, and include it without the frame. Sarnold17 ( talk) 13:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC) reply

The article James Draper (settler) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Aaron Booth ( talk) 06:55, 26 February 2012 (UTC) reply

• I don't think that Booth is using a bot; especially since he'd racked up less than 500 edits to date before this past month, a review of his user contributions list indicates that he's another newbie who's discovered NPP and has gone tag-happy. Quite aside from the referenced article of mine he tagged with a BLPPROD, I found five other glaring screwups with his edits of yesterday alone - the Draper article among them - quite aside from the two AfDs he filed which were hastily withdrawn. He's about one day away at this rate from me seeking admin intervention to sit on him some. Ravenswing 18:27, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for correcting the name of first Chief Justice. I was having a hard time figuring out much information about him online a while back. I guess the misnaming would explain why, but there still doesn't seem to be a whole lot written about him. I was interested in learning a bit more about origins of the legal system in Rhode Island and whether it followed common law precedent, etc...Thanks again.

Hello,

I noticed you did an excellent job in your peer review of Humphrey Marshall (politician) and was wondering if you would be interested in looking at Thomas S. Hinde. I have tried to greatly improve the article recently and it just received a comprehensive copy-edit. An addition to this request, I found two other wiki contributors from the Henry Clay and George Madison talk pages and asked them to look at the article. I have only been contributing for less than a year but I am eager to learn and would appreciate anytime you could spare to help improve this article. The goal is to reach GA or FA status.

Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon.

I wanted to let you know I was so impressed with this I picked it as a lead DYK. It is now in prep 1. I wish it had a photo that showed up better though. This is one of the best brand new articles I've seen in a long time. It should be easy to get this to GA if you want. It does have several ref link errors (which display if you have a script in your monobook). I can help fix that if you want. Let me know. PumpkinSky talk 12:09, 6 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Is the Portsmouth in this and Anne's article the one in New Hampshire or elsewhere? Ref page numbers are not consistent, some formats are 311-32 and some 311-332. PumpkinSky talk 12:18, 6 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Ah, I just wrote you on your talk page; now I see what you are talking about. Every mention of Portsmouth in this article and the Anne Hutchinson article is in reference to Portsmouth, Rhode Island. If I haven't linked that anywhere then it does need to be linked once or twice to let the reader know that that is the Portsmouth in question. As to the page number references, which is best, 311-32, or 311-332? I like the looks of the latter, but if there's a policy, I'm happy to comply. Please, feel free to fix any of the ref link errors, because I haven't a clue as to what a monobook script is. Sarnold17 ( talk) 12:33, 6 July 2012 (UTC) reply

What about Portsmouth question? I'll fix the page numbers too, in a few minutes I'll start. Pls answer Pmouth question. PumpkinSky talk 12:34, 6 July 2012 (UTC) reply

• Things you need to do to get GA/FA--
  • REF 78 is a dead link, needs replacing
  • REF 80 needs page numbers
  • What has this got to do with Saints? She's not Catholic, though she's called "saintly". (saint portal)
  • Books by Ellis and Rothbard aren't used as refs, you may want to reference them.
  • REFS 90, 96, 97 need page numbers
    • That's about it. Once you fix this stuff I'd nom it for GA. PumpkinSky talk 16:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Yea, your concerns are kind of the same ones I used for keeping Nevada out. While there is some good, I'm not sure that I see that outweighing the bad. For a while I was working on cleaning up the links to dab pages within that project. Then I found out that it was helpless since no matter how much I was doing, I was always falling further behind. I think that is because they are focused on adding more rather then improving articles. As a comparison, I think that RI has none and Nevada has about one. For me, there is an issue with the small states having less interest in their projects. While that is a problem I'd like to see fixing, the current solutions are not the right way in my mind. But then, my positions are not always popular. Vegaswikian ( talk) 18:12, 16 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, and thanks for your input. Yes, it seems the small states have little representation, and thus not much project activity, but I also noticed that Texas fell under the WPUS umbrella. New York kept its independence. Why not Texas? Anyway, I'm suffering from a loss of identity right now, and feel like I've been swallowed by a behemoth. Did I read the chart correctly that there are zero disambiguation problems with articles that identify with Rhode Island? Now that should be a feather in our cap. Good to hear from you. Sarnold17 ( talk) 18:33, 16 July 2012 (UTC) reply

I see your concerns about the RI/US wikiprojects. It does seem strange to make it part of the US Project. I'm not really too familiar with the benefits of either, but if you think making RI part of the US project is a bad idea, I can oppose it too. Swampyank ( talk) 03:12, 17 July 2012 (UTC) reply

I noticed the photo of the Gideon Cornell House. Having a photo really improves the appearance of an article in my opinion. That's really useful to add the cemetery photos to articles as well. A 1670 Rhode Island house would be an interesting addition to the list because very few buildings in Rhode Island survived King Philip's War as you probably know. Maybe the owners will have dendrochronology done on the home to get a precise date. That's a shame about the 1685 colonial house...it would also have been one of the oldest houses in the state. Looking forward to seeing your next additions! Swampyank ( talk) 02:07, 25 July 2012 (UTC) reply

I don't see the Gideon Cornell House listed individually on the NRHP, but if there is a plaque it may be a contributing property within one of the NRHP historic districts. It may be significant enough on its own to create an article though. Swampyank ( talk) 02:10, 25 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, I just wanted to stop by and tell you when I do a PR on a page like this I tend to be very picky and it's okay to take or leave my comments. I've had this page on my watchlist for well over two years, hoping to expand it but never having the energy for the research, and I've been thrilled to watch the way it's come along. It's extremely well-written and well-researched. All I'm doing is knocking in a few holes, making a few suggestions, and basically doing a pre-FAC review. In my view it's not easy material - probably the reason I never got to it myself - and I'm trying to think of potential comments that might come up at FAC. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. I'll reply to your replies there when I get back to it tomorrow. Truthkeeper ( talk) 00:38, 19 September 2012 (UTC) reply

And hi again. I'm not sure what the purpose of the above note is, but I have a feeling that my bold-faced replies to you may have been found to be offensive. The peer review is an ongoing dialogue, and I'm just trying to show that the mail has been answered (I've use the green checkmarks in other peer reviews). My sincere apologies for any perceived gruffness on my part by doing the bolding. I am most definitely not looking for attention or an answer; I simply am trying to say that the comment has been addressed. You can see that I've made some non-boldfaced comments, meaning that the issue has not yet been resolved, but the bold-faced comments mean I think I've taken care of the issue. In one case, however, I still want your feedback, but the boldface doesn't mean I want it immediately; it just means that I think the case is closed. Maybe I can come up with a more subtle or tactful way to close each issue?? Your thoughts are solicited.

I am thrilled; no, I am THRILLED to have your participation and invaluable help in this process, and I am sincerely grateful. Please forgive my misguided way of trying to answer the mail. You said you would be slow at reviewing the article, but I am going to be much slower in addressing your comments, because some of the fixes are not cosmetic, and will take some research that I'm only disposed of doing a little at a time (maybe one major issue per evening). So, please keep the comments coming, and I'll try to find another way to close each issue. Thanks for all you've done! Sarnold17 ( talk) 01:05, 19 September 2012 (UTC) reply

No, everything's fine, was just stopping by. Quite frankly I haven't even had the opportunity to look at your replies there. I just didn't want you to be put off because I'm aware I'm being picky. I know the material as it happens, but clearly not any way to the degree that you do. BTW - there's no time limit on the PR. It will automatically archive 2 weeks after the last comment, but you have as long as you want to work through the issues. There's no deadline. Truthkeeper ( talk) 01:27, 19 September 2012 (UTC) reply

I can see that it's a labor or love. I'm just stopping by to let you know that I'm not leaving you in the lurch (I had been hesitant to pick this up because I knew I'd working with time constraints). I'll probably be able to finish it on Sunday or Monday night. I want to have a look too to be certain there's not too much overlap between the Hutchinson page and the Controversy page. Also a small favor - it's best not to bold and cap your answers. I'll strike the comments you've addressed when I finish up. Truthkeeper ( talk) 23:14, 21 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Hello again, I'm just taking some stabs at some of the review items this evening (Friday). I will have to rewrite the section on the Antinomian Controversy, and perhaps the two trials as well. As to the former, I sense you would like it more chronological. My original intent was to present its "official" beginning, which was when Winthrop announced it in his journal in late October 1636, and then go back to its earliest signs and development, and then from there to Anne's trials. I can instead give an introductory sentence and then take things chronologically from the earliest signs, then Winthrop's pronouncement, and then subsequent events. I'm trying not to rehash the controversy article, but there are some key events I should include in passing, which I have not done, such as Wheelwright's fast-day sermon, the election of May 1637, and maybe a bit more about Vane, including his departure. Since none of these directly involved Hutchinson, they will be mentioned in passing only. I will no longer emphasize my responses. Right now I see my edits as requiring several days.

I wouldn't mind letting you add the image tags, and then see what you do, and where you do it to learn without a lot of bumbling around on my part. As for the statue, Dallin has only been dead for 68 years, so we can't use the 3-D artwork by someone dead for 70 years license. However, photos of Dallin's statues are all over wikipedia, and the few I've looked at don't seem to have any special licensing. Not sure what to do. I'd like to ignore it. I really like having you around, because I'm sure a lot of things will come up in the FAR necessitating some expertise that you will be able to provide. Sarnold17 ( talk) 23:30, 15 October 2012 (UTC) reply

I'll add the image tags; they have to go on the files on Commons because it looks as though all the images are hosted there. I won't get it tonight, but you can leave Nikkimaria a note if you'd like. I'm not terribly knowledgable about image copyright, but for an article to pass FAC all the images have to be up to snuff in regards to copyright law - I've had to delete images from some pages during image reviews. It's possible you may not be able to keep it, but I don't know enough. One person to ask would be Ruhrfisch - don't know how much he's around these days but he's very helpful. Truthkeeper ( talk) 23:48, 15 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Okay, well this is something I'm not very good at. I've added a tag to File:JohnWinthropColorPortrait.jpg and to File:JohnCotton.jpg. File:Calvin.png is a problem because I can't tell from the source whether it's been published in the US. File:Nicaea_icon.jpg looks to be a mistake - I can't find it in the article. The statue I can't help you with; I really don't understand how that works. The person who took the photo released it to the public domain, but the question is how old the statue it - I think. Nikkimaria is good with images and will give you some help if you drop her a note on her talk page - she plows through quite a few FACs and doesn't always respond there. Also for the double periods - I found one in the sources after inc.[.]. I'll fix it so you know what to look for. Again, if you get really lost with the images try asking Ruhrfisch - he understands these better than I do and has been very helpful to me. I'm fairly busy again for a few days but will try to stop by and review the FAC over the weekend. Truthkeeper ( talk) 21:03, 16 October 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the image tags. The Nicaea image was in the "Christian History" template, and I just removed the template, so that will resolve that issue. I'd like to keep the Calvinism template, but if the image issue isn't resolved, I'll remove it as well. I've contacted Ruhrfisch to see if he can help with the statue image issue. Thanks for fixing the "double period" issue. I still don't know why it was an issue; i.e. why can't you have an abbreviation with a period in a reference? Thanks, as always, for your continued involvement with this article. Sarnold17 ( talk) 00:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC) reply

This is a note to let the main editors of Anne Hutchinson know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 22, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 22, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Anne Hutchinson (1591–1643) was a Puritan woman, spiritual adviser, and participant in the Antinomian Controversy that shook the fledgling Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1636 to 1638. Born in England, she was the daughter of Francis Marbury, an Anglican minister and school teacher. As an adult, she became attracted to the preaching of the dynamic minister John Cotton, and followed him to New England after he was forced to emigrate in 1633. There she shared her religious understandings with women she helped as a midwife, and held meetings at her home to review recent sermons and criticise ministers who did not adhere to Cotton's "covenant of grace" theology. Her religious convictions and outspoken demeanour riled many magistrates and Puritan clergy in the Boston area, and her popularity and charisma helped create a theological schism that threatened to destroy the Puritans' religious experiment. She was tried, convicted and banished from the colony in 1637. After moving to what is now The Bronx, then controlled by the Dutch, she was killed in an attack by native Siwanoy in 1643. She has been called the most famous, or infamous, English woman in colonial American history. ( Full article...)

You've done a great job of clarifying some things and linking unfamiliar terms, and on further reflection I think that you are right to keep the extra information in the Later career section (the background info in "Dealing with sectaries" and the last paragraph of "Legacy") - this material helps the reader to form an idea of Cotton's place in history, which is important.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Royal Charter of 1663 of Rhode Island a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a " cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed between 12-14 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the initial messages I sent out went to only WikiProject members and users that had over 15 reviews). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. Now, one of the most important criteria is that you have at least 15 independent reviews. If you are reading this, you are likely 3 (or less) reviews short, so if you review another couple nominations, you can become a recruiter! If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". NOTE: If you are interested in becoming a recruiter but do not meet the 15 review requirement, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters and put your status as "Not Available" until you have reviewed enough nominations. Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 21:01, 10 June 2013 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mary Dyer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Richard Scott. 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.

This is in my view a category that is a nation+person. The American colonies were a distinct national phenomenon. We do not categorize people from a specific nation by gender directly, only by gender + occupation. If you think this should be an exemption, you should bring up a discussion to make it so at CFD. Currently I am following the general practices of other national political categories. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 15:50, 2 January 2015 (UTC) reply

The Writer's Barnstar Thank you for your fantastic work on the people and history of Rhode Island. I've been reading through the List of early settlers of Rhode Island.... editing as I go, of course, because I can't help myself. I noticed this award for excellent writing and contributions, and wanted to offer it to you. Thanks again! — Dilidor ( talk) 10:57, 4 April 2017 (UTC) reply

The file File:Samuel Ward.cropped.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Superseded by c:File:Hon. Samuel Ward, May 27, 1725-March 26, 1776, Governor of Rhode Island and member of the Continental Congress (NYPL b12349149-421946) (cropped).jpg

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Minorax^{«¦ talk¦»} 11:12, 1 April 2022 (UTC) reply
