Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Guillaume de Littera, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rousset. 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.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Danièle Watts is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danièle Watts until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — innotata 20:45, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:
Why not just unblock me if I don't comment on Daniele Watts and her proposed deletion? I could simply edit/create other pages totally unrelated to that, and completely ignore those who have harassed me. I have a DYK right now that I'd like to improve at Aqueduc de Roquefavour and a few other articles which are totally unrelated to Watts.
Decline reason:
I agree with DangerousPanda about your comment "those who have harassed me". In this context, I'm declining your request to be unblocked. PhilKnight ( talk) 12:53, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The article Augusto Dos Santos has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has 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 seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

I looked into the Venezuelan source: "Su niñez transcurrió en el barrio El Carmen, en El Vigía, recuerda con nostalgia a sus amigos, con quienes jugó pelotica de goma, chapita y su gran pasión: el fútbol, “aún conservo grandes amigos que todavía viven allí”, dice Tareck."
I think it means his chidhood was in El Vigia. It doesn't mean he was born there. I think you can change it. However, at the bottom...
"Perfil: Trayectoria:
Nació el 12 de noviembre de 1974 /Ministro de Relaciones Interiores y Justicia (desde 2008)
El Vigía, estado Mérida / Viceministro de Seguridad Ciudadana (2007 / 2008)"
I don't have the original scan but it's unclear what is meant by "El Vigía". Is it a hometown or are they saying it's a birthplace?

I was warning you about your potentially disruptive editing. Since it concerns your editing, it belongs here. Warning editors about disruption isn't harassment - in fact, it's an opportunity for you to avoid continuing down that route. Guettarda ( talk) 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Bill Laurie. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Hirolovesswords ( talk) 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at 2015 University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon racism incident.

There are at least three obvious reverts on that page; bear in mind that complex reverts, that return a page or a portion of a page to a prior version are still reverts even if you didn't do it via a single edit. This is your second edit-warring warning in two days. Take it as a sign that you need to take a less aggressive approach to editing. Guettarda ( talk) 20:19, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at 2015 University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon racism incident shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Best, HiDrNick! 21:15, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

No, I had no knowledge of who Khalifa Jassim Al Kuwari was until I read your article on Ken Costa. A Google search of the keywords 'Songbird Estate' and 'Khalifa Al Kuwari' reveals his profile on Bloomberg which claims he served as the non executive director of Songbird Estate from 2010 and 2014. Additionally, he apparently has held several distinguished positions in Qatar Investment Authority and Qatar Exchange. He has an impressive résumé in terms of directorships of investment companies, yet, in my brief search, I could not find any reports by major news organizations which mention him bar a Reuters article.

They may come from 1913, there are several polo pictures where I can identify the people from the same year. They were taken by a New York City photographer, so they are probably at the Meadow Brook Polo Club or Georgian Court in New Jersey where Jay Gould had a polo field. They may be British since the British polo team were all soldiers.

There is discussion at the dispute resolution noticeboard about your addition of the phrase "Judea and Samaria" to the article on Yishai Schlissel. As has been explained to you, there is an ArbCom approved guideline that says that in modern times, the phrase should be simply West Bank.

You wrote: "I would like this discussion to end here as I feel uncomfortable. Please leave me alone." On the one hand, participation in dispute resolution is entirely voluntary, and I can close the thread. However, this discussion is your best opportunity to get the Israeli official name of the police district included. If you don't discuss, you won't get to make your case. I don't know the exact policy on what happens if a participant withdraws from discussion because they feel uncomfortable, but I think that you will be pushing discomfort down the road. They may take "Judea and Samaria" out of the name of the district (although it is its name), and if you revert, we will be right back where we started. Editing the article is voluntary, but complying with Wikipedia guidelines is not voluntary. So please reconsider your request to end the discussion. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:47, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

I have no pictures. I actually passed through the Fetterman location (now absorbed into Grafton) on a railroad hi-rail car about 35 years ago. The information in the article is from the sources quoted. I wrote my contribution to the article a few years ago but I don't remember any pictures in those sources. I wrote the article because of Fetterman's significance to events at the start of the American Civil War, not because I happened to have passed through the location or had any special knowledge. I do remember it because it struck me at the time as the name of a later (1866) Native American/Army battle, the Fetterman Fight, and I remembered it mainly because of that coincidence. Sorry I could be no help with a picture. Donner60 ( talk) 04:20, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Portland and Westmoreland Places in St. Louis is a historic district, not a single house, see the nomination (some pages unreadable) and map. That makes the redirect resulting from your page move wrong, Portland and Westmoreland Places needs to be an article for the HD, not a redirect to a single contributing property. Also, I don't see anything that makes Orthwein Mansion independently notable such that is deserves its own article.
Unless there is more to Orthwein than is in the article so far, I think the best thing to do is ask for a deletion of Orthwein Mansion as not notable, or you could just ask for a speedy delete as a page built in error; then edit the current redirect into an HD article for Portland and Westmoreland Places and discuss Orthwein there.

Hi, regarding your removal of the PROD
here, you need to be sure that the articles you create meet either our
general notability guideline or our more specific guidelines found through
WP:NOTABILITY. In this case, the more specific guideline would be
WP:NCORP. The general notability guideline says, If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.
The three references in the article do nothing to establish the subject's notability. We have
a primary source, which fails as "independent", a passing mention (aka, the opposite of "signficant coverage") in what appears to be
a Bloomberg directory, and
this faceless website, which would not qualify as a reliable source, and still doesn't present any significant coverage. So long as Wikipedia's notability concerns are not addressed, the article will always be at risk for deletion. Thanks,

Zigzig, I just noticed your edit count today, so on the one hand I'm a little bit embarrassed for leaving the notability note above because it's more suitable for a n00b, but on the other hand it's a little confusing that establishing notability wasn't an instinctive first step in writing the Windmill Organics article.

I see you've created many stubs this past month about plantations listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Thank you for your contributions. I do want to mention one piece of advice about these stubs, though. When you create a stub about a place on the NRHP, and you use {{
Infobox NRHP}}, if you do not include an NRIS reference number for the site (which can be found in the relevant NRHP county list) in the |refnum=
parameter in the infobox, the page is added to the cleanup category
Category:NRHP infobox needing cleanup. You can see now that many of your articles have ended up in this category. I have added the reference number as well as some other useful information like coordinates to a few of these stubs just now using a tool created by one of the members of
WP:NRHP that can be found
here. If you type in a reference number for a site, it will generate a full infobox for the site, which you can copy and paste into the new article as a starting point. If you would like to use this tool to add reference numbers and other information to the articles you've created that are in this cleanup category, that would be much appreciated; however, if not, I or someone else from the project will get around to it shortly. In the future when you are creating articles, though, please try to add at least the reference number to the infoboxes of the new articles so that they will not be placed in the cleanup category. Thank you again!--

Your recent editing history at Hillary Clinton shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Kindly stop talking about Hilary Clinton "barking". She was not barking. Barking is the sound that dogs make, and Hilary Clinton is not a dog. I'm phrasing this in a somewhat stilted manner because I don't want to presume anything about your motivation for your choice of words, but I'm telling you you need to stop talking like that. It took a couple editors and three hours before you found your quotation marks; that's too long. You've been warned, I see, about discretionary sanctions for the broad topic area of American politics, but you're already falling foul of BLP guidelines, as far as I'm concerned, and I will have no hesitation blocking you, or topic-banning you from the area. One more thing: an editor placing a warning on your talk page does not constitute harassment; false claims of harassment, however, do. Thank you, Drmies ( talk) 00:52, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi there ZigZig. Over the past few years I've tried to create articles about all the ghost towns and populated places along the Mississippi River in Mississippi. This map shows much of it. I think I got the last one yesterday with Loch Leven, Mississippi.
I'd like your opinion on something. When I wrote Loch Leven I decided to use the " Infobox Settlement" template, and create the article about a populated place in Wilkinson County (and not just a plantation with a history). The advantage to creating it as a populated place is that the article get more traffic because it can be linked from the county article and county template. Also, Loch Leven has it's own GNIS listing as a populated place, and had many characteristics of a settlement (a post office, church, cemetery).
I'm wondering if your article about the Leota Plantation could be merged into the article about Leota, Mississippi? I don't have a location for the Leota Plantation, but it's likely at or near Leota. If you think it needs a stand-alone article I totally understand, in which case I'll just link the two articles. Let me know. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 12:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Aside from Chesky, this brilliant, totally accurate, definitive list of Jews also includes (non-Jews) Samantha Power and Reid Hoffman. Are you saying we should list Irish Catholic Irishwoman Samantha Power as Jewish also just because she's on this list? Then start with her page. Dohodho ( talk) 23:09, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
So it's "nonsensical" to say that the "source" lists Samantha Power and Reid Hoffman's names next to Chesky's? Why are those two wrong and this one is right? How many errors does that page have to make before it becomes unreliable? Give me the number. I want the number of errors that page has to make before it becomes unreliable. Tell me that number. BTW, it doesn't even strictly speaking call any of them Jewish. Now why don't you go to Power's page and change religion from "Roman Catholic" to "Judaism". Brian Cheksy is the grandson of Harry A. Chesky and Gladys Dylewicz, who were Polish Catholics, and of Nicholas H. Campese and Anne L. Campana, who were Italian Catholics. There's only one outcome to this, and that is Chesky not being listed as Jewish (unless he converts some day, of course). That's the only way this ends. Do you really want to waste your time delaying the inevitable? Dohodho ( talk) 22:37, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi. You reverted my edit on the Crippled America page, where I added an update to the statement that all proceeds will be donated to charity to reflect the multiple news stories this month investigating whether Donald Trump follows through on his promises to donate money to charity (As well as the two I added, other newspapers have reported on his charitable claims regarding the Trump Foundation, http://www.businessinsider.com/theres-something-fishy-about-donald-trumps-charitable-donations-2015-8?r=US&IR=T ; his Veterans fundraiser, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/24/four-months-later-donald-trump-says-he-gave-1-million-to-veterans-group/ ; Trump University, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/donald-trump-said-university-was-all-about-education-actually-its-goal-was-sell-sell-sell/2016/06/04/5b6545d0-2819-11e6-ae4a-3cdd5fe74204_story.html ; other Trump businesses, http://www.newsmax.com/US/trump-board-game-proceeds/2016/06/11/id/733407/).
You reverted the edits on the ground that it was speculative. Whilst I disagree (as the source said that the Trump campaign and publisher were asked to confirm if money had been donated and couldn't), I understand how, debatably, it could be considered such. However, if my edit was speculative, I would argue that the statement "All proceeds from the book will be donated to charity" is also speculative by its self, and should also be removed. I'd be interested in your opinion on this. MoreofaGlorifiedPond,Really... ( talk) 20:10, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there. I have been hated for my creating short NRHP stub articles, and I am sympathetic to editors wanting to create short stubs if they want to. On one level perhaps it is better for me. But hey, this creation of Roseland (Ferriday, Louisiana), is really minimal! (I happen to be seeing multiple creations like this because they link to a page I created, so I get notices.) And, I find it misleading. In the edit summary you assert you have created a referenced stub, and in the article you give a link to a NRHP nomination document with your reporting you accessed it on July 18, 2016. But you did not access it, there is no nomination document there, right? So it seems false, and misleading to local editors who may arrive later and believe that there once was a source available there. I don't think this is right, and I sort of think you should return to any like this and strike the "accessdate" and give an edit summary that is clear about this.
Or do you have the documents in hand somehow, and are you going to develop them, or what am I not getting? Cheers, -- do ncr am 00:26, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
I noticed you assessed this article as "start" class. That is, an article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete. It might or might not cite adequate reliable sources. Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. Surely it is not all that bad. What most needs fixing? Aymatth2 ( talk) 15:22, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I searched some different Louisiana newspapers for his obituaries but didn't find anything. I found this pdf on LSU's website that you included in the article. It's kind of annoying that it has his birthday but not his death date. I searched on the Louisiana House of Representatives member history and found him on this pdf under Ascension Parish 1912, though it doesn't have his birth or death dates so it's not too useful. I searched him on another database ( here), though didn't find his birth or death date either. I searched for history of him as mayor of Donaldsonville, LA in hopes of finding a death date, though couldn't find anything. I don't really know where else I could go from here, though I can try to look deeper in a few days when everyone here is less busy as there is a lot of work after the floods in the community.

I do want to apologize if my AfDs or comments made you less motivated to contribute. Having written 1000+ articles myself and having experienced the annoyance of seeing them at AfD, I do realize very well that we put a lot of effort into volunteering here, and hearing criticism more often then praise is discouraging. Please understand, however, that in light of this project drawing in SPAM ( IMHO, at least), and with numerous incidents of editors not disclosing their PAID/COI interests, when one sees a series of articles that look like they would be the work of a PR agency, a more serious look is needed. It is not harassment by any means, it is simply the usual wiki "check someone else works for potential problems" approach. AfD is after all a discussion, and if you convince me and the community that those articles are notable, my hat is off to you. There is nothing bad with honest, AGF discussion. I will again repeat that I think you are doing a lot of good work here, but in the spirit of ensuring our policies like WP:N are followed, please understand that occasionally some of our contributions (mine as well as yours) have to be scrutinized, because even good-faith, experienced editors like ourselves can make some mistakes. I hope this clears my motives a little. Once again, thank you for your hard work and please treat any of my criticism as good-faithed, not ill-intended. Cheers,

You had asked me if I knew of Mormons helping in the wake of the flooding. Per this article [4] about 6,500 have with 5,000 more potentially coming. It does not give any indication of where those involved came from. However knowing various factors, my guess is that most have come from Texas, with aid from those in unaffected parts of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi also significant. However the number of Mormons in Texas is much greater than any of these other states, actually greater than those 4 other states combined. While West Texas has significant numbers of Mormons, The Dallans to Houston corridor is where most in the state are, and the most heavily Mormon area in Texas is the east Texas town of Gilmer.

I have granted rollback rights to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam ( talk) 06:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. — Sladen ( talk) 02:02, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I was warning you about your potentially disruptive editing. Since it concerns your editing, it belongs here. Warning editors about disruption isn't harassment - in fact, it's an opportunity for you to avoid continuing down that route. Guettarda ( talk) 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Bill Laurie. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Hirolovesswords ( talk) 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at 2015 University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon racism incident.

There are at least three obvious reverts on that page; bear in mind that complex reverts, that return a page or a portion of a page to a prior version are still reverts even if you didn't do it via a single edit. This is your second edit-warring warning in two days. Take it as a sign that you need to take a less aggressive approach to editing. Guettarda ( talk) 20:19, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at 2015 University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon racism incident shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Best, HiDrNick! 21:15, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

No, I had no knowledge of who Khalifa Jassim Al Kuwari was until I read your article on Ken Costa. A Google search of the keywords 'Songbird Estate' and 'Khalifa Al Kuwari' reveals his profile on Bloomberg which claims he served as the non executive director of Songbird Estate from 2010 and 2014. Additionally, he apparently has held several distinguished positions in Qatar Investment Authority and Qatar Exchange. He has an impressive résumé in terms of directorships of investment companies, yet, in my brief search, I could not find any reports by major news organizations which mention him bar a Reuters article.

There is discussion at the dispute resolution noticeboard about your addition of the phrase "Judea and Samaria" to the article on Yishai Schlissel.

You wrote: "I would like this discussion to end here as I feel uncomfortable. Please leave me alone." On the one hand, participation in dispute resolution is entirely voluntary, and I can close the thread. However, this discussion is your best opportunity to get the Israeli official name of the police district included. If you don't discuss, you won't get to make your case. I don't know the exact policy on what happens if a participant withdraws from discussion because they feel uncomfortable, but I think that you will be pushing discomfort down the road. They may take "Judea and Samaria" out of the name of the district (although it is its name), and if you revert, we will be right back where we started. Editing the article is voluntary, but complying with Wikipedia guidelines is not voluntary. So please reconsider your request to end the discussion. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:47, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

I have no pictures. I actually passed through the Fetterman location (now absorbed into Grafton) on a railroad hi-rail car about 35 years ago. The information in the article is from the sources quoted. I wrote my contribution to the article a few years ago but I don't remember any pictures in those sources. I wrote the article because of Fetterman's significance to events at the start of the American Civil War, not because I happened to have passed through the location or had any special knowledge. I do remember it because it struck me at the time as the name of a later (1866) Native American/Army battle, the Fetterman Fight, and I remembered it mainly because of that coincidence. Sorry I could be no help with a picture. Donner60 ( talk) 04:20, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Portland and Westmoreland Places in St. Louis is a historic district, not a single house, see the nomination (some pages unreadable) and map. That makes the redirect resulting from your page move wrong, Portland and Westmoreland Places needs to be an article for the HD, not a redirect to a single contributing property. Also, I don't see anything that makes Orthwein Mansion independently notable such that is deserves its own article.
Unless there is more to Orthwein than is in the article so far, I think the best thing to do is ask for a deletion of Orthwein Mansion as not notable, or you could just ask for a speedy delete as a page built in error; then edit the current redirect into an HD article for Portland and Westmoreland Places and discuss Orthwein there.

Hi, regarding your removal of the PROD
here, you need to be sure that the articles you create meet either our
general notability guideline or our more specific guidelines found through
WP:NOTABILITY. In this case, the more specific guideline would be
WP:NCORP. The general notability guideline says, If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.
The three references in the article do nothing to establish the subject's notability. We have
a primary source, which fails as "independent", a passing mention (aka, the opposite of "signficant coverage") in what appears to be
a Bloomberg directory, and
this faceless website, which would not qualify as a reliable source, and still doesn't present any significant coverage. So long as Wikipedia's notability concerns are not addressed, the article will always be at risk for deletion. Thanks,

Zigzig, I just noticed your edit count today, so on the one hand I'm a little bit embarrassed for leaving the notability note above because it's more suitable for a n00b, but on the other hand it's a little confusing that establishing notability wasn't an instinctive first step in writing the Windmill Organics article.

I see you've created many stubs this past month about plantations listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Thank you for your contributions. I do want to mention one piece of advice about these stubs, though. When you create a stub about a place on the NRHP, and you use {{
Infobox NRHP}}, if you do not include an NRIS reference number for the site (which can be found in the relevant NRHP county list) in the |refnum=
parameter in the infobox, the page is added to the cleanup category
Category:NRHP infobox needing cleanup. You can see now that many of your articles have ended up in this category. I have added the reference number as well as some other useful information like coordinates to a few of these stubs just now using a tool created by one of the members of
WP:NRHP that can be found
here. If you type in a reference number for a site, it will generate a full infobox for the site, which you can copy and paste into the new article as a starting point. If you would like to use this tool to add reference numbers and other information to the articles you've created that are in this cleanup category, that would be much appreciated; however, if not, I or someone else from the project will get around to it shortly. In the future when you are creating articles, though, please try to add at least the reference number to the infoboxes of the new articles so that they will not be placed in the cleanup category. Thank you again!--

Your recent editing history at Hillary Clinton shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing.

Kindly stop talking about Hilary Clinton "barking". She was not barking. Barking is the sound that dogs make, and Hilary Clinton is not a dog. I'm phrasing this in a somewhat stilted manner because I don't want to presume anything about your motivation for your choice of words, but I'm telling you you need to stop talking like that. It took a couple editors and three hours before you found your quotation marks; that's too long. You've been warned, I see, about discretionary sanctions for the broad topic area of American politics, but you're already falling foul of BLP guidelines, as far as I'm concerned, and I will have no hesitation blocking you, or topic-banning you from the area.

Monaco at play in the countryside... Could you help find French sources for a potential DYK? :) Gareth E. Kegg ( talk) 20:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi there ZigZig. Over the past few years I've tried to create articles about all the ghost towns and populated places along the Mississippi River in Mississippi. This map shows much of it. I think I got the last one yesterday with Loch Leven, Mississippi.
I'd like your opinion on something. When I wrote Loch Leven I decided to use the " Infobox Settlement" template, and create the article about a populated place in Wilkinson County (and not just a plantation with a history). The advantage to creating it as a populated place is that the article get more traffic because it can be linked from the county article and county template. Also, Loch Leven has it's own GNIS listing as a populated place, and had many characteristics of a settlement (a post office, church, cemetery).
I'm wondering if your article about the Leota Plantation could be merged into the article about Leota, Mississippi? I don't have a location for the Leota Plantation, but it's likely at or near Leota. If you think it needs a stand-alone article I totally understand, in which case I'll just link the two articles. Let me know. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 12:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Aside from Chesky, this brilliant, totally accurate, definitive list of Jews also includes (non-Jews) Samantha Power and Reid Hoffman. Are you saying we should list Irish Catholic Irishwoman Samantha Power as Jewish also just because she's on this list? Then start with her page. Dohodho ( talk) 23:09, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
So it's "nonsensical" to say that the "source" lists Samantha Power and Reid Hoffman's names next to Chesky's? Why are those two wrong and this one is right? How many errors does that page have to make before it becomes unreliable? Give me the number. I want the number of errors that page has to make before it becomes unreliable. Tell me that number. BTW, it doesn't even strictly speaking call any of them Jewish. Now why don't you go to Power's page and change religion from "Roman Catholic" to "Judaism". Brian Cheksy is the grandson of Harry A. Chesky and Gladys Dylewicz, who were Polish Catholics, and of Nicholas H. Campese and Anne L. Campana, who were Italian Catholics. There's only one outcome to this, and that is Chesky not being listed as Jewish (unless he converts some day, of course). That's the only way this ends. Do you really want to waste your time delaying the inevitable? Dohodho ( talk) 22:37, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi. You reverted my edit on the Crippled America page, where I added an update to the statement that all proceeds will be donated to charity to reflect the multiple news stories this month investigating whether Donald Trump follows through on his promises to donate money to charity (As well as the two I added, other newspapers have reported on his charitable claims regarding the Trump Foundation, http://www.businessinsider.com/theres-something-fishy-about-donald-trumps-charitable-donations-2015-8?r=US&IR=T ; his Veterans fundraiser, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/24/four-months-later-donald-trump-says-he-gave-1-million-to-veterans-group/ ; Trump University, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/donald-trump-said-university-was-all-about-education-actually-its-goal-was-sell-sell-sell/2016/06/04/5b6545d0-2819-11e6-ae4a-3cdd5fe74204_story.html ; other Trump businesses, http://www.newsmax.com/US/trump-board-game-proceeds/2016/06/11/id/733407/).
You reverted the edits on the ground that it was speculative. Whilst I disagree (as the source said that the Trump campaign and publisher were asked to confirm if money had been donated and couldn't), I understand how, debatably, it could be considered such. However, if my edit was speculative, I would argue that the statement "All proceeds from the book will be donated to charity" is also speculative by its self, and should also be removed. I'd be interested in your opinion on this. MoreofaGlorifiedPond,Really... ( talk) 20:10, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there. I have been hated for my creating short NRHP stub articles, and I am sympathetic to editors wanting to create short stubs if they want to. On one level perhaps it is better for me. But hey, this creation of Roseland (Ferriday, Louisiana), is really minimal! (I happen to be seeing multiple creations like this because they link to a page I created, so I get notices.) And, I find it misleading. In the edit summary you assert you have created a referenced stub, and in the article you give a link to a NRHP nomination document with your reporting you accessed it on July 18, 2016. But you did not access it, there is no nomination document there, right? So it seems false, and misleading to local editors who may arrive later and believe that there once was a source available there. I don't think this is right, and I sort of think you should return to any like this and strike the "accessdate" and give an edit summary that is clear about this.
Or do you have the documents in hand somehow, and are you going to develop them, or what am I not getting? Cheers, -- do ncr am 00:26, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
I noticed you assessed this article as "start" class. That is, an article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete. It might or might not cite adequate reliable sources. Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. Surely it is not all that bad. What most needs fixing? Aymatth2 ( talk) 15:22, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I searched some different Louisiana newspapers for his obituaries but didn't find anything. I found this pdf on LSU's website that you included in the article. It's kind of annoying that it has his birthday but not his death date. I searched on the Louisiana House of Representatives member history and found him on this pdf under Ascension Parish 1912, though it doesn't have his birth or death dates so it's not too useful. I searched him on another database ( here), though didn't find his birth or death date either. I searched for history of him as mayor of Donaldsonville, LA in hopes of finding a death date, though couldn't find anything. I don't really know where else I could go from here, though I can try to look deeper in a few days when everyone here is less busy as there is a lot of work after the floods in the community. Sorry I couldn't find anything yet. Williamcasey ( talk) 01:17, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

I do want to apologize if my AfDs or comments made you less motivated to contribute. Having written 1000+ articles myself and having experienced the annoyance of seeing them at AfD, I do realize very well that we put a lot of effort into volunteering here, and hearing criticism more often then praise is discouraging. Please understand, however, that in light of this project drawing in SPAM ( IMHO, at least), and with numerous incidents of editors not disclosing their PAID/COI interests, when one sees a series of articles that look like they would be the work of a PR agency, a more serious look is needed. It is not harassment by any means, it is simply the usual wiki "check someone else works for potential problems" approach. AfD is after all a discussion, and if you convince me and the community that those articles are notable, my hat is off to you. There is nothing bad with honest, AGF discussion. I will again repeat that I think you are doing a lot of good work here, but in the spirit of ensuring our policies like WP:N are followed, please understand that occasionally some of our contributions (mine as well as yours) have to be scrutinized, because even good-faith, experienced editors like ourselves can make some mistakes. I hope this clears my motives a little. Once again, thank you for your hard work and please treat any of my criticism as good-faithed, not ill-intended. Cheers,

Regarding this edit, "It's the first one EVER!", what does that matter? Why is a parade, of which there can be many in any town annually, notable? Should we note the first MTSU Homecoming parade, the first city Christmas parade? How many other little firsts have there been in the city's history? Of course not, because they are generally not notable. I know of nothing that sets the pride parade itself as specifically notable, either. — Huntster ( t @ c) 16:21, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

You had asked me if I knew of Mormons helping in the wake of the flooding. Per this article [4] about 6,500 have with 5,000 more potentially coming. It does not give any indication of where those involved came from. However knowing various factors, my guess is that most have come from Texas, with aid from those in unaffected parts of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi also significant. However the number of Mormons in Texas is much greater than any of these other states, actually greater than those 4 other states combined. While West Texas has significant numbers of Mormons, The Dallans to Houston corridor is where most in the state are, and the most heavily Mormon area in Texas is the east Texas town of Gilmer.
