No, there is nothing like {{

I did notice the conversation at Cite EB1911, so I think I'll let you two figure out exactly how you want to handle the categories and whatnot with that situation and then I'll go ahead and set up similar templates for other PD sources where we only have the Cite template. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:19, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. My contributions history can probably shed some light on the matter. I did think having the link to Wikisource was much more important than the plagiarism notice, though indeed if I'd been more thoughtful I would have left both. With a Wikisource link the source text is readily available for inspection and any copying is abundantly obvious, so I think the notice is less vital in this situation than in others, though my current policy is to include it.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Van Zorn 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/Van Zorn 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 good 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 template from the top of the article. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:56, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bob Burckhardt, just a note Template:Infobox academic is no longer an infobox instead it's a redirect to Template:Infobox scientist. So when adding new infoboxes please use Infobox scientist instead. Thanks, GcSwRhIc (talk) 21:54, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scientist is an inappropriate label for many academics. Perhaps the two infoboxes will part company at some point, but a redirect seems appropriate for now, and I plan to continue using Infobox academic. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 14:15, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job in including some of the wikisource articles in the {{

The unnamed parameter makes life much easier for an editor. I code templates myself and I know it is simple to incorporate. I think we should have it both ways. Just for that one parameter. No objection to you using wstitle as well. Please meet me half way for the sake of editor convenience. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 16:10, 8 December 2011 (UTC) And on reflection, I don't think the unnamed parameter poses any problem for error checking since there is just one. It just makes those 10,000 links to Wikisource easier to code. And those who like the wstitle decoration are welcome to use wstitle. For ease of use, I think the unnamed parameter should be an option for all the citation templates that link to Wikisource, and wstitle too if you want. To some extent, it seems like your penchant for putting "Attribution" in front of references. To me it seems like a useless decoration, but maybe there is something you are trying to communicate, so I have started leaving it alone when I find it. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 14:52, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well actually now I am removing Attribution when I find it. It just looks like a piece of graffiti to me, not a constructive edit. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 21:27, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the "Attribution" note is part of an effort to get in-line citations when there are multiple references. I admit in many cases this can be helpful, and I use in-line citations much of the time. I tend to neglect them when there are just a few references whose text is readily available. Along with eliminating the "Attribution," I have been changing {{

In the text "His father, named Frederick and also born in New York City, was a nephew of Arent DePeyster, and fought for the British crown during the American Revolution.

In 1820 he was appointed master in chancery.", it is the son, the subject of the article, that graduated Columbia in1816, right?

My work was not so much a move as an integration of two articles on the same subject which had grown up separately. As I said on the now-integrated talk page, to me "Knurr and Spell" seems like the best label for the page. Except for EB1911, which calls it "Trap-ball" (with an archaic hyphen which should be removed in everything except the article link), all the encyclopedia articles I have found call it "Knurr and Spell", perhaps with slight variations. I recently transcribed an article from 1905 NIE on "Knurr and Spell" which I think will have some interesting content to add to the article, and I hope to get that into the article today. When I do that, I can do a copy turning "Knurr and Spell" into the main article and "Trap-ball" into the redirect. A move, which would require administrator intervention, I don't think has value here, since I don't see how both histories can be preserved, so we might as well do it the quick-and-dirty way.

Hey Bob, the debate over bird names has been thrashed out several times over the past several years - birds are unique among animals in that they are officially designated common names and hence capitalised. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point me to the article or discussion on this issue? Bob Burkhardt (talk) 20:45, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where to start.....Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds#Bird_names_and_article_titles, which is linked directly from Wikipedia:Article titles, is the current convention. This debate comes up at least once or twice a year - I need some time to dig up the arguments. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll try that to start and get back to you if I need more. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 21:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bob; if you want to trawl through old flamewars here's another place that people argue about this: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters. If you're interested in fixing capitalization, I would suggest work on any other kind of animal—mammals, amphibians, etc—if they're interesting to you. As far as I can tell consensus is that those should/can be moved to lowercase. Thanks, ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 22:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing wrong with relevant red links; please don't remove them from articles unless they're completely ridiculous. See

I think they are ugly, particularly when there are a lot, and the default display puts a line through them which makes them difficult to read. Once an article is written, links can be put in. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 17:21, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's much harder to find the links once they've been removed. If you don't like the way they display, you can change it in your stylesheet (I'd be happy to help you with that if you're not familiar with CSS), but please don't go against WP policy.—Chowbok ☠ 02:16, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How so? A simple search on the article name will display all the instances. I do it all the time when I write a new article. I leave a redlink occasionally, but I don't just plaster an article with them, or a paragraph, as with Franklin Benjamin Sanborn.Bob Burkhardt (talk) 01:27, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I left some ambiguous since my sources are not sufficient to distinguish. New York seems like a pretty ambiguous place (e.g. 2 Brightons and 2 Chesters), but Wikipedia seems to overdo it.

I took a closer look, unfortunately this family had a bent for recycling names. as a result I started a rage and transferred what info you added -- to that page

A move would have been more appropriate. Wikipedia isn't a genealogy site. I would say the dreadfully obscure Van Rensselaers should just remain notes on their parents' pages. And I think the disambiguation more properly belongs on the obscure fellow. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 15:09, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to August Leskien may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• extraordinary professor of Slavic philology at the University of Leipzig. He was promoted to full (({{lang-de|ordentlicher}}) professorship in 1876 and remained in the position until 1915. Leskien

Thanks,

Thank you for this edit, but please remember to check whether the long citation is used by short citations and if you change the author in the long citation please make similar changes to the short ones. -- PBS (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The following mistake results in a widely propagated inaccuracy to an out-of-copyright citation at Wikipedia.If it can be fixed, the correction will propagate widely, and result in improved information accuracy in the encyclopedia.

The template:

This article incorporates text from a publication now in the

should reflect the fact that the editors of this first edition were: Daniel Coit Gilman, Harry Thurston Peck, and Frank Moore Colby (see Template:New_International_Encyclopedia).

Instead, it presents the the third editor as "F. Moore" (presenting the middle name, omitting the surname).

Please, indicate here how this might be fixed (or, if easily done, execute the correction yourselves)? Cheers. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bob Burkhardt:, would you mind changing the article name Güstav von Rümelin as on other versions? Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 05:24, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is the way my source gives his name. I am not inclined to change it. I only have the one source. If there was another English-language source with the "von" I'd think more seriously about changing it. Thanks for your interest. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 16:11, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have a question about the article on Robert Koehler. If I am reading the history of the article correctly, you are the editor who added in the Works section of the article, "a portrait at the public library at Alexandria, Minnesota." What was your source for this fact and do you know who the portrait is of? Thanks Mgblck (talk) 17:25, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See  Encyclopedia Americana. 1920. {{cite encyclopedia}}: Missing or empty |title= (help) The source gives no indication of who the portrait is of. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 16:07, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that HA Webster should not be deleted. I am at work on a full scale bio of him. If you are the author of the page I can send you (less than optimal) photos of his grave at Montparnesse Cemetery in Paris.

I left some information on the talk page which, I hope, will prove that he is notable. If you are the author please e-mail me. Nicodemus (talk) 21:29, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You were looking at a failed deletion request of three years ago, but thank you for your comment on the talk page. My alter ego, Library Guy, was indeed the author. The article certainly has expanded since I put it together. A major Wikisource activity of mine is transcribing old encyclopedia articles, and an Americana article, and additional internet support, suggested a Wikipedia article about him would be viable. I don't know anything beyond what I posted in the article. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 14:55, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Bob Burkhardt, thank you for your efforts to add and improve EB1911 links to Wikipedia. However, I have reverted this specific case - with a common topic like "Flower" there should be literally dozens of more modern sources, who better reflect the current level of scientific knowledge. Nothing against EB, I find it often useful for lesser-known or not-so-popular topics. But when more modern sources are available, we should avoid relying on a partially outdated source or external link. Also see

I think the EB links are useful for people looking to get an idea on how knowledge on the topic has evolved, and perhaps some of its examples are good for additional amplification. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 17:48, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid I've had to blank

I can put something together out of my PD encyclopedias and DAB when you are ready. Thanks for the notification. Starting the article by copying from another without being familiar with its sources was a bad move on my part. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 15:49, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's good news, at least. I don't know if you've ever done one of these before, but in case you haven't: please follow this link to create a temporary page, please freely copy over the infobox, references, categories and so on from the old version, and please don't copy over any running text unless you're sure you wrote it yourself. Once the page has been started (and it doesn't matter how rudimentary it is), drop a note here or on the talk-page of the old version, and I'll ask someone to move it into place. If you prefer, I can start the page, copy over the non-creative content and so on, and leave the hard work – the actual writing – for you to do at your leisure. Let me know if you'd like me to do that. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:43, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd appreciate it if you'd start a skeleton for me. Thank you. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 15:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

With pleasure! Done, it's here. I've copied over all the previous references but just dumped most of them into the middle of the page, so they'll need some sorting out. I can ask at any time for the rewrite to be moved into the place of the former article (which will then disappear). I've not yet done so in case you wanted to refer to the previous text for guidance, but please let me know as soon as you are ready for that to happen. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:13, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please excuse my writing on WP about a WS article; I think most of us monitor this space more frequently. I'm editing the EB1911 "Vestments" article for reasons too obscure to go into, and was puzzling over how to float the bishop images into a place approximating the same place as in the printed books. The problem is that the normal File/thumb syntax forces a paragraph break, and the images are often in the middle of the typically long EB1911 paragraph. Then I stumbled across the Img float template, which only exists in WS, presumably for just this purpose. It uses an HTML span element to corral the image and supporting text as close as possible to the source location. See the first image in that article, here: s:Page:EB1911_-_Volume_27.djvu/1086 (still not replicating the text outdenting and l/r justification though). @DivermanAU: I see that you have used table markup for a similar purpose. Is there some community guidance I've missed? I've already taken the liberty of adding this discovery to s:Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Style Manual, in part so that I don't forget it myself. Also @PBS:. David Brooks (talk) 19:17, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

David, Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I usually use a table set to left or right alignment for this purpose, but this restricts me to placing images at the beginning of a paragraph. The facility you have found seems more flexible, and I haven't seen it until now. I will keep it in mind. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 19:41, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also consider the Img float template — I usually use something like <table style="float: left;... as that's what the Gutenberg EB1911 proofers have used and I often copy from there. DivermanAU (talk) 20:35, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So far I've found this technique especially helpful in NSRW which usually has very short, simple captions. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 16:57, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you added a Master's degree from Hanover College to the education of Dr. Harvey Wiley (FDA Commissioner) -- sometime back around 2009 or 2010. Do you have a source for this? To my knowledge, Hanover College has never issued Master's degrees, and Dr. Wiley does not mention one in his quite detailed autobiography of 1930. Here is a link to the revisions: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harvey_Washington_Wiley&type=revision&diff=397115977&oldid=391832774 Jeromewiley (talk) 02:39, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just see the source listed in the footnote, the 12th edition of Britannica: "He was educated at Hanover (Ind.) College (A.B.1867; A.M.1870)..." The articles miss from time to time. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 16:15, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! Thank you! Tracking this down. Not sure if my local library has the print version of the 12th ed. Britannica, so emailed Hanover College directly to see if they have records of this. Jeromewiley (talk) 19:29, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Edmund Trowbridge Dana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I am surprised I put this ACAB knock off on Wikipedia. You are right; doesn't seem notable. This was one of my early efforts. Thanks for the opportunity to comment. I am also surprised it lasted as long as it did. Thank you for taking the trouble to delete it. Library Guy (talk) 13:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC) a.k.a. Bob Burkhardt I have redone the links above to go to the appropriate article. George Ticknor (the notable one) should certainly be spared, and I will save one of your comments below with the relevant link for future reference:[reply]

• Page 1 of the referenced PDF (Hunnewell, James Melville, ed. (1919). The Ticknor Family in America : Being an Account of the Descendants of William Ticknor of Scituate, and of Other Immigrants named Ticknor or Tickner. Boston. Retrieved July 5, 2017.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link)) calls the subject George Ticknor, however, see PDF page 137 and 139 (page 60-61 in the source document) his correct name was George Benjamin. He used the name Ticknor & Co., when he purchased/managed the NH Sentinel.

As a newbie to Wikipedia, I was a little bit nervous to nominate. The article was on a list I received from the suggestion bot. It was interesting, however, to learn a little bit more :) I'm glad I could help. Best Mollifiednow (talk) 23:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The genealogy was interesting. There are other Ticknors it could be useful for. My reading of it (thanks for your citation) doesn't indicate George Ticknor's name was ever George Benjamin. His father had Benjamin as a first name and one of his kids had that name. There always seems to be lots to learn on Wikimedia. I work on Wikisource most of the time. There ADAB and NIE have been fruitful sources for Wikipedia biographies, but now I make sure I have some other references as well. Thanks again for your efforts. Honestly it's tough to see one of the biographies I wrote disappear, but I think it was for the best on this particular one. Library Guy (talk) 15:31, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
