Misspelling; Proposal to move image

This comment is in reference to your photograph of the statue of Saint Lucy in the Saint Leonard of Port Maurice church in Boston. Two notes:

1/ The image name (SantaLuccia.jpg) contains a typographical error which may hinder searches. Also, I believe images should use all lower case in naming; ie, santalucia.jpg

2/ The image page for this image includes a note indicating that the image is a candidate to be moved to wikimedia commons, the preferred home for media. I am interested in linking to this image for a project and am considering moving it.

You made a comment on the Chili Bowl article using the term "gotcha". Someone else wrote an article about Gotcha Day, and they made a comment about how you used the term in your comment.

300 DYK & 400 DYK recognition

While the 200 DYK mark was something I did work toward, the beauty of the program is that each article is its own reward. When I see one of these articles was edited on my watchlist, taking another peek at one of my creations reminds me that I filled in a little hole in Wikipedia, adding information about something that never appeared here before. While the individual DYK notices of a latest entry being added to the main page are more than enough of a reward, I do appreciate your recognition, especially as it comes from someone who has a wide and fascinating portfolio of DYKs. Keep up the great work, which should be a reward of its own. Alansohn (talk) 14:20, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mmmm, fried chicken!

How did you know I was from the South, and missed some good greasy, artery-clogging, lip smacking, finger licking fried chicken? I appreciate the time you took to send me some "comfort food." Sometimes, it is the little acts of kindness that make all the unpaid, and often thankless hours of tedious work on Wikipedia worthwhile. So thanks again for taking the time to consider that people have feelings, and we aren't just mindless automatons. You are a great asset to Wikipedia, and I'm sorry that I acted like an ass during the discussions. Uncle G was not nearly as hard on me as I've been on myself all day for being such an ass during the discussions yesterday. I gave myself a time out, and have apologized to everyone I may have slighted during my emotional response yesterday. Thanks again! --OliverTwisted (Talk) (Stuff) 03:09, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does the source call her an outspoken lesbian? I can't find it anywhere but if you can confirm it I will look again. She seems if anything to be a bit dismissive of the whole thing – as though she just wanted to get that bit out of the way and get on with her life... I'm also uncertain about the source and its reliability on the subject. It is four years old but it is also from a British newspaper. Her background appears to be a Catholic in Northern Ireland and then it could become overly political (although, and I'm possibly running away with things a bit, but is it best to rely only on this source for describing her personality/sexuality?) There must be something from Ireland as well to balance it out a bit... "outspoken" and "lesbian" does seem a bit much, especially for an encyclopedia – perhaps keep one and drop the other? Although I still can't figure out how she is outspoken about the subject just because she wrote a book... the ending is a bit eerie where she hopes they'll meet with zimmer frames when they're eighty... she didn't even make seventy... --

  • Well, she's out as a lesbian for certain. And for an Irish celebrity, she's an "outspoken lesbian" but the article doesn't use that two word phrase specifically. As I said

Chinatown, Boston

Actually it is appropriate to write about that in these articles. I notice the Sampan, for instance, wrote about when the health center planned to expand into Quincy, MA: [1] Because reliable sources cover this, it is appropriate to post this in Wikipedia. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apologies, I partially misread what you wrote. We don't typically list street addresses; that and the content of the references threw me off when I read the change. I've restored the edit by moving your edit and the mention of Tufts Medical Center to a section on "Health care" within the Chinatown, Boston article. Best wishes, and again, I apologize for my careless edit. --Boston (talk) 16:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks! - As another idea related to neighborhood articles, why not try to discuss which public schools are in certain neighborhoods. I'm not sure how much information Boston Public Schools releases, but it would be useful to explain which schools have ties to which neighborhoods. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, make sure it emphasizes that it is the largest in terms of book volumes. When I first removed the statement it merely said "the largest municipal public library" - Largest in what? Now that we know this specifically, it helps to say "largest in terms of book volumes" as that is specific. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:54, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unfortunately the link cited in the paragraph died and there is no access date on it. Also nothing turns up on web.archive.org... WhisperToMe (talk) 22:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments about my contributions to the Maundy Thursday debate are too kind.

I've been watching the section removal go back and forth and perhaps it's best to leave it out. The way that section is currently written serves little purpose other than to give a rap sheet for British Pakistani terrorists. The lack of any discursive prose makes the section seem like it is intended to slight British Pakistanis. The topic of terrorism/extremists should be noted but a list of British Pakistani terrorists isn't really doing a good job of that. I'd be in favour of leaving it out until something more meaningful is written. The first paragraph in the main of this draft article is a better representation of what should be there. In fact maybe a modification of the first two paragraphs may suffice for the main article now? Sillyfolkboy (talk) 18:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moors again

Hi Boston. We seem to have a problem with sockpuppeting on the Moors article again. There have been numerous IPs & recently-created accounts that have been repeatedly removing the same material from the article as the blocked accounts of before. Another editor has started a talk page discussion that logs what has transpired up until now. I also notice that one of the blocked accounts has removed the sock drawer you added to his talk page, which contains the details of the previous sock case.

Kibbelgaarn body

Proposed deletion of Kibbelgaarn body

The article

Kibbelgaarn body has been proposed for deletion
because of the following concern:

The subject of this page seems to lack notability. It is briefly mentioned in what appears to be main article covering this general subject, Bog body. Alternatively, this article could be (and seems to be already) merged into the Bog body article if it is notable enough for that.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be

deleted for any of several reasons
.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{

dated prod}} 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 {{

dated prod}} 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. Linkfix2001 (talk) 21:29, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright
infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File:GenericTetra.jpg missing description details

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:GenericTetra.jpg is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors to make better use of the image, and it will be more informative for readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not

autoconfirmed
to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious

Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here
.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 19:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Boston.

The license of your images at commons have been changed by an IP from PD to Cc-by-sa-3.0. There are two problems with that. 1) Images can not be relicensed. If the have been in PD they will always be in in PD 2) If an IP does the change, it might have been you but nobody knows. That is why the changes have been reverted. You can change the license to {{PD-user|Your Name}} if you want. Amada44  talk to me 14:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:CommodoreNutt.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:CommodoreNutt.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:53, 28 August 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Boston. The

Wikipedia Ambassador Program
is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

A tag has been placed on

section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright
infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

  1. Go to

  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard

to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Inkwell Foundation 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 an organization or company, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Weld family

Hi I am a Weld family member. I went back to the history of the article and you created it. I was wondering if you are a Weld yourself, or have any relation? What made you start that page? I'm really interested in the Weld family tree, and would love to learn more. I know it was a long time ago, but please answer. Thank you Mweld (talk) 05:26, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article Scrarour has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable place with no legal recognition. If it were a populated place, it might meet WP:GEOLAND (and hence might be worth merging/redirecting/covering in the next largest administrative division which does have legal recognition). But it has ZERO population. Not a single house or resident. The subject here is, effectively, 3.5 fields spanning 0.1 square miles. I have searched for sources to confirm notability (and expand this beyond the one-line DICDEF entry it has remained since creation. But I can find nothing at all. The author seems to have created this only so there wouldn't be a redlink on another article. It otherwise has no encyclopedic value. WP:NOTEVERYTHING

The article Skenakilly has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject doesn't exist. Not by this name at any rate. The incredibly comprehensive townlands.ie directory has no entry for "Skenakilly". Nor does the state-sponsored Placenames Database of Ireland have any entry for "Skenakilly" either. Both directories have entries for a different spelling Skenakilla (with an "a"). But these just confirm that the subject exists as a small (0.4 sq mile) townland. A broader search confirms that this is a "populated place without legal recognition" (with a population of 22 people in 10 houses no less). But that's all I can find. WP:GEOLAND would suggest covering the subject under the article on the next largest sub-division (the civil parish in which it lies). But we don't need a redirect to do that. And it would largely just stand as an WP:EASTEREGG. Article only seems to have been created to avoid a redlink. It has no other encyclopedic value. Other than to explain why we have WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:GEOLAND guidelines.

The article Ardkillihien has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The titular subject doesn't exist. There is no townland called "Ardkillihien" in the Civil Parish of Castletownroche. The intended subject here was/is probably the townland known in Irish as Ard Coilchín (and in English as "Naglesborough"). Naglesborough/Ard Coilchín, however, is not where the coords indicate (the coords point between the townlands of Castlewidenham and Connaberry). And is a very small townland regardless (0.3 sq mi 10 residents in 2011). There is more wrong here than right. Moving the article to the correct title (Naglesborough/Ard Coilchín), and "fixing" the coords, would be of no value. As there would be no other content regardless (the updated stub would remain another DICDEF permastub, and stand only as an example of why WP:GEOLAND doesn't provide for the creation of "directory" style entries for every possible small parcel of land everywhere...

The article Rathacarthen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The titular subject doesn't exist. There is no townland called "Rathacarthen" in the Civil Parish of Castletownroche. The intended subject here was/is probably the townland of "Rathnacarton". However, a move/redirect would likely just result in (another) DICDEF permastub. As the townland of Rathnacarton is very small (290 acres), contains only a small number of houses, and is too small for the census returns to contain any data (which only happens when townlands have less than 4 people in them; for privacy reasons). While WP:GEOLAND might propose that we redirect and cover the topic in the next largest administrative area (the Civil Parish of Castletownroche), this would likely just be an EASTEREGG. As there would be little to nothing to say. Article seems to have been created just to avoid a redlink in a list...

The article Loughrowane has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unclear how subject meets WP:GEOLAND. The subject is a very small townland (0.4 square miles, 6 houses, 17 inhabitants) on the outskirts of Castletownroche. Townlands do not automatically meet the expectations of GEOLAND, and while the place does have a small population, I can find no material sources to either establish notability (independent of the town/civil parish of which it is part). Or to allow for expansion beyond this PERMASTUB. While we could redirect to Castletownroche (the next largest legally recognised place that contains it), that just seems like it would be an WP:EASTEREGG. This 9-word article seems to have been created just to avoid a redlink in a single article/list...
