Some Tulsa article suggestions
Thank you very much for your efforts on Tulsa-related articles; it was certainly a pleasure to see William Skelly come to life this week. If sports topics interest you, one article that is screaming out for help is Tulsa Golden Hurricane football, in which there is currently a four-decade gap between 1968's infamous 100-6 loss to Houston and the record-breaking win in the 2008 GMAC Bowl. More generally, the history of the University of Tulsa is a topic in need of elaboration--this came to my attention after the death of Ben Graf Henneke, and while I was writing an article about him, I collected some sources on other TU presidents, but now I don't have as much research and writing time as I would like, so I would be more than happy to share the research with you if you're interested. Best regards, --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:19, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your post. It's good to hear that somebody noticed.
I'd be pleased to collaborate with you on this or other Tulsa articles. I would defer to others on the Golden Hurricane history. The period you indicated occurred after I moved away from the area, so I have nothing special to contribute. However, I have begun collecting factoids about the early history when TU was formed from the old Kendall College. So, one of my current interests is to expand the Tulsa University History section. Maybe we could move the Tulsa University article up another notch on the quality scale. Bruin2 (talk) 22:37, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough, and thanks for the response. The Oklahoma Encyclopedia article about TU is a useful outline, but I have a feeling that there are some significant gaps in its recounting of the school's history. Some months ago (while working on the article about Henneke), I collected a bunch of links to articles about TU's history since the presidency of C.I. Pontius, and then ran out of time to do more heavy research. I've put all of that on a workpage, User:Arxiloxos/University of Tulsa history references, and you should feel free to make use of this material as you see fit. (Technical note: The "formatted references" in the bottom section are displayed the way they are -- with a $ sign in lieu of the correct opening symbol < -- so that you can see the content of the footnote; otherwise they wouldn't display on the page. When you want to use one of those footnotes in an article, just copy it and change the $ back to a < and it should work.) Best, --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:28, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Arxiloxos. Thanks for offering me an opportunity to use your Tulsa University notes to move the article along. It's taken a long time, but I wanted to fill in a more complete list of former presidents of the university. That's done, although information about each individual's significance to the school is pretty sparse for most of the earlier ones. Please take a look at the article and let me know what you think. Bruin2 (talk) 14:43, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for the note and for your efforts; I am glad to see those sources being put to some use. Your continuing efforts on Tulsa topics are most appreciated. I have much less time to spend on Wikipedia these days, and am glad to see you (and hopefully others) carrying the load. Best,--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:51, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

W. R. Holway
I noticed your User:Bruin2/W. R. Holway (Engineer) article since it's already listed in several categories. If you don't want the article to appear in categories before it's ready, put a colon in after the square braces and before the word Category, e.g. [[:Category:Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumni]]. You'll still get a blue link to validate the category, but it won't get listed in the cat. Take that colon out when you move the article to the main space.
Some comments on the article:
- I'd move the notable achievements earlier in the intro, and move the routine bio to later sections.
- Also I'd rename the article w/o the "(Engineer)". Parenthetical titles are to be used for disambiguation and I couldn't find another W.R. in wikipedia to worry about.
Couple more thoughts:
- Add
{{
to the article's discussion page, with suitable additional parameters.WPBIO|living=no}} - I see there are a few unlinked references to W. R. already in Wikipedia that will need linking.
--J Clear (talk) 00:25, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your helpful comments. I'm ready to move the article to AfC.I think I have addressed all of them except the parenthetical addition to the title. I have no objection to removing that, but I think the action has to be taken by a Wikipedia administrator.Bruin2 (talk) 14:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Assuming you're able to move the article from the User: space, you should be able to rename it at the same time and eliminate the (). Never used AfC, so don't know if there's something different about that process. If you have a good article and you feel it doesn't violate any of the pillars (too much), then you could just move it to the mainspace directly. Be bold, as they say. --J Clear (talk) 21:54, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Nice job on this article by the way. It was a redlink the day I created Pensacola Dam but not the next day.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
W. R. Holway, and a note about notes
Very nice work on Holway. I've massaged the article somewhat, to fit various obscure criteria at places like
I also wanted to ask you about the footnote format you're using, with all of the external links placed at the end of the cites rather than linked directly in the footnote text. Is there a reason you prefer to do it this way? If you look around in the footnotes of other articles, you'll note that they're usually done so that the reader can click directly on the name of the source to get to the external link.
For example:
- Kirby Lee Davis, "These Walls: Spavinaw watershed in Tulsa", The Journal Record (Oklahoma City), July 24, 2009.
rather than
- Davis, Kirby Lee. The Journal Record (Oklahoma City). "These Walls: Spavinaw watershed in Tulsa" July 24, 2009.[1]
This also has the benefit the double numbering of the footnotes (one at the beginning, one at the end, sometimes with different numbers), which some readers may find distracting. I don't think there's any rule that requires one of the other, just something to consider. You might also want to look at the footnote generator available at http://toolserver.org/~magnus/makeref.php There's no rule that you have to use the templates generated by that engine (and I personally find them a bit annoying at times), but many experienced editors do use them and find them helpful.
Again, great work. Best, --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:10, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Deletion of user subpages
Hiyas there Bruin2!
I just removed the User talk:Bruin2/William G. Skelly page you marked for removal. If you need more userpage deletions, it may be more convenient to tag them with the {{db-u1}} template. This will place the article in the relevant deletion categories so that it can easily be spotted by people currently doing cleanups. The template equally saves you the hassle of having to type an explanation along with the helpme template(helpme based deletion request are fine as well, but the DB template is likely more convenient). Just to let you know :). Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 17:54, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

City articles
I notice you are working on the county articles and thought I would offer an idea. Instead of listing the cities, it seems like the preference in terms of how they are treated in GA and FA articles is paragraph form with a bit more detail under a subsection entitled Communities under Geography. What do you think of trying to do this in the county articles? I have done it for one or two, but thought I would seek your input before going further. Okheric (talk) 15:42, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for soliciting my input on your suggestion. I see no downside to listing communities contained by the county under the Geography section. I have some reservations about the paragraph format, since many counties have quite a few communities. I do favor subdividing the community list into Cities and towns; Unincorporated communities; Census designated places and Ghost towns or former communities. See Cherokee County, Oklahoma for example. You said that you had tried the paragraph form for a few counties, so could you send me a link for these. I want to be sure I understand what you are recommending. Cheers.

DYK review
Aye Bruin2, thanks for your review of Template:Did you know nominations/1930 Graf Zeppelin stamps and your kind words about the article. Just thought I'd pass on some advice about reviewing. Instead of outlining all the various points, in full wording and in list form, you might want to summarize things a bit and just make the statement with a couple of sentences. e.g. Instead of saying:
- It was nominated within 5 days of completion;
- It exceeds the minimum 1500 characters length requirement.;
- The hook is short enough and meets formatting guidelines;
- etc...
You could have said:
Article is long enough, hook is interesting, short enough and sourced. Was expanded fivefold less than five days before nomination. No MOS issues, images all check out, no copyvios and no duplicate or disambig links. Good to go.
You also don't have to mention "neutral and does not comment negatively on living people" unless they are issues that need to be corrected. This is the way most reviewers do it, and it takes up much less space. That's my opinion anyway. Again, much thanks for your time and effort. GREATLY appreciated. All the best. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:27, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

DYK review
Hello, and thanks for reviewing Template:Did you know nominations/United States Custom House (San Ysidro, California). There may be a problem with your review, though: part of the review process is to approve the hook, especially to verify that the hook is cited in the article. You approved the nomination, but you also expressed some doubts about the hook: whether it was cited, or whether it was even true. I suspect they will raise questions about that when they come to move the DYK into the queue, because right now it is confusing. Could you please take a look at my comment at the nomination, and then either indicate that the hook is OK, or else change your review from "approval" to something less than approval - something that acknowledges you have questions about the hook? Thanks, and sorry to have to bother you about this! (P.S.

Hey.
Just wanted to see whether you would be interested in adopting the article Carolyn Mary Skelly, since, back in 2011, you created the article about her father William Skelly. Bobbykelleyfl, who is claiming to be her great great grandson, already created the article, and he has done a good job with it, but since there is a conflict of interest, I was wondering whether you'd be able to assist him. The article isn't bad as it is, just needs some minor fixes.
As someone who believes in being welcoming to new editors, I took it upon myself to message him regarding that, but it seems he's either too frustrated, or just giving up.
Thanks in advance.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hi! I am currently revamping the UCSF project. I created lots of pages and added a lot of content, but there is so much still to do. I saw that you are part of the SFBA task force, so I thought you might be interested and I wanted to invite you to collaborate once more. In particular, we need to add content, do maintenance, and we really would benefit from pictures, so if you are in SF and could help that would be great.

- Thank you for your message. Originally, I had submitted this article as a draft, but was notified that the reviewer considered the subject lacked notability. I then revised the draft in an effort to clarify why I thought the subject was sufficiently noteworthy to appear in Wikipedia. I resubmitted my revised version in January 2017, expecting it would either be approved and moved to the mainspace, or else I would learn specifically what criteria the reviewer used to make his/her ruling. However, I have heard nothing since.
- I still believe the article is appropriate for Wikipedia, even if the subject may be useful and interesting to a limited subset of readers. (Dr. McBride made major contributions to the modern education of engineers.) I still believe it is worthy of publication on Wikipedia. Do you recommend that I retrieve it from the Draft space and go ahead with posting it on mainspace? I see no value leaving it in draftspace. Thanks for your help.

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:53, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest
US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions |

Bruin2, you created this DYK nomination back on October 26, but never transcluded it. I've only just noticed this today, two months later.
What would you like to do? We can still transclude and process the nomination, even at this late date. If so, you will need to provide a QPQ review, since you have more than five prior DYK credits. If you prefer, we can close the nomination; it's up to you.
Please let me know as soon as possible your plans for this; I'd like to proceed one way or the other before the end of the year. Many thanks, and I hope you're having a happy holiday season. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:15, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- Happy holidays, Blue Moonset
- Thanks so much for this reminder. I had wondered why my DYK nomination had disappeared from the list, after I had received an acceptance for the main article. Now, I realize that my attempt needed a QPQ, which I have not done. I definitely wish to move the Tulsa Club Building DYK nomination forward. Thanks for your assurance that this is still possible. This is now my first priority - superseding some other articles that I have been working on in the meantime. I will try to post something before New Year's Day, 2019. Sorry about my failure to realize that I needed to generate a new QPQ. Bruin2 (talk) 01:12, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- Bruin2, I was happy to rescue you this, given your assurance that you would give it your first priority. It has already been reviewed, yet you haven't responded even though it has been over seven days, the typical time period expected for such responses. Given the original delay—this is from October—it will need prompt attention if you wish to pursue the nomination. I hope you will be able to give it your attention very soon.

DYK for Tulsa Club Building
On 6 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tulsa Club Building, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Tulsa Club Building suffered four major fires in 2010, including three in a two-week period, yet remained strong enough to allow conversion to a hotel instead of demolition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tulsa Club Building. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Tulsa Club Building), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

On 12 March 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Leon B. Senter, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that as the first licensed architect in Oklahoma, Leon B. Senter held "License Number 1" for forty years, from 1925 until his death? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Leon B. Senter. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Leon B. Senter), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

]- Hello, Bruin2,

::Thanks for your speedy attention to my recent article C. I. Pontius and the start of a DYK for the same article. After reading your comments here, I can see that I did not adequately explain why I believe the subject is worth some additional work. I would much prefer reverting it to User:Draft status, rather than deleting it. That has already been done for the related DYK.
- The subject of the article, President Pontius, played a very significant role in the history of Tulsa University and the city businessman in which it was located. Thus, I believe it meets the criterion for notability. At the time he accepted the position, most well-regarded colleges and universities in the country believed that the top executive should have at least a doctoral degree in some academic field. But, the Great Depression was in full swing nationwide, as well as in Tulsa, and the TU trustees were concerned that the school could fail, as many other such institutions already had. They believed that the head of the school needed the skills and knowledge of an astute business executive to prevent a financial collapse, and that this was more important than diplomas to save the school. Hence, they selected Pontius as the new chief executive. Their choice proved to be successful. Not only did he raise large amounts of money from new donors, he corrected some organizational problems that many academic leaders had overlooked, and that kept TU on a sound financial footing for many succeeding administrations. He won the confidence of faculty, students, and other community leaders. He is remembered even now as TU's longest-serving leader. I am convinced that his biography belongs on Wikipedia.Bruin2 (talk) 18:04, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Sit-in protests at John A. Brown Department Store in OKC
The John A. Brown Department store in OKC was the site of a historic sit-in protest of segregation led by Clara Luper and the OKC chapter of the NAACP Youth.
This should be added to that page. Many primary and secondary sources attest to this, including Clara Luper's memoir, Behold the Walls.

Quick question, advice on an article you've worked on
Hi, I'd like to add some more details about Mathias Splitlog but I think doing so on the Splitlog Church article makes that article too much about other things besides the church. In your opinion, would be best to create a new Mathias Splitlog article (I don't have permissions to do that directly), or split the Splitlog Church article (there seems to be a big backlog for approvals), or something else altogether?
