Notability
In general, local politicians and officials are not notable: politicians are generally eligible if they've been elected to statewide office. A county Commonwealth's Attorney, of any gender, is unlikely to be notable enough for inclusion unless they have a very high profile in national media. See

The Lynchings of the Frenches of Warsaw

Fixing it now. :) Sarahrosemc (talk) 19:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
Hey, you already fixed it. Thanks a bunch!!! Sarahrosemc (talk) 19:29, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
- It's not a big deal. It's just more obvious what's being cited (and shorter for you to create). In this case instead of having a very lengthy list of references it turns out the article is actually not that well sourced. Three of the refs are to local articles from around the time of the lynching (and so are not really independent sources), a fourth is a book (I don't have access to it, but it probably quotes the same newspaper articles), a fifth is nothing but pictures of steamboats (it does not support anything in the article so I will remove it), and the sixth is a personal comment by the creator of the same web site where you found all of the other refs except the book. Meters (talk) 19:33, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
I appreciate it. I wasn't trying to make the reference list look that impressive. Just wanted to cover myself, and not say anything that wasn't printed before, while also, putting it into my own words, so it's not plagiarized. I worked really hard on it. I have other books, and will add more sources in the future, but those books are buried underneath a bunch of other junk, so as of now, I'm taking a break on it. Plus, it's 1876. I'm not sure what sources you'd find acceptable, to make it qualify as "well sourced". There's certainly no videotape. First person sources... Private diaries, oral histories... that's been typed up, and put into a book? I won't find any of those. Being that it's 1876, I'm happy that there were any articles written about it, let alone 3 or 4. Just go back 100 years, and you won't find a single article written about anything in Kentucky. (The first settlement was founded in 1774). So, any suggestions would be helpful, because I believe if there were those sources, I'd add those, to make it better.
Again. Thank you. Sarahrosemc (talk) 19:55, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
- It would be a bit weak for coverage of a modern event, but given the era, it's fine. An interesting read, and nice work. Thanks. Meters (talk) 16:45, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!
The Bluegrass Barnstar | ||
For jumping in with both feet in creating referenced articles about events in Kentucky history, I give you this barnstar, and my thanks. Don't let a few deletion discussions get you down. It's been my experience that lots of people – including me – get their first few articles AfD'd; sometimes they even survive that! Anyway, welcome to the project from a fellow editor interested in Kentucky! Acdixon (talk · contribs) 13:29, 23 September 2014 (UTC) |
Thank you Acdixon. Sarahrosemc (talk) 13:04, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marco Allen Chapman, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Charles Moore, District Judge and John Delaney. 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.

Lynching articles
Leave the articles and redirects alone. I had an admin check my work and he agreed that what I had was right. I put a lot of time into fixing your mess, and I do not want to have to go through this again. Meters (talk) 09:38, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
I was complying with what you wanted, I thought. I won't touch any of it anymore. Sarahrosemc (talk) 09:43, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- I understand that it is confusing you, but you are doing the wrong thing. You cannot move the article when there is an AFD under the original name, or you risk doing creating the same mess as before. You had 2 simultaneous AFDs on the same article, and neither one was at the title you are trying to move everything to. And if you cut and past the article we lose the edit history. Don't ever move an article that way. Just stop and wait for an admin to delete what needs to be deleted. Once the AFD is closed we can move the article to the correct name. Your actions are disruptive. Meters (talk) 09:45, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
I understand. Thank you. Sarahrosemc (talk) 09:47, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
