==Speedy deletion of [[:Nothing: Something to Believe In]]==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|32px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Nothing: Something to Believe In]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A1|section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Nothing: Something to Believe In|the article's talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

This is an automated message from [[User:CorenSearchBot|CorenSearchBot]].  I have performed a web search with the contents of [[:Trigger Man (video game)]], and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: [[:Trigger Man]].  It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

==Fair use rationale for Image:BusterFinger.jpg==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to [[:Image:BusterFinger.jpg]]. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found  [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:BusterFinger.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.  Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

== Palin Section Under Church ==

I saw your question about why Palin mention was deleted from the Wasilla article.  She is mentioned under the notable residents section, and under the church section where she is listed as a former congregant. I think I understand the answer to your question re Palin on [[Wasilla]].  It is because she is not proved tied to any of the controversial church things, but I don't understand why the [[Wasilla Bible Church]] article was shut down, and the [[Wasilla Assembly of God]] was not, or why the difference between Palin's churches and Obama's that merits articles on the latter, but ot on the former. The thing making Wasilla Bible Church notble, and a permanent burn into the memories of everyone in SF and LA is- 
Per the Associated Press, et al, in 2008, the rural church announced that it would hold a convention to pray for God to convert gays into straights. Ref - http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jNQg39rgjbGe3663rXSnmIi4czCAD931F9180 /ref
* I will put this section on the talk page -
'''Wasilla Bible Church Praying for God to convert Gays into Heteros'''
:Others have told on other talk pages that this is not uncommon for many churches. But I could find no info on any who do so in Wiki articles.  I am from San Francisco, and I worked the soup kitchen at Glide Memorial Church every Sunday, but if such a prayer conference existed in the SF area, it would be the most heavily attended conference at any church, but not to do the prayers.  I also worked for years consulting folks in Statistics at Stanford’s Hoover Institute, which is as conservative as it gets, but anyone there would think I was joking if I said this.   
:*1. To make the assertion that this convention is not notable more objective.  Can anyone direct me to a Wiki article where such a practice is described as existing in America?  
:*2. Would the info go under the “Community Services” in the Wasilla Assembly of God church, not [[Wasilla Bible Church]] under Wasilla? 
* Also, I will put this  -
'''Was your info on Wasilla Bible Church deleted?''
If anyone is getting their edits deleted since the Wasilla article is not the place for Wasilla Bible Church details, like are growing on the Wasilla Bible ChurchPlease don’t get into a war deleting and undeleting things.  Remember, everyone is assumed to be editing in good faith.
:Please put your info and references in this talk page section.
I am completely new to Wikipedia, so if you can help me understand how things work, please do.  [[User:EricDiesel|EricDiesel]] ([[User talk:EricDiesel|talk]]) 21:15, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

==Notability of [[:Jessica "Sugar" Kiper]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]<!-- use [[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] for YELLOW flag --> A tag has been placed on [[:Jessica "Sugar" Kiper]] requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the [[WP:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]].

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article ('''just below''' the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Jessica "Sugar" Kiper|the article's talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You forgot to state what the problem was in the article. You did not clarify what your dispute was. I can not change it if I do not know why you dispute and what part is a problem with you.

== Deletion of John Milton Cooper article? ==

:I already did a couple of fixes before I realized the extent of the issue. At least the [[Woodrow Wilson]] and [[William Howard Taft]] articles, maybe one other I don't recall. Generally, the "piped link" method I used would be preferable to creating redirect pages for all conceivable variations of the name (just a helpful hint). Of course, if the article should be renamed John Milton Cooper, Jr., or even just John M. Cooper, Jr., that's a separate issue, but the preference on how to link to the eventual article name holds. My understanding of WP naming policy is to use the shortest commonly recognized name that won't be considered ambiguous (e.g. if Cooper, Sr. was not notable enough for an article, the Jr. wouldn't be required), but I'm not exactly an expert on Wiki rules and policies so that may be wrong.

== Bilateral relations articles ==
Hi. I notice that you have been creating articles on relations between pairs of countries. I don't know if you are aware of it, but a year or two ago there was a considerable row about these articles: some people set out, in effect, to create them for all possible combinations, others felt that stubs saying no more than "X-Y relations are relations between X and Y" were pointless, especially in the more extreme cases, and would be better merged to "Diplomatic relations of X" articles. There were many hotly-disputed AfDs where the same arguments were endlessly rehashed. In the end, a task force, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject International relations/Bilateral relations task force]] was set up, to try to thrash out agreed standards. I wasn't much involved, and I don't know what the eventual conclusion was, but the row died down, so I presume some compromise was agreed. Before creating many of these articles, you might like to check out that task force, read its talk page and maybe talk to some of its members.

== Possible C-SPAN project ==

Hello KConWiki, pleased to finally make your acquaintance—I've been aware of your work on the ''Booknotes'' lists for some time. Great work, and congratulations for completing (I think) such a big project. You might recognize my handle, too. Since about this time last year I've researched and rewritten most of the other [[C-SPAN]] articles, including the main ''[[Booknotes]]'' article (and I'm grateful you've adapted some of it for the list pages). 

I actually come to you today with an idea for a collaboration, if you are willing and have the time. As you are likely aware, the [[C-SPAN Video Library]] has a [http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibrary/ vast archive] of historically significant videos related to U.S. politics, available free on the web. Because C-SPAN is actually a client of mine (although I was a fan long before they ever were) I'm reluctant to just start posting them to [[WP:EL|External links]] sections of relevant articles; the last thing I want, or C-SPAN wants, is to engage in [[WP:SPAM|link-spamming]]. And yet, I do think a great many of these videos would be useful resources for a great many topics. 

For that reason, I wonder if you would be interested in helping me; either reviewing links I suggest and posting them if appropriate, or giving me your independent opinion about their suitability for inclusion. If so, I could create a project page and begin making recommendations. If you're too busy or not interested, that's fine, too. But I thought this might be something you'd be interested in. Cheers, [[User:WWB Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB Too|talk]]) 15:52, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

:Hi - Thanks for the kind words. I think that a C-Span project page of the sort you describe (with the cautions that you mention) sounds great. I'm not sure how much I can commit to of the top of my head, but I'd be happy to see what you have in mind. I'm sure other people would be interested as well.

:As for the Booknotes lists, I still have to go through and fix the links for 1992 and forward (catching up from when they changed the Booknotes website). Then, I want to visit each of the pages for the books with articles, the authors with articles, and maybe a few of the topics, and either add a transcript/video link, or else correct them if they have one of the old links. 

:[[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 00:37, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

::OK, it's a plan. I certainly understand your time is limited, and there is no urgency on my end. I will also bring it to the attention of editors involved with relevant WikiProjects. Before I do, sometime over the next few days I'll set up a project page in my user space,  add a list of the first few video links I have in mind, and on which articles I think they'd be most helpful. Once I've done that, I'll let you know.

::And I may be telling you something you already know, but all past ''Booknotes'' episodes are archived at the [http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibrary/ Video Library] site. Look to the console below the featured video and there's a drop-down menu to the right called "All Categories". ''Booknotes'' is one of the options. (And of course you can find episodes via the search bar as well). Cheers, [[User:WWB Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB Too|talk]]) 13:15, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

== C-SPAN progress ==

Hi there, KConWiki. Some progress to report on the C-SPAN Video Library project. I've obtained from C-SPAN a list of the 500 individuals who, as of last week, have appeared on C-SPAN the most over time. (#1 [[Bill Clinton]] ... #500 [[Jim Talent]]) and I've been comparing this list against Wikipedia articles to see whether the notable names among them (a significant majority) have C-SPAN links included in their ELs (still a majority, but some surprising gaps). 

I've also found that a few Wikipedia templates already include C-SPAN as a parameter, significantly [[Template:CongLinks]] and [[Template:C-SPAN]]. In order to make it as easy as possible for others to help out, I've prepared the specific markup for each, and started a table, which will grow as I work through the list. You can find it here: [[User:WWB_Too/C-SPAN_ELs]]

If you're interested in adding some, please feel free, and I'll keep adding to the list. Meanwhile, I'll notify relevant WikiProjects. And if you have any other suggestions, I'd be very appreciative. Cheers, [[User:WWB Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB Too|talk]]) 13:47, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

:''I've obtained from C-SPAN a list of the 500 individuals who, as of last week, have appeared on C-SPAN the most over time. (#1 [[Bill Clinton]] ... #500 [[Jim Talent]])'' - This sounds great, sign me up for 100 or so and I will review them.

:In other news, I am pretty sure I have fixed all the Booknotes links from when they changed Booknotes.org around. I am currently adding in subjects on the Booknotes-by-year pages (working on 1992 now). [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 01:08, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

::Very cool. I have posted just the first 10 so far, but I'm working on posting the rest to the project page over the next few weeks. And just a few minutes ago now I've posted an invitation to editors on various WikiProjects: Media, Politics, Journalism and Television to see if anyone there is interested. Should be interesting. Meanwhile, if you'd like any help with the Booknotes pages, let me know if there's anything specific you could use help with. I'd be happy to return the favor.

::Hello TFS, and happy holidays. Thanks for your comment, and I want to be sensitive to this question. I don't want to give the appearance of spamming, but almost by definition, "spam" implies something junky or unwarranted or that makes use of the least common denominator. I think that this is not the case for the vast majority of the links I am adding. I would like to complete this project, and then the community can trim as needed. If I thought that even only 50% of the links would be ultimately appropriate for the articles about these authors and/or books and/or specialized topics, then I would not be trying to be as thorough as I am. I genuinely believe, however, that after it all works itself out, that maybe only 5-10% of the links I have added will be found to be questionable. (And when I say "questionable", I mean just that - that some people will feel strongly that they should be zapped, and some will feel strongly that they be kept.) But as noted before, I invite discussion on this matter, and I invite interested parties to watch one or two of the interviews for further context. THanks.

(WWB Too has indicated on numerous occasions in this discussion that he was, which is fine.) The reason I love Booknotes (and C-SPAN in general) is the same reason that I love Wikipedia - That they are both unique and fantastic ways to freely communicate vast amounts of ideas and information to a wide audience of specialists and interested amateurs, and everyone in bewteen. While I will concede that the Wiki article for Einstein (or Churchill, or Jefferson, or Hitler, or FDR, or Stalin, or certain others) might be of such breadth that an argument could be made (though it would not be a one-sided argument) that individual Booknotes links are not appropriate for those pages, that same argument would weaken '''significantly''' if made about the use of Booknotes links on the pages for [[T.R.

Hey, thanks for the heads-up on that. I find DVdm's perspective to be rather strange and, frankly, disconcerting. As you'll see, I've addressed what seem to me like rather significant misinterpretations of specific parts of [[WP:ELNO]], and I'll keep an eye on it. By the way, funny coincidence: just today I've got 'round to posting the [[User:WWB_Too/C-SPAN_ELs|"complete" list of missing C-SPAN ELs]] from biographical articles. I'd love to get your assistance with those as well, but maybe you should hold off for the moment: I've got a mind to see if I can offer up some C-SPAN swag in return for assistance, perhaps using [[WP:REWARD]] as a launch point.

::::::KConWiki, I'd like to comment on that 90+% thing. You seem to put the burden of checking 100% and removal of 10-% of your external links avalanche upon other editors. For instance, take the Penicillin article. Don't you think it would have been fair to the community if you had gone ''all the way'', by being more careful and ''not'' adding it to that page? A similar thing happened with the Einstein article, where we had to remove the link ''twice''.

As mentioned elsewhere, I did not add them to subject pages that in ''my'' opinion were too general. That being said, I realize that there is room for disagreement. If the consensus on the Einstein or Penicillin articles is that the links do not belong, then OK, no big deal. But there are now hundreds of links to hundreds of hours of serious discussion on article topics (often with authors who are themselves the subjects of wiki articles) that are linked to from pertinent articles.

Hi again, KConWiki. I've been pretty busy over the past week, but I'd like to be helpful regarding the inclusion of relevant [[Booknotes]] links in [[WP:EL]]s where they belong, so if you could share an update and let me know where I can offer meaningful input, please let me know. One thought on the controversy: I suppose I could see where not ''every'' link works, so perhaps a useful [[heuristic]] could be proposed to find compromise and ensure that the best, most relevant Booknotes ELs are accepted. What that might look like, I am not sure, but if there is a way to show the additions are not merely "systematic"—let alone "robotic"—please let me know if I can help.

:Hi WWB2 - I am pretty much done with adding the Booknotes links. There are some links to BOoknotes.org in existing citations that I have come across that I identified as being dead links (they changed their web addresses a while ago) so I was going to go back and try to clean up some of those so that the citation links are valid. There are some other C-SPAN related items I would like to work on too, but I am going to take a break for a little bit.

Well done for your blitz on [[:Category:Stubs]]! I've finished the job, so the category is empty for the first time since the December stub-creation-fest. I've found it pretty dispiriting looking at the category recently as there were so many dreadfully poor stubs and I find I can't just stub-sort and move on but feel the need to improve them too. But I kept picking out interesting-looking ones (eg ones which clearly needed a DEFAULTSORT, or with a disambiguation to check whether they were accessible from the base name), and started cleaning them up from Z backwards recently.

I see you've had another blitz: I'd become dispirited by that mass of boring little stubs, which I think are actually positively unhelpful because they provide less information than the county listings of NRHP sites!  But don't forget that we ought to add as specific a stub or stubs as we can: the few that I did of that batch (working up from the end of the alphabet), I added {{tl|Idaho-NRHP-stub}} as well as {{tl|Idaho-struct-stub}}. 

I also tend to add other things I notice while I'm on the page - in these cases {{tl|unref}} at the top, and <nowiki>{{coord missing|Idaho}}</nowiki>, and ", United States," to give geographical context in the lead sentence.

There were such a batch of these that I was wondering if I could do something with AWB to work through them all. Meanwhile I just picked out the other stubs to stub-sort etc today. So thanks for disposing of all those Idaho NRHP stubs, but do remember to look out for specific relevant stub tags, especially if there's a batch of stubs with a lot in common like that lot.

== Consider yourself awarded ==

[[File:C-SPAN user award.png|125px|right|C-SPAN user award]]Hello, KConWiki. First thing, on behalf of C-SPAN, please accept this barnstar-inspired award I've created as of today. Thanks for your contributions related to C-SPAN, and I look forward to seeing your work in the future.

Second, you might be interested in a [[Wikipedia:Reward_board#Add_C-SPAN_Video_Library_to_External_links|project I've just posted on the Reward Board]]: the [[User:WWB_Too/C-SPAN_ELs|C-SPAN linking project]] I first [[User_talk:KConWiki#Possible_C-SPAN_project|mentioned to you]] last fall. Since then I've reconceived it sightly. In its current design, I'm looking for editor assistance adding ''External links'' already suggested by the <nowiki>{{C-SPAN}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{CongLinks}}</nowiki> templates. Rewards include the attached award—of which you're the first recipient—and C-SPAN hats, available to participants with a U.S. address. 

Let me know if you have any thoughts on it, and I should have some feedback on your recent C-SPAN articles soon. Cheers, [[User:WWB Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB Too|talk]]) 19:43, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, KConWiki. I mentioned to you a few weeks back that I was working on some additional C-SPAN articles, including a proposed expansion of the [[Brian Lamb]] article. I recently posted a request at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cooperation/Paid_Editor_Help#Brian_Lamb|Paid Editor Help]] page of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cooperation|WikiProject Cooperation]] (and on Lamb's article) and was starting to get somewhere before two participating editors disagreed on the merits of my draft, and now it's ground to a halt.

== Feedback on Lincoln-Douglas debate reenactments ==

Hi there, I wanted to share back that I shared your new articles with C-SPAN as promised. Overall, a very positive response. Great work. There is one thing they did point out to me, about [[The Lincoln-Douglas Debates (1994 reenactments)]]: in the first sentence, your version says they were "sponsored" by C-SPAN, but they've advised me this is not so. C-SPAN encouraged the cities involved to hold the debates, promising to air them, but did not produce the debates. I do have a source to verify this, but it's not available (for free) online. Via Lexis-Nexis, I found a February 28, 1994 ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' article, by Doug Pokorski, titled ''[http://w3.nexis.com/new/docview/getDocForCuiReq?lni=3TYV-VNC0-006K-W06C&csi=11810&oc=00240&perma=true Debates 'Lincoln, Douglas' Set for Cable TV]'':

:"The local communities are in charge of producing the debates," [C-SPAN spokeswoman Rayne] Pollack said. "We're not setting up our own event and then covering it. All we have asked for is that they use the most complete transcript and perform it in its entirety. Our goal is for it to appear as if C-SPAN was actually there in 1858."
 
If you're OK following a (sort of) offline source, I'd suggest "encouraged" would be a more accurate phrasing. What do you think? 

Also, one more thought, entirely my own: should the article title include the definite article? I realize the book inspiring the series uses it, though based on my own perusal of C-SPAN's Video Library [http://www.c-span.org/Events/Lincoln-Douglas-Debate-Reenactment/10737423561/ here, for instance] it seems they do not. Cheers, [[User:WWB Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB Too|talk]]) 13:35, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

:OK - I got rid of the word "sponsored' from the opening sentence. I suppose I used that word in an inexact sense; "encouraged" or maybe "facilitated" might have been better words. But I am just omitting it without replacement, at least for the time being. I have [http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1994-08-20/features/1994232090_1_lincoln-douglas-debates-c-span-debates-history an article from the Baltimore Sun] that says something similar: "Spurred on by its own 15th anniversary, C-Span officials approached the mayors of all seven cities last year. Re-create your debates, they said, using local talent and local money, and we'll come in and broadcast them, as though we'd been there in 1858... ...All seven mayors agreed, the state of Illinois chipped in $20,000 for each site and C-Span spent $300,000 to $500,000 promoting the debates, providing staff people to coordinate the coverage and putting together educational materials. The Lincoln-Douglas debates were on their way back to center stage." [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 02:36, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

:As for the "The", I don't know if there is a right answer or not, and if we have just established that C-SPAN did not sponsor the event, then the exact usage in the Video Archive site's  segment titles would not be authoritative. Not only that, but check out [http://www.abrahamlincolnperformance.com/debate_files/CSpan02.jpg this poster] for a leading article. I think I am going to wait for someone with a stronger opinion on the matter than I have to come along and address this. [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 02:43, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

::Apologies for the slow reply here: looks fine now with "sponsored" removed; one of your replacement words I think would be a lot better. Regarding "The" you raise a fair point; this may be one of those situations where a definitive title was never properly settled, in which case what you have is fine. By the way, have you had a chance to look at my [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cooperation/Paid_Editor_Help#Brian_Lamb|new Brian Lamb draft]], mentioned above? I'm looking for a clearer expression of consensus to move it; I thought we were getting close, and then conversation just slowed. Hope you can find a moment to weigh in. Cheers, [[User:WWB Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB Too|talk]]) 14:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

:::Oh wait, never mind! The Brian Lamb article was in fact moved overnight, and I'd just failed to notice. I've actually got a draft for one more C-SPAN person in the wings, [[Robert X. Browning|Robert X Browning]], but I'll only check back if I get stuck there, too. Cheers, [[User:WWB Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB Too|talk]]) 14:27, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

::::Sorry I didn't comment on your Lamb article sooner, I think it looks real good. Let me know if you need anything about the Browning one too, but I have kind of come to the realization that I would rather (and this is just me, you know) work first on building pages for their shows and specials (and I am trying to think how best to do one for the School Bus(es)) and also on adding SPAN links to the pages for the authors/books/sites/topics seen in their programming before turning to the pages for the individuals associated with C-SPAN. This is despite the fact that Lamb is one of my all-time heroes. Like, I am sure that [[Susan Swain]] deserves a page (or to put it better, Wikipedia deserves to have a page about her) but I am not putting that at the top of my to-do list; Partly because the Spanners like to keep (as you know) a low-profile in terms of not promoting their own selves on air. That being said, I am sure that [[Susan Swain]], [[Rob Kennedy]], and others ought to one day have their own pages.

== Piping category listings ==

KConWiki -- I've seen you've piped numerous categories. For the life of me, I can't figure out what the piped names do. They show up on the page under the original name and link to the original categories. (E.g., I don't see any differences at all.) Can you enlighten me please? Thanks.--[[User:Srich32977|S. Rich]] ([[User talk:Srich32977|talk]]) 03:45, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
:Sure - They make them alpha-sort to the piped phrase in the given category. This is handy if you have one article with several categories, and you don't want it to alpha-sort the same way for each of them. For instance, I just got done adding some categories to articles about the histories of different universities. In the example (below) of [[History of Texas Tech University]], I added the category [[:History of Texas]] and piped it to alpha sort under "T". This is appropriate in that category because otherwise you could conceivably have a dozen Texas-related articles that start with the word "History" that would clog up the "H" section of that category listing. Same goes for the category [[:Category:History of United States colleges and universities]], because practically every article in the category would sort under "H". However, in the category [[:Category:Texas Tech University]], it is appropriate to allow it to sort to the "H" section, because "History of" is the aspect of Texas Tech that the article is about.

<nowiki>[[Category:Texas Tech University]]</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>[[Category:History of United States colleges and universities|Texas Tech University]]</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>[[Category:History of Texas|Texas Tech University]]</nowiki>

Let me know if I can comment further.

== Bringing C-SPAN up-to-date ==

Hi there, KConWiki. I hope you've been well—it's been awhile! Earlier this week I proposed some updates to the main [[C-SPAN]] article, and since I want to be careful about COI, I'm wondering if you're willing to make the changes. Principally, the article has not yet been updated to reflect that Brian Lamb stepped down from the CEO position. If you have a few minutes to review [[Talk:C-SPAN|my request on the C-SPAN Talk page]] I'd be very appreciative. The changes are very simple but, same as before, C-SPAN is a client so I won't be making any edits myself. Cheers, [[User:WWB_Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB_Too|Talk]] &middot; [[User:WWB_Too|COI]]) 14:38, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
:Hi again, you seem to be busy with other things, but I wanted to let you know that a) another editor already followed up this request, and b) I have a couple of [[Talk:C-SPAN|additional suggestions]]. One involves the notion of creating a '''[[List of C-SPAN programs]]''' article. Would love to have your input there, if you're so inclined.

== WikiProject C-SPAN + more ==

Hi there, KConWiki, thanks for the note on my page about your wikiproject idea. Assuming you find critical mass to start one, I'd be happy to serve as a liaison to C-SPAN. Another editor you should check in with is [[User:Smallbones]]; I've helped him find C-SPAN videos on arts-related subjects for inclusion in articles recently. Anything I could do to help right now?

Meanwhile, I've posted some update requests today, including one on the [[C-SPAN Bus program]] article ([[Talk:C-SPAN_Bus_program#Local_Content_Vehicles_update|request here]]), and again on the flagship [[C-SPAN]] page ([[Talk:C-SPAN#Small_update|request here]]). As usual, I avoid direct-editing pages where I have a financial relationship, so let me know if you can take a look.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:One True Vine]]==

A tag has been placed on [[:One True Vine]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A9|section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (music)|notability guideline for music]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:One True Vine|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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

== Category intersection ==
Is getting better. Magnus Manske (developer) has developed a super-fast category intersection, and a javascript that will bring it into a wikipedia page. If you want to try it out, add the following line to your [[Special:Mypage/common.js|common.js page]]:
<code>importScript('User:Obiwankenobi/intercat.js');</code>

Then restart your browser, and visit [[:Category:Wikipedia_categorization_intersect_test]]. You can click on the intersects up top, and it will display all articles that meet the criteria (e.g. American novelists who are LGBT and African American or whatever). This is still very early prototype stage, but since you were interested I wanted to share and get your feedback. --[[User:Obiwankenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] ([[User talk:Obiwankenobi|talk]]) 02:22, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

:Well, thanks for thinking of me. I checked it out a little bit and I think you should show it around to others for comment as well. Using an example I had given previously, I went [http://tools.wmflabs.org/catscan2/quick_intersection.php here] and was trying to get the intersect of [[:Category:People from Virginia]] and [[:Category:Presidents of the United States]], but no luck. Are those categories too far removed from the articles? (i.e., [[Thomas Jefferson]] is a member of [[:Category:People from Albemarle County, Virginia]], rather than [[:Category:People from Virginia]].) [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 04:10, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

::Tried it again with [[:Category:Presidents of the United States]] and [[:Category:United States Secretaries of State]], still no luck. Am I doing something wrong? (Or had you only intended to test the writers categories?) [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 04:18, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
:::Like [http://tools.wmflabs.org/catscan2/quick_intersection.php?lang=en&project=wikipedia&cats=Presidents+of+the+United+States%0D%0AUnited+States+Secretaries+of+State&ns=0&depth=12&max=30000&start=0&format=html&callback= this]? Beware, when you do intersections, you sometimes get odd results. For example, when I was testing it, there were a bunch of black authors showing up as jewish novelists, and i couldn't figure out why. It was because the Guggenheims were under {{cl|American Jews}}, and guggehheim fellows were under Guggenheim, so anyone who won a Guggenheim fellowship now became a jewish novelist.--[[User:Obiwankenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] ([[User talk:Obiwankenobi|talk]]) 04:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
::::that category is weird. For example, under {{cl|George W. Bush}}, you have {{cl|Iraq_War_casualities}}, so if there was some soldier from Virginia, he would appear to be a president from Virginia. When we use category intersection, we need to understand what is in the categories - and in the case of presidents, things that happened DURING their presidency are listed there. One way to limit this is to scope the recursion so it doesn't search deeper than 1 level for the presidents cat, for example.--[[User:Obiwankenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] ([[User talk:Obiwankenobi|talk]]) 04:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

== ''C-SPAN'' at FAC ==

Hi KConWiki, I hope all is well. It's been awhile since I've posted a message with you, and somewhat longer still since you'd replied to one, so perhaps your interest in C-SPAN has waned, but I still wanted to let you know that I've submitted the '''[[C-SPAN]]''' article for review at [[WP:FAC]]. If you'd like to review the article and contribute to the discussion you'll find it on the FAC page [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#C-SPAN|here]]. Cheers, [[User:WWB_Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB_Too|Talk]] &middot; [[User:WWB_Too|COI]]) 20:48, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

:Hello - I'm sorry for not responding promptly, and my interest in C-SPAN's presence in WP certainly has not waned. I have been keeping an eye on the CSPAN Good Article / FAC activity, and I am quite appreciative of the work that went into it, and I definitely hope that it will be a successful candidate to be a featured article. I will take a look at the FAC page and see if there is anything that I can contribute. (Or if there is anything more I can contribute to the article itself.) The reason that I didn't jump on this is that I tend to make a lot of incremental edits to various types of articles, and I often go off on whatever tangent I find myself going on. Believe it or not, many of the tangents are shaped by aspects of my C-SPAN viewing over the years. For instance, one of the things I have been working on is creating links within the bibliographies of individual articles for authors whose works have been cited in the creation of those articles, and many of the authors whom I link are people whom I have become familiar with through C-SPAN viewing. For instance, I first became familiar with [[Stephen B. Oates]] from the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, Booknotes, and other Lincoln and Civil War programming on C-SPAN in the 90s, and recently I went through and made a bunch of links like [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Clara_Barton&diff=prev&oldid=570477285 this one] to connect his article with those of some of the topics that he wrote about. I often do that rather than go after the big fish. However, as I said, it would obviously be an event of some significance to get the main C-SPAN article into Featured Article Status, so I will take a look and see what I can contribute. Thanks [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 23:44, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

::OK - I've made a number of edits to the article, and left a couple of questions/comments on the FAC page. I have a few more things I want to poke around with about this in the next few days. Thanks [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 05:09, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

== Recent edits to '''[[Brian Lamb]]''' ==

Hi KConWiki! I'm not sure if our paths have crossed before so I'd like to introduce myself: my name is Rhiannon and I work with [[User:WWB Too]]. I've been helping him out a bit with his work for C-SPAN and am hoping you might have the time to review a message I posted on the '''[[Brian Lamb]]''' Talk page. As WWB Too does, I also avoid direct edits, so I'm looking for an editor to take a look at a couple of issues and make what changes are needed. I'd hoped to follow up with a user who had helped me with some other edits to the page earlier this year ([[User:ProliferatingJade]]), however they have not been active on Wikipedia since April, so hopefully you don't mind me asking you instead.

My request addresses a couple of recent edits to Lamb's article. One edit added a very minor award Lamb received and is pretty clearly the work of an intern for the organization that gives the award. The second edit was a slight alteration to the introduction to refer to Lamb as a "businessman", which I don't feel is the most accurate way to introduce him.  I've explained these issues in more detail [[Talk:Brian_Lamb#Description_in_introduction|on the Talk page]]. If you have the time to look at this I'd really appreciate it.

== First Ladies ==

Great to see somebody else interested inFirst Ladies and C-SPAN in general.  I think I just got up to about Mrs. Quincy Adams, and then had to wait for more, so it's been mostly miss and hit since.  I will recommend that you use the external video link - which I think is about the only way to display a non-profit 1st rate external video on Wikipedia. 

If at all possible, please use the external video template:

<nowiki>{{external media | width = 210px | align = right

| headerimage=[[File:DolleyMadisonbyPeale.jpg|210px]] 

| video1 = [http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310726-1&showFullAbstract=1 First Lady Dolley Madison], [[C-SPAN|C&#8209;SPAN]]
<ref name="cspan a">{{cite web | title =First Lady Dolley Madison | work = | publisher =[[C-SPAN|C&#8209;SPAN]] | date =March 11, 2013 | url =http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310726-1&showFullAbstract=1 | accessdate =March 12, 2013 }}</ref> }}
</nowiki>


All you need to change is the headerimage, the link to the video (twice), title, (airing) date, and access date.

You do not need a header image (just leave it out) but there are usually many images available on Commons that are similar to those shown in the video. 
The reference is really needed only for the access date, and some people prefer to leave it out entirely.

This template should *not* be placed in the external links section according to [[WP:External links]], but rather where it best relates to the text.  That said some folks labor under the delusion that it must be under external links, so a video that is not specifically referred to in the text should probably be fairly low in the article.

Add as much as you want, I'll be busy with other things for at least a month.  [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]]<sub>([[User talk:Smallbones|<span style="color:#cc6600;">smalltalk</span>]])</sub> 20:40, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

== ''C-SPAN'' FAC archived ==

Hi KConWiki, I wanted to let you know that my submission at FAC has been archived. I believe you and I had resolved all of the comments you raised on the [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/C-SPAN/archive1|FAC Talk page]], but if you have any additional comments or concerns you'd like to address please feel free to share them. I've moved the outstanding parts of the FAC discussion over to the [[Talk:C-SPAN#Continuing_discussion_from_FAC|C-SPAN Talk page]] and hope to resolve these issues there as I plan to resubmit in a few weeks. If you have any additional comments please leave them at Talk:C-SPAN as well.

If you don't have any additional feedback to give, is it OK for me to reach out to you once I've resubmitted? Would you be willing to vote in favor of promoting the article then? Cheers, [[User:WWB_Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB_Too|Talk]] &middot; [[User:WWB_Too|COI]]) 22:28, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

== In tribute... ==

Great idea to focus on tribute album categorisation, it's long overdue. I'm still not sure of some of the albums '''are''' tribute albums or single composer collections...a distinction that seems far easier to make with albums of classical music, in my opinion. I'll let it slide, though, and follow your lead.  Keep up your great work. I've created a Gershwin category, btw. [[User:Gareth E Kegg|Gareth E Kegg]] ([[User talk:Gareth E Kegg|talk]]) 18:16, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

:Thanks for saying so - Gershwin was soon to come on my list. The whole thing is a work in progress, of course, and the "Tribute" label does have a nebulous aspect to it, but I am hoping to help interested readers find albums they are interested in more easily. LMK if any other comments or observations. [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 02:14, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest==

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/November 2013|November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest]], on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ([https://tools.wmflabs.org/dplbot/ch/dab_challenge.php see the project page for details on scoring points]). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely <i>nine</i> edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I <i>will</i> credit links fixed by turning a [[WP:DABCONCEPT]] page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/The Daily Disambig|Daily Disambig]], we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers!

== Help with Nicholas Basbanes page ==

Hi,

You suggested that I could come to you if I needed help. Well. I need it now.

I found this cool thing on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F42tcvvV_pA

A lecture -- "Nicholas Basbanes on the Strange and Fascinating History of People and Paper" posted by the Strand Bookstore in NY on November 14, 2013.

It's quite nice and might be helpful to people, but I don't know if something on dirty old Youtube is an okay thing to post.

Do you know?

Thanks.
[[User:Dnikkir|Dnikkir]] ([[User talk:Dnikkir|talk]]) 19:41, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

: Hi there - I watched just a minute of the YouTube clip (I will plan on watching the rest later) and it seems like it could be appropriate for inclusion in WP in one way or another. The fact that it was a talk given at the Strand, and that it is on the Strand's YouTube channel gives it some legitimacy. However - The [[Nicholas A. Basbanes#External links|External Links section(s]]) are pretty packed - They take up almost half the article. It might be better to trim some of those out, or incorporate them into other articles, either as external links or as references. Or, sometimes what I do on articles I am working on is start a section on the talk page where I just park links for potential future use. 
:
:I hate to do anything that would get rid of anything that added value to WP (I am an [[Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia|inclusionist]]) but at the same time We (I mean the collective "We" of WP editors) should be sensitive to guidelines at [[Wikipedia:External links]].
:
:I am heading out of town for the holidays soon, but when I return, I will try to see if I can help with some of that. In the meantime, I would say go ahead and add the link, just so as to not lose track of it. [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 14:44, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I'll post it now to save it. I appreciate your help.

== ''C-SPAN'' back at FAC ==

Hi KConWiki, I'm not sure how closely you've been watching the '''[[C-SPAN]]''' article but I was able to find help to make the last few minor updates to the page that I felt needed to be done before resubmitting to FAC.

If you're interested and available to give the article one final review, it would be greatly appreciated. If everything checks out, I hope you'll be able to voice your support for FA status. The discussion on the FAC page can be found [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#C-SPAN|here]].

::Well, shoot. The FAC was closed this morning due to inactivity; no big surprise, since the holidays and travel got in the way of my efforts to update the references. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the support, and I hope you'll be willing to lend your voice again in the future. If you'd even be willing to help me update the references once I've completely re-checked them, that would be awesome as well.

== Request for comment ==

As someone who has edited the article [[Asian American]] this year, I am seeking your input on a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asian_American#More_discussion_on_Epicanthal_Eyefolds proposed change] to remove a reference to epicanthic eyefolds.  This topic has prompted discussion in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asian_American/Archive_4#WP:Synthesis_is_not_applicable_to_the_lead 2009], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asian_American/Archive_5#Epicanthic_eyefolds_citation 2010] and most recently in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asian_American#The_.22epicanthic_eyefolds.22_again 2013].  

There's a fine line between being [[WP:BOLD]] and subverting [[WP:CONSENSUS]].  Given the history of this topic, I'm hoping that a robust discussion, for the record, would improve the article whether this reference stays or goes.

Hi, your wishlist has an item: "Wikipedia function to show which links in articles go to disambiguation pages so that they can be more easily cleaned up. Maybe have any link that goes to a page with a disambig tag of any sort be colored green, or something like that." There is a script that does exactly that: [[User:Anomie/linkclassifier|Linkclassifier]].

== Providing edit summaries ==

I have noticed that you often edit without an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. Please do your best to '''always fill in the summary field'''. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s).

== C-SPAN First Ladies: Influence & Image ==

Hi there, [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]]. I understand that you have been active on various Wikipedia articles regarding C-SPAN and created the entry for the network's ''[[First Ladies: Influence & Image]]'' series. First of all I'd like to introduce myself: I'm Jeremy Art, Digital & Social Media Specialist at C-SPAN. I've recently created an account here to post the occasional update and suggestion for C-SPAN related articles. I was hoping you could take a look at a message I posted on the ''First Ladies'' [[Talk:First Ladies: Influence & Image|Talk page]] about expanding that article. In short, I'm offering a draft that includes additional information on the show's background, production and other media for editors to review and use to develop the article. Would you be interested in looking it over?

Thanks!

A tag has been placed on [[:Sameh Zakout]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to be a clear [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.alsaz.net/about.php. 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 or other printed material as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image but have permission from that owner, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Sameh Zakout|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 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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> — [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 03:09, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello, KConWiki.  When you moved [[:Charlie Wilson's War]] to a new title and then changed the old title  into a [[WP:D|disambiguation]] page, you may not have been aware of [[WP:FIXDABLINKS]], which says:

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Charlie Wilson's War|contain links to "Charlie Wilson's War"]] and fix them to take readers to the correct article.

If we allow articles created by sockpuppets to survive, then we are allowing the sockpuppetteer to "win". I'd be happy to see the article re-created after deletion, with a clean edit history making no credit to a sock of the prolific Novonium. But my reading of G5 is that this one should go. There are no substantial edits by other editors - just attempts to clean up Novonium's horrible referencing style, and addition of categories etc. [[User:PamD|<span style="color: green">'''''Pam'''''</span>]][[User talk:PamD|<span style="color: brown">'''''D'''''</span>]] 08:19, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

==WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan==

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of '''WikiProject Wikify''' and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by [[WP:WikiProject Wikify|'''WikiProject Wikify''']] members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the [[Template:Underlinked|Underlinked Template Message]] - {{tl|underlinked}} - a list of which can be found [[:Category:All articles with too few wikilinks|'''here''']] - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have '''nothing to link''' or are have had wikilinks '''sufficiently added''' should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Participants|'''joining''']] if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

== Hello, from the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]]... ==

You are invited to '''''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project volunteers|join]]''''' the effort to revitalize and improve the [[Portal:Contents/Portals|Portal system]]...

The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] was rebooted on April 17th, and is going strong. Fifty-nine editors have joined so far, with more joining daily.

We're having a blast, and excitement is high...

Our goal is to update, upgrade, and maintain portals.

In addition to working directly on portals, we are developing tools to make portals more dynamic (self-updating), and to make building and maintaining portals easier. We've finished two tools so far, with more to come. They are [[Template:Transclude lead excerpt]] and [[Template:Transclude random excerpt]].

[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals|Discussions]] are underway about how to further upgrade portals, and what the portals of the future will be.

There are plenty of '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#New Project tasks|tasks]]''' (including WikiGnome tasks too).

With more to come.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,   <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 23:59, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

== Thank you very much ==

The [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals#RfC: Ending the system of portals|RfC discussion to eliminate portals]] was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-05-24/WikiProject report|the RfC and the Portals WikiProject]].

I'd also like to let you know that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain.  Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the [[WT:WPPORT|WikiProject's talk page]], or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project members|project's members]] receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Newsletter archive|here]], for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 23:21, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Jazz Record Mart 27 E. Illinois St. exterior.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:File:Jazz Record Mart 27 E. Illinois St. exterior.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text {{Tlx|Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:Jazz Record Mart 27 E. Illinois St. exterior.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].

== Template:The Smiths ==

You had included a trivial information in the template,[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template:The_Smiths&diff=prev&oldid=819774080] that is not a side-project of Marr or Morrissey.

==Landmark cases==
Do what you think is right, but the way its supposed to work is [[landmark cases]] should be either a high level article or a redirect to a high level article. Then [[Landmark Cases]] will either regard the capitalization as meaningful and different, or it will need to redirect similarly, with a disambiguation note at the top required. I would suggest that the capitalization isn't meaningful and should point to the disambiguation. -[[User:Inowen|Inowen]] ([[User talk:Inowen|nlfte]]) 02:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

:Hello, and thank you for the contributions you make to WP.

Hello, KConWiki. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:L King|L King]]". 

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:L King|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code. 

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

== Restoration of a page ==

In August you moved [[Jacob_G_Hornberger]] to [[Jacob_Hornberger]]. Then a bot came and deleted Jacob_G_Hornberger. Jacob_Hornberger is just a redirect to a page on a 2002 Senate election. How do we restore the original Jacob_G_Hornberger page? Google shows that the page used to have his bio information on the page. (do I simply click revert on your change?)  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rjedgar|Rjedgar]] ([[User talk:Rjedgar#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rjedgar|contribs]]) 15:47, 3 November 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: Hi - As you noted in your edit summary, there was an [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Hornberger|AFD discussion]] on this article (not a discussion I took part in, btw) and it got zapped. I am sure that I did some redirecting about the Hornberger article in conjunction with my side project to add C-SPAN appearances for everyone I can, and also to get different iterations of names of people pointing to the same article as each other.

== Robert Rubin ==

Hi KConWiki, a long, long time ago you reviewed some proposed changes when I was working with C-SPAN. Now I'm working with someone who once ''appeared on'' C-SPAN a lot, former U.S. Treasury Sec. [[Robert Rubin]]. His biographical page is missing a lot and could use an update, so I've prepared an [[User:WWB_Too/Robert_Rubin|alternate draft]] for consideration. What do you think, would you be interested to review proposed updates for this page if I made them? Cheers, [[User:WWB_Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB_Too|Talk]] &middot; [[User:WWB_Too|COI]]) 14:15, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

:Hi - I will see what I can do, but I cannot promise anything prompt. I see you have asked several others too, if any of them are able to get to it more promptly that I can, then they should feel free. [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 01:24, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

::It's true, I've been trying for about almost two months to get anyone to consider the issues I see with the article, but I haven't received any responses that would make me think others will take it up. When you have time, I think the last request about the [[Talk:Robert_Rubin#1993_Deficit_Reduction_Act|1993 Deficit Reduction Act]] is simple enough. It was important legislation at the time, Rubin played a key role in its passage, but it's not mentioned at all. And you don't have to use what I wrote word-for-word, but if you agree something about it should be included, use what you like. Cheers, [[User:WWB_Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB_Too|Talk]] &middot; [[User:WWB_Too|COI]]) 05:55, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

:::Hi again, checking in here to say: if you are still interested to review edit suggestions for the Rubin article, let me know if there's anything I can do to make it simpler for you to do so. If there's a format you like, or would prefer to review shorter vs. longer suggestions, I'd be happy to set it up how you like. And FWIW, I haven't had any further responses from other editors and I haven't asked anyone else for the time being, as I want to avoid the appearance of canvassing. Thanks in advance, [[User:WWB_Too|WWB Too]] ([[User talk:WWB_Too|Talk]] &middot; [[User:WWB_Too|COI]]) 20:40, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

== A different Rubin suggestion ==

Hi again, wanted to let you know that I did eventually find assistance for the '93 Deficit Reduction Act topic I asked about awhile ago. After that was done, I posted a request suggesting the addition of a subsection called ''Secretary of the Treasury''... I think it's a major omission that there is no section devoted to what he is best known for. But that was more than two weeks ago, and I haven't yet received a response through the edit request queue. If you find a spare moment, I'd love to have your input. You can find the request [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert_Rubin#Secretary_of_the_Treasury here].

== Not helpful ==

It is not helpful to redirect titles with middle initials to disambiguation pages that fail to demarcate all individuals with these initials. A reader who specifically searches for a name with a middle initial is likely not looking to be irritated with a wall of names mostly irrelevant to their search.

== Disambiguation page titles ==

Hi KConWiki, just FYI - if a disambiguation page has no primary topic, then the title should be the ambiguous term and the title with '(disambiguation)' is the redirect, not the other way around. I have listed [[There's Something About a Soldier (disambiguation)]] and [[The Girl Who Came Back (disambiguation)]] at [[WP:MALPLACED]] because I'm not sure if swapping titles requires an administrator. [[User:Leschnei|Leschnei]] ([[User talk:Leschnei|talk]]) 14:09, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

:Hi - Thanks for doing that, I had not gotten to that piece yet - Both of those originally had an ambiguously named title for one of the articles involved (which resulted in some inaccurate links coming in) so I added the parenthetical suffixes to disambiguate. It think it does require an administrator to override an existing name like that, thus I was not able to, and as I say I didn't get to that piece of it yet. (But, as you demonstrated, it didn't take long for someone else to.) Thanks for your contributions. [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 14:15, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Nancy Rotering]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G4|section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a [[Wikipedia:Deletion debates|deletion discussion]], such as at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]]. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Nancy Rotering|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:List of policies|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 {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Nancy+Rotering|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-repost-notice --> [[Special:Contributions/64.229.88.43|64.229.88.43]] ([[User talk:64.229.88.43|talk]]) 22:39, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

== Deletion discussion about [[Blue Rhino]] ==

Hello KConWiki, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, [[Blue Rhino]], should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blue Rhino]].

Deletion [[WP:AFD|discussions]] usually run for seven days and are ''not'' votes. [[WP:DISCUSSAFD|Our guide]] about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is [[WP:N|notability]], but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Velella<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

A tag has been placed on [[:Michael Wessel (disambiguation)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G14|section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a disambiguation page which either

:::* disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
:::*is an [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]] redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such pages may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB|see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Michael Wessel (disambiguation)|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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

== Regarding Category:Causes of conditions ==
Hello, I am puzzling over the contents of [[:Category:Causes of conditions]]. Would you be good enough to explain what you had in mind when you created the Category back in 2015 - and what you think of how it has been used? Thanks in advance! [[User:Anomalous+0|Anomalous+0]] ([[User talk:Anomalous+0|talk]]) 08:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

: Hi - I don't recall the exact circumstances, but I suspect I was looking at something with [[:Category:Causes of events]] (created in 2009) and its parent category , and found a number of things that were not exactly single events (i.e., a single stretch of time) but were more long-lasting conditions, and thus I made that category. To me, looking at how it has been used by others since then, it looks just fine. What prompts that question? [[User:KConWiki|KConWiki]] ([[User talk:KConWiki#top|talk]]) 15:39, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
::Hi again. Thanks for your reply, KConWiki. I was busy editing on a ton of other stuff and forgot to check back here. I should've asked you to ping me!
