I noticed a batch of edits from you on the East Ramapo Central School District page. I have many friends there and I am aware of the local political situation there. I was particularly surprised to find that many edits to the page about the takeover of the School Board by the Hassidic community, https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=East_Ramapo_Central_School_District&diff=737892280&oldid=253509282, have been actively reverted. At this time, there is absolutely no mention of the situation in that district. As an recurring donor to Wikipedia, I'm saddened to see that such biased information curation still occurs on our pages, and even on pages that have clearly had attention from Wikipedia admins.
I intend to restore some of these edits based on first-hand knowledge of the situation at hand, but I do have a few questions in light of the above: 1. Do I need to formally request arbitration when the edit will be, once again, undone, or is this page already on some watchlist. 2. Is a more far-reaching policy enhancement in order on Wikipedia? Facts supported by multiple edits have been consistently and aggressively edited out of this page, and too easily so. 3. Is there a mechanism whereby people close to a topic can be kept in the loop and weigh in on edits, especially edits removing such information? I know there's a "notify me when page is edited" feature which sounds a bit like that, which has never worked for me for some reason, but this can be formalized.

I wouldn't want you to think that I don't understand where you are coming from. It's often hard to find the happy medium between enforcing the guidelines and being officious; on the other hand, I could name several good editors who left because they didn't think we were coming down hard enough on vandalism. I do try quite hard to be helpful and I really don't mind being picked up on things now and again - it keeps me on my toes. Thanks again for your suggestions.

Not much on WP yet about the Beauty-scholar novels, but you seem to be trying to fix that.

Hi! I found this discussion: User_talk:RJN#Why_are_you_.22freezing_out.22_anything_referring_to_Galveston
I know that the name of the metro area has changed. It used to be Houston-Galveston-Brazoria (1990) and later it became Houston-Galveston-Baytown (2000). Now it's officially Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land because the cities of The Woodlands and Sugar Land have grown immensely. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:25, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
""
My reply:
Hi ! Actually you are wrong. The OFFICIAL designation by the United States government is the Houston-Galveston area. Please google "H-GAC" or go here learn the truth. BTW, it is NOT that (the near All-White) The Woodlands and Sugar Land areas have "grown" so, it's the fact the census was taken a couple of years after Hurricane Ike devastated Galveston which caused the displacement of more than 10,000 people ! The recovery is well underway and the population in Galveston is returning. LazLong Sr (talk) 05:48, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what LazLong Sr is talking about. "Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX" is the official name given in this document, produced just eleven months ago. You can't get more official than that. Nyttend (talk) 01:11, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I was considering making an article about Bosnian-Americans in St. Louis. However, I thought it might be good to include information on Serbs and Croats as well, since there doesn't seem to be enough information for three separate articles. What could that be titled? History of the Balkan peoples in St. Louis? History of the South Slavs in St. Louis? Or would it be best just to include information on Bosnians? I'm not sure how to go about this and thought you might have some ideas. If not, sorry for bothering you. Solar-Wind (talk) 02:23, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Update: There are associations and other organizations for Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs. There is some overlap, but for the most part the organizations are separate. Many of these ex-Yugoslavs in St. Louis came during the 1990s as refugees. There are around 70,000 Bosnians in the city, but I can't find the numbers for Croats and Serbs. The tricky thing is that while many of the immigrants from Bosnia are ethnic Bosnians (Bosniaks/Muslims), some are Bosnian Croats (Catholics) or Bosnian Serbs (Orthodox). So while many are from the country of Bosnia, they may identify with Bosnians as a group or they may identify with their own particular Serb or Croat culture. The identity issue here is complicated, as to be expected with people from the Balkans. Solar-Wind (talk) 12:54, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Affirmative action in China
There is also a history of affirmative action in China for minorities. During the Qing dynasty, there were quotas for Miao, Yao and Muslim minorities on the Imperial examination especially after the 1784 rebellion by Jahriyya Sufi Muslims, (i'm working on the article about the 1781 and 1784 Jahriyya rebellions at User:Rajmaan/1781 Jahriyya Rebellion, Elman's books here are focused on the examination system in China and he is not a specialist on Muslims in China like historians such as J. N. Lipman or M. Dillon, he mischaracterizes the 1784 rebellion as a "Muslim separatist" revolt (it consisted of mainly just sectarian violence with no intention of "secession", like modern day sectarian violence in Iraq, as the sources at User:Rajmaan/1781 Jahriyya Rebellion show.
There is a case in the Taizong Shilu during the Yongle Emperor's reign about Mongol military officers exempted from administrative work because of their illiteracy and still getting paid, so some Chinese pretended to be Mongols to avoid doing work.
These are secondary sources for the illiterate Mongols being exempted from work which you can use in the article as a citation, since the primary source (the statement from the Taizong Shilu) should only be used as a quotation.

Uyghurs in Beijing
The first Uyghur community in Beijing dates to the Qing dynasty starting in the 18th century, when the Uyghur leaders like Emin Khoja of
Turfan allied and submitted to the Qing in order to fight against the Dzunghars in the Ten_Great_Campaigns#The_Zunghars_and_pacification_of_Xinjiang_.281755.E2.80.931759.29. The Qing then built a quarter for Uyghur aristocrats in Beijing near the Forbidden City and a community of them sprang up along with their followers.
Note that they weren't called "Uyghurs", because the name "Uyghur" was applied to these people in the 1920s, see Uyghur_people#Origin_of_modern_nationality. In contemporaneous western records in the 19th century, they called them "Turkish" or "Turk" (it was a common western habit to refer to all Turkic speaking peoples as Turkish until they came up with the word "Turkic" which is nowused in modern academia), and scholars today like Millward call them "East Turkestani" or "Altishahri" instead of Uyghur when referring to them before the 20th century, since calling them "Uyghur" would be an anachorism.
The Kumul Khan Maqsud Shah continued to visit Beijing up until the end of the Qing dynasty, to perform the rituals of submission and vassalage to the Qing Emperor.
Greetings, Since our discussion on Giles I have a feeling that maybe most of the primary biographical sources regarding him are still offline/in Chinese? Apparently his chair in Cambridge was renamed in honour of Joseph Needham in 2008 to Joseph Needham Professorship of Chinese History, Science, and Civilization, the current holder being Roel Sterckx. Maybe Sterckx is the best person to query about the available sources regarding Giles, Other eminent sinologists and he himself (Sterckx is definitely notable enough to deserve a GA/even FA). I am guessing that if we ask Sterckx about the potential biographical sources about him, he will not turn us down? (Which academic will not want to see his own page on the front page of Wikipedia!!)

Happy new year sir. May you experience an overflow of the blessings of this year. One of the reasons why I don't like to make promises is because I always feel bad, whenever I do not fulfill them. And when apologies become a routine, they lose value. For that reason, let me just go straight to the point why I am here. Firstly, I created an account on the Yoruba wikipedia (isakabaaa). It was not until recently that I knew English editors can use same account on the Yoruba wiki. Should I continue to use the account on Yoruba Wikipedia, or do I need to do anything first. Secondly, how important is it for an editor to use the right punctuation when editing Yoruba articles. My PC does not have those symbols, and it won't be convenient for me to be copying and pasting them through Google.

Thanks for uploading File:Suporlogocompany.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Currently there are some interesting proposals, e.g. the addition of concept, Armenian Apostolic Church, toast, baguette, croissant and doughnut. However they do not receive enough support votes, and in the future they might be closed as either NO CONSENSUS or FAILED, which is a pity. So please consider supporting these proposals, or WP:VA/E won't get expanded by adding these vital articles.--RekishiEJ (talk) 04:31, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the page Afrocandy does not mean Wikipedia notability guidelines. I out a speedy deletion tag and it was removed by the user Oshwah many times and now he's saying something very strange that a person doesn't have to be proven notable to be on Wikipedia, please see his comments on my talk page. I'm bringing this to the attention of an admin because this page needs to be deleted. The sources quoted are blogs and she has made no impact on the Nigerian music industry, has won no awards and is not known even in Nigeria. Do your own research please and see for yourself, all she has are small mentions. Please advise. Thanks PaulAshford (talk) 23:27, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I want to Participate in the WikiProject France/Paris
Hi, I'm new here and want to contribute to Wikipedia. I'm a bit lost as well but I noticed you were part of "Wikipedia:WikiProject France/Paris". I would love to help out in any Paris related articles as I can, particularly in taking photos in Paris for various Paris related articles that have missing pictures. I would love to join the "WikiProject France/Paris" but more importantly I want to learn everything I need to know...
I'm born and live in Paris by the way and I speak fluent French as well. Hope you can help me out through chat or something outside of wikipedia.org since I have difficulty navigating the website (for now).
I have a first question, I am aware that France lacks "freedom of panorama". I experienced this myself when uploading a photo "File:Palais de Chaillot esplanade Statue.jpg" to the Wikimedia Commons which I then added to an article related to the Palais de Chaillot esplanade, it then got deleted as you may see here (and probably have guessed). Could you explain to me how I can "upload locally to the French and English Wikipedias" rather than uploading my pic to the commons?

Thank you for your thanks!
I have been mulling this one over, but I'm sorry, this was all I could think of to push this forward.
I had a go at looking in the Swindon categories on Commons for editors that might be able to help, but drew a blank (a lot of the pictures I saw were from another website (geograph.org) and the editors I did find aren't around any more); I also had a look through the main editors on the Swindon page, but no-one rang a bell.
I've come across a couple of other moonrakers on WP but AFAIK none of them are in Swindon either. Still, If I think of anything else I'll give it a go.
Also, I hope you don't mind my putting you down as the person to contact; I thought you'd know better than me what is entailed. Regards, Moonraker12 (talk) 23:20, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, WhisperToMe. I noticed that you've edited the Hilton Worldwide article several times before. I was wondering if you had a moment to assist me with a request I posted on the article's talk page regarding a few small updates to the infobox. I am unable to edit the article directly for COI reasons, but I've proposed 3 updates and provided sourcing and formatted citations to make the request easy to complete. If you have a moment to assist, I'd be really grateful. Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:59, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again for assisting with my edit request by posting at WikiProject Hotels and then confirming when the request was answered. I just posted another request on the article's talk page, if you are interested. Otherwise, I have a different (super easy) request:
Currently, the Hilton Worldwide article displays the Conrad and Waldorf Astoria logos in the "Brands" section. Would you be willing to remove these from the Hilton Worldwide article since they are already displayed on their respective articles? Displaying them on the Hilton Worldwide article creates brand confusion. (The Canopy logo can stay until there is an article about this brand.) If you are willing to help, I'd be happy to note this conversation on the Hilton Worldwide talk page in order to be completely transparent about my request. Inkian Jason (talk) 19:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, WhisperToMe. Thanks again for your willingness to remove logos from the Hilton Worldwide article. Since you were so quick to help last time, and no one seems to be responding to my other request, I was wondering if you had a moment to update some text on my behalf. My request here looks scary, but actually updating the article is quite simple because no addition or sources or references formatting is required. This is simply replacing incorrect or outdated text with new information. If you have time, I would really appreciate your additional help, otherwise I completely understand and I really do appreciate your previous assistance. Thanks again!

Hi there. Sadly not. Edubase is so annoying, it clearly has the facility to list different 'types' of schools, yet will only let you search for mainstream types of schools. I similarly cannot get a list of Pupil Referral Units on Edubase, nor Special Post-16 providers, though they are listed on the databse, just not searchable (grrr). However, in your example, you may have better luck with the British Council - Thr British Council essentially is the body that awards 'British School' status to schools abroad (or at least, the Department for Education in UK awards status solely on their advice). The British Council also invigilates A-Levels and GCSEs taken abroad. So you may want to try their website to see if they have any info listed, it may be only listed by country though. Good luck!

I tried to add Italian information after the...
English: Façade of the Italian School in Madrid (Spain), at 1st Calle de Agustín de Betancourt (street).
Español: Fachada del Colegio Italiano de Madrid (España), en el nº 1 de la Calle de Agustín de Betancourt.
First, thank you for letting me know about your proposal. I do not have strong opinion on it. In ideal situation (where we would have articles about all major schools in Hungary) it would be the only rational option. However, once I was making this Template I noticed that there is not to much articles on this topic so I decided to put them all together, and to include only schools that have articles on English Wikipedia. With more templates we will have much more red links. Of course, it will give the reader information on all high school, but I avoided it back than from aesthetic point of view. My only proposal is that if you decide to make change, instead of deleting current template, you move it to Template:High Schools in Budapest and adapt it for this narrower use.--MirkoS18 (talk) 13:45, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:AngelicoChavezStatueSantaFeNM.JPG

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

Hi WhisperToMe. I was wondering if you might be willing to revisit my request to have the brand logos removed from the Hilton Worldwide article, per this request.

Hi dear, it's true that french is used usualy after arab language in Algeria. However Algerians are arab and berbere peoples and only arabic and berbere are officials. Generaly in Wikipedia, we refere only to official languages. That's my opinion dear freind. Thank you. --Fayçal.09 (talk) 12:54, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes French is still important in Algeria. However Arab language is also logicaly used in business and science, as well as university level education, on first. I understand that occident need to understand what is writen in latin language and because we are in english wikipedia, the english language is used. I don't see why french language as unnoficial must be used, arab language is official with berbere and arab is more important in the world then french (Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In The World).
What about aircraft crash accident reports, visibly you are right, I don't understand why arab language is not used, maybe and sadely, arab language is not used yet for these reports. Your asking Why is Arabic not used in aircraft crash accident reports? is a good and important initiative. I understand too your meaning about understanding a french terms concerning Algeria.
My vision is simple, for example, in Germany only german language is used, however if we wants to know more about this country we need to translate in the language adapted of anyone and the language more used for that is english. What about Algeria, I know that french is more adapted however translation from arabic, berbere or french to english or other language is possible same as Germany for german language. I hope that you understand what I mean. --Fayçal.09 (talk) 18:39, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In India, english is an official language, in Nigeria there are many dialects (not languages), same as most of african sub saharian countries. In Algeria, french is not an official language, and arabic is not a dialect but a strong language wich is spoken by all algerians (arab and berbere). --Fayçal.09 (talk) 21:03, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mississippi corruption case
Was your note of a week ago about your edits intended for me? I didn't get a ping so just noticed it when I updated the article this morning. Thanks! Activist (talk) 12:30, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed back when Haley Barbour got elected, taking office in January 2004, that the MS prison system quickly became a porkfest. Ronnie Musgrove had been desperately trying to put the brakes on it, along with a number of legislators, but when he left office, it appeared sky was the limit. I particularly remember Musgrove possibly inventing, but certainly popularizing the term, "ghost beds." The state had already overbuilt, but at that point it was being taken to the cleaners. (Barbour also used Katrina recovery money to build the Adams County prison for CCA, if memory serves.) Now it is in unimaginably bad straits, with empty prisons both at Delta and Walnut Grove, and an incredible amount of debt load as a result. Walnut Grove was hugely expanded under Barbour. I guess we'll see when the other shoes drop. Without giving details, the USAG SM, referred to the kickbacks as going back to 2004, I think. I'll take care of what I assume was my error right away. I expect that you and I have shared maybe 90% of all the edits to the article since you authored it. The first 28, I think, were all yours. Activist (talk) 16:23, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see if I mixed up McCrory and Simmons. Also, I didn't mention Tallahatchie, but Jerry Brown has been trying to bring prisoners back to California, which has had a big drop (like MS) in prison population, emptying Sayre, OK recently. So I expect Tallahatchie could close, leaving even more bonded indebtedness. CA also has prisoners in Pinal County, AZ, so I'm not sure which would be back sooner, if Brown can do that. Activist (talk) 17:17, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not sure what the problem was with the citation. The Nave cite of 11/13/14 notes that McCrory got $12,000 a month from MTC. The Jeff Amy (AP) citation at the Daily Journal (DJ) from 6/13/16 notes that McCrory got $10,000 a month from GEO Group. Could you resend that note to me that I must have accidentally erased after seeing it for a second? Activist (talk) 13:30, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.
Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Plus, it will be easier for you and your co-editors to collaborate on articles if, instead of making multiple consecutive edits in rapid succession on an article, you use the "Show preview" button to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits. This keeps the page history of the article less cluttered.
Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Erictalk02:01, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, WhisperToMe. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa.04:56, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading File:YukishiroTomoe.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
I am doing a Good Article review for Causeway Bay Books disappearances at Talk:Causeway Bay Books disappearances/GA1. You seem to be someone who can speak or read Chinese. Could you do a spot-check of some of the references in their original language? I don't want to Pass the article to GA status and then find out I missed something in the references because of my reliance on Google Translate...
If you could respond with any thoughts or concerns at Talk:Causeway Bay Books disappearances/GA1 so I could keep the GA info all in one place that would be helpful. If you'd rather not or don't have the time - that's cool, I am also asking a few other Wikipedians for assistance on checking the references in the original language.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi WhisperToMe.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
The Challenge Series is a current drive on English Wikipedia to encourage article improvements and creations globally through a series of 50,000/10,000/1000 Challenges for different regions, countries and topics. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are invited to participate.

YKSD
You asked RadioKAOS about the district. I was editing the Minto article and noticed your inquiry. I assumed you want a picture of the District HQ, but you weren't clear. As you may have noticed, the district's website doesn't include any photos of the HQ, though it has pictures of staff persons. There is a remote shot, but it just shows an aerial view of the larger neighborhood. You may alternatively have wondered why the HQ is in Fairbanks. Check this URL and you'll see why. The total population of the villages it serves are all under 400, and some are under 100. All are somewhat isolated, including from each other, but a few are along the Iditarod (race) trail, the only few days of the years that much is going on in those places. If it is a photo you want, you could probably write to the district and they'd take and post one, or at least share it with you with permission for you to post it. I wasn't aware, but their HQ also shares space with one of the few administrative centers for the state-funded home schooling program. RadioKAOS also lives in Fairbanks, I think, so he (?) could probably take a photo and upload it for you in a pinch. http://www.yksd.com/domain/3 I hope this is helpful Activist (talk) 15:01, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Activist: Thanks for the notification. Unfortunately, my time for this has been relatively limited for going on the past 14 months, due to both career and health-related issues. When I have had enough time, it seems to get eaten up either by an endless series of contrived "controversies" or by WP:OWN editors who are looking for any excuse they can do undo my work and #### all over my good faith. Anyway, I no longer remember what I did or didn't say about this when I was first asked, but I took and uploaded a photo to Commons roughly two-and-a-half years ago, which is at File:Yukon-Koyukuk School District offices.JPG.
As to what Activist spoke about: first, the headquarters technically isn't in Fairbanks, but rather within the census-designated place boundaries of College roughly a quarter-mile west of Fairbanks city limits. That may only be important if the intent is to refer to it in the article on Fairbanks. We say at the very beginning that it's an article about the city of Fairbanks, but every editor who comes along appears to have their own arbitrary definition of what Fairbanks is, often bearing little relation to what's clearly defined through sources. Second, the state government performed a comprehensive overhaul of the educational structure in 1975, due to a combination of the Hootch and Tobeluk cases, the elimination of the separate military school districts in the Anchorage, Fairbanks and Kodiak areas, and the elimination of a state-operated central school serving those outside of existing districts. In rural areas, the legislature created the Unorganized Borough School District, obstensibly overseen by the legislature, though in reality they have always taken a hands-off approach to much of anything having to do with the Unorganized Borough apart from occasionally proposing new organized boroughs. This "school district" was divided into 20+ REAAs (rural education attendance areas), of which YKSD is one. Here's the central point to all this. Alaska has two classes of city governments, which deliniates things like city structure, election and terms of officials and the services these cities provide. State law requires that first-class cities in the Unorganized Borough operate city school districts separate from their surrounding REAAs. In YKSD's region, the largest cities are Galena, Nenana and Tanana, all three of which are first-class cities. So Activist is spot-on correct in mentioning that the district serves communities lacking in both infrastructure and population, henceforth making it attractive to locate its headquarters in a place which isn't so lacking and is "centralized" in the sense that next-door Fairbanks International Airport is the most obvious connecting point for these communities. Otherwise, Galena is an administrative headquarters of sort for the area like Fort Yukon is for the area upriver, and would have made a likely spot for district headquarters if not for the requirement that they operate their own school district.

@RadioKAOS: Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of the proper name for the Molly Hootch case. Sorry to hear you're still having health issues. I also share your frustration with difficult editors. I wonder how many careful and prolific editors they've driven off. I've gone 'round and 'round with one, N---shift, who has irked WhisperToMe as well. The worst was CFredrick, who I'm almost certain was a full-time, paid political editor for over three years, but who only got permanently banned at last for sockpuppetry in October.

Hi. Recently, while expanding the article named above, I checked the edit history, and was quite surprised - I do appreciate stubs, but this [18] definitely doesn't need 14 edits [19] to make.

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that some edits performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. They are as follows:
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://police.ge/en/ministry/structure-and-offices. 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 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's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Re: Jared Fogle
Regarding his residence, as listed in the infobox, the purpose of the "residence" infobox entry is to show where one lives in civilian life, not in prisoner life. Prisons are not built to serve as residences, per se; their purpose is to keep criminals locked up, and away from their homes. One's place of incarceration is already designated to be listed elsewhere in the infobox, under "conviction_status." Listing that same info under "residence" would therefore be redundant. JSYK. Greggens (talk) 04:14, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While you've certainly made some good points, it should be noted that Fogle does not have a life sentence or a death sentence; thus, he is expected to get out of prison eventually, and either return to his last city of residence (usually the default for many prisoners) or go live elsewhere if he so chooses. And he does still have family that can contact him while he's in prison (though in the case of his children, he can only see them either with supervision or through a plate glass separator). Besides, if his prison cell location did count as a "residence," then there shouldn't even be an infobox entry for "residence" at all. Either the "residence" entry should show his last known city or town of "regular life" residence, or that entry should have nothing there at all. Greggens (talk) 21:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

re: creation of Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education page.
Thank you for your feedback; I agree that currently, all the information in the Atlanta Board of Education article could be encompassed within the Atlanta Public Schools page. However, I hope the article will be expanded and, when it is, there are two reasons why I think the page deserves to be separate:
First, in general, I believe city school boards deserve a page because they are the groups of elected officials who make decisions about large amounts of public funds and having Wikipedia pages on the subject increases the transparency of information and decreases the asymmetry of information re: both the elected officials and the office they hold.
I added a few more Lamar CISD elementary school photos: Arredondo, Boone, Dickinson, Jackson, Ray, Thomas, Travis, and the Rosenberg post office. Djmaschek (talk) 03:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wake County School Templates
FYI - when you redirected those templates, you accidentally redirected them to the *talk* pages of the new master template ([20], [21], [22]), causing transclusion issues. I have fixed the three redirects. However, many of the pages including the template are now doing so TWICE - you may want to take a look at that. JPG-GR (talk) 13:26, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Photo request: McGovern Centennial Gardens
Hi, WhisperToMe. I have a request. Last time I was in Houston, I had the pleasure of visiting the McGovern Centennial Gardens. I created Wikipedia article stubs for all of the sculptures installed throughout the gardens. However, they are currently unillustrated. No rush, and no worries if you are unavailable or uninterested, but if you find yourself near the McGovern Centennial Gardens, I would very much appreciate you taking pictures of the sculptures there, and uploading them here at Wikipedia under fair use. There are 14 sculptures, all within a very close vicinity. There are 10 installed within the Hawkins Sculpture Garden:
Hello WhisperToMe! There is currently an ongoing discussion on this hospital's talk page that has since been stagnate. Formerly two independent articles, Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Gabon and the current which was solely used for a hospital in Haiti that share the same name (both use French as an official language) has recently had the contents of Gabon's hospital merged with the Haiti article. Prior to the merge I did not even know it was taking place, for whatever reason. Opposing editor and I differ on whether the two hospitals are independent. More of this discussion can be found on its talk page. I would much appreciate a third opinion on the matter. Thank you kindly. Savvyjack23 (talk) 01:19, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Montrose and Neartown merge?
Should the Houston Neartown article be merged into the Montrose article? Montrose seems to be the preferred description of the same area. The new signage calls the area Montrose, not Neartown. Newspapers and TV reports also refer to the area as Montrose, not Neartown. For what it is worth, I have not heard anyone refer to Montrose as Neartown in the last ten years.

Please archive your talk page. Please. (also Adak schools)
Hi. I came here to post a couple of links about the Adak schools. By the time the page finished loading, I'd almost forgotten.
Anyway, while one can't say this directly because it would be WP:SYNTH, the naval station's closure caused a major drop in population, and fewer people=fewer schools. This public health assessment says "In 1990, the Naval Complex was occupied by 5,600 people (2,800 military)...By March 31, 1997, most military personnel had left. April 1, 1997, Adak entered into caretaker status with a staff of 10 Navy personnel and approximately 200 civilians as contractor employees."
This EIR says there were 551 students and 37 teachers. By 2014, they only had 25 according to the city of Adak.

I looked at your first couple of edits on the Epps article. That Buntin material has been in there for years. I never even noticed that it didn't have an infobox. I've never looked at it closely. I think the only thing I found interesting in his family life was his mom's position, which I noticed a couple of years ago. I'm guessing that he came from a very well educated household not much removed from the James Farmer/James Meredith era, in the Deep South, which was remarkable. I'll take a look at the rest. I spent a lot of time, which I really couldn't spare, bringing the Operation Mississippi Hustle up to date, interested in it mainly because of the corruption, and went back and forth from there. However, it was so tedious that I figured I'd get back to the Epps article when and if I had the time. I recall that you and I discussed the Parchman article maybe a couple of years ago. I was interested in the terracing of the farm (which might have been done with mules and plows, not all that many decades ago) from surface contour or aerial maps, and you noted the huge amount of acreage, I think. In the OMH article, I found a couple of mistakes of facts in the source articles. When I do that I often send a note to the reporters and they usually thank me and change them so the web version is correct. I'll go back and look at your subsequent edits and comments. Once again, thanks for your keen eye. Thanks much! P.S. I did some work on the Healy family article months ago, interested because of the Civil War era education of the mixed-blood children and their really remarkable professional success, which was only because they went to school in the NE and had careers there, D.C. and Canada, except for Michael, who was a Revenue Service (USCG) cutter captain. Activist (talk) 08:49, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I meant to correct the sentence length. Two or more reporters who covered the story mentioned that Epps would be doing almost 20 years. However, there was a typo in one story that was copied into Wikipedia about it: It said Wingate gave him "325" months. It was actually 235 months. Also, the reporter figured that as "19.7" years. Obviously, it rounds up to 19.6 years. The Gates story had video with a crawl that confirmed the 235 figure. Sheesh! I meant to check it on PACER, but hadn't gotten around to it. I don't like to download many docs because they don't charge you for under $15 worth per calendar quarter, and occasionally I pull transcripts which can get spendy. There's a class action suit right now about the (over)charges, and I was solicited to opt in or out of the class. Activist (talk) 10:12, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.S. Whichever reporter or his paper that had written the story and had the typo, "325," rather than "235" months for the Epps sentence, spotted the mistake and not only corrected it in the original, for the Clarion-Ledger, but also for the wire services that picked up the story from Gannett or AP (Jimmie Gates or Jeff Amy, I think) and it's corrected everywhere I looked, so the Wikipedia article citations are now directing to revised, accurate stories.

This edit to the article for the Lower Cape May Regional School District quotes a report that says that the district was paying $50,000 per student, nearly triple the state average. The statement made no sense, both in terms of my knowledge of spending numbers in the state and the data from the 2014 Taxpayers' Guide to Education Spending cited in the Wikipedia article that says that the district spends $21,740 per pupil. A more careful read of the report shows that it cites this article as its source. What that article says is that the city of Cape May bears a disproportionate share of the costs of the district due to comparatively higher property rateables and fewer students as a percentage of the population than the other constituent municipalities, especially Lower Township. This has nothing to do with the cost of education for each student, which is not $50,000; what it has to do is with the equity of the funding formula in the district. I will edit the article to reflect the content of the source from the Cape May County Herald, not the report from the Center for American Progress that misinterprets that article.

I have been unable to find the final report in any lingo. The link just goes to CENIPA's home page. I usually try to fix such errors, but putting TAM into the site's search function returns zip. 50.64.119.38 (talk) 00:32, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning from Coreca,
I'm writing to say hello and know how you are. I'm pretty good for now. I also write to ask you the usual help regarding the Corea Reefs page, if you can correct some grammatical or translation mistakes and give a more logical sense to the article. Then if you need me, I'll be delighted to translate what I'm most concerned about. a good greeting.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 14:22, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am looking for feedback about the utility of this template (Template:Society Hill, Philadelphia). I attempted to edit its layout to better organize this template according to Society Hill Civic Association quadrants, but I resorted to just starting from scratch here: Template:Society Hill. Any thoughts about various approaches would be helpful before I just go ahead and replace a template. As far as I can tell, there are no other similar templates for other neighborhoods (just cities). It seems User:WhisperToMehas started something novel and useful here. (crossposed on that talk page) PHILA19106 (talk) 01:48, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@PHILA19106: Looks fine to me! I have started templates for neighborhoods/districts of cities if there are five or more other Wikipedia articles corresponding to landmarks in that area. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:11, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Banks, Arkansas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hermitage School District (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hinoki International School until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate
Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.
I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!
Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!
If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.
This will be the last message you receive from the English Wikipedia WAM team for being a 2016 participant. If you sign up for WAM 2017, you will continue receiving periodic updates on the 2017 event.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/M.J. Khan until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Letter from Wikimedia User Group Hong Kong
Dear WhisperToMe,
Thank you for your interest in our user group. To obtain the status as a Wikimedia User Group, we have to make a decision on our name and logo. You are welcome to view three sets of names and two logo proposals that members of the user group have proposed over the past weeks, and vote for the best proposal, in your opinion, until Wednesday, 8 November 2017. (link) We look forward to your reply.
Invitation to Asian Month Edit-a-thon in Hong Kong, 2017
Dear WhisperToMe,
The Asian Month Edit-a-thon in Hong Kong, 2017 will take place on 25th November 2017 (Sat) at 6:30 PM HKT1. The venue is Unit 2002-04, 20/F, 9 Chong Yip Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon (Ooosh) and we would like to invite you to attend the event. You can help newcomers to Wikipedia to master essential editing skills and edit articles related to Asia. Please find the details in the dedicated page on Meta. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
Thank you,
The event consists of two parts: Training session (in Cantonese) and editing session. We will introduce what Wikipedia is, essential knowledge and skills for editing and common traps (e.g. notability and page protection). You can come at 7:30 PM HKT if you would like to skip the Training session.
Good evening from Calabria,
I'm writing to say hello and know how you are. I'm pretty good for now. Engaged in my cultural association and in Corea, there are still some beautiful days not so cold. I'm also writing to ask you for help, if you could refresh the article I told you, I tried to translate quickly with my bad English. There are some grammatical mistakes and horrors. But I'm sure that with your precision and skill you will definitely be able to help me. If I can do something for you, I will put it at your disposal. A greeting from Coreca.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 15:33, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:
Hello, WhisperToMe. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Thanks for the notice! I am aware that technically Crown dependencies aren't a part of the UK, but I believe that in Wikipedia categories crown dependencies are grouped with the actual parts of the UK. Category:Schools in Jersey is under Category:Schools in British Crown Dependencies, then Category:Schools in British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, which is under Category:Schools in the United Kingdom. I'm trying to follow that structure. @Mrh30:WhisperToMe (talk) 13:17, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mrh30: Might be a good idea to let the editor know, just in case she meant to include it. @BrownHairedGirl:, did you intend for Category:Schools in British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to be a daughter category of Category:Schools in the United Kingdom? Since BOT and Crown Dependencies are technically not in the UK, what do you think should be done? Should "Category:Schools in the United Kingdom" be renamed to "Category:Schools in the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies"?

Hi, I'm Alucard 16. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, East Chicago, Ind., and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.
(talk page stalker)Alucard 16, it's not at all clear why you would do that. Right up to the time the USPS adopted universal two-letter abbreviation in the 1970s, "Ind." was the accepted abbreviation for Indiana. It's certainly the one I learned and used growing up there. I added the spelling redirect template to the page and would appreciate you re-reviewing it. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 04:52, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I get why you made that change to Template:Ethnic Boston sidebar, but I don't get why you only changed the one item. Don't you think there are cultural differences between people in Ireland and Americans whose ancestors emigrated from Ireland in 1840?

Hello, and nice meeting you today! Could you look into this cross-wiki stalking problem I had experienced? I had been constantly reverted across projects since 2016, which I presumed was done by the same user since the IPs they used are either from the same range or location (like 36.234.0.0/16 and 101.8.0.0/13). Example: [26], [27], [28], [29], [30]. Also I believe there are other users from mainland China who were stalked. Thanks :)--Jsjsjs1111 (talk) 08:59, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest in our user group. To obtain the status as a Wikimedia User Group, we have to make a decision on our mission.

It's about time.....
Hello WhisperToMe. Thank you for joining and welcome to WikiProject Schools. Please check out:
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. PRehse (talk) 17:09, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Gremlin (company), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please hold off on adding more comments to the portals RFC for a few minutes, so I can fix some problems that were introduced into that page with one of your edits. More information shortly. Hang on... - dcljr (talk) 23:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I think I got all of them. this edit contained a bunch of random changes, which I have reverted. Were you trying to edit the entire page? It's best to edit just one small subsection at a time, since the page has gotten so large. - dcljr (talk) 23:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Dcljr: Yeah, I was trying to add comments to multiple sections at once. Anyway thanks for the heads up! (it may be good to put a bolded notice or notice in red instructing people to edit one section at a time) WhisperToMe (talk) 23:31, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Dcljr: Thank you! It might help to put an attention grabber before the table of contents on Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals (something like "Before contributing, please read the instructions below."). What happened in my case is I didn't see instructions before the TOC and figured "I've been around since 2003 and have been through many discussions, so I have a handle on how it works." WhisperToMe (talk) 23:48, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense. I just added a very similar box above the TOC, to "force" people to see it (too risky to just link to the instructions, as many users won't bother to follow the link). It's now all a bit redundant, but there's no telling how users come to that page, so I think having slightly redundant instructions in multiple places is better than trying to have one centralized set of instructions... - dcljr (talk) 00:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
You are invited to join the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system...
The Portals WikiProject was rebooted 9 days ago, and is going strong. Fifty-two 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 building and maintaining portals easier. We've finished one so far, with more to come.
Discussions are underway about how to upgrade portals, and what the portals of the future will be.
There are plenty of tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too) on the WikiProject page.
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.

I decided not to place this speedy; I thought at first they were another batch of promotional articles for dentists, but I see that is not the case. I need to think further about the articles on the various chains you have been writing. O'm a little concerned about over-detailed negative information. ( DGG ( talk ) 09:33, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@DGG: It's a tough situation; ordinarily an article shouldn't be overly negative, but the media reliable source coverage for the likes of All Smiles Dental Centers and Small Smiles Dental Centers (both defunct) were almost universally negative, just like coverage of Bernie Madoff. If the vast majority of RS'es are about accused fraud/etc that's not an attack article.
In the case of South Texas Dental I didn't see as much negative coverage on them; they're just the guys who took over all the All Smiles places when that chain closed.
might it be better to merge? Usually we merge into the later company, but if the earlier one is the most notable, perhaps that's better? I saw these because I am trying to s=do something about promotional and other dubious entries for dentists, dermatologists, etc. Are you interested in this field, of just accidentallly found these? DGG ( talk ) 05:52, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@DGG:, it could be possible to do a merge; I think a discussion outlining the two options would be best since the situation is complicated. All Smiles Dental Centers is certainly notable; it was the small company and no longer exists. South Texas Dental existed before All Smiles (there was no rename) and they took over the remaining practices, but they got little press coverage.
There was a wave of large dental companies (national and statewide) which had Medicaid families as customer bases forming circa the mid-2000s, and after then some of the practices were accused of Medicaid fraud by news media and/or by customers; the US government intervened in some of these cases. I read newspaper articles about some of these practices (Small Smiles and All Smiles were the two that generated the most media coverage) and used the articles as the bases of the Wikipedia articles. In fact there's a Congressional report (Alternate link) that talks about how Small Smiles (CSHM) was accused of fraud, and it also discusses ReachOut Healthcare America
One important thing is that I made sure Spanish versions of some articles were started; this is because many of the Medicaid families affected were low income immigrants from Latin America who had poor English comprehension. The boy who was documented in Roberta Baskin's report was a Hispanic boy from Langley Park, Maryland.
I felt good as I learnt something from a experienced ADMINISTRATOR. I feel good to learn something and thanks for putting that on my talk page. Can I contact you when I need some help? Souvik Nova (talk) 19:45, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The 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.
I'd also like to let you know that the 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 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 project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Greetings
Hello, I am the one who have briefly talked with you after the meetup today. It is really nice meeting you and I thought it would be great to drop you a line to say hi. :) Lakokat13:32, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
IIRC, a few years ago you had sent a message asking about contributions to Wiki: ES. (My attempt to archive my talk page is a big fail: the bot removed the old content, but there is no archive.) Lately I have been reading SP and FR wikis, and my competency for those languages is picking up, though much of it really depends on the subject. I have been able to read some of the Spanish-language sources enough to edit the EN articles, and I have even made a few light edits of a few SP articles related to Mexico. One of the main challenges is finding reliable and stable sources of Mexican-related content over the Internet, which hinders the development of those articles.
You are listed at WikiProject Houston. Do you know if this project is active? Most of the editors listed there are no longer active on Wikipedia, and I cannot see that there any project-functions being executed since about 3-4 years ago, for example, page assessment, coordination of page improvement, and articles requested. I have made attempts to engage the group, and these have been roundly ignored. OTOH, some of the editors listed at the project page are very strong. Do you have any insight?
1. As for WikiProject Houston I and User:RJN may be the only active editors left. As Wikipedia matured there are fewer long term editors...
* One thing that IMO would really help are Spanish-language articles on the METRORail stops.
2. I wonder how many Mexican libraries or newspapers have their microfilms open. Getting access to microfilm content could be a way of getting around this issue...
Many of the editors with the oldest identities at WikiProject Houston never made many edits, unless they were maintaining multiple accounts. I think much of the activity there prior to 2008 involved engagement of the local experts writing unsourced material (even if it was often true). Do you know who organized it and if they are still on WP?
I have made one sad little edit on the Monterrey transit system. Here is the diff: [31]. All I did is find a new source and instantiate a new number for buses in their fleet. By reading these SP wiki articles, I am acquiring the vocabulary for writing about transit. Metrorrey, the Spanish name for the system in Monterrey, is amidst scrutiny from the local press about where the money has gone and for what. Local officials had announced that a third fixed-guideway line, a mostly elevated line would be operational. This article [32] explains that 600 million pesos have been appropriated this year for Linea 3 for building stations and elevated track. Metrorrey has not even taken bids for the new railcars [33], which are not interchangeable with the other two lines. There is still a Nuevo Leon web page up [34] claiming a completion date of August 2015. Such is the problem with researching some of these article.
One of the questions I have about writing articles for rail stations is about citation standards. I could raise the same question about descriptions of highways. See Houston#Roadways, second paragraph. I see unsourced write-ups describing freeways, but I don't see that content being tagged. The unsourced articles describing transit stations are all tagged. For example, see Northline Transit Center. Cheers, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 11:30, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
2. Yeah, much of the issues often have to deal with conflicting sources. That's why I use {{Asof|}} to show that facts and figures were stated as of that date, and or using the wording "... is/was scheduled to..."
3. I haven't worked on rail projects that much, but for general subjects the main question is "is it likely to be challenged?" - If you think someone may dispute the figure or may really want a source for the info, it's better to cite it. In reality I believe about 90% of what I contribute has a citation.
@WhisperToMe: 1. I had listed my name at WikiProject Houston about three or four years ago, when the group still seemed to be active. I removed my identity from the list after not being contacted for an extended period of time. I made a few other postings to the project page with no response. Now I realize that other WikiProjects are the same way: they do not contact the newbies. This is something I should bring up to the WikiProjects. It's not a project without collaboration, and people who are not able to collaborate with other in the group are not effectively a part of the project. That's a problem because these are missed opportunities: collaboration can create synergies.
2. Yes, I agree.
3. You have been around much longer, but I am just now starting to appreciate various interpretations of verifiability and citing sources. I edit mostly historical articles, so, aside from the lede, I only write when I provide or re-purpose a citation. Every statement is backed up with a source, though I do not provide a unique citation for every statement. For a paragraph with statements a,b,c,d,e and inline citation C1, I will typically write a,b,c,d,eC1, where C1 supports all five statements, sometimes expressed as a small page range from a book. If I add to a paragraph, I might click through a citation in a paragraph with a,b,d,eC1, find support for new material, then I add c resulting in paragraph a,b,c,d,eC1. If I write statement c, which fits the middle of the narrative of the paragraph, but not supported by C1, I amend the paragraph to a,bC1,cC2,d,eC1. Often I have seen editors (and too often at Houston in the past) amend a paragraph a,b,d,eC1 without a new citation and without support from the existing citation to a,b,c,d,eC1. This creates a deception, even if unintentional, that c is supported by C1. I now revert edits like this if I cannot find support from the source referred to by the citation. None of this addresses the interpretation of you and many other experienced editors who cite verifiability in principle rather than verifiability in fact. I fall hard on the verifiability in fact because it's required for the content I typically write. Anything historical can be challenged. I am experiencing cognitive dissonance based on transportation articles, where perhaps some descriptions of the infrastructure are obvious. Cheers, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 13:31, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, 3. is one of the greatest issues with Wikipedia. A lot of people don't understand that they need a new ref, and the editing system doesn't tell them this! In my experience that stuff is unintentional. "Anything historical can be challenged." is definitely true; when I write history articles I cite just about everything.
WhisperToMe: Do you agree that WikiProjects Houston is inactive or semi-active? Do you agree that Houston-related articles would benefit if WikiProjects Houston were more active? Is that something you are willing to organize? If not, do you think PostOak would come back, or is there another experienced editor who would do a good job? I would like to learn a bit more about the history before I approach the WikiProject Council. Cheers, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 16:03, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Oldsanfelipe: I would say between "inactive" and "semi-active". The collaboration part is inactive, but the principals are still editing Houston-related articles on Wikipedia. I'd have to talk to Postoak and see what kinds of goals we'd have. I think a lot of the efforts were on building the content of Houston-related articles. I suppose doing post-Harvey updates could be a new collaboration idea. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:10, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick response. Post-Harvey is a great idea. You and some other editors are capable of writing a good article even without help. I am thinking about building editing capacity. There are many Houston-related articles which could use improvement. Are there less experienced editors who can be a part of that process by improving their skills? I include myself in this later category, though I am moving toward competence. The assessment system could be a tool for improving Houston-related articles and the skills of people who are interested in Houston-related content. Just collaborating on proofreading and copy editing would be helpful to many editors. Again, I am one who would benefit from the help. But I also think I could help with assessments. Certainly people find ways to collaborate in a more organic way: that's generally how Wikipedia works. But making the project active might multiply the number of collaborations on Houston-related content. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 16:48, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Oldsanfelipe: Good question! I'd have to check recent changes in Houston-related articles to see if there are new editors who are interested in improving content. Holding some in-person edit-a-thons could be a useful tool to recruit editors; I am currently in Shenzhen, China, and I help Wikimedia Hong Kong User Group with their new editor tutorials. I'll be in Houston in August of this year and if it's something feasible I could help with one in Houston (until August 26, when I fly back to China). WhisperToMe (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is proposed to adopt amendments to the mission of the user group proposed in March this year by combining the consensus expressed in the user group's talk page and our last meetup. The motion will settle in this way unless there are objections raised before 11th July.
To obtain the status as a Wikimedia User Group, we have to elect liaisons to contact with the Affiliations Committee. You are welcome to nominate yourself or editors who are capable by tomorrow on Meta. No elections will be held if there are less than four nominees; otherwise single transferable voting is applied to elect liaisons.

Hi, dearest WhisperToMe, how are you? Here it's too hot.
I opened this short page about this ex-showgirl. Please, do you have 3-4 minutes to read it and correct my mistakes? I'll be pleased to help you in Italian and Portuguese. Thanks a lot and see you very soon.
Good morning Justin,
I write to greet you and know how are you, I'm pretty good for now, working for my cultural tourism association. I am writing to ask you a favor, that is to dedicate a little of your precious time to reassume the history of my little village. I ask you to give a shot and refreshed article that is about to improve hour by hour, day after day. Thank you once again for what you did, do and do for me. a greeting from Calabria and see you soon!--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 05:42, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino: Hi! I went ahead and did some fixes of the English! Having said that it will be important that you find sources that confirm the information in the article. Since you know Italian it may be easier for you to do that than me. If you are citing a source in Italian it may help to quote a portion of what you are citing within the citation. Thanks!

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I put a new reference in this page, and I ask only to read it, please, because I want it is put in correct form, and not to seem racist, because I'm not!!!!
@Rei Momo: Thanks for the tip! In this case it's fine to call him black as the Brazilian and Spanish newspapers do so. In the United States "colored" comes across as being a very old-fashioned way of referring to black people (although "people of color" is still used to collectively refer to all people who are not non-Hispanic/Latino White people). The word "colored" still appears in the names of some older organizations such as the NAACP. In South Africa "Coloured" refers to people from mixed racial backgrounds, a different racial category from pure black. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:36, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am active on Romanian Wikipedia and on Commons, but I don't know well the particular guidelines of English Wikipedia. Romanian Wikipedia has started a project to translate some articles into English, a project addressed to university students. They have chosen one of our proposed topics, which we know how an article should be on Wikipedia. Although I explained how to post the translated article, in both cases that have been posted so far, these articles have reached the draft namespace, like this. Is it a common fact for a new user first article? What should be done to prevent this from happening?
Another question is if I have the right to move this article to the articles namespace, with the title Siege of Temeşvar (1716). I read the Wikipedia:Drafts guideline, but there is talk about moving articles to the "Draft"" namespace, or I want the other way around. You can tell me what to do? Thanks. --Turbojet (talk) 05:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Turbojet: Hi! It's just fine for them to use the draft space! When the article's ready it can be moved to the mainspace. As for moving articles, you have the right to move an article from the draft space to the mainspace if/when it's finished/has all of the notability issues worked out. My understanding is that some people choose to move an article from the main space to the draft space if they realize it's not finished and want to work on it some more, but that should only be done if the person moving it/working on it was the only person to have edited the article. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:16, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I will move the article, it is finished and the person who posted it still does not know how to use Wikipedia. I understand that the article arrived in the Draft namespace without his will, that's the problem. Thank you very much. --Turbojet (talk) 05:24, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest in our user group. We have started the process to request for recognition of the WMF. However, the Affiliations Committee consider that our name is not following their guidelines and ask for renaming. A member of the user group put forward a motion to choose a new name for the group with three options provided. You are welcome to endorse or discuss this motion on Meta (link.) We look forward to your reply.
You are receiving this email as you have signed up as an interested member of the Wikimedia User Group Hong Kong, and is active at the English Wikipedia.
This message is sent on behalf of group Liasons of the User Group.
As the mission of the group has been successfully amended, and Liasons elected, the Liasons to affcom have now sent an email to Affcom seeking recognition. However, during the process (which is delayed by the hosting of Wikimania), we have been requested by them Affcom to amend the name of the usergroup (which subsequently mean a change of text of logo as well) as our name did not meet their guidelines.
To resolve this problem, one of the liasons, 1233, has started a discussion on the group's meta talk page(meta) to amend the name of the User Group according to the email received about the recognition of the group. We would hope for more input so as to obtain consensus on this matter and resolve this situation. The discussion will end at 00:00, 1 September (HKT, UTC+8).
In order to speed up the process, we would assume you having no preference if no reply is received on meta.
Many thanks, 1233 (on behalf of the Liasons) Talk·Page

The first two are ticked by default, but the other two are not. When moving a template like this, you should normally tick the option to move the subpages. Note that the Move page lists any subpages that would be moved if you do tick that option.
Look, I opened this new page, and I ask an important help to you, because I'm not able to change it. On Giro dell'Appennino page, at 1938, there's Luigi Ferrando link, but is of an Italian bishop (I opened some years ago). I tried to change as Luigi Ferrando (cyclist), but when I published I was not able to see the good modification.
How can we chage as well?
Thanks a lot for your great hel and have a nice day!

St Olave's Grammar School:Push-pin map
In this case I don't find the map selection helpful. It would be marginally less disruptive if the Greater London Map was the default. The map is over prominent- and barely relates to the article. Olaves has limited contact with LBB- but sees itself as a London institution, the UK map is superfluous for London. The amount of map selection text is huge in comparison with the essential items in the Infobox. Maybe the insert map template could be rewritten within hide brackets or the mapsize reduced to 40%. --ClemRutter (talk) 09:26, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Re this edit Saw your message earlier. I saw from your user page that you lived in Shenzhen and were active in the WPHK before I reversed the edit. My argument is that, since Simp is not used in HK, there really is no reason to add it to pages that are purely HK-specific pages, just like I would argue there was no reason for adding Trad to pages that were about China-specific topics (it's a bit different for things that predate the invention of Simp, for obvious reasons). I feel it's misleading by adding it to the page since it's not an accepted usage, or one that people can expect to encounter, in that context. Wikipedia not being a dictionary, it doesn't seem to me to be relevant. I checked the Chinese Naming Conventions page and discussion, and it seems that there isn't any clear guideline on this as yet, so I'd be keen to hear if you have a different take on it. --Kdm852 (talk) 07:51, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Kdm852: Thanks for the response! I agree it would be a good idea to open a line of inquiry about it. One concern of mine is that many non-Chinese confuse the Trad and Simp characters, so even though Wikipedia isn't a dictionary, I still think it's good for clarification purposes. Secondly, while HK locals dont use Traditional characters (the only times I've seen them on the MTR was on the East Rail Line to the border) Mainlanders do sometimes use Trad characters to make a location or place seem fancy (like using cursive in English). Anyhow I'm happy to open a discussion on this issue! WhisperToMe (talk) 10:47, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please, I just opened this little stub, and I ask you 4 minutes of your time, please, to read an put in correct English the plot. Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon.
Hi, I saw your note at User:RJN's talk page about possibly re-starting a Houston WikiProject, and mentioning User:Oldsanfelipe (pinging by this note). By the way IMHO from watching city-level wikiprojects elsewhere, I would hope you might try to enliven WikiProject Texas instead, and discuss Houston stuff all you like there. But good luck either way.
Thanks for the notice! I went and left comments. As per the Houston WikiProject, at this stage I wouldn't mind if it was integrated into WP Texas as a task force of some kind. Nowadays there's a lot less traffic in regards to these regional projects. @Doncram:WhisperToMe (talk) 23:22, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram: Thanks for the note. User:WhisperToMe has said that he wants to do meetups, but I have no plans to participate in those. I personally would not find those helpful, though I am sure many other editors would. Independent of the merits of meetups, where I see the possibility of generating interest in the WikiProjects and for improving the work is through the assessment process. Doncram and WhisperToMe, what do y'all think of that idea? Oldsanfelipe (talk) 09:40, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Oldsanfelipe: While assessment is important I think it's something to be done after people are engaged in a WikiProject. Most people reading Wikipedia don't read the talk pages, and therefore don't read the assessments. IMO the best way to grow a WikiProject is to make WikiProjects more visible to newbies. Sadly I feel our hands are tied with that as Wikipedia-referencing is limited in the article spaces themselves. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:29, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:WhisperToMe, Thanks for engaging me in this discussion. I am sure that you know much about the workings of the WikiProjects that I cannot imagine. However, I think you are overweighting the goal of recruiting new editors. Sometimes the answer is both and all of the above. I have two analogies that are somewhat dissimilar to the WikiProject situation, but similar enough in certain aspects to be helpful as explanations. One is voter registration versus get out the vote. Obviously, you can only vote if you are registered, so voter registration drives are necessary. Yet you cannot ignore registered voters just because they have voted in the past, therefore, there are get out the vote campaigns. You need to register voters, but you need to serve people who have already voted. The second analogy is a poorly frequented restaurant. Advertising for new business is probably necessary, but ultimately fruitless without giving good service. You cannot wait for new business to provide good service. You must serve current customers. WikiProject Houston has some active editors who have signed up for the project, but not (as far as I can tell) receiving any support from the project. There are other editors, who like me, are creating and editing articles under the scope of the project, but without project support. You cannot assume that because people have voted before that they will vote in the next election. A few customers in a restaurant cannot sustain you, but you still need to take their orders. They could also turn out to be people who will refer new clientele. Finding new editors will not help if the project page is three years out of date and nobody is monitoring the project's talk page, for example. I signed up for the project three or four years ago and requested assessments. After never receiving a response from the project, I removed my name from the list. Am I the only editor to give up on the project after being ignored? Oldsanfelipe (talk) 09:06, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Oldsanfelipe: Despite being here for a long time I've never done assessments. I've focused solely on article creation.
I think much of what's happened is that a lot of the previous WikiProject Houston posters have gotten busy, grown up, and gotten new jobs/marriages to worry about. There just aren't a ton of people watching the talk page. If you're referring to this Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Houston#Assessing_articles - I don't think there is/was one. You just find one of the contacts and ask him/her to help you. I probably should have paid more attention to the project page, but I got busy with other stuff. If you want, show me some articles you want me to assess and I can have a stab at it.
WhisperToMe My point is not: I cannot get my pages assessed, therefore I will be satisfied if my pages are assessed. My point is that page assessment is one of several important WikiProject functions, and one I was offering to help with. I also imagined, based on the number of requests for assessments across all projects, that there is demand for such an initiative. On another note, it would be difficult to reactivate the project without some kind of cooperation and counsel from the previous administrators of the project. This does not appear to be forthcoming. I just tagged the page as inactive. It's overdue. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 10:50, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WhisperToMe, I wouldn't need to consult with the previous page assessors. I can assess pages stub through b-class. That's the easy part. I would expect that anyone reviving the project would take advice from the editors who created and edited the templates. Also, they would want to pick their brains about general matters. It's smart to try to access institutional memory. But it appears that nobody wants to step into those roles. It sounds like you want to make it into a task force of WikiProject Texas. I guess that will happen. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 11:46, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Oldsanfelipe: I'd like to get the institutional memory and advice of the old timers too, but a lot just seem to have moved on. User:Postoak (who seems to be the guy who started this project) blanked his userpage last February. If you'd like I could try e-mailing some of them just in a last-ditch attempt to see if they're up for reviving it as a standalone project. Remember though that making this a task force means it's still going on, just with less administrative load. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide/Task_forces#Converting_existing_projects_to_task_forces talks about the process of converting a project into a task force. BTW I found User:Brianreading is still active so I reached out to him. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:24, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I responded on my talk page. I think we should reactivate the project. We still have many long-term editors that can help, including yourself. Postoak (talk) 16:52, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Zerabat: It looks good! I don't know what Korean sources have said about the school, but so far I don't think there's any major expansion on the horizon. Please start the translation. Thanks! WhisperToMe (talk) 03:55, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Choice Hotels article improvements
Hello, WhisperToMe! I've been working with Choice Hotels to propose improvements for the company's Wikipedia article. I've saved a draft article here and, as always, disclosed my conflict of interest on the article's talk page (Talk:Choice Hotels). You helped me with the Hilton Worldwide article before, and since no one has responded to my first edit request or note at WikiProject Hotels, I thought I'd reach out to you directly to see if you'd be willing to assist.
Hi again! Regardless of whether or not you're interested in reviewing the proposed content for the next section, would you mind revisiting Talk:Choice_Hotels#"Growth_and_expansion" when you have a moment? I'd appreciate your feedback on the "where?" tag (hopefully you received my email with article text) and adding the "Grant18" citation to the live article. Thank you! Inkian Jason (talk) 17:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I updated my comment above. I found another editor to assist with the "Grant18" citation. The "where?" tag remains, and I've posted another request here for the "Recent history" section. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 19:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, striking out part of a comment left while you were updating the article. I've outlined the remaining requests at the bottom of the talk page (addition of "Recent history" / removal of "Headquarters relocation", replacing "Loyalty program" with the proposed "See also" section", and a suggested category change and image addition). Thanks again for all your help! Inkian Jason (talk) 20:11, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Fauvirt: Thank you for showing me the image! I was not aware it existed! The address of WizzAir does say it's "Building B" in the complex, so I'm trying to figure out if this is Building B or not WhisperToMe (talk) 18:23, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I opened this little stub now, and I ask you some minutes of your time, please, to read it and correct my mistakes, please. Thanks a lot and have a nice week end.

Good evening from Coreca,
I am writing to greet you and know how you are. I'm pretty good for now. I'm writing to ask for help to improve and settle the article, as you know my English is bad, but I tried to give a tip lately. Here is the biography on my sandbox, it has not yet been accepted by the Italian community. I ask you the courtesy of dedicating us right and no more than 10 minutes of your precious time. If I can do something for you, ask. Sure of your answer and help I thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 18:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

Hi WhisperToMe, hope you're well and not sure if you remember me, but I'm sure you'll remember me from the TfD Infobox UK school merger discussion that we had a while back. The merger was a success which I'm sure you'll have noticed. During the merge discussion process, we produced an "after-merge ideas" section (now renamed to "Infobox cleanup" after revamping the entire section) on the Infobox school talk page with improvements to the infobox, such as merging and removing parameters. This is basically a full cleanup of the infobox and I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining in the discussion? There's already parameters listed which you'll just need to comment on if you agree or not to help build consensus and if there's anything you have you can just add to the relevant subsection. There will be a bot run once the discussion has finished that will go through all the transclusions. If you don't want to, that's ok and please let me know, thank you Steven (Editor) (talk) 20:52, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Shirt58: Thanks for the heads up! While there are many Preston's and many public schools, I dont know of any others with the specific name "Preston Public School" (usually in the US the name is such and such "Elementary School"). Also I created the article at "Preston Public School" and created he later as s redirect. Anyhow I will check with the Oklahoma Department of Education to see if that's truly the official site.
