Bath School disaster TFA nom worksheet{{subst:TFAR nom | article = {{subst:Bath School disaster}} | blurb = The '''Bath School disaster''' was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by [[Andrew Kehoe]] on May{{nbs}}18, 1927, in [[Bath Township, Michigan]]. The attacks killed 38 [[elementary school]]children and 6 adults, and injured at least 58 other people. On the morning of May 18 - having previously murdered his wife at their farm - Kehoe set off almost simultaneous explosions at his home and at the Bath Consolidated School. His explosives destroyed the farm's buildings and ripped through the north wing of the Bath Consolidated School building. As rescuers began working at the school, Kehoe drove up to the schoolyard and detonated [[dynamite]] inside his [[Fragmentation (weaponry)|shrapnel]]-filled truck. The truck explosion killed Kehoe and several bystanders. During the rescue and recovery efforts, searchers discovered an additional 500 [[Pound (mass)|pounds]] (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and [[pyrotol]] in the south wing of the school that was set to explode at the same time as the initial explosions in the north wing; Kehoe had apparently intended to destroy the entire school and kill everyone in it. | image = Bath School disaster showing front of school.png | caption = Front view of the Bath School building after the bombing | promoted = March 29, 2020 | editors = {{u|Shearonink}} | recents = No recent similar articles that I could find | reasons = The anniversary date of the disaster is May 18.

I want to add a time-stamp to a subst thingy I made a while ago but (From Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), see this edit as pertains to User:Shearonink/HolidayHere's the page: User:Shearonink/Holiday. I created this "Card" 3 years ago but was looking at it today prior to starting to send it out and I realized - eek! - that there is no time-stamp. I am somewhat tech-averse, so I do not understand how to add a time-stamp (heh, or even if it is possible). If some of you tech experts could take a look at the code and tell me how to fix it I'd appreciate that. PLEASE do not go ahead and just fix it yourself.

Arranged by MontroseArranged by Montrose - is this article correct? it is very confusing... Was wondering myself about the "and Jackson received schooling from two nearby priests" (especially that "nearby priests" part...) so I went hunting for when it was added to the article. It's been present in the Jackson article since April 2017 when it was added with this edit [2]. Does Wilentz's 2005 biography say *anything* specifically about Jackson's early schooling? If he did that could certainly be of interest...

Nice work, Shearonink. Just one thing: although you added the appropriate template to the talk page and left the wikiprojects in place, you forgot to actually redirect the school talk page to the disaster talk page. I did that just now, although to tell you the truth I don't know if it is actually required. I just don't like to leave the talk page of a redirect behind; seems like kind of an orphan. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:57, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Another way to do linkage for articles* {{slink|Lost Cause of the Confederacy|Song of the South}} gives the reader this instead of * [[Lost Cause of the Confederacy#Song of the South]] + this. Bot adds publication dates to undated material
The first one is coming from one of the items in the HTML source (Ctrl + U in Firefox): <meta property="og:updated_time" content="2019-06-17T16:47:08-04:00" />
<meta property="article:published_time" content="2018-07-17T11:12:23-04:00" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2019-06-17T16:47:08-04:00" />
<meta name="dcterms.date" content="2018-07-17T11:12-04:00" />
The second one has similar: <meta property="article:published_time" content="2017-01-25T14:57:52-05:00" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2022-05-04T10:25:57-04:00" />
(The bot should probably prefer the modified_time/updated_time if it is the source responsible, and if it's getting it from Citoid or other ext service maybe an upstream notification would be valuable.) This metadata is deliberately in that location for the purpose of bots and other systems. Izno (talk) 21:31, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Just got a Bot notice about the March AFC Backlog Elimination Drive. I was going to sign up for the AFCBuddy, but noticed something weird about the linkage... the links all go to the January 2013 drive instead of March, so it looks like the Buddy is out of date. I see that another person has signed up today for the March drive and put January 2013 into their signup... Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 15:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- It seems that the previous backlog drive page was simply copied and updated so that it could be used for the March backlog (Actually, the default signup link still asked users to create a January backlog subpage). The AFCBuddy page had the same issue - since i only learned about the backlog drive when the bot send me a message i hadn't changed the signup page to accommodate sign-ups for the new drive. Either way, that issue should be fixed now. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 18:30, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

- I'm not sure what the Buddy is supposed to do, but as I've been doing my AfC Reviews, I've been manually transferring the Review-links to my Backlog Drive page myself. So far as I can tell from looking at the editing history on the other participants' Drive pages, everyone else with numbered entries on their Drive pages is doing the same.

Thanks for the offer of the Teahouse, but I don't think I'm going to bother helping with Wikipedia anymore. I feel overwhelmed by the regulations. And given my lack of access to a decent academic library, I don't have the resources necessary to adequately "prove" anything. The other part that makes this very difficult is that a whole lot of knowledge with hypnotists is passed down orally, so wikipedia's reliance on written documentation makes things difficult. Scwalsh (talk) 20:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Ohlson 38
Sorry, I give up and will not continue to submit an article on the matter.
Here was your comment, please see my additoons in Italics: Even though there are a number of references for this draft, in my opinion the notability of this particular boat design has not been proven. If the creator of this draft is interested in these boats then perhaps an article about the designer might be do-able...after all, it is the *person* who is in the Encyclopedia of Yacht Designers. Comment: This comment lacks relevance. a) The information on Einar Ohlson is scarce to say the least, otherwise I would have quoted more. I would love to write an article in the the designer. I am in contact with the family with no benefit as they are not able to share more. The reference to the Encyclepedia does not make any sense as I was the contributor. b) Whether the reviewer sees the relevance of this boat seems to spring from his personal opinion rather than expertise.

No reviewer before has identified this as an issue so the review process seems to show a lack of constancy.
Sorry, this is a deeply frustrating exercise! I have published more than 10 scientific papers via peer review process and I have never experienced a process like this. I repeatedly get different reviewers who do not even have the courtesy to respond to questions nor seem to value what has been addressed before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohlson38 (talk • contribs) 15:32, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- Wikipedia can sometimes be an exercise in frustration because it is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, so any single one of us can have a different answer than another editor as we all can possibly have different levels of experience and different understandings of policies and guidelines. Anyone who takes the time to Review AfC submissions is a volunteer as are all the other editors you will come into contact with on the project - people who edit Wikipedia live in many different timezones and many different countries, they have lives that sometimes interfere with responding to messages or concerns. All that being said, on to your comments:
- Articles must be supported by multiple, independent reliable sources. I was trying to help you out here, saying that if you cannot find sufficient content to support an article on the boat, perhaps you could find content to support an article on its designer. The sailboat data references are data *only*, nothing about what makes this particular boat or its designer notable. Why this boat? Why not his other designs? Why not the designer himself? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it relies on what has been published elsewhere in reliable sources. If there are not enough sources to support an article about the designer, then there's not much to be done. Wikipedia requires sources to protect the subject, to protect its readers, to protect the information...because Wikipedia relies on the concept of verifiability. If anyone can write anything and they don't have to have enough sources, then Wikipedia would not be an encyclopedia, it would be a simple blog.
- So, the content that I mentioned is from the Ohlson38 website, I am sorry other Reviewers did not catch it. Wikipedia takes others' right to their own work very seriously and requires written permission to re-use cut&paste content from other sources. If you still wanted to work on this draft and use the content from the Ohlson38 website, again, this is what you should do:
- Go to Consent form for content to be re-used on Wikipedia and look it over.
- Copy the following text and fill out the form as follows:

- I acknowledge that I grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws.
- I am aware that I always retain copyright of my work, and retain the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen. Modifications others make to the work will not be attributed to me.

- SIGN HERE: DATE, NAME OF THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER
- Send the above filled-out text/form to: permissions-commons|wikimedia.org
- And, yes, Wikipedia is a completely different kind of animal than writing articles for a peer-reviewed journal or perhaps writing an essay. I hope this helps. And, please remember, even if in your opinion it doesn't?... I did just take about a half-hour to type it up and try to help you. Shearonink (talk) 16:35, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
