Harborfields High School Notables

I am trying withing the rules to properly have myself relisted in the Notables section of the Harborfields HS page. I do not have a personal page yet here but I do have a website and quite a few external new mentions. I am certain that I am the only polo player to graduate from HHS. Personal page http://flatoutfarm.com/about.html FRom the US Polo assoc. https://www.uspolo.org/certified-polo-instructors/ken-cresswell

https://www.visitaikensc.com/whattodo/detail/polo_lessons_at_fire_star_polo   I ran the 1st polo match in Turks CAicos  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10205902850875908&set=a.2518082596889&type=3&theater    This all being said. I believe I was wrongly removed from the listing.

Thank you for any help Ken Cresswell — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polodude10 (talk • contribs) 17:46, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ken Cresswell Let me explain that there are no "personal pages" on Wikipedia: there are articles about people who satisfy the "notability" criteria, basically "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". A personal website, or an entry in the website of a sporting organization you are a member of, do not qualify as independent sources. With all respect to your sporting exploits, Wikipedia is not the place for you to try to publicize them. This essay: "Wikipedia is not about YOU" expresses the matter bluntly: Bhunacat10 (talk), 09:56, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prettyboy_Reservoir

The subject article has an error. The Prettyboy Dam does flow into Gunpowder Falls. However, part of the page confuses 'Falls' with 'River.'

This can be excused, but for the reference that the river below the dam separates Baltimore and Harford counties.

It does not.

Gunpowder Falls is wholly within Baltimore County.

When Gunpowder Falls empties into the tidewater portion (just east of the US 40 bridge), it is then known as Gunpowder River. At that point, the 'river,' (again, the tidewater portion) does become the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.

To sum it up, Gunpowder 'Falls' is wholly in Baltimore County; Gunpowder 'River' is the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.

Pop tunes named "Once in a While"

I am not sure if this is the proper place to make this statement but the page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_in_a_While_(1937_song), is at least partially in error. I believe there may be more errors associated with this song in Wikipedia. The page mentions the 1937 classic "Once in a While" as being the earliest song with this name and it lists some artists who covered the tune. There were many artists even in its original year, including Louis Armstrong who covered it. However, there was a (different) 1927 tune by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five that also was named "Once in a While". It was recorded in 1927. You can find it on you tube. When I first heard the 1927 tune I figured it must be a strongly modified fast jazz version of the 1937 tune. However, it was recorded 10 years earlier and, apparently, was a hit. It is hard to believe (although possible) that another songwriter would have written a ballad with the same title only 10 years later. Surely, I thought, he would have been familiar with the 1927 version. I can find no information on the 1927 version but a recording of it is on youtube and the New Orleans band, Tuba Skinny, plays it (quite well I might add). That recording, some 90 years later is also on youtube. I have found no lyrics for the 1927 tune and if they existed they would be hard to fit into a fast traditional jazz tune.

The only explanations I can come up with are 1. Louis and his Hot Five created their tune in 1927 but, knowing that most similar tunes were derived from earlier tunes, I find that hard to believe. or 2. The 1937 ballad was written before 1927 and had been unpopular and "lost". This is also hard to believe.

Any comments or help will be appreciated. Thank you, conny roussos (talk) 01:24, 27 April 2019 (UTC) Constantine (Conny) Roussos[reply]

Conny Roussos, thanks for raising the question. The first place to go with it would actually be the talk page for that article. To take it further, you or some other editor would have to find published sources referring to the 1927 song. Without such sources, your interesting deductions would I'm afraid amount to "original research", which we don't do here. Perhaps a post on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jazz or Wikipedia:Reference desk/Entertainment may elicit some help: Bhunacat10 (talk), 10:06, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Otto Kade

Hilf! I made a mistake when linking this new article to its original German one which should be Otto Kade (Musikwissenschaftler) [de]

Please, can someone help me out? Thanks in advance LouisAlain (talk) 07:22, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Review and updates

Hello, Wiki editors, I noticed that the Partners + Napier company page has outdated information. Would like to respectfully work through an editor and follow proper process to have this updated with neutral factual changes only. I've listed requested changes and cited sources through 3rd party media coverage, etc. Appreciate the help and any feedback. Regards, Gregg

All requests above are directly cited in 3/23/19 Democrat and Chronicle article here:https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/money/business/2019/03/23/partners-napier-moves-over-160-employees-into-new-metropolitan-space/3246036002/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreggDinino (talk • contribs) 22:17, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gregg, thanks for your intention to follow Wikipedia process here. I've copied your request to Talk:Partners and Napier, which is the correct page for you to raise any concerns about the article. If you wish to make further edit requests at any time, our page Wikipedia:Edit requests gives full details on the recommended way to go about it. Oh, and would you please "sign" any further posts you make, to make it easy to see who to reply to. Regards: Bhunacat10 (talk), 10:53, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising Nicotine Products-VUSE/ALTO

98.165.51.189 (talk) 21:08, 6 May 2019 (UTC)I was very upset and disappointed that you are using HLN or any television network to promote any Nicotine product as you did with VUSE/ALTO on 5/6/19 at 12:50pm. No matter how you try to disguise it you are promoting a very harmful DRUG. I thought there was a law about not promoting any drugs on advertisements? Please re look at your sources for getting money for your network you shouldn't have to go this low![reply]

It's unclear why you are posting this criticism on a Wikipedia editor's assistance board. Wikipedia does not promote any products on television. Please ask a question that requires editing help. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 23:31, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There used to be a More Eyes/Editors request form on WP?

I'm a returning editor and remember it from about 8 years ago. Has it been deprecated for WP:Third Opinion? I've looked through half a dozen pages and can't find it or anything similar.

In short, this page has awful readability for such a fascinating and important subject. I've tried to engage on the Talk Page with minimal response. WykiP (talk) 21:08, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I would try to ask for more input at one or more of the WikiProjects linked near the top of the talkpage. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:56, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding article

Hi, could somebody improve this article Akpan Utuk by breaking up it's middle section and adding and infobox to it? Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:18, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Davidgoodheart, the best thing to do would be to leave your request on the article's talk page, and also on the talk pages of the creator and/or recent contributors. Or attempt it yourself ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:40, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of enclaves and exclaves - needs help with definition

I'm asking here since the talk page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography are inactive. This is not about content disputes.

On List of enclaves and exclaves#Enclaves that are also exclaves, List of enclaves and exclaves#Enclaves that are not exclaves and List of enclaves and exclaves#Exclaves that are not enclaves, I have added some definitions, but I would appreciate it if someone could check their accuracy and expand the details a bit more.

On that page, only semi-enclaves and semi-exclaves, pene-enclaves and pene-exclaves (inaccessible districts) have definitions. --Chelston-temp-1 (talk) 12:22, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chelston-temp-1 It's an interesting article and appears comprehensive. But rather than rely on your fellow-Wikipedia editors (sorry you've drawn a blank: there are not many who are still genuinely here to "build an encyclopedia"), if you have specialist knowledge of the field could you not seek out some published sources for the definitions and cite them in the article?: Bhunacat10 (talk), 13:24, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Bhunacat10: I don't have specialized knowledge, unfortunately, that's why I'm seeking assistance. --Chelston-temp-1 (talk) 13:32, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chelston-temp-1 I don't quite understand Bhunacat10's comment: there are not many who are still genuinely here to "build an encyclopedia" - he's not a particularly prolific editor himself. However, niche articles may not receive as much attetion as other more popular topics. You may get more resonance to your request if you post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:59, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I took it that the questioner would already have tried a post at that WikiProject before concluding that it was inactive. Meanwhile it's odd that an editor who hadn't been seen on this board since January would show up now to make a disparaging remark about a colleague (total 30,000 edits and 50 new articles if you care to check my userpage): Bhunacat10 (talk), 08:29, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Page Undeletion

Vijay Kumbhar (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

A page with the above name has been reported as deleted. It was active from 2014 to October 2017. Around early 2018 it was not found. The reason for deletion is unknown. The personality whom the said article describes is a social worker in Pune, Maharashtra as well as an RTI activist. We request to discover the reason for deletion and the process to undelete the same.

My name is Padmashree Ghangale and I am a new user. On behalf of Vijay Kumbhar I have initiated this request.

Hello PadmashreeGhangale, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see you have discovered the process, Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. For the reason, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vijay Kumbhar. If you intend to edit WP on behalf of Vijay Kumbhar, please take the time to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

Based on this googlesearch [3] it may very well be possible to create a WP-article about him that survives, but I have not actually checked any sources. WP:NOENG may be of interest. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:56, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your prompt response. May we please request to undelete the page. There are numerous reliable sources through which we can confirm the notability of this person. His presence on the internet is of value to the Indian people who are pursuing their right to information. Below are all the channels that have published his work over the years. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23][24] [25] [26] [27]

Please advice how may we proceed with undeletion of the said page.
