Audubon Mural Project

Congratulatiions on your excellent work and beating me to the punch. I might do a couple of the artist's pages whose work is included in the project. If you have the time it might be good to list in a new section of the mural project page all tbe artists whose work is included. Thanks again stupendous.

Thanks, User:Masterknighted, I'd love to cooperate with you on this.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Finding content for Presidential Village - thanks

I know you get a lot of grief for...stuff...concerning AfDs, but I wanted to thank you for finding an obscure citation for the Presidential Village article (even though it was my nominiation). I paid to get the entire 1909 newspaper article. It was unknown to the town's historical society, and is helping fill in historical gaps. David notMD (talk) 13:54, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Western guilt (concept) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Western guilt (concept) is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Western guilt (concept) 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.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:46, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

WP:AFD Discussion

User:E.M.Gregory, there is currently a discussion on whether or not an article that I created should be deleted; see: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jewish etiquette. The issues that were initially raised which prompted the request for deletion have since been addressed and corrected. If you think the article is now worthy of being retained, please voice your opinion by writing "Keep." Thanks.Davidbena (talk) 02:51, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

fwiw, this is very clear canvassing. E.M.Gregory you should probably not go !vote now. Jytdog (talk) 03:02, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Well, if it is viewed as "canvassing," rather than a "friendly notice," I would also advise him not to post any comment there. Be well.Davidbena (talk) 03:26, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

It is not even a little ambiguous. Jytdog (talk) 17:04, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Well, with my latest comment, it should be clear that I am only interested in his honest opinion, or none at all. G-d bless.Davidbena (talk) 19:19, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing

Hello, E.M.Gregory. I've seen you editing recently and you seem knowledgeable about Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines; currently Misplaced Pages needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere 09:47, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

My behavior

You have seen me participating in AfDs of terrorism. If you have some free time then please consider adding your comments on my behavior. Thanks. Störm (talk) 14:51, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Happy turkey day

New page reviewer granted

Hello E.M.Gregory. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Anarchyte (work | talk) 05:52, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/CAGE_(organisation)

Thanks for words of support. I had been violently attacked for providing information available on Cage own web page! The content of the page actually is based of POV of the editors, not on factual evidence. They presumed that Cage is not lead by bunch of extreme Islamists that aim at paralysis of West effort fighting Islamic terror against the evidence. Charity organization CAGE demands withdrawal of UN troops from Africa! What kind of charity is it? CAGE is only showcase of inability of Western legal system to deal with political wing of the Islamists. Cautious (talk) 10:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Assuming good faith

Hello! You seem like a nice person but you have changed my signature into something that claims I'm an SPA. You also made the edit summary comment "puppet". Please see WP:AGF and WP:NPA. Please assume good faith. If you had bothered to look at my contribs, you would see that I am not an SPA. Badgering people who make a fair point is not in the spirit of the encyclo. 198.58.171.47 (talk) 15:54, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

• Note that this IP/SPA started editing on 9 November, is highly fluent in Wikispeak, and is editing Seph Lawless and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Seph Lawless (2nd nomination), two of the most IP, sock and meatpuppet-laden pages that it has ever been my misfortune to happen on.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:01, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

• Me again, the IP (mY IP reset). You have zero evidence of any ill activity on my part-- because there is none. Also, your argument is lousy: you edited those pages as well, which are "two of the most IP, sock and meatpuppet-laden pages that it has ever been my misfortune to happen on." Misplaced Pages has a policy of assuming good faith for a reason. Calling people sockpuppets and meatpuppets without any evidence is just sad, and a very weak form of ad hominem argument. Stop with the name calling. 104.163.155.42 (talk) 20:01, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

delsort

Hi, Just letting you know you might want to add delsort to your scripts. Then, at each AFD you can sort just by clicking on the delsort tab and typing in all the different categories. You can read how to do it at: User:Enterprisey/delsortSir Joseph 20:41, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Category:1768 establishments in New York (state)

Hi, would you object to my moving Category:1768 establishments in New York (state) to Category:1768 establishments in New York? This should fix the current red links; and neighbouring categories do not use "(state)" until 1776, see Category:Establishments in New York (state) by year. (Procedurally, with your consent, I can move the page under WP:C2E.) – Fayenatic London 23:49, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

• Yes, Fayenatic, please do fix it. I did wonder but couldn't find the non-"state" category.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:51, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks... Ah, the links were not automatic as I imagined. I'll do more work on that hierarchy to get more links working. – Fayenatic London 00:21, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
• OK, I think I have done all that is required on that set now. A lot more links between categories are now working. – Fayenatic London 12:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Grammar fix

My latest additions probably need some grammar fixes thanks.--Shrike (talk) 12:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

3RR

I would advice you to self-revert your latest revert. If you have an issue with providing a page number to verify the citation, take it to the talk page.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:47, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

• Did you just lure me into doing 3 reverts because you were tag-teaming to remove a perfectly valid source at Antisemitism in the Labour Party? Never mind, I can see that yoru did. Did you read the book? Did you look for the page number? I read it lase fall and I know who I lent my copy to. there must be a proverb about loaned books that never return. I added this source to The Left's Jewish Problem back when I created that page, And, true, I did not use a page number. Instead I sourced it to a book review. I have asked you to stop harassing me before, and I sincerely wish that you would.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

• I actually hate fishing but that's besides the point. You included the improperly cited book yet you want me to go and find the synthed material for you in that said book? It is up to you to back any contributions with reliable and properly cited sources. Now please stop playing a victim and either fix yet another mistake or reapply the tag until you or, more realistically, someone else can.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:12, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

• The cited materiel is in the book, which says what I cited it as saying. Please AGF and have a little patience. the sorucing is valid even if the page number is missing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:21, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

• So I should AGF for an editor who deliberately misrepresents sources, engages in synth, bludgeons everyone they disagree with, accuses anyone who brings these claims to attention of harassing them, says I think less of the Jewish people (with no idea of my religious beliefs or background), and, most recently, makes "contributions" with incomplete citations? Sure I'll AGF but remember it isn't a suicide pact. Have a good evening.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:16, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

FYI: WP:Articles for deletion/7700 16th Street NW — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 05:52, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi

Thank you for your input. And yes, also comparing AfD rationales as suggested by the nominator are very subjective. You can find some sentence that looks the same etc. But so can be said about hundreds of other rationales for other editors probably. There are basically no case here. Anyways I will try to move on from it and ignore it further. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
• Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!

Outreach and Invitations:

• If you know other editors with a good understanding of Misplaced Pages policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

• A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
• Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update:

• ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
• The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
• To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Misplaced Pages talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Rorer

Do you have his birth date and death location from the obit? Are you able to download it? I want to add it to Familysearch and update Wikidata with the information. Do you have an account at Familysearch? --RAN (talk) 17:44, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

HEY, expanding article from the obit now. You might think about requesting access to a good news archive, Misplaced Pages has the power ot enable that for editors.RANE.M.Gregory (talk) 17:46, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Which available through Misplaced Pages news service do you recommend? --RAN (talk) 18:18, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

I have no idea. I just know that this sort of access exists. I usually use proquest, to which I have access. But I don't even know it it is one of the services available to Misplaced Pages editors.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:22, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

• If you need more help researching the biographies that Rusf10 nominated AFDs from this week, let me know, I think there are 10 in the AFD queue, someone will have to check the contribution history. All his recent contributions are to AFD, so maybe he does not have access to reference works. Let me know, and I will work on them before vacation. --RAN (talk) 18:57, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

At a recent AfD, you expressed interest in this page, should I ever write it. I'm travelling over the next few weeks, and have gone ahead and uploaded my draft, which isn't quite as cleaned up as I might like, but is probably at a stage where it is not a net-negative for the project. If you are interested, I hope you read and enjoy it. Smmurphy 07:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Jesus Fabian Gonzalez

Jesus Fabian Gonzalez needs some expansion, and incorporation into wildfire article which currently make no mention of any arson arrests. There appears to be a strong effort to whitewash this incident as not notable and not massive cover up on the part of officials and media of what could possibly be an act of domestic terrorism, and release of a dangerous immigrant.
