Disambiguation link notification for May 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of longest wars, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chadian Civil War (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for all your help! It passed. If there's anything else that we can collaborate on, please let me know. (I'm looking for content to write) Eddie891 _Work 22:34, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Hey, no problem at all Eddie891. It was fun. Umm...Reading Railroad massacre has been on my list of things to do for probably a year, and it's part of the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 articles (currently 1 FA and 2 GAs ), and it's a real contender for a WP:FT if we could manage to get a few more articles promoted. Might be a good time to revisit the topic. McCabe is pure gold for most of these articles and makes the writing easy. GMG 22:53, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Do you think it should be moved to Reading railroad strike, to fit with the other, comparable articles? Eddie891 _Work 11:17, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

It really depends on whether this is a common name for this event in particular. I honestly haven't read up on it in long enough to know off the top of my head. GMG 11:42, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

• Today I 5x improved it and DYK nominated. I don't really know how much more work it needs to get to GA. What do you think?Eddie891 _Work 00:08, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Well it's surely a heckuvan improvement. I meant to work some on it last week and got sidetracked by an FAC, and a giant (and ongoing) Library of Congress dump on Commons. I would say that these have been articles where contemporary newspaper accounts have so far been really helpful in getting to the nitty gritty details. The whole thing was terribly scandalous at the time, and on the front page of every paper in the nation, especially keeping in mind that right at this time, to the day, Pittsburgh was still burning, and many major cities were either actively rioting, or dearly threatening to. It's all super interesting, and almost strange that you never learn anything about it in school. GMG 01:26, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

• Reading Railroad Massacre GA passed. Thanks for all your help! (I suppose it was mostly you.)Eddie891 _Work 12:32, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Hey, thanks for motivating me to pick the subject back up Eddie891. Four down, four to go. So halfway to a WP:GT. Still have St. Louis, Shamokin, Chicago, and the main article. St. Louis needs written. Shamokin needs almost entirely rewritten. Chicago is in the ball park. Rewriting the main should be easy once the child articles are done. Pretty much just copy, paste, and cite the leads from the other articles, and then provide some big picture follow up which should be fairly easy too. GMG 12:52, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Do you want to divide and conquer? I feel much more secure in the topic, and could probably write most of a ga now. Eddie891 _Work 12:54, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Umm...I dunno. I think it worked pretty well on Reading where you laid down the framework for the article and I pretty much just added some meat to the bones of what you've already written. It worked much more smoothly than Scranton, Pittsburgh or Baltimore, each of which probably took three months or more to complete. Lol. You started writing on Reading 19 May, and it took us exactly nine days to reach GA. I'd say that's pretty freakin stellar performance! GMG 12:59, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Oh yeah, I also still have a massive freaking mess on Commons to clean up, on the order of like 500-700 images that need cropped, deleted, and/or renamed. I've so far gotten through...maybe 200 of them. So you've definitely got some time to work away on your own for a bit, and we can huddle back up when you think you're in a good place.

Ingrid Bergman

Great minds think alike! I was just going to put File:Ingrid Bergman, Gaslight 1944.jpg in the article when I found you had already done it, just minutes after I uploaded that image to Commons. clpo13_(talk) 17:47, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Latest file feed can sometimes lead to gratuitously stepping on other people's toes. My bad. So many batch uploads the last several weeks from the early 20th century I don't hardly even check who uploaded them anymore. GMG 18:04, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Oh, you didn't step on my toes. I just thought it was funny how someone ended up using the image so quickly and right where I intended it to be used. clpo13_(talk) 18:30, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Incidentally, is there a reason you're not using c:COM:CROPTOOL? It takes care of most of the particulars for you. GMG 18:54, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

For that particular image, I cropped it from an old revision at File:Ingrid Bergman - Gaslight 44.jpg (), so CropTool wouldn't have worked unless I reverted to that revision. I do usually use it since, as you said, it handles everything else. clpo13_(talk) 19:01, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Philo logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:Philo logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:58, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
