No Problem
As you might have already seen I have a lot of interest and knowledge when it comes to Virginia Indians. As a result, while I may not have the time to add as much to the articles as I would like, I make sure to check the articles often for vandalism, etc. I check my watchlist at least once a day usually. If there is anything I can think of that you could help with I will let you know.Sarah1607 (talk) 14:45, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
- I changed the name to George Percy in the Pamunkey article as the source used for that quote, a book I own, clearly has the account it came from being Percy's. As for the 4 hand DYK about the Pamunkey Museum, that would a great idea. Is there more information you could give me on doing such a thing? Thanks!Sarah1607 (talk) 14:02, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Museums in Virginia
Hi, you should know that the preference for list articles like List of museums in Virginia is to not display the museum's website in the list if there is an existing Wikipedia article about that museum. You might add some brief descriptions of the museums, but please do not add websites if there is an existing article. However, if the website on the actual museum article is incorrect, it would be great to update that article. The reason for this preference is to have fewer places to update links. Thanks for your work. Jllm06 (talk) 15:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
Athenaeum (Alexandria, Virginia)
Thanks, I try. :-)
Seriously...I live like five miles down the river, so I know the Athenaeum well. Saw it come up while doing newpage patrol; I remembered the other article and did my magic.
Speaking of...excellent work; I've been meaning to do something like this for some time. Might it be worth adding some architectural information? It should be on the NRHP nominiation form.
Incidentally, I see you never were formally welcomed, so...

The fact was ... that the Pamunkey Indian Tribe Museum in Virginia displays a combination of artifacts and replicas in order to provide a full and authentic view of the Pamunkey people's lifestyle for the last 12,000 years?

NRHP
Aw, jeez - sorry, didn't mean to ignore you. I can be a little...spacy, let's say, on weekends.
The Virginia Department of Historic Registers has done a fairly good job of digitizing most NRHP nomination forms for Virginia sites: you can find them here. I'm not sure specifically about the two you mentioned - older forms tend to have less information on them than newer ones, I've discovered. Though that may or may not hold true. Also, if you're close to Alexandria, the Athenaeum itself has some literature available - brochures, that sort of things. Besides, it's a niec space - worth checking out now and again.
Incidentally, excellent work on all the Virginia-related topics. Insofar as I do article creation any more, a lot of what I have done has been Virginian, and it's nice to see someone else with interest in the Commonwealth editing.
Sorry for the delay; I promise I'm not usually this lackadaisical. :-) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Happy to be of help. Sic semper redlink-us, and all. :-) I didn't realize they weren't open Sunday mornings, but then I usually show up in Old Town on a Saturday afternoon, when I'm in the mood to go down there.
- Incidentally, if you ever do anything with the Sharon Indian School (speaking of Mattaponi and Pamunkey - have you ever visited either reservation?), do let me know; I have a couple of pictures from a jaunt I took down there last year. Not much, but it's a start. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Wiki at Worki
You asked:
- What do you do when you have your boss peak over your shoulder?
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While your work situation (particularly geography) may be different from mine, I have found that it is useful to have the electronic devices I use to be so oriented as to be best used when one is facing the door (great justification: the light from the window comes over my shoulder and immuminates the screen, keyboard, etc., without glare). This allows one to keep an eye on those approaching, as well as shielding the screen from their eyes. As to your # of edits on the list, you're on your own. Good luck! --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:01, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Proper use of speedy deletion
Divide et Impera,
You recently nominated Marty sammon for speedy deletion. This is, in my opinion, highly inappropriate. The article clearly establishes Sammon as a leading figure in Chicago Blues. This is the credible claim of significance mentioned in criteria A7, and the article therefore does not qualify. It is important that we don't improperly tag items for speedy deletion, as this tends to push away new editors who have valuable material to contribute. This is especially true of criteria A7, which tends to come across as a personal insult (WP:Bite applies somewhat). I have listed the page at AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marty sammon.
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please be more careful about speedy deletions in the future. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 04:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- I disagree with your interpretation on A7. If there is no notability, it should be an A7. There is no indication of reliability whatsoever, why should a guy stay on wikipedia then? The fact that you sent it to AfD shows that you agree with me. In addition there is a COI problem there. Divide et Impera (talk) 12:06, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- A7 is not about notability. A7 is not about reliable sources. A7 is not about conflict of interest. None of those three things are enough for an A7 nomination. This page makes a credible claim that this person is a leading Blues musician, and that's enough to avoid A7 speedy delete. I'm not saying the article shouldn't be deleted. I'm saying that it shouldn't be deleted before anyone's had a chance to look at it. Improper speedy deletes cause a lot of damage to Wikipedia that is never seen, because no one can fix an article if it's gone and it pushes away new editors. Looking back, a PROD might have made more sense for this page than AfD.
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William H. Brackney, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/B. Michael Watson, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Malcolm Warner and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comprehensive Rural Health Project are all pages that I rescued from speedy delete and all of them were kept after AfD discussion. All four are similar to Sammon in that the article gave a believable reason the person is notable, but the person wasn't so famous that everyone recognized their name. With Sammon possible being such a person, I wanted to be sure it had a chance to be on that list. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 12:31, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hm, it seems to me that A7 clearly states No indication of importance . How can that not be about notability? And how can notability be established with no reliable sources? And... there is no damage to wikipedia: an admin can userfy a deleted article at any time, should proper sources be brought. Divide et Impera (talk) 14:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

News and progress from RfA reform 2011
RfA reform: ...and what you can do now. |
|---|
|
(You are receiving this message because you are either a task force member, or you have contributed to recent discussions on any of these pages.) The number of nominations continues to nosedive seriously, according to these monthly figures. We know why this is, and if the trend continues our reserve of active admins will soon be underwater. Wikipedia now needs suitable editors to come forward. This can only be achieved either through changes to the current system, a radical alternative, or by fiat from elsewhere. A lot of work is constantly being done behind the scenes by the coordinators and task force members, such as monitoring the talk pages, discussing new ideas, organising the project pages, researching statistics and keeping them up to date. You'll also see for example that we have recently made tables to compare how other Wikipedias choose their sysops, and some tools have been developed to more closely examine !voters' habits. The purpose of WP:RFA2011 is to focus attention on specific issues of our admin selection process and to develop RfC proposals for solutions to improve them. For this, we have organised the project into dedicated sections each with their own discussion pages. It is important to understand that all Wikipedia policy changes take a long time to implement whether or not the discussions appear to be active - getting the proposals right before offering them for discussion by the broader community is crucial to the success of any RfC. Consider keeping the pages and their talk pages on your watchlist; do check out older threads before starting a new one on topics that have been discussed already, and if you start a new thread, please revisit it regularly to follow up on new comments. The object of WP:RFA2011 is not to make it either easier or harder to become an admin - those criteria are set by those who !vote at each RfA. By providing a unique venue for developing ideas for change independent of the general discussion at WT:RFA, the project has two clearly defined goals:
The fastest way is through improvement to the current system. Workspace is however also available within the project pages to suggest and discuss ideas that are not strictly within the remit of this project. Users are invited to make use of these pages where they will offer maximum exposure to the broader community, rather than individual projects in user space. We already know what's wrong with RfA - let's not clutter the project with perennial chat. RFA2011 is now ready to propose some of the elements of reform, and all the task force needs to do now is to pre-draft those proposals in the project's workspace, agree on the wording, and then offer them for central discussion where the entire Wikipedia community will be more than welcome to express their opinions in order to build consensus. New tool Check your RfA !voting history! Since the editors' RfA !vote counter at X!-Tools has been down for a long while, we now have a new RfA Vote Counter to replace it. A significant improvement on the former tool, it provides a a complete breakdown of an editor's RfA votes, together with an analysis of the participant's voting pattern. Are you ready to help? Although the main engine of RFA2011 is its task force, constructive comments from any editors are always welcome on the project's various talk pages. The main reasons why WT:RfA was never successful in getting anything done are that threads on different aspects of RfA are all mixed together, and are then archived where nobody remembers them and where they are hard to find - the same is true of ad hoc threads on the founder's talk page. |

weird formatting at RFA
Hi, your neutral !vote at Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Dayewalker#Neutral is formatted a little weird. Why did you format it as a reply to yourself?

Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!
WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:24, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:15, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
