Substantive conversations about articles should be on those talk pages

User:Djflem/Archive 2011/2012
User:Djflem/Archive 2013 /2014 DJ Flem can you please help me, this is Doriden writing to you from someone else's device, it says my account is blocked since May 21, but it is not on the Auto block list. I didn't do anything wrong, can you please help me, this is obviously a mistake.

, I can follow this as a professional internet user and political observer. I know that “woke mind virus” is a term of art for the (condescending and misguided) idea that progressive views on race and gender are an outside contagion threatening the minds of young people who might otherwise reject structural explanations of racial inequality and embrace a traditional vision of the gender binary. I know that “cultural Marxism” is a right-wing buzzword meant to sound scary and imposing.

To a normal person, on the other hand, this language is borderline unintelligible. It doesn’t tell you anything; it doesn’t obviously mean anything; and it’s quite likely to be far afield of your interests and concerns.

DeSantis is a regular offender when it comes to speaking in the jargon of culture war-obsessed conservatives, but he’s not the only one. And it’s not just a problem of jargon.

St. John's Park

Hi. I've reverted your undiscussed move of this article to "St. John's Rotary". Please discuss on the talk page and get a consensus for the move. Thanks. BMK (talk) 22:22, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that creating duplicate articles is not allowed, per WP:FORK. For this reason I have sent your Holland Tunnel Rotary, which substantial duplicates -- without proper accreditation -- the current article St. John's Park, back to your user space. If you move it again, I will bring this matter to the attention of admins. Please note that per WP:OWN you cannot own or control St. John's Park, and when you moved it without discussion, and I moved it back asking for a discussion and consensus, you cannot behave as if it belongs to you, or that you can unilaterally decide which is the proper title and focus for the article. That discussion is ongoing, and you move of the article from your user space is an attempt to override the consensus forming there that "St. John's Park" is the proper title for the article. Please stop screwing around, and follow the consensus on the talk page. BMK (talk) 01:45, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do not revert the article without a consensus to do so, per WP:BRD. BMK (talk) 22:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop just making stuff up. Duplicate articles aren't allowed, yours was a deliberate duplicate, a "fork", so I moved it back to your userspace from whence it came. I don't need a "consensus" to do that. I'm just following policy, but if I did need a consensus, the one at St. John's Park which says that the focus of an article should be the history of the land and not the existence of a circular cluster of 5 highway esits, and that the proper title of that article is "St. John's Park" and not "St. John's Rotary" or "Holland Tunnel Rotary" -- that real consensus would do just fine.

In the meantime take a look at this pages:

Disambiguating articles

Hi Djflem. You recently moved Michele Brown to Michele Brown (athlete) but you haven't fixed the incoming links to the page. As a result, no article now point to the athlete article! When making disambiguation pages, it is a requirement to fix the incoming links, otherwise the article move offers no disambiguation improvement for the encyclopedia. Can you fix these links to the new target? Thanks. SFB 15:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! I took out the easy ones that linked through templates. The remaining links to fix are visible on the "incoming links" I linked to above. Thanks. SFB 17:13, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hudson County Freeholder template

We had an edit conflict on Template:NJ Hudson County Freeholders and it appears that in trying to get the changes in I undid a change you had made. Because some of the districts cross multiple municipalities and others don't, I'm not sure that it's evident what the place name is at the end of the parentheses. If you still feel it's obvious, feel free to remove away. Again, my apologies for stepping on your edit. Alansohn (talk) 22:15, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop editing against consensus on St. John's Park

The consensus of the commenters on Talk:St. John's Park is that the focus of that article should be on the history of the square and park which was turned into a railroad terminal, and not on the 5 exits from the Holland Tunnel that are there now. The consensus also is that the article should be named "St. John' Park" and not "Holland Tunnel Rotary". The consensus is that the "rotary" is not notable, and the history of the land is. Almost all of your recent edits on St. John's Park have been in complete contradiction to this consensus, in fact, you deny there is any consensus at all, when it is clear and unambiguous. Continued editing against a talk page consensus is disruptive and can be considered to be tendentious, and could lead to your being blocked from editing. Please stop. I see from your talk page that you've done good work elsewhere, so please find something else to do and give up this campaign of non-consensual editing. BMK (talk) 02:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know I do good work, that's why the botch job promoting a non-neutral POV on St.John's Park is offensive.Djflem (talk) 22:44, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I will admit that the current article does a poor job of focusing on a bunch of non-notable highway exits, as you would like it to (talk about a POV!!), and I'll take full credit for that, since the consensus on the talk page firmly rejected your desire to move the article in that direction. You keep trying to skew it that way, but as long as the talk page consensus is clear, you're not going to be able to, thankfully. BMK (talk) 04:17, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, your understanding of WP:WEIGHT is wrong, your understanding of WP:LEAD is wrong, your understanding of WP:N is wrong, your understanding of WP:V is wrong, your understanding of WP:OR is wrong, your understanding of pretty much every policy you've thrown at me in this dispute has been faulty. You would probably benefit from taking a bit of a break and re-reading some policy pages to refresh your understanding of them. BMK (talk) 04:23, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Now we can add WP:Vandalism to the policies you don't understand. BMK (talk) 23:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing on St. John's Park

Hi Djflem. BMK asked me to take a look at the recent discussion on the talk page of St. John's Park[1]. I did and I'm afraid I have to agree with BMK that your approach is quite a bit less than desirable. For example, you accuse BMK of avoiding substantive discussion and of stonewalling[2] when, by all appearances, he not only initiated the discussion itself but also seems to be going out of his way to accommodate at least some of your preferred text. Your acceptance of his offer (offer and acceptance) was astoundingly grudging. The use of boldface at the bottom (Are you going to ...) of this page is also unnecessarily peremptory. I note also that he has the support of Epicgenius who, and I know this from experience, doesn't always agree with BMK. I don't know who is in the right or wrong here but - looking solely at the talk page comments - it doesn't look like you're going to get consensus for your views on that page. You might want to think about moving up the WP:DR chain and seeking other opinions, for example for whether the lead is contradictory or contains OR. Otherwise you're going to find yourself on the wikipedia path of trouble. --regentspark (comment) 02:43, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Djflem, may I suggest that you focus on something else for a bit (a couple of months would be good). Reading your last post (this one), I think you're getting caught in the quintessential Wikipedia trap where you're losing the big picture (large massive encyclopedia) and getting stuck in the trees ('my' view on St. John's Park is the only correct one). The best way to deal with this is to back off and go elsewhere. The article isn't going anywhere and will still be there a few months from now at which point you'll be able to approach the article with a fresh mind. Like I say above, you're entering a tunnel that experience tells me has only one exit - a block - but you still have time to back out of it. --regentspark (comment) 14:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded on your talk page, but am posting this here: At issue is matter of original research that is seen in a glaring contradiction in the piece for which I have asked for clarification [3]. As is normal Wikipeida verification procedure, when a claim is made the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. BMK has been asked provide a citation. The response to date has been (to use your word) "grudging"; somewhere between obfuscation and complete refusal. I have taken your suggestion and sought input in another forum, namely Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#St. John's Park. Hopefully a response there will lend some guidance as to how to proceed beyond the current reticence.Djflem (talk) 09:03, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a good step so thank you for that. Looking at the talk page dispassionately, it doesn't look like you're going to get support for your changes on the article itself so looking for venues outside the article talk page is the best way of avoiding the appearance of tendentiousness. You probably need to be more focused in your questions - I find your talk page posts unclear and puzzling, which, I think, may be a part of the problem - but perhaps that's just me so let's see what comes out of all this. Moving one step at a time is probably the way to go since you're not getting traction at the article talk page itself. --regentspark (comment) 14:09, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Map at Tappan page

Dear User:Djflem. Sorry about the rodeo over the image caption at the Tappan tribe page. The fact that the original map is oriented a perfect 90-degrees clockwise (of the normal N-S orientation of modern maps), and the excerpt was so small, threw me off utterly – and I know that area, its waters, and communities well. I had to open the full sized version of [[File:Blaeu - Nova Belgica et Anglia Nova.png]] to get properly oriented (which erased all confusion, once the seeming E-W rivulet that's actually the Hudson River can be correctly identified.

Is there a way that the unusual orientation of the map can be very briefly worked into the Tappan page image's caption? It would really help. I'm used to seeing the Hudson N-S, arrayed with bands of Manhattoes, Wecquaesgeek, Siwanoy, Kitchawank, and Nochpeem up the east bank to Wappinger proper country well into Dutchess County. Even so, I found the map orientation so dumbfounding I resolutely misread it.

New York Port of Embarkation

You have insisted on linking Port of New York and New Jersey, an article on a modern concept and Port Authority, for an area with similar coverage, but very different concept in World Wars I and II. First thing to grasp is that an Army Port of Embarkation is a command and jurisdiction going far beyond port facilities of piers and wharves. What is included in my text: "The command had facilities in New York City and surrounding areas and in New Jersey as well as ports in other cities as sub-ports under its direct command." includes things far beyond today's "Port of New York and New Jersey" as well as that modern "port" including things not at all part of the Army command that was the NYPOE. Therefore I will continue to object to just a straight link to something that is not the equivalent at all. You might be interested in FM 55-105 Water Transportation: Oceangoing Vessels (September 25, 1944) pages 14 and 15 for some of the similarities. The differences in those "command had facilities" lies in the Army embarkation camps and Army hospitals as well as staging areas as far afield as Pennsylvania. I've given explanation why I object and don't want to get into an edit war, but will insist on some sort of compromise. Palmeira (talk) 19:32, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Newark Public Library

Hi, Djflem. I think "compromises the integrity of the encyclopedia" is overstating things. The guideline states that we do not have vagueness or instantly dated text, which if anything is what would actually compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia. Different editors handle that violation in different ways. It would be equally valid to have added the ^[when?] template. I think the larger point being missed here, and one which a subsequent editor rightly addressed, is that the WP:DATED vio needed fixing. If my boldly pointing this out helped spur an editor to research the date and add it, then my edit did exactly what was intended. Rather than compromise Wikipedia, it in fact enhanced it.

In any case, that other editor discovered that the information was nearly a decade old, and he or she added a year with a citation. All's well that ends well. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:50, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Court Street Bridge (Hackensack River).

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

Rights change

Hi Djflem, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Sadads (talk) 19:14, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Djflem. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Sadads (talk) 19:14, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates

Frankly, I don't recall giving you any advice about coordinates lately. Perhaps I've done so in the past, but I'm old enough that my memory is starting to get rather sievelike. As I recall, most of your problems involve coordinates that are only slighly off—a few city blocks and so forth (less than a mile, anyway)—and places that you actually know the locations of. In such cases the easiest thing to do is to go to the GeoLocator tool, enter the coordinates from the article in the dialogue box at top left, and zoom in on the area. You can then drag the marker on the map to the correct location (or double-click on the correct location) and paste the correct coordinates (which will appear after "Location:" to the left of the map) into the article's {{coord}} template.

Judges and politicians

I am guessing you are having the somewhat usual knee-jerk reaction that judges are not politicians, especially when not elected. The problem is, judges meet the definition of politician. More importantly, as to your reversions from several judges in NJ from politician/city categories, these judges are already in politician categories. See Category:American state court judges where all state court judges are in politician cats.

Basically, every office holder is a politician. Now, not all politicians are office holders, sort of like not all doctors are physicians, but all physicians are doctors. Aboutmovies (talk) 15:43, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of crossings of the Upper Passaic River

I think I've finished off the coordinates in the article. A few points:

I'm not sure that I have the correct coordinates of the Patriot's Path footbridge. I put them where Google Maps shows the bridge, but the Open Street Map shows it about 250 yards upstream, at 40°45′10″N 74°33′07″W / 40.75286°N 74.55195°W / 40.75286; -74.55195. There are just too many trees to see the bridge in aerial views; you may want to see if you can find out exactly where the thing is.
Passaic River says that the source of the river is the unnamed pond at roughly 40°45′44″N 74°34′40″W / 40.76222°N 74.57778°W / 40.76222; -74.57778. If that is taken as the source, there are technically two crossings upstream of the last entry currently in the table. The nascent river passes through a culvert under Hardscrabble Road at 40°45′46″N 74°34′37″W / 40.76276°N 74.57696°W / 40.76276; -74.57696 and (apparently in a culvert) under Corey Lane at 40°45′51″N 74°34′32″W / 40.76427°N 74.57551°W / 40.76427; -74.57551. I don't know whether you do or do not want to include these.
There seem to be some dams or spillways in the upper reaches of the river other than the ones you have listed. One is at the outlet of Osborn Pond, at 40°43′16″N 74°31′55″W / 40.72110°N 74.53208°W / 40.72110; -74.53208, just under/downstream of the Lee's Hill Road bridge. Another is at the outlet of another pond, at 40°46′17″N 74°34′17″W / 40.77142°N 74.57152°W / 40.77142; -74.57152, and there may be several others along the course of the river. (I wasn't looking in too much detail as I followed the river upstream.)

If I've made any mistakes, just drop me a message if you're unable to fix them yourself, and I'll try to correct them. Deor (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It has been suggested that the hook for your DNK nom be revised from 100 to 90 crossings. If you make that revision I can give it a nod. I regret the length of time it has taken to get thru this. Verne Equinox (talk) 17:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moffat Bridge?

Just wondering why you changed "Moffit Bridge" (which you had originally typed) to "Moffat Bridge".

Fairview - not a Gold Coast City

August 13 2016 your put Fairview back into text for wiki/Hudson_Waterfront without noting the addition. It was removed in February and documented.

My comments in the talk page therein, although unkind but true about Fairview, are reason enough to exclude Fairview from the def.

Although Cliffside Park also does not border the Hudson, its size and local and high rise buildings giving good views of NYC and make it a desired location for NYC escapees. I left it in the text.

Fairview's demographics were left in because they caused no harm. Fairview has no right to be considered a member of the Gold Coast any more than Ridgefield.

I shall remove it once again but I do not want to get into an argument via editing. I've become aware of "editing wars" and the warnings from Widipedia about such (different articles completely which I became are of via seeing a contributor was banned or temporarily suspended but was not involved in.) As a source of knowledge, it is wrong for others to cite (cit?) Fairview as Gold Coast because of Widipedia, although I can see the borough wanting to be a "us too" town. Are far back as I can remember, Fairview wasn't a GC town in the press because it did not border on the Hudson River. Edgewater on the other hand was prime GC and as a sleepy little town, people made a lot of money. Perhaps here is where I should throw in your talk page about politicians, judges and politically connected people.

The things I've seen but have no documented proof could land me in court. (politically connected judges? U bet cha.) More known about Fairview, but some of Edgewater too first hand.

Tangent; 5 firemen from CSPK ransacked the house of a dead man then torched it. Each agreed to testify against the other 4. End result was NO ONE ever went to court. That was in the Bergen Record. Blame the prosecutor (sp?) on that one.

2 Mafia man caught with a 22 cal gun with an illegal silencer. No one ever followed up on where he got the silencer. I say Mafia but I just made up the label although I've been lead to believe that the small caliber weapon is one of choice at times.

The more one sees, the more one dig, the worse the situations are. In Fairview they say a prayer before each council meeting. IMO they could shorten it to "Don't let us get caught." Indeed, too small with only 12/14 million budget (excluding School which is another ball of wax) is too small for Trenton or the Feds to care.)

The "control" that a certain person of North Bergen in Hudson County, abutting Fairview, exorcising control over Fairview is only 2nd hand info from people who know more than me. None of which is current and perhaps should be stated in past tense as is the next.

I'll leave you with one more tidbit because its cute. My barber asked the Cliffside Park major (names omitted here for legal reasons) why the town approved a certain construction project. His response, according to my barber was "You can't steal if you don't build." Cliffontheroad (talk) 04:08, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of crossings of the Lower Passaic River

I left three entries lacking coordinates, as follows:

Portway Bridge (proposed): I see that such a bridge is being discussed: but as far as I can tell it's only in the feasibility-study stage, and I've been unable to determine exactly where the thing would stand if it's ever built. (I'm not even sure that an exact position has yet been decided on.)
Newark Plank Road (removed): Was this at the site of the present-day Lincoln Highway Bridge, or was it at a slightly different location?
Pedestrian bridge (proposed): I've looked at a number of online documents about proposed improvements along the river in the Ironbound neighborhood, but I haven't seen anything about a footbridge across the river between the Dock Bridge and the Jackson Street Bridge. Where did you see such a proposal?

If I can be of any further help, let me know. Deor (talk) 17:20, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful hint

I've noticed that you sometimes use {{geodata-check}} to ask for coordinate corrections in articles, as you did at Talk:Brielle Draw. It's pretty easy to do this sort of correction yourself if you know where the thing needing corrected coordinates is. You can use this tool: Just keep double-clicking on the map (with the cursor on the area you want to zoom in on), or enter the incorrect coordinates in the dialog box at top left and move the map around, until you see the thing of interest,then put the cursor on it and Ctrl-click to place the marker; adjust the position of the marker, if necessary, by dragging it, and then you can read and copy the coordinates, in d/m/s and decimal form, at left.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Indents

Hi Djflem. Hope you're having a good day. We're on the brink of beginning to talk past each other at the talk page of that article, so I'm going to back off for a bit to allow more space for any others who may wish to join the conversation. As I mentioned there, I'm baffled at the nonstandard formatting you're using for the discussion—specifically your indentation, which seems more or less random. You've had an account about as long as I have, and in that time you've made three times as many edits, so I hesitate to point you to a help page...but WP:THREAD.

As one of Wikipedia's most experienced Wikipedia editors,
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 Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of New Jersey railroad junctions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lehigh Line (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Any other NJ related lists need help ... let me know

I like your court house list. have you worked on the mayors? Category:Lists_of_mayors_of_places_in_New_Jersey. I have been contacting the research librarian in the major cities to compile lists. I have also been clustering New Jersey categories in Wikidata to make them easier to find. Mayor of a place in New Jersey (Q42688505) Wikidata has a field called "position held" that can be Mayor of X, with one click, you can see the names of the mayors, even if they do not have a Wikipedia entry.

Kevin S. Corbett and Mendham

The article for Kevin S. Corbett puts him in the Mendham Township category, but lists him as living in Mendham, New Jersey (a redirect to the page for the borough). A public records search puts him in Mendham Township, which I can't use, and all of the sources place him in generic "Mendham, NJ" with no distinction between the borough and the township. Have you found anything reliable and verifiable to place him on Mendham Township (vs. Mendham Borough)? Was there anything that led you to choose the Mendham Township category?

Municipalities included along the Rahway River Parkway

Kudos on the article and the DYK.

This edit says that the Rahway River Parkway runs through the borough, but doesn't provide a source. This source from the county lists the Parkway as being in Clark, Linden, Cranford and Rahway. This Greenway Plan, used as a source in the Rahway River Parkway, mentions Kenilworth and Westfield, but I don't see where it says that the two places include parts of the Parkway.

Do you have a source that puts the Parkway in Kenilworth, Westfield and other municipalities? Is there an overall map, because I couldn't fine it on the county website or at the Friends of Rahway River Parkway?

Your help here would be most beneficial. Alansohn (talk) 23:53, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of crossings of the Rahway River

I think I'm about done with the coordinates and related changes on this. In the table for the main stream, I added two footbridges (between the Lehigh Line and High Street bridges and between the Springfield Ave. and Boulevard bridges) and the dam at Droeschen Mill. I also added a number of footbridges and dams to the West Branch table, but it's still misssing a bunch of crossings in the upper reaches of the stream. I think that all of the road crossings north of Northfield Avenue are culverts rather than bridges; there are also some footbridges in the Essex County Country Club golf course.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of sheriffs of Monmouth County, New Jersey

A tag has been placed on List of sheriffs of Monmouth County, New Jersey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

this falls under A7 as unremarkable, but also there was no consensus to create this article as a spinout. It was proposed only 10 days ago and the discussion only had three participants see Talk:Monmouth County, New Jersey#Sheriff of Monmouth County, New Jersey

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Barnstar of recognition

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		I recognize you as a tireless contributor, who has faced the forces of deletionism by adding the reliable and verifiable sources needed to build this encyclopedia. Remember that it a significant amount of work to create an article of even minor significance, all of which can be destroyed by a few seconds of typing by an editor who just doesn't like the article. Please don't be frustrated by the recent flurry of negativity; look at each Prod tag and each AfD listed on your talk page as a battle scar in the fight to create a better Wikipedia. Alansohn (talk) 18:46, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One doesn't have to look further than Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clinton Cemetery (2nd nomination) for an example of an article that you created, was AfD'ed and then was expanded by you (and others) to meet the notability standard and broad community consensus for retention.

Bergen County Executive

You moved this back to capped Executive with comment "proper title". I'm not sure what you're saying or thinking. The sources, including the most official ones, don't cap the job title "county executive"; and see MOS:JOBTITLE. Taking the first few Google hits: the official county page on it says "the county executive handles the day-to-day operations...". This article is titled "Jim Tedesco to seek reelection as Bergen County executive". This one has "running for re-election as executive of Bergen County". This one shows the correct place to use caps, in "County Executive James Tedesco III", and also not, in "to win the executive post in 2014". This one has "to run for county executive". Nobody uses this as a proper name. Dicklyon (talk) 02:39, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bergen County Executive

Hi Djflem. I was pinged on Talk:Bergen County Executive around your edit warring on this article. In particular, the following two edits: [4] and [5]. In your edit summaries, you labelled the first as vandalism and to take it to the talk page, and the second as there being no consensus to remove the level of detail. Personally I do not have any stake in the content of the article either way; I am, though, concerned that you are not adhering to the RFC, which had quite wide participation gauging the views of interested parties, which was closed just yesterday. Two points:

Labeling edits which are patently not vandalism as vandalism to justify using rollback is not acceptable.
Doing so while saying "take to talk" is extremely disingenuous, when there was a lengthy RFC on the talk page, initiated by the person you reverted, and closed by myself as an uninvolved party, with a clear closing summary that said the consensus was that removing these details was appropriate.

As you appear unable to use rollback appropriately, I have temporarily removed your access to the rollback tool. If you wish it to be returned, please ping me or another administrator in a month or so and we can discuss this. You will need to demonstrate you have learned how to edit in line with consensus. Further tendentious editing against consensus may regrettably result in a temporary block, restricting your account from editing Wikipedia. Please consider this your only warning. Should you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Regards, Fish+Karate 08:26, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracies in Erie articles

I've had it up to here with this. The NYS&W was an Erie subsidiary, so it used Erie signage all the way to the end. I don't know what kind of research you're doing, but clearly it's resulting in a falsehood. There won't be an NYSW style as it and the Erie were the same. I have photographic proof if you would like me to provide it.

That said, as someone who has spent the last 10 years doing hard Erie work, I would like to suggest that you let me know you make a new article. I don't want to clean up what you left me. I can help you, if you'd let me. The new Bogota and Hackensack articles are a mess.Mitch32^{(My ambition is to hit .400 and talk 1.000.)} 05:39, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Future of articles for Neighborhoods in Ewing Township, New Jersey

I see that you've been organizing Category:Neighborhoods in Ewing Township, New Jersey. Do you think that there's an opportunity to salvage these articles and add sources to merit standalone status, or do you think that most of these should end up as redirects? Alansohn (talk) 14:58, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: I think that the category should exist, but am fine that some of those in category be re-directed to the geography section of Ewing, which includes a map of the neighborhoods. Just going thru go see those that may be historical settlements (as seen in Gannett, Henry (January 28, 1895). "A Geographic Dictionary of New Jersey". U.S. Government Printing Office – via Google Books.), which IMO should have stand-alones, but come across none targeted as AfDs. Djflem (talk) 15:35, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that some -- but not all -- of these articles could merit standalone articles. I think that we're better off with a smaller number of more substantial articles than a laundry list of articles for neighborhoods and developments that are have little more than a statement that they exist. Thanks for your efforts on the cleanup. Alansohn (talk) 16:38, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: To futher the discussion, and moving on to Edison, for which 3 articles are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/New Jersey. I have added some references to some and to most: "NJDOT Graphic Information System Maps Middlesex" (PDF). New Jersey Department of Transportation. {{cite web}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help). I have also created Category:Neighborhoods in Edison, New Jersey, and agree with you that some (particularly 117th & 18th century settlements that have been absorbed) but most do not merit stand-alones. Unlike Ewing, however, where there is quite a good map in the Geography section, none exists at Edison article. Given the nature of suburban sprawl it's tough call: community, district, neighborhood, but opt for the most common Wiki term with this Draft:List of neighborhoods in Edison, New Jersey, which I think is a good place to start together potential info/sources for expansion. Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated.Djflem (talk) 20:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will go through the articles and the AfDs. I'm not sure what the best term is for these places, but I am confident that we are better off with a smaller number of more substantial articles that have some meat on their bones beyond the fact that they are within some township or other. I have no objection to turning many of these content-less articles into redirects, knowing full well that some of these might merit standalone articles in the future as material becomes available to be added. Thanks for all of your time and patience in organizing and expanding these articles. Alansohn (talk) 21:05, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Alan here.. A separate page for a list of neighborhoods for a municipality and redirecting the AfD’s to the corresponding article is definitely something useful, especially as an alternative to having individual stub articles on unincorporated communities. There are some, however that could have room for expansion if the proper sources are presented. The ones you have shared can definitely be useful to already existing articles. Keep up the great work to you both. Tinton5 (talk) 01:16, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tinton5:@Alansohn: List of neighborhoods in Edison, New Jersey now exists. Have directed subs w/o content to it, but not those currently under AfD, so it would be great if you would respond to them there sense of completion. Others that may have potential I've left, but not sure there's enough for each for stand-alone (and could/should be re-directed?)Djflem (talk) 08:01, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to reinsert the least controversial chunks of this material, but the editor has called details about libraries (which you just trimmed) a "travel guide". The material was just removed again.

Redirecting geographic superstubs

I saw your discussion note and your recent edits. There is a huge percentage of articles for unincorporated communities of all kinds (neighborhoods, housing developments, named intersections, etc.) that have never evolved beyond a single sentence or two, such as Maxim, New Jersey. Sources have been added to some of these articles, but often they add little more than confirming that the place exists. I don't see why we shouldn't be turning these kinds of superstubs directly into redirects to the parent municipality, rather than extending the agony by starting a merge discussion. I think that we're better off with a much smaller number of meatier articles for unincorporated places, with no prejudice to turning the redirects back into standalones as new sourcing becomes available. I just wanted to see your thoughts on the issue, before jumping into debates on the topic. Alansohn (talk) 12:42, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am in agreement with you. Actually, perhaps the merger tag should have been a redirect tag, if one exists. I do believe they should be screened for tradiional/historical/noteworthy communities. I've done Edison, as you may have noted. I've continued with Howell, where there was a large amount. If you'd respond there with the same/similiar message as above, then at least those 15 or so can be redirected immediately.Djflem (talk) 12:57, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll chime in and start making the redirects. Thanks for the feedback; I had assumed that this was your position based on your edits, but I wanted to put the question to you directly. Thanks for all of your work! Alansohn (talk) 15:03, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: I believe that the categories should be kept for navigation purposes so that an reader/editor (should they so choose) can find the stub & its history. (Then there's the question about county templates, but that's another discussion).Djflem (talk) 15:11, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed about the categories; I always keep the categories when I change an article to a redirect. The county templates will need to be cleaned up and so will the articles for the parent municipalities. I think we're in synch here. I will start as soon as I can and ramp up the process. I'll keep an eye out for your edits. Alansohn (talk) 15:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've started with microstubs in Woodbridge Township. There are about 900 entries in Category:Unincorporated communities in New Jersey and I have a sneaking suspicion that a few hundred of these should be redirects. Thanks for starting on this much-needed task. Alansohn (talk) 17:24, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

((ping|Alansohn}} I find there's no rush to do it, just focusing on the townships with large populations (such as Edison/Woodbridge) or Cherry Hill, Ewing that are more urbanized/developed (and where a list might be appropriate) is a good place to start. Other more rural areas may need a better BEFORE.Djflem (talk) 17:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right. Some of these apparent microstubs in rural areas were thriving settlements that had shrunk into irrelevance. Some of the historical books will help there. We have the beginnings of a strategy. Alansohn (talk) 18:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

wikipedia participation strategy

I dunno if this can work, but I will try. Djflem, you and i have gotten onto opposite sides about the five articles and corresponding AFDs about "List of DENOMINATION churches in Leicester". Actually I started on the side of "keep the material, obviously, though merge to higher level list", and later turned to calling for outright deletion. The outcomes don't really matter, I think now, because the result is the same whether one of the lists is "Kept" but then stripped down and selective items get merged, or whether it is "Deleted" or "Draftified" and then reviewed and selective items get merged.

Where I come from, mainly, in what I do, is usually to take a big source, or system of sources, and work from it to develop coverage in Wikipedia. Documents about National Historic Landmarks in the U.S. --> articles about 2,000 such places, done by me and others. Documents about National Register of Historic Places places in the U.S. ---> articles about 90,000 such places, in progress by me and others, about 75 percent done by one measure at tracking page wp:NRHPPROGRESS. Because i like, or at least used to like, helping Americans know more about their local historic places, and it is/was allowed in Wikipedia. Though I have run into contention which detracts from the experience.

I also can be motivated sometimes in a contrarian way. I sorta enjoy fighting for "Keep" in an AFD, where I see/think it is possible. E.g. I saw Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grand Naniloa Hotel recently, said "this is not right, it is surely notable", and then "fought" the deletion by scrounging for sources, with marginal success. It will be closed Keep soon I think, because others showed up and found better sources. But in the process, I learned a little about Historic Hotels of America program, which this hotel belonged to, and I looked into it more, and eventually I am concluding that membership there is a substantial thing, and further that any member should probably be Wikipedia-notable. Because there's some legitimacy of its sponsor, and because there is at least some info about all of them, in the webpages of HHA, and because usually I can find other independent sources about these (so it suggests their selection by HHA was discriminating, they only select substantially historic places, I think). I wonder if your recent participation is like my oppositional/contrarian effort starting here.

Anyhow, that brings me back to my first strategy: then I am back to developing from a big source, the HHA webpages. And I have been developing a big list article National Registry of the Historic Hotels of America, and starting lots of individual hotel articles, and finding it works: I am usually finding multiple sources, no has really been challenging this effort yet, and I think myself it is legit. Basically I am exploiting a resource, a source, to do a lot in one area of Wikipedia.

I honestly don't know where you come from on any of this, and I am curious, would like to know. Can you share, what is your interest here? Do you know about or like Leicester, say, and want to see more coverage about it? Are there one or two or three sources that were mentioned in any of this, which you like and which you want to use to introduce more substantial more coverage about any churches (if so, I don't think anything should block you)? Are you interested more in the Baptist stuff than other denominations (i am not)? I recommend the strategy of taking a source or type of sources and then exploiting them. You are not blocked from doing so. Can I even help in doing that?

I also feel sort of bad for you, being beleagured (is that a word?) involved in multiple confrontations, and taking on the new deletion review, and all of this is hard, I suspect. I sorta hope that talking about your big strategy might be helpful. sincerely, --Doncram (talk) 05:28, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

John Farmer Jr Revert

Hello, I noticed you undid my revision to John Frarmer Jr because you say "cannot 'quotes' from newspapers in references". However first, Wikipedia states what information to include when citing a newspaper on the page Wikipedia:Citing sources. Second, the edit from me you undid doesn't even include the newspaper reference. Please explain. Etineskid (talk) 01:43, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Etineskid:

Staff. "N.J.'S LINE OF SUCCESSION / A SIMPLE FIX", The Press of Atlantic City, November 11, 2002. accessed June 22, 2012. "Thanks to an unusual set of circumstances and a flaw in the state constitution, New Jersey had four different governors over eight days at the beginning of the year. Even for New Jersey, this was pretty bizarre."

Sorry, meant to say, "cannot change 'quotes' from newspapers in references". Appears that you changed the above quote from the Press of Atlantic City, which says four, to to say "five".Djflem (talk) 09:01, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The newspaper originally said "five" I changed it to "four" then realized I had changed the article title so I changed it back to "five" with another clarifying change which is what you reverted. So, the correct title of the article is "five" I am going to change the article back to reflect the correct name of the article. Etineskid (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help with Christopher O. Ward. Your page is quite impressive. The port authority is so fascinating. Jameson Doig book's is not good enough. I am a city college student, and hope to write another one the port, tolls, and machine politics. Can you possibly offer guidance, as a new wiki user, who wants to expand Wiki pages into this area, how to correct Christopher Wards page (says I was sensational adding earlier port info). Then after that, I started Howard S. Cullman's page. I am going to be much more certain about entries after this recent questioning. Thanks again.

1942 in non-Erie sources. Mitch32^{(sail away with me to another world.)} 18:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mitchazenia: Checked my sources and am well aware of North Bergen station name (Is that your point?) and made a choice how to cast the article. Not sure if you're claim (from edit summary) about last name is a valid one or one that supported by policy. If you want to make changes, first read Wikipedia:Citing sources. Use sources available make your case, but in a better version then the first three you've added. (Click on them, they appear to be bad link). Could live with North Bergen (Homestead) station, as called in ICC ref.Djflem (talk) 18:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Standard operating procedure is to use the final or current name of the station. The station name of Homestead was gone by 1943. North Bergen was the railroad station name at the end. I've been on this site for 15 years and damn well know how to cite my sources. I do work on this railroad because I know of what I speak with hundreds of sources. I've fought with you nonstop for years about how badly these articles you make are, including poor use of See also sections. I am willing to mediate this, but I'm tired of the same stuff again and again.Mitch32^{(sail away with me to another world.)} 19:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to apologize for my tone above. I think we can work this out, but I can tell you, rather than starting all these, just let me know you are and I can provide you lots of sources usually. There is a lot you have to learn on formatting but it's all fixable. For example, there are tools to use proper citations. Also, you really shouldn't copy and paste all these things. There are noticeable copy and paste errors. Mitch32^{(sail away with me to another world.)} 23:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Content on Brandywine Hundred

Hi, Djflem, sorry about the now undone warning. I usually do not post such warnings on experienced editors' talk pages.

Neither of the cited sources has information about the 5,000 acres or a cave. https://web.archive.org/web/20190923132110/http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/findaids/grubb.htm does mention 600 acres.

I grew up in Claymont & Brandywine Hundred. Heck, I used to get my hair cut at Grubb's Corners catty-corner to the Odd Fellows Lodge. I am unaware of any caves along the Delaware portion of the Delaware River where the alluvial plain meets the river. I did explore a small cave a few times in the Beaver Valley area, but I am not aware of any caves in Brandywine Hundred that would be large enough for human habitation. Therefore, without citation, I suspect any attestation about someone living in a cave along that portion of the Delaware River to be fanciful & better suited to the illustrations of Howard Pyle or N.C. Wyeth.

Of course, if you do find citations, well that would take care of that. It is possible that nearly 300 years between Grubb's initial habitation & my habitation may have concealed any existence or destruction of such a cave. Peaceray (talk) 18:17, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How to pronounce Weequahic

Per your request, I put the following paragraphs on the Weequahic, Newark Talk page, but having had no response there, I am trying to gain some understanding by writing you here. I don't consider myself impatient in not waiting longer, as you reverted my pronunciation edit in less than 2½ hours after I made it, and it has been about 2½ days since I wrote my Talk entry. So here it is:

I edited "many locals say WEEK-way[citation needed]", a way of saying Weequahic that I've never heard. It's true, I graduated Weequahic High School some decades ago, and perhaps the locals have a new pronunciation. But since the WEEK-way pronunciation had a [citation needed] tag (and I'd love to see a citation!), I thought it acceptable to change to what I remembered. I thought that perhaps "WEEK-way" was a typo anyway, as indeed it is missing the last syllable.

So I changed it to "many locals say WEE-kway-ik[citation needed])" as I remember from my many youthful years in the neighborhood. I don't have a citation either, so I thought this bit would be fair game. However, it was promptly reverted. I would like to know on what basis, and in making this note on the Weequahic Talk page, I am respecting the wishes of the reverting editor to avoid corresponding on their own Talk page.

I note that I have seen a pronunciation in Jews of Weequahic (see a new section in the article, Further reading) but it is very far outside my personal recollection, so I choose not to include it in the article." So I eagerly look forward to hearing why you reverted "many locals say WEE-kway-ik[citation needed])" to "many locals say WEEK-way[citation needed]". Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 18:33, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you reverted my well-sourced pronunciation to an unsourced one. What is your basis for that?

Nomination of Four Presidents Corners for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Four Presidents Corners is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Four Presidents Corners until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 until the discussion has finished.

I really shouldn't have to tell someone with almost 100,000 edits this, but please don't cite things to bare URLs, like you did here.

Weequahic Park Lake

Hi, the other day this ip address removed Weequahic Park Lake as being the largest lake in Essex County, which it is. In his edit summary he said that there are many larger lakes in Essex County and cited Canoe Brook Reservoir. So I reverted his edit and I wrote lakes and reservoirs are two different things. Now a few hours ago he removed it yet again. Can you please be of assistance with this. Thank you, Doriden (talk) 12:19, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Doriden: I would have to agree that a lake can be a reservoir. Djflem (talk) 16:32, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

True, but reservoirs are for drinking water and are named such, ie, Wanaque Reservoir, Pequannock Reservoir, etc... Lakes are named Lake Erie, Huron, and so forth. If you Google what is the largest lake in Essex County NJ see what comes up. Weequahic Park Lake. Thank You, Doriden (talk) 16:44, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Newark Branch

Hi, A portion of the Newark Industrial Track, AKA The Newark Branch, in Clifton is still used to serve VanNess Plastics. At one time there were boxcars and tankers at every siding along the ROW, Art Metal, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, Seton Leather, Walter Kidde, Roche in Nutley and many more. The last four shippers in Newark were Q-Pak on McCarter Hwy near the Belleville border, Schiffenhaus Packaging on McCarter between Verona and Grafton, Frey Industries in that little industrial park on Riverside & Chester (former Pittsburgh Plate Glass complex), and WAS Terminal on Passaic St near 4th Ave. I have a lot of info on both the Newark Branch and the Orange Branch. OKDoriden (talk) 18:43, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

Trucking is cheaper and big railroad likes the long haul, they don't care too much for little industrial "local" switching job stuff. BTW Schiffenhaus which received boxcar of large rolls of paper board 3 times a week, RockTenn purchased it about 10 years ago and that was the end of rail service. Innovation BioFuels on Passaic St was looking good until tariffs were placed on bio fuel. The city helped them, the ROW was redone, they even received barge delivery. Q-Pak recently went oob, they received tankers. The train was out of the Suffern yard. In the old days even had stock trains. There was a USDA animal quarantine station where Clifton city hall is now. Sad Doriden (talk) 18:54, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've done about all that I can confidently do with the coordinates. The Commuters appears to be indoors at Pennsylvania Station (and appears to be in multiple parts), so I can't do anything with that.

Philadelphia 76ers

The opening sentence of the article is not false....literally every NBA, NFL, NHL & MLB team follows the same structure. They cite which city/metropolitan area the team is based in and upon usually named after. The Sixers play in Philly, named after Philly and professionally cited, noted and referenced to be in the City of Philadelphia. Yes they have their athletic training facility in Camden, New Jersey with corporate offices, but this is not uncommon of many major professional teams. Like I said every article uses the term "based in". If you're going to argue this on the Sixers page one can make a case for literally all the NBA, NFL, NHL & MLB team articles....WNBA, G-League, Minor League Baseball, etc. !!!! Banan14kab (talk) 02:32, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly is false in the case of the 76ers. They are based at Philadelphia 76ers Training Complex in Camden, New Jersey, not Philadelphia. Comparisons to other other are not valid There is no prescribed standard. Or as you said it yourself (see above): They cite which city/metropolitan area where team is based in and upon usually named after. Metropolitan area. So leave it as it was: Philadelphia metropolitan area Djflem (talk) 06:05, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Click on teams in United States metropolitan areas with four major league sports teams. Djflem (talk) 07:27, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited in and renamed that page for accuracy. There are multiple teams that have headquarters outside their principal city. It’s not the metro area because their training complex is in Camden. I’m going to continue to fight this. It’s a simple answer Banan14kab (talk) 16:01, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also the teams in the Philadelphia market there all day Philadelphia, PA. As well as the Sixers infobox for location. This just proves my point. Banan14kab (talk) 17:04, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lil' Baby Ruth

Thank you for editing, finding sources, and saving Ruth Cleveland from deletion. Nice work in a good cause. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:51, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Had interest and time..not always the case. Still think there's much more there that's not in article: sensation/nation's rapture, cater for sickly child, the presidential election. etc. But it's good 'general info' article. Djflem (talk) 13:36, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lincoln Tunnel Helix

Hello Djflem, I just wanted to explain some of the edits for LTH I made regarding the view of Manhattan, because, well, I can tell you didn’t concur with them. And compare my 410 edits on Wikipedia to your 100K+ edits and the fact you (I think?) live in Hudson County and I don’t (I’m in Wayne in Passaic), so I respect that you have the higher knowledge in this area, and I won’t try to make a huge thing over this or “convince” you to keep such changes. First- the original sentence was “…has partially blocked the view from the lower portion of the roadway.” This edit was not made by me. I changed it to “bottom of the roadway” as I though it had a better flow to it. About the trees, I included this because a look at a satellite view of the helix (and streetview) shows that trees surround the first half of the eastbound descent, making it hard to see NY, and then there’s the apartment buildings… my point was that this idea of a panorama view driving down the helix was deteriorating, I suppose.

I know this was wordy but please don’t take it as I’m mad at you or anything, just hope that you understand. :)

P.S.- should I capitalize Helix or no? Jason Ingtonn (talk) 03:51, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not my personal knowledge that matters. It can inform my thinking, but Wikipedia does not allow Wikipedia:No original research. It requires Wikipedia:Reliable sources (RS), that follow Wikipedia:Citing sources (google maps are not considered RS) Personal observation is original research. "has partially blocked the view from the lower portion of the roadway” and “bottom of the roadway” sound confusing, especially since it's more in the middle of the helix (as opposed to the roadway) since the upper portion is along the crest of the Palisades known as Kings Bluff and there's never been a view, since it is wooded. Helix or helix, tricky one since that is a sort of "official" name. (Lincoln Tunnel can become the tunnel, for example.) I suppose one could 'fine tooth' the article and try to determine if the proper name is being applied or if it's a more general term such as roadway, bridge, highway. I also suggest looking for ways to explain things in the most concise way possible in a logical order; lengthly, wordy descriptions can be distracting.Djflem (talk) 10:47, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have move to Helix talk page to keep consolidated. Djflem (talk) 10:53, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jersey City libraries

Hi there! I noticed you have a particular interest in Hudson County/Jersey City articles and thought you might be interested in Draft:Jersey City Free Public Library, which I've just started to work on. I've added placeholders for all the branches in JC, but they perhaps don't all warrant an article. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 15:31, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Macaddct1984: Great, go for it! Agree a "container" article is better than for each branch. I've done a bit of a data dump: bit of history and image, refs, and context. I assume the Miller Branch was named for the man who wrote this book, (which I'll have to get a copy of): https://www.amazon.com/Bergen-Jersey-City-Historical-Anniversary/dp/1332104304 Djflem (talk) 17:50, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello Djflem, we need experienced volunteers.

New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
Cheers, and hope to see you around.

Carmel articles

The more I have been looking into the Carmel-related articles (the mayors, Pacific Repertory Theatre, Forest Theater, Golden Bough Playhouse, the more I am convinced that the objections to them are all wet. It has not been proved that User:Smatprt actually did any paid or COI editing. It appears that he was just a Shakespeare fan (and possibly a California resident). Much of the editng on these articles has been to delete material, some of which is notworthy, interesting, encyclopedic material. I urge you to reconsider the AfDs and see if you really see a reason to delete/redirect/merge any of them. For example, all of this fairly well-referenced material was deleted from the article on Herbert Heron (writer), including book sources, and with it, it would be much easier to evaluate the article's notability (and that of the other artices that have been eviscerated). -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:09, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have watched/been aware of the attempts to delete many Carmel-related articles, the motivation for which seemed to been based in the idea that they are part of so-called walled garden and were created by Greghenderson2006. My inclination generally to salvage encyclopaedic material. I have been only commented on the List of mayors, and articles about those who were mayors. Have no opinion about User:Smatprt or articles created by them. If they should come up for AFD, I may take a look.Djflem (talk) 15:47, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I note that on the AfD for Herbert Heron (writer), you did not vote either way, and you did not comment or vote at all on the Gunnar Norberg or John C. Catlin AfDs. I just wondered if that was what you intended. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
