This is an archive of past discussions with User talk:ChrisRuvolo/Archive. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

An editor has nominated List of buildings in Lower Manhattan, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of buildings in Lower Manhattan and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 16:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I was going to close it as delete, but I wanted to know if you wanted to put it in your userspace and make it a category. Please respond on my talk page. Regards, J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 04:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I did copy the text to my userspace at User:ChrisRuvolo/List of buildings in Lower Manhattan. Perhaps you can make it a move in order to preserve the edit history? I'll categorize later. Thanks for your help. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 18:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

As in move to Category:Buildings in Lower Manhattan? I'll wait for your reponse until I close it. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 18:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

No, as in do a move, moving List of buildings in Lower Manhattan with history on top of my copy at User:ChrisRuvolo/List of buildings in Lower Manhattan. The GFDL says that the edit history must be preserved. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Mmm, I'm going to ask a more experienced admin to do that. It was already deleted, but I'll talk to another admin. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 16:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, I took care of it. J-ſtan^Contribs_{User page} 16:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to interrupt. Sorry I closed without moving, but I didn't see this request. I also followed up and deleted the cross-namespace redirect created by the move when I happened on it today. Pastordavid (talk) 16:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to you both. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that you recently tagged the Kate Atkinson Boehme article for non-notability. Why did you do that? She was a well-known and well-respected New Thought writer of her era and at least some of her books are still in print, 100 years after their first publication.

I think it is always better to add data to Wikipedia than to suggest taking an article away.

I suggest that in the future instead of tagging a stub about a long-deceased author as non-notabile that you do a simple amazon search on the author, pick up the status of any current in-print books and current ISBNs and add same to the author's article. That's what i just did. And then i removed your spurious non-notability tag.

cat yronwode Catherineyronwode (talk) 04:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I tagged the Kate Atkinson Boehme article with {{importance}} because it does not explain her importance. That label suggests improvement, not deletion. What I would suggest is adding information about what her writing introduced or meant to the field. What did her contemporaries think about it? And what do modern writers have to say about her conclusions? How did she shape thought in her field? Thats the kind of information that is needed to explain her importance and the importance of her writings. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I have added more about her philosphy and the general content of her books, and also listed two more book titles by her. I have no biographical information on her but, due to the "Atkinson" name, i have always wondered what -- if any -- relatioship she had to William Walker Atkinson, another New Thought writer. Both of them worked for Elizabeth Towne, but i have found no record of them ever living in the same place at the same time. As for what her contemporaries thought of her -- well, i could quote Elizabeth Towne, i suppose, but i don't have time to pull down my old Nautilus mgazines and copy such stuff out. She certainly was regarded well in her time, but if i wrote that in so many words, someone would put a cite tag on it, so i'd rather just let the fact that her work remains in print speak for her popularity, since the current ISBNs function as citations for that. cat yronwode Catherineyronwode (talk) 09:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks much better. Nice work. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 12:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Miltary-Boy Scout-Industrial Complex. Thats the funniest thing I've read on here in a while. Hope this returns the favor. :) --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

• I was offended by the sinister implication that all of us folks from New Jersey have gathered together to defame a real American hero. I couldn't help but use the line, once it popped into my head, and it reminds me of the bit from the Austin Powers movies, where Frau Farbissina is introduced as the founder of the militant wing of the Salvation Army. Your userbox is a classic, and I am thinking of adding it to my user page, even though I am particularly deadset against using the darn things. It's good to know that someone is reading the article's talk page, and I am still trying to come up with a text that will satisfy the bourgeois lackeys of the Military-Boy Scout-Industrial Complex who should really be spending their time more productively at the factories where they construct their plutonium-powered merit badges. It's always a pleasure to cross paths. Alansohn (talk) 20:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris, would you consider deleting this userbox? It's not in the best of taste, disparages our processes and seems to be an attack on another group of editors (consider how such a userbox would make the NJ Project members feel if something similar were directed at their group. Also, comments like these are uncivil. Thanks. Dreadstar † 05:37, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it is in poor taste, but it was created out of frustration that information is being excluded contrary to policy. And there is nothing tangible that I can do about it since the people excluding that info are admins. So since I'm just a powerless peon, the only thing I can do is make others aware of this dispute. That is what this userbox is for. Also, I don't see how saying that someone else's joke was funny is uncivil. But, that all said, I'm a reasonable guy (and a peon), so if you still recommend that the template be removed, I'll do so. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 13:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Chris! I went ahead and deleted it for you, your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

As for the admins in the Coker dispute, none of them have used their Admin tools in the dispute, their actions are the same as any other editor. And yes, Alansohn's comments at the end of that post are definitely uncivil, and actually may even cross the line into a personal attack for insulting and disparaging other editors.

Since when doesn't a city care about its art. I thought Big Apple folks were cultured. Are you speaking as a member of WP:NYC that your project does not care about its important artworks. I run WP:CHICAGO and we care about ours. Meet me at the talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Image:Symantec.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Symantec.svg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Chris, I saw you changed the assessment for Allentown, New Jersey to C class. I wanted to go through and assess all the articles about towns that were in the backlog of NJ unassessed articles. I rated a large number of articles as B, but I agree with your change, and was hoping to come up with something consistant. Do you think all the automated articles should be C class if they have not been further improved? I also have been rating municipalities as Mid importance, and unicorporated areas as Low.

We could have this discussion on the project talk page, but that has been pretty dead recently. Jim Miller (talk) 13:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Jim, IMO, I think that articles that have not been improved from the automated bot information should either be stub-class (if short for a CDP for example) or start-class if it contains the usual municipality information. Fortunately, WP:NJ members like User:Alansohn have been adding details to nearly all of these articles, so there are few that are in that category. Many are now either start-class or C-class. B-Class articles should be well referenced and have broad topical coverage. Also, at least one photo, IMO. As for importance, low-importance is for things that are only of ancillary concern to WP:NJ. Examples include Annie's Road and Evil Clown of Middletown. IMO, all communities should be mid-importance, except for major cities, which should be high-importance. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Chris, Alansohn and I got into a conversation about article assessments on my talk page, somewhat of a followup to our prior conversation. I have redone the whole WikiProject setup for WPNJ (due to lack of comments otherwise), so there are new pages for this kind of discussion.

The Reboot of Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the talk page. There has been an involved discussion regarding our 48 unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30. A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture.

WPNJ member Mm40 has volunteered to coordinate a new WPNJ Collaboration project. It's been a while since we used the NJCOTW and new volunteers are needed. Join the discussion to volunteer. Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject. Take a look at their A-Class FAQ. As we need to set up our own process for reviewing A-Class articles, it may be worth watching the process.

Reboot progress report	Help Wanted
The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort. There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome!	New member recruiters Style guideline writers Newletter writers A-class article reviewers Portal crew members Many more Ask a question, make an offer
Editor's Notes
I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration.

First of all I would like to say that I agree with you. I looked up the data on the nyc.gov website and they do have it as you suggested, not including the outer boroughs prior to the consolidation. So you won that.

Second of all, you unnecessarily reverted all my edits, all of which were fine except the population trend box (our dispute). The middle table “Historical Population Figures” (a hypothetical) shows what the population of New York City would have been if the outer four boroughs were part of New York City prior to the consolidation.

Just so we are on the same page I would like to show you what edits I did so that we can finalize this dispute. These edits were done between Aug. 21st and Aug. 29th.

1. Deleted one of the “New York City compared” tables, there was no need for two of them. 2. Updated the 2007 population estimates and changed the data for from 1790-1890 in the population trend box. - our dispute 3. Changed incorrect data in the “New York City compared” table. 4. Updated the racial and ethnic composition according to the 2006 census estimates. 5. Embedded new article which I created. 6. Deleted graphs created by Julius Schorzman, which included incorrect data. I am working on new graphs. Maybe you can help me publish them since I don’t know much about publishing on wiki. I have lots of other cool graphs and charts that I could publish. 7. Fixed the Historical Population Figures section, including the pre-census data in the table. This is the hypothetical table from which I was trying to pull data and put it into the population trend box.

What I have decided to do is revert to the last edit by AnomieBOT and only change back the data in the population trend box, which was our dispute. That way all my other legit edits are not lost. Reply if you agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emigrant85 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

The Maryland WikiProject has put together a great chart comparing the growth of several state WikiProjects, including WPNJ. Take a look at the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the new articles page to your watchlist. Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content.

Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release.

Both Jon Corzine and The Sopranos were promoted to Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to Featured article status. Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month, Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July. The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 48 articles that have not been assessed.

Editor's Notes
Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller

Thanks for uploading Image:Seal of Milpitas, California.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Thanks for uploading Image:The Tube logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Slide4.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

The WikiProject New Jersey Newsletter
Volume I - Issue 3 29 October 2008
Project News	Article Alerts
A new bot is patrolling Wikipedia workflows to let WPNJ members know when any of our articles may be in need of attention. Any article tagged with the WPNJ banner that has been added to one of the major workflows (AfD, FAC, GAN, etc.) will be added to a new project page. The bot runs daily, so add the new Article Alerts page to your watchlist, or just check the main project page to see the updates. See the Article Alerts project page for details on how the bot works and which processes it covers.	The following articles may be in need of attention: Featured Article/List candidates: List of Nobel Laureates affiliated with Princeton University Good Article nominees: none at this time
Cross-Project Collaboration Request	New WPNJ members
WPNJ received the following request for assistance with New Jersey Devils articles: "The WikiProject Ice Hockey is currently looking for editors to help update team articles about the 2008-09 NHL season. If you are interested in the NHL, please consider helping us keep these article current. To sign up, go to this page and add your name beside the team or teams you wish to particpate in." See the WPNJ talk page for more information.	Please welcome the following new members to WikiProject New Jersey: Rhvanwinkle (talk) 9 October 2008
New Jersey on the Main Page	Help Wanted
No, not the state - the battleship! On October 15, USS New Jersey (BB-62) was the Featured Article on the Wikipedia main page. Featured articles receive heavier traffic when they are on the main page. Improving WPNJ articles to featured status can help drive more editors to our project.

Editor's Notes
Seems like a pretty light month in terms of activity at WPNJ. Personally, your editor was doing a lot of travelling and went on a wiki-free vacation for nine days. Time to dive back in and create some new NJ articles. - Jim Miller See me | Touch me

New York City Meetup Next: Sunday November 16th, Columbia University area Last: 6/01/2008 This box: view • talk • edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, finalize and approve bylaws, interact with representatives from the Software Freedom Law Center, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the June meeting's minutes and the September meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikis Take Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wikipedia Loves Art! bonanza, being planned with the Brooklyn Museum for February.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.

Thank you kindly for the WPNJ award. Unfortunately, I've been quite busy with issues IRL and haven't been able to contribute recently. I'll get back here eventually though. :) Thanks! --ChrisRuvolo (t) 15:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
