You left a warning on the talk page of an IP editor, but did not sign it (I have signed it for you). I have blocked the IP editor from any editing for 2 weeks. When you post on a talk page, please sign your contribution with four tildes, like this: ~~~~, You stated that only persons who have Wikipedia articles can be listed in the "Notable persons" from a place. Granted, vandals often list themselves, their friends, or humorous fictional entries, but I am a little more forgiving and would include notable persons who are clearly notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, since the resulting redlink might prompt someone to create the article. I would expect to see an inline reference to a source or sources which establish the notability. For instance, a professional athlete or a member of a state legislature would be appropriate to include even if his article is not yet written.

The person in question was known only for being charged with a financial crime, so probably would fail notability per WP:BLP1E. The ref the IP editor had added would not be considered a reliable source as required by WP:BLP for negative info about a living person, but it was interesting to see that there was some coverage not only in local papers but in papers in other countries: [1].

If having a Wikipedia article is sufficient grounds for being included as a notable person from a town, then do you agree with my addition to the Dixon, Illinois article a "Notable people " section with a US President, a drugstore chain founder, a state senator, a few other folks with articles, and an alleged embezzler who has an article?

Yes, it probably fall under the due weight part of neutral point of view that if we have a section on notable people from a locality, that assassins, bank robbers, and swindlers who are notable enough for articles are listed along with philanthropists, Presidents, and corporate leaders, even if it does not always please some locals. A defense would always be trying to delete the article about the bad person as being "known only for one thing" or that Wikipedis is not a newspaper. Regards.

Hi! Thanks so much for adding the 2010 Census data to Gardiner, Maine. Do you have a bot or a way to add this to other pages? There are a few municipalities in the Gardiner, Maine area where someone tried adding the 2010 census data, but I question it's reliability. Foggynotion (talk) 4:00, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I am running a bot as for now I'm focusing on cities/village so that is why I only edited the 22 cities in Maine. I can come back and do the towns in Maine in a couple weeks during winter break, it's far easier for me to do all in one go rather than just the towns in the Gardiner area and come back for the rest later, for the next couple weeks I'll be fairly busy with classes and I plan on doing Michigan and maybe Indiana first so you can expect the edits to start sometime around the middle of December.Jamo2008 (talk) 22:09, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-24T22:09:00.000Z","author":"Jamo2008","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jamo2008-2012-11-24T22:09:00.000Z-2010_Census","replies":["c-Jamo2008-2012-11-28T15:03:00.000Z-Jamo2008-2012-11-24T22:09:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks for the update! Do you know if your bot will override the questionable Census data that was manually input, or should I delete that? Foggynotion (talk) 9:00, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

It is situational as to weather it will detect it as wrong or not and override, if it detects the info is dated as 2010 it will check the number of households value to see if it is correct and if it isn't it will override it. Its not a big deal though since about 10-30% of all the places I run my bot on have some type of formatting error it doesn't know how to handle so I have a semi auto version of it as well that allows me to quickly auto generate the info and paste it where it needs to go. You can see that if you look at the Maine edits I did on my bot account some are tagged as (manually assisted) others as (automatic) if they are tagged as manually assisted I had to provide some input as to where content would go. So in the end I can probably clean it up faster than you could so it would probably be better to just leave it there for me.Jamo2008 (talk) 15:03, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-28T15:03:00.000Z","author":"Jamo2008","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Jamo2008-2012-11-28T15:03:00.000Z-Jamo2008-2012-11-24T22:09:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I looked at the two towns you put on my talk page the only thing wrong with the data was the % of households with children, they used % of households with the householders own children living with them rather than the total % of households with children. That is a easy mistake to make I did the same thing and had to go back over a lot of pages to fix that. Other than that the data is right just formatted differently than mine, especially the ages since the way they formatted it is how the census releases it you have to do some math to get things split up the way I do for ages, which I only do because that is how 2000 data was formatted by Rambot. I left those two towns as they were when I went over them originally since the data mostly checked out when I did a quick scan of them and I don't want to overwrite other peoples work if it is correct.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maranacook Lake, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mesotrophic.

The article Bank of Maine Ice Vault has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Appears to fail WP:GNG with only highly-localized WP:NOTNEWS coverage of a hockey team as its sources. Outside of a local place of interest, it gets no significant coverage from independent outside sources to make this anymore notable than any other city rec center.
