Gamma Phi

Hi. If you'd like to write about the Gamma Phi fraternity, then please start a new article Gamma Phi (fraternity), rather than blank and overwrite an entire existing article, as you did at Gamma Phi. Thanks, NeemNarduni2 (talk) 11:37, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Draft:Malik Sigma Psi

Is the information available as to when Malik Sigma Psi became MALIK? (and yes, I'm probably getting the capitalization wrong)

Do you belong to a GLO?

Just curious, do you belong to a GLO? I'm an alumnus of Alpha Phi Omega and if you look at my User Page User:Naraht, you can see that I have a userbox for that. I'll be happy to help you find or create one for your GLO, if you do belong to one.Naraht (talk) 23:01, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Google Books template

Google Books is *very* useful and someone made a tool for taking Google Books URLs and turning them into Misplaced Pages citations that are *really* good. Try dropping one of the Google book URLs into http://reftag.appspot.com/ . What comes out is awesome. For example, I transformed the first reference in Alpha Kappa Nu. (I'm probably going to have to go back since the tool treats it as a book rather than a collection of magazines, but that's on me. :)Naraht (talk) 20:18, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Charles Cardoza Poindexter

I combined some references in that article, let me know if that works. There is a method to indicate that information for two references comes from the same source, but different pages, let me know if that will be useful.Naraht (talk) 12:25, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Incorporated...

As a note... based on advice that I've gotten in terms of WP:COMMONNAME, what I have done over the years is the following. In terms of (fictional) Rho Sigma Tau Fraternity Incorporated (or Rho Sigma Tau Fraternity Inc.), I change this to Rho Sigma Tau fraternity in all cases except for the article on the group itself, its founders, and its National Presidents. (These are cases where equivalently (sort of), you would refer to Exxon-Mobil Inc. rather than simply referring to it as Exxon-Mobil. I'm fine with the redirects existing though. Yes, I know very well that the Historically Black GLOs use Incorporated *much* more often than a Historically White GLOs do (For example, I *never* expect a historically white GLO like Sigma Alpha Epsilon or Delta Zeta to add "Incorporated" to their name in anything other than something like purchasing a property.) (The Hispanic GLOs that have absorbed many Historically Black GLO traditions tend to do this as well)Naraht (talk)

Draft:St. John's Lacrosse Case

Hi BlackAmerican, I noticed that the draft you were improving, Draft:St. John's Lacrosse Case, was not dated, so I replaced the AFC submission template with subst:submit. Please add subst:submit to drafts next time so that they will be in queue for review. 73.182.28.179 (talk) 21:32, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello BlackAmerican, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. All or some of your addition(s) to Charles Cardoza Poindexter has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/live-with-regis-kathie-lee/2869201without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 05:21, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Diannaa, I didn't copy it from any website. I got it from a previous version of the article. BlackAmerican (talk) 20:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

BlackAmerican: I am curious why you are using the articles for creation process, because you are not a new editor and are perfectly capable of creating articles yourself? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:44, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

I took all of the google refs and made actual cite books. Please use http://reftag.appspot.com/ in this situation. Also, I marked the article as a stub...

1959 vs. 1962. The founding date in List of African-American Greek and fraternal organizations is 1959, but the category on the Wine Psi Phi page is Student Organization established in 1962. Should one of these be picked for both?Naraht (talk) 18:28, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

1959 as HUMS, 1962 as Wine Psi Phi, right?Naraht (talk) 20:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

I thought it was a point in the article. But just that the two dates mentioned in the list and the cat should agree...Naraht (talk) 01:52, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Japanese baseball players

Hallo, Thanks for your work on various Japanese baseball players, which I've seen while stub-sorting. Could I make a few suggestions?

1. Please remember to start the article with the full name, not just the surname
2. And put that name in bold
3. Please give your references in full, not just the web addresses: the "Citation" tool can be really helpful here, just click "Cite" above the edit window and then use the dropdown "Templates" menu to pick "website" and fill in what you know.
4. If you're citing one ref more than once, give it a name and re-use it - you can see how I did this at Ryotaro Doi.
5. And we don't leave a space before a reference.
6. As you seem to be creating a lot of these, perhaps you could also add {{subst:L|yearofbirth|year of death|surname, forename}} (eg {{subst:L|1952||Bloggs, Joe}} if we know when he was born and likely to be still alive, or {{subst:L|||Bloggs, Joe}} if year of birth not known, or {{subst:L|1952|2016|Bloggs, Joe}}, if we know his death date. That creates the DEFAULTSORT (so they file by surname in categories), the "Living people" category if appropriate, and a birth and/or death year category if the year is known or a "year of birth missing" if not. It's quick to do and adds several useful things to the article. Thanks. PamD 14:34, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

You can't have a seperate quotations section. What you can do is incorporate the quote into the body of the article or migrate it to Wikiquote. ~EDDY ~ 15:12, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

John W. V. Cordice

Hi. I saw your new article about Dr. Cordice because I monitor the Isola Curry page. I've edited it, mostly for WP:MOS reasons but also for organization. (For instance, to make clear which Dr. Cordice moved to NYC to attend NYU.) I hope I've done no violence to the content. I tried not to edit for substance.

I think you can anticipate an eventual challenge to the article on the grounds that he's only notable for one event, so I'm glad to see the Tuskegee Airmen detail and the first-open-heart-surgery-in-France angle.

Thanks for your efforts to build up our content in this area. David in DC (talk) 15:24, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Misplaced Pages:The 10,000 Challenge and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Misplaced Pages:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:21, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Never Hillary for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Never Hillary is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Never Hillary until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Scjessey (talk) 17:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

King Tone

Hello,

Thank you for your article about King Tone! It's quite interesting and I now want to watch the documentary and read the book!

I did a little formatting and editing during a review process and have a question about whether "King Tone" or "Fernandez" in the article on the Talk:King Tone page. In addition, I added a {{better source}} tag, because the article will be much stronger with books and newspapers as sources, per reliable sources, secondary sources, and prove notabililty. I explained the reasoning for the better source tags in the reason field, which you can see in "edit" mode.

If you have any questions about this, though, please let me know.--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:23, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
