moving of Usertalk:Ragityman/sandbox to: User:Ragityman/sandbox

Hello, Ragityman. I have moved this sandbox of yours to User:Ragityman/sandbox, because the previous title was misleading as it was in articlespace. Cheers, :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 05:56, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for straightening out my mess. Still learning.

I clipped and pasted ur template re: backlog drive. Copy editing is one of the few things on WP I know a little about, so i hope 2 help, and in the process learn a lot more. I'm sure there are better ways 2 handle templates, but it seemed 2 work ok.

Is there a reason that ur header "ut:Rag:sandbox," above, has a space at each end inside the "==" ? Prob generated automatically when u selected "new section." Just wondered, in case i'm doing it wrong when i hand-type them.

Also, i wonder if u are aware that on some browsers, mine 4 example, it's not possible 2 click on ur sig to reach ur talkpage. I had to take it to "edit" mode, handcopy "user:TeleComNasSprVen," and type it into the "search" box manually. I'm sure there're easier ways of doing that, also. I'll learn. Cool-looking sig, though.

It's no problem. And yes, the section header spaces are automatically generated when I click on the "new section" tab above. But it doesn't really matter whether there are spaces or not; on the outside, it all looks the same. The fact that my sig doesn't link to my talkpage is peculiar. Which browser are you using? I'm currently on Google Chrome so I have no problems here. By the way, I changed the sig for the WP:GOCE template below; hope you don't mind, but it has the wrong timestamp. Oh, and for the Pascal quotation, it's his, so you can do with it however you like. See you around, and hope you enjoy it here and get to know the ropes soon. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 17:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Maya Angelou

Hi Ragityman. Thanks for your edits on Maya Angelou. Just to note that it has recently been awarded a GA status after long and careful editing and review by the admin. Maybe have a look at the talk archives. Christine has put a lot amount of work into getting the article to where it is over the years, so go gently. Just flaggin' it up. Best wishes. Spanglej (talk) 20:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I support boldness! Your edits look sound to me, you have a good eye and a good ear, I wouldn't worry about other editors being better. We all learn as we go. If you have any editing Qs, by the way, you are welcome to post them on my page. I make no claim as an old hand or an WP expert but am happy to help where I can or dig around to find an answer. Bon voyage and happy editing. Spanglej (talk) 21:33, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey guys! Saw your edits on my watchlist, and thought that I'd join in here. Although I am protective (perhaps overly-so) about this article and other MA articles (for good reason, based upon the nasty, evil vandalism it regularly experiences), I also welcome any copyediting and improvements. Ragityman, I agree with Spanglej; your edits look good and were much needed. I welcome and appreciate any assistance. As I'm sure you've noticed, it needs it, and for the most part, I've been alone in my goals of improving all MA articles. If you're interested, see here for my long-term goals for these articles. It's been slow, but things are moving along. Since the above-mentioned post, Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas was promoted to FA, and The Heart of a Woman has been expanded and was a DYK. The next steps are to take The Heart of a Woman to GA and then to FA. I'd also like to create articles for all the redlinks in MA's literary works, especially her last two autobiographies, and improve her bio to the point that we can start the FAC process for it. If you'd like to take any of those goals, knock yerself out. I have other projects I'm focusing on so that I don't get bored and/or burnt out, so like I said, it's slow. Remember, there are no deadlines in WP, so if you'd like to assist, feel free, and thanks. Christine (talk) 11:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it turns out that it is Barbara Kingsolver that is in the midst of review (I think) - I'm getting my fab novelistas mixed up. I didn't mean at all to dissuade you, Ragityman, from going for it, just meant to flag up the article history a little. Best wishes Spanglej (talk) 22:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Tnx 4 generous comments, both of you. Will do mbest 2 help, as i can. Ltd time/resources. I've had a passion for MA since reading "Caged Bird" in early '70's. Saw her speak in Memphis. The more i learn of her early life, the more amazed i am that she never became bitter or otherwise.

Developing a passion 4 WP in general, as well. It's addictive! Have 2 take some time to pay the rent, tho. Cheers!

Ragityman (talk) 23:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

She is wonderful. As they say, "there is no deadline" on WP- we do what we can, when we can. It all helps. Yes, it can take a lot to not harden ones heart, as you say, but perhaps it is the greatest contribution we can make in the world. Maya seems to have managed it. And yes, anyone who thinks Facebook should be called "crackbook" obviously hasn't found the joys and 3am sessions of WP. It is a delight (most of the time), so much to learn. Working with the community is teaching me about good, clear communication, generosity and the practice of good faith. I love this wise essay: Misplaced Pages:No angry mastodons - it seems to hold for life as well as here (it's worth taking a tea break with). Best wishes to you. Happy editing.

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive

There are currently 0 articles in the backlog. You can help us! Join the September 2010 drive today!

The Guild of Copy-Editors – September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive The Misplaced Pages Guild of Copy-Editors invite you to participate in the September 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 September at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 September at 23:59 (UTC). The goals for this drive are to eliminate 2008 from the queue and to reduce the backlog to fewer than 5,000 articles. Sign-up has already begun at the September drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants. Some are exclusive to GoCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive! — ɳorɑfʈ and S Masters (talk).

Speedy deletion nomination of Ragityman/editg NRHP

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

subpg]

at the risk of beating a dead horse, i thot i'd contact u again.

i still don't know where my content is, or if it's deleted. Also, maybe i'm the one confused on this, but it looks like u lined-out the first message/template on my talkpage, only to duplicate it identically below. And, one last point: did my content appear where it did not belong ONLY because i titled it wrong, or due to the space from which i created it? I'm just trying to clarify. There are plenty of new mistakes 4 me 2 make: no need 2 repeat the same one. Thanks 4 any light you can shed. I don't NEED the content -- i'm trying to get a last look at it in an effort to understand my error.

Robert B. Parker

I reverted one of your edits to this article since you seem to have inadvertently removed a huge portion of the article. I apologise for tagging it as vandalism; a little hasty on my part! KaySL (talk) 15:23, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, i left u a message on ur talkpage. I don't blame you, it's a natural response. I started out to make a minor correction, but saw other things i thot i could improve, and if i try to do too much from this phone, i sometimes cause blanking. It's never intentional. I've now started to check the "history" each time to make sure i haven't blanked anything. By the time i saw it and could copy my changes, u'd reverted. Again, sorry!

Memphis neighborhoods

Binghamton

Binghampton has always included the area south of Broad Avenue and north of Poplar Avenue between the railroad (?Illinois Central?) on the east and Hollywood Street on the west. I have lived in the midtown area, in and around Binghampton, since 1975, and in talking to the older residents, have learned that Binghampton is a very old, formerly unincorporated region of Shelby County before being annexed into Memphis. I cannot cite references yet, but will work on that when I have the opportunity to visit the Memphis Room at the new Hooks Library. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragityman (talk • contribs) 18:23, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Cool, that would be a great addition to this article if some information from published sources could be added to it. I am looking forward to the results of your efforts at the library. doxTxob \  01:16, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

May be a delay in my research. Housing troubles, little time for the library lately.

Are you a contributor to the Tennessee project mentioned in the template? I'm wondering how to add neighborhoods to the list. I've noticed that even neighborhoods mentioned in existing wiki-articles are not represented, and I've thought of a few which seem to be notable, also not mentioned.

Ragityman (talk) 06:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Regarding spelling, I was recently told by a minister working in the area that residents of east Binghampton, maybe east of Scott Street,spell it with the "p," while west of Scott, they spell it without the "p." Will also try to source that.

Ragityman (talk) 07:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

That is too funny, people cannot just spell it the way they want. ;-) The "official" spelling of Binghampton is with a "p", though, says the authority for that, the USGS (link is in the article). Man, that is Memphis, everyone just does whatever they want. As a matter of fact, I like to call it "Blinghampton", with an extra "L". Actually, if you can find a reference for that fun fact with and without the "P" that would be neat. doxTxob \  23:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Update: the propriator of a non-profit in west Binghamton says Binghamton was once an incorporated town, and that there was once a lawsuit concerning the "p." Binghamton had grown up around a boxcar factory on Broad. It seems the citizens of west Binghamton, primarily white, blue-collar, working-class, didn't want their Binghamton spelled the same way as east Binghampton, which was, and is, primarily black. I'm not sure, i may have some of the facts reversed, or simply wrong, but i'm told it was all in the daily papers: in those days, the Press-Scimitar as well as the Commercial Appeal.

Orange Mound

==== Story of the name ==== (] This is a terrific article with a lot of potential. I have made some minor edits, within my ability. I have, however, heard a story of how Orange Mound got its name, which i can't remember. I wish someone would come up with the story: i think it would be a great addition to the history.

MATA trolley

1st revision

"===Rail service===

MATA also operates a trolley service. Initially opened in 1993, the Main Street Trolley Line uses classic streetcars on a system that has grown to three routes: one serving the riverfront, another serving Main Street in the heart of downtown Memphis and another serving Madison Avenue. The Madison Avenue line is an extension that opened in 2004, as the initial stage of a light rail system that would connect downtown Memphis with the Memphis International Airport and eventually to regional transit service beyond the MATA service boundaries."

Solution to login problem

Thank you so much for your patience. I shouldn't go into panic mode like that when I have a problem: guess I was jonesing. Can you say Wikipedaholic? All I did, as you suggested, was clear my cookies, and here I am, back to cause endless problems on WP, etc. Seriously, thank you, and I'll try to earn it/ pay it forward with my contributions.

Response to Skb8721

Why is the program called Etown? I think this is important to include in the article. --Skb8721 (talk) 15:24, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I've wondered about that myself. On their website, they write about the award, stating, "that's what the 'e' in eTown is for," but it still makes no sense, unless the "e" stands for environment, or maybe "excellence."

Ragityman (talk) 00:38, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

I tried their website again. I have a little trouble navigating it using my phone, but I thought you might want to look at their "About us>what is etown?" They are not too specific about the name, but go to great lengths to explain their philosophy, which I won't try to repeat here. If you prefer, their # is (303) 443-8696.

v. 2

I've wondered about that myself. On their website, they write about the award, stating, "that's what the 'e' in eTown is for." Then I looked at <www.etown.org> at their "About us>what is etown?" They are not too specific about the name, but they go to great lengths to explain their philosophy, which I won't try to repeat here. If you prefer, their phone # is (303) 443-8696.

I actually e-mailed eTown several months ago to ask about the name's origin/meaning, and the reply I received from someone at the show was "We don't know." Which I found surprising. --Skb8721 (talk) 20:42, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Hallelujah! I'm back!

I have been trying to log on for MONTHS! Some of you may have figured out that I was doing my editing while not logged in. I've been using a handheld device with a Safari browser, and I'm still not sure what the problem was (I had forgotten my password, to complicate matters). I may only be able to log on at the library for a while, but the strangest thing is that I can log on to Species.Wikimedia, Wiktionary, and Commons on the handheld, but not onto enWikipedia. I will attempt to load another browser on the handheld (Huawei M860), if support says it's possible. I'm reading in the news that some of the Safari browsers reject cookies by default. I have changed the settings numerous times to "accept," but the way it jumps when I try to log on, not letting me input the password sometimes at all, or not letting me hit "submit" before leaving the page, makes me suspect a software or hardware in·compatibility. Anyway, I'm not gone, just inhibited. I'll figure it out. Ragityman (talk) 00:25, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

With regards to the existential message you left on my talk page, if you scroll down on the section which I directed the page to, all persons with the nickname "Dick" are denoted as such in their corresponding wikilink. Notability there isn't an issue either, as they all passed the guidelines, otherwise they wouldn't have an article would they? Hope that cleared things up at least to some extent cheers ~Helicopter Llama~ 16:42, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Login problem

Logging in requires cookies. Do you know if cookies are enabled on your library's browser? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:17, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

And if it does, you might want to check for plugins, etc that destroy cookies. If any of those are installed, there should be a way to add an exception for Misplaced Pages. Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 23:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your responses! Unfortunately, as a cost-cutting measure, this city has cut operating hours at the library. I checked back on this page several times, but I didn't find your responses until now.

The librarian I was dealing with was not very tech-savvy, but they get the cookie-query often, so I imagine she is correct when she tells me cookies are enabled. She told me also that they had had many complaints about the new computers. Some of our librarians know a lot more, so I will ask more questions on my next visit. Unfortunately our library is large enough that the public has no contact with the real techies. The suggestion about the plug-in which doesn't allow cookies to persist sounds very plausible, but, from long experience with this crowd, I think it highly unlikely that they will enable any special exceptions for wikimedia, or mediawiki, or whatever. The customary attitude and response is usually a stuffy "These are PUBLIC computers. If you are trying to do THAT, you'll have to do it at HOME!" A court with no appeal. However, I only tried one computer yesterday. It's quite possible that cookies are enabled on some machines, but not on others. That also would be in keeping with prior experience.

The physical computer had a Windows 8 sticker on it, but the Start screen indicated Windows 7. No idea of the version. The browser seems to be Internet Explorer 9, once again version unknown. It is a reasonably big library system, with several branches. Sometimes a glitch gets cured at one branch, and then the cure gradually creeps throughout the city. Luckily we are big enough to have other library systems within the city. Sometimes things work out.

Disambiguation link notification for October 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Butler Library, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Page. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Reference Errors on 14 November

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Clay County, Tennessee page, your edit caused a cite error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:35, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

In reply to the message you left at User talk:A930913: When you look at the page after your edit, for example by following the diff the bot linked to, you'll see a big red error message: Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). That was because you removed a ">" at the end of a "</ref>" tag, breaking the reference (and potentially quite a bit more) in the process. The issue was fixed by Sfan00 IMG. As an aside, that "olde English" text you considered so silly is a more-or-less quote from this movie. I rather doubt notifying admins about that will produce any measurable effect. It's supposed to be hidden under another message box when people edit the talk page on ReferenceBot-related business, but that may not work on too-small screen sizes.

page (assistance occupation)

I've split the article at page-boy. Since you were one of those who supported the split, I was wondering if you could perhaps, in any way, help expand it from its current state? Thanks :) --X7C3 (talk) 16:34, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

May 2016

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on User talk:Whiskeymouth.

Warning is in regard to this edit. If you have a problem with an editor, discuss it with that editor, don't go behind their back and start drama about said editor(s) with someone else. Doing so creates hard feelings, delays getting a true resolution, and usually becomes the beginning of disruption. I suggest you try to work out a compromise with John and Softlavender. If they won't budge, just let it go. Arguing over the use of one word is not worth getting so upset over and trying to trash another editor's reputation. Such created situations rarely turn out well. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:24, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Irony, thy name is Winkelvi given warnings to others about not assuming good faith.
