Speedy deletion of Taos Society of Artists

A tag has been placed on Taos Society of Artists requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

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 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Scapler (talk) 00:39, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I had at no time hinted any sort of collusion and if I offended you, I apologize. My point was that your line of argument should ideally be avoided in deletion discussion and hence I referred you to the said guideline. Sleaves _talk 15:13, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I recently had a bit on contact with Alois Lang's grand (great-grand?) son but have not managed to squeeze anything out of him yet. It is interesting to note how many of these (our) sculptor's descendants (after skipping a generation or so) are looking around for what can be found about gramps.

Proposed deletion of List of biosphere reserves in Tanzania

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of biosphere reserves in Tanzania, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non notable list. Only three things on the entire list.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Deerfield Square

Hi, Lockley. I saw that at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Deerfield Square you said that the AfD notice on the article was malformed. That's because when a contributor uses Twinkle to create an AfD page, the notice automatically has a red link. I don't know why it does this, but I do know that if you want to fix the notice, all you have to do is make an edit on the article (Deerfield Square). You can make a null edit and the red link will automatically disappear. I have done that for this article here. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 06:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I could not stand it any more

that the so-called article for architectural sculpture here was simply a redirect to a really (opinion) smarmy piece Architectural sculpture in the United States, so I started a real article. No point in giving away the store, but you might want to add a thing or two, a reference, photo, something.

John Collier (artist)

Well, as you asked, here's my reason. Disambiguation pages are for disambiguation. Nothing is ambiguous about John Collier (artist) until a second artist with the same name appears. People who type into search 'John Collier' get the disambiguation page; people who type in 'John Collier (artist)' know where they're going! Macdonald-ross (talk) 15:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

   Well said, except it sounds like Lockley wanted to use John Collier (artist) as a Dab page. If so, then whenever there is an artist John Collier with an article that keeps that title from having a WP:primary topic, the two will be dab'ed w/in (a section of) the John Collier Dab page. John Collier (artist) can't become an INCDAB, but it can (and perhaps should already be) a Rdr to the appropriate section of the existing Dab.

There seems to be a dispute over this edit that you made in 2007 to the article Bauhaus ] in particular the line that reads: Meyer was also compromised by a sexual scandal involving one of his students, and Gropius fired him in 1930. - Was this a joke or a serious incident?

WikiProject Industrial design and Design Portal

I recently posted the following text on Misplaced Pages regarding the creation of a new Visual arts/Technology-related project in Misplaced Pages:

WikiProject Industrial design is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Industrial design (also called Product design).

• If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 900 articles on Industrial design in Misplaced Pages...
• At least, it's more than for Typography, and there IS a Typography WikiProject...
• And it's more than the Fashion WikiProject with 482 articles...
• There is also an Urban studies and planning project and a Video games portal so...
• Now you can also see a proposal for the Design Portal. (that portal would be for Industrial design AND Graphic design/Interior design)

Please support this initiative,

Hello Lockley! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 29 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Will Bruder - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks Lokley, I appreciate it. I do feel strongly about this, probably too strongly.

Proposed deletion of Charles Whittlesey (architect)

The article Charles Whittlesey (architect) has been proposed for deletion because under Misplaced Pages policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Misplaced Pages:Referencing for beginners or ask at Misplaced Pages:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Coolug (talk) 06:52, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

that's dumb. the article plainly says the subject died in 1941, and it also provided a source. --Lockley (talk) 07:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Good work in general, I've noticed you've started adding a bunch of much-needed content about Belgium. Thanks for that. I've also noticed that you mark almost every edit you make as minor; generally minor edits are only for correcting spelling or grammar mistakes or changing the formatting.

The Athenaeum Theatre in Paris

Hi editor Lockley. I noticed that you have made edits to the article on the French playwright Jean Giraudoux. I also noticed that you are interested in the arts. I have recently begun building an article on the Athenaeum Theatre. It is a wonderful building—one of the most beautiful in Paris.

I am looking for people who are interested in creating quality articles on the plays of Jean Giraudoux and related subjects. The Athenaeum Theatre is closely associated with Giraudoux. With your interest in architecture, I wondered if you just might be interested in contributing to this article.

Giraudoux is not a big enough subject to be a WikiProject; but all of 20th century French drama certainly would be. For a complete outline of my ideas on the subject, see my personal page Project on 20th century French drama. (Notice that several other Paris theatres are also mentioned in the project proposal.) If you are by any chance interested, drop me a note on that same personal page or on my talk page. Thank you for your time--Foobarnix (talk) 21:01, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Pierre Renoir

According to IMDB Pierre Renoir died in 1952, so it seems unlikely he was director of the Athenaeum from 1951–1981. Could this be a different Pierre Renoir? It seems we need a citation for this. --Robert.Allen (talk) 01:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

List of demolished entertainment venues in Paris

Should the List of demolished entertainment venues in Paris include the Salle Ventadour in which the theatre interior was demolished and converted to offices? If we don't move to that list, somebody may think it is still a functioning theatre (unless they read the article). And shouldn't the Théâtre des Arts be included in demolished opera houses? When the Théâtre National was handed over to the Paris Opera in 1794, the theatre was remodeled, renamed, and used as an opera house until it was closed in 1820 for demolition. Also the Salle Louvois was used as an opera house in the 1820s by the Théâtre-Italien. Rossini was the director and many of his operas were produced there. It became quite popular. It was also demolished. --Robert.Allen (talk) 03:24, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Athenaeum and other theatres

Hi Lockley-- You and Robert.Allen have done some nice work on the Athenaeum and other theatres in Paris. You may notice that I have been tinkering with some of these same theatre pages. If I am bumping into your work, let me know and I will back off. You guys obviously know a lot more about the subject than me. Sometimes I just like to organize, add consistency, and neaten stuff up. I am busy adding to my list of French drama project ideas. Kudos to you both.--Foobarnix (talk) 10:13, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

French drama additions

Hi Lockley. Do not worry about removing stub tags. I think your rule of thumb is probably correct. Go ahead and delete them when your judgement says to. I was not sure if I should be including them anyway. I guess I did so in an excess of caution—I am still scoping out the Misplaced Pages culture and practices.

Do you think there are any Paris theatres that I left out of my list of Closely related articles? I particularly want to someday address the close historical and artistic connections between these theatres (particularly the Athenaeum ), Giraudoux, Louis Jouvet, and French drama in the interwar years in general.

I am mostly done with my (but mine no longer when I hit that Save button!) Ondine article (probably needs pruning) and am going to start work on Maurice Valency. Best to you--Foobarnix (talk) 22:36, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Category:American alumni of the École des Beaux-Arts

I'm curious why you created this category. I know of no other division of alumni categories by nationality, and unless the school segregates in some way, it seems that nationality and school attended would be an irrelevant intersection. postdlf (talk) 22:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Here's why it makes sense to me. The cadre of American artists and architects coming out of the Ecole and back to the U.S., beginning with Richard Morris Hunt in 1846, had a profound effect on American standards of professionalism and craft. It was the best education available in the world. That group more or less composed a single extended social network and more or less created what people these days call the American Renaissance. In my opinion it's a natural and meaningful category. Lockley (talk) 22:55, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

System D and Tuchman

Hi, in Oct last year you removed the reference to Tuchman's book "The Guns of August" as "not supported by source". It is indeed in the source on page 394 but the wording could perhaps be adjusted. Could you please enlighten me? V29 (talk) 20:44, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Of course. I removed this sentence: "In The Guns of August, Barbara Tuchman uses the term to describe the normal operation of the French military in the beginning of WW1." To me that's way too broad, and could be seen as insulting. Tuchman does use the term. She was describing one specific hasty repositioning of two reserve divisions, not the whole conduct of the war. --Lockley (talk) 06:42, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

If you have time

Some time ago, you did a huge and very nice gesture checking the article “Ethereal being” and removing the copy-edit Tag. This article has been improved the last six months until few days ago some user(s) messed it and filled it with tags. Would be possible you check again the copy-edit issue, and remove the tag if seems ok to you? Ah, you may find strange the article, that’s because, after that, other user downsized all the images (not the ideal, but he said that were wp rules… kind of, I think). If you are too busy, don’t worry, I absolutely understand, Thanks anyway.

Hi Lockley, sorry I have forgot one other thing (if it is not too much asking). I started a stub to French philosopher Jean Chevalier, do you know who could have the expertise to expand his biography? Best, Hour of Angels (talk) 17:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi there Lockley. Sorry take so long for appropriately replying you, I think I owe you a right expression of gratitude. So, I just would like to thank you for your assistance in “Jean Chevalier”. In fact I asked for others favors too, but of course, I appreciated anyway what you could to do. And specifically I’d like thank you for your words of encouragement made in that occasion (meant a lot of difference to me)and your frank sympathy. All best, Hour of Angels (talk) 15:08, 18 June 2011 (UTC).

Thanks for your work on the short film categories. However, please don't remove the parent category of Category:American films, even if it has sub-cat, per WP:FILMCAT. If you have a query about this, please raise it at the Film Project's talkpage. Lugnuts (talk) 19:10, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

New Category: American silent feature films

Hi Lockley, that's a great new feature started in the categorys of American silent films. Is that a bot or are you actually going through your paces linking up each film. While I'm not keen on too many categories, this new one sorts out 'features' from 'shorts' such as two-reelers and also 'serials' which are several films in one. Again great initiative . I don't know what's to happen to the old "American silent films" category, should we keep it as a supplementary category or do away with it. Also are you good with uploading film poster? I ask because of my bungling with The Barrier, a marvelous French release poster of this lost silent film. Thanks much again. Koplimek (talk) 16:48, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

   You placed

   Great, tnx, but since you're online, tell me about John Collier, above, which somehow caught my eye: was your concern about others of that name in the arts? It seems to me perhaps "(artist)" is too vague for him; do you mind commenting?
--Jerzy•t 07:07, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

John Collier II

In fact, i've added to #John Collier (artist) above, in that regard.
--Jerzy•t 07:23, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Jerzy, I'll bow to your opinion here. It's 18 months later, and my only observation is that "John Collier (painter)" would be a more accurate and helpful name for "John Collier (artist)". Frankly, I don't remember what the original issue was! --Lockley (talk) 07:33, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

William Desmond Taylor edits

I'm doubtful about the 21 December 2011 edits made to William_Desmond_Taylor. I have seen no contemporary evidence that Taylor directed A Soul Astray, A Story of Little Italy, The Son of Thomas Gray, The Beggar Child, The Song of the Sea Shell, or A Slice of Life. Taylor's film career is fairly well documented, and I have seen nothing to indicate that he worked for American Film until 1915. IMDB is very unreliable. According to scholarly U.C. Santa Barbara web site http://www.filmandmedia.ucsb.edu/flyinga , A Soul Astray was directed by Thomas Ricketts; A Story of Little Italy and The Son of Thomas Gray were directed by Lorimer Johnston; The Beggar Child, The Song of the Sea Shell and A Slice of Life were directed by Henry Otto; Even if Taylor did direct those films (which I doubt), what makes them "notable"? They were not feature films and made no impact, then or afterward. If they are listed, then I suggest the "notable" adjective be deleted. Pikabruce (talk) 17:15, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I've responded on the talk page for that article. --Lockley (talk) 20:14, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I did not know

that Morley was connected with the Fisher Theater. Gadzoooks, it is a small world. The Morley house in Santa Fe is one of the original Pueblo Revival events, now surrounded by an 8 foot (give or take) wall. Morley's efforts as a spy in Central America during WWI is another odd moment. I received a disc in the mail, a friend is looking at it for me. Life here is even more intense than normal.

Willi Münzenberg

“Barred from entering Britain after the mock trail, Münzenberg toured...” In fact he had already been barred from entering Britain before the mock trial − that's why Otto Katz did the work there. Furthermore he lived in unmarried union with Babette Gross since the early 1920s. ----84.167.170.182 (talk) 12:15, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I understand. The cited source uses the phrase "refused entry into Britain for the mock Reichstag Fire Trial", which I took to mean "because of" the trial. I'll fix that word. --Lockley (talk) 20:00, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Trail or trial? It looks like a bit too superficial work. The British denial to permit him entering the country had to do absolutely nothing with the mock trial. He had been a renowned Communist and his congresses against imperialism in the 1920s might have been reason enough. ----130.83.12.163 (talk) 18:54, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay, 130.83.12.163. I'll fix the typographical error you've pointed out. The rest of the phrasing of my contribution is already consistent both with the cited source and with your point. --Lockley (talk) 19:38, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm at work, and am not paid to think, but yeah, it all feels great. (Librarians operate mostly on feelings) When I get home I'll post and send the maps, and since HI and AK are seperate maps with little to show the Lower 48should do the trick.

Thank you for your recent articles, including Bayonne refinery strikes of 1915–1916.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Thank you for your recent articles, including Bayonne refinery strikes of 1915–1916. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject. You do not have to rate the article if you don't want to, other WikiProject members will do it. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow thm to start tracking the articles through Misplaced Pages:Article alerts and other tools. This can help you too, as the WikiProject members will often defend your work from deletion and try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information.

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Misplaced Pages editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Misplaced Pages editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi 17:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Convict Leasing

Hello Lockley. Thanks for the edit regarding the Selma Rome & Dalton Railroad reference within the convict leasing article. I think that there is still a problem in that the article includes a link to a Georgia and Alabama Railroad article that includes the statement: "The Georgia & Alabama railroad began operation on June 1, 1989..." Thus, it can't be the convict-lease-era Georgia & Alabama railroad, given the start date of 1989. (I was not sure if this comment should be on my talk page, your talk page, or the article talk page. Please let me know if I have responded inappropriately. Thanks. Cycloneta (talk) 04:09, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Lockely, I like all the new dam articles you have been making, particularly List of United States Bureau of Reclamation dams which is a great overview to what they did in the west. I am curious though if you wouldn't mind adding Template:Infobox dam to anymore new articles you make. It will save an editor time later if they expand the article and you can plus the coordinates in for a map which can add context to an article w/o an image. Thanks.--NortyNort (Holla) 18:52, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

A good thing about the infobox is that it will expand just as much as the info in it, even if it is a little. Great idea on the use, I thought we had everything in there. Most lists of dams include the uses and the infobox should too. I will get to it in a week or so and can update articles too. I will finally have some free time here shortly.--NortyNort (Holla) 00:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Formatted references

Hello Lockley. I noticed on the many articles you have been creating that the references aren't formatted, just bare URLs. One of the biggest problems on Misplaced Pages with bare URL references is that if/when the link becomes dead, it is hard to find that source for verification. If the title, author and year are in the the format, it makes it much easier to find the new target or another URL that hosts the same source. In addition, formatting references gives the article a more professional and trustworthy appearance. To make this easy, I use the refToolbar on my editor which formats my references quickly. Keep up the good work and if you have any questions, please let me know.--NortyNort (Holla) 17:13, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

No problem. I also added a "purpose" field to the infobox...a long overdue addition.~~----

Disambiguation link notification for September 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of dams and reservoirs in Maine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Flagstaff Lake (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Redundancy

Hi Lockley, I noticed that you recently added some information to the Rasmussen Reports page. It looks like the information you added, as well as the reference that you cited, are already used in the article under the "criticism" section. I am new here and not sure how these things work, but should that information appear twice in the article? Let me know, thanks. Unlawfully blonde (talk) 01:17, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Unlawfully blonde. I wouldn't call that redundant. The first mention of Rasmussen's overall performance in 2010 is a short summary. In context it balances and corrects what would otherwise be a clearly promotional tone and multiple claims of accuracy. The second mention is longer and more detailed, and it belongs where it is, in the criticism section. I have to say, I don't see a problem. For a new user I have to congratulate you for being a very fast learner. Cheers. --Lockley (talk) 03:42, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, that makes sense. But I am going to consolidate the references because it looks like the link you provided was already used twice in the article. --Unlawfully blonde (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

List of historic places in...

Just wanted to point out that all of those articles are referenced. Just not in the usual format. If you look at the IDF, IDP and IDM columns most of them have a link to a page at historicplaces.ca that references the entries in the article. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 23:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I changed them back. Must admit I hadn't thought about a note in the reference section. It would probably help. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 23:46, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations

on your new updated figures.
I'd love to "clink", but both both my glass AND the bottle are empty. How 'bout I come over and help you finish yours off? Carptrash (talk) 02:29, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll pass Eva Emery Dye on to Kara, who just got a job at the University of Akron (all right - blue link) teaching Women's Studies. In fact, she seems to be the whole dept. Life is good - esp. Since other daughter Eila is no longer on STRIKE in Chicago. Carptrash (talk) 03:05, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help.

Hi Lockley. Thanks for casting your eye over this page. It's my first! I've added references but am unsure how to get them to show... would you be able to 'do your magic' so that they will show on the page? Thanks Shenko316 (talk) 16:31, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

2013 in Comics

You recently tagged 2013 in comics with having too short of a lead. It has the same lead as all the other years in comics, but I wanted to check with you before removing the tag. Did you have anything specific in mind for how it needs to be improved? Argento Surfer (talk) 18:42, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

What are the facts in the article Milford Battlefield which you think need to have more sources? Please explain at Talk:Milford Battlefield. Taylor Strand (talk) 12:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm SarahStierch. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Susan Owicki, and have un-reviewed it again. If you've got any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Thanks, SarahStierch

Le Solitaire (film)

Hello, I appreciate the fact that you are taking interest in French films. I have got the very film at home and over the years I watched it about ten times. Before I wrote the English article I read the German and the French Wiki article and I watched the film again while I wrote the article. All the information provided in this article is covered by the IMDB and Allmovie, except for the plot. I was once told that the film itself was a source for the film's content. Obviously it is not. So I removed it. Please tell what I can do better in the future. Shall I provide the ISBN number of a DVD release of the film? Does the PAL version suffice or is the ISBN number of the NTSC (American NTSC that it, of course) required as well? NordhornerII_The man from Nordhorn 02:15, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello again, thank you for your explanations and your recommendation. For some time now I have been busy with filmographies of successful French actors. Just today I added a wikitable to the biography of Karin Viard. Once I am done with my list, I will check existing film articles for possible improvements (like translating French role descriptions, adding infoboxes and more external links etc.)... I wrote the aforementioned article only because somebody had put the title into "my" wikitable (Belmondo's filmography) and providing an article of that very name was a way to get rid of a redlink (without hurting the feelings of the contributor). Thanks again. NordhornerII_The man from Nordhorn 01:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Dirichlet integer

You marked this article as reviewed today. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I wondered whether your review addresses the fact that the article is unreferenced, and, as I pointed out on the talk page, there seems little reason to believe that this term is used in English? Deltahedron (talk) 19:10, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how to proceed. There's an inconclusive discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics/Archive/2012/Feb#Dirichlet_integer_translation_from_french. Deltahedron (talk) 22:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

ho ho ho

I do believe that this card explains
a lot of the hitherto misunderstood
and even ignored origins of a variety of Christmas stories.
I am considering writing an article about the theology involved
but am having a difficult time with sources.
Oh well,
have a good one, it does appear
that we have made it through the worst of 2012,
which is a great start to 2013
Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:35, 24 December 2012 (UTC) Say Lock, think that I could get away with this article? I am still working on it, but . . . ..... Carptrash (talk) 19:56, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
I have a few more citations that I am working on, then some pictures, and then perhaps I'll ask you to pitch in. We'll see, it's all a bit strange, thinking in the past tense. There are a fair number of references and links, but we'll either see or not. Everyone is fine, Mom probably least of all. Carptrash (talk) 15:31, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Jewish Religious Year—Page Curation

Hi. Just saw "unreferenced" tag on Jewish religious year as added by WP:Page Curation. With all due respect, I plan to remove that. This article is intended to be a list pointing to other things, almost like a disambiguation page. I explained in some detail why I created the article, and what it is supposed to do, at its talk page.

I'll wait until I hear from you, but I think the tag should be removed. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

References

Hi! Could the ref tag be dropped from the Navarredonda de Gredos article? Best regards.--Pseudousuario (talk) 16:33, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Same question. This time about San Juan de Gredos. If the tag is also droppable here I ask you permission to proceed in similar cases. Anyways, it would be a helluva bot that one that creates articles and cites some references at the same time. That is not the case. Best regards.--Pseudousuario (talk) 00:03, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

1999 1. deild karla

I would like to ask, because all the information in the article is from a single page in the book referenced, whether adding that fact to the reference list would erase the need for inline citations. Additionally I would like to point out the unreliable way pages get reviewed, I have created a lot of similar pages recently (and will create more in the future) and only two of those have been labeled with the inline citations box, while most of them have been simply marked as reviewed and left at that. Whom should I listen to, those who say inline citations are needed or those who don't seem to bother mentioning it? Thanks, Leifurf (talk) 23:56, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
