Files

Hi,

I notice that you've been working on the file additions by Elisa.rolle. I've been working on those on User:CaroleHenson/sandbox2. I'm just trying to figure out my next steps, if any. Are you finishing this up and I can step back at this point?

Thanks!–CaroleHenson (talk) 04:39, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

I was intending to work on the 10 or so articles left which are marked as current in her contribution list, and then I planned on stopping. I figured that those articles not marked as "rollback" had been dealt with by you or some other editor. Have we overlapped, or have I stepped on your edits? If so, I'm sorry. I'm pretty much taking the articles as I find them without being overly worried about what elisa.rolle's edit was, just approaching them as if I was editing any other article I had come across randomly, and doing what I would normally do - the exception being the ones where e.r had removed her image(s), in which case I look at what the image was and decide whether to restore it or not before I begin the normal editing process. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:05, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

There were some that popped up on my Watchlist - and then I went to your contributions and noticed article names on the worklist.

In a couple of cases, too, I reviewed the articles but didn't make edits, like John McCormack (tenor) where I thought the image was ok. It does looks very similar to the main photo, but it's a different expression - so I let it pass. Not a big deal, though, I can easily see it called a duplicate because he's about the same age as the main photo.

Go ahead with what you're doing and I'll check back in the a.m. You've been doing a nice job cleaning up articles as you've gone through them.–CaroleHenson (talk) 05:19, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

There are still some articles that are labeled "current" in ER's contributions that I haven't looked at and aren't on the worklist. I am going through those, too.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:58, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

OK, I'll check the status of things after work today. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:08, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited United States declaration of war on Germany (1917), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Evening Star (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.

ANI-notice (it wasn't me)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Kleuske (talk) 11:36, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks very much. Tempest in a teapot closed before I even got there. Beyond My Ken (talk) 14:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Portrayal of East Asians in Hollywood

BMK,

I hope I can impose on you for a bit of help.

I edited this sentence for its english, then I chewed a bit about it. Knowing next to nothing about Hollywood, I'm unqualified to decide on this statement's value; but I wonder how well it might be supported and whether a reference can be found for it. You sometimes edit movies and theather articles, so I wonder whether you can provide some input on it, or point me to somebody who can.

Thanks, 82.57.69.86 (talk) 08:15, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

BMK,

allow me to put that on hold - I received notice that references for it are already present and I failed to notice them. I'll go through them later today or tomorrow as soon as I can devote an hour or two to their study.

Sorry for the intrusion.

Seems just a matter of deleting a (quasi-)duplicated statement. Let it be a lesson for me; always check the whole paragraph even when things seem tame.

My apologies for contacting you uselessly. 82.57.69.86 (talk) 13:30, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

No problem. Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:25, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

I put up orphan/problematic/useless userbox templates at WP:MfD. For Template:Voluntary_protection_program (and redirect Template:Voluntary_protection_Program ?) I guess that it would go at WP:TfD but it's not orphan yet, unless the articles were edited or first deleted (I think you have all PRODed those). Thanks, —░]PaleoNeonate█ ⏎ ?ERROR░ 02:08, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Oddly, my MfD entries have gathered no attention so far, while a more recent entry the same day did. I'm not sure if I missed something (those were my first MfD entries, here). —░]PaleoNeonate█ ⏎ ?ERROR░ 18:48, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't see them listed when you posted your first comment here. I just assumed that they would pop up eventually. Have you checked to see if they're listed on the master discussion list at WP:MfD? Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:51, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

I see them as 2.2.2 - 2.2.8 there. Do you? Thanks, —░]PaleoNeonate█ ⏎ ?ERROR░ 20:48, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

OK, I see Template:Voluntary_protection_program on April 16 at WP:TfD, but that's not yours. I'm still looking around MfD. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC) Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Found 'em. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:55, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Nice, and thanks. I was slighly worried that the documentation may have been outdated and that an automated tool did yet another step which the documentation didn't mention, preventing people using tools from seeing them. I thought for a moment about "stealth banning", but considered this very unlikely . I then checked if the page was not under a special pending-changes protection and it was not. Thanks again, —░]PaleoNeonate█ ⏎ ?ERROR░ 00:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Since he's the only one to have edited from 197.42.0.0/16 in the last two years, I've rangeblocked it for a month. Black Kite (talk) 10:30, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Your move of the Inwood–207th Street article

I would ask that you would refrain from making unilateral moves without first discussing it at WT:NYCPT. Thanks for your cooperation. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 19:38, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

As per my Commons talk page, "Inwood" is in the title of the page. It is on the official map and in the MTA internal data. Please don't change it without reliable sources indicating otherwise. Thanks. epicgenius (talk) 19:58, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

• @Epicgenius: "Internal data" is not sufficient, if no one has access to it. Please provde a link to a public document in which "Inwood" is included in the name of the station. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:38, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
  • @Beyond My Ken: OK. Here are some official public MTA documents:
    1. "Subway Map" (PDF). Metropolitan Transportation Authority. September 2021. Retrieved September 17, 2021. "Inwood 207 St"
    2. "A Subway Timetable, Effective December 17, 2023". Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Retrieved December 16, 2024. "Inwood-207 St"
    3. Elevator Out of Service at Inwood-207th Street A Station Until Further Notice
    4. FASTRACK Returns to the ACBD in Upper Manhattan "A Subway trains will be suspended in both directions between 59 St-Columbus Circle and Inwood-207 St"
  • If you need more proof, I am happy to oblige. epicgenius (talk) 01:17, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

No, that's good enough for me. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

The hell??!! —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 12:59, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

LRG5784: Some people with apparent OCD think they OWN Misplaced Pages, and are the reason why so many Readers take the site with a grain of salt. I traveled that subway line for years and, yes, you are correct: the station was referred to as "Inwood". My sympathy in your good efforts being thwarted by a sad, petty person with a history of harassment claims on Misplaced Pages against him. - Downtown Boy
