Oops! Thanks for correcting my accidental edit. I don't actually have a recollection of that happening, but it doesn't surprise me. I think I clicked the wrong link.

no damage done. but terming it as vandalism continues every time the page is being blanked. is there a way to request the administrators specifically? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tinyme.cksr (talk • contribs) 11:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
objection to the attempt to blank the page "Alathur Srinivasa Iyer" being termed as vandalism. in edit summary it was clearly stated that the information on the page was spurious and misleading and that more reliable information on the same subject was available at "Alathur Brothers". a good faith speedy deletion consideration message was received from the administrators but no action was taken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tinyme.cksr (talk • contribs) 11:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I added on an article that is pertinent to Pakistani Americans - their identity evolution. How does that constitute vandalism or an unhelpful link? Since when did you become an expert on the subject? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marisella (talk • contribs)
If you inappropriately canvass other wikipedians again you may be immediately blocked by me or any other admin.
I have innumerable diffs regarding your canvassing (easily viewed in your contribution history).
The evidence is clear, and I don't think that there is anything further to discuss about it.
However, if you still feel that this warning is unfounded, please feel free to start dispute resolution regarding it. - jc37 06:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Alansohn is correct to abstain from further notices, but this kind of notification can be done by precedent, at least the way I read it. It's moot right now, but it seems that if we can notify every editor of an article that the article is up for deletion, we can notify everyone using a userbox that it's up for deletion. There was an administrator who was blocked for notifying everyone who had contributed an image of themselves to a gallery, and when the gallery was nominated for deletion, he started to notify them, and he was blocked for canvassing. And he left Wikipedia over it. But the action was found to be allowed. Now, a suggestion, put the userbox and category on your watchlist, folks, if you want to be notified if this comes up for deletion again. By the way, I support Flagged Revisions, but dislike repression. No process is open, so now would be the time to notify users of the userbox to watch it. Ask me how to do this with minimal disruption. --Abd (talk) 22:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
By the way, starting dispute resolution, if you care about the matter, is a great idea, and the admin is to be commended for recommending it. WP:DR works, but it's not for the faint of heart and the uncertain of intention. Still, it starts out very easy and simple, and the first stages are not disruptive at all. More people should try it. --Abd (talk) 22:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Again, I have no interest for or against flagged revisions or userboxes. This was a good faith effort to notify users about something they would have no way of knowing about. While I still believe that the threat of a block was unnecessary, I have stated that I will refrain from anything that could remotely be considered "canvassing", though I still express my deepest concerns that the way this works helps ensure that those affected by a planned deletion of a category will never know about it. This notification was done exactly in the same way that I would have done in notifying editors of an article if a page is nominated for deletion at AfD. Alansohn (talk) 00:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Alansohn,
Earlier today you warned a IP, 222.152.26.235 (talk · contribs), about vandalism on Punjab_(India)#Demographics. For some reason the IP went to my talk page (no clue why). Anyways, the numbers had been vandalized before and the IP was actually trying to correct them. The first sentence of the Demographics section says Sikhism is the most practiced faith in Punjab, and roughly 60% of the population belongs to the Sikh faith. Before, the article said 10.90%, because it had been vandalized earlier. I've fixed the numbers now, but in the future, do a quick check in the article, or its history, to see if an IP is catching on to previous vandalism. Shubinator (talk) 06:10, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello Alansohn, I understand your frustration, but I suggest you refactor your comments to be a bit less accusatory. I'm not a CfD person, but I too have found that CfD (and IfD) tend to be a bit out-of-sink with the rest of XfD. That said, there are certainly less "ranty" ways to make the same arguments and anything perceived as ranting often results in people !voting the other way just to counter the rants (so people don't get rewarded for it I've assumed). Just friendly advice, take it or ignore it as you wish. Best of luck! Hobit (talk) 13:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
for the welcome
as there are two uses for the term head shot, do you think I should add the other use? it seems fair to show the different ways the term is used.

Alansohn, I've blocked you for 55 hours for your continued violation of your arbitration-imposed editing restrictions. Continued incivility, assumptions of bad faith, and personal attacks will not be tolerated during your time under this restriction. In particular, this comment has more of the above violations than I really care to enumerate. But to summarise somewhat, you (1) stated that an editor willingly "spit in the face" of consensus, which constitutes an ad hominem attack and an assumption of bad faith; (2) made a generalisation that certain editors "come" from the "backwater of CfD" and are therefore somehow unfamiliar with or antagonistic to the "rest" of WP, which constitutes an ad hominem attack; (3) suggested that some administrators who work at closing CfD discussions are being "disruptive", thus constituting an ad hominem attack and/or assuming bad faith; (4) suggested that others have used personal attacks against you, thus constituting an ad hominem attack; (5) suggested that administrators have made "knowingly false misrepresentations of policy to abuse process", thus constituting an ad hominem attack and an assumption of bad faith. I also note that this comment was made after a relatively pointed warning from User:Jc37. I'm not sure if your comments were an attempt to "test" his warning or what, but it does make your violation all the more unacceptable. There are other problematic comments, both within the comment linked to and within other comments. I encourage you to use the time away from WP to consider how to avoid violating your editing restrictions in the future. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:30, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi I am author of Bhaktaraj Maharaj. I wanted to have speedy deletion of this article. And as I am the substantial contributor of this article I blanked the page to initiate the Speedy deletion. following is the policy that i followed.
"Author requests deletion, if requested in good faith, and provided the page's only substantial content was added by its author. (For redirects created as a result of a pagemove, the mover must also have been the only substantive contributor to the page prior to the move.) If the author blanks the page (outside user space), this can be taken as a deletion request. "
Pls let me what is the right way to initiate speedy deletion otherwise.

Hi there, Alansohn. I just thought I'd let you know that the bot at AVI is requesting attention from multiple admins because it's backlogged. - Eugene Krabs (talk) 01:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
I have undone this version of the article, because the additions were unsourced (which violates Wikipedia:Verifiability), and were written in the first person (which is discoraged per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#First-person pronouns).
I note that the article has been the subject of edit warring recently, which is never good for the encyclopedia. I am posting this message to the talk pages of the involved contributors, and hope that they come here to discuss the issue and come to a solution, instead of resorting to coninual back-and-forth in the article itself. -- saberwyn 08:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
[3] Philip Trueman (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I'm going to have to disagree with your assessment of my large edits in Aldo Moro as vandalism. 1. I stated my reason for the deletion on the talk page. The sections I deleted clearly represent a "fringe theory". To summarize, it appears the information alleging that Moro was killed indirectly by the CIA was added by a conspiracy theorist who claims, quote:
At this point, which is well after the terrorism of Gladio has been public acknowledged, the only thing "ludicrous" is the blind acceptance of explanation by government officials who time and time are busted in lies. Frankly, the story about "Red Brigades" is absurd, Aldo Moro was obviously assassinated by the US/UK/NATO. Furthermore, it seems that a reference to Webster Tarpley, who was commission by the Italian government to investigate Aldo Moro's assassination and who determined it be US/UK/NATO, is missing here. This yet another blatant case of Wikipedia disregarding its own NPOV standard for political reasons, covering up acts of treason not only against Italy but also the USA and the UK in the 9/11 and 7/7 articles and many others.
Among its sources are an anti-CIA newsletter, Carlos the Jackal, the world's notorious assassin, and a member of the Red Brigades. The rest of article states in great detail the overwhelming evidence that the Red Brigades killed Moro. Frankly, it was a disgrace. 2. I had already reported the Cluebot's false positive when I reverted its edit. Joker1189 (talk) 21:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC) Thank you for reverting the edit. I know you were only trying to do the right thing, and I probably would have done the same. Sorry about the misunderstanding. Joker1189 (talk) 16:32, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello Alansohn, just a quick message to say that when a page is blanked, please always check the page history to ensure that it is not the creator blanking the page, if it is then the page can simply have ((db-blanked)) placed on it. A edit you made to Greenish Blue reverted a blanking of a page by the page creator, thus please remove your ((uw-blanking#)) warning from User talk:Dger. Also I know this is difficult when using huggle or twinkle, as I use huggle myself, but this is, in my opinion, a serious issue, as it means users are left with warnings they don't deserve, anyway, good work in the recent changes and thanks!

Please be aware of WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG#WNTI.

I know you are on infrequently of late, so I wanted to give you a heads up now. The discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Schools#List_of_administrators_in_school_articles has gone dormant now for almost a week. I don't expect anything to change. The discussion had six other people agreeing that the list of administrator sections should not be present, and nobody supporting their retention. I am going to resume removing those sections in the next few days. You've laid a number of accusations on my regarding my intent. I've tried to ignore the accusations and focus on the issue. I self-suspended removal of the sections pending further discussion, and twice informed you that your input at the discussion was welcome. I am taking the further step of informing you of my intentions moving forward, given the support seen in the discussion. I've tried everything I can to keep this cordial. I sincerely hope this ends our disagreement on this issue, and we won't find ourselves at loggerheads again when I resume removals of these sections.

Hammersoft, look at this edit and justify your action, using a Wikipedia policy or guideline that mandates the removal of the content, the section and / or the source. You've never answered this question.

If you are going to add hometown and high school for an athlete's article like you did for Garrett Dickerson. Don't put it in the lede, create a new section.

Hi there, just wanted to speak with you about your recent edit of Clifton, New Jersey, in which you undid essentially all of my previous edit. I don't have a vested interest in the page, and only happened upon it because your edit broke a reference tag that I patrol for. But now that I'm looking at it, I don't quite understand the changes. Captions do need ending punctuation when they're complete sentences, list entries generally don't take ending punctuation, and phrasing like "from 1914–1919" isn't right (should be "from 1914 to 1919" or simply "1914–1919"). I also trimmed some unnecessary words and caps. I was honestly just wondering why you undid these fixes, particularly as your edit mentioned "standardizing wording," but my edits were in line with the MOS as I understand it. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 06:38, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for quality articles, including hundreds of DYK articles, such as Gerta Keller and Louis Henkin, for U.S. schools, school districts and legislation, for navboxes, including Template:New Jersey, for service from 2006, - repeating from ten years ago: you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Regarding your reversions to these articles and the following edit summaries, "rv chg per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG re use for populated places)". Although MOS:INFOBOXFLAG does say Where one article covers both human and physical geographic subjects (e.g., Manhattan, which covers both the borough of New York City and the island of the same name), or where the status of the territory is subject to a political dispute, the consensus of editors at that article will determine whether flag use in the infobox is preferred or not.
, I am unable to locate the debates in which it was decided by consensus that their use is preferred in these three "settlements".

Alansohn,
Why are you removing the link to PogoData.org from the Little Silver page? It is as relevant to Little Silver as is the links to school data, school report card, and school performance report. None of those are about Little Silver itself yet they remain in the Little Silver page.
The PogoData.org site contains many statistics directly relevant to Little Silver: population, geometric characteristics, crime statistics, voter statistics. How is that NOT about Little Silver? It includes thematic maps showing the distribution of property class and assessed value for parcels in the town. How is that NOT about Little Silver. It contains charts showing the distribution of many quantitative characteristics of the town. How is that NOT about Little Silver
Your first reason for the removal was 'remove promotional external link unrelated to the municipality'. PogoData.org is directly related to the municipality. The next reason you gave was 'remove link to site about properties in Little Silver, not about Little Silver itself; see WP:ELNO'. Neither of these reasons are consistent with the content of PogoData.org. It is not a promotional link any more than the link to the school performance sites are promotional and it is directly related to the municipality.

Guild of Copy Editors March 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2019, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in January's Backlog Elimination Drive. We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48 requests for copyedit in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Blitz: Thanks to everyone who participated in the February Blitz. Of the 15 people who signed up, 13 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed 32 copyedits, including 15 requests. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 23:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have completed 108 requests since 1 January and the backlog stands at 851 articles. March Drive: The month-long March drive is now underway; the target months are October and November 2018. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Sign up here! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events. |

I was browsing Compiled Statutes of New Jersey which contains information about municipal and county shifts throughout NJ's history. The one about New Brunswick from 1850 was intriguing. It transferred the western portion of the City of New Brunswick from Somerset County to Middlesex County and, subsequently, that portion of Somerset County (already within the City of New Brunswick) from Franklin Township to North Brunswick Township.
What this seems to suggest is that the City of New Brunswick had existed in two counties, and existed atop two townships. Even after the transfer, the residents of the western part of the City of New Brunswick (now all in Middlesex County) were said to now be residents of North Brunswick Township and not Franklin (i.e. the City of New Brunswick was within North Brunswick Township).
Today, municipalities are all separate entities. If you're in the City of New Brunswick, you are NOT in North Brunswick Township (a separate municipality).
When did this all change? What was the nature of a "city" in the mid-1800s? Since you've done so much work with NJ municipalities, I figured you might have an answer. Any sources available to read about these changes in state municipal law? Like I said, today, municipalities are separate entities and have been for as long as anyone seems to remember.
This sort of reminds me of the current villages of New York state which exist atop portions of towns, and can span both town and county lines. Did NJ once have such a system? Was New Brunswick a city in two townships in two counties? And when did we get our modern system? No one seems to know, and I can't find much information.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article John C. Bartlett Jr. is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John C. Bartlett Jr. until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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. Bearcat (talk) 16:01, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs, Ceranthor, Lee Vilenski, and Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Queensbridge Houses, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Orleans Jazz (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Perhaps it was accidental, but in an edit here, you substantively undid the edit of a user you are in an IBAN with. I take no stance on the validity of either a) the original edit they undid, b) the reversion of Magnolia677 which undid that original edit or c) the reversion AND addition of source that you did. I have not, am not, and will not make any comment about the content of those string of edits nor on their veracity or correctness because that has nothing to do with what I am about to say. Please take care to abide by the interaction ban you have with them, agreed to by mutual agreement and confirmed by community consensus here 4 and a half years ago or so. I assume you merely forgot about it or were unaware of whom you were interacting with. As far as I know, this is the first, only (and hopefully the last) time this has be an issue. If you would like to revisit the ban, please start a discussion at WP:AN or similar asking for community review. Thank you. --Jayron32 19:32, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello Alansohn, I think this is how you do this (write back). I'm a new editor so hopefully I got it. This is my first attempt at doing this.
Thanks so much for your comment to me/explanation on some of the articles I've edited about NJ school districts. It seems like you know your stuff (you talked about a rule/policy or something I wasn't aware of) and because of that, I'll leave any edits you changed back alone going forward. I've been editing pages where stuff is outdated, especially in regards to....
Thanks also for your comment about the criteria for notable people to be listed. I just read an article the other day about that girl from North Brunswick (the lacrosse player for the Puerto Rican U-19 national team). You're right how she is kinda unknown to the world at this point. I'll leave it alone for now, but maybe next year or sometime in the future if she makes headlines or something (when people know who she actually is), we can add her back to the list.
I also just read your info page and looks like you've been doing this for quite a while now. Keep up the good work!
Thanks again, Sean Cavanaugh (Cavanaughs)

The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Hey I just read your message on my talk page. I initially felt it was unnecessary to add “(also formally known as ________ High School _____)” especially since I listed that in the infobox, but I can agree that both should be mentioned. The only change that needs to occur should be on Hamilton West as the actual name of the high school is Hamilton High School West which I will change on all articles later today.

I resent the accusation in your edit summary that my edits on the Cynthia Sayre article were "disruptive". They were certainly not. I have a long list of over 70,000 edits showing the improvements I have made to Wikipedia. You are suggesting that I am intentionally making it worse. That is bullshit. I am always to trying to improve—and to learn from my mistakes. Many Wikipedia editors, perhaps even most of them, are more interested in being stubborn than in learning from others. It takes humility to learn and it takes courage to change one's mind. The use of "from" when referring to a person's birthplace is at the very least debatable. If it were not at all debatable, then maybe you would have a point. As a practical matter, saying that a person can be "from" more than one place necessarily invites people to pile on more useless categories and fill Wikipedia with more junk. There is plenty of that already. We can debate logic. We can debate practicality. We can't debate whether I have acted on bad faith because destructive edits are something I have never engaged at any time in my life when I have edited. So let's cut that out right now.

My 1988 Almanac of American Politics says he was born in Boonton and grew up there. Not born in Hackensack or grew up in Parsippany though he was a politician from the latter as the Almanac lists his residence there. The Almanacs are very reliable sources. Any comment?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:20, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

I recall a discussion (in which we were both involved) some time ago as to whether NJ municipalities should include fed, state, county, & local government representation. I believe that consensus was to include that information. Do you recall? And if so, do you know the location(s) discussion took place? Thanks. Djflem (talk) 16:01, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
I've deleted these categories because the article doesn't support them. He can't be an alumni of Ocean County College because he only attended the school before dropping out (check Early life section: "He briefly attended Ocean County College, but dropped out."). Also, where do you have the information that he is connected with places like Bradley Beach or Ocean Township? He was born in Long Branch. The "attended Freehold Borough High School" part is also unnecessary because it is already listed at the end of this section: "In ninth grade, Springsteen began attending the public Freehold High School, but did not fit in there either." Besides, we list the categories in alphabetic order, see Michael Jackson. BartSmith85 (talk) 13:04, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

But most of the Solomon Schechter Day Schools don't have individual articles. As with Chaim Bloom. So this is for now the only place to reflect them all in a list. --2604:2000:E010:1100:A8C0:1F73:ABE1:8A5E (talk) 03:04, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
First, if the person is obviously notable, say - an Olympic athlete - why would they need a wikipedia article? I don't think there is a rule that says they do, but educate me, because maybe I am wrong. Anyway, all of the people I added did have articles, so this isnt really relevant to what you deleted.
Second, look at List of Harvard University people. Lots and lots of people who don't have sources in the list itself, but only in the person's article. I have a feeling you would not just go ahead and delete those entries (maybe at most you would tag them). If you did delete them, I think there would be a storm of protest. So why apply tougher rules here. Isnt it better to be even handed?
(Also, the question for a list is never whether it is "needed," because no list is "needed.")
Let's just collaborate. Work together. One person improves an article, the next person improves it more sort of thing. --2604:2000:E010:1100:A8C0:1F73:ABE1:8A5E (talk) 04:25, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

The WikiCup is over for another year! Our Champion this year is Adam Cuerden (submissions), who over the course of the competition has amassed 91 featured pictures, including 32 in the final round. Our finalists this year were:
All those who reached the final will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field. Awards will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
We have opened a scoring discussion on whether the rules and scoring need adjustment. Please have your say. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2020 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

Don't the urban enterprise zones pay half of the NJ sales tax which is 7%, so the uez cities pay 3.5% at eligible businesses, not 3.3125 like you stated in the Camden article.
