No longer want to be reminded that this was my very first outreach on Wikipedia...
Hey, Cheerful Squirrel...
I guess you've been around a lot longer under other names but wow...like holy wow...you removed my entire edit because I added a line break? I mean, that's it...I separated the opening paragraph from one into two. And my entire +2,000 edit has to go!? Which also reverted a second follow-up edit?!
Like, total wow. Not even joking. Gonna need you to fix that revert.Shortiefourten (talk) 02:46, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
No worries...I knew you'd change it back. I was joking/laughing as I wrote to you, I mean, how could you not, over a spacebar move! Good luck in your future coaching!Shortiefourten (talk) 03:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Howdy. I thought your draft for this was really good. I would have moved it directly to article space myself but it needs to be requested at WP:RM#TR, as a redirect is in the way. Anyway, congrats on the article. --- Possibly ☎ 03:09, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Good Humor | ||
for some unorthodox edit comments that brought a grin to my face! Grutness...wha? 04:33, 14 November 2021 (UTC) |
Thanks so much for the "Thanks" and for awarding me the Barnstars regarding the creation of the Chehalis Gophers page!! I greatly appreciate your passion for the region and your work on Wikipedia. If you do create an article section on Millet Field, that would be excellent, it appears that there is some interesting history regarding the park. Keep up the great wiki work! Skilgis1900 (talk) 14:47, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
No worries. The thing to keep in mind is that the AFC process was initiated because far too many new editors were creating articles that weren't even remotely ready to actually be in articlespace, because the notability and/or the sourcing weren't even close to where where they needed to be. But if the process were "create draft and then move it yourself as soon as you're technically able to move pages", that would still defeat the entire purpose: people only have to make ten edits to Wikipedia before the move right is opened up, and an editor can literally make ten edits within one or two minutes of registering a new username, so draftspace wouldn't be an even remotely effective control because no page would ever actually be stopped by it. So drafts have to be reviewed by AFC reviewers, not just moved by their own creators within a day or two of being created.
I would also ask you to think a little bit about whether an international encyclopedia really needs an article about every individual city park in a small city of just 7,000 people. Parks aren't all automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — when it comes to run of the mill topics like streets or parks or buildings, where there are literally millions or even billions of them in the world about which very, very similar articles could also be written, getting a topic like that into Wikipedia isn't so much a question of just verifying a few facts about it, but of demonstrating a reason why its existence is much more special than most other examples of the same class of topic. That is, the question isn't "would this article about a park in Chehalis be interesting for a resident of Chehalis to read?", so much as "would this article about a park in Chehalis be important for a resident of New York City to read?" What's the reason why somebody on the other side of the country, or even the world, should consider the park across the street from your house to be considerably more important than the park across the street from their house?

FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 10:17, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Hello, Shortiefourten!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! S0091 (talk) 20:06, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Opened a question for this decline over at that action desk thing...no worries. I understand where you're coming from. Thought it would be easier to list why I did what I did over there. If I need to spin them off on to separate pages, no problem!
Thanks for the review and approving the other two. Have a great one!

Hi @Shortiefourten: I saw your recent changes to U.S. Route 12 in Washington, and saw that your changes were reverted because WP:NOTGUIDE. That made me want to save off the paragraph you added somewhere, so I looked on Wikivoyage (which ISGUIDE, I believe), and found (what I think is) a vaguely correct place to put it. See wikivoyage:Talk:Lewis and Clark Trail for my comment on the subject. I decided to look at your user page (User:Shortiefourten) to see if you were likely to go over to Wikivoyage and add changes there. I found that this wasn't your first encounter with deletionists, and that you already seem to be pretty experienced as an editor. That made me sad, because I'm more of an inclusionist myself, and have frequently found myself frustrated with deletionists in my twenty+ years of editing. I took one of the pages you highlighted ("Ruth, Washington"), and copied one of the last versions you worked on to "User:RobLa/Ruth, Washington". If you're interested in working on a "notable" version of "Ruth, Washington", I'd be happy to work with you on that. I'm an admin, and can undelete Ruth, Washington and move it to Draft:Ruth, Washington, working on it with you (and hopefully others) until we feel comfortable moving it back into the main namespace. Do you want to do that (rather than merely mourning the deletion of Ruth, Washington)? -- RobLa (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
Have you considered trying out the Simple English Wikipedia? There are less deletionists there, and it really needs help with its coverage of rural Washington. The article on Chehalis there is a two-liner stub! Basically, I think you would enjoy editing there, and the site could really use an editor like you. QuicoleJR (talk) 18:32, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Shortiefourten!
Thanks so much for the note and kind words! Glad to have you back making wiki contributions!
There are so many colorful and interesting things that are associated with minor league teams and their history. Your ballplayer minstrel show research is great little nugget! It is fascinating, hilarious and so unique all at the same time. Yes, I think it is intriguing part of the Chehalis Gophers history of the team and most certainly worth including on the team page. Great find! Skilgis1900 (talk) 06:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Glad you are still active. I was looking at your draft for the History of theaters in Chehalis, Washington, and it looks pretty good. There is one thing, though, and that is the name of the article. I looked at a few other articles, and precedent would name this Theater in Chehalis, Washington or List of theaters in Chehalis, Washington. There are currently no articles using the "History of theater in X" style, while we do have Theatre in the United Kingdom, Theater in the United States, Theater in Chicago, List of theatres in California, and List of theaters in Colorado, to name a few. Other than that, it looks like a great article! Thanks, QuicoleJR (talk) 16:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
