Uncasville, Connecticut

For your information I have re-redirected Uncasville, Connecticut to Montville, Connecticut. Information and history about Uncasville is found under the latter and not in the Oxoboxo River article. In the future please discuss any proposed changes that you wish to make in the appropriate talk page. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 02:53, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Cities proper

Hi, greetings! About the page List of cities proper by population I just wanted to tell you that the last population you put as of 2010 is metropolitan and you know no metropolitan areas are suitable for city proper. The modified registred-based estimation counts the metropolitan areas of the administrative centers which is all cities and towns in the entire provinces except villages and this population is actually the population of the province without the villages. You can check in the site of the Statistical Institute and if you compare the 2000 data of citypopulation.de: Province - 10,018,735 ; City - 8,803,468 and 2010: Province - 13,255,685, City - 12,946,730 you see the difference between city and province in 2010 is negligible. Pensionero (UTC)

:Currently the administrative city encompasses most of the province except for a handful of cities. Aside from the population growth, the city boundaries were also enlarged, and this is why the province and administrative city limits are now almost the same. In fact, according to the [http://www.ibb.gov.tr/en-US/Organization/MunicipalHistory/Pages/AnaSayfa.aspx Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality website] (see last 2 paragraphs), the administrative city is now identical to the province. --Polaron | Talk 17:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Please, clarify the source on male/female Life expectancy break-down

Dear Polaron, would you like to presise where from did you take data for making a break-down for Life Expectancy in the article List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy. The reference to "United Nations World Population Prospects: 2006 revision – Table A.17 for 2005-2010" leads us only to the average Life expectacy between male and female. I would be grateful to you if you found the initial source. Front315 (talk) 10:19, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Rochambeau march route historic sites

I restored March Route of Rochambeau's Army: Old Canterbury Road, an article which you have a couple times obliterated by redirecting, in what appears to be a low-grade edit war. This article is linked now from Plainfield, Connecticut, National Register of Historic Places listings in Windham County, Connecticut and from Washington–Rochambeau Revolutionary Route (and also from User talk:Polaron/Archive1 ).

You've noted in edit summaries that the site is "described" in the Rochambeau route article, but brief mention in the text there is immaterial to whether an article about the historic site in Plainfield can exist. It's a notable topic; there is a linked NRHP document and a map in the article already, which were obliterated for readers by your redirects. There's a whole lot more detail that can be added. I will proceed to develop the article. I suggest if you disagree, that you open an AFD about the article, which could conceivably result in it being redirected. But I expect the consensus of editors will be that the article is obviously notable and it will be kept. Or, we could have an RFC about the question, to attract other editors.

As you know, there are 4 more similar articles, which I also intend to restore:

Please discuss here or at the Talk page of the article, okay? If you are not inclined to agree with me, please state how you intend to proceed. I will assist in opening an RFC if you wish for that, to obtain wider consensus. I hope it will not be your intention to proceed by redirecting. Redirecting is obviously disputed by me. --do ncr am 18:02, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

P.S. If your point is that those specific articles should have been better developed, I could accept that. Am developing them. However they already included info, including clickable individual reference with photos of site for readers, that are not in your merger target article. I seriously don't understand why you would target those 5 out of the 28 historic sites linked from the Rochambeau route article (and now included in :Category:Rochambeau route which might soon be renamed). --do ncr am 04:03, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

:Okay, I see you chose not to discuss but rather to act by making multiple obtuse redirects again. Can you please explain how on earth you think this improves wikipedia, to lose good information in the articles you have now redirected? --do ncr am 02:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

::This improves Wikipedia by consolidating multiple things that are fundamentally the same and have very limited unique descriptions into one accessible article. All useful information has been retained so no good information has been lost. --Polaron | Talk 02:51, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

:::Whatever your idea, your proceeding unilaterally to try to implement something is not good, hence the current edit warring noticeboard. I personally am interested in these historic sites and have devoted some time to developing materials about them. What do you think, your obliterating a bunch of articles is gonna be happily accepted. Your bland assurance that nothing is lost is not true; specifically you lost geographic code information and NRHP infoboxes and you disconnected a bunch of inbound links from Connecticut town and village articles and NRHP list-articles. Even without my checking to see whether you lost more basic text and references. I am not completely opposed to some other arrangement being set up, but your proceeding by non-consensus contested redirect/deletes is not winning me over. --do ncr am 03:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

::::Again, nothing substantial has been removed. All the important content and references are still there. Inbound links will be taken care of by redirects. If you want to add geo coordinates, I'll do that. --Polaron | Talk 04:58, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited List of historic sites preserved along Rochambeau's route, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rochambeau (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.

Hi Polaron, I notice you added info to Butts Bridge article which i recently created, and to Samson Occom Bridge article. Your info was not supported by any source in the article. Would you please add your source information? As you know, unsourced information can be challenged and removed at any time; i did already remove your added info from one and will for the other soon, assuming you don't respond promptly. We've been through this before...why not add the source right when you are working from the source? Or it has the appearance of trying to cause contention and attract attention, that you edit an article soon after me, perhaps expecting that I will naturally object to your unsourced info.... --do ncr am 02:34, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Polaran, I just wanted to make you aware of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Drmies#Mass_move_proposal_-_metropolitan_areas this discussion] I started at admin Drmies talk page. :) --76.189.111.2 (talk) 04:11, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Principal city

Thank you for the improvements you made to Principal city.

[http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2010-06-28/html/2010-15605.htm Notice: 2010 Standards for Delineating Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas] made a number of significant changes to the rules for identifying principal cities. We should update the article to reflect these rule changes.

A less important point is that [http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/bulletins/2013/b13-01.pdf OMB Bulletin No. 13-01: Revised Delineations of Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Micropolitan Statistical Areas, and Combined Statistical Areas, and Guidance on Uses of the Delineations of These Areas] identified principal cities for every Metropolitan Statistical Area, Micropolitan Statistical Area, Combined Statistical Area, Metropolitan Division, New England City and Town Area, Combined New England City and Town Area, and New England City and Town Area Division; not just the Core Based Statistical Areas and New England City and Town Areas as the article states.

Great work, Buaidh 19:47, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hortonville

I noticed that you merged Hortonville, Massachusetts with Hortonville Historic District recently. The merge is fine with me, but shouldn't the title be Hortonville, Massachusetts, since that's the common name for the area (at least according to the [http://mhc-macris.net/Details.aspx?MhcId=SWN.C NRHP documentation]?

"use town name"

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_counties_in_New_Hampshire&oldid=573576165&diff=prev

North Haverhill, New Hampshire: "North Haverhill became the county seat of Grafton County when the county courthouse and related offices moved in 1972 from Woodsville into a new office complex on Route 10 just north of the North Haverhill village center."

Haverhill, New Hampshire: "The village of North Haverhill is the county seat of Grafton County."

Nothing says a county seat must be an incorporated place. --NE2 08:03, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

:Actually, according to the Haverhill town website, it is [http://haverhillnh.org/]. See also the community profile [http://www.nhes.nh.gov/elmi/products/cp/profiles-pdf/haverhill.pdf]. In any case, because North Haverhille is the town center and the postal address for like most of the town, this isn't really a big deal. If you like putting sections of the town, that is fine but that is not what the official sources say. --Polaron | Talk 12:32, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

:See also the community profile for Grafton County [http://www.nhes.nh.gov/elmi/products/cp/documents/grafton-cp.pdf]. If you have better sources that say otherwise, let me know. Otherwise, I correct the table soon. --Polaron | Talk 15:26, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

::Here's a good question: if Haverhill, New Hampshire is supposed to be about the town, why are the coordinates given those of the village in the southwest part of the town? --NE2 09:16, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

:::Good question. I don't know who placed those coordinates but they don't match that given in the GNIS for the civil division of Haverhill. That village is the original settlement but never really developed. The vast majority of the town civic history takes place in the town center, which is North Haverhill. This is reinforced by the use of the postal address "North Haverhill, NH" for about 75% of the town. --Polaron | Talk 11:53, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

reverts

You reverted a number of my edits with no explanation anywhere. I removed the Villages category when nothing in the text of the article indicated the place was a village. A census designated place is not the same as a village. And categories cannot be used unless the text of the article supports category inclusion. Thanks Hmains (talk) 01:42, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

:You removed the village category from actual villages. Just because the article currently does not explicitly say it does not negate its being a village. In Connecticut, anything that is not a municipality is a village or neighborhood. Census-designated places are a secondary label that some villages also happen to have. In fact, census-designated places should be made a subcategory of villages since some villages are CDPs while others are not. --Polaron | Talk 02:28, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

::CDP are an independent category structure and they may be towns, villages, parts of cities or towns, or just unincorporated areas. The national category structure shows this. Your statement that these populated places are villages does not stand up to the requirement in the WP category rules that a category must be supported by text in the article. No text; no category. And your statements are then just personal opinion regarding the place with no references to support it. Hmains (talk) 04:08, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

:::That is exactly why you should not remove the village categories for villages just because they also happen to be CDPs. As you said CDPs are an independent structure. In Connecticut, all CDPs are villages so there is no contradiction. --Polaron | Talk 15:02, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

:WP:CAT states the text of an article must support the category or the category cannot be used. You also cannot just add the word 'village' to articles without any cited reference in the article justifying this--and you present nothing except personal opinion statements. Your edits are disruptive in not following WP rules and will be treated as such. Hmains (talk) 16:16, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
You were hereby warned that you are reverting my edits 3 times or more while refusing to engage in any discussion. Continue with this path and you will be reported to the proper WP monitors. Hmains (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
I see you are continuing to ignore WP rules requiring reference citations to support article content and just making up content based on your own opinion. Hmains (talk) 04:44, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

New proposition

Currently, articles of:

Larger Urban Zone has one source - Eurostat, according to :Wikipedia:Consensus or/and :Wikipedia:STATUSQUO
List of urban areas by population and Largest urban areas of the European Union has one source - Demographia, according to :Wikipedia:Consensus or/and :Wikipedia:STATUSQUO
List of metropolitan areas in Europe has few sources, according to :Wikipedia:Consensus or/and :Wikipedia:STATUSQUO
List of urban agglomerations by population has one source - United Nations, according to :Wikipedia:Consensus or/and :Wikipedia:STATUSQUO

I have a suggestion. Sometimes, different users (mostly new users) try to change the articles, add false/incorrect data or correct data with other sources - without discussions and consensuses. My proposition: block these articles, if a user wants to make a change - first discussion. Subtropical-man (talk) 21:06, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library, in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor
May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library, in the Digital Scholarship Lab
June 25th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (exact location TBA), where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.

Kishwaukee

Hi, I have created a new disambiguation page from the redirect you made at Kishwaukee. You had redirected the term to Moosup but since I saw no mention of Kishwaukee in the Moosup article I didn't mention it on the disambiguation page. If you know how "Kishwaukee" relates to Moosup, please mention it in that article so that Kishwaukee can then be fully disambiguated. Thank you.– Gilliam (talk) 04:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of New England Interstate Route 19

The article New England Interstate Route 19 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

:This road does not appear to pass notability requirements. A search for sources comes up empty-handed. The article itself acknowledges that the road was never even signed.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Tim Pierce (talk) 23:40, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of [[:New England Interstate Route 19]] for deletion

File:Ambox warning orange.svg

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article :New England Interstate Route 19 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/New England Interstate Route 19 until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. —Tim Pierce (talk) 15:28, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

On Saturday April 30, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fourth Wikipedia edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.

The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Asian Month, and Art+Feminism.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Totoket]]

{{Quote box|quote=

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

|width=20%|align=right}}

A tag has been placed on :Totoket requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of Totoket

File:Ambox warning yellow.svg

The article Totoket has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

:"Totoket" appears in the literature as place names but not as a tribe. No references.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required.

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

A training session on editing Wikipedia will be held at 12:30 pm. Experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand to assist throughout the day. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, 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.

The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.

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.

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.
