Talk:Vince Young

Picture
How is this picture of VY? The user who uploaded he image listed it can be used under the Creative Commons - Attribution rule. --Blueag9\talk 08:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Nice image, but no good for us unfortunately unless they are willing to change the license. The Attribution rule is OK, but they also specify "no derivative works".  We would probably want to crop it at a minimum, which counts as a derivative work.  Also, we try to enable downstream use and that could include anything.  They might be willing to relicense it to allow derivative works if you contact them. Johntex\talk 08:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

2006 NFL Draft
The last part of the first paragraph is inaccurate, McNair was traded after the draft and Drew Brees signing with the Saints is irrelevant since Young was never a likely choice for them. I did not want to just remove that part since it has been that way almost a year and I have no prior edits. Manic000 16:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

VY's baby
I'm not doubting that VY has had a child, but is this website, MediaTakeOut.com, a reliable source? I did a Google News search and this website was the only one that mentioned the baby. Nothing from a Houston paper (VY's hometown) or an Austin paper or a Tennessee paper. With all the issues surrounding WP:BLPs lately, I think we should err on the side of caution and remove this claim until a better, verifiable source can be found. If anybody disagrees, then revert my change and let me know what you think.↔NMajdan •talk 17:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Madden NFL 2008?
What about Young being the Madden 08 cover athlete? Should we mention that? I mean, it's official; EA even said so.Bobman123 18:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It is fine to mention it in the article. However, if you add the box cover to the article, it can't be the top image in the infobox.  That needs to be a free picture. Johntex\talk 17:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Vince Young Career Highlights
The message on top is starting to get annoying. Has there been a consensus yet whether to merge his highlights or not? I think a separate article is appropriate for the sake of making this article smaller in size.  Blue Ag09  (Talk) 03:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Went ahead and removed the merge template. Moved article to Vince Young career highlights due to a naming convention problem.  Blue Ag09  (Talk) 08:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * There is a template at the top of the new article to discuss a merge back into this one. Has anyone comment on this? Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  15:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think most of it needs to be deleted and very few should be merged back.  Most of his college achievements are UT records he set, and I dont think they're worth mentioning and is trivial information.    The awards are already covered in here, so that should be good.   I think the question should be, are there "significant coverage from independent sources" about Vince's career accomplishments?  Corpx 15:55, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I would be against losing the information because the records are important. They are easily verified through record books, newspaper reports, etc.  I have no strong opinion at this point whether it is better to have them in this article or a separate article.  I'm happy either way as long as we retain the information here. Johntex\talk 18:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Statistics
Per WP:NOT and WP:EL, it is generally recommended that statistics are conveyed through ELs. This is already done here. If there is some particular reason why Young's college stats must be included, I'd be curious to know why. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 05:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I fail to see how WP:EL comes into play at all here. WP:EL deals with external links and the content in question has nothing to do with external links.   The statistics part of WP:EL is referring to adding links to 20 sites, which all provide the same statistics.   As for WP:NOT, "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readibility and neatness of our articles." - This is not long and sprawling, nor is it confusing.  In fact, I'd say its short and concise.  WP:NOT goes on to say that "In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader".   This table does exactly that, by putting the statistics in context with his achievements in college.   Corpx 05:29, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, you should not have restored my revert of your removal, per WP:BRD Corpx 05:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * From WP:EL "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons." Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 05:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Nothing is being linked to here - The stats are in the article, not at an external link. WP:EL does not apply at all to this situation.  Unlike NFL stats,  copyrights are not an issue for NCAA stats.  Corpx 05:34, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not following you. The point of that section is that stats are generally left to external links and not to articles.   This is pretty consistent over most athlete articles. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  05:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Those copyright concerns are about his professional statistics, not college statistics. The two other QBs in the draft that year, Matt Leinart and Jay Cutler both have college stats on there, so it is not "the norm".  Corpx 05:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, they should be removed as well. If you have an issue with this, you should take it up at a community talk page like WT:EL.  WP:EL speaks exactly to this point and supports removing the content. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  05:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've asked for comment from there, but you've yet to establish exactly where this consensus was developed regarding college stats. Corpx 06:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:EL is a subsection of WP:MOS. These are guidelines of wikipedia established by community consensus.  You can see WP:PG for more info. If you want to take this beyond this discussion, by all means, but I doubt there will be much support for the inclusion of statistics.  It's a pretty well established point at WP:EL and there is significant discussion on the current WT:EL page and that pages archives. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  06:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Out of all those pages, where does it say that college statistics should be removed? Corpx 06:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * College statistics are not a separate issue from professional sports statistics. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 06:07, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Corpx asked for comments on WT:EL, so I've dutifully turned up to put in my two cents about WP:EL I hope it's useful.  The external links guideline does not say that no "athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts"  should be included in articles.  Only that when inclusion is undesireable because of copyright or level of detail concerns etc. an external link can be a good thing.  I don't believe copyright concerns apply to statistics (though I'm not an expert on such things), but level of detail is always an issue and not one which has a clear cut line to draw.

 * This conversation here would probably be better focused on what content is appropriate for the article for most readers.  You might try collaborating on what information to present and see if you can agree on the appropriate amount of detail rather than thinking of it as an either/or issue.   If not, since you're the only two who seem to be discussing it and you have opposing opinions you may be better off asking for further input from a sports Wikiproject or someone who reviews good articles to see what others think of the content from a reader perspective.  -- SiobhanHansa 13:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * WP:EL says stats should be linked, it does not say that the stats should not be then listed in the article. WP:NOT says stats should be related to the text when possible and put into a table for easy readability. I again find JMF's actions detrimental to the article and the fact we are an encyclopedia. A sports person's stats are an important part of their career. Could you accurately and completely talk about John Elway without listing his statistics? Including statistics are valid to a sports article, as long as it's not the sole item in the article. Further, the copyright status is irrelevant, because it is data; the phonebook analogy applies. MECU ≈ talk 13:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I am in complete agreement with MECU's comments above. The statistics should be included in the article. ~ João Do Rio 02:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Nobody is saying that stats are not appropriate for articles, there is a difference between incorporating stats into the text of articles and providing a list of stats in that format. Career stats (especially for a current athlete) are most often left out of athlete articles.  WP:EL speaks specifically to the stats issue and point blank mentions that articles should rely on ELs for this type of information. There is an aritcle about his career achievements and such and if you guys feel strongly about this, go put the stats table there.  As MECU says, copyright is not the issue here.  I looked at the few FAs that I could find from Baseball, Basketball, and Football - none of them had full stat tables in them.  They were Jim Thorpe, Moe Berg, Sandy Koufax, Bill Russell, Ted Radcliffe (I don't think i missed anyone, but i might have).  Koufax has a one line career stats table, which is a big difference from a season by season recount.  Radcliffe played in the Negro Leagues, so it's fair to assume that he should even be considered (since there are no records for that).  It gets back to one point - this is supported by WP:EL and has been discussed ad nauseam on that talk page.  If you guys want to start a movement to have that information "reworked" or "removed", there are ways to do that.  Consensus can change, but I don't think this one will. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  19:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * All the people you listed quit playing a long time ago.  On the other hand, if you look at Wayne Gretzky, you'll see a career stat table.  Same for Martin Brodeur, Tom Pryce, Alain Prost, as well as most of the cricket & soccer players there.   Steve Dalkowski, a baseball player has a stats table.   It looks like you conveniently picked examples without stat tables to make your point.  You are saying there's a consensus to remove these tables, but you've yet to point out specifically where this consensus was discussed and agreed upon Corpx 19:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I simply went to the three most popular sports in the United States and looked for featured articles. I never said statistics prevented articles from reaching FA.  Again, this is referenced specifically in WP:EL and as the article is very long in nature AND as Vince Young is still an active player, I removed the content.  It is supported by wiki documentation, where as leaving the stats in is not.  It's a personal preference.  If you want to have the WP:EL ammended or outright overturned, I will gladly listen to the discussion, but this has been widely discussed again and again and again.  Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  23:59, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I do not think that this stat box adds too much detail and it looks like the consensus reflects it, from the comments of the 2 other people who replied here, so I'm going to re-add it. I went and looked at Wikipedia_talk:External_links/Archive_12 and while discussed, there is no consensus as to how minimal stats like this should be handled Corpx 01:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Re-adding the information because of a consensus that does not exist is not appropriate. You should remove that information so that we don't get into an edit war.  Again, if you want to have the language adjusted at WP:EL, then please pursue that avenue. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  02:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It is really not about WP:EL. If the community deems it appropriate to have stat tables in featured articles, I'd say there is a consensus for these tables to stay.  So far, you're the only one person objecting to these.   Corpx 03:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It is absolutely about ELs, and you can say there is consensus all you want, doesn't make it so. If you want to address the issue with changes to WP:EL, I will absolutely respect a community agreed upon change. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to tell you. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  15:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You are misunerstanding WP:EL - there is nothing in this page that is intended to be a guide on the suitability of statistics in the body of the article. It simply says that when statistics are inappropriate an external link to them may be a good thing.  WP:EL as a guideline does not cover, nor should it, when statistics are appropriate to be included in the article.  You'll need to look elsewhere for guidelines supporting your position.  -- SiobhanHansa 15:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree that WP:EL doesn't seem to apply here. However, the lack of a cited source for these stats is definitely a detriment...  --ElKevbo 02:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 04 and 05 stats can be sourced from here and here, 03 from here and 02 from here.  These are easy to verify Corpx 03:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with Mecu completely. The stats definitely belong in the article.  Johntex\talk 23:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Madden 08.jpg
Image:Madden 08.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Relationship with Steve McNair -- include in article?
The article says "where he would reunite with his close friend and mentor Steve McNair," but there's been no prior mention of McNair or how this relationship formed.

According to this news story, Young attended McNair's football camps. After McNair's murder, Young expressed his determination to be a "big brother" to McNair's two young sons.

I'm undecided about whether this is worth including in the article. I'm just mentioning it here so people more knowledgeable about Young can evaluate it. Goodguy2 (talk) 11:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * McNair was not "traded" by the Titans to the Baltimore Ravens as stated in the article. He was released by the Titans because his continued presence on the team would have triggered a $50,000,000 roster bonus that the Titans had never intended to pay and only allowed to remain in his final contract with them under the assumption that it would either trigger either a renegotiation or his release.  When the latter occurred, McNair became a free agent and subsequently signed with the Ravens, so there was never a trade.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B10A:D703:407C:BC89:7FC:D940 (talk) 01:40, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Vince Young & Radio (film)
Someone added a paragraph to the "Radio" (film) article stating that Vince Young's nickname is Radio. States Mr. Young is "borderline legally retarded". Whatever that means. Just thought I would add it here so Vince Young fans and supporters could keep an eye on the Radio wiki. I am not 100 percent sure but I am guessing this is BS.

Semi-protected edit request on 3 May 2014
Please add the following to the last sentence in the "Financial Problems" subsection of the "Personal Life" section. The sentence currently reads:

In January, 2014, Young filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Houston federal bankruptcy court.[71]

This sentence in isolation is misleading and historically inaccurate. The sentence should be qualified by adding the following:

On January 30th, Young petitioned the court to dismiss the bankruptcy filing due to a settlement with Adams and Peoples, and a resulting settlement with Pro Player Funding.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Nuage. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nuage~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Timothy McVeigh is listed in this list. I will remove him. This list is for people who "have been executed by the state of Indiana." Mc Veigh was executed by the Federal Government in a Federal prision, that was in Terre Haute. McVeigh was not executed by the state government like the others on the list.

Michael Lambert?!
Who is Michael Lambert? I saw him in the list of those executed in Indiana, and they said he was executed on June 15, 2007, but when I clicked on his name, he's still living! Could someone change his profile or remove him, please? --Angeldeb82 21:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

RE: Your contributions
Dear Chelan County Public Utility District,

First let me say "welcome!"

RE:

 * Chelan County Public Utility District
 * Rock Island Dam
 * Rocky Reach Dam

While you have added great quantity to the articles, you have stripped out all the Wikilinks, and the formatting that we are trying to achieve in all of the articles here. Wikipedia would love for you to help contribute to making a better encyclopedia, but, I must ask that you do it in such a manner as to appear to be similar in format to the other articles. It appears that you just did copy+paste from your website (www.chelanpud.org/) This makes quick work of making the article long, but makes a lot of work for someone else to Wikify the article. I would ask that you complete this task.

Also, items like the reservoir, and fish hatchery, need to be separate articles, they are separate items.

In addition, the photos that you have submitted, don't really work. Showing flowers in an article for a dam just doesn't fly. You might be able to use the flower photo in an article for a turbine screw, but not a dam. These will have to be changed. A dam article should have a dam picture.

The images that you do submit need a copyright tag (Image tags), or they will get deleted by an image administrator.

Please read through the "Manual of Style", "How to edit a page", etc. (see above), and of course ask a friendly neighbor for assistance.

Carry on,

WikiDon 04:31, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for working to clean-up your articles, but, can you look at the other dam articles, and other articles in general (the "Manual of Style", "How to edit a page", etc.), and see how they are done.

Try looking at List of reservoirs and dams in the United States, and then checking out the other dam articles. Also you might search for other PUD's.

Good luck.

Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy

The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) is a UK based organisation for accountants who work in the public sector, accounting firms and other professional bodies where management of public funds are required. CIPFA is the only UK professional accountancy organisation who is dedicated to public financial management. They currently have approximately 14,000 members. They offer qualifications including a professional qualification for public sector accountants as well as a postgraduate diploma for people already working in management.

CIPFA is a member of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies, the umbrella organisation for the British accountancy profession. It also belongs to the International Federation of Accountants.

CIPFA's regional branches cover the Channel Islands, Europe, Midlands, North East, North West & North Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, South East, South West & South Wales and Yorkshire & the Humber.

Designation
Members of CIPFA are entitled to style themselves "Chartered Public Finance Accountant" and use the designatory letters "CPFA". Members who have been elected as Fellow Members can call themselves "Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy" and use the abbreviation "FCPFA".

History
CIPFA began life as the Corporate Treasurers' and Accountants' Institute in 1885, which was later renamed the Institute of Municipal Treasurers and Accountants (IMTA) in 1901. This later became the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) in 1973 when it obtained its Royal Charter.

Qualifications
CIPFA offers a range of qualifications; the "Professional Qualification" is intended for those working in and with public services in the UK. For people outside of the UK there are some International Public Financial Management qualifications; a "Certificate in Charity Finance & Accountancy"; and a "CIPFA Certificate Investigative Practice Qualification" aimed primarily at investigators who have some experience but who lack any formal qualification.

Membership
CIPFA students who have successfully completed the CIPFA Professional Accountancy Qualification and their Practical Experience Portfolio (PEP) are invited to apply for CIPFA Membership. Once membership is approved members can use the designatory letters ‘CPFA’ (Chartered Public Finance Accountant) for as long as they continue membership.

Further routes to membership are available, for example for those with some accountancy qualifications but who must top-up with CIPFA qualifications. There are also arrangements in place with various other professional accountancy organisations where membership, by examination, of these bodies and an appropriate number of years experience in public finance will be regarded as suitable to progress to membership of CIPFA.

Mutual recognition
CIPFA and the Society of Management Accountants of Canada signed a mutual recognition agreement in February 2004.

CMA/CIPFA dual qualification and designations
CIPFA and CMA Canada have a dual qualification which provides Canadian public sector employees with comprehensive financial management and leadership training.

On completing the programme, candidates can apply for dual public finance management and accounting designations as a Chartered Public Finance Accountant (CPFA) and Certified Management Accountant (CMA) from CIPFA and CMA Canada respectively.

CIPFA and CPA Australia signed a mutual recognition agreement in June 2007.

Although not strictly a form of mutual recognition, CIPFA members of 5 years standing may apply for direct entry to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales subject to meeting certain criteria.

CIPFA Group
The CIPFA Group includes, in addition to the main accounting body; Public Finance - a monthly magazine for the public sector; the in-house CIPFA Education and Training Centre with almost 3,000 students at locations across the UK, and works with other places of learning to provide courses locally; and a commercial services arm which provided advice and services for the public sector. They include information and guidance, courses and conferences, property and asset management solutions, consultancy and interim people for a range of public sector clients.

Amazed that no one has welcomed you yet
In terms of the goals of Wikipedia and the concepts behind the use of hypertext for sorting political information, I would imagine that you would be sort of a legend around here. I would be curious to hear what you consider the advantages and disadvantages of Wikipedia in terms of organizing political data. The requirement of producing a coherent article often seems to preclude including some of the types of fascinating information you organize on your website. But in the long term, I'm not so sure this is necessarily the case. I would also imagine that I'm not the first to have wished that the Political Graveyard was a Wiki.

I'm sure fair use could be argued, but I'm no expert, and since it's your logo I figured I'd let you know since you might know more than me. :)

I came to your talk page via Tfine80's, who asked a question on the United States army rations talk page. I haven't visited The Political Graveyard before, but it's a cool, well-designed site on a niche topic.

And I'm finally consistently remembering to sign my name. --TransUtopian 16:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm glad you got a kick out of the article. You deserve continued kudos for your years of work, which is bound to outlast you (but I hope you last a while), and be a valuable tool to political junkies and genealogists for generations to come.

I've found a few more interesting kinships that I'll get my act together sometime and send your way. General/Ambassador James Longstreet married Ulysses S. Grant's 1st cousin. The Dudley-Winthrop Family has more connections, too. Were adding to this in a couple weeks, but it'll be 20-30 years before she's elected to anything :)

WikiProject Michigan
Just discovered, joined. -William Allen Simpson 16:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Cabinet counties
Earlier (on the relevant talk page), I pointed out an error in the map with the article on the Cabinet counties of Michigan. There are ten "cabinet counties", but the map highlights eleven, by incorrectly including St. Joseph County, which is named for the St. Joseph River.

Sad to say, a correct map would show two somewhat separated clusters of counties rather than a single region.

I mention this small error here because you requested such notes, on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. counties. Kestenbaum 07:24, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, actually I wanted to know if there were any errors in my own maps. ;) Anyway, is the new map at Cabinet counties better?  dbenbenn | talk 08:23, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yup, looks good. Thanks! Kestenbaum 17:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Bath School Disaster
Thanks for your note. If you have anything that shopuld be included, let me know. I am also in contact with a number of folks from Bath who are helping me with the reseach and providing pictures for the article. If you need any contacts there, let me know. Jtmichcock 17:52, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Aaron Campbell
I'm surprised of that. Nobody of that age is involved in politics in Italy, as far as I know. Since you had some experience, can I ask you to take a quick look at William G. Pierce? This appears notable as a candidate for the Senate, but I am surprised he gets so few Google news hits. Could that be normal? - Liberatore(T) 12:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd say he's notable as a candidate in the primary. It's early yet.  If he stays in the race, there will be an avalanche of news stories about him.  I doubt he has much chance of winning the primary, much less the general election, but his candidacy demonstrates and gives voice to discontent with the incumbent within his own party.

 * Google is a great thing, but it's not everything. If you Google my full name, at first it looks like 1.3 million hits!  But more than 99% of those are on Russian spam sites which have apparently copied random text, including my name, from the Political Graveyard page footer; the genuine search results fit on a single page, with the usual note that "we have omitted some entries very similar to those already displayed". Kestenbaum 13:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you. I'll keep an eye on the news about this one. - Liberatore(T) 14:50, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I've moved the page into your userspace for you to work on. If you want it deleted later just tag it and it will be deleted. Please remember that the page is still subject to the GFDL, so that if you want to use text fr it elsewhere you'll need to make that clear in the edit summaries and link back to the page history.

Thanks for the kind word. Yes, external links are one of my personal little crusades.

Incidentally, and unrelatedly, I just got a letter "from you" (from your office, that is). I was just telling my wife last night how her elected offical also had a longtime online presence, and here you are! It's interesting how interwoven things can be.

> That band listing you reverted was not only misplaced; I'm pretty sure it was a hoax. "Semi > popular"? "Wonk-Rock"? "Tally Hall"? (A failed indoor mall project on Liberty St.) > Kestenbaum 02:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

They are indeed a band: named, I'm guessing, after the mall. (I tried to turn the Tally Hall wikipedia article -- which is on the band -- into a disambiguation page leading both to the band and to the failed mall, but it got reverted.) Whether they're "semi-popular" or not... I'm doubtful. On another topic, I've had trouble writing the section on the Louis D. Belcher page regarding the bizarre contested 1977 mayoral election. I've included all the stuff I could find online (it was before I was born, so I don't remember it), but if you know anything please feel invited to pitch in. Ropcat 05:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

WW Mayo
Hi. In this article, it is said that double W Mayo was born in Eccles, Lancashire, England whereas in this one it is stated that he emigrated from Salford, Manchester district, UK. Perhaps you know where double W was actually from ? Archie Archibald Tuttle 19:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Why can't both of those be true? He was born in place A; later, he emigrated from place B, winding up at place C.  Kestenbaum 00:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Sure. I was asking you because you mentioned in discussion that you read several bios (or that's one might guess reading your notes). So maybe you're able to fill the gap between A and B. To be more precise : did he start medical practice in Salford and if so what gave him the idea of leaving ? Cheers, Archie Archibald Tuttle 14:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC) ...Since the above lines, I've found, I think the explanation of discrepancies : Eccles is a town belonging to the current metropolitan borough of Salford (it is located next but distinct from the municipality of Salford city). The metropolitan borough of Salford belongs to the greater Manchester Metropolitan County. This area was formerly included in the Lancashire county (i.e before the 1974 revision of administrative divisions). British geography is a delectation. Cheers : Archie Archibald Tuttle 18:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Country subdivision == ==

...IMO splitting the cats into a group of "Administatrive divisions of some countries" and "Political divisions of some other countries" is not useful.

could you maybe change your vote on Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_April_4

and let's discuss this on the project page

Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Subnational_entities/Naming

or Country subdivision page

first? It is really is mass rename, since it not only involves the cats and subcates but also lots of articles. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 01:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

political categories renaming
There are a lot of political categories renaming, it would help to have your feedback at Categories for deletion such as:

 * Category:United States Congressional districts

Just search for polit and congress.

Ben Franklin's Son
William Franklin, Governor of New Jersey. Never heard of him before, but other sources confirm it, he is the bastard son of Benjamin Franklin. Political Graveyard has no mention of him. Dr U 03:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * He's not mentioned in Political Graveyard because I have not included the pre-revolutionary royal governors, with only a few exceptions. Problems: (1) I need to figure out the governmental structures of that era, and (2) I need some way of making sense of the titles of nobility many of those governors have, sometimes to the seeming exclusion of regular names. Kestenbaum 05:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your response. I'd be happy to help do any leg work needed to help you identify the government structures and nobility.  As you know, I have a keen interest in how various political families tie together, and often times the links are pre-revolutionary.  Dr U 05:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

New Orleans Rhythm Kings
I'm happy to contribute in any way I can. I'm no jazz historian myself. In fact, I'm not a particularly big fan of really early jazz (with a few exceptions). But the lack of information about early jazz on Wikipedia is disappointing. I've toyed with the idea of starting a jazz Wikiproject, as I can't believe there isn't already one. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 21:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Lists marked for deletion
Larry - I noticed the new thread for deletion Articles for deletion/List of celebrities with links to the U.S. Democratic Party (which also covers the similar GOP and Libertarian lists), and thought you might want to offer your opinion (and possibly shift the pages' content to your user space, as was done with User:Kestenbaum/List of Republican celebrities of the past). MisfitToys 23:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Dingell
Larry, Do you think that liberal is a fair characterization of Dingell's career/voting record? It seems that for 20 years or so he's been the most conservative Democrat from SE Michigan. I don't know if I'm being too picky about people using the term liberal or if it really is over-used, particularly by those on the right when they don't like someone who may or may not be a liberal. I think of Sen. Levin, Alma Wheeler Smith (whom I wanted for gov), John Conyers and Howard Wolpe as liberals. Gov Granholm, John Dingell and Debbie Stabenow strike me as from the moderate wing of the party, or centrists like the Clintons.mp2dtw 05:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Malcolm X
I think we ran into some kind of technical glitch; it was not my intent to revert your change. I was merely changing his place of death from Harlem to Washington Heights, Manhattan. Both your edit and mine are time-stamped to the same minute, and mine must have trampled yours inadvertently. I certainly will not stand in the way of your including the other cities in his category list.

Unrelated, my serious beef with the article is that it is basically a summary of the Autobiography, which is, like most autobiographies, a selective and biased summary of the man's life. Changes made by editors in the past to include information from other sources have been swiftly edited out by others who reason, perhaps "this new material is less favorable to Malcolm X than the only source with which I am familiar, therefore this editor is biased and must be reverted." This article will not be good until that is fixed. Uucp 10:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks, and I have fixed the categories (including alphabetizing him on category pages under X instead of M). Yes, strongly agreed that other sources should be used and taken seriously.  Kestenbaum 16:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Elmwood Cemetery (Detroit, Michigan)
Well, that is very interesting information. And should be mentioned in the article. It is hardly anything that could be easily inferred from the article at present. older ≠ wiser 19:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Mark Hackel
Thanks for your support on keeping this article. I don't understand why someone 1,000 miles from a place would care about an article about someone from a place a 1,000 miles from them so much that they would put up such a fight to get the article deleted. I tend to be an include (almost) everything kinda editor. I know that the article is not that good, but it was never intended to be a novel.

By the way, I used your political graveyard website last year to research G. Mennen Williams —great website.

Real property & indexes at registers of deeds
Hello there. Since this is my first attempt to edit an article in Wiki, I'm a bit amazed at the quickness to which my contribution is subjected to revision. Even while I was reading the saved copy, and trying to smooth out links, the edits were redacted and links made unneccessary. (Woah, get those horses under rein!)

I am hardly an authority on all U.S. states' real estate law, far from any legal eagle on exact terminology, and my experience as a genealogically-interested researcher is limited to four states so far. But I wonder greatly about the fine distinctions you imply by changing "real estate" to "estate in land". And I really don't believe you should attempt to make a one-state reference to one of several (? or only two?) typical practices. (Iowa is one of about a dozen states that use the Torrons title system, I think.)

But I hope that the topic will be the better for our joint attention... Best regards, Tom Kohn

p.s. I don't yet know about setting up my user talk page, so do reply on yours.

 * Oops, sorry about that. I don't remember changing "real estate" to "estate in land", but sometimes weird things happen when two people are trying to edit a page at once.  I think I jumped in there to fix a typo or something, and ended making a lot more changes than I planned.  While I was at it, it occurred to me that "recorder of deeds" ought to link to Torrens.

 * Absolutely, two heads on this are better than one.

 * My understanding (which is Michigan-centric and could be out of date) is that Iowa has the Torrens system for every parcel in every county, and it makes unnecessary a lot of the work that realtors and title companies do in all the other states. Some specific places (like Wayne County, next door to me) have a tract index, but that's not the same thing as Torrens.  Some states, like New York, have enacted legislation to make it possible to put a property on the Torrens system, but the cost of doing so is very daunting and few owners have taken advantage of this.  So I changed both articles to stress Iowa's pre-eminence.

 * Go ahead and make what edits you think are necessary, and I'll check back tomorrow or so. Kestenbaum 18:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Citing the Political Graveyard
Hi, do you have any preferences for how citations for The Political Graveyard should appear? For example this version of an article uses Template:cite web:

Most of the time, where I cite it, I use something like this:
 * The Political Graveyard

I'm almost inclined to create a template specifically for the site, somewhat similar to CongBio. I just wondered if you had any preferences and any advice on the most reliable way to link to entry for a specific politician. Cheers. older ≠ wiser 14:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Belated reply: I don't have a strong preference about citation. I did come across a Political Graveyard source template earlier (a startling discovery at the time), but maybe it has been deleted since then.  I'm too tired right now to go hunting for it.

 * The site will shortly be moving to a different server, so it doesn't make much sense to mention a "publisher".

 * Probably the site's name ought to be prominent, and mine mentioned later or not at all. That template I found earlier didn't mention me at all, just that "this article incorporates facts from The Political Graveyard" or words to that effect. But I'm certainly not hiding my name, and if standard citation practice demands that it be included in Wikipedia source notes, I won't argue.

 * Links to entries on specific politicians seem to work very well in Firefox, not so well in Internet Explorer. I have someone working with me on update and redesign, and I expect that will be addressed. Kestenbaum 07:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Bill Sali
The anonymous fellow on the Bill Sali page is REALLY starting to try my patience, and I could use some backup. Could you take a long at the discussion page/recent history and get involved, please? I'd really appreciate it. (Please respond on my talk page.) Thanks!

--texasmusician 02:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Understood. An occasional third/fourth voice on the discussion page would be nice, particularly when it's just him and me back-and-forth on the same reverts (for the first time, we seem to have hit something we can't de facto compromise on), and a nanny tiebreaker would be appreciated. I'm too much of a Wiki amateur to know the official mediation process. Anyways, thanks for whatever you can do!

I have a new comic on sale at the Vault of Midnight on Main St. in Ann Arbor. It's called ACTOR COMICS PRESENTS #1. Spiderman & the Hulk are on the cover; my story is on page 47. I wrote Vampirella in the 70s...I'm now a singer/lyricist in a band called FRANKENHEAD; a video of my song LET THEM RISE was on the 2005 Halloween episode of a local punk rock show, Crazy Mark TV. You should be able to get it directly with this URL (takes forever to load; be patient):

New NRHP Collaboration Division
Hey, saw you were a participant in the National Register of Historic Places WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:09, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Could you have a look at these articles and their talk?
Could you have a look at these articles and their talk?

 * Jewish reactions to intelligent design
 * Jewish opposition to evolution

I feel the articles are extremely well sourced and balanced. I'd like somebody else to remove the tags. Please look at my last versions, because I have run up against somebody from the evolution/creation universe who wants to troll around for lehakholis (Aramaic word, you might be able to guess what it means). --Metzenberg 03:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Congressional District article
Could you take a look at Illinois' 3rd congressional district and offer any suggestions or ideas? I've been working on it for a while, and would be interested in anything you might think of it. There's a little bit I want to add in the next day or two, but most of my other ideas are more long-range. (There are also a couple of things I hope you can help me track down, but those can wait; for now, I'd just like your opinion on the article so far.) MisfitToys 02:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't have much experience reading Wikipedia articles about specific congressional districts, but this article certainly looks admirably thorough, and easily answered every question I could think of at 1:50 am.

 * Having a single article on the 3rd district (I.e., the history of all the 3rd congressional districts Illinois has ever had) feels peculiar to me, but that's obviously the Wikipedia way of doing things. The historical continuity of district numbering in Illinois certainly helps.  Michigan had that kind of continuity in congressional district numbering for twelve decades, until it was smashed in 1992. Kestenbaum 05:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for having a look. One specific thing I wanted to ask: according to various editions of CQ's Presidential Elections Since 1789, county-by-county popular vote totals for president throughout the U.S. since 1824 are maintained by the Inter-University Consortium for Political Research at the University of Michigan. Do you know if these have been published in any reasonably accessible volume? For now, I'm looking for Illinois voting by county for 1832-1868. MisfitToys 22:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated
Hello there, I am a fellow member of Wikiproject jazz. I was wondering, if you had a moment to spare, if you would be willing to give your opinion on a matter at Categories for discussion/Log/2007 June 15 concerning a category I created. The category is, and it has been proposed that the article be merged with Musicians of New Orleans and American jazz musicians. This is precisely why I created the category, because it seemed to me the birthplace of jazz music and continous modern symbol of jazz certainly deserves a category unto itself. Regardless of your opinion, I would greatly appreciate your input there so as to have a discussion over the matter. Thanks. (Mind meal 03:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC))

New categories for jazz musicians
Hello fellow member of WikiProject Jazz! I am delivering this message to all members of the project to inform them of a major addition to the evolution of this project. Please see Category:Jazz musicians by genre to familiarize yourselves with the new categories for jazz musicians. Most of the genre categories contain sub-genres in their drop-down menus, so be sure to open them up! I am sending this to everyone to speed up the population of these categories. The sub-genres have been carefully researched to ensure they belong under their corresponding "mother genre"! And please, when in doubt do not categorize something via an assumption. Well, that about covers it! Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.(Mind meal 05:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC))

Convention Delegates Categories
With regard to the categories for convention delegates, I think the idea is to flesh-out information about people who are already notable, not to include all 50,000 delegates. As I understand it many of them are regular business owners and students who would not meet the notability requirements. I believe that the categories themselves, however, help identify notable political figures, especially ones who may only have a stub biography. MrPrada 14:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with you (and obviously I think delegates are important), but the similar category for county officials, which I tried to defend with the same arguments, got deleted. Kestenbaum 14:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Yea, I suppose the deletions can be inconsitent from time to time. There are county and even town level categories for New York State. My favorite obscure Category is "Comptrollers of Eerie County, NY". I once remarked in an AfD on a Town Supervisor article that there are 400 some odd articles in the Female Porn Star category, none of which are sourced. What does this say about notability if we're going to keep those and get rid of Town Supervisor articles? Perhaps they both should be gotten rid of. I happen to believe there is room for both. The same goes for the categories. If someone flags them, I will go with whatever the Wiki-consensus decides. MrPrada 20:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Rollin Dart
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Rollin Dart, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Rollin Dart seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Rollin Dart, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hi, I got your message. I doubt I'll be able to contribute much to either of the pages you've created anytime soon as I'm pretty busy at the moment (law school, your userpage says you're an attorney, so you must understand), but I've added them to my watchlist and will oppose any votes for deletion, as I think both subjects are notable. Incidentally, I suspect there's very little overlap between lawyers and doc corbin dart fans. You and I belong to a rare breed. --Osbojos 07:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Political graveyard entries on Frank Murphy
Dear Larry: I was at your political graveyard site, and was not finding a way to write you there. Sorry for writing you here, but it seemed like a direct way to get to you.

You've got the information about him correct as Supreme Court justice, but you show a bunch of other entries that also pertain to him, and say odd things like "presumed dead" and 'grave unknown.' This would apply, inter alia, to him as mayor of Detroit, Recorder's court judge, etc. I've put together a fairly complete article on him in Wikipedia, which connects to a number of good sites, including yours and Find-a-Grave. P.S., I do like your Political graveyard site, and its been most helpful in Wiki-work. Best regards.7&6=thirteen (talk) 13:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Stan

 * Yes, I'm aware there are some problems there, and I think I have fixed them in the database. The web site needs to be updated, and I'm working on that.  I'll look at (and link to) his Wikipedia page. Kestenbaum (talk) 15:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Sorry that I put that remark on your user page.  Excuse the error, please.  Given the pages that you've worked on, your thoughts and assistance on Frank Murphy would of course be valuable.  Best.  7&6=thirteen (talk) 15:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Stan

 * No problem, and thanks for bringing this to my attention. Nice job on the Murphy article.  Was William Francis his birth name? Kestenbaum (talk) 19:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, it was his birth name. Thanks for the kind word.  I also have an electronic copy of the article referenced in Frank Murphy that was written by (and sent to me by) my friend, Theodore J. St. Antoine, which has a lot of good information about his influence on federal labor policy.  7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Stan

Samuel Beardsley
The discussion for the renaming of the cat was closed, so I'm bringing this issue to you here. The aforementioned is an example of the problem with the cat. As the article appaprently attests the highest court in New York used to be called the Supreme Court. So what should be done with all those that are in the cat, should I move them to the cat for the Court of Appeals cat, the correct but misnamed cat?-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 17:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed that you are active on Wikipedia, and, since I'd just now cited the Political Graveyard in the article on Booth Tarkington, I thought I'd drop you a note to say thanks for working on, and making available, the Political Graveyard. Have you considered getting it mirrored at http://ibiblio.org or some such place as that? I hope it's been copied by the Wayback Machine, but more is better. As someone mentioned further up the page, it'll be a valuable source for researchers for a long time to come -- but only if it doesn't disappear when you are unable to keep paying for hosting. In any case, thanks for your work. JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I gave up some time ago on finding any academic or institutional support for the site, and I'm not optimistic about finding someone who would be willing and able to take it over when I'm gone. But I hope and expect that will be a good many years away.

 * How would I go about dealing with ibiblio? Kestenbaum (talk) 21:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador Program at MSU
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian associated with Michigan State University. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at MSU, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in the East Lansing area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:26, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Milton Wolf (politician)
Thanks for your edit. You should know that I tried to do the "second cousin, once removed" thing and was challenged because the cited source isn't explicit that Wolf's mother is Obama's grandmother's FIRST cousin. See the article's talk page for the exchange (which also involved a stupid mistake I made confusing the name of Obama's mother with the name of his grandmother). I hadn't yet had a chance to hunt down a better source, but if you could that would be great. --JohnPomeranz (talk) 19:16, 23 October 2013 (UTC)to
 * Um, isn't it just the definition of cousinship? Wolf's mother and Madelyn Dunham were first cousins.  When first cousins have offspring, they are second cousins to each other.  And Obama is the child of Wolf's second cousin.  I realize that some people don't understand the geometry here, but do we really need a citation for this? Kestenbaum (talk) 19:21, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The problem, apparently, was that the source I cited said that Wolf's mom and Madelyn were "cousins" but it didn't say "first cousins." While I'm sure that the source meant first cousins, it is theoretically possible that it meant that they were even more distant cousins, so the editor who reverted my edit wants a source that says "first cousins." --JohnPomeranz (talk) 20:20, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome...
I started out making certain comments and rewrote them at least two or three times before realizing that I was ranting more than covering new ground no matter what I edited out. Then I went and reread the discussion, and your comments and a select few others stood out and were enough in line with my sentiments, so I started over and made it a lot simpler than it would have been originally.

BTW, you may wish to know that my sandbox and my recent uploads to Commons contain a wealth of material which may be of use to you in your coverage of Alaska politicians. The sandbox indices haven't been updated, but you can use Special:Prefixindex to find the pages not listed. I also have about another 75 of those Blue Book and other images, plus some other politics-related photos from Flickr in my upload queue (the Commons upload interface seriously slows me down, otherwise I'd be more active there). Take care. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 22:49, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Category:Joint Enclaves in the United States
Hi, I happened to notice this category you created recently. What was your basis for creating it? It doesn't seem like a particularly distinctive feature, and I'm having trouble finding usage of the term joint enclave anywhere in this sense. Thanks, postdlf (talk) 22:20, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
