City Nicknames

I'm guessing you're not from around here. A number of the items you claim need sources are extremely well known, and you're asking people to re-research stuff that's already covered in the articles. It's ridiculous. Anyone who has ever heard of Chicago knows it's called the "Windy City". Boston has likewise been called "Beantown" for generations. How about if you do some of your own work instead of trying to make everyone else do it for you? Baseball Bugs 12:31, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

And I'm guessing you'll come in a month or a week or 3 days and if no one has done your work for you, you'll delete them, on the grounds that no one has "verified" the obvious... thus rendering the list worthless... which is maybe what your motivation is. Why do want citations for "capital city"? How about you check the list of capital cities and observe that they are capital cities. Baseball Bugs 12:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability, and in particular, Wikipedia:Verifiability#Burden of evidence, which is official policy. It is the responsibility of an editor who wants to retain a 'fact' in an article to provide a citation to a reliable source for that 'fact'. Note that the nicknames I have re-tagged are NOT sourced in the city articles. Being "well-known" is not sufficient. "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies and practice before throwing accusations around. -- Donald Albury 12:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and please post any further discussion on this topic to Talk:List of city nicknames in the United States, where it belongs. -- Donald Albury 12:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

"Verifiability" and "truth" are actually the same thing. Don't be lecturing me about policy, and don't be telling me where to post questions. Baseball Bugs 13:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputes in English grammar

Hi Dalbury, there is currently a hefty debate going on at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disputes in English grammar about whether the article in question constitutes original research. Having seen your name and credentials at the Theoretical Linguistics wikiproject, I reckon that you, more than me or any of the other people arguing there, would know whether this subject really is original research, or whether it is the kind of subject that gets written about in a meaningful enough way to give rise to an encyclopaedic article. A moment of your time to look it over would no doubt be illuminating to the debate. Cheers, Jdcooper 21:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Donald,

Ken Udut here (simplify3) webmaster of http://free.naplesplus.us

I'd like my site to be a resource for Ave Maria students and searchers as I have a few articles on the site about Ave Maria as well as a good collection of news stories (I'm constantly collecting them), but after having read the usage guidelines for external links, I understand why you removed my entry from external links.

I wasn't doing it for pagerank, as the change to "nofollow" happened before I started my site up (I started it up in June '07 - it's a new resource) and I was aware of it.

I simply hadn't understood the guidelines properly.

So for a page on my site to be viable for Wikipedia then (just so I understand it) - it would have to be fresh, NOT be a search, AND be something that doesn't wouldn't fit properly on the Wikipedia entry itself but rather be something akin to an academic footnote resource?

If you could help me understand, I'd appreciate it. It's quite possible that what I offer on my site isn't approriate for wikipedia at all and if that is the case, I understand. But even with that, I do have some Ave Maria links I've been collecting, such as official links to the new grammar school, the Ave Maria library (which is open to the public of Collier County) and some others.

I live ten miles south of Ave Maria, FL, so I have a definite interest in its goings on.It's sort of a mission of mine, even though I don't go there.

[I'm trying to bring together a "one stop" free resource for Collier County of hard to find information on free.naplesplus.us]

If I can help Wikipedia in any way improve their entries, I'd like to be able to do that. Thanks! ] Kenneth Udut simplify3@aol.com webmaster: http://free.naplesplus.us

unname sction

So something has to be written down in a book or by some non reader based site for it to be "evidence". Yeah, Nice one.

Where's the books source of the word ey!? Oh yeah, real life!!! So would an eyewitness in a crime have to have a picture for it to be considered real evidence to you people?!

...It's pretty rich being told that something isn't a word, just because it's not written down in some publication or something, especially since it's so adult and semi-rare, surely the opinions and public usage make something a word, exactly what Urban Dictionary does.

It's also pretty rich because Wikipedia isn't at all reliable, and because I'm being told something isn't a word by some burgerchomper who probably wouldn't be able to speak half decent English if you tried.Kurtle 18:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Footnotes

Your statement about fossilized footprints in the article on Hylonomus is unclear. At a glance, it looks like an unverified claim. You added a reference to the reference section, but did not indicate which fact in the article it goes with. Citations directly indicating which sentence they refer to are most helpful.

Scientology included in the Clearwater, Florida site

Sorry for trying to delete Scientology from the Clearwater, Florida site. The reason is that I do not feel it should be included as a part of Clearwater, Florida history. There are many, many religions in Clearwater, Florida, and I do not feel only including Scientology as a Part of Clearwater history is appropriate. If you include only Scientology, then you are basically stating that this is the only representative religion in Clearwater, and that is not the case. If you include this religion, then you should mention all other representative religions in this City.

Again, please consider deleting this from the site. Clearwater is a wonderful sea-side town and should not be associated with any specific religion, no matter what its history. If someone wants to look up Scientology, then let them do it directly and not associate this religion with any particular city. It's like saying that Madison, WI is only associated with Muslims.

I apologize for attempting to delete without contacting Wilkapedia first. I hope that you consider my statement in good faith. Long-time resident of Clearwater, Florida, since 1964.

Tallahassee notables

This discussion has been moved to Talk:Tallahassee, Florida. Please do not add to this section.

Sorry, Dalbury, but I just undid your latest Tallahassee revision. In my opinion, having your own Wikipedia article is not the only suitable measure of notability, just a good first check. In fact, some rather non-notable folks have them, and some notable one, the various easily checked Olympic athletes on the list for instance, don't have articles. Marion Tinsley did have one, but without the "Dr.". I checked all the Olympians. They're legitimate. Tim Ross·^talk 22:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I still say the best indicator that someone is notable enough to be listed as a 'notable resident' is to have their own article. It is not enough that someone's existence is verifiable. If we are going to call someone 'notable', then Wikipedia:Notability should apply, and it is a bit awkward establishing notability in a footnote to a 'notable resident' who doesn't have a WP article. -- Donald Albury 22:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, I suppose that all Olympic athletes can be fit into Wikipedia:Notability. Thus, someone could legitimately write an article for each saying, basically, that such a person completed in certain events, at a certain Olympics, with certain specified results. It doesn't make a lot of sense, though to require this for the Tallahassee listing unless you feel that some Olympic athletes are not notable. By the way, do you know if circular references, back to Wikipedia, qualify as "reliable sources"? Tim Ross·^talk 23:35, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Whether a given individual (or the subject of any article, for that matter) meets the criteria of WP's notability guidelines is ultimately subject to a consensus of editors, often decided at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (if an article has not been nominated for deletion, then no one has seriously questioned the notability of the subject). Notability for some subjects has been reduced to a set of criteria (see Wikipedia:Notability (music)). The notability quideline for people (Wikipedia:Notability (people)) requires substantial coverage of the person from independent sources. There is no provision that someone who has won a particular prize or event qualifies for an article in WP. As to your last question, Wikipedia articles are not reliable sources. Reliable third-partysources cited in WP articles may be cited in other articles, as long as it has been verified that the cited sources support the material in question.

I believe your argument is faulty, Dalbury. Yes, one certainly is supposed to have reliable secondary sources in a biographical article to demonstrate, among other things, "sufficient coverage" to meet the notability specification. The Tallahassee article, however, is not a biographical one, and I don't believe that the listing of notable individuals in that article has to meet that specific standard. It is your personal definition, alone, which is the sticking point, that one should not be on that list in the Tallahassee article without a personal biographical article. I believe, for example, that the fact of having one's own article is sufficient grounds for consideration for the list, but that the article editors might justifiably wish to exclude some such individuals from the list if their local notability were negligible. Conversely, many important individuals, in a local sense, have no Wikipedia articles, but may be appropriate for the Tallahassee article. The Olympic athletes in question are a perfect example. One should be following a consensus of editors on this point, not the biographic notability requirment. In any case, I intend to replace the deleted Olympians, including an appropriate reference to their existence and achievements, which I hope you will find satisfactory. Tim Ross·^talk 11:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Verifiability, everything in WP articles must be verifiable, and anything that is challenged or likely to be challenged must have reliable published sources cited. Therefore, if I challenge whether someone is a notable resident of a place, then citations to reliable sources that such person is notable and is a resident/former resident must be provided. In practice, editors have been accepting the existence of a WP article about someone as establishing notability. So, either create an article for each person you want in the list, or cite enough reliable sources for each person to establish reliability and residency. -- Donald Albury 11:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

May I point out, Dalbury, that your issue was with Wikipedia:Notability, not Wikipedia:Verifiability? I note, also, that your "challenge" on that topic consisted of deleting anything that didn't meet your standard, rather than initiating a discussion on Talk:Tallahassee, Florida, which might have been a better option, and, indeed, might be the right place for this discussion.

Fort Pickens

Without a tape recorder and citing the Ranger's name you can call the info "unverified" if you like, but I'll take his word over the outdated info in the Wiki article. From what he said the road was already rebuilt and wiped out again by another storm just before it was to reopen (might have been Dennis.) Latest FAQ says 2008 to *start* construction at the earliest. When I visited Barrancas in October there was still no actual plan.

If you can find "verifiable" content, be my guest. But I'll take more up to date over "verifiable" any day of the week. I asked the Ranger about it because I couldn't find verifiable information.

Next time I won't bother sharing. Red Harvest (talk) 05:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Please review the official policy at Wikipedia:Verifiability. Even if you recorded the ranger's comments, it wouldn't make a difference; publication by a reliable source is required. -- Donald Albury 09:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll take accuracy over verifiably inaccurate information every time, thanks! Red Harvest (talk) 04:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

The community has chosen verifiability over "truth" for reasons that have been discussed repeatedly on the talk page of the policy. For one thing, verifiability means that any reader can potentially check the source and decide for himself or herself how useful the information is, while "truth" often comes from an unidentifiable and uncheckable source. Oh, and if you can cite reliable sources that contradict what is in an article, please do so (following the rules at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Undue weight). -- Donald Albury 13:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Florida State Parks in Alachua County

This is my first effort at creating the consolidated articles I proposed at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Florida. If you like it, I will redirect the six individual articles to this one, remove the templates from their talk pages, and add one to this page.

I am coming to you for approval because you have (by far) the most experience of the people who are active in WP Florida right now. I think you are the only admin who has posted to the page in months, so you seem to have (for better or for worse) been selected as the dean of the project. Horologium t-c 01:52, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I want to think on it. Grouping the parks by county seems arbitrary. The article looks fine, its just the method of grouping I'm hesitant on. I hadn't thought about there being an article for the Dudley Farm. I've been there, and I know there has been a book published about it (my sister was the editor for the book). Maybe I'll find a copy and add to the article sometime.

I'm not the only admin around, Cuchullain just joined the discussion today. I'm just getting active again after a long slump since the Spring, and I can't guarantee how deep or long my enthusiasm will run. I'm also torn between adding content, patrolling my watchlist, and getting active with OTRS again. We'll have to see how much I can do. -- Donald Albury 02:39, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Yikes. Are you suggesting not merging them after all? It's not a crisis of biblical proportions, but the potential reduction in stubby articles is pretty drastic. (Most of the counties that have a state park have more than one, so we're looking at 45-50 articles instead of 180+.) The NRHP merges will produce even more dramatic results.

RE: Samuel Eliot Morison

Hi Donald. In September I reduced the section on Zinn's mild criticism of Moison to a short paragraph (see: [1]). I then suggested on the talk page that this be removed as it didn't seem worth including. After no-one had objected for six weeks I removed the para in early November ([2]). 10 days later User: Skywriter reinstated the full bloated section with a somewhat confusing claim that a citation was needed to remove this material. I'm happy to discuss further on the talk page, but I feel that Zinn's comments on Morison's work are so marginal that they're not worth including at all (they seem to be one historians view that historians of Morison's generation didn't pay enough attention to the impact of Columbus and Spanish Colonialism on the natives of the Americas, but that Morison was better than most of his peers - this hardly seems to be an issue worth considering when evaluating Morison's work). --Nick Dowling 03:56, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Add WikiProject Tampa to articles on Pinellas and Manatee counties

I am wondering why you added the Tamps city project to Charles Roser, an article that pertains only to St. Petersburg, Florida and Anna Maria, Florida and has nothing to do with Tampa. I notice that other Pinellas County articles are in the Tampa project, but St. Pete itself isn't.clariosophic (talk) 03:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

My understanding is that the Tampa project covers the Tampa Bay Area, which includes Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando Counties (the MSA). Similarly, the Miami project covers South Florida (Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties) and the Jacksonville project covers the Greater Jacksonville Metropolitan, which includes 5 counties. As I am particpating in current drive to assess all of the some 4,000 articles in the Florida project, I've been tagging articles for the city projects when I assess them for the state project. If it is not the case that the Tampa project is taking on the whole MSA, I'll stop placing the template on articles. -- Donald Albury 04:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Locations make a difference.

Believe it or not, Ft. Myers and Ft. Myers Beach are different places. They are 2 different cities.

Fort Myers is linked just two very short paragraphs above that sentence. The Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)#Overlinking and underlinking: what's the best ratio? has the statement, "'Excessive' is more than once for the same term, in a line or a paragraph, because in this case one or more duplicate links will almost certainly appear needlessly on the viewer's screen." If one interprets a link appearing twice on a screen as excessive, then the second link would be excessive. I won't fight you on that, however. In any case, I think you should avoid linking to redirects rather than directly to the article. -- Donald Albury 23:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
