Notability

In general, local politicians and officials are not notable: politicians are generally eligible if they've been elected to statewide office. A county Commonwealth's Attorney, of any gender, is unlikely to be notable enough for inclusion unless they have a very high profile in national media. See WP:POLITICIAN for specifics, and you might want to look at WP:BIO for more general discussions of the notability of individuals. Please remember that deletion is a normal encyclopedia process, and that there is no set time frame for most deletions. If you wish to dispute a speedy deletion, we have deletion review for that purpose. While it is discouraging to have one's effort deleted quickly, it is not an expression of ill will. We hope that having learned a little bit about the threshold for inclusion in the encyclopedia, you will find a subject that you can write about, or that you can expand and improve one of our 4.5 million existing articles.

The Lynchings of the Frenches of Warsaw

Please read WP:REFSTART#Same reference used more than once. Your 38 refs in this article were actually only 6 refs, and 5 of them were sourced to the same website. Meters (talk) 19:11, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Fixing it now. :) Sarahrosemc (talk) 19:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Hey, you already fixed it. Thanks a bunch!!! Sarahrosemc (talk) 19:29, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

It's not a big deal. It's just more obvious what's being cited (and shorter for you to create). In this case instead of having a very lengthy list of references it turns out the article is actually not that well sourced. Three of the refs are to local articles from around the time of the lynching (and so are not really independent sources), a fourth is a book (I don't have access to it, but it probably quotes the same newspaper articles), a fifth is nothing but pictures of steamboats (it does not support anything in the article so I will remove it), and the sixth is a personal comment by the creator of the same web site where you found all of the other refs except the book. Meters (talk) 19:33, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Put the ref back in. I see that it is actually supporting the identification of the boats as being in the area, rather than that the man was working on them. Sorry. Meters (talk) 19:37, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I appreciate it. I wasn't trying to make the reference list look that impressive. Just wanted to cover myself, and not say anything that wasn't printed before, while also, putting it into my own words, so it's not plagiarized. I worked really hard on it. I have other books, and will add more sources in the future, but those books are buried underneath a bunch of other junk, so as of now, I'm taking a break on it. Plus, it's 1876. I'm not sure what sources you'd find acceptable, to make it qualify as "well sourced". There's certainly no videotape. First person sources... Private diaries, oral histories... that's been typed up, and put into a book? I won't find any of those. Being that it's 1876, I'm happy that there were any articles written about it, let alone 3 or 4. Just go back 100 years, and you won't find a single article written about anything in Kentucky. (The first settlement was founded in 1774). So, any suggestions would be helpful, because I believe if there were those sources, I'd add those, to make it better.

Again. Thank you. Sarahrosemc (talk) 19:55, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

It would be a bit weak for coverage of a modern event, but given the era, it's fine. An interesting read, and nice work. Thanks. Meters (talk) 16:45, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs

Thank you for your recent articles, including The Lynchings of the Frenches of Warsaw, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Thank you for your recent articles, including The Lynchings of the Frenches of Warsaw, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

		The Bluegrass Barnstar
		For jumping in with both feet in creating referenced articles about events in Kentucky history, I give you this barnstar, and my thanks. Don't let a few deletion discussions get you down. It's been my experience that lots of people – including me – get their first few articles AfD'd; sometimes they even survive that!

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:06, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Moving articles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give The Lynchings of the Frenches of Warsaw a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Furthermore, don't rename or move an article that is at AFD. We ended up with two simultaneous deletion discussions on identical articles with different names.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marco Allen Chapman, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Charles Moore, District Judge and John Delaney. 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.

Lynching articles

Leave the articles and redirects alone. I had an admin check my work and he agreed that what I had was right. I put a lot of time into fixing your mess, and I do not want to have to go through this again. Meters (talk) 09:38, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I was complying with what you wanted, I thought. I won't touch any of it anymore. Sarahrosemc (talk) 09:43, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I understand that it is confusing you, but you are doing the wrong thing. You cannot move the article when there is an AFD under the original name, or you risk doing creating the same mess as before. You had 2 simultaneous AFDs on the same article, and neither one was at the title you are trying to move everything to. And if you cut and past the article we lose the edit history. Don't ever move an article that way. Just stop and wait for an admin to delete what needs to be deleted. Once the AFD is closed we can move the article to the correct name. Your actions are disruptive. Meters (talk) 09:45, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I understand. Thank you. Sarahrosemc (talk) 09:47, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=5jRFD5Mzx9sHZLT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_0q4wdXxcKKJKZqR&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Speedy deletion nomination of Death of Samantha Ramsey

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.

A tag has been placed on Death of Samantha Ramsey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shooting of Samantha Ramsey. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
