Nate Staniforth moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Nate Staniforth, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Cox Macro edit

Hi StaniforthHistorian, thanks for this very interesting article, which I noticed after you added a Macro link to the Peter Tillemans page I started. I've formatted and styled the text so it conforms to Wikipedia style, although considerable work still needs to be done. Regards, Ericoides (talk) 21:04, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much, I'm still trying to get to grips with article creations so I appreciate your help, Cox Macro is a distant relation of mine through his daughters husband William Staniforth so I wanted to put all of my sources to use.

Disambiguation link notification for November 8 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited John Staniforth (1832-1894), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hull (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

St. Mary's Church of the Assumption, Kinnegad edit

Hi. Quick question here. The listing is in the name of "Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Main Street, Kinnegad", but the parish website is for the "Church of the Assumption". Is this the same church? Blythwood (talk) 18:53, 19 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, yes this is the same church, there seemed to be some conflicting information, when it was originally constructed it was simply known as St. Mary's, but as you stated, the website names it simply Church of the Assumption, while other sources name it Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, this is the only parish church in Kinnegad and all of the addresses are to the same church, if a rename is in order then certainly feel free. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 19:12, 19 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I've now looked on Google Maps and the address is the same. Thanks for the reply. Sounds like it's best to keep to the current name. Strange that there's no source available on the renaming. Blythwood (talk) 19:18, 19 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've linked to the pre-existing Wikimedia Commons category. There seemed to be some mistake about the listing: it's listed grade II, not II*, at least according to the listing you cite. Maybe you were copying content from other articles you've written too fast?

Midhope Reservoir edit

The OS map I'm looking at does not show the Little Don River serves as both the inflow and outflow. The reservoir is fed by streams; the river is 5 or so contour lines lower than the dam. The reservoir drains into the river via another stream. Are you sure your article is accurate?

You beat me to it, I completely missed the fact the brook to the north had a different name to the main Little Don River, I've made some amendments to the article. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 17:02, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Potential COI for Staniforth articles edit

  Hello, StaniforthHistorian. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

  • Some suggestions on how to make this kind of article even better in future: it's best to put a sort on categories. As it is, this article on a church will appear in categories under "C" for "Church of...", but in a category about churches, people will be looking for it under "K" for "Killamarsh". Putting a sort term on relevant categories can fix this. It's good practice to cite the listing itself as this will be the authoritative source many people will want to read next. A lot of historic buildings without articles do have Wikimedia Commons categories which you can link to the article, and this was an example of that. Finally, again I notice that you seem to have added a category when it wasn't the right one: you added a category for it being a building in Yorkshire when it's actually in Derbyshire. I've changed all of these: you can see what I modified here. And it makes sense to put in an obvious link to the church's official website, rather than making this a hard-to-find citation. Hope that's all helpful! Blythwood (talk) 20:06, 21 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Blythwood, you've given me some great suggestions here, I'm certainly going to consider all of these from now on, thanks for taking the time to offer such useful tips. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 20:08, 21 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Great! You're doing some really great stuff adding content on corners of the UK and Ireland that aren't well-covered enough on Wikipedia: it's just a few extra things you can do that can make your articles even more useful to readers without really taking any extra time to put in. Blythwood (talk) 20:41, 21 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Britishfinance:@Blythwood:Just wanted to thank both of you for your advice over the past few months, unfortunately due to me sockpuppeting an account created years ago all of my articles have been deemed as trash and have been deleted, I know you've followed along with my church and historic landmark page creations over the years so I thought I would at least make you both aware.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

A belated welcome! edit

 
The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, StaniforthHistorian. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{help me}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! LovelyLillith (talk) 19:34, 27 February 2019 (UTC) I did want to suggest that you check out WP:MINOR to better understand the appropriate time to mark edits as minor, because I've noticed the majority of your edits are marked that way. Basically if you are adding/deleting links, references, or changing the context of an article, it shouldn't be marked as minor; if you are making a change that any other editor would consider appropriate or wouldn't cause conflict, like a spelling correction or punctuation fix, that would be suitably marked as minor. Glad to have you helping out around here!Reply

Hello LovelyLillith, thank you very much for the welcome. I really appreciate the advise regarding minor edits, I will take it onboard from now on. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 21:02, 27 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

eclectic good work edit

Hi, you seem to have eclectic interests! I noticed your new article about Holland Coffee, an Oklahoma entrepreneur(?) because it happened to link to some article that I had created, but then I can't quickly see any much pattern to your contributions. I myself happen to work mostly on historic sites in the United States, especially sites listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. If you happened to be interested in writing about Oklahoma historic sites, I would be very happy to collaborate somehow. Anyhow, thank your for your contribution, and I hope u keep up your good work! :) cheers, --Doncram (talk) 23:37, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Doncram: Hey! Thanks for the comment, basically I was born in the midlands of ireland, grew up in England, and for the past 6 years I've lived in North Texas so as you can see I tend to have interests spread across the two countries and Texas (Usually Johnson County, Texas as that's where I've been living). I actually came across Holland Coffee after reading up on Richard Meredith Hart and fleshing out his article, Holland Coffee had a small legal case against him in wich Coffee won, but I noticed there was no article on him despite him being in the TSHA... and I actually looked into Richard Hart due to him having a listed building not far from where I live (I'm planning to make a page on the listed house tomorrow) StaniforthHistorian (talk) 23:44, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hmm. TSHA = Texas state House of representatives? Definitely interesting people, anyhow. National Register of Historic Places listings in Johnson County, Texas and linked bluelinks and redlinks could sure use some work. I have recorded some tips into (and/or drawn from there myself) wp:NRHPHELP about doing NRHP articles (and specifically wp:NRHPHELPTX about doing Texas ones); perhaps you could find that useful. Maybe i will try to fix up some of those, too. Feel free to ping me if I could possibly help on anything there. I have seen your username around somewhere, maybe in AFDs or maybe in Texas articles? Yes, your editing in Ireland/England confused me. :) Random fact: despite never visiting, I happen to have developed almost all of Registered Buildings of the Isle of Man myself. cheers, --Doncram (talk) 01:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Doncram: TSHA The Texas State Historical Association's Handbook of Texas, it's an incredible resource, there's been times where I've drove through tiny incorporated communities and when I've looked them up there's no mention on Wikipedia, but 10/10 times it'll be mentioned in the handbook, a good example of this is the article I made for Parker, Johnson County, Texas. I'm definitely going to checkout your help pages, I've only just started working on US landmarks so they'll be a big help. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 12:07, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Girth Summit: Thanks for the message! Blame that on my summers spent with my family in the Midlands of Ireland! I have family over there that to this day use Peat from those bogs to heat their homes. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 18:27, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I used to go on holidays to my friend's family home in Donegal - there's nothing like the smell of a peat fire, it's fantastic! GirthSummit (blether) 18:30, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for creating Clooncullaun Bog.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

I'm marking this page as reviewed too, as the refs confirm its status as a Natural Heritage Area. One thing I couldn't see though was the mention of it being a 'raised bog' in either of the sources - did that come from another source? It would be good to have that sourced.

@Girth Summit: I've just referenced the PDF regarding raised bogs which lists this particular bog. I've also just put together an article on Turf fires if you wouldn't mind reviewing it. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 19:10, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi there - thanks for adding the PDF source, that looks good.
I went to take a look at Turf fire, but I see that User:Onel5969 got there before me and reviewed it. It's a nice article, but the sourcing could be improved - it's primarily blogs, which wouldn't qualify as RS. I did a quick Google Books search and found this, this and a few other sources that might help to beef it up a bit. I also wonder whether you've looked at Peat - there are a lot of good sources in that article, that could potentially be used to expand your new one - it also covers some of the ecological issues (Peat#Peat_fires) which would probably be relevant. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 10:37, 11 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement over my bog articles @Girth Summit:, unfortunately I got caught out for using a second account so the close to 100 bog articles are completely gone, I hope someone might be able to recreate them in the future, until then thanks for all of your help.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ellis Benson edit

 

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 Ellis Benson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://thetexasunderground.blogspot.com/2013/11/ellis-benson.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Unblock Request edit

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

StaniforthHistorian (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I would request that my ban be revoked as I feel I had created some useful articles over the past few months, I have grown to understand and learn the rules of Wikipedia and I feel the mistakes I had made in the past will not happen again, the deletion of many of my pages, especially those on Irish, English and Texan history has left a lot of red links, and I want to stress that I have learned from my past mistakes. I have a passion for Wikipedia and knowing my pages are gone has left me feeling rather empty. I made some rather foolish mistakes in the past and these will not be repeated. Thank you for your time.

Decline reason:

You have not addressed the reason for your block. Note that every single edit from this account is a violation of WP:EVADE and therefore by definition, abusive. Yamla (talk) 20:24, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Yamla: I fully understand why I was blocked, it was an extremely foolish act to try and get around a ban, I made a lot of stupid mistakes on my former accounts and I simply wanted to start fresh, I hope the articles I have created through this username reflect my desire to share knowledge, I made many pages for listed churches and protected bogs in Ireland and it would be a shame to see those suddenly disappear like this. I want to stress again, I understand what I did was incredibly stupid and violated the rules, but I hope I can find a way to redeem myself and my reputation on Wikipedia.

That’s the problem, that original account was one I made years ago, I wasn’t even living in the same country and I was a teenager, I have since matured a lot since then but I am 100% unable to access that original FreebirdBiker account. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 21:19, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I also need to stress that my original account under the username FreebirdBiker is no longer accessible meaning I literally cannot use the original account I was banned for sock puppeting. I appreciate the severity of my actions and I truly do hope to start fresh under my StaniforthHistorian username, I am also very concerned over the loss of articles many of which include historic listed landmarks in Texas as well as landmarks in England.

As noted by Bbb23, your only path to an unblock is the standard offer. Abiding by this will show that you are capable of abiding by Wikipedia guidelines. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 22:54, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • You didn't just make "stupid mistakes" on your former accounts. You made a very large mistake in creating this account and happily evading your block for months. It's only now when you've been caught that you are suddenly remorseful. You can look at the terms of WP:SO and request an unblock six months from now if you believe at that time you've met them. There's no guarantee that you will be unblocked then, but what is fairly certain is you're not going to be unblocked now.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:50, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Bbb23: @Bbb23: Understood, I will accept my punishment, what I do still feel strongly about however is the loss of the articles I had created on historic landmarks, I feel those should be reviewed regardless of my personal actions, is there any chance the G5 could be reverted and reviews carried out on the articles, for example Looney Tunes Cartoons had many other edits by other users but it was completely deleted. The same goes for pages such as Hill County Courthouse. I don't agree with the logic that all of my created articles are trash based on my past actions. StaniforthHistorian (talk) 13:59, 15 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • I've removed the section you posted below about your articles and G5. You have zero say in the application of G5 to your creations. Any more of this nonsense, and I'll revoke talk page access.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:52, 15 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
