hey on disambiguating work

[edit]

Hi, thanks for adding some "See also" sections and links between disambiguation pages, including on some dab pages I created long ago.

FYI, per guideline at WP:INTDABLINK, the proper format for a see also link to another dab page is:

rather than

It's a small matter. Both do make it clear that a reader will be brought to a disambiguation page, I guess, although actually in the first option they actually go to a redirect first. The main point is that it is clearly intended to link to a disambiguation page, unlike other links in articles that include Oakwood Cemetery when they should point to a more specific page. There's been a long-running huge cleanup campaign to eliminate unintended links to dab pages. Are you aware of that? There's even a monthly contest...see wp:DAB CHALLENGE.

In particular, the automated "Daily Disambiguation" report supporting that campaign counts the number of mainspace links to each dab page, but omits links from redirects. So the first above doesn't get counted -- it links to a redirect. The second above is counted, appears to be a problem to be fixed, in their view.

Keep up the good work! Cheers --doncram 17:42, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. You could delete all those bot-generated sections above, about brackets and disambiguations, which no longer apply. You're allowed to tidy up your Talk page! No problem though.

the Minors

Good to see someone else is interested in the Minors. The additional comma is such a short sentence is not necessary though. More importantly, I think Henry C. Minor could have a page, and I would LOVE to find more info about the Waterloo Plantation and the Hollywood Plantation--there isn't enough at the moment to create either page. Let me know if you are able to find out more please. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 08:35, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

London. I doubt the British Library would have anything, but perhaps local libraries in Louisiana would. I know there are some papers about William J.

Items about Gobernors of Florida

[edit]

Hello, I've seen your issues in many of the articles I have posted about colonial governors of Florida and I think that those issues have a huge value in these items, because they contribute to its improvement. I appreciate your efforts in improving those items. I am very interested in history and demographics of the Americas and the Caribbean, and have published many articles about that topic. I think at least the majority of the governors of Americas should have articles on Wikipedia, and because I'm interested in these issues, I have published many biographical articles about them. There are still many. I want more people to help in the publication of such items or to add or correct information in published articles about them, to improve them. I would like, if you accepted the proposal, you help me and you publish some article about some colonial governor of Florida.

Thank you.--Isinbill (talk) 20:13, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My message to Dudemanfellabra: Port Hudson on Louisiana NHL list

[edit]

Hello, you said not to change the official name, but you didn't notice that I edited the name twice. The article is called Port Hudson National Cemetery; I initially added 'National Cemetery' to the name 'Port Hudson'. But then I noticed the Cemetery article states that the entire Port Hudson Battlefield, including the cemetery, is a NHL. My second edit changed National Cemetery to Battlefield.

The name at the top of the info box in that article is just Port Hudson, which name I've now found on the National Parks Service list of La. National Historic Landmarks. (I can't find an official U.S. Govt. page for the NRHP listings; to see whether the name there was the same, 25 years later.) It's too bad they didn't call it P.H. Battlefield/Battleground, because there is an unincorporated community (& Wikipedia article) called Port Hudson.

The town and the national cemetery are in East Baton Rouge Parish, whereas the Port Hudson State Historic Site is in neighboring East Feliciana Parish. I just checked Google maps, and the town is south of the State Historic Site but north of the National Cemetery, with about 6 miles of road between the two official sites.

My edits are almost always for improved clarity. But, since you've told me not to change the name from any official U.S. designated name for the place or landmark, I'll delete 'National Cemetery' from the name and restore it to its ambiguous name 'Port Hudson'.  :)

Hey, where is the Progress section for NHRP sites that Ammodramus referred to in the post just above mine?

Floridasand (talk) 03:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I didn't notice until now that the National Park Service PDF shows the location as "Port Hudson, East Feliciana Parish." (What a mess!) -- The Siege of Port Hudson article says the battle straddled both parishes. Maybe the 1974 NHL was established in E. Feliciana, & the 1999 NRHP listing was just for the Cemetery in E. Baton Rouge Parish. If this is true, then the article on the Wikipedia La. NHL list should be Port Hudson State Historic Site, since it's the only one located in E. Feliciana. This is what I've just done; gotta eat!

Minor edits again

In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content.

The Help:Minor edit link gives some guidance for how to decide whether an edit is minor - rule of thumb is that if you change the meaning of the article in any way, it's not minor. Minor edits are those which "could never be the subject of a dispute", which no other editor would ever plausibly have a reason for disagreeing with.
That page is actually a bit unclear about see-also links - I assume "adding or correcting wikilinks" refers to adding link brackets around an existing phrase in the article. Since adding a see-also link is changing the meaning of the article and may possibly be objected to (and, more usefully, may be a useful alert to other editors about an aspect of the article which could use more coverage in the text), it shouldn't be marked as a minor edit.
If you're not sure whether something's a minor edit, it doesn't do any harm to just make it as a regular edit. --McGeddon (talk) 06:36, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marsden Mounds thanks

[edit]

Thank you for developing at the Marsden Mounds and Poverty Point articles, and for correcting the location of the Marsden site from incorrect National Register of Historic Places listings in West Carroll Parish, Louisiana to National Register of Historic Places listings in Richland Parish, Louisiana. It is fairly rare nowadays, that sites are found to be listed in the wrong county/parish list-article of the NRHP wikiproject, but in the past a good number of errors deriving from the NRIS database have been documented at wp:NRIS info issues, and in general there has not yet been much attention paid to the Louisiana NRHP listings. And supporting your identification is the Louisiana state historic sites system, which shows "Marsden site" within its Richland Parish results, not the other. I will add a note at wp:NRIS info issues LA. FYI, i have tried to document use of the Louisianaa historic sites system within wp:NRHPhelp#Louisiana. I may try to continue developing the Louisiana NRHP articles, particularly ones still tagged "NRIS-only" within the wp:NRHPprogress system.

It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Web archive

[edit]

Hi! I saw you found a dead url on Tate county, Mississippi and removed it. Sometimes there is a better way. If you copy the original url, go to web.archive.org and search for it, you may be able to find an archived copy of the page in the past. That's what I did here, then I added |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20190604014451/http://www.thiscruelwar.com/entire-black-family-murdered-unsuccessful-manhunt/ |archive-date=June 4, 2019 to the reference. Now if you click on the reference, you see the page the way it looked back then. It takes a little work to understand it fully, but after you master it you can even cause the archive to take a snapshot of a reference you want to make sure sticks around and put it in your references on the front end, so that you ensure your edits have staying power. I hope you find this helpful. Thanks for your help! Jacona (talk) 12:22, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
