Just so you know, generally{{db-u1}} is only used on pages in your ownuserspace (for example:User:Thingg/sandbox).{{db-g7}} or{{db-author}} (both are the same template) is more generic and it is usually used if the page isn't in your userspace. In practice, it doesn't really make any difference which one you use because they all mean the same thing: ("this is my page. I don't want it any more. please delete it.") but I just wanted to let you know. A belated welcome to Wikipedia by the way! :)Thingg^⊕⊗05:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work! I visited the W&J campus a week ago, for the first time; it's definitely a nice-looking campus. Have you ever heard of a building around campus known as the "Sackville House", on E. Wheeling St.? I tried to find it, but my best guess is that it's been torn down and replaced with the new fine arts center.Nyttend (talk)03:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note; however, I did notice the house that you mention. I parked farther east on Wheeling (just barely west of the Wade Ave. intersection) and walked to McMillan Hall, stopping for the Sackville House. I photographed the house that you're talking about, only to notice that it had a different number than the one given for the Sackville House.Nyttend (talk)04:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I still believe that the house is gone. ItsNational Register nomination form includes a map, but there's nothing specifically marked as being the house on the map on page 5. Moreover, look at thepicture; I don't remember seeing this house anywhere along Wheeling, and the shadows on Google Maps' satellite view don't seem to show any such house. Errors such as Canonsburg for the administration building are quite rare; I doubt that there's such a significant error here. I'll be happy if you can show me that there really is an error, and that it's still in existence :-)Nyttend (talk)05:05, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the only situation that a landmarked building doesn't stay in existence for long after it's designated: check outHoly Rosary Catholic Church (St. Marys, Ohio), which was listed on the National Register a full year after it was demolished. Thanks for the link to Shorty's; I'm quite impressed by the 23,000 signatures especially.Nyttend (talk)12:05, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was really only concerned with buildings on the National Register, so the only other building that I photographed was McMillan Hall. I did get several pictures of that, so I suspect that they could be useful; I've just not gotten around to uploading them yet.Nyttend (talk)03:24, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly wasn't aware of this discussion untilafter I gave you autoreviewer. So, here are your new duties:continue exactly as you had been doing before. "Autoreviewer" is a misnomer; it should be "autoreviewed". All it means is that you, GrapedApe, are considered someone who can be trusted to not create inappropriate pages (in all namespaces, not just articles)... and that you do it often enough that it's more efficient to just mark them all as 'approved' by default.

A tag has been placed onJohn Canon requesting that it bespeedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 thecriteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Pleasesee the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read theguide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding{{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note onthe article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged forspeedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteriafor biographies,for web sites,for bands, orfor companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.Everard Proudfoot (talk)05:45, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are notautoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obviousvandalism orBLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (seeWikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be foundhere.

The problem is the intermix. Baltimore Examiner, Washington Examiner, SF Examiner and Examiner.com were all under the same company and used the same url, examiner.com. Washington Examiner is still owned by them, but is a separate part of the business. At the same time, there were the same ones currently on Examiner.com writing under that URL too. So not only do you have to parse out which city, but which dates and then decide whether it was a Baltimore Examiner writer or a writer for the Baltimore edition of Examiner.com.

Greetings. I came here wondering if you could supply a source for the Date of Death forChase Clements, as I was unaware of what SSDI was. I see from earlier conversions that SSDI is the Social Security Death Index. So, now I'm intrigued. How does one search the SSDI?--GrapedApe (talk)16:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In order to search the SSDI, you just need to go tohttp://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ and fill in the information (advanced search is usually better for common names) and, while you cannot link directly to the results, you can create a convenience link by clicking on the SS-5 Letter link, which gives youthis (for George Clements, anyways). Generally it's better to then use the date you find to do a Google news archive search for an obituary, but that doesn't always work (if the obituary doesn't exist or was never uploaded etc.) You might run intoWP:BLP problems if you use it for someone who is still thought to be living (since it might be construed to beoriginal research), but in this case, Clements' NFL profile lists him as deceased, so there shouldn't be a problem.CanadianPaul22:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's almost exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. One last question: Is there a more reliable source for the SSDI than rootsweb? Does the Social Security office publish it in an authoritative way? Or is the rootsweb version considered pretty reliable?--GrapedApe (talk)16:54, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, the SSDI is the only way to access the United StatesDeath Master File. As far as reliability, it's just as likely to make a typo or an error as any news report, so if those are considered reliable, this should be as well.CanadianPaul15:03, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey GrapedApe,

Sorry that I overwrote your last edit toList of Pennsylvania state historical markers in Washington County. I had a large edit that I hadn't yet saved. All the wikilink fixes that you had made were in my edit, except that I retained the official title of each marker to display on the table. I apologize if I stepped on your toes. I really don't care if the titles stay that way, but that is how I was filling them in for the rest of the PA county marker lists. Thanks for your help. I'm done with Washington County for now, so we won't get our edits crossed further.CrazyPaco (talk)23:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please not create one sentence NRHP stubs. Although, I see you've finished with Washington County. If you plan on going back and expanding some of theme, I can point you to where you can get the nomination forms, which are a great source to use in an article. There is plenty of interesting information on these sites if one looks (seeHawthorne School (Canonsburg, Pennsylvania) and thePennsylvania Railroad Passenger Station (California, Pennsylvania), which I was able to expand).Niagara ^{Don't give up the ship}16:18, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi GrapedApe. With Niagara's comment here and another's comment atTalk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Pennsylvania, you're running into an issue that some/many frequent NRHP article editors have opinions about. There's been some acrimony, in fact, and there's a wide spectrum of views about when starting new NRHP articles is helpful or not. One extreme could be that no article should be started if it is not Featured Article quality, immediately; the other extreme is that any start is an advance, and helpful. I and most others have viewpoints somewhere inbetween. I believe there's no Wikipedia policy reason why an article should not be started, however, and I for one look at your new articles indexed inNational Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Pennsylvania as a contribution. I agree with Niagara and others that more in any one article is better, though, so if you can follow Niagara's advice and find your way to add NRHP nomination forms (great references for these), that would be great, though is not required by any absolute rule. There's some instructions meant to help with that posted atwp:NRHPhelp (scroll down to Pennsylvania). I'm not sure how good those instructions are, will try now to use them to further develop one or two of these Washington County articles. Anyhow, thanks for your contributions, and please consider joining the NRHP WikiProject and/or participating at its Talk page(shortcutswp:NRHP andwt:NRHP). --doncram (talk)18:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • P.S. Hey, i am trying to develop theBeallsville Historic District one a bit more, now, for example, using the NRHP nomination document available for it. Also, I noticed your comment about getting Pennsylvania state staff involved in correcting info about one of the NRHP entries, relative to the NRHP's NRIS system data about the place. That's great. You should know that we have an error note collection system about NRHP errors, atwp:NRIS info issues PA for Pennsylvania items. I have tried corresponding with the NRHP about fixing errors regarding other states, but I don't believe anyone has been working on getting Pennsylvania-related errors corrected. Thanks for working on that one! --doncram (talk)20:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you for the notes. Frankly, I'm surprised that creating stub articles on obviously note-worthy subjects can arouse such negativity, like thisrude comment. I fail to see how creating those stubs--with a reference, a full infobox, and relevant categories--can possibly be a bad thing. Featured articles don't spring fully-formed from the mind of contributors: they must start somewhere. Thanks for trying to explain what the dispute is all about, rather than just being nasty. I'll take a look at the Beallsville article. However, I'll probably steer clear of other NRHP articles, because I'd rather not be harassed by some self-appointed arbiters of protocol at the NRHP project. --GrapedApe (talk)21:13, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Please don't be discouraged in article creation. Stub articles aren't ideal, but how many featured articles started out as stubs in the first place? I stubbed the entireNational Register of Historic Places listings in Florida about 4 years ago, with basic two to three sentence stubs. I did put in a couple of extra refs in each one, though. Part of the problem with the short-short stubs is that they used to have deletion attempts made on them frequently, due to insufficient assertion of notability. Not as much of an issue now, but it is something to think about, when creating any stub. My philosophy, though, is that articles have to start somewhere, and it's easier to expand something already existing. Some of us don't have the attention span to create extensive and gloriously referenced articles. But stubs can be expanded, that's what they're for. Some of the ones I created have. I'm all about quantity. Oh, and quality too, I suppose. My two pence, for what it's worth. :) --Ebyabe (talk)21:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, I visited to try to explain the rude-type comment, which i thot would be disturbing (and i think it was meant to be). I cannot justify that behavior by another editor. To be clear, I think it is fine that you created the articles, with a reference, etc., as you say, and it is a positive contribution. I wonder, do you have connection to the Washington County area, and would you be able to take and upload pictures of any of these?
        • If you might be interested, one area where I could use some similar help, and where your creating articles would be welcomed, isNational Register of Historic Places listings in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I am working there on both creating new articles and also on developing them and adding NRHP nomination document references. There are about 15 remaining red-links there, and I would be very glad if you would start them, and I also believe i can assure you that others would not interfere negatively there. Others have not been bothering me there, and I would surely object strenuously if anyone did interfere negatively. Any which way, thanks again for your contributions. --doncram (talk)15:28, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GrapedApe,

I notice that the administratorUser:Phantomsteve seems to have deleted a few of your images (File:4thavepgh.jpg andFile:GatewayCenter.jpg), that you seemed to have taken and were used in, and valuable for illustrating, a couple of Pittsburgh articles. This administrator cited ‎ "(F9: Unambiguous copyright violation: from www.cyburbia.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26389 ("©1994-2010 Cyburbia"))", which seems unusual, because he is citing a copyright violation based on someone posting those photos in a thread on a public message board. Can you verify that these were your photos? I would like to get them restored to Wikipedia. Thanks.CrazyPaco (talk)17:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the reply. Don't know how I got the uploader confused. (must have been that they werehere) Thanks for setting me straight. It's still strange that the reasoning for deletion was that they were posted on a public message board. The copyright does not apply to the photo, but if wasn't that user's photo, then I guess it doesn't matter.CrazyPaco (talk)00:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Conk, yeah, I saw that Cathedral crop thing (btw, I do appreciate you defending it). Honestly though, while I don't like not being attributed, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that those things are going to happen if I'm going to upload images. I've seen my pic of the CoL (and others) on other websites, and there is really nothing you can do about it. That comes with the territory of having it accessible to everyone. I don't like Conk's behavior, but I'd rather have the project take the high road and give him his due process on those images which only would cost a couple of weeks delay. He/she has seemed to have also uploaded what appears to be some legit images. It did happened to me once where I had an image of mine tagged for PUF just because of how it looked. Now that said, I didn't have Conk's track record, but still...and some of my images have been scanned from older developed photos that I have taken so there is no exif, so I guess that is where I'm coming from on this. Hey, btw, great work on all the W&J stuff. Cheers..CrazyPaco (talk)02:10, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is a bit out of your comfort zone, but I started a GA review ofM-6 (Michigan highway) and there seems to be a difference of opinion with the author over how much explanatory material should be included to make the article self explanatory. I would appreciate a second set of eyes reading the article to see whether it should be clarified, particulary with respect to who designates roads as a part of the National Highway System and the use of exit number designations. I would appreciate if you could spend a couple of minutes looking it over. Thanks.Racepacket (talk)13:01, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You worked hard... and it is difficult to get people to review the article... I have an idea of what you go through, because I recently spent some time in developping the French article on theUniversity of Heidelberg (Université de Heidelberg).

I read it quickly through and I have a few comments I'd like to discuss with you first. In some case I find the history very detailed, for example, William E. Slemmons apparently did not do much, so I would not expect to find him in the main article. On the other hand I think Relations with the city of Washington belongs to the history of the university. --Anneyh (talk)17:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you tagged a number of images (mostly related to brass Rat) as possible Copyvios. However, I don't see that you notified the uploader of the image. In some cases, there may be a simple answer, for example, if the creator of the image was a member of the ring committee, it is not impossible that the creator also added the image to the MIT page. I'm like to hear from some of them before deleting, but they haven't been informed.--SPhilbrickT15:37, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GrapedApe – a few things to note regarding W&J football coaches.

1. Iupgraded the W&J football coach navbox per new WP:CFB standardization. While doing so, I noticed that you never putR. LeBlanc Lynch inList of Washington & Jefferson Presidents head football coaches, even though the2007 W&J football media guide lists him as the first coach spanning from 1891 into part of the 1892 season.
2. In the coach navbox, I listed J. J. Clark as an interim head coach, because according to the 2007 media guide, he was the head coach for only 4 games in 1892. If Lynch is listed as the head coach for 1891and 1892, this (to me anyway) signifies that Clark was an interim. If you disagree please raise the issue and we will try to hash it out.
3. I happened to find that there is a mention of R. LeBlanc Lynch in the articleSt. James Episcopal Church (Amesbury, Massachusetts). I would be stunned if the Reverend and the football coach weren't one in the same. I was thinking perhaps this might interest you in creating his article (if you can find the sources)? Anywho, that's about all for now. Cheers!Jrcla2 (talk)13:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While I appreciate that for most of the social fraternities that changing the link fromWashington & Jefferson College toGreek organizations at Washington & Jefferson College makes sense, Alpha Phi Omega is not mentioned at all in that Greek Organizations page. Since you seem to have an interest in the page (or at least mentioning the page on your personal page), I thought I'd talk to you before reverting since adding Alpha Phi Omega to the Greek Organizations page would also be a solution.

Greetings. A brief note of acknowledgment of your seeking to move a disagrement over content at theMother of Fraternities article towards a resolution this past May 16th. I'm sorry that I did not contribute to the discussion at that time. I found the behavior of user 71.106.150.61 so frustrating that it resulted in a six month hiatus from Wikipedia just to chill out.

I see the article reverted to its inadequately supported state in the wake. I'm not interested in banging my head against the wall with that user again. If anything ever works out for the best, do drop a note. Thanks.Wikiuser100 (talk)17:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, GrapedApe, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing atWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story whether the article Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at theHelp Desk.

Thanks again for your contributions!Kansan (talk)02:59, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GrapedApe. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging forspeedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request forBabyboom (EP), a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at thesuggested tasks for patrollers and review thecriteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section coveringnon-criteria. Such pages are best tagged withproposed deletion,proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriatedeletion discussion.I just wanted to give you a heads up. While the referenced article did not indicate importance and/or significance, it was not applicable for deletion under the A9 criteria for speedy deletion, due to the existence of the artist's article. In these situations, the general response is to redirect the article to the artist article, in accordance with the guidelines atWP:NALBUMS. If you have questions, feel free to contact me.

Hi.

I'm wondering about your proposed deletion of the above file. It was uploaded from Flickr, with a free license 4.5 years ago. Unfortunately, the free license cannot be checked NOW, because the original photog is no longer on Flickr. It seems to me that the uploader probably followed the rules as they existed 4.5 years ago, and that if you had wanted to check the license you had plenty of time to do it earlier. Best to AGF now.Smallbones (talk)04:22, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• So, your argument is that Wikipedia should host content without any evidence that it is freely licensed...because it probably is OK?--GrapedApe (talk)04:24, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, I am simply stating that the file has been OK for 4.5 years, it was uploaded in Good Faith (probably according to the rules then in force). It seems to me that you've missed your chance to challenge the license. Otherwise, rules can be changed and enforcement practices shift, resulting in the possible deletion of ANY file on Commons. Nobody wants that , do they?Smallbones (talk)14:04, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The use of the helmets taken from eitherhttp://nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/index.htm orhttp://nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/ cant be justified under fair use, your will see fromWikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 December 11#File:LSU Helmet.png the helmet element (not the logo) part image IS replaceable, just go to any game and take a free picture (then make a Fair use claim for the logo element) , and in cases where the logo is not copyrightable as in the case ofFile:North Texas.png (as it only contains letters) there is no need to make a fair use claim.Mtking ^(edits)19:43, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks, but I already made my opinions known.--GrapedApe (talk)22:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graped, my understanding of copyright and trademark law and Wikipedia policy is that Wikipedia requires CC-By-SA released images. Irregardless of the team/school logo, the helmet drawing is the problem here in that helmet image itself isn't released for commercial use. Using it in WIkipedia is a copyright violation of the helmet project website that created it as it has not been released it by CC-By-SA. Also, in the case of the Pitt football helmet, for instance, it isn't actually a copyrighted or trademarked logo of the football team so fair use doesn't apply (only "Pitt" is trademarked). It is also replaceable since one could get a photo of any of these helmets (unfortunately, I don't have the current helmet for pitt, although I have two older helmets) or draw our own helmet. None of any other team's helmet images have survived deletion requests and most have now been deleted.CrazyPaco (talk)06:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  Of the three names you gave, I am 100% certain thatEthelbert Patterson Oliphant was a federal appointee (theArizona Organic Act, my primary basis of comparison, references Washington's organic act for details of how the territorial government was to be organized). The same is almost certainly true of the other two, but I do not know enough details to make such a statement with complete certainty.

Hello GrapedApe. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion ofBabar Luck, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern:Article claims coverage in reliable sources. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk03:53, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've declined your speedy in view of the age of the article, as I feel it should be dealt with at AfD. As a result, it's atWikipedia:Articles for deletion/President's House Association.Peridon (talk)12:28, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of things in regards to the article. 1) Yes, I agree it needs secondary sources. 2) Is there are a reason that this article got a 7 days to establish notability rather than a formal AFD?Naraht (talk)11:56, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GrapedApe, and thanks for patrolling new pages!

Bah, sorry for the auto-template, but yeah, I think AfD is the place for this. --Selket^Talk16:46, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Could you provide some guidance about what else would need to be included in the Susquehanna University lead section to adequately summarize the content? It seemed similar to what other universities are using. Thanks.SUCrusader1858 (talk)20:19, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that link - I'm afraid I spend so much time on different wikis that I have trouble remembering when to add the interwiki part.  :( --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.}00:51, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if your edit was proper or not. I'm new here so I may just be misinformed, but the PROD page says that when a page with PROD on it is nominated for speedy deletion, the PROD tag should remain in case the speedy deletion is rejected. Obviously your edit does not do that, but my edit to add PROD was under the same rationale, i.e. if speedy is rejected then PROD remains. What is the proper course of action here, do I need to watch that page in order to PROD it if it is not speedily deleted? or what? --RHSN (talk)23:44, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
