Categories

Hello, Lieutcoluseng

I see that you emptied Category:Franks. If you believe that a category should be deleted, renamed or merged, please nominate it at Categories for Discussion rather than emptying it out-of-process. This category has existed since 2005 and it is worth having a discussion over rather than having it deleted by speedy deletion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 18:41, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Liz. Thank you for the cordial manner in which you brought the matter up. In retrospect, I should have requested Category:Franks be a "redirect" rather than shifting the contents to Category:Frankish people. It appears to be a redundant category as, with the case of Category:Germans, a redirect had already been established linking that category to Category:German people. Guess I kind of saw what I did as a "clean up" of sorts. If you and other editors think a redirect more appropriate to avoid redundant confusion, perhaps it is the better route to take.

Questions regarding repeated edits on American Legion Page

Hello Lieutcoluseng. I came across the page for the American Legion page today, and found it to be very bare. Upon reviewing the page's history, it seemed that it once had a very long and detailed History section, full of referenced information. However, on August 12, 2019, it seems you deleted all of it in an edit simply titled "Clean up". Seeing as you are a frequent editor of this page, I was wondering if you had any further explanation as to why you deleted so much information put there by other users, and have never bothered to expand the article further. I also noticed from your user page that you yourself are a member of the American Legion, so I just wanted to bring Wikipedia's conflict of interest guide to your attention.

Amtoastintolerant (talk) 03:55, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Amtoastintolerant. Thank you for the cordial manner in which you brought the matter up. It's good to see such interest in the history of this great U.S. war-era veterans' organization. I am in fact familiar with Wikipedia's conflict of interest, but do not believe it applies in this particular case since the lengthy historical information to which you refer was simultaneously "pasted" into a newly created Wikipedia page titled, "History of the American Legion" especially built for the purpose. In retrospect, I might have made it a bit clearer to other Wikipedia editors the content was used verbatim in the building of that newly created Legion article but presumed my adding a "Main article: History of the American Legion" wikilink to the top of the old section would suffice. Lieutcoluseng (talk) 03:30, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, User:Lieutcoluseng, I'm equally glad to see that no information was lost in the transfer. My first impression of the American Legion page was that the History section was pretty barebones, only really talking about the organization's formation and founding members. Seeing as you're heavily involved in this subject, if this section were to be edited, what eras and topics do you think would be most suitable to add to this page?

Best, Amtoastintolerant (talk) 03:39, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

That's a good question, Amtoastintolerant. Perhaps, when life slows down a bit; something related to the 1919 founding, Paris and St. Louis caucuses, or 1st National Convention that "formalized" the establishment of this post-World War organization. Historical legislative influences with regards to history of the VA and the "GI Bill" could be another. Lieutcoluseng (talk) 04:18, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Jimmy Carter, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:12, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

For what it's worth, Neveselbert. The source is, in fact, published; but embedded as a "pop up" within the image itself. If you click on the image of Carter wearing the Legion cap in his New Georgia Encyclopedia article, it does state: "Carter is a member of the American Legion, a mutual-aid veterans organization formed in 1919." Why the encyclopedia didn't put that verbiage in the main article, I haven't the foggiest. Lieutcoluseng (talk) 22:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Veterans on Patrol

It's got sources saying it's a militia so I don't see a justification for your change.. But if you want to discuss this, please use the talk page. Thanks.. Doug Weller talk 09:44, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello there, Doug Weller. Thank you for your constructive comments regarding the recently reverted article edits. If you think those edits flawed after reviewing the only two classes of militia as defined by federal law here: "The Militia" , than who am I to contradict? But that said; I seriously doubt if any members of this elite group were to be charged with a future crime (hypothetically speaking, of course) they would be tried in anything other than a civilian court as a paramilitary group since they are not a state or federally recognized militia unit as defined by federal statute. At any rate, that was my only thought when originally editing the Wikipedia article. But, again, I will defer to your logic. Lieutcoluseng (talk) 01:37, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
@Lieutcoluseng HI. I think you need to review any edits where you have made similar changes as we only go by what reliably published sources say. See WP:RS. What you are doing is interpreting the law, ie deciding that it applies to a group, and that is [[WP:NOR|no original research. It isn't logic but our policy. Thanks.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations.

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Lieutcoluseng!

  • The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
  • We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
  • If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
