Plankinton DYKs
Hi Doug, have you considered combining the John Plankinton and the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion nominations to make a single hook? The length issue would be reduced as the characters in John's name would no longer count. You could make something like:


 * ... that John Plankinton built the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion (pictured) as a wedding gift for his only daughter, but she refused to live in it because her fiancé ran off with a dancer?

By my count, this version is only 143 characters. You could name Park if you wished, or add something before John's name, like businessman or businessman and philanthropist. Or, you could borrow from John's nomination, and go with:
 * ... that "Merchant Prince and Princely Merchant" John Plankinton built the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion (pictured) as a wedding gift for his only daughter, but she refused to live in it because her fiancé ran off with a dancer?

If you expanded Park's bio by about 2500 characters, it could be added too:
 * ... that "Merchant Prince and Princely Merchant" John Plankinton built the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion (pictured) as a wedding gift for Elizabeth, his only daughter, but she refused to live in it after her fiancé, Richard Henry Park, ran off with a dancer?

This last one is still under 200 characters by the rules. Anyway, I just thought I'd stop by and make the suggestion. Cheers, EdChem (talk) 14:37, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Great ideas = like the way you think! At the moment I am getting over a cold, so don't have all my RAMs going. Will take a morning nap, and THEN look these over again. Thanks again for ideas and likely will do one of them.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Proposed "Merchant Prince and Princely Merchant" 2-in-1 hook - not sure what the procedure was for submitting the 2-in-1 new hook, so left a Comment on each nomination of John Plankinton and Elizabeth Plankinton House. Thanks for ideas.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:51, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

GOCE request

Carrom Company
Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Carrom Company has been completed.

You'll notice that I turned this sentence into a quotation which I assume it was - An 1895 newspaper advertisement said that "to get the boys to stay home, provide for them the carroms game to play with." I trust this is accurate.

You write of the lawsuit filed against Montogmery & Ward but make no mention of the outcome. If this can be determined, it would interest readers. Just a thought.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Good luck with the GAN.

Help with simple updates for National Automobile Dealers Association article?
Hi there! I'm reaching out as I'm trying to find someone to help with some improvements I've proposed for the National Automobile Dealers Association article. On behalf of the organization, I've posted an edit request for a few small, straightforward updates on the article's talk page, and I'm looking for an editor to review and add as appropriate. I see you've contributed to the American Motor League and Chrysler articles before, so I wonder if you'd have any interest in taking a look at this auto-related request? I posted a request for help on the WikiProject's talk page and to some other WikiProject users, but so far no one has responded. Would really appreciate your help if you have a few minutes to spare.

Replaceable fair use File:Century Tower Clock inscription.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Century Tower Clock inscription.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 00:38, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Did You Know that many members of the Ludington family are associated with the founding of American cities in one way or another? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * All we need in each section I made already is a short paragraph of each, especially something to do with them involved with the founding or controlling or developing of an American city. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * ALT1 - Did You Know that James, Henry, Lewis, and Nelson of the Ludington family are associated with the founding of American cities? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Nominated the article for DYK with ALT1. Do you know how to do a QPQ?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:30, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, but we had time (at least 7 days). I think it was premature. There are rules against not being eligible if most of the material was copied from other articles. &mdash;አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 19:36, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * O.K. - Can you supply the QPQ then. Thanks. I don't like to wait to the last minute to nominate = sometimes causes problems. I usually nominate on the day I create the article, so to me this is a day late. Maybe you can expand the 3k article some. It's at 0.0% Earwig now.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:42, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * My previous nomination of a 2-in-1 I nominated on the day I created the articles. Most articles I nominate on the day I create them = then the age is short enough for sure! So far, its worked for me = 98% of all the articles I have ever created became a DYK (~500).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:50, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. We need to emulate the page to look more like a standard family page like Jackson family. Right now it is just about the individual members. &mdash;አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 20:41, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks like they have a genealogy family tree chart layout as well.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:48, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ 5,555 characters and 0.0% Earwig. Will that work. Any other ideas for a hook?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * As you can see I designed and developed the article around a hook (that family members founded cities) = typical of how I construct an article. That way then I have plenty of sources to support a hook. It doesn't matter if an article is submitted "premature" since most of the time a DYK Reviewer doesn't come by for a couple of weeks to review the nomination anyway. It's a way to stop the "DYK Clock" from ticking away and stealing all your time. This then takes all the pressure away = gives you at least a week to improve the article, to make sure it qualifies. Sometimes you even have more time left over. However it does make a difference IF the article is submitted in time = in this case of 2 days, as then it certainly is within the age time. Length is 4 times what is needed. Earwig is 0.0% and there is no copyvio. Most of the information came from new sources. My experience of almost 500 Did You Know articles indicates this article qualifies as one. Check out my Did You Know articles listed by subjects. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:21, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The article now has about 7.5K characters, and also some newspaper clippings, that I think make excellent references. Do you have the free Newspapers.com subscription from The Wikipedia Library? Can you do the QPQ (thanks).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:44, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The article is all done and just awaits for the QPQ. Can you do it? Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:30, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I will take care of the QPQ. &mdash;አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
User:7&6=thirteen submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * It is my privilege to nominate User Doug Coldwell for Editor of the Week. He has been an editor for 11 years. In that time, he has created almost 800 articles, and nearly 500 have become WP:DYKs. See here.  He has made over 40,000 live edits, and uploaded almost 4000 files to Commons, and they populate his articles.  See here. 64% of his edits are to articles. He does a tremendous amount of research using real books and presents meticulously researched articles that he has worked on at home and off line – which explains his constrained total edit count.  He is the soul of cooperative editing.  He is not a WP:Administrator. He does quiet work to make the project better.  Doug Coldwell would be a great editor of the week, IMO.

Good article creation

 * User:7&6=thirteen Thanks! It took a strong arm to lift the old solid irons.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:26, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Quare: Is the American Machine noted in Mary Florence Potts the predecessor to American Machine and Foundry?  If so it should be wikilinked.  <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 13:44, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * User:7&6=thirteen I know who AMF is since I worked for Brunswick = their competitor. I have never seen the connection of American Machine to AMF in my research that I can remember. My first guess is that there is no connection. BUT, I do know where the idea of Arm & Hammer came from of the baking soda, who is the originator of Cow Brand = that's no bull. Did You Know that it was John Dwight?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:12, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * User:7&6=thirteen This particular John Dwight - maybe you can make some improvements to it. I will probably submit for DYK nomination on June 4th.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:59, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
