Griesmer Site moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Griesmer Site, 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 " " 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. buidhe 02:18, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

I think you caught me just as I was adding the references; it should be okay now!B1deroo (talk) 04:12, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Infoboxes
You have been inserting the infobox for NRHP into your articles. This infobox is specific to sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and requires certain fields to be used, such as the NRHP ref num. I have changed your articles to used the historic site infobox. At least one time, you changed it back to NRHP. Please do not used NRHP unless a site is on the national register.

Hi, I’m sorry about that! I didn’t realize you had changed it. I’m new to Wikipedia so please bear with me.

The reason I changed it was, when looking at my iPhone or in a search box, other articles would have some small text underneath, saying “United States Historic Place” or something else. If you use the Historic Site infobox, nothing shows up underneath and it made me feel like the article was somehow incomplete.

So, last night I tried to troubleshoot and I figured out that if I used the HRHP infobox, it puts the small text underneath that says “United States Historic Place” underneath.

Hope that makes sense! Thanks for setting me straight on this. B1deroo (talk) 11:20, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Juntunen Site Request
Hi! I noticed you've been adding a bunch of great content to the Juntunen Site article, including, recently, some images. Does the resource you're using have a photo or drawing of the site itself? If so, adding that to the infobox would make a great addition to the article. Thanks for your work! Andrew Jameson (talk) 09:42, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Andrew! Yes, I have an aerial photograph I can add. I'll do that shortly. Thank you!B1deroo (talk) 23:09, 19 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Cool, thanks! Likewise for other sites - for example, although the Moccasin Bluff Site article has a recent image in the infobox (recent images being generally preferred, in my opinion, although not necessarily always), I think the article could be improved by including an aerial photo, or a photo of the excavation, or even a sketch of the site, if any are available. That would help readers visualize the site itself. Andrew Jameson (talk) 10:08, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Hotel Plaza
Hello, I responded to you at the talk page, someone else moved the discussion to the bottom of the talk page as that is the usual place, so going forward best to make talk posts at the bottom, thanks (and see my comment over there). Alanscottwalker (talk) 12:23, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!
Always glad to have someone new adding sites in this particular field, especially someone other than an illustrator\amateur like myself. I'm not super active here anymore, but you will probably run into my contributions on many Mississippian and related cultures articles. Do you have a list of the new site articles you've created, so they can be added to the Mississippian and related cultures nav template? Let me know if you need any advice on editing in/outs, it can take awhile to accumulate all of the minutiae here.  He  iro  01:04, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much, Heironymous Rowe! I may take you up on your offer because I need all the help I can get!  I find Wikipedia's "help" pages to be EXTREMELY daunting...  I've been at this since January and I've created 18 new articles and made major contributions to 4 others.  They are all on archaeological sites in the Midwest (Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin).  The ones I've created that are Upper Mississippian sites or have Upper Mississippian components are: Moccasin Bluff, Schwerdt and Summer Island in Michigan; Griesmer and Fifield in Indiana; Huber, Palos, Hoxie Farm, Knoll Spring, Oak Forest, Anker, Zimmerman (aka Grand Village of The Illinois), Hotel Plaza, Plum Island, Gentleman Farm and the Fisher Mound Group in Illinois; and Carcajou Point in Wisconsin.  I've been adding articles about 1 per week and I'm planning on continuing at that pace for a while; but also starting to think about working more on the higher-level articles about archaeological phases, cultures, etc, and looping these into my individual site articles for additional detail.  Thanks again!B1deroo (talk) 01:26, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I'll see about incorporating them into the template. You can add the template to the respective pages by adding this "    " to the bottom of articles along with the categories, and it is a relatively simple task to add future articles to the template (it's not required to do so, but I think the nav template is a convenient way to keep them all easily accessible from each article).
 * A few more tips:
 * After a quick scan of the Carcajou Point article. With wikilinks (the linking of terms like pottery), you only need to link a term once (the first time you use it) and then do not link it afterwards (for example Upper Mississippian, Oneota, and Temper (pottery) are linked multiple times in the article). If you see someone come behind you and remove some of the extra links, don't worry about it, it is because of the Manual of Style policy on MOS:DUPLINKing.
 * The ceramic traits info in the Pottery Artifacts section could maybe work better as a table, such as this one Mississippian culture pottery. They can be tricky to work with and can take some time to learn how to edit, but the information scans better when reading it. If you click the edit button for that example section, you can see the how the code works for generating a table. It's pretty simple to use it as a template and copy and paste your own information into it in place of whats there and then add it to your article. Or possibly as a list with subsections. But the way you have it right now with the bolding in the paragraphs and a few other things probably violates at least 3 things on the MoS that will drive some wikieditors crazy, lol. Don't be surprised if someone fixes that for you at some point (I may even try tinker with it a little, just for the more egregious things).  He  iro  02:13, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Hey thanks again! Your comments are a HUGE help and are much appreciated! I'll try not to overdo it on the links anymore. The pottery stuff, yeah I tend to throw too much stuff on there and sometimes I am bothered by it too. I'm thinking that at some point, I'll have separate articles for some of the major "Ware" groups and have the detailed info there and not clutter up the individual site articles; if that makes any sense! That way I could just provide links for those archaeology geeks who want to see the nuts-and-bolts of the detailed pottery descriptions. ALSO I do know about the Wikitables; the majority of my articles have them for the non-pottery artificts. Carcajou Point does not because the site report is copyrighted and I can't use the photos of the artifacts. if you want to tinker with some of my formatting and presentation please go ahead. I consider everything is a shared effort on Wikipedia! I would only point out that I've done about 20 articles now and they all follow pretty much the same format; so if you make major changes on one of them it just kind of breaks up the consistency a little bit. Just something to keep in mind! Again thanks SO MUCH for all your comments!!B1deroo (talk) 03:34, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Wayne Smoothed.jpeg


The file File:Wayne Smoothed.jpeg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused, and there's a good chance that this isn't PD - the Google books version of the book indicates that the book is copyright by the publisher in 1965, so that likely counts as a copyright notice. Orphaned with questionable licensing."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Life of a Cowboy (1906 film)
I found the article rather interesting, but heavily lacking, surely a film of that age would have more interesting third party coverage, reception, what newspapers thought of it at the times. It sounds like it should be more culturally important to American cinema history, but I don't see that in the article. Did you not find other sources to add to the article?

Thank You For Your Riviere Au Vase Research, Would You Be Able To Help With Another Mound Group?
I've been doing a lot of research on the mounds of Michigan and loved that you made an article on Riviere Au Vase, which is only a couple of minutes from my house. I recently stumbled across the Ogemaw County Earthworks and thought they could use an article. Would you be able to help me with this? I have found a good book by Fred Dustin, but that was the extent of the information I could find. There seems to be a couple papers, but none of them are published online, and there are a few mentions in academic journals, but they are all from before 1900. Being that you're an archeologist I thought that going to you for help would be the best choice, considering i'm just a busy high school student who happens to be an armchair historian. Please let me know if you would be willing to help me on this endeavor. Bowtiesarecool06 (talk) 22:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
