DYK nomination of Big Sur Land Trust
Hello! Your submission of Big Sur Land Trust at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 23:10, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just took a look at the page to try to suggest more hooks. I wikified the apostrophes and quotation marks to the preferred Wikipedia font. This font is not used on most computers or websites, so the apostrophes and quotation marks need to be fixed after you put your article in the edit window. Also, it's not necessary to put the identifying names of the citations (e.g. ) in quotes. It just adds more bytes to the server and also makes it difficult to search the article for those quotation marks that need to be changed to Wikipedia font. Best, Yoninah (talk) 22:53, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Cvr bsa nylt 2011 syllabus.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Cvr bsa nylt 2011 syllabus.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:12, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Clear issue with Bánáthy article
As a courtesy, I wanted to let you know, that the GA review that was done on this article, earlier, was deeply flawed, and that the article needs serious attention, so it is under review again. Please, if as it appears, you had a relationship with the title subject—for instance, working for an organisation of which he was an important part—this needs to be stated clearly, at the article's talk page. This is raised because you are described at a whitestag.org page as being the author of the Wikipedia page, and at various other whitestag.org pages as being the author of that organisations materials. At the same time, this article repeatedly cites whitestag pages. This appears to be a clear conflict of interest on your part, such that no work from that site is third party (independent) content. Please, reply at the article Talk page. Issues are WP:NPOV and WP:COI. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 05:04, 26 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Béla H. Bánáthy, an article that you or your project may be interested in, has been nominated for an individual good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Leprof 7272 (talk) 06:23, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Caresse Crosby
Dear sir Thank you for your message.

Caresse Crosby certainly had Royal ancestors. The Jacob family line, via Walter Jacob's marriage to Eleanor Harvey (a granddaughter of Sir Oliver Oglander - whose family descended straight from the Plantagenets) and the marriage of William Jacob of Chale Abbey to Harriet Hearn, can be traced directly to Medieval Royalty. In the case of the Hearn family it is through the Jolliffe and Leigh families. Caresse's father called his pet cow Dowsabelle in reference to the descent from the Oglanders. At no point were her, or my, ancestors called Allerdyce.

With best wishes

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Charley Smith (Cowboy)


A tag has been placed on Draft:Charley Smith (Cowboy) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.historynet.com/wyatt-earp. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * User:btphelps I didn't request a block because I assumed good faith, which is that you mistakenly thought that you had a right to maintain the copyrighted materials on WMF servers.

File:Donald E. Bently.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm writing to ask you for your valuable help to expand, improve the article on a California actress, writer and model who now lives in Mexico, I have two versions of the biography here and here, I searched for other news through her facebook page, only I do not know from where to start not being a native English speaker. Turning on the wikipedia I saw that you are good, indeed an excellent creator of good quality articles, I wondered if you would like to improve this page since you are also a member of the project Women in Red, and you're an expert in biographies. I ask you this little courtesy, that is to make the page of Lori more decent, naturally if I can do something for you quietly ask, I will be at your service promptly. Greetings from Calabria and see you soon!--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 11:33, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Ciao, @Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino, Grazie per la vostra richiesta, e per la tua gentile e generosa lode. Greetings from Carson City, Nevada. It is a beautiful Sabbath day here, no clouds in the sky. If you would like to draft something with references, perhaps in your sandbox, I could help improve the English language before it is added to the article. I'm not able to write something from the beginning based on a couple of sources. — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 17:57, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Buongiorno e buon inizio mese, I am writing to greet you and ask you if you could refresh the article, eliminating or reformulating what I have included. Of course if I can do something for you, ask quietly. I apologize if I'm a bit 'urgent but I'm in a hurry to finish this article in English and then start the translation into other languages, I hope you will understand me. a warm greeting from Coreca--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 06:59, 1 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Sorry, the article has been copied and pasted from IMDB. This is a copyright violation and is not an acceptable practice. Why don't you write something in your native language based on multiple sources and then seek help? Unfortunately, Playboy bunnies aren't of much interest to me, and I question their notability. — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 16:55, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Bralessness Source link for Lu Chen Study
Hi Btphelps,

Great work on this article.

I also wanted to point out something on a recent reduction you did for source URLs on the Lu Chen/Hutchinson study. I agree with your condensing the two references into one. However, the one you selected was only to the abstract. IMO it would be better to link to the full study details in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4184992/

The quotation I added to my change came from this link. The current link you have does not include the quote and I'm concerned that without the link to the quote it would be more difficult to support the quote. Since you updated the majority of the URLs to the wayback machine not long ago, I didn't want to make this change without going through you. &sect; Music Sorter &sect;  (talk) 14:42, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Help with Girl Scout Cookies
I just saw the message you left me over at WP:Scout and I'm sorry I missed it! I have a paid COI with GSUSA and I've been working with two other editors on some changes to the article on Girl Scout Cookies and we've made some good progress, but lately they've gone a bit quiet. Would you be willing to help review some of the proposed changes? Right now I'm looking for feedback on the lead section. If you have the time, could you take a look? I'd really appreciate it.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 01:12, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello again! I just wanted to thank you again for your time and effort in helping me with the Girl Scout Cookies article. I believe I tagged you over there, but I wanted to ping you here for visibility as well. I think you offered a great version of the lead section, and I'd appreciate your continued help with publishing it if you're available.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 21:23, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, glad to lend a hand when I can, though I am tending to do less and less on WP. — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 18:53, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate the help, especially from someone familiar with scouting. North8000 just added the new lead section, but if you're still available, could you take a look at proposed edits three, five, and six? They've been sitting without any feedback in the last two weeks. Thanks again!--FacultiesIntact (talk) 20:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
