 * @Gerda Arendt BTW, you were right about "pregnant", which probably made all the difference in that hook. Cielquiparle (talk) 18:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Invitation

 * Hello, we need experienced volunteers.
 * New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines ; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
 * If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
 * If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
 * Cheers, and hope to see you around.

New Page Reviewer granted
Hi Cielquiparle. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for maintenance so that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
 * Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
 * Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Cielquiparle, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 2

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)


 * It was on purpose. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:04, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

16 hour cycles
Just as an example: you mentioned hooks appearing in the appropriate geographical location. Who is going to go through


 * Jan 4 switch is made at GMT 0:00 and 16:00
 * Jan 5 switch is made at 12:00
 * Jan 6 switch is made at 0:400 and 20:00
 * Jan 7 switch is made at 08:00
 * Jan 8 switch is made at 0:00 and 16:00

...and decide where an Australian hook should best appear? When should special occasion hooks appear? What if only four hours of a day is in the most appropriate time zone, but that's in the middle of their night? Should we move it to the day before or after, even though it was supposed to appear on that day? Who makes that decision, and who is responsible for doing the actual physical swapping of hooks? What if a swap throws the rest of the prep set out of balance?

And that's just one scenario that shows how complicated this makes things. Other issues include that no one is sure without checking whether we were supposed to switch at midnight, 4 am, 8 am, noon, 4 pm, or 8pm, so multiple people are probably checking to make sure the bot did the update. And if it didn't, now we need to find an admin, which means remembering which admins might be available at 4am GMT or whenever. Sixteen hour cycles just increase the complexity by an order of magnitude. Valereee (talk) 16:38, 2 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Valereee The idea behind the 16-hour cycle is that there is no need to try to time the hooks for a specific geographic region. So no swapping is needed. Special occasion hooks would be tricky but you could always stop the 16-hour cycles once the load has stabilized. What I have noticed is that the midnight UK Time swap is the one that is not always well monitored anyway. Why not have a trial to see if it works at all, or if it is completely unmanageable? It's fine if the answer is no but I thought it was worth asking. Cielquiparle (talk) 16:49, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not that it isn't worth asking, but I think you mentioned it before and were told it was untenable.
 * There are a multitude of reasons it causes disproportionate extra work, and it doesn't actually in any way solve the problem that our prep builders are already overburdened with 24-hour cycles. 12 hour cycles would be worse for prep builders than 16, but 16-hour causes more extra work for others, too. It's just kind of a lose-lose to go to anything that people don't know without really thinking when an update should have happened. We used to run 8-hour cycles; that worked because everyone knew it was midnight, 8am, 4pm. Every day, same thing. Even when we go back and forth between 12 and 24, everyone knows: when we're on 2-a-days, it's noon and midnight. Otherwise it's midnight. But with 16-hour cycles, there are potentially six different times, and you can't be sure what it is today without checking which of three possible schedules it could be duirng 16-hours. Valereee (talk) 17:11, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining. Cielquiparle (talk) 17:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

 * If it's not in the article you certainly have to yeah. I took it on good faith that it was because I don't have a subscription.

Cooper prep 4
I know the reviewer expressed a preference but isn't Alt3 the best? The 55,000 is only sourced to the subject. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:15, 25 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Philafrenzy What if we changed the verb "travelled" to "logged" (which can mean "the miles you recorded yourself in your own logs" which is what it is)? (I recently raised the question of primary sources in hooks, and got a bunch of responses saying it was ok on a case-by-case basis.) It's still the one I want to click the most. Then again... I guess I just broke my own new "don't state any distances to avoid grief at all costs" rule. Cielquiparle (talk) 13:22, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I was thinking just that. Three is primary too but doesn't give a hard to verify claim. She was a sailor not a flyer, or indeed mathematician. What about three in the last slot? Philafrenzy (talk) 13:58, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved three to second to last. Do think it's better. Yay. Cielquiparle (talk) 14:08, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Special date requests
Hi Cielquiparle, I noticed you're working on Template:Did you know/Preparation area 4, scheduled to run on 11 February. Just want to make sure you know there are two special date requests for that day in the special occasion holding area. And thanks for building preps, by the way! I know it can sometimes be a thankless task. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 05:37, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * @Mx. Granger Thanks for flagging. Is there any way that the entire set as it currently exists could get shifted down to Preparation area 7? What is the "clean" and easiest way to solve this? Cielquiparle (talk) 05:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I suppose the easiest way might be to use the two special occasion hooks for the two remaining empty slots in the prep (and then rearrange the hooks to avoid having four US hooks in a row). I don't know if that would violate any of the unwritten rules of prep-building. Alternatively I imagine it would work fine to shift the current set to prep 7. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 05:46, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Cielquiparle. I was wondering if the hook of Nieuwmarkt metro station, which was pushed down to slot 2 because of this, could be moved to slot 1 of a later date (so probably prep 1 of 15 February). I believe the photo really adds another level to it. Now I'm well aware that not all hooks with a photo get to actually run on the Main Page with it, so just asking if it's possible or not. Thanks. ~Styyx Talk ? 14:40, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

efn Template usage?
Hello Cielquiparle, thank you for your edits (esp. the pool anecdote!) and advice re: John Hoke article. Top-shelf stuff.

I'm hoping you might be able to help me with the formatting of notes using the efn template (see note on Talk page of above). I've used this in articles that I've edited, but haven't gotten it to work exactly as it should (please see this and this). Ideally, where the same note is used multiple times, there shouldn't be identical copies of the note in the "Notes" section, but rather multiple incidences indicated by the "^" symbol — however, I've spent more time on this than a reasonable person might and couldn't get it right (yet). (Also not sure where the "Notes" section should be placed per MOS.) Lastly, the nomenclate "note 1" is ugly (to my eye, at least). It would be better the way you did it in the Hoke article (i.e., "a", "b", etc.; or even "i", "ii", etc.; or whatever the correct formatting and/or WP house-style is), but again, thus far, I have utterly failed to get the wikitext to co-operate with my intent, alas.

Hope it's okay to ask this sort of thing here. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 08:57, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * @Cl3phact0 Check out the first two gallery images in Dieter Rams now. Is that what you wanted? This page was helpful: Template:Efn. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:19, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Wow! Yes, great. Much better. Thank you so much (I wasn't expecting you to do it*, only show me the way). I'll study both the help document and the wikitext of your edits and try to up my game. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

efn usage? (thanks & follow-up)
Hello Cielquiparle, I wasn't sure if best to tack this onto the original (archived) thread, or add a new note here. I hope this is the correct choice. Re: efn usage, the Braun and Rams articles look good now, and I've taken the techniques you helped me with to another article that I've been focused on improving. Please have a look at efn usage in Brionvega (which I would not have been able achieve to without your example). Any comments or further improvements would be appreciated. Thanks again for your help, Cl3phact0 (talk) 17:17, 6 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Cl3phact0. Funnily enough... I thought of you yesterday when I found myself embedding efn into an awards table at Shirley Kurata (to indicate when she tied). I left a comment on the Brionvega article Talk page (about the content, not about the efn usage). Were you planning to consolidate the a/b/c/d end notes together with the numbered ones, or keep them separate? I think I would capitalise the "D" in "Designed by" since it's at the start of the note. Otherwise I'm not sure I'm much help as my experience with both efn and industrial design is fairly limited... Cielquiparle (talk) 22:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments on Talk:Brionvega. Following your advice, I've capitalised the "D" in "designed" – wasn't sure about that, but looking at it now, it's clear that you are right (idem for Braun article). As for descriptive prose about the objects themselves, I think you are right about this too – the only caveat being that as (more of) a visual thinker, once something is seen, it's challenging impossible for me to "un-see" it and switch back to prose. I'm ok with language like, "which is amongst the earliest examples of this product typology to challenge traditional shapes and aesthetics, making it a turning point in the history of Italian industrial design", but describing what something actually looks like can be tricky. I'll give it a spin just the same, but it's not really my lane. Re: a-b-c/1-2-3, I'm agnostic. I like the differentiation between the two types of information as is, but if there is a 'house style', happy to roll with that too. (Is there a "correct" way to do this per WP:MOS?)  Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 23:01, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Cl3phact0 In that case, I think you need sub-headings to clearly differentiate between two types of explanatory notes. (So the reader knows the two are separate for a specific reason, and also so that it looks tidy.) Regarding the descriptions, the whole point is that the burden is not on *you* to do the describing (which could quickly lead to WP:OR – instead, you should hunt for descriptions in secondary sources, which you can refer to as you rephrase in your own words or quote directly (with citations). Cielquiparle (talk) 23:11, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Point(s) taken. Thank you. (Not sure how to break into sub-headings. Will review.) -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 23:17, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I've tidied-up the notes using a sub-headed section for the designers within the "Gallery". (Please let me know if there's a better way to do this.) Thanks for the suggestion! -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 06:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

pshaw
seems like it broke in that WT:DYK thread, what wasn't working? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 05:02, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Theleekycauldron It only broke because of the upside down image and caption. First, it added like two or three extra lines above the image hook. The right thing to do was to ignore that, and to keep adding hooks below it – which is what I did after it first "flipped out" – and then sure enough, it worked after all. But after I mentioned what happened, dying fixed something and now PSHAW doesn't work at all for Prep 7 specifically. But whatever they did was likely technically necessary hygiene-wise, because I'm pretty sure whatever enabled turning multiple sets completely upside down wasn't supposed to be happening. Ironically before that all happened was when I thought I noticed the behavior of PSHAW messing up the credits in the wrong order, but because of the anomaly with the upside down pic in that set, maybe it doesn't count. Cielquiparle (talk) 05:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ahaa, makes sense. Yeah, I don't think PSHAW would know how to handle that – proooobably not worth implementing a fix. Thanks, though, fantastic job on the April Fools' set :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 18:59, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

DYK College Street, Dublin
I think "lofty parapet" sounds better and more exposed than "on the roof" which sound rather bland and safe. I've been up there and it is high and exposed, though I was there when there was scaffolding all around that side of the building during restoration in 1970s & 80s, and it really is high. Otherwise very good edits. Perhaps you would consider reverting that phrase but I won't revert you. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 09:40, 21 May 2023 (UTC)


 * @Ww2censor "Lofty parapet" sounds flowery and like OR, as I couldn't find any corresponding reference specifically to a parapet structure in the cited source. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:58, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is a much higher resolution image c:File:1868 Dublin visit by Prince & Princess of Wales.jpg. For the future you may find it helpful to know that on the Wayback Machine, if you look down the files list at the right side there is often a "SINGLE PAGE PROCESSED JP2 ZIP" file and the images there are very high resolution but first you have to find the exact page file (in this case image 19 of the unzipped files) and then you have to convert it to either jpg or png because we don't use JPG2000. This is what I did and chose jpg which was only a 4.7Mb file compared to the png at 9.8Mb and I've added a link to the other version in each file. Thanks for you input to the DYK. ww2censor (talk) 13:11, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I had a closer look at the description and actually the file description says it is College Green and not College Street which is to the left of Trinity College behind the people in the centre back of the image, and the Parliament building, and it cannot be seen from this vantage point. ww2censor (talk) 13:17, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @ww2censor Thanks for the tips and update. Image looks great! Error in the engraving title came from Margaret Cappock in Dublin Historical Record. Thinking of moving that paragraph and a link to the image you kindly uploaded to the article on College Green, Dublin. Cielquiparle (talk) 13:38, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Much better than the low res image though a bit too contrasty for my liking but that's what we get. Very appropriate to College Green. ww2censor (talk) 16:41, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Cyril Hogarth
Thank you for expanding the article. I am enquiring of Philafrenzy for his view on whether we can add the image side of the postcard under a "fair use" rationale. It is a charming colour illustration of two children sliding down the beard of a Karl Marx statue with a "Happy New Year" caption underneath. Edwardx (talk) 09:24, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There has to be a really compelling encyclopedic reason to use fair use - to show the object of the article for instance - and I regret that there doesn't seem to be one here. It's possible that the image is out of copyright which would be different, but Russian and Soviet copyright law is notoriously difficult and without being able to read the Russian inscription on the text side of the card it's difficult to say whether the author is stated and whether their artwork is now out of copyright. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:37, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Philafrenzy. Agreed that any case would likely be far from compelling, especially as the message side does not even mention the image. Perhaps it was an in-joke between them, perhaps of no significance at all. One can only speculate. Edwardx (talk) 11:49, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Philafrenzy What if @Edwardx were to describe the image to Midjourney or a similar AI tool which generated an equivalent image? Cielquiparle (talk) 12:46, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Currently, we deprecate AI generated images due to copyright doubts. In any case, as Edwardx says, it's not clear that the image in fact has any significance at all. What point does it or a similar creation illustrate and are there reliable sources supporting that interpretation? Philafrenzy (talk) 15:16, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

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) 02:31, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Irène Souka
Hi! I don't think that our discussion at Articles for deletion/Irène Souka was necessarily bludgeoning; we weren't just disagreeing with each other but actually having a meaningful discussion. Thanks for that, by the way! I felt like the discussion could be quite productive, particularly regarding the proposal of a new article for the Selmayr affair. I understand if you don't want to continue that discussion there to avoid anything that might share the appearance of bludgeoning, and discussion of new articles arguably doesn't belong in an AfD (although merging is a legitimate AfD outcome), but I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts on my response. If you think that I'm fundamentally misunderstanding WP:SIGCOV, it's also important for me to be aware of that. If you feel that we can't come to an agreement on the sourcing / notability situation on Souka, it would be great to hear what you think about the Selmayr affair article proposal. Thanks, and happy editing :) Actualcpscm (talk) 11:48, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

 * (Also...surely by now we all know the fallacy of "I am an authority because I do this for a living..." Plus you can't assume that the people you say that to don't also know what they do for a living.) Cielquiparle (talk) 20:18, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Welcome back
Welcome back to the preps. I am going to be off and on this month so I am glad to see your name in DYK promotions. Bruxton (talk) 20:32, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Women in Etruscan society
Cielquiparle, did you do a special check of the hook on this one when you promoted it to the lead of Prep 4? Note that this particular hook was proposed by the reviewer who also approved the nomination, so someone really needs to have done a careful check of it, since no one had checked it at all prior to your promotion (and I don't have the time). Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:28, 3 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes. It is actually very similar to ALT0. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:34, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Question
Is it normal for an article nominated and approved for "Did you know...?" that it should take so long for it to be advertised under the platform DYK, such as in the case of Jewish astrology which has yet to show-up under DYK?Davidbena (talk) 23:44, 14 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @Davidbena "Advertised" is probably the wrong word. I see that your hook ran yesterday. Congratulations and thanks for your contribution to DYK. Short answer is yes. Especially if problems are found after the initial QPQ review. Cielquiparle (talk) 02:21, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Women in Green GA Editathon October 2023 - Around the World in 31 Days
 Hello :

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Italian Quarter, Dublin
Hi @Cielquiparle, thanks for the Did you Know? nom for Italian Quarter, Dublin. Interesting to see how this pans out... 😃 Ridiculopathy (talk) 14:48, 16 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Ridiculopathy! Current thinking is to turn that DYK submission into a "double hook" together with Last Supper mural. Will try to take care of that in the next 24 hours. In the meantime, the biggest suggestion I have for you is to get registered on Wikipedia Library if you haven't already done so! I'm sure you are eligible. The access to sources is truly priceless. (But if you have any problems, let me know.) Cielquiparle (talk) 12:31, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey @Cielquiparle, thanks for that, I'll check it out. Also, thanks for your additions to the Italian Quarter page and for creating a page for the Last Supper mural. The stone bench below the mural used to be one of the few places people could actually sit down in the Temple Bar area without having to pay anything. There aren't many benches around Temple Bar, maybe to prevent people loitering or something? Last time I was in Dublin (March-ish 2023) I noticed the Council, or somebody, had installed one of those heavy duty metal strips all along the bench, with metal baubles poking out of it, to prevent people sitting/sleeping anywhere on it. A shame really. Ridiculopathy (talk) 09:40, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Cielquiparle i see the Did You Know went live about a week ago. Thanks again for nominating it 😁 Your mural page got 6,298 views that day I see, and the Italian Quarter page 3,243. I was expecting more editors would come out of the woodwork and add random info to either page, but I guess that isn't always a guaranteed thing. Either way it was interesting. Ridiculopathy (talk) 16:26, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ridiculopathy Who knows. By now I've gotten used to the fact that there actually aren't that many of us who are inclined to add random facts to pages with citations. Hope you are well. Nice job with Manchester Pusher. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:25, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Cielquiparle 👍 A Mancunian at work mentioned it in passing to me one day, and I was surprised it didn't have a page already. Ridiculopathy (talk) 23:32, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Piri
Hi, I'm trying to get Piri to FA. I'm aware you may have tired of reading about her over the last few months given the ubiquity of her at DYK, but I'd really appreciate a look at the mother article just to see if there any sourcing problems (none plumb the depths of the Mirror or her social media, but just in case). <u style="color:#00F">Laun <u style="color:#00F">chba <u style="color:#00F">ller 09:08, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Beautiful work on Loybas Hill
I notice you're using newspapers.com citations. You know about PressPass, right? Hopefully you are not typing all those cites in by hand! <b style="font-family: monospace; color:#E35BD8"><b style="color:#029D74">jp</b>×<b style="color: #029D74">g</b>🗯️</b> 09:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Congrats on your adminship, @jpxg. Thanks for the pointer to PressPass – looks great. Is there a version for #visualeditors? (I try very hard never to leave.) Cielquiparle (talk) 12:42, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Lowrey
More GNIS rubbish. Again, I'd just strip out the GNIS entirely and start from scratch. I've been hunting up some stuff. Uncle G (talk) 09:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC) I think that you and Jengod are better placed to dig up the 1920s water rights battle, or pictures of the mines, in the newspapers and archives. I also think that you are going to enjoy the newspaper clippings for the next one: Uncle G (talk) 19:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hislop and Hughes tell us about George M. Lowrey, a school, some mines, and a ranch.
 * And knowing the Grau, Kleinsorge, and Noble Electric names from that leads to Dottie Smith's (op cit.) discussion of mining in the Elder Creek area in xyr Foothills history.
 * Which then leads to a 1946 map in a California DMG Report of the State Geologist and a 1965 report on the mining in the Californian DMG Bulletin.
 * There was a water rights battle some time in the 1920s, apparently.
 * Guinn's 1906 has a few actual facts about George Malay Lowrey, including place and date of birth, if you can stomach all of the skippable fawning.


 * @Uncle G Clearly it's not me and @Jengod who are cray cray if you're the one still stuck in Tehama County. (jk) Cielquiparle (talk) 21:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, whilst you have been trying to get those newspaper articles about the log rolling Methodist church, I've been as far afield as Colorado and England. Uncle G (talk) 01:42, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Uncle G Not finding any newspaper clippings about the Methodist church in Kirkwood getting moved. Not saying it didn't happen. (If you moved a church in the midst of a property dispute, maybe you wouldn't advertise it...?) Cielquiparle (talk) 05:06, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

I'd say that Lyonsville, California was the next piece of obvious GNIS mess rubbish dren, but suddenly today I'm in Perry County Kentucky suggesting Lotts Creek (Perry, Kentucky). Because the GNIS mess has hidden from us, as usual, that there's a whole history of the river system of Kentucky and all of the things along it that the people, ironically the placenames from whose work went into the GNIS, wrote about. Uncle G (talk) 10:15, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Uncle G A log fell on a man once in Lyonville (spelling variant of Lyonsville). Cielquiparle (talk) 18:53, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I hope that you're going to include the Champion #2 Mill at "Old Lyonsville" and the differences between "old" and "new" Lyonsville. &#9786;  One of the Champion Mills is the Diamond Match Company's mill according to Mansfield's History of Butte County.  And you'll find loads of things about Lyonsville in ISBN 9781614237297.  Which is Arcadia Publishing.  Of course.  Again. I still have Perry County on my plate, because I got pulled into Louisiana for a while. Uncle G (talk) 20:13, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Big Creek (Perry, Kentucky) still to go. &#9786; Uncle G (talk) 08:02, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Jewett
I found Solomon Jewett for you and Jengod, and anyone like Aymatth2 who wants to pitch in, if you want it. I'm still doing creeks in Kentucky. Uncle G (talk) 21:21, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming that your newspaper access will turn up the Standard Asphalt Company and the San Luis Obispo Tribune, and all the rest. Uncle G (talk) 22:24, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Uncle G You with the crumbs. This had better be good. Cielquiparle (talk) 22:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I discover these huge things from time to time. This is a corporate magnate who ran several oil companies, did sheep farming, was prominent as a Bakersfield V.I.P..  I once found one huge subject, Hanwell Park hiding (literally) underneath a road on a housing estate that someone had dumped on us: .  This one you will find in USGS reports on his oil fields and the Sunset Oil Company (another company!) decades later in 1974.  How do you want me to dump the text from Saco, California on you? Uncle G (talk) 06:51, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Let me answer my own question with a little brown box, of the sort that Drmies regularly enjoys, which will address any attribution problems if the original edit history is deleted. I'm dubious about the Merle Haggard connection simply because Merle Haggard's place was (according to Wiley Nickel's father who bought it from Haggard) next to the Rio Bravo Golf Course, which is the other side of Bakersfield from the Rio Bravo, California on the maps. So there's some clarity about Rio Bravo, and whether the Solomon ranch that stopped in the middle 20th century is the same place as Haggard home and Nickel The 2's resort and golf course that started in the middle 20th century, which again the historical newspaperers can sort out no doubt, that's needed. Uncle G (talk) 07:32, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Uncle G You could add this information directly to the article, or to its Talk page, thus benefitting all of humanity instead of just my mysterious community of 34 Talk page watchers. Cielquiparle (talk) 08:52, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It has a construction notice on it, so I didn't want to step on your toes. Uncle G (talk) 09:07, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Uncle G Removed it. It was mainly there to discourage all the kids playing whack-a-mole. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:10, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Bang! I might not have time to do more cleanup today, but I'll try to get back to it. Uncle G (talk)
