 * 1) Article Sandbox

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Please click here to leave me a new message and I will respond on your talk page.

 * My Contributions

Your Article
I have copied your article into the pretty box at the top of your talk page, just hit the sandbox link. You can work on it there without getting disturbed. It's certainly a lenghty article. Funnily enough I read one of your sources earlier when I was still trying to figure out who Captain Vielle was. He was certainly a pioneer. A couple of things just to keep you on your toes:-
 * Is the article going to be a Biography that focuses on the 1692-94 period?
 * Is this going to be entirely about the expedition with the french/native british/french background?

If you decide on one of those options you are ready to start "Wikifying" it.


 * A short paragraph boiling down the article. Its ok to repeat whole sentences, so as to give the reader they have come to the right article.


 * Seperate the different ideas into sections Background, Albany, Colonial Government, Political Tensions. With an article like this you have an endless choice.


 * Time to Wikilink, and add your sources to the sentences and paragraphs.

I hope it is of help, I will give you a hand anytime you want (as long as I am at the computer), but please make sure you are going to take a definate path. At the moment it just looks like a short period of history that seems vague about what its goal is. Good luck Mike33 04:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I am so very grateful for your assistance. And, you are right on target as the various approach to how one should do this treatment. I am not a proper writer for such things. Local historians do on occasion ask me about the legends I've researched to have local credence with proper documentation and the other kind, stories. I'll wish to include, as you suggest, add the upper Ohio River people he met in the "Sand Box". May I invite you to do the better writing on this article, please?


 * What I'll do is write a short biography about Cpt A. C. Viele (a very interesting man (but no pocahontas)). can you wait a couple of days and we can have two brand new articles out of your research and what i found on Tuesday?

Mike33 18:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou so very much. His mention on this encyclopedia as you say is quite proper. I simply wish I could write as well as you and understand the syntac of the Sand Box. Please take Liberty as you see fit. Perhaps in time, I'll learn the concepts here. Thankyou again for adopting this article and your idea.Conaughy 21:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know about composition, but, my son pointed out to me that this is simply html with mark-ups. Now maybe, copy and past of things I wrote in my more youthful days and family checking my grammer may be considered as "OK" by Wikipedians. My son attempted to explain the term "expand". I've read the "tips" and "comments" provided by Wikipedia and most days, I'm just plain "dumb". Easily with info overload on my state of being, I reminded my son that there are no less than three ways that could be meant by a term "expand." Does Wikipedia term simply mean create a new article because of too much detail in the present article and then link to a smaller form of the subject in the new article? Or, the present article's sub-section is vague and needs more clarification-- addition paragraphs? I understand, basically, when an outline or INDEX in a book becomes "clumsy". In the coarse of publication, sometimes, these are only debatable, though. And, sometimes they have, indeed, become illogical. Conaughy 17:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You're a star :-) Wikipedia has a language of it own, carefully cut and pasted from the outer realms of the universe and considered more sacred than the Talmud/Vulgate/KJV. I wouldn't worry. What you have given Wikipedia is more than enough, now that we have formulated a couple of approaches to it; I will sit down on Sunday afternoon (glass of scotch by my side) and create something that looks like anything else on Wikipedia. Then you can start the important task of editing what I have done and on the understanding that two heads are better than one your original article can announce itself to the world.

Expand in this sense is creating an article that looks like a mosaic with lots of pretty blue links :-) Mike33 22:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I figured the answer was the 3rd guess that eluded me. Conaughy 07:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I left a message on the Talk: West Virginia page. I intended no offense. Please accept my apology and do not become discouraged by my comments. There are tons of editors who can help "wikify" good content, and far fewer who can bring in the good stuff. Mark in Historic Triangle 18:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I am having some trouble reading part of the text in the sections you are working on due to font size. I am interested in this content; could it be my monitor, or do we need to increase format size a little; BTW, stay with it, please. I wish we had this kinds of Native American detail in the Virginia articles. Mark in Historic Triangle 15:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm too old and too dumb to deal with this. It's been removed. Conaughy 13:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Too much valuable content is being lost to WP by your actions today

 * I fear you responded to an older message before my apology, which I thought you accepted. I don't want you to do what you are now doing. Too much valuable content is being lost to WP by your actions today.


 * The people you have studied didn't give up so easily, and neither should you. A lot of us (like me) are neither young nor computer trained, but we have a lot to offer anyway. You are obviously anxious to only present work you feel good about. You have to let others help you polish your stuff to end up feeling that way, but WP educates many and is worth the hassle.


 * I have a suggestion for you if you will compromise: If you concentrate your work in the History of West Virginia article, the best of it (including any help needed with WP related references and presentation) can be refined by collaboration, and we can add that content to the main WV article.


 * Please, reconsider? Mark in Historic Triangle 13:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll continue to support our local state museums and the occasional university field scholar. Conaughy 23:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 08:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for reminding. I was using only three when I remembered to sign Conaughy (talk) 06:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Message to Vaoverland
I got your recent message on my talk page. Last year, I think my efforts ended up hurting Wikipedia because you were hurt or offended, which I surely did not intend. I am very glad to see you are back; we have many people who can tidy up a presentation and so forth, but far fewer who can contribute the deep facts and content as you do. I would suggest that you continue to add what you can the way you can, and you can bet that others will do that simpler work building upon your contributions. Welcome back. Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia (talk) 22:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou kindly for your assistance. I will be needing it for sure. -- No Sir, I took no offence one your part, but, 'of my own personal frustration. Again, I'm thanking you and wishing you and WIKI the best Conaughy (talk) 07:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I got your recent message and will gladly take a look. I am currently having limited time for Wikipedia due to a new job, so please be patient. Glad to see you are back at contributing. Thanks, Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia (talk) 19:20, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

It has become a great pleasure to read your contributions to WIKI and thanks for assistance. That, too, is appreciated. Conaughy (talk) 07:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

History of West Virginia
Just noticed this article while recent change patrolling. You are doing an excellent job in the article. Just a little advice. The article in its present form is 98 KB long. The standard article size is generally 32 KB. May I suggest you that you split the information into multiple article. It will help you both in article count and to maintain the articles.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 03:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou kindly. I was wondering about the size for slow modem loading reasons. May be "West Virginia Prehistory" and "West Virginia River History" might make sense? Conaughy (talk) 03:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You are right. It need to be divided into prehistory separate article.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 04:09, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou for being an excellent communicator and WIKI helper, Otolemur crassicaudatus. You are very much appreciated Conaughy (talk) 22:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Skipper, the area that is being mentioned was purchased from the Lower Cherokee in 1696. It was settle by the plantationers by 1740s through 1750s. The incident being reported happened in 1752, as I understand the authors foot notes. The following quote is from pages 52 and 53:  "... tho' the upper and middle Cherokees interested themselves greatly in our Favour; those Lower Cherokees conceiving a Contempt of our People, some of them were induced at last, to go privately into the settlements along with the Savanoes and Nottowegas, who with the Tawes, Nantouyas, and other French Indians (with a view to create a Difference between us and the Cherokees) made a Practice Year after Year of killing and carrying away through the Cherokee Nations, not only our Settlement Indians, but half breed Slaves, Mulattoes, and Mustees; and killed several white People; and even went in quest of Colonel Pawley, and Capt. Fairchild who had attended him as Agent..."<BR>(found in the book "The Appalachian Indian Frontier" c.1954 c.1967 by Wilber R. Jacobs) </UL> Skipper, the name of the settlement town of this region was called Keowee Town of the Central Carolinas. Carolina history has the Spainish coming through this region, but the French began plantationing it before the British took control of it. This was a British document, "The Edmond Atkin Report Of 1755" by Edmond Atkin, Imperial Indian Superintendent, a member of the South Carolinas Governors Council and a merchant with long experience in the Indian Trade.

Southern Ontario Archaeological Bibliographical Material
Thought you might like to look this information over: cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 02:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou, you figured right, Sir. This is the kind of "ref-source" who's theories and fact findings that's needed. This will likely help prove or disprove our old local tellings concerning the Guyandotte's arrival here. For example, the historical record from middle eighteenth century has "Kiskemoneto" village across the Ohio River in our adjoining county in the state of Ohio is a mixed vilage of the "Huron". These, here, either migrated down the Scioto Valley or the Muskingum Valley or down the Ohio River, several theories about it. Also, you good people's work might shed better light on the archaic "Brewerton" points in our Northern Panhandle, maybe. I was not aware of the London Chapter as the proper name associated and concerning the Ontario Museum. Again, may I wish you well and thankyou Conaughy (talk) 11:58, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Kanawha Name Etymology
I think you are correct about the origins of the name "Kanawha".

Here is something I found on a WVU web site:

[http://www.polsci.wvu.edu/wv/Kanawha/kanhistory.html Kanawha County was named in honor of the Great Kanawha River that runs through the county. The River was named for the Indian tribe that once lived in the area. The spelling of the Indian tribe varied at the time from Conoys to Conois to Kanawha. The latter spelling was used and has gained acceptance over time.]

I am pretty sure the tag you added is proper, and the article should be revised along the lines of the WVU web page. WVhybrid (talk) 18:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If you have a better reference than the WVU page I found, please change the article and add the reference. Or I can do it if you want.WVhybrid (talk) 00:29, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello again Conaughy, It's been a long time since we've "spoken"; I hope you are well. I agree with Uyvsdi's edit summary comment when he restored your material. There is no need to strip out whole sections containing references; I think I can guess how much time you spent putting those together. Unless someone has a specific difficulty with allowing particular references to be included, I think they should stand. If people do have a problem in particular cases, then I think you have a right to know about them, as the editor who contributed them. In my opinion, the same is true with other difficulties that editors might have with your articles in general. I think it's reasonable that you should be given specific pointers towards how an article can be improved by the editors who believe it can be improved upon. 99% of articles have "problems" (if you look hard enough); don't worry about criticism, it goes with the territory for those who dare to actually create articles and then work on them through consensus. Hang in there Conaughy. I'm going to take the liberty of restoring any block material that was removed earlier, so that other editors have the opportunity to review it in its "original context". Thank you for your efforts, cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 18:54, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I see that Uyvsdi has already reverted all of the deletions and I thank him for that. take care Deconstructhis (talk) 18:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your encouragement. I apologize for not being educated and qualified in the job skill of copy editing. Conaughy (talk) 22:17, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I had a couple of Lit Majors read over the text. An English teacher said it is not poetic art. It's only typical of papers found in that field of study. The terms are not friendly for younger school children to read who never heard archaelogists speaking nor lectures. I'm not much of a common level encyclopedia writer. Again, thank you Deconstructhis. Conaughy (talk) 18:27, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
