Harold F. Reichenthal
As best I can tell from the terms and conditions on the Neptune Society's website, from which you copied almost the entire obituary verbatim, the article violates copyright. As you're an experienced editor, I wanted to check to see if you kow of a reason it doesn't violate copyright. Schazjmd  (talk)  21:09, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not at all correct that I copied the essay from the Neptune site. Althugh posted today, the text of the article antedates the obituary, and I can prove that if necessary. It would be more correct to say the obituary copies the article, a draft of which I sent to Neptune well before I released it on WP. I can get written permission from Neptune if you want. deisenbe (talk) 21:13, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Please follow the instructions at Donating copyrighted materials. Schazjmd   (talk)  21:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Why is this necessary, since I didn't copy from Neptune, rather they copied from me? deisenbe (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Third opinion
Hi Deisenbe, and thank you for seeking out a third opinion. I declined your request related to Talk:United States Border Patrol, as the dispute currently involves more than two editors, and has not been discussed enough to require outside dispute resolution. I hope this doesn't discourage you from posting at 3O in the future. Firefangledfeathers 17:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

"Poet of the Confederacy"
Hi Deisenbe--can you tell me what the source was for this edit? I'm finding it hard to find evidence that verifies it. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 17:10, 15 March 2022 (UTC)


 * What is it that needs verification - that he was a poet, that he supported CSA, or is that he is a Confederate, and a poet, but not a "Confederate poet"? deisenbe (talk) 23:56, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No, none of those: it's the entire "Poet of the Confederacy" phrase, which in the literature is used as a kind of honorary albeit unofficial title. Like this--all the others in the category either have or can have verification for that title, which is more than the sum of its parts. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 16:15, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * BTW, I see why Category:African-American expatriates was deleted, but not why it was never populated. James Baldwin and Josephine Baker are the first two that come to mind. Drmies (talk) 16:19, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I see you've taken care of it. Anyway, I have nothing to contribute on that. deisenbe (talk) 17:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No, that is a different article, but I deduct from your answers that you did not have access to a source that claims Randolph was called "Poet of the Confederacy". Thank you. Drmies (talk) 20:17, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Furl That Banner: The Life of Abram J. Ryan, Poet-Priest of the South
 * Authors: Bernath, Michael T.
 * Source: Journal of Southern History. Feb 2008, Vol. 74 Issue 1, p178, 2 p. deisenbe (talk) 22:19, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks--but that doesn't verify "Poet of the Confederacy", and it's not about James Innes Randolph but about Abram Joseph Ryan. Drmies (talk) 00:55, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTOR
Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/. The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up. Thanks, Nemo 19:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I had a look at it today and without lookimg for anything in particular I stumbled on a 1913 article which is very interesting to me and that I didn't know of. Thanks. deisenbe (talk) 19:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Two articles
You seem to have created both Rebecca Buffum Spring and Rebecca Spring, which seem to be the same person; might you be able to resolve the duplication, which has been tagged for a merge for a while without objections? Klbrain (talk) 16:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Help me
Please help me with... Virginia v. John Brown has an archive-url warning in note 195 and I don't know why or how to fix it. Thank you. deisenbe (talk) 15:29, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If I had to guess, the warning was thrown because url and archive-url contained the same content, which is understandably not allowed. If you want more help, change the help me-helped back into a help me, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 15:51, 27 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I was hoping for more than a guess. Url and archive-url have different content. deisenbe (talk) 16:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Call it an educated guess; I changed the url parameter and the error went away. Primefac (talk) 16:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
