Long Eighteenth Century
Hi Dthomsen8, in response to the removal of "long" from the phrase "long eighteenth century" at Eliza Haywood, I want to add that "the long eighteenth century" refers to a time period that stretches beyond 1700-1799 to include some other significant historical events/movements (see 18th century). In the case of Haywood and other many other writers of the period, she's often studied in the period historians refer to as the long eighteenth century.Jane Bond (talk) 15:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, I continue to learn the unexpected. Is there some way to incorporate what you have told me into this and related articles? Let me think about it, but first I will change the text to have a link to 18th century, which does have an explanation of both "long" and "short" 18th century.--DThomsen8 (talk) 16:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I wonder if adding a page for the long 18th century specifically would help. The brief discussion at 18th century does help, but the "long" has been added only relatively recently, and though it is widely used in historical and literary studies, I don't know a lot about the reasoning behind the term (other than the inclusion of certain events/movements, as I've mentioned). The page could then give more of the background and specific information. I'm not sure I'm the candidate to work on the page, but perhaps a page on the long 18th century could be requested. Jane Bond (talk) 20:39, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Google has provided books, blogs, and websites about the long 18th century. (http://long18th.wordpress.com/) There is plenty of information about it, but I have plenty of other opportunities to contribute to Wikipedia, and this would be a big distraction for me at this time. I can add some references to the 18th century article, but I will like any serious expansion of the subject, either in that article or in another article, to those more interested in the subject. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a comment on the 18th century:talk page to suggest more about the long 18th century.

Northeast Philadelphia GAR
Hi, I saw your comment on this article's talk page that real-life commitments interfere with the one-week hold. I have absolutely no problem extending the hold (there's really no need or benefit to having a rigid deadline unless nobody is doing anything to improve the article, which is clearly not the case here). Enjoy your time with the houseguests. The article can wait. GaryColemanFan (talk) 20:05, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The houseguests arrive tomorrow night from Malaysia, but today and tomorrow are still getting-ready days. Thanks for cutting us some slack.  I was adding political citations when I saw this message.--DThomsen8 (talk) 20:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I added the last of the cites -- too late, apparently, since the article's been demoted by the "powers" that be. If you want to resubmit it, I'll help, but I don't have the patience to deal with those bureaucrats, myself.  Coemgenus 15:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Re:WTP
Please upload those pictures you said you had on your Hard Drive. If you don't, I'm going to have to put them back on the list so we can get them. Thanks. --Mblumber (talk) 02:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * New Century Guild already has photos on Wikimedia Commons. Others will be uploaded tonight. I now have some good photos of the Academy of Music. --DThomsen8 (talk) 11:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Manisa page layout
Hello Thomsen.It's User:Cretanforever,I have a problem wth my keyboard.I received your message, How does the page look now? Regards. User:Cretanforever —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.186.204.12 (talk) 21:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)  Thanks. Cretanforever (talk) 16:22, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks just fine, now. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Narragansett Council
Hi. I completely forgot to respond, for which I apologize -- was busy at another article. In my view the prose in the Narragansett Council article is still a bit rough, but I did copy-edit most of the article. I'd like to finish, and have the article watched, so will get over there in a day or so. Anyway, sorry for forgetting! Truthkeeper88 (talk) 19:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Good work so far. I have removed the copyedit template, but keep up the good effort. --DThomsen8 (talk) 19:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Sizan De Asies Ronaldo
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Talk:Sizan De Asies Ronaldo, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Stochil (talk) 07:11, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Please disregard this note which was made on the Talk page by accident. The CSD should have been made on the article page, and notified the author, not you. Apologies for the inconvenience! Stochil (talk) 07:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Linkrot
I saw you had a question about combating the dreaded linkrot. It's really easy, and there are two ways to go about it.
 * First, is WebCite, which is a web service at http://www.webcite.com that will archive almost any page instantly for you. The second is by using the Internet Archive, which is described at Using the Wayback Machine.
 * The next step is to incorporate these archives into your standard {tl|cite news}} reference. Here's an example below. It's the same in every way as a normal cite template, except that it has an "archiveurl=" and "archivedate=" parameter. Just stick in the WebCite archive url or the Internet Archive url plus the date, and you're all set.

I also saw that you have an interest in PA politics. I may seek to make a "Politics and Government" sub-project of WP:Pennsylvania. Would you be interested in helping?--Blargh29 (talk) 01:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Why do you seek a sub-project? I am interested in Philadelphia and PA politics, but I don't put much effort into those topics here on WikiPedia, compared with other fields, especially history. I am a techie type, so I try to improve my WP skills, too. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for your support in this poll. A quick question if I may, where did you find out about it? I am wondering if it is getting enough visibility. Thank You! --HappyInGeneral (talk) 18:43, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I saw it in a list of polls, and the title caught my eye--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:54, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you! --HappyInGeneral (talk) 20:37, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

George Meade house
Can you verify or find a source for the story I added to the George Meade talk page about his house? --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:13, 13 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't have a source for this. The Meade article is currently only lightly cited, so until (or if) I go through and do a big verifiability sweep, it's innocuous enough as is for now. By the way, although you might feel that a picture of a plaque is copyrighted, you can certainly type in its text as a quote if you cite it. Hal Jespersen (talk) 23:07, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Peter Sinclair (1819)
I noticed that you left a tag on this article regarding some vandalism on this article. It seemed as if the only vandalism was the result of a one recent edit by an anonymous user. There is an "undo" function that can be used to revert a specific edit when viewing the article history which seemed to put the article back to normal. Thank you for pointing out the problem. --Big_iron (talk) 21:15, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. The vandalism was mixed in with the valid text, so I should have done an undo rather than leaving a message. I stumble on these situations from the "Random article" choice, but I learn a lot about various subjects, and sometimes about the technical Wiki things to know, too. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:39, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

GA reassessment of Northeast Philadelphia
I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process after the original re-assessor had to drop out. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Northeast Philadelphia/GA1. I have placed the article on hold for a further seven days whilst these are fixed. Thanks.

Hello Dthomsen8, would it be OK, if I ask you to give your evaluation on this issue? Thank you in advance. --HappyInGeneral (talk) 20:01, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Tamara Bach. Our verifiability policy requires that all content be cited to a reliable source. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Exactly right, I did create Tamara Bach without any references, but I intend add references very soon. Please note that the German Wikipedia is my main source, and that does have references. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Tamara Bach
I have nominated Tamara Bach, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Tamara Bach. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Lara 03:19, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Tamara Bach
I've added a few more details about the literary prizes, with inline citations, but I've run out of time to work on this tonight. If you're feeling inspired, you could work out how to include some of the information about/from the reviews in FAZ that I mentioned on the AFD page. Scog (talk) 23:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I would expect your reply on the AFD page and those additions will be sufficient to keep the article from being deleted. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Northeast GA
I suppose we could resubmit it for a to GA approval. Coemgenus 13:46, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I did tag the statements that needed cites with citation needed tags, and marked the dead link. However when I looked again after seven days little had been done so the article was de-listed.  Please submit it at WP:GAN if you feel it is up to scratch. Or you could request a WP:Peer Review. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * So, are there any statements remaining that need cites? Is the dead link still there? I will look again, but if you can be specific, that would help.--DThomsen8 (talk) 15:09, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I will repeat, as you seem to have problems understanding what I wrote previously: I did tag the statements that needed cites with citation needed tags, and marked the dead link. If the tags are no longer there then it is possible that the concerns have been addressed.  The GA criteria are to be found at WP:GACR.  If you feel the article satisfies those then you may nominate it at WP:GAN, instructions on that page.  I delisted the article during the GA sweeps as it did not meet the criteria at that time and no-one addressed the concerns within seven days.  That is the end of my involvement. Thank you. Jezhotwells (talk) 09:12, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * There are no citation needed tags, and no dead link marked. Sorry for my lack of understanding. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:24, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

OpenType
Hi. Twice in the past three days you've used AWB to clean up OpenType. While your work is much appreciated, on both occasions the amendments changed  to   despite the fact that this is an OpenType script tag and so is required to be lowercase, and despite my having added a comment in the adjacent wikitext after reverting the first change:. I'm not familiar with AWB but it may be that you can adjust it so that you can check the text that it is amending to prevent inappropriate changes such as these. Apologies if you were already checking the text and the amendments slipped through the net! Thanks though for your other work. — Richardguk (talk) 15:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * It is too easy to use AWB without understanding the consequences, and I must admit that I am still on the learning curve. In this particular case, I have added (sic) in the paragraph, which causes AWB to issue a warning that this exists in the text, and to use extra caution. Thank you for calling it to my attention. I learned something from it.--DThomsen8 (talk) 20:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the positive response – it felt a bit Groundhog Day for a moment so I'm glad you took my feedback in good spirit! I've done a search on AWB and sic and found buried in the reference manual that AWB is set to pick up on the Sic and Typo templates, and that these templates can also be used to split words as a double safeguard against spellchecking; I'll update OpenType accordingly. So we both learnt something! — Richardguk (talk) 21:33, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

New Alphabet
Hi, you've used AWB twice in New Alphabet, changing Architype to Archetype. However the typeface collection is with an 'i' (probably word play of Archive and Archetype). Edit: Oh, I guess I can put it in sic (as I read in the above conversation) so it'll stay correct... Typehigh (talk) 00:32, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Good idea, sorry I did not understand AWB and what it does. However, the sic template is a good thing to learn. --DThomsen8 (talk) 01:56, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for joining. I almost was afraid that this wouldn't work. Thanks again, and feel free to do whatever you want to promote the week. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I responded to what you said on the talk page. It seems as if you never realized that you could make the template change categories by changing the template itself. I have explained it there, but feel free if you are confused about anything. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, I'll get right on it. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll get right to it. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:43, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I know that for this to succeed, we need to reach out to people. The problem is, I don't know who to reach out to, so if you know people, that would be a great help. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:13, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Municipal authorities stubs
Glad to see you're on board! I do have some concern that someone would tag all these for speedy or make a huge AFD, so we need to make sure we get some consensus that these are solidly notable. If we don't hear anything from the VP in the next few days, I think we can proceed.


 * As far as bots go, it looks like we can have the bot do pretty much whatever we like, so a talkpage would be a good idea. Also, if you're tagging for the Philadelphia WikiProject, I think you could as for a bot to tag everything within a certain category, like Category:Philadelphia.--Blargh29 (talk) 15:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Can we get the bot written? --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)


 * When I go down the list of Philadelphia articles with no assessment or quality rating, I look at each talk page as I go along, often I look at the article itself, and I provide a class= and importance= based on what I learn. A few times I delete the Philadelphia template entirely, deciding that it is not really relevant to Philadelphia at all. For example, a New Hope rock band is not relevant to Philadelphia unless they have some other connection than being from New Hope, PA. Also, I add section names to the talk pages, and sometimes I add a comment myself. ITW, this is a disciplined way to survey a great many Philadelphia articles and make improvements as I go along.  The template is only a part of the effort.  I recently did the same thing for the Typography project. --DThomsen8 (talk) 18:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Municipal authorities stubs
I have moved my municipal authorities proposal to Village pump (proposals) to establish notability.--Blargh29 (talk) 23:05, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * So it looks like we're going to have to stick to lists by county. That's fine with me. The next step is to get a good template for the county tables. I suggest something more than just a list. Maybe a table with Municipal Authority/function/City/External link entries. I don't really know how to construct those, so maybe you can look around? Maybe some info at Meta or

Yeah, I like that. You like it too? If so, I can write a quick script to mine the data from my .xls and we can get these rolling in the next day or 2.--Blargh29 (talk) 17:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Municipal authorities example
List of Philadelphia County municipal authorities

Here is an expanded table, with a new column (Acronym), links, and more lines of data, so I can try the sort on Function. The Function in the government database is filled with bureaucratic jargon, and in some cases seems to be wrong. The External link should have "http://" as a prefix on the URL. Please create sandbox tables for Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties. The Pittsburgh plus suburbs is a good test of the city column. I suspect that we might want to translate the Function data to less bureaucratic terms in some instances. --DThomsen8 (talk) 18:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, that looks good. One thing: very few MAs are known by acronyms, so I don't think that having the acronyms in a separate column is a good idea. Also, when linked, those acronyms just go to DAB pages and aren't really helpful. BUt, for stuff that is known primarily by its acronym, like SEPTA, we can list it as Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). How's that sound? I'll start on the sandbox later tonight or the weekend.--Blargh29 (talk) 21:26, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

HEY! All done! Thanks for working with me on all that. That went pretty smoothly. So, now, how do you want to work on getting this process expanded to other states? I'll be honest--I'm not all that interested in working on that personally, but I can help you expand the coordination elsewhere. I'd like to write a short blurb for the Wikipedia Signpost about what we just did,so maybe other people in other states can be inspired. I can also write a step-by-step guide to manipulating the data within Excel to get the tables. --Blargh29 (talk) 06:20, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

next step
OK, so I have all 1700+ Municipal authorities on a page here: User:Blargh29/Lists. There is some cleanup that needs to be done, and I have listed that at the talk page. It's kind of tedious, so naybe you can help work on it?--Blargh29 (talk) 07:12, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Cleanup is done. I answered some of your questions on User talk:Blargh29/Lists. It is time to spin these out into the separate articles. You able to do that?--Blargh29 (talk) 07:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Alexander Hamilton Article
Dthomsen8.

Yes, the Alexander Hamilton article is really still in need of significant improvements, most of which are being/will be actively prevented by one of its most common editors. This was very frustrating for me, and one of the reasons I essentially left Wikipedia. If you're at all skeptical about this claim, do your homework about Hamilton, and try to make make just one significant, but factually-incontestable and thoroughly-cited change to the article, and you will likely become acquainted with the active impediment to this article's improvement. I do hope you either choose to take it on, or pass it on to someone who might be willing to do so. Thanks, AdRem (talk) 05:35, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for explaining that. Wikipedia has ways of dealing with such editors, but it is on a case-by-case basis. Hamilton was a critical person in getting the First Bank of the United States adopted in Washington's administration. Perhaps I will give making a change a try. --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:18, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Categorising Talk Pages
Hi, Just an FYI, in general, we dont tend to categorise talk pages, especially if the non talk page is categorised

Some Talk page templates do that, for extra stuff

— Ree dy  16:12, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Probably I did not make myself clear. If we are adding 67 list articles about Pennsylvania Municipal authorities, then the talk page should have on the talk page for each of those articles, so editors interested in improving Pennsylvania articles can find them. If the article is about Philadelphia authorities, then  should also be on the talk page, and likewise for Pittsburgh.  This idea is not to put a  on a talk page. I think this is a valid distinction.--DThomsen8 (talk) 16:28, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * You are doing it again to the AWB pages. Please be mindful of what is being undertaken. billinghurst (talk) 23:53, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Precisely. You're doing it in non Article NS. I've no problem whatsoever with doing it for articles etc. — Ree dy  12:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Adams County Industrial Development Authority
I just created a stub for Adams County Industrial Development Authority and Sports Complex Special Services District. I know you left a few questions and suggestions on my talk page, but at this point, I'm done working actively on getting lists of municipal authorities. I really only have an interest in Pennsylvania municipal authorities. At this point, I will just continue to progressively write stubs for the larger municipal authorities.--Blargh29 (talk) 00:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * See Wikipedia Signpost/2009-11-23/News and notes for a summary of what we did that will probably appear in the Wikipedia Signpost. Make any changed you feel are necessary.--Blargh29 (talk) 04:55, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Copyright procedures
The usual place to report copyright problems is Copyright problems; however that isn't always the eaisest for pages where only a section is slightly difficult. Posting at the well-watched Wikipedia Talk:Copyrights can be useful. 75.41.110.200 (talk) 16:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
Hi Dthomsen8 - just wanted to mention this edit of yours. Thought you should know that disambiguation pages should not be marked as orphans or stubs, as these tags refer to actual articles. In fact, DAB pages should be orphaned - with the exception of disambiguation hatnotes, links to such pages should be fixed to refer to the intended target. Regards,  AJ Cham  17:21, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

AWB and gimp article
Hi, I reverted your edits using AWB on GIMP and have manually redone the spelling correction. Some of the changes it made break list formatting, your efforts are appreciated, so thankyou for taking the time to look after the article. --Gnepets (talk) 01:26, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Sanskrit metre
Sorry to be responding so late, but I haven't been a WP regular for a long time. I've added some less than cheerful remarks to the Talk page, and I apologize again for not being more helpful. As far as I can make out, the disaster started with a very ignorant presumption that Vedic and Classical meters belonged together as a single topic. It sort of snowballed from there. Right now, fixing the mishmash would be a substantial job. Sadly I have neither the time nor the inclination. Thanks for the heads up and your concern, though. Maybe you can prevent further entropic decay on that page. rudra (talk) 05:47, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing wrong with the dab page, as far as I can see.:-) (Some further remarks on my talk page, in case you're interested.)  Cheers! rudra (talk) 18:57, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of PMMA List
A tag has been placed on PMMA List requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Orphaned non-free image File:Public Record leader.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Public Record leader.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 05:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The image is no longer an orphan, it is now in use in The Public Record (newspaper) article. --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:50, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
