Question about finding sources
Hello ! This may be a bit late, but I appreciate the edits you've made to articles like the 1896 Michigan gubernatorial election, adding information from newspapers of the time. I had a question for you: How did you go about searching this information? As far as I can tell, there isn't any way to search the text of these newspapers on the Library of Congress website, as they are images. I'd love to add more information from contemporary newspapers as you have done to Michigan election articles, among others, but I am not sure how to find information efficiently. I was wondering if you had any tips for me.RoundSquare (talk) 01:28, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Barber (politician)


A tag has been placed on Matthew Barber (politician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Articles for deletion/Matthew Barber (politician). When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Talk pages
Hi there! Thanks for the new pages you're creating - it looks like some great work. When making articles, it helps to add WikiProject templates to the talk page to allow interested editors to find the page. You can also give your articles a cursory assessment to help with the backlog of unassessed articles (see the Elections WP backlog). If you need any help, just reply using  at the start of your message. Happy editing, Gazamp (talk) 16:53, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Image sizes
Hello. I noticed the images sizes in the infoboxes of the election articles you are creating are very inconsistent. Rather than setting the size as 100px, they should be 100x100px (or probably 150x150px). This ensures the images have the same height. You can also set this by simply adding  and adding the file names without links or size settings (see e.g. this change). Note that you'll still have to set the size of blank images manually as otherwise they become too wide. Cheers, Number   5  7  21:48, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

1962 United States Senate election in Kentucky
Hi Why did you revert this page again? It is customary to provide a reason for reverting an article, particualrly after it has been reviewed at NPP. We are not blind mice wandering about in empty church. Conversation and back and forth is the lifeblood of the place. If you keep reverting in this manner, I'm going to start issuing warnings, then I'm going to ask for page protetion because your currently edit warring, then an admin is going to get involved, which can lead to blocking. That is usual pattern. They was a reason the page was reverted, because are crap. Don't revert it again.  scope_creep Talk  08:16, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Kindly don't issue these braggadocio threats against me. Especially when you are in the wrong. You were wrong to delete the page 1962 United States Senate election in Kentucky and try to send it back to a redirect. The references were good,not "crap". It is you who had no reason to revert the page back to a redirect. Your moronic references to blind mice were just that: moronic. Your officious insidious references to warning me or blocking me were more nonsense. Now, don't revert the page back to a redirect again and don't insult me further with your idiocy.FieldOfWheat (talk) 22:00, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Bypassing redirects
Hello and thank you for your contributions. Just a quick note to remind you that it's usually not necessary to bypass redirects like. Most are harmless, and some are actually better than direct links to the articles. Further details: WP:NOTBROKEN. Thanks again, Certes (talk) 19:38, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Article help
Wonder if you can fix this minor goof in the police interrogation section on Lee Harvey Oswald article: the current words, “went downstairs where he encountered Baker” give the impression Oswald said the encounter took place at the second floor lunchroom but Holmes clarifies that Oswald was talking about encountering the officer at the vestibule on the first floor by the front entrance. Holmes describes two set of doors which were in the building vestibule (which were a front lobby between two set of doors). I propose the paragraph could be rewritten to reflect Holmes’ testimony something like: “Oswald said he was at the first floor vestibule by the front entrance and wanted to see what the “commotion” was when he encountered an officer.”213.107.85.98 (talk) 08:46, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

1896 Illinois gubernatorial election
Hello, FieldOfWheat,

A new account made an edit to this article that you created. I reverted it, based on other edits they have made, but I'm hoping you could review it and ensure that it was inappropriate. It was unsourced which made it more suspicious to me. Thanks for your help. Liz Read! Talk! 02:45, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Belated thanks. The sources for the Republican result (of which I added a number) give no candidate by the name of Wolf so you were right to revert it. FieldOfWheat (talk) 13:49, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Copyright problem on Walter McCreery
Content you added to the above article appears to have been copied from http://www.olympedia.org/athletes/17975, which is not released under a compatible license. Copying text directly from a source is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Content you add to Wikipedia should be written in your own words. Please let me know if you have any questions. — Diannaa (talk) 13:26, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It obviously wasn't cited from there as a reference was given to https://olympics.com/en/athletes/walter-adolph-mccreery And I have no idea what you've done that the edit is crossed through on the article history. FieldOfWheat (talk) 13:46, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Identical prose appears on both websites. This is not unusual. The part I removed starts "As a polo player,..." and ends "... Friz Hill in 1904." — Diannaa (talk) 14:11, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2022 T20 Blast into 2023 T20 Blast. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:34, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Grow up. No attribution is needed.FieldOfWheat (talk) 22:25, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. Perhaps you could explain? — Diannaa (talk) 01:19, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Because it's a completely separate article and 95% of the content is completely, observably, new content. The fact that Derbyshire will play Lancashire at Edgbaston on 20 May 2023 has nothing to do with the 2022 T20 Blast. Besides, the text of the 2022 competition is in illiterate English; I flatter myself I can do better than that.FieldOfWheat (talk) FieldOfWheat (talk) 20:54, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

2004 NatWest International moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2004 NatWest International, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 10:52, 23 March 2023 (UTC)


 * There are six references in the article, if you read it. It's just references are not there in the usual way. A reference marked '[Scorecard]', as it is, is still a reference, just not in the usual manner. Someone really needs to talk to WP:CRICKET about this. FieldOfWheat (talk) 20:42, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
