Art+Feminism Edit-A-Thon Invitation
Hey there! If you're still around the Columbus area, I'd like to invite you to attend Wikipedia Connection's Art+Feminism Edit-A-Thon at the Ohio State University on Saturday, March 5, from 1 - 5 PM. You may be aware of Art+Feminism, but if not, it's a global event that brings together diverse communities to create and improve Wikipedia articles related to women in the arts. The purpose of this event is to help combat the lack of coverage women and art subjects receive due to less than 10% of Wikipedia editors being women. Anyone with an interest is welcome to join, and we're expecting a good mix of students, faculty, and veteran Wikipedians. If you have any questions or are interested, just let me know. In addition to the signup page above, we have an RSVP form here. Thanks! ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 15:36, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Quad Cities into Quad Cities (Amtrak train). 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. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 21:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arcadia (Amtrak station), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Station. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Harlots (TV series)
Hello, FunksBrother. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Harlots (TV series), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Autopatrolled granted
Hi FunksBrother, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AFunksBrother added] the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing!  Schwede 66  18:47, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Regarding your removal it would have been useful to have some substantiation. --Itu (talk) 21:23, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Re: J.M. Stuart Station
Feel free to improve the map. I believe it's just generated by one of the infobox parameters using the location? Have a look into it, I'm not too sure myself. --Lewis Cawte (Talk) 21:21, 23 October 2017 (UTC)


 * @Lewis Cawte, I was able to solve it myself. Just add:  to any infobox. FunksBrother (talk) 19:11, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

1998 NFC Championship Game
I'm working on the TFA blurb. Would it be more accurate to say the Vikings "became the first team ever with an NFL regular season record of 15–1 that did not go on to win the Super Bowl", or "... record of 15–1 or better ...", or "... with only one loss ..."? - Dank (push to talk) 23:39, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * @ Make it clear to the reader. Go with the first quote. This citation confirms it. Keep in mind that 1984 San Francisco 49ers won the Super Bowl with a regular season record of 15-1 and so did the 1985 Chicago Bears. Meanwhile the more recent 2015 Carolina Panthers went 15-1 only to lose in the Super Bowl. FunksBrother (talk) 23:50, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks much. - Dank (push to talk) 23:56, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Picway Power Plant
Gatoclass (talk) 00:01, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Picway Power Plant coordinates
The coordinates you put in the Picway Power Plant article were highly precise, but inaccurate in that they missed the power plant. Where did you obtain them? I am trying to get a handle on the proliferation of inaccurate but strangely precise coordinates on Wikipedia. Abductive (reasoning) 03:02, 14 May 2018 (UTC)


 * @ is using Google Maps for the coordinates bad? If so, is there a Wikipedia guideline for adding coordinates for articles? FunksBrother (talk) 03:12, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * How do you obtain the coords? Copying-and-pasting, but from where? Right-clicking doesn't work for me.
 * Anyways, WP:OGC is the guideline. I personally use Wikimapia because one can toggle between Google's map, satellite, terrain views and Bing's maps too. Plus Wikimapia gives the coordinates the reticle is pointed at as you move around. Abductive  (reasoning) 03:18, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * FunksBrother and Abductive, I always use mapper.acme.com. It has all the Google Maps layers, and it also has USGS quads.  Nyttend (talk) 17:50, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok.  Abductive  (reasoning) 20:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * PS, I should have said "and it has a big green box at bottom right that displays the coordinates of the center of the map". Finding the coordinates for any location is trivial, once you're at the location.  Nyttend (talk) 23:06, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Killen Station
No, sorry, no other photos. Aside from National Register images, I don't keep any wiki-photos on my computer long-term, so any others I took would be in Commons:Category:Monroe Township, Adams County, Ohio if there were any, but there aren't. Nyttend (talk) 17:49, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Coordinates of Conesville Power Plant
The coordinates you put in the Conesville Power Plant article were inaccurate in that they missed the power plant. Please check the coordinates you put in Wikipedia on an internet mapping service that has an aerial view. Inaccurate coordinates have an unfortunate tendency to proliferate, and it is incumbent on Wikipedia editors to check that they are not introducing mistakes onto Wikipedia. Abductive (reasoning) 04:53, 10 July 2018 (UTC)


 * @ I will take your advice and start using mapper.acme.com in the future. I just used the site to search the coordinates for Northern Neck Regional Jail. The coordinates that mapper.acme.com gave me as its output is what I inputted into the article. FunksBrother (talk) 17:55, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Edit-War regarding Larry Householder
I can't help but notice you're reverting cited information without checking the citations provided. Would you like to discuss this?2602:306:311F:13B0:F933:CAF9:C8AD:ED23 (talk) 01:44, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Something that I see with your edits is that they're not being cited. I know you're trying to contribute in good faith, but your edits fall under WP:EXCESSDETAIL and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. FunksBrother (talk) 01:50, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The press conference this information comes from is cited. Please, explain how to make the reference number show up without duplicating the same citation as a new number.2602:306:311F:13B0:F933:CAF9:C8AD:ED23 (talk) 01:53, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey I left a welcoming message on your talk page so you can learn more about how to use Wikipedia. To use the same citation, insert  in the future. The press conference is a great citation to use, but adding too much detail that has already been explained before drowns the reader. Remember, this is an encyclopedia, not a news source. FunksBrother (talk) 02:00, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Inserting the text  does not produce the intended result. Please provide further detail on using this tag.   does not provide a sufficiently useful demonstration.2602:306:311F:13B0:F933:CAF9:C8AD:ED23 (talk) 02:05, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Dang!
I follow U.S. politics quite closely and I somehow completely missed this. Quite a year we're living in when the arrest of a house speaker on RICO charges barely makes the news! Marquardtika (talk) 01:35, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It might have not made news down in Texas, but it was big news here in the State of Ohio. The house speaker has been removed of their speakership.FunksBrother (talk) 02:22, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
