Buildings - again
Greg, I've just edited the article Carmel Weavers Studio to remove the wording that this building "is significant according to the criteria of the California Register" with the only source being the twenty-one-year-old application to be put on that register. You cannot use a primary source seeking a particular status to then claim in wikipedia's voice that it meets the criteria for that status. That is entirely circular. Do you see the problem? And if so, would you be willing to go back through every other article where you have done this and remove it? Melcous (talk) 21:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC) Thank you for your comments. I think you are trying to do what you think is best for Wikipedia. We can still say the building is signifcant according to criteria published by the California Register of Historical Resources and supported by DPR 523 form for the Carmel Weavers Studio filled out by the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea. We can collaborate this with the fact the city has placed the building on both the Downtown Conservation District Historic Property Survey updated on February 2019. In addition to this, there are several books (secondary resources) that document the time, place, and history of the building that help support that the fact that the building is notable as a key landmark of the city.
 * The city provides a framework for identifying historic resources and determining their relative significance and maintains an Inventory of Historic Resources that includes all properties that have been identified as historically significant to date: Carmel Inventory of Historic Resources Database. More info is here.
 * Please try to understand that we are talking about a building that is historic by its documented history, and is notable as a result of its historic, social, and architectural importance, which includes significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources. The article follows the guidelines set out by WP:NBUILDING. Greg Henderson (talk) 23:08, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, you cannot say the building is signifcant according to criteria published by the California Register of Historical Resources unless that register has accepted it as such. Otherwise all you can say is that somebody else has nominated it or claimed that it is acceptable according to that criteria. Again I ask you, why do you think nominations from over twenty years ago that do not appear to have been accepted by the body nominated to are notable? Melcous (talk) 23:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If the California Resiger has published the criteria and the city uses it judge if a building is historic, then it is significant based on this criteria. It does not mater if it has been accepted at the state level because the city has already accepted it at the city level using this criteria. Therefore it is notable in eyes of the City. The property remains on the list of historic buildings, which was updated as recently as 2019. The building is also part of a smaller group of buildings that are historic within the Carmel Historic Commerical Property District. Not sure you why you are so conerned about the article as long as it follows the WP:NBUILDING guidelines. Greg Henderson (talk) 23:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So the absolute most you would be able to say in wikipedia's voice is that the city believes it meets the state's criteria for historical significance. That is not the same thing as what you have written. The reason I am concerned about the article is precisely because it does not follow the WP:NBUILDING guidelines - as noted on the talk page, there is no evidence it is on a national register (or in this case even on a state register) so there is no presumption of notability under WP:GEOFEAT, therefore there must be WP:SIGCOV. And there is not: the city's nomination (which also, is not for this specific building but for it as part of a larger group) is not a secondary source. Melcous (talk) 04:39, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Above you have noted it remains on a list of historic buildings from 2019. That is the city's list, right? If that was the criteria for notability, I could literally create 30,000+ articles on buildings in my tiny corner of the world. But I don't, and I shouldn't, because this is a global encyclopedia and the community has decided the standards of what makes something significant for its purposes, and they are higher than what is locally significant. That you cannot understand this and continue to create a huge amount of articles about your tiny corner of the world, to be honest, feels somewhat blinkered and even arrogant from a global perspective. Melcous (talk) 04:45, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not talking about the city list but the 2019 document with a smaller selection of buildings in the downtown area that are considered more notable. The document is listed here. I think the part you may not understand is that the city has spent a lot of time to document downtown buildings that follow the state criteria for historical buildings. The city has strict building and modifications codes to protect there historical value. The majority of these buildings were built in the 1910s through the 1920s and have historical and architectural value, as well as built by notable architects and builders. Greg Henderson (talk) 05:23, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That document is also from the city so it changes nothing. Lots of cities spend a lot of time documenting local history and heritage and seeking to preserve it - that's a noble enterprise. But we are talking about what makes an individual building notable for inclusion in a gloal encyclopedia with a stand alone article, using the criteria editors here have worked and agreed on. Are you seriously suggesting that every single building with local historical significance recognised by its city in the world would meet that criteria? Or do you just think there is something particularly special about your city above all others? Either way, the point is moot because WP:GEOFEAT very specifically says national registers confer a presumption of notability, not state or local. WP:SIGCOV becomes the only relevant test, and your understanding of independent, secondary sources continues to exhibit WP:IDHT that tendencies. Melcous (talk) 05:42, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not talking about WP:GEOFEAT. The building meets WP:NBUILDING guidelines with WP:SIGCOV via the secondary sources cited in the article. Perhaps your definition of SIGCOV is different than others. Based on the guidelines I have read, and other agree with me, that SIGCOV doesn't have to be volumes of text but coverage like you see in Kent Seavey's book Carmel, A History in Architecture. Greg Henderson (talk) 05:56, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Could you please point me precisely to where other editors have agreed that Seavey's book provides WP:SIGCOV? And if not, where you think "coverage like that" has been agreed by other editors to meet WP:SIGCOV? Melcous (talk) 08:36, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * WP:GNG's "significant coverage" does not require a volume of words. It can also mean the quality of the words e.g. coverage which demonstrates notability. It can be a single sentence in length: "First softball league in the Western United States." is eight words of significance towards notability. For the record, this issue has been debated forever at the notability guideline page and Wikipedia talk:Notability. Greg Henderson (talk) 16:12, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The article follows the WP:NBUILDING guidelines because of its historic and architectural importance outlined by the three city documents, with WP:SIGCOV in-depth coverage cited in the article from reliable, third-party sources. Greg Henderson (talk) 04:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Citing volumerous PDFs
Hello, When you're citing massively lengthy PDF files that is a compilation of various documents, it is important to cite the range of pages so others checking work don't have to comb through the whole thing. Especially if the file is not text searchable. Graywalls (talk) 02:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd also add it is better not to include search results in the link (especially when the search terms are for a different location/person as has often occurred with your editing) - page numbers are the standard way of allowing other editors to verify content. Melcous (talk) 02:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Good points! Not sure if the document has page numbers, but wil remove search results. Greg Henderson (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If the document doesn't show page in-document, "pdf page 111" and such is a reasonable use of hidden comments in addition to marking it visibly in page as "111". Hidden comments are though, not for storing things that fail contents guidelines. Graywalls (talk) 03:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Can you explain…
…why I had to remove this material which is grossly incompatible with an encyclopedia? It was clearly written by you since it was present in this version in which you were the only editor of the page up to that point. This passage is marginally better, only because it lacks second-person voice, but it's still deeply problematic. Do you have any sort of conflict of interest with the Marcel Sedletzky article? Be completely honest. (Also pinging who did major cleanups on this article). Left guide (talk) 01:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Coincidentally, the Sedletsky house was listed as for sale on the market when this was written, as seen in these real estate listings:, . Netherzone (talk) 15:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The info is coming from the book "Stories of Old Carmel". It is a chapter on Sedletzky. I realize now it is not a reliable source because it was self published by the Carmel Residents Association. I have no COI with Sedletzky. If I were to write this today, I would (a) not use this source, (b) would not phrase the house in that way. Greg Henderson (talk) 16:10, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you have any COI's with the real estate industry, agents, agencies or the owner of the home? The reason for the question, in addition to the coincidental timing of the article creation, is that the wording is extremely promotional, the type one finds specifically in real estate sales listings. The other reason is that it was written during the time you were doing undisclosed paid editing. I'm not accusing you of anything, just trying to get my head wrapped around the complexity of these matters. Netherzone (talk) 16:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It is sometimes hard to respond to text messages and not talk to the person asking questions in person. You seem like a really nice guy. However, to answer your question, no I have no COI with the real estate industry, agents, agencies or the owner of the home. I was simply taking chapters from the book (not realizing it was unpublished material) and writing articles to describe the people and places of Carmel. My only COI is living in the area and taking pride in the history. I don't think of this as a walled garden, but rather sharing information that I feel would be important in an encylopedia. For example, several of my articles have gotten a high page viewer count, e.g. The Clinton Walker House, The Butterfly House, etc. Lately, I feel I can provide a better service by writing articles that are on the National Registery of historic homes/buildings. These are pretty straight forward and can avoid a lot of notability issues. Greg Henderson (talk) 16:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, thank you for clarifying that, Greg. It is a good idea to focus on NRHP National Register of Historic Places. I enjoy working in that area as well. Netherzone (talk) 17:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Please stop spamming government documents
Literally every single person (aside from illegal immigrants) who has ever set foot in the United States has records like these, so they are ordinary primary sources that do absolutely nothing to demonstrate WP:DUE. To flesh out sections of prose cited to them is not encyclopedic, nor is it standard practice for biographical articles on Wikipedia. Your walled garden is the only place I have seen this occur on a mass scale, and your recent contributions show precisely why. Please stop. Left guide (talk) 06:17, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you are talking about? U.S Passport to show date of birth or travel info? Is not allowed? Greg Henderson (talk) 06:56, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If you wish to corroborate and confirm a date of birth or death in the infobox, then that is fine, but writing out detailed sections that are a who's who of family members and marriages is undue, this is not a genealogy website. And to write about family travel activities is even more undue. Left guide (talk) 07:03, 5 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Sometimes you can't find any secondary source so primary sources have to suffice. I do not understand the problem with citing a primary source for birth/death dates, especially if it is coming from the U.S. Government. Greg Henderson (talk) 15:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Again (feels like I'm repeating my previous comment), it's fine when citing birth or death dates in the infobox. The problem lies when you write a full section of article prose cited exclusively to such documents like so. Left guide (talk) 16:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Got it. What you are saying you prefer that text is supportive with secondary sources. I agree, that is ideal, but where does it say you can not build a sentence, especially "early life" with primary sources, as long as the body of the text is supportive by secondary sources? For 19th century people, that are notable, sometimes there is just no confirming information in the secondary source for a "full name" or "full date-of-birth". To omit this information seems worse than to have it supportive by a primary source. Greg Henderson (talk) 16:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Follow-up
, in this comment you stated I realize now it is not a reliable source because it was self published by the Carmel Residents Association. As a follow-up, are you willing to go through the article and remove all of its citations and attached material? Left guide (talk) 16:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, certainly. My goal is to go through the article and remove all of its citations and attached material. Hopefully, I can find new citations that support this material. Thank you for your concern. Greg Henderson (talk) 16:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Great, thank you for cooperating. Left guide (talk) 17:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

LA Momboisse blog sourced contents
The several articles that I cleaned out/tagged was done because they contained LA Momboisse's blog as ELs or sources, not because they were your article, however it does appear that you were responsible for the insertion of that unreliable source in all the instances. RSP red blogspot should have brought a pop up warning about the use of this poor quality source. Did you not get the pop up? If you did, why did you proceed forward with it? Graywalls (talk) 04:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I have popup blocked. Thanks for cleaning this up. I know better now not to use blogs. Greg Henderson (talk) 15:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

 * My goal is to clean up several articles each day.

I hope this is OK with you. Greg Henderson (talk) 17:36, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * When you aesthetically polish problem contents by simply removing the unreliable source and unjustifiably removing maintenance templates while leaving poorly sourced contents in place, it conceals the problem without fixing it.

, you've previously mentioned you "tend to work fast". In this case, you quickly crunched through and stripped out the blog. The reason I did not do it myself is because I don't know which part of the cited text was blog based and it's time consuming. First of all, if the blog was NOT used as a source to what it was attached to, why did you cite this in the first place? If you were tacking a blog on the tail of a sentence when it was not being used to support anything strengthen the case of spamming. If it was actually supporting something, you need to go through every source that is used for that particular part and isolate what's attributed to the blog. Are you just using a script to do this? I seriously doubt you have reviewed all five articles and sources in a span of five mintues and I believe you just stripped away the blogspot.com link. It's not realistic that you've reviewed all four sources in the edit here, given that you removed blogspot from five articles in five minutes or so. The other option would have to be strip the entire sentence, along with all the sources, then reintroduce only after you take the time to thoroughly review the sourcing. Graywalls (talk) 23:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Nor does the pair of examples of WP:CITEKILL., this is not a criticism of your acceptance, though I push those back (my personal preference), but of the editor's deployment of four citations for one fact. A fact they assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. I do not believe for a moment that  is criticising you either. There is a great deal of history with this editor that they are being helped with. 🇺🇦  Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:05, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Bradv, Thanks for checking. The 1871 and 1873 dates are reflected in the citation for the Election history for the state of California. However, I will add a 2nd citation that includes this information as well. Good catch! Greg Henderson (talk) 23:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Greg, the issue, to my way of thinking, is not so much the dates 1871 and the 1873 dates; the issue is the puffery..."dedication to public service extended to the legislative realm", "effective performance". Article should be written in as neutral of a tone as possible, even if it seem boring, mundane or dry to you. If I were to write the sentence I would say: "In 1871 he was elected to the California State Assembly, and was reelected in 1873." It has the same meaning without all the embellishments that make it sound so puffed up and fluffy. Filler is not needed in the encyclopedia, it's not a human interest venue or a place to promote how great someone is. The encyclopedia is a venue to globally share information and knowledge in the form of verifiable facts sourced to reliable sources that are appropriate for an encyclopedia project, stated in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. Netherzone (talk) 00:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't know why he floods so many articles with this much weasel. Perhaps it's done through AI. He did admit to using AI to "spell check" but that's rather odd, because you don't need to use anything non-traditional to do spell check and he wasn't upfront about extent to which or the kind of AI he used. Helen MacGowan Cooke which he created as recent as June 2023 is full of puffery and weasel words. Graywalls (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, I got it. I will not use puffery words to express my facts. I will keep a neutral tone. Thanks for the advice. Greg Henderson (talk) 01:07, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Greg, just to be clear, articles should contain the facts as reported in secondary reliable sources, not my facts or your facts or any other individual editors facts.
 * Netherzone (talk) 02:50, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, this makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Greg Henderson (talk) 03:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Timtrent, I will be more careful about adding four citations for one fact. Greg Henderson (talk) 23:27, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not just about four. Once verified t is verified. Think carefully about whether it requires more than a single citation, please. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Buildings
Greg, as you have noted above, you appear to be focusing your energy on creating articles about places on the National Register of Historic Places for California. And you appear to be proceeding on the assumption that being on this register in and of itself makes a building notable for wikipedia's purposes. I do not believe this is necessarily the case. Please see WP:NBUILDING which says buildings may be notable due to their historic or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability. In others words, I believe you are continuing to create too many articles without clearly demonstrating notability. Please slow down and consider only creating an article if you can meet this high standard of significant coverage in independent sources. Melcous (talk) 05:52, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Let me give you one example to start with: you created 27–29 Fountain Alley which on the face of it might look like a well referenced article. It currently has 9 sources. However, when I look closely at those sources, what I find is this:


 * 1) entry on the register
 * 2) entry on a list
 * 3) entry on a list
 * 4) newspaper clipping saying the place will be built
 * 5) one sentence in a book
 * 6) list of tenant in the building in a directory of places to eat
 * 7) news article with a short mention of the redevelopment of area, but no mention of this specific building
 * 8) primary document about redevelopment project
 * 9) entry on a list
 * In other words, none of these sources provide significant coverage about this building. I'm guessing this is not the only article with these issues. Melcous (talk) 05:52, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The 1st citation for 27–29 Fountain Alley includes a PDF that is a multi page description from the NPGallery Digital Asset Management System. This source was well written by a third party and reliable representative of the Department of Parks and Recreation. This documentation is a reliable source and it fully documents the text in the article. I am sorry that it was not clear in the citation as you need to click on a link within the document. I've updated the URL for citation #3 so it is going directly to the document. Please review again here or in the article. Greg Henderson (talk) 06:19, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That is the primary document about the building and its entry on the register. It is not an independent (or third party) source that provides significant coverage - that would be someone else (e.g. a historian or architect) writing about the building and its significance in some other place (e.g. book, journal article etc). Melcous (talk) 06:40, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If you look at this citation: it is the standard citation used by the National Register Of Historic Places, which is an independent third-party source. Greg Henderson (talk) 07:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * What I found troubling is making the basis for notability based on raw text of application form and citation that is extensive based on the application forms themselves. Graywalls (talk) 07:29, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * There are other citations in the article. This one is the official one provided by the National Parks and Recreation Department. Greg Henderson (talk) 07:34, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Greg, who are you suggesting is the independent third-party here? It troubles me that you still don't seem to understand the difference between primary and secondary sources. As for the other citations, as I have listed above, none of them provide significant coverage. I'm fairly confident that if this article is proposed for AfD, it will not pass this test unless far better sourcing can be found. But the bigger issue is all the other articles that you have and are creating using the same misguided understanding of what makes something notable.Melcous (talk) 09:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Here is my analysis:
 * Primary source This is the historical study that was done for the building. Rather long and rather extensive.
 * Secondary source Clicking on the NRHP number in the Infobox will bring up the secondary source information presented by the National Register of Historic Places, which is part of Wikipedia's Portal:National Register of Historic Places. This includes listings on the state-county-city levels as well.
 * So, I have tried to include all the sources that will pass WP:GNG, and do not see any reason to place a Notability tag on the Roma Bakery article.
 * Greg Henderson (talk) 16:24, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Now I'm even more confused. The links you have included here Greg as "primary source" and "secondary source" are exactly the same. Clicking on the link in the article's infobox takes me to the exact same source. Again, how on earth is this an independent third party writing about the subject of the article? Melcous (talk) 21:26, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, but the URL were not correct.
 * The correct one for the secondary source is here, which sould take you to the actual National Park Service website, that lists the digital assets and secondary source information, e.g. National Register Information System ID:  82002265; Criteria used to demonstrate criteria to be registered in to NRHP. This is all coming from NRHP, which is the secondary source that is "third-party" and "independent sources". Greg Henderson (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * And yet again, that is the exact same link. Greg I'm sorry to say but all these back and forths with you are exhausting, and your frequent errors like this do not help. Melcous (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not ture.
 * The primary source is https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/2d4bc3c7-4a12-420f-a99d-47c039a18e3b here and the
 * secondary source is https://npgallery.nps.gov/AssetDetail/NRIS/82002265 here.
 * Greg Henderson (talk) 22:19, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, those are two different links (above were all the same - you can check). Howeever, the first link is to the pdf nomination form, the second link is to a page on which that pdf nomination form appears as well as the metadata. They are not independent of one another. Melcous (talk) 22:30, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If you click on the link in the infobox (#82002265) or on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Santa Clara County, California it takes to what the National Park Service provides as the secondary source. On this page the NPS provides all the documentation that they used in their peer-review and acceptance criteria. By using this information we can write an article and demonstrate WP:NBUILDING guidelines. Greg Henderson (talk) 22:44, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * AnAfD discussion worth looking at. The building articles you created that could qualify as notable should have people aggrandizing contents and cruft/trivia purged . Like "this house was one of the first houses in the village, along with Jane, John, Adam and Eve's houses." Graywalls (talk) 10:23, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, for this discussion one fhe result was to keep‎. Below are some takeaways:
 * Clicking on the NRHP number in the infobox, will bring up the historical study that was done for the building. Long and rather extensive.
 * The reason buildings on the NRHP are considered notable is that the National Park Service requires that information in order to list a property, and their standards are higher than WP:GNG.
 * Greg Henderson (talk) 16:10, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I meant to say that aggrandizing contents about people and trivia like those I mentioned above should not be present so NRHP is not used as an anchor to make a coat rack article to serve as a peg to hang aggrandizing boastful contents about various common people or your extended, family members or the building's current tenant. Graywalls (talk) 18:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree that we/I should not post "aggrandizing boastful contents". That is not my intention at all. It is to report what is stated in the NRHP documentation. Where I fail at that, it is not intention and is fair game to remove. Thanks for your comments. Greg Henderson (talk) 18:14, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I do not agree with your comment that buildings on the NRHP are considered notable is that the National Park Service requires that information in order to list a property, and their standards are higher than WP:GNG. We don't use an outside organisation's guidelines for notability here, we use Wikpiedia's, regardless of your personal opinion on which one has "higher standards". I would also note from searching the table here that this property is clearly marked as of local significance only, not of state, national or international significance. That to me is actually a lower standard than wikipedia uses. Melcous (talk) 21:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * National Register of Historic Places listings in Santa Clara County, California is intended to be a complete list of the properties and districts for Santa Clara County, California, United States. There are 119 properties and districts listed. The majority already have Wikipedia pages written for them. They are notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance. Significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources have established thier notability. If this is not the case a tag should be placed on the article to give editors a chance to improve it. Greg Henderson (talk) 22:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing/copyvios on Joseph W. Post House
Greg, your article, Joseph W. Post House that you created last month, has a lot of close paraphrasing/copyvio material as can be seen here: - Earwigs/Turnitin determines a 68.6% similarity with the NRHP Nomination Form. NRHP forms are copyrighted, see Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems/Archive 19, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Resources. Netherzone (talk) 05:18, 24 February 2024 (UTC) And your article El Castillo de Monterey created last week shows up as 80.8% suspected copyvio:.

 * I've deleted them both. Even copied from covernment sources that are copyright free, there are attribution/plagiarism concerns as well as WP:COI issues with this editor who has been WP:PBLOCKed from article space by community consensus. No objection to you asking about any additional articles copied form those sources. The Wordsmith Talk to me 07:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * He has re-created it in draftspace with a lot of the same content @Netherzone @The Wordsmith. I have declined Draft:Joseph W. Post House because I'm unconvinced the issues have been remedied in such a short window and the text is still too similar from my POV. Star   Mississippi  17:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * It should be single digits, if even that. You're welcome to re-submit it and I won't action it or Castillo. Portions are still far too close to the source. Given your tenure, you should not need to be told this. Star   Mississippi  18:07, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Greg, you have been cautioned numerous times to stop using unreliable, self-published sources like personal family history blogs & websites and geneaologies, yet the new draft contains this as a source: which is Billy Post's personal family history blog; and this as a source: which is the Plaskett family's personal blog by Mable Plaskett. What gives? Netherzone (talk) 18:28, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I keep an offline copy of my articles. Greg Henderson (talk) 18:36, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, the Billy Post was in the only copy I had and forgot to remove it. Thanks for the reminder. Greg Henderson (talk) 18:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The Plaskett Family blog plaskett.family should not be used either - it is written solely through the lens of Mabel Plaskett and her grandson Bill Alderson. It stands to reason that this is not an acceptable source for use in an encyclopedia. Netherzone (talk) 18:52, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Please do not canvass reviewers
Hi Greg, please do not canvass reviewers to your drafts like you did here at Draft talk:Miller-Melone Ranch. Your drafts are no more of a priority than the other 2k waiting for review. I am not sure you get that you a skating on thin ice with your editing privileges. S0091 (talk) 18:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)


 * How are Greg's draft consistently getting reviewed so quickly ahead of a lot of other things on queue? Graywalls (talk) 20:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * There is no "queue" so to speak. meaning things are not done any order. It's a pool of drafts and reviewer's pick from that pool what they want to review so some drafts sit for weeks/months while others are reviewed more quickly. The quick ones are usually easy declines or easy accepts. S0091 (talk) 20:09, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Why the rush?

 * I appreciate your feedback and concerns regarding the quality of my edits. For me quaility is important.
 * Regarding your critique of what you perceive as "sloppy, hasty, poor quality edits," I acknowledge the recent incident involving the use of a blog as a source for the Cornish College of the Arts article. If I had been aware that it was a blog, I would not have utilized it. Additionally, I've had discussions with Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, a community-elected Wikimedia Foundation Trustee, about the use of FamilySearch.org as a citation in her article Miriam O'Leary Collins. She said, "Don't use familysearch.org if it doesn't include a link to a WP:RS for what you want to cite. When it does include it, e.g., census page, death certificate, etc. that is a reliable source."
 * I strive to adhere to these guidelines diligently and remove unreliable sources whenever necessary. While your approach is characterized by the motto "I write stuff and I erase stuff on Wikipedia," I believe that constructive feedback and encouragement can be more beneficial in fostering improvement.
 * My recent article Draft:Fairglen Additions tries to follow the Wikipedia rules of a "good article." Your feedback is important to me, and I am committed to improving my editing practices. Greg Henderson (talk) 15:15, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Moving other people's comments from article talk pages
Greg, you selectively deleted my comment from an article talk page, then copied it over here and signed it with my name here. Per WP:TPO do not do this. Graywalls (talk) 15:39, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * See topic above: Why the rush?. I did not mean to do anything wrong. Just wanted to move the discussion to my talk page instead of having you discuss this topic on the edit request page. Greg Henderson (talk) 15:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

More incorrect edit requests
Greg, I just undid three edit request fulfillments by a newbie editor who apparently did not read the talk page discussions, nor check the requested text/content against what the sources say and the respective page numbers. This is the second time this has happened with a new editor fulfilling requests. The articles are Reardon Building, Seven Arts Shop and La Rambla Building. If you have made an error on any of your edit requests you should probably close out those requests and start new ones so this does not keep happening, or at least make it more clear what the new request is with the correct information. Thank you. Netherzone (talk) 00:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
