Proposed deletion of C.W. Pruitt, II
Hello, Haguealan. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, C.W. Pruitt, II, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want C.W. Pruitt, II to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Potential conflict of interest
Haguealan - I see that you have limited your editing to The Broad Ripple Gazette and subjects closely related to the Gazette. I assume that you are affiliated in some way with this publication. This, in and of itself, does not mean you are violating Wikipedia policy, but you need to be careful that you don't.  Please review a couple of articles regarding those guidelines, Conflict of interest, Best practices for editors with close associations and Autobiography

While you are here, please look around, and make other contributions to topics where you have knowledge or interest. --rogerd (talk) 14:21, 23 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Not sure if this is where I reply.
 * Thanks for your message. After the Broad Ripple Gazette has supplied history and news to Indianapolis for 10 years, I thought it was important to record the story of the local, all-volunteer paper to Wikipedia.  There is no one that knows the whole story like I do, so I am recording it piece by piece as I have time.  I am not sure how else it would get done accurately.  Any thoughts?
 * thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haguealan (talk • contribs) 09:37, July 23, 2014‎


 * This is fine as to where to reply. I think you are doing fine to start with.  I just wanted to point out some guidelines to follow.  Also, it is important to establish notability of articles and connect them with other articles.  Keep up the good work!  --rogerd (talk) 16:34, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

C.W. Pruitt, II
It would be helpful if you included references to C.W. Pruitt, II from sources other than the BR Gazette. In an objective biographical article, you should probably list his birthplace, DOB and other information about his life besides what he does for your publication. I tried to do a little Google searching and found a Cicero Washington Pruitt (1857–1946), his wife Anna Seward Pruitt (1862–1948) and his daughter Ida Pruitt (1888 – 1985), all notable people who have well researched articles. Are these people related to the subject of your article? If so, I think you would be able to add some useful information to your article. --rogerd (talk) 20:16, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't think he is related. I will check with him. He is an artist and does not have internet or a computer. Maybe someone else has written about him, but he is a local artist/poet and since the BR Gazette is the only local paper, there may not be anything else. I wll add those other items you list too. -Alan

A Taste of Honey
Please help me with...

Haguealan (talk) 17:04, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

I own the album that I referenced on the Taste of Honey page. I am not sure how to verify that this song exists.
 * The song "A Waste of Money" is also mentioned on the Allan Sherman page, but with no adequate reference. Is the album you own the original release for the song or a "Best of" collection? According to dmdb.org the first occurrence was on "Allan Sherman - Live!!! (Hoping You Are the Same)" [Warner Brothers W/WS 1649] in 1966, but I don't think that's considered a reliable source. In any case, what you would need to find to add the mention to A Taste of Honey is something like a review, probably not available online, that makes the connection between Sherman's parody and the original. The existence of the song, or the existence of the album, is not sufficient by itself to make the connection – even though it seems pretty obvious, to do so yourself would be original research.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 21:56, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
