Bengals history page
Hi ,

I'm really impressed with the work you did on the article History of the Cincinnati Bengals, and that you weren't afraid to shorten the article by removing the vast amount of trivial details even though you're a newer editor. I was meaning to start trimming it myself for quite some time. Keep up the good work!

Hi Hog Farm--I'm a Professor, and my students are currently working on the Joe Beef (restaurant) page--can you chill for an hour or so before removing any of their edits?

Hey Hog Farm
You just edited Joe Beef (restaurant) and said I didn't cite it but I did it.

Disambiguation link notification for December 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Middle-earth characters, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Rohan and Moria ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_Middle-earth_characters check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_Middle-earth_characters?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Boldog
Hey, I reverted your conversion of Boldog into a disambiguation page since as far as I can see there was no discussion or consensus about essentially deleting the current article and replacing it with a disambiguation. Drastic action like that should only be taken after discussion with other editors. If there was a discussion somewhere and I simply missed it then that's my mistake, I would recommend indicating in the edit summary where that occurred (for example you could say something like "converted to a disambiguation per Articles for Deletion consensus.")

Rollback granted
Hi Hog Farm. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AHog_Farm enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:13, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Price Hill Cincinnati history page adding BLOC Ministries to content
Why was this content removed? It is important history to the last 22 years of price hills growth and prosperity. You allow Price Hill Will and other nonprofits to be know here but why did you remove this critical historical and present factual information? Wallen2020 (talk) 01:27, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * You need to find citations to prove your statements. If you don't add reliable sources to additions of content, we can't verify that the content is factual.  I'll trust you that your additions were true, but we have to have a source to back up what we add to the Wikipedia, because some people like to make stuff up and put it in there.  Find sources for your material, and please read the page about reliable sources I linked to earlier in the article.  Thanks for editing, Hog Farm (talk) 01:31, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Théoden
I have tried to rewrite the article on Theoden to align with this statement

"Works of fiction are generally considered to "come alive" for their audience. They therefore exist in a kind of perpetual present, regardless of when the fictional action is supposed to take place relative to the reader's "now". Thus, generally you should write about fiction using the historical present tense, not the past tense. (See WP:Manual of Style § Verb tense and WP:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction § Contextual presentation.) Examples:

Homer presents, Achilles rages, Andromache laments, Priam pleads. "Holden Caulfield has a certain disdain for what he sees as 'phony'." "Friends is an American sitcom that was aired on NBC."

However I am facing being reverted and thwarted by two heavy handed undying supports of Tolkien cruft who will not let the text be changed in any way. This is frustrating, and the exact process that gives us the worst possible LotR related articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:23, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * If you could have a look at the Gondor article and talk pages it might help. I have tried to improve it a little. I am still astonded that there are only 8 non-primary sources, and I am not even sure all 8 of those are no-primary. The article has gone crazy in endless detail and now there are attempts to stop any editing or reformating or cutting back the unending absurdity and length of the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:54, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I personally agree with you on the tense for the fiction; the issue stems from WikiProject Middle-earth deciding that Tolkien's writings should be made an exception to that rule, so I don't know how far we'll be able to get on that point. I'll see what I can get done on that Gondor article. Hog Farm (talk) 21:15, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Why exactly would a Wikiproject be able to decide to exempt itself from such a rule. Especially one that has left hundreds of article in-universe for over 8 years of notice and has given us unsourced articles that have lasted for 16 years.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:18, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I have absolutely no idea. The statement is here.  If I had to guess, it's because half of Wikipedia appears to have been a Tolkien fan club in 2004.  The fact that some of those Tolkien articles that have been deleted are older than articles on actual former countries is sad.  Interestingly, I found out by visiting the Wikiproject Middle-earth page that in 2005 and 2006, there was both the Middle-earth wikiproject and a separate one for the Silmarillion (which is probably why there were so many Silmarillion character articles). Hog Farm (talk) 21:25, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Apparently it also dictates that editors are required to use British English in Tolkien articles. They seem kinda restrictive over there. Hog Farm (talk) 21:27, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Now an editor is going after edits by me that stood for over a week, I think almost two weeks. This editing of several articles on Lord of the Rings chraracters was something I poured hours into one Sunday and some time into since then. For people to go through and straight up revert every edit I made is so annoying. Reverting in this manner is the key to why Wikipedia does not at times feel like a collaborative project, but a system where people maintain dominance. I have a sinking feeling that they are also going to seek to go through and reimpose the abusurd number of statements of the specific year in LotR articles. This whole thing is way too much.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:59, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * As a Tolkien fan, I like the theoretical idea of having a Wikiproject Middle-earth. However, I'm getting rather annoyed by some of the mandates, especially the ones about tense.  Honestly, I can see this winding up as a request for comment eventually.  I don't see any reason why one (albeit rather large) fictional universe should override the Wikipedia policies for writing about fiction. Hog Farm (talk) 22:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi ,

The WikiCup
As a WikiCup judge, I have removed your submission of the Smaug GAR from your submissions page at the WikiCup, because Round1 finished on 26 February. It will be eligible for Round2 when it opens on the 1st March, and will get you off to a flying start! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:35, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:


 * Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points.
 * Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare.
 * 🇺🇸 Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
 * Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
 * Pirate Flag.svg CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status.
 * The top ten contestants at the end of Round 1 all scored over 200 points; they also included 🇺🇸 L293D, 🇻🇪 Kingsif, 🇦🇶 Enwebb, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski and 🇳🇵 CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Active date for 5th New York Cavalry
Hello  In the GA review of 5th New York Cavalry, you expressed some concern about the active date for the regiment in the InfoBox. I have checked a few of the Civil War Featured Articles, and found no consistency. The 68th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment says July 22, 1861—yet the National Park Service does not mention that date. The 21st Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry uses the date the regiment departed the state: "The regiment, originally numbering slightly more than 1,000 men, departed Worcester on August 23, 1861." This date matches the date used by the National Park Service as when the regiment left camp for Baltimore. I left a note for discussion of this in the Military history Discussion tab, but received no response yet. Currently, I have changed the 5th NY active date to November 18 because that is when the regiment left NY for Baltimore. CompanyA was mustered in on August 15, 1861, and the regiment got its final name on November 15, 1861. I do not have any problems using any of those dates. Your preference? TwoScars (talk) 22:34, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
 * - My instinct would be to go with the muster date. However, my area of expertise in this conflict is in the Western Theater, where units were frequently stat units until their muster date into the Federal/Confederate service.  For instance, at the Battle of Wilson's Creek, two of the three Confederate divisions present were actually state troops - the Missouri State Guard under Sterling Price, and some Arkansas militia under N. Bart Pearce.  So I guess, just go with whatever the NPS says here. Hog Farm (talk) 00:03, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Contested deletion of article "Body non piercing jewellery"
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because there is no official resource found on Google, you can help me find another reliable source or editing it instead of deleting it. Btw, you can look at page Body piercing jewellery with no source but not deleted. AneHara (talk) 04:13, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The issue is that it seems to copy another source closely, which isn't allowed. See WP:COPYVIO, sources at least have to be paraphrased.  A Wikipedia tool known as Earwig flagged the page as being 91% similar to another online source, which isn't allowed. Hog Farm (talk) 04:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

AfD
I'm not all that experienced with deletion discussions. Well, I should say that yes, I have participated, but not like folks that do it on a regular basis. But I have to say that the purpose is to discuss the issues that people see. In other words, converse. You probably shouldn't tell someone to be aware of that bludgeoning policy for doing that. Dawnseeker2000 02:28, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * - Yeah, that was probably too far on the comment.  I should have approached it a little differently.  I think one of the other !voters was trying to get at the same thing I was by asking if you were going to comment to every single !keep voter.  I don't think you were intentionally trying to bludgeon the process, but when a single commentor responds to almost every single participant disagreeing with them, it can be viewed as bludgeoning.  I should've done a little better WP:AGF there and not thrown the bludgeon comment onto the end of my reply. Hog Farm (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter
The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
 * Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
 * Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Blason Gondor.svg Hog Farm with 801, 🇻🇪 Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, 🇺🇸 Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and 🇲🇽 MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 April 23
I had actually started to close that one, but real life got in the way and it was closed by the time I clicked edit. I disagree with how you closed it. A simple "no consensus" closure without any nuance doesn't help anyone because no one had advocated for keeping it as-is (with one editor explicitly stating it's inappropriate). Would you be willing to either revert your closure or modify it to one of the other options with an explanation why that one is best? -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:44, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * - I'll just revert it. Dealing with that one's probably above my competence grade: Out of four or five !votes, there was three or four different suggestions.  I'll let someone more experienced deal with that one. Hog Farm (talk) 21:52, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Hog Farm. Discussions like this one are tricky because it's almost impossible to close without feeling like you're supervoting (I like to call it "tie-breaking"). However, if explained well, they can be closed by capturing the essence of what most people want and I can at least shrug and say "good enough". -- Tavix ( talk ) 00:15, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * - I should probably stay away from closing RFDs and let the admins do the admin jobs from now on. Thanks for being gracious about this one. Hog Farm (talk) 01:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Aw, well it was never my intention to discourage you from closing discussions... I would hope if you came across one with an obvious non-deletion result, that you would put it out of its misery. -- Tavix ( talk ) 02:00, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I actually started looking at closing occasionally based on advice from Doug Mehus, and I was starting to question the value of that advice after his ANI fun. Also, I'm not going to ping this because I don't want to go down Doug lane with his block. Hog Farm (talk) 02:02, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Question on the bundling
Is it possible to separately nominate the redirects now, or does WP:TOOSOON apply? Ocelot Creeper ( ta lk ) 18:20, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * - You can go ahead and do it now. The discussion was closed because of WP:TRAINWRECK, not the merit of the redirects.  I'd recommend bundling the redirects as suggested by Thryduulf in the discussion, their groupings make sense. Hog Farm (talk) 18:24, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I was going to do things that way if I could. Thanks for the reply. Ocelot Creeper  ( ta lk ) 18:30, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Battle of McDowell
Vanamonde (Talk) 00:02, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Appomattox Court House National Historical Park
Thanks for start on GA1. I respect your knowledge on the American Civil War and will follow your suggestions for improvements (as your ideas on this are far better than mine). I am thinking about and working the suggestions you have given me so far on upgrading this article. If I am way off base on something, let me know and I will correct. Thanks again for your constructive help.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:50, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for your inspirations. Appomattox Court House National Historical Park came out real good. Maybe we will meet again on another GAN or perhaps a Did You Know.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:35, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You are an outstanding editor with many talents. I am thinking about doing an off line draft article and will start typing it up today. Maybe you can look it over when I am through typing it up and give me some advice on it. Hopefully my typed up article will become a DYK and GAN. Many of my articles I type up I have go through GOCE before I submit for GAN - then they can type up corrections that they find, which improves my odds of getting the GAN approved. I use the old fashion method of two-fingered typing, but it has worked for me to create 521 articles in 14 years at Wikipedia of which 97% have become Did You Know articles (500). Ten percent of those have become Good Articles. I type at about 50 words per minute. I'm from Michigan in the United States. What part of the world are you from that you do your typing from?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:01, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm from the US, too. I'm a really private person, so I never give anything much more specific than that.  I've found out with my article-writing, if I send something I write through GOCE, it needs very few corrections, but if I don't, it's barely literate.  Go figure.  Currently I'm at 19 GAs and 9 DYKs, although most of that is improving articles, rather than starting from scratch. Hog Farm (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Here is a Did You Know article I just typed up - grandfather of the typewriter.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:11, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Although I now live in northern Michigan, I previously lived in San Diego for 20 years. California is a wonderful state to live in.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:34, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll finish Old Appomattox Court House/GA1 tomorrow, when I recover some RAM after a night's sleep. What do you think of the Pratt article?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:51, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I finished anyway today Old Appomattox Court House/GA1. Can you take another look. I nominated Pratt for GAN, since I think it is ready. But then I am a little biased.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:22, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I think the Pratt article looks very good, great job creating it. I've done a few copy edits in the article, I hope I didn't change your meaning anywhere. Hog Farm (talk) 20:44, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You did excellent typing on the improvements. BTW, I have nominated McLean House (Appomattox, Virginia) for GAN. Thanks again for all your skills on improvement contributions on the articles I created and nominated for Good Article status.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:57, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * FYI, here are a couple of DYK speed records I made in the past = see captions under images.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:02, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Here are my DYK Hall of Fame articles that received over 5,000 hits on the day featured. I think the Pratt article will be one of these IF (big "if") it is put into the #1 slot with the picture. We will see what happens.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:37, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've always wanted to get a DYK hook with 5,000 views. I topped out at 4,274 with Battle of Cane Hill, but considering that most of my DYKs are obscurities in American History, I'm not surprised.  I just nominated a new one earlier today: Template:Did you know nominations/4th Missouri Infantry (Confederate). Hog Farm (talk) 04:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Idea 4 U = When you have a DYK with an interesting picture that you think may have a chance for over 5,000 views, THEN ask the Promoter if they might put it into slot #1 (like I did on the Pratt article). No gaurantee they will, but it increases your chance just by asking. It's happen to me more times than I can count. Notice the ones I got in the DYK Hall of Fame were ones with interesting pictures that attract a person's attention. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:10, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, my problem is that the subjects I write about generally don't have an interesting picture. In hindsight, on the 4th Missouri one, I could have added a picture of a flag style similar to the one the regiment carried, especially since one of the hooks was about the flag.  That's the problem with writing about obscurities - It's hard to get 5,000 views when most of the article's I've created/improved/expanded run about 10 views a day. Hog Farm (talk) 20:13, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Another Idea 4 U = With your ACW knowledge you may be able to work this idea. My guess (you probably know for sure) is that this picture of the flag could be uploaded to Commons. If so, then modify your hook with ...that the flag (pictured) .... AND then add the picture to your DYK nomination. Its a little tricky to do this step (but it can be done), so perhaps get some help from an experienced DYK editor like User:Cwmhiraeth or User:Yoninah and they will do it for you. THEN, of course add the Comment I suggest for the Promoter (which may be one of the above).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:51, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I have no idea on the licensing, looking through that site, I can't tell exactly what the copyright status is, and I don't want to upload something marginal. There's an image currently in the article of the Van Dorn-pattern flag (File:The Van Dorn Flag.svg), do you think ...the flag (design pictured) ... would work? Hog Farm (talk) 22:04, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do think that would work. To add a picture into a DYK nomination is a little tricky (but can be done). Perhaps you know how to do -> if not then ask one of the above Users to do it for you, as they BOTH know how to do that. However you modify the hook or make it an ALT2 I will approve the hook, because I believe everything is proper and correct (within policy using the file you suggest). Then hopefully it gets picked for the #1 position in the queue. My prediction is that it would receive over 5,000 views because that is a nice bright image that would be attractive. Good luck.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:34, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * If you want to do the flag image, I probably know how to add that to your DYK nomination. Just put in ALT2 and I will do the rest - even asking if the Promoter might put it in slot #1 position. I'll be back in a couple of hours. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:02, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I was offline most of today, but I've got the image added in (I'd had an image in my J. Johnston Pettigrew proposal, it got run as a non-image hook, I copied the syntax from there). How does it look?  Thanks for all your help. Hog Farm (talk) 19:20, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I asked for the #1 position. I have noticed in the past that when I have this request it takes a lot longer to get it into a DYK queue - mainly because the Promoters are trying to figure out which queue it goes into for the #1 slot. Moral of the story is to be patient. Do NOT panic if it seems like a long time before they are Promoting your DYK. It just means that they have to figure it out, IF there is a possibility for it to be placed into the #1 position with the image. In this case, time is in your favor. I have a good feeling on this one AND I think ultimately it will be placed into the #1 position and IT WILL get over 5,000 hits. Then, be sure to enter it into the DYK Hall of Fame for the applicable month (probably July or August). I have several in the Multiple Article Hook Hall of Fame.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've found out over time just to be patient with the DYK system, it'll get promoted at some point or another. I've had one (Template:Did you know nominations/Wade's Battery) moved into a prep after 1 day, I had another (Template:Did you know nominations/First Battle of Newtonia Historic District) take over a month, and I imagine that there's some that'll sit in there for ages.  The only sure-fire way to know when it'll run is to get it approved for a special holding area, I've got one that'll run on June 22.  Thanks for your help with this! Hog Farm (talk) 21:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yup, you never know how long it may take. Sometimes it takes several weeks. That's why I try to perfect my potential draft DYK as close as possible to be ready with everything needed. Then I can get a fast approval. Many approvals I get within hours of nomination. I have even set some records for fast approvals as shown under these images.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:50, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I have an interest in the ACW because I found out by doing my family genealogy my great uncle Thomas T. Caldwell was in the 7th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment and ended up at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. He was wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness and ultimately died early in his life because of complications from his wounds.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Did You Know Hall of Fame

 * Many times another DYK project editor will enter in your article into the Hall of Fame, like User:Yoninah did when one of my recent Did you know articles got over 5,000 hits. Wait a week and see what happens. If it is NOT entered in by another editor, you can enter it in yourself. I think 4th Missouri Infantry Regiment (Confederate) will be such an article that will belong into the DYK Hall of Fame when it becomes an official Did You Know (my guess is it will get 8-9,000 views +/-).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I decided to set up my own user subpage to track my DYKs User:Hog Farm/DYK views. Ironically, the hook I thought was the blandest got the most views. Hog Farm (talk) 16:03, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Also after you get 25 Did You Knows you can be put your name on this list and start collecting ribbons like I have and displaying them on your User page. Many of my ideas for potential Did You Knows came from Famous First Facts. There are only about 10,000 possibilities to picked from in the latest International edition. I took some 500 to create articles from. They are well vetted sources to use and you will find many references to support the "First" fact.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:08, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It so happens there is an online PDF for Famous First Facts if you put in Google  "Famous First Facts" "Fifth edition" PDF  (first one of Joseph Nathan Kane 210.47.10.86). Search the term "Civil War" and item 5400 is on Nelson August Moore. There is an article on Kensington Soldier's Monument, but not on Moore. He would make a good Did You Know article since he designed this FIRST monument to commemorate the ACW. Thought maybe you might be interested in this. It would become one of those Hall of Fame articles. There so happens to be a lot of information online about him, so you could write up a Did You Know article and Good Article biography on him. From this PDF is where I found over 400 articles to create as Did You Knows. Secret's out! --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:47, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Hopefully I'll get to that one in the future. I'm currently working on another draft that's about done at User:Hog Farm/Harris' Missouri Battery (1864).  I'm a student who's home for the summer, so I'm trying to get any articles written over the summer that would require books my parents have with them before I go back to school and leave the books behind. Hog Farm (talk) 20:53, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I do similar, except I write up my drafts offline. Then when I am all done I red-link the subject/person that's already in another article and drop it in as 1 edit. Surprises many editors that I can have a complete ready to go Did You Know article fully referenced in just 1 edit. The truth is that it took hundreds of little edits, BUT only shows up as one edit (since it was constructed offline). BTW, I operate 3 PCs at the same time in my editing. Thanks for reviewing my GANs.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:09, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * - I got 5,000 + on a DYK hook! I got 8787 for a #2 slot hook about the Battle of Mine Creek! Hog Farm (talk) 15:34, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Great. Try to enter that into the DYK Hall of Fame for June 2020. It's something you should probably learn how to do, then you know for sure your article gets recorded there. It probably will not be that difficult for you to do. Just open that edit section and copy another's entry into the right place (numerically) and then correct with YOUR information. You don't have to wait until another experienced DYK editor enters it. You CAN do it yourself. Good Luck. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Hog Farm, I just wanted to let you know that I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AHog_Farm 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 autopatrolled right, see Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

GA Review question
I have noticed from time to time that after a Reviewer does the GA review, they say something to the effect that it is on Hold for 7 days. How strict is the 7 days? Does that mean ALL ISSUES have to resolved before this time. What would happen if I took 10 days or 15 days to solve some complicated issue (but was able to solve the little issues)? Is the GAN rejected then? Do you know how this goes?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:29, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Most reviewers aren't very strict with that. I've kept some open for over two months before. Generally the only time it gets failed after seven days is if you don't respond to the review within seven days. Most reviewers will keep it open as long as you're actively working on the article.

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
 * 🇧🇼 The Rambling Man, with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
 * Royal standard of England (1406–1603).svg Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, 🇩🇰 MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

First Battle of Newtonia
Could you add anything which you have in hand, don't worry if it ends up a bit bloated, it is always easy to cut down. Then give it a good proof read and copy edit, then ping me and I'll give it a working over.

I assume that you want to go straight to FAC, not via ACR?

A couple of first thoughts - check your "Sources". Eg:


 * Shouldn't Foote be Foote & Gardner?
 * You sure about that ISBN? They didn't exist in 1958.

The flag image. Are you sure that flags count as two-dimensional? An open question - I don't know.
 * I've nominated the file for deletion at Commons, actually. I think it should be PD, but the source claims that special permission is needed for commercial use after further digging.  I'm posting it there out of an abundance of caution. Hog Farm Bacon 03:12, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks like it's actually likely to be kept, so I guess the licensing is correct. Hog Farm Bacon 03:44, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Gog the Mild (talk) 13:12, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It's actually gone through a MILHIST ACR. At the moment it has four supports and passed image and source reviews. Hog Farm Bacon 13:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)


 * If you don't mind me asking, where are you finding Gardner? I'm seeing no mention of Gardner in the copyright pages of my copy of Foote.  The ISBN issue was courtesy me using the wrong edition. Hog Farm Bacon 02:27, 17 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Of course I don't mind. Ask whatever you want. Occasionally you may even get a sensible answer. When I put the ISBN into WorldCat I got this. But it seems that that is just the audiobook - my mistake. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:00, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * - I've checked the sources and made a few minor edition/orig-year corrections, done a minor expansion (mostly in the September 29 section and the early part of the battle itself), and gave the article a copyedit. I'm still waiting on the ACR (WikiProject Military history/Assessment/First Battle of Newtonia) to close, it has the required supports/passes.  Whenever you have time, I'm ready for you to look at the article.  I can wait as long as needed. Hog Farm Bacon 04:48, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for linking to Bruinsburg, Mississippi. I noticed you tagged the article as needing more citations. I wrote that article a while ago, and added my inline citations at the end of each section, instead of at the end of each sentence. I'm meticulous with my sourcing however, and every word in the article was sourced. Please consider removing the tag. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 06:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
