ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:03, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Great job!
Love the Leuba article! Work has begun on a large article on the University of Pittsburgh Library System User:Kirkcudbrightshire/sandbox/University of Pittsburgh Library System Resources. Your input would be fantastic. It is a total collaborative effort between a lot of librarians and other interested editors. Here is a ULS page discribing ULS in the news that Kirkcudbrightshire thought would be helpful here. Best Regards,

Template:DYKproblem
Hello there, I was going through the DYK nominations page and saw the DYKproblem message on PRR MP70. The above template has to be used on the nominator's talk page and not the DYK nomination page. The tags to be used on the review page are given under the Code column in edit notice. BTW the Pittsburgh Courier is quite informative. --Skr15081997 (talk) 12:28, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Though new DYK contributors are exempt from QPQ reviews for their first 5 nominations, its good that you did a review for the Humboldt Park riot nomination. --Skr15081997 (talk) 12:38, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Lazarus Averbuch
Firstly, thanks for creating the Lazarus Averbuch article (I've been working on a draft for a while now). I've done my own research into the case, and I think there is a problem with one of the sources: Averbuch is not buried in Michigan. I've visited his grave, it's at Ridge Lawn Cemetery in Chicago. Here is what I believe to be the correct grave. The lack of of headstone photo makes me suspicious about whether the Michigan grave is really this Averbuch's, not to mention the question of why he'd be buried in the [relative] middle of nowhere. I know of no connection to Michigan, plus the Roth and Strauss book mention him being reburied off of 40th Avenue (now Pulaski Road) in Chicago. It may boil down to a typo: "Jeremiah Averbuch" is buried in "Ridgelawn Cemetery" in Michigan, while "Jerome Averbuch" is buried in "Ridge Lawn Cemetery" in Chicago. I will fix the page (but leave the previous edit, invisible).

On a side note, I also have reason to believe that I have a copy of his and his sister's emigration records if you're interested. Might qualify as OR though... Paris1127 (talk) 22:36, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Paris1127, thank you for correcting that! I did think it was strange for him to be buried in Michigan, but I couldn't find that Chicago grave. I think the immigration records are definitely OR, but that sounds very interesting. Where did you find them? MidwestCuttlefish (talk) 17:14, 25 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I've requested a photo of the alleged grave site in Michigan (if there is one), but due to all the grief Olga and Jane Addams, Harold Ickes, and Julius Rosenwald and Co. went through to get him buried in a Jewish cemetery (which Chicago's Ridge Lawn is, while the one in MI is municipal), I think it's safe to say that was an error. I found the immigration docs on FamilySearch (my paternal great-grandparents had a similar surname to Averbuch and were Jews living in Kishinev, so there's probably some relation). An Olga Averbuch, 24, (hometown Kishineff, destination Chicago) sailed on the SS Rhein from Bremen to Baltimore, arriving in Baltimore on August 1(?), 1906. A Jeremias Averbuch, 18, (hometown Kishineff, destination Chicago) sailed on the SS Cassel from Bremen to Baltimore, arriving on September 23, 1907, less than 6 months before his death. One more thing: there's now a plaque commemorating Averbuch's death on the house where he died (current address is now 2131 N Hudson... I don't know if you're in Chicago or not). Another article suggestion: there are at least two WikiCommons images of Shippy that could potentially be useful. I also have a userspace draft (some infoboxes, pictures, etc, that may be useful). Paris1127 (talk) 08:09, 26 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I am in Chicago- I'll try to make it over there before it gets cold, to take a picture of the plaque for the page. Thanks for finding that address. That was another detail I couldn't find in my research. I'm adding a Commons image of Shippy today. Great suggestions. I'd like to take a look at your draft, but feel free to add anything you like to the page itself. It's such an interesting story, the more content the better! MidwestCuttlefish (talk) 18:07, 27 October 2017 (UTC)


 * You're most welcome. Before 1909, Chicago had two or three address systems; the current Madison baseline and State meridian dates to 1909. Lincoln Place was presumably renamed to avoid confusion with Lincoln Avenue, although how they came up with some street names boggles the mind. I don't remember exactly where I got the modern address, but I confirmed the address with a photo from Explore Chicago Collections (warning: two gruesome photos in the link) and some detective work with Google Street View and this document from the Historical Society, as well as a visit to Hudson Ave this year. I even took a photo with my phone of the house and a copy of a photo from 1908. Another recent discovery: the man who did the second autopsy has a Wikipedia page, Dr. Ludvig Hektoen. My incomplete draft is here. Paris1127 (talk) 03:47, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

 * MidwestCuttlefish, an editor found a problem with close paraphrasing in the nominated article, but unfortunately, when it was pulled from prep back in September, it wasn't added back to the nominations page. I have just added it back. Please try to address this as soon as possible. If you are no longer interested in pursuing the DYK nomination, please let me know. Many thanks, and I'm sorry that this got derailed; hopefully, it's now back on track. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:44, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Help with Ellen Roth Deutsch page
Hello! I'm helping an editor at a local Art+Feminism edit-a-thon in Ann Arbor on a page about a Chicago-based artist, Ellen Roth Deutsch. We've added as many citations as we could, but were hoping you might have access to some local publications that reference her? Would appreciate any help you might be able to contribute. Thank you! --AnitaConchita (talk) 00:28, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi I checked DePaul's resources, but didn't find anything helpful. I did find a couple online sources that, although fairly thin, should add a little bit to the page - Arc Gallery entry, World's Women Online. I also found this preview of the book about Roth Deutsch. I hope that helps! Thanks for helping with Art+Feminism :) MidwestCuttlefish (talk) 17:15, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern working with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please reply to this message or email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview. .

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 18:38, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Event coordinator
Hi, the English Wikipedia recently created a new user permission for editors involved in off-wiki outreach work, event coordinator. This new permission allows users to mark accounts for confirmed for up to 10 days, and also allows them to create accounts for events without rate limits without some of the features of the account creator right that aren't used at edit-a-thons and other events. I have added the event coordinator permission to your account and removed the account creator permission, as you appear to have been using it mainly for outreach work.This should have no noticeable impact on your ability to create accounts, and will give you the extra ability to temporarily confirm accounts if you need to. For more information, you can see the information page on the right, or you can ask me if you have any questions. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:44, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
