Speedy deletion nomination of Juan Anasco


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Juan Anasco requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Liverpool, Florida
Hello Cassini127,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Liverpool, Florida for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ueutyi (talk) 01:52, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Ueutyi, you are liable to find yourself blocked if you apply a speedy tag to another valid article.
 * Cassini127, you need to learn when it's appropriate to use "its". &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:06, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * RHaworth When I did a search yesterday, no source (except the one the author cited) showed up to suggest that this place exists. And please, nodoby makes mistakes that you need to issue me a level-3 warning? Ueutyi (talk) 16:45, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Erie, Alabama article
Hello, just reading this. Overall it looks interesting and I found a citation mentioning a person who lived there, which I've added. But I have some concerns about it:

Those are just my thoughts, wondered if you had any ideas about them. Blythwood (talk) 00:03, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * "The town was known for the fact that it had a very intelligent and gentile population." - this just sounds like opinion, which isn't right on Wikipedia. Are there any citations saying this? Even if there are, mightn't it be better to cite this statement to the person who believed it? And is that really 'gentile' (meaning people who aren't Jewish) or 'gentle'?
 * "It was said that a black man had came to the town on a steamship and had spread the virus to most likely most people that were living there" - again, sounds like folklore, this time potentially also with a dash of racism added too - did people actually say this at the time? I see it's in the citation, but it might be best to look up where this came from. Sounds like it might be one of those myths.
 * It might be nice to say what's on the site now, if anything.

A page you started (Erie, Alabama) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Erie, Alabama, Cassini127!

Wikipedia editor Damibaru just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Erie, Alabama 1820 church
Hi Cassini127, I'm sorry to say I just reverted your recent edit at Erie, Alabama about the town having a church when it was incorporated in 1820. You provide no source to support this claim and the existing sources in the article actually suggest that the town did not have a church at that time.

Your excellent Florida articles
Hi there. First, let me thank you for your contribution of so many "Sunshine State" articles. I myself have created Early Bird, Florida and Dogtown, Florida, and have spent way too much time at Haulover Park.

Because you're putting so much effort into these great articles, I have a few suggestions:
 * Add infoboxes.
 * Get your basic facts from GNIS.
 * Add county templates and categories.
 * Find your own secondary sources and avoid that ghost town book you're using.

While I'm no expert, I've created a few ghost town articles, and have contributed to thousands of articles about places in the US. Click on my "user contribution" link, then click on my "articles created" link (at the bottom of the page).

You're doing so much work, but your articles could be way better with a bit more stuff.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need a hand! Magnolia677 (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gelrad


A tag has been placed on Gelrad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of 2017 in Dominica
Hello Cassini127,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 2017 in Dominica for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Worth's Block and Florida NRHP sites
Hi, I happened to notice your nice contribution at Worth's Block article, developing it from a way-too-short stub into something with some decent context. Thanks! I added a bit more, including adding the available National Register (NRHP) registration/nomination document as a source and also expanding the NRHP infobox slightly. Registration/nomination documents are available for almost all historic sites listed on the NRHP in Florida. There are tips on getting the NRHP documents at wp:NRHPhelp, by the way.

I see you have made other edits on other kinds of Florida places. Would you by any chance be interested in developing more NRHP ones? I'd be happy to cooperate in jointly developing articles, if you would. To start perhaps by concentrating on articles in any Florida county of interest, and/or by concentrating on the ones tagged "NRIS-only" like the Worth's Block one was before your edit, say. E.g. there are currently 45 other Florida NRHPs in Sarasota County that have minimal articles that way, per this Petscan report. I'd be happy to make a list of those and use Auto-Wiki-Browser tool to put NRHP nomination document references into all of them, say, if we would then develop each of them a bit. Let me know if interested, but either way I hope you keep up your good work!

I'll try to watch here but feel free to contact me at my Talk page if I seem to have missed any reply here. cheers, -- do ncr  am  15:17, 20 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, got your message at my Talk. (FYI, if you're not aware of it, to sign a Talk page comment you can use ~ (four tilde characters) and the software will replace that by the current date&time and link to your Talk page.)  Great that you're interested in collaborating in general. :)  I added the similar NRHP document to the Orange Blossom Hotel article that I see mention of on your User page by the way.  Towards choosing anywhere to start, I notice that National Register of Historic Places listings in Manatee County, Florida is more manageable than Sarasota County.  There are just 8 articles there which are tagged "NRIS-only", e.g. John M. Beasley House is one.  I dunno, I could be willing to help develop that list-article to add descriptions to it, and to develop the individual articles.  But I would be willing to start with any other geographical area, or work on historic sites of any other given type, e.g. works by any one of Category:Architects from Florida.  Ping to User:Ebyabe, any chance you'd be interested? -- do  ncr  am  16:26, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Westminster attacks referencing
Hi, Thanks for adding references to some points on the attacks. If you add some more, can you tweak them slightly as they go on? Firstly, the field "accessdate or date=2017-03-24" should be consistent with the rest of the aritcle as "date=24 March 2017". Secondly you have the names of journalists as:


 * last=(now)|first=Nadia Khomami|last2=(earlier)|first2=Claire Phipps

This renders in the references as "(now), Nadia Khomami; (earlier), Claire Phipps", which is pointless. Please could you format them as:


 * last=Khomami|first=Nadia|last2=Phipps|first2=Claire

Thanks and all the best, The Bounder (talk) 15:44, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Westminster attacks spelling
Hi, re this, the Westminster article is written in UK English, as the subject has a close link to the UK, therefore -ised verbs and UK spellings are normal (labour, centre etc). We ordinarily try to find a 'commonly used' term when one is available (truck, rather than lorry), but basically UK usage prevails on these articles, just as we have 'Pearl Harbor', not 'Harbour' because of the US association. Pincrete (talk) 14:34, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

About adding text in the past future tense to articles that don't use it
Hi Skim127, I'd like to acknowledge that you've been making some good contributions to various articles concerning Florida history. You've also, for some reason, been insistent on using the past future tense in the content you add to articles in which there is no precedent of using that tense, and consequently your additions conflict stylistically and grammatically with the rest of those articles' content. I've mentioned this fact in some of the edit summaries I've made in correcting these somewhat jarring (in context) sudden shifts in tense. This habit of yours is creating extra work for other editors who feel obligated to correct the discrepancies, as editor Indyguy just did at the East Florida article. It would be appreciated if you would conform to the given style of articles you edit. I do appreciate all the "thanks" I've gotten from you, but I would appreciate even more your ceasing to create make-work for us. Regards, Carlstak (talk) 19:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Carlstak Thanks for complementing me about my work involving Florida history as its a subject area I'm passionate about. I really appreciate your work as well involving Florida history too Carl. I'll try not to write using the past future tense in articles when it is not appropriate. I didn't realize I was using the wrong tense during the wrong circumstances but thanks for pointing this out.
 * Sincerely, Skim127 (talk) 13:53, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

A tip for you
Howdy bud, appreciate the thanks you sent me for an edit on the British West Florida page. Most of my edits are small tweaks these days, and its nice when somebody notices. I see from your userpage that you also like writing about history and maps, as I do. That's great - but you use way too many words, to put it simply and bluntly. That's a waste of your time and effort, as well as the reader's - like walking around three sides of the block to get to your friend's house at the next corner, straight down the sidewalk from yours.

I would like to give you a little tip that will make you a much better writer and editor: go get yourself a paperback copy of a little book entitled The Elements of Style by Strunk and White. Read it over and over until the lessons sink into your head and become part of your writing habits. Avoid all electronic versions, as the scanners do not always reflect the actual text.

Factual writing should be clear, concise, direct, and specific. If you want to be a good writer, study this little book religiously, as many well-known writers have before you. Then perhaps one day you will thank me again. Textorus (talk) 04:54, 3 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for telling me this about being more concise with my writing and I'll make to do this. That's great to here you like writing about history and maps just like me. While I'm at it, I do appreciate you sending me gratitude for sending thanks on your edits. I'll also try to obtain a paperback copy of this book. Skim (talk) 16:34, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
