Lake Pickering
Hi. Regarding Lake Pickering where you have requested an Infobox; did you have any in mind? Landform Infobox, perhaps? I am unsure of which Infobox you were thinking of. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 14:41, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the follow up, actually reading the page closer the "body of water" infobox I was thinking might apply does not given the data may not exist for the historical lake that is no longer present to my understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfgang8741 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

WV cities
Hey Wolfgang8741, I have noted a few rather remote places in WV being deemed as part of a cities scope. I have been to a few of these places...WHY is that happening? Just curiousCoal town guy (talk) 19:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

If you read the WikiProject Cities scope, unincorporated communities are included in the effort to provide consistent information presentation of articles. The places that I added are mentioned as such. My rational is to provide visibility for the articles the project to raise the likelihood that person with interest in that area can locate and add details. While I agree some communities are remote (and I've been to some of them too) they would still have the metadata to be included in their articles though it may be harder to locate. If not you, then who? (talk) 19:52, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I love the spirit, but there is NO accuracy. So we publish incorrect categories and flood projects with bad/false data to get more visibility? Thats a BAD move because the data is patently false.
 * HOW does false data help? It does not, its inaccurate. I have ready the projects too, we could get a few in the LGBT community as well, but is that accurate?Coal town guy (talk) 19:55, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I like your enthusiasm to advocate for not miscatigorizing and adding extra tags, but I need more specific supporting details to go on to make sure I'm not "flooding projects" as you put it. Please point out specific articles that have been improperly categorized and supporting data that they are not unincorporated communities or otherwise in scope. To state there has been incorrect categories applies without providing the articles does not help correct the issue nor educate on where the view of scope diverge. If not you, then who? (talk) 20:07, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, I will be sincere and assume good faith. I am not sure, but I have created about 2,700+ articles on unincorporated communities in KY and WV. Most are coal towns. MOST of the nearby cities and nearby is subjective, detest, hate, dont like or view as an eye sore the mere existence of said places. SO, again in good faith I did indeed re read the cities project tag. The fault is called scope creep. If the Beatles visited a small town on a tour bus, does that mean the Beatles lived in that place? IF a coal town is near a city, do you honestly believe that city wants to have anything to do with a coal town? NO they dont. If a tour bus of strippers broke down in my burned out husk of what I call home, do you honestly believe I would have a stripper or adult wiki category project tag on that town page, NO.IF you place these category or project tags on these places, you are right, people will see those results, and they will say, this is all crap, or wrong WHY is this categorized this way? AND YOU SAY..to make them more visible.......regardless of the fact, that there is no relation at all..SO that means that your data integrity, as well as veracity is now in the shitter. AND SOME FOLKS, myself included, spend alot of time sourcing the articles and getting refs....WHY screw that up because you want people to have false positive result in a query? Now I could perform the same locution and have ANY  tag on ANY page in wikipedia, but that does not make it, correct....I hope thats OK and yes, I am a volunteer tooCoal town guy (talk) 00:43, 10 January 2018 (UTC)you
 * Congratulations on the 2,700+ articles created, everyone appreciates your hard work including myself. I typically work on other basic geographic features, lakes and rivers to this point and just started expanding to the cities project. Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding what you are attempting to communicate.  First I recognise the concern of scope creep, but that would be best addressed in the cities project. Since you are very active in creating unincorporated communities you might consider joining that project to better define the scope and how to manage unincorporated communities. The tag of WikiProject Cities isn't meant to say these are cities, but are where people live. I'm hoping that "cities" isn't leading to some misunderstanding of what the project is attempting to shape. WikiProject_Cities/U.S._municipality_notes It also appears unincorporated communities are not the top priority at this time, but I'm sure I won't be the only person tagging these pages as it is in the scope of being a place where people live and with the work. I will not revert the tag reversions, but I suggest taking up the scope issue with the WikiProject Cities members who are interested in creating and building the information about where people live and named. It seems a perfect group of likeminded article creators. Second I believe that my visibility statement was not clearly communicated. In tagging to the cities project enables those who specialize in pages where people live to locate and improve articles. This would mean all levels of incorporated and unincorporated locations. Addressing a few other points. What I'm discussing here is a level distinction of all places where people live and the dynamics of coal town vs cities as you put it shouldn't be a dynamic when talking about creating ways that the information about the places people live. While yes there are dynamics in the communities about perceptions what we are addressing here are USGS GNIS identified locations which means they are notable named places regardless of who visited or what events happened or didn't. I hope we can both agree that we would like to see these unincorporated communities remain in existence and continue to be improved. My one and only intention is to improve the quality and quantity and linking of articles on Wikipedia, WikiData, and OpenStreetMaps. My main motivation is to enable more citizens to location points nearby where they and others building upon the data from these systems to have more refined data for participants in citizen science and other local activities.If not you, then who? (talk) 03:49, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I think your idea is a very good one. No joke. It is a very good one. Perhaps another route would also be to the Appalachian project and yes mining project pages?? Just thoughts. I have tried the WV Culture anf Histiry folks and their maintenance of the WV History project, off wikipedia, but again local involvement is of the utmost importance to anyone. I did ALOT of that for Raleigh ansd McDowell Counties in WV. It has generated a local interest, BUT again, I found the roadblocks we all do. Some local people in cities have NEVER heard of these places and they live there Coal town guy (talk) 13:56, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Haphead moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Haphead, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Lake Menghough
I saw you tagged Talk:Lake Menghough as a stub. The lake does not seem to exist any more, and sources are hard to find, but what information needs to be added? Aymatth2 (talk) 15:06, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I was going through articles quite fast, I reviewed this as C as it does seem quite extensive while I'm no expert to say if the intermittent lake no longer exists. Agreed that satellite photos currently show no water at the time they were taken. I personally am not putting articles above C until I better understand the way the project judges articles more complete or better state. Thank you for contacting me, loving that others are paying attention to the lakes and assessment! Cheers. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 18:49, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * McArthur Lake (Idaho). Is this really a stub? See WP:Assessing articles. "A stub has very little meaningful content, and may be incomprehensible". Arbitrarily rating articles as "stub" without reading them can be very demoralizing to newbies. We are desperately short of newbies. I suggest you go back through the articles you have tagged and review your assessments, or just blank them.  Thanks,  Aymatth2 (talk) 19:14, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that catch, given the volume I'm reviewing I'll make a mistake from time to time, but am planning to run a report for these outlying mistakes.Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 19:19, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You have tagged two of the articles on my watchlist, and assessed both as stubs. If you do not have time to read them, do not assess them. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:44, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

IP block exempt
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:13, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the permission, I understand why the blocks are in place. I read through the documents before requesting the exemption, but I will make sure to review them for compliance. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 03:36, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Mirond Lake
If you can't be bothered to even glance at the article, do not rate it. I am ready to escalate this. Aymatth2 (talk) 22:49, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I am look at each article, thank you for bringing this misclassification to my attention. What about this warrants escalation? I am not intentionally misclassifying these articles. I'm not claiming ownership of the articles or domains, for these errors others are more than welcome to join the work I'm doing on WikiProject_Lakes and reclassify the few that were incorrectly classified. If a rating is thought to be in error I'm happy to review, and do look at these articles again. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 23:12, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, you are rating all lake articles "stub" without even looking at them. I have seen 3 out of 3 like that. You have been told repeatedly it is better not to rate than to discourage newbies by giving incorrect ratings, but you persist in ignoring that advice. This is disruptive. Please stop. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:42, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback. Telling me to stop without suggestions for how I can improve is discouraging to me to rate pages at all in the exact same way you're saying I'm discouraging newbies my misrating their articles, but what I am not seeing is how you want to work with me to improve my classifications. Additionally while you identified 3 errors (thank you for that, it helps to highlight my contribution issues), what is my error rate within the 1000's of articles that I reviewed over the past weeks? A marginal error rate in the grander picture of contributions are unavoidable because we are humans and together we can move these articles forward. Would you be willing to review my other contributions to get a larger picture of my contribution and show me a pattern of what I'm misclassifying? I think this would show that I haven't had a broad disruptioin, but unfortunately you happened to find three examples. I already stated above I plan to use the assessment tool to review for outlying classifications, if you have any suggestion of how best to review my contribution history for misclassifications instead stopping all together then we both will benefit. Let's find how we can make my process better, instead of telling me not to contribute. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 16:08, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep assigning articles to Wikiproject Lakes, which is useful. But do not give articles quality or importance assessments without first reading them and comparing them to the criteria. If you cannot be bothered to review the articles, just leave the rating/assessment fields blank. Each time (this is the third) one of your assessments shows up on my watchlist I see that you could not possibly have even glanced at the article. A newbie could have put a lot of work into researching and writing an article, and then you slap them down with an unjustified "stub" rating. That is disruptive. Do not rate articles without reading them. Aymatth2 (talk) 21:06, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

The request for a Third Opinion about this has been removed (i.e. declined) because as currently constituted this is a conduct dispute over how an editor is acting and 3O only gives opinions about article content. To obtain an opinion or file a complaint about editor conduct, speak to an administrator or, after carefully reading and complying with the directions there, file a report at ANI. Regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 13:57, 30 April 2019 (UTC) (Not watching this page)
 * Well we obviously have conflicting opinions here as I do take a chance to read articles to review them. I can outline my review process if you would like. I will admit maybe my calibration of what constitutes a stub vs start could improve and mentorship on that would be appreciated, but to claim I am not reading the articles is not accurate. I would appreciate an administrator mediate this conflict of conduct as 3 articles misclassified doesn't seem like its a huge harm to have the community help correct, while if a large pattern could be shown in my classifications to be inaccurate I would be more than happy to self regulate and not proceed in ratings. I have only received this notice of misclassification on these three articles, the remainder have not generated any reclassification request to my knowledge. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 15:42, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I have started a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Feel free to comment there. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:47, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The discussion has been archived here without any action, which is typical of minor incidents. You can continue your work on the lakes, but make sure you do not rate any more articles as stubs unless you are sure they meet the criteria for a stub. You may want to go back over your former ratings. See WP:ASSESS and WP:Assessing articles, and the basic grading scheme table below. It strikes me that you may not know that you can assign a lake to WikiProject Lakes without assessing it. It is easy. Just add:
 * on the article talk page. Other editors will come by later and fill in the missing values. This is much less likely to turn away a new editor than to assess the article as a stub ("Provides very little meaningful content") when it is actually quite substantial. Keep up the good work!

Fish River (Maine)
Thank you adding the pushpin maps to the Maine lakes articles. I do not know how to format these maps, but I think there may be an error in the locations of the pushpins for the three lakes in subject article. It appears as if all three pushpins are located at the mouth of the river, while the lakes are actually distributed along the length of the river. Can you check my observation? Thewellman (talk) 03:57, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see what you mean, you're right. I didn't check if the body of water infoboxes had a coord parameter value for each lake's infobox, seems they defaulted to the coord template for the article. I remember thinking it was weird, but didn't double check as I assumed it was due to the zoom of the map. To correct the lake locations, add the coordinates parameter per lake in each infobox to the inbox body of water coordinates parameter °N, °W - Coord Template. Good thing you flagged this as it appears that the category Category: Articles using infobox body of water without pushpin map, but I'm not seeing any three of the lakes there so this means that category isn't correctly flagging these infoboxes to be missing the parameter. I've noted this on the infobox talk page so it can be addressed to not miss this in the future. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 12:54, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

I was using rater and forgot the category class doesn't need to be explicit, but it also doesn't hurt to leave the category class since it still is technically correct and handled. I stopped once I remembered it wasn't needed while working through the WikiProject Rivers tagging. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 17:36, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Lake class
Do you think Otsego Lake (New York) is ready to be upgraded to B-Class? 420Traveler (talk) 18:40, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is at least a B-Class, I set that assessment. There are a few things that could be touched up for example: Three Mile Point is a public swimming beach the linked item is not a beach, but a cape so would it make more sense to say "Three Mile Point contains a public swimming beach". The Infobox doesn't apply alt text to the image nor map. With those addressed this might be worth trying a nomination for GA. I haven't been through that process before, but it seems to me like a good article candidate. Also sorry I missed the earlier request, was bad timing for me to respond. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 20:28, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I will fix those things. And I was thinking the same about being a good article. Im going to add a few more things then nominate it. 420Traveler (talk) 21:04, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Article tagging
Hello, I think that you have incorrectly tagged articles such as this one for Lincolnshire rather than Norfolk. I have changed this one but there appears to be several others in the same situation.

Wikiproject Rivers template "Natural history"
Hi thanks for inviting me to Wikiproject Rivers, I think the template subsection heading "Natural History" is too limiting, as this is a rather narrow focus pertaining to naming and educating on important plants and animals. I would prefer Ecology and Conservation, as Ecology is the animals/plants plus their surroundings or habitat that affects them, more than just the narrower Natural History focus on plants and animals. For example, mentioning the environs as they pertain to the plant/animal community for example, "broad adjacent floodplains" or "high spring flows from snowmelt" would be included under Ecology but not Natural History. Secondly, Conservation would include the actions being taken to improve the environment which might include pollutants and their clean-up or the environmental impact of dam removal, not just the animal/plants therein.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Start Westward Memorial
I used some of your pictures on Start Westward Memorial, which I just wrote. As you're nearby, I wonder if you might kindly be able to take pictures of the four pylons associated with the memorial, and the esplanade/ landing stage, including from across (or on) the river? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:19, 13 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Nice article, I'd be happy to take the photos requested. I've started discussing with the local historical society and plan to talk more with the local museums about considering Wikimedia integration, trying to start with just metadata level to records. I've been working on OSM, curating WikiCommons, and Wikidata prep to create some examples. I'll need to figure out how best to get the esplanade and landing since I don't have a boat and there is brush on the far bank making hard for a clear photo. I don't think the pylons should be an issue, but getting a fair weather day may take a while as we turn toward winter. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 19:36, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That sounds great, thank you. Points about access and weather noted. No rush. I've been a Wikimedian in Residence at numerous institutions, so do let me know if I can help or advise. Of course there are also local WiRs to you, at least in neighbouring states. Happy to introduce you, if you don't know who they are. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:39, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Archiving
Your talk page is very slow to load, becuase it is 1,808,107 bytes long. Please archive most of it. The simplest way is to add the wiki code:

at the top of the page; then a bot will do the rest for you. If that's not clear, let me know and I will do it for you. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:28, 13 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the reference, I've always wondered what people are using, but haven't looked into it since it is not built into the Wiki as a setting for talk pages and has not been a priority. Does the archiving bot preserve the anchor link and provide a 301 redirect to the archived conversation location? If not, the archiving process is fundamentally flawed as it breaks links. I haven't notice any performance issues loading, are you experiencing issues loading the page? I largely rely on the find feature and content table, a large page is preferable to navigating to an archive and spending time to locate past discussions. Automatic pagination would be a simple solution for talk pages and could create a permalink structure without need for a bot ie /wiki/User_talk:Wolfgang8741/42 and when x number of talk items (ie h2 headers) have been added to a page the next section be added to an increment and the user talk link would route to the highest page number thus auto archiving could be implemented and permalink available, just requires some modification of Mediawiki. If the links are preserved, I'll use the bot, but if not, I'll be looking for a solution which keeps permalinks and redirects to accomplish an archiving function. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 19:28, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The page loads OK, but starting and saving a new topic were both very slow. The archiver doesn't update links, sadly, but there is a gadget - "find-archived-section" - you can use to find archived topics. Also, the code above adds a search box - you can see that in use on my talk page. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:54, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Wikidata:Wwwyzzerdd got an update where it now will try to predict good statements to add to Wikidata from Wikipedia articles.
 * Writing SPARQL queries can be very challenging. You can find inspiration by browsing and searching in this dataset of 2,400 queries collected from Wikidata. (source)
 * The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link " Naissances du jour ". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.
 * Wikidata now has more than 100,000,000 items! Exactly which item was the 100 millionth is unknown as of writing, but there are some clues for anyone who wants to dig into it.

 * Events
 * A citation hunt program was organized for secondary school students at IIS School in Dubai as part of the 74th Republic Day celebration of India. 16 students participated, with different mother tongues and from different states of India living as expatriates in Dubai. The goal was to increase references for Wikidata statements based on research. The students were introduced to the importance of protecting India's history on the internet, and were taught how to edit Wikipedia and Wikidata. They were given a special event page on Wikidata with instructions and a list of Wikidata items to add citations to, and they searched for references in their textbooks and search engines to add to the Wikidata items.More details are given here.
 * Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour January 30, 2023: The #1Lib1Ref campaign is afoot, so we will be working on adding references to Wikidata statements. We'll have some data for you to work with, but you're welcome to bring your own. We'll be mainly working with adding webpages as sources, but if you want to get experience using books or articles as sources, we recommend bringing some to the session to use as references for Wikidata items you have identified. You are, as always, welcome to bring your own project to work on Event page

 * In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)

 * Hi there! To follow up on the response from my own user talk; I've done a one-time archive of 2 of the larger newsletter types that were older to a subpage for you, User_talk:Wolfgang8741/Newletter Archive. This is linked at the top of this page for ease of use. This was not an exhaustive exercise, but has restored standard capabilities to your talk page again. If you hate it, revert from history, but I hope it is at least a good start for you. Best regards, — xaosflux  Talk 20:58, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
