Speedy deletion nomination of Paratek pharmaceuticals

Hello Dwkaminski,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Paratek pharmaceuticals for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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. —swpb^T 13:18, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Evan Evans

I've been noticing several of your articles, especially on churches and like them very much. It looks like you've noticed a few of my photos too. I've also noticed you including material on Evan Evans, who appears to be the same Evan Evans who preached at St. David's Episcopal Church (Radnor, Pennsylvania). Actually I started looking for more on this guy and googled "Evan Evans Pennsylvania" - you wouldn't believe how many Evan Evanses there were in PA about 1700! But I did find a long paragraph on him in EARLY WELSH SETTLERS OF PENNSYLVANIA (1945).

If you'd like to discuss this further please email me through the link on my user page.

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

I've added a more modern book source-I think you might want to check it out as some of its dates don't match yours e.g. rebuilding in 1850 as opposed to 1859. Anyway, clearly notable so I've marked as patrolled and tagged the talk page.

Deletion discussion about Barbara Bohannan-Sheppard

Hello, Dwkaminski,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Barbara Bohannan-Sheppard should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barbara Bohannan-Sheppard .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:32, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

• page creators are permitted to iVote. (The nomination counts as a 'delete vote.) But these are discussions, not vote counts. The best argument for keeping any article is expanding the article with solid information and sourcing. Cheers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:19, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Please see James B. Longacre

The article is today's featured article on the main page. Longacre was born on a farm in Delaware County and was chief engraver for the National Mint. I'd have thought there might be more Delco info on him in sources you're familiar with, but in a 10 minute search I could only find out that his first American ancestor was a Swede who arrived in 1648. If you are interested in this and can find very good info, I'll suggest that you add a sentence or two to the article. I say "very good info" only because authors who write featured articles can sometimes be pretty prickly about changes made to them.

List of Rural Cemeteries in the United States moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of Rural Cemeteries in the United States, 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 "Draft:" 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.

Bibliography changes on Charles Ellet Jr Comment

Greetings Dwkaminski! Many thanks for your work on Wikipedia. I noticed in the bibliography section on the [Charles Ellet Jr.] article you changed the An Essay on the Laws of Trade (Richmond: P. D. Bernard, 1839) item from Hathi trust to Google Books. Can you share with me what you thought was better about Google versus Hathi. The reason why I am asking is the I used some Google books for articles back in the 2013-2015 time period for Wiki articles. Sometime after that, Google dropped the books from their books.google.com site, and I think they moved them over Hathi, so my links went dead. As they say, "it's just a thought."

Riverside Cemetery, Waterbury, CT

Hi Dwkaminski,

Thank you for your ongoing edits of the Riverside Cemetery page. I'm new to editing and am not always sure of the appropriateness of the items I add. You recently deleted a flyer that included a tour map of the cemetery. If I edited the pdf to a single page with just the map of the cemetery and 20 prominent burials therein, would that be appropriate to post? I think a map of the cemetery property would be valuable. Would it be acceptable as a gallery item?

Kiwi Camara

Hello! Sarah here, attempting to update and improve the Kiwi Camara article on behalf of DISCO. I've disclosed my conflict of interest and shared a link to a draft article at Talk:Kiwi Camara, but so far I have not received any feedback from other editors even after posting requests for help at WikiProject Biography, WikiProject Tambayan Philippines, and the Teahouse. I noticed you're an active editor who recently updated the List of Harvard University people, so perhaps you might be able to help with improving this biography? I've outlined problems with the current article, which is mostly a Background section with two Controversy sections related to the same incident. I've also worked to draft a more well-rounded biography which relies on news organizations over student newspapers. Do you have a moment to take a look at the request? Thanks for your consideration, Sarah DISCO (talk) 14:11, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to chime in and say the same. Your recent edits to Joseph Hemphill look great, but there are so many, it's hard to gauge what you are doing and where because you don't have edit summaries.

Bellevue Cemetery

Hi there - just a quick question: would you be opposed to a move that would change the title to Bellevue Cemetery (Danville, Kentucky), without the "KY" abbreviation? I think this is more common in article titles (ex. Memorial Stadium (Alice, Texas), Memorial Stadium (Mesquite, Texas), etc.) than the state's abbreviation. I wanted to check with you rather than just moving it myself just to make sure you were alright with the change. Thanks! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:31, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Dwkaminski: How goes it. I reviewed your article this afternoon. I had reverted as the references were sufficient to establish notability. One of the references was non-RS. I had a look to determine if there was more available, but couldn't see much. Being a father to a notable individual, doesn't always make them notable themselves. If you can find aother references, then revert it. Often there is other archival information that is not immediately apparent, that may show up in a couple of months. 15:38, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Encyclopedia – spelling

Hi. Just in case it comes up again, please note that whereas encyclopedia is spelt thus, at least in AmE, you've used the spelling encylopedia a few times recently. I know that you will know which is right, but I guess what may be troubling you causing the problem is cutting & pasting from a template that includes the wrong spelling. No lecture is intended here, and I do hope that this helps. Cheers, DBaK (talk) 23:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Your name is still coming up when I check this spelling: you are still doing it. Here is an example and there have been others recently. Could you please sort this out, which I suspect means revising some sort of template or C&P text which contains the error? Thanks and all good wishes DBaK (talk) 23:03, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church and Mount Zion Cemeter

Thank you for cleaning up this article. I did notice the removal of the ref for listing local families Blacks, Rulons, and VanLeers. Is it possible it was missed by mistake? If you use control find when searching those names, they appear in the reference. With that said, not sure if it's worth a mention or not in the article. The reference, which is an application for National historical places, has a lot of depth about the property underground and then lists these families as financially supporting the railroad.

Anthony Van Leer

@Dwkaminski I noticed my Anthony additions were reverted. Question for a more seasoned editor, should family members of family members not on wiki not be added? For example I preemptively added Anthony as a notable alumni before realizing his article might not have enough references. My thought process was he should be merged into his father Carlos's article then. Which then lead to edit his existing links to the soon to be deleted article.

Thank you for all your help and I enjoy reading your other articles. Joplats (talk) 18:37, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

@Joplats:I have no problem with Anthony Wayne Van Leer being added to Carlos Clark Van Leer page - just the listing of Anthony Wayne Van Leer on all the other pages with the link going to Carlos Clark Van Leer.

Hey man im josh, @Bearcat:, @Enos733: - Stefan Roots has been elected mayor of Chester and sworn in as of January 3, 2024. I have re-created the page. Please take a look and let me know if you still have concerns. Dwkaminski (talk) 17:41, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Mayors of small towns still don't become "inherently" notable the moment they're sworn into office. The notability of a mayor requires content about the significance of his mayoralty — specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth — which means that essentially, a mayor's notability cannot be properly quantified the day he's first sworn into office, and is essentially impossible to demonstrate until after he's already been in office for several months.
A big city mayor might get a temporary presumption of notability when he's first sworn in, on the grounds that the type of content that's necessary to properly establish his notability is certain to emerge in the near future — but the mayor of a smaller city does not get an automatic pass the moment he's sworn in, because it's not nearly as certain that the type of content needed to properly establish his notability will ever actually exist. A small-city mayor doesn't automatically get the same treatment as a big-city mayor just because they're both mayors — a big-city mayor's article will always become improvable over time to the required standard, while a small-city mayor's article might not ever be improvable at all. So a mayor of Philly or Pittsburgh who didn't already have an article for other reasons anyway would get an article right away once they were elected mayor — but a mayor of a small city with a population of just 32K, like Chester, has to wait until he's been in office for several months so that he's had an impact for us to write about and assess.

Thank you for being my fellow editor on Henry S. Evans! I make a ton of relatively obscure KY, VA, MD, DC, and now PA politician pages, and it's been fun someone out there helping me buff it up! I've been slowing going through Chester County lately, so look forward to intersecting again in the future. Cheers! --Engineerchange (talk) 19:38, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Dwkaminski. Thank you for your work on Stefan Roots. Bastun, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Hi Dwkaminski. Nice work on this article! I would recommend inclusion in appropriate/relevant Wikiprojects (per other mayors of the city as a starting point), and adding a 'photo needed' template. The current first reference gives Roots' age as 62, which could be included in the infobox now as 62/63.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Bastun}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Dwkaminski!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
