Samuel Fraunces[edit]
Thank you for the contributions to the Samuel Fraunces article. As far as I can suss out, there are 3 images:
- 1. The original oil painting owned by Fraunces Tavern (illustrating the page).
- 2. An amateurish copy of that painting, also at Fraunces Tavern and viewable on Flickr.
- 3. The sketch that was published circa 1900.
The NYPL photo (from the 1920s) seems to be of the original painting, as does the other (cropped) photo. 173.59.124.196 (talk) 21:39, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Gilder's is not the only written description of a Fraunces portrait held by the museum that is in conflict with the portrait presented here in wikipedia as Fraunces. This image is not offered by the Fraunces Tavern Museum it is from another website and the Fraunces Tavern Museum does not offer an image of Fraunces on their website. This image on wikipedia comes from another website as does the description. The portraits are all different in subtle ways including the B&W and several cropped versions. The progression over time of the changes to this image of Fraunces are astounding. Leave the links in here all anyone has to do is look and question.GramereC 12:28, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- I left the below message on Talk:Samuel Fraunces.
- GramereC / 71.58.75.28, Please stop your disruptive editing.
- 1. No one is interested in your fantasies about the portraits. That's why I moved them to the bottom. Note, I did not erase them.
- 2. You have repeatedly blanked the "Ethnic Identity" section. People ARE interested in what Fraunces Tavern Museum has to say about Fraunces's ethnic identity. The statement from the museum's Website is a summary of its findings based on decades of examining the issue.
- 3. You have repeatedly blanked the "Presidential Household" section. People ARE interested in Fraunces's service in George Washington's presidential households.
- 4. You have repeatedly blanked the "See Also" section. This links to information about Fraunces and the enslaved Africans who worked under him.
- 5. You have been cautioned about disruptive editing elsewhere.[1] You have made more than 100 edits on the Samuel Fraunces article in the past 3 weeks. And your intolerance of the opinions/contributions of others, your introduction of fantasies presented as facts, and your imperious blanking of whole sections of information is the DEFINITION of disruptive editing.
- 6. I am sending copies of this message to the BOT who cautioned you, and those who reverted your blanking of others' work.
- Someone else (above) urged you to go back to your own Website, where you can write whatever you want. I concur. 173.59.124.196 (talk) 00:05, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

You are clearly edit warring on Samuel Fraunces. I don't care who of you is 'right' or what reasons you have, but you now take it to the talkpage, even if you disagree with the current version.
You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 31 hours as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated. --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:44, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Please allow us to do this article with sources and not BLOCK QUOTES. It will take about 7 days for all the family to get together. I am posting as we argue out things.GramereC 19:55, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of William Costin[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on William Costin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.theusgenweb.org/dcgenweb/links/notable_african_american.shtml. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
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 "Click here to 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. Jd027 (talk) 18:38, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Nomination of William Costin for deletion[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article William Costin is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Costin until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Jd027 (talk) 18:54, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?
If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.
All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian
The questionnaire[edit]
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.
quick and easy exit poll , estimated time required: 4 minutes
|
|---|
|
|
Detailed Instructions: you are welcome to answer these questions via usertalk (easiest), or via email (for a modicum of privacy).
how to submit your answers , estimated time required: 2 minutes
|
|---|
Processing of responses will be performed in batches of ten, prior to publication in the Signpost. GamerPro64 will be processing the email-based answers, and will strive to maintain the privacy of your answers (as well as your email address and the associated IP address typically found in the email-headers), though of course as a volunteer effort, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will have a system free from computer virii, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will resist hypothetical bribes offered by the KGB/NSA/MI6 to reveal your secrets, and we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will make no mistakes. If you choose to answer on-wiki, your answers will be visible to other Wikipedians. If you choose to answer via email, your answers will be sent unencrypted over the internet, and we will do our best to protect your privacy, but unencrypted email is inherently an improper mechanism for doing so. Sorry! :-) |
We do promise to try hard, not to make any mistakes, in the processing and presentation of your answers. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact column-editor GamerPro64, copy-editor 75.108.94.227, or copy-editor Ryk72. Thanks for reading, and thanks for helping Wikipedia.

Please help me with...adding a picture to Samuel Fraunces the file name is File:Fraunces Tavern from Harpers.jpg
I get a message saying I am not allwed to add?
GramereC 14:12, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- No file with that name exists on either Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons - there's also no record of it being deleted. All of the existing images of the tavern are listed at Category:Fraunces_Tavern on Commons, so you may see the appropriate picture there under a different name. Yunshui 雲水 14:43, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
Ok I just changed my sign in to global that may have been it. I will upload the file again and try.GramereC 14:48, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring at Samuel Fraunces[edit]
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hello GramereC. I have received your email but it is unclear why you wrote. You don't seem to be appealing your block. As an admin it is not my job to get into the content issues. Since there are no confidential matters at stake, any discussion should happen on the open wiki and it does not need to be handled by email. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
