Political career of John C. Breckinridge by User:Acdixon

I have come across a WP:FOUR article where the bulk of the creation was in userspace. What is the start date of the article in your opinion? I was thinking that we should do a history merge and use the very start of the development. However, a case could be made for the move date to article space.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:08, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I personally would use the date that the article was moved to mainspace (February 12), because that's what made it eligible for a DYK. It was just a userspace draft prior to then. (It looks like Black Kite (talk · contribs) already did a history merge, by the way.) Little Mountain 5 22:57, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I have moved the discussion to Wikipedia_talk:Four_Award#Starting_point_of_a_page_started_in_userspace.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Could you come comment.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:39, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Given that you did not notice the pending discussion, let me know if you are following WT:FOUR or if I should ping you every time I reply.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry—I was initially waiting for other editors to weigh in, but then it slipped my mind. I'm watching the page, so no need to message me. Thanks! Little Mountain 5 16:45, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Hydronymy

Hallo, I am interested in hydronymy as it looks the language of prehistoric Europe is reflected therein. I left a message on the wikiproject rivers talkpage, just looking for editors with similar interests to exchange information. I have discovered the so called old european hydronymy is not limited to Europe but has many correspondences in Iran, India and furhter away so I think this disproves the current scholarly etymological interpretations. Presently I am trying to research Bengal and Burma. Thanks for reading.Aldrasto11 (talk) 11:24, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about European hydronymy, so I won't be of much help to you. But good luck! Little Mountain 5 17:30, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

thank you!Aldrasto11 (talk) 02:24, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Colorado River at FAC

Good morning! Colorado River is up for FAC and could use a few reviewers. I thought you might be interested. If you could help that'd be awesome. Regards, Shanno n 16:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Saint Joe River

On 23 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Saint Joe River, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Saint Joe River has been described as the highest navigable river in the world? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Saint Joe River. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

New rule

FYI, Wikipedia_talk:Four_Award#Impending_rule_change.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 06:23, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Please confirm my assessment of Martin Keamy and Tropical Storm Brenda (1960).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 08:01, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

If I understand the new rule correctly, both should still be fine, because they were nominated at DYK before their GANs passed. Little Mountain 5 16:01, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I see Keamy GA pass time is 19:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC) at Talk:Martin Keamy/GA1. A mouseover pointed to this edit at 04:40, 3 July 2008. On closer inspection, I see that this earlier edit at 0:26, 29 June 2008 means we are all good.

I see Brenda's GA pass time is 19:40, 9 January 2010 (UTC) at Talk:Tropical Storm Brenda (1960)/GA1 and Brenda's nom 21:39, 5 January 2010. I think when I did the mouseover on the preview button for this diff it looked like 9 January instead of 5.

Apologies. Trying to rip through 75 of these, I took some shortcuts using mouseovers so I did not have to wait for pages to load. It looks like we won't lose any FOURs.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 20:45, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Collaborations

I am just realizing that some of my WP:CHICOTW work should have been evaluated for collaborators. I initially nominated them considering only my own work, but of course have never reviewed them myself. It is likely that reviewers did not evaluate possible collaborators for FOUR consideration at both Chicago Board of Trade Building and South Side, Chicago. The latter would just be for recordkeeping since it has been delisted.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 00:29, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

You never gave me your opinion of my collaborators on the above. Also, for the record, can you give me an opinion on whether involvement was heavy enough in No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit RAAF for FOUR recognition.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:23, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Chicago Board of Trade Building: LurkingInChicago (talk · contribs) should definitely receive FOUR credit, because he created the first encyclopedic content, wrote the vast majority of the article, and was active in all four stages of development (less so at FAC, but I think his contributions there were significant enough for consideration).

South Side, Chicago: I'm not sure if Speciate (talk · contribs) was involved enough in the later stages of the article's development to receive FOUR credit. (Assuming the article ever regains its FA status.)

No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit RAAF: I don't think Nick-D (talk · contribs) was involved enough to meet FOUR's DYK, GA, or FA criteria. Little Mountain 5 16:50, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOUR RFC

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:04, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Oregon rivers
Thank you for quality articles on Oregon's rivers, such as Little Butte Creek, looking at the related history and people, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (5 July 2008)!

Casey's June beetle

The content was deleted because the information you posted (copied from older sources and not your own research) regarding Dinacoma is not up to date/accurate. I am in the process of revising the genus and there have been some taxonomic changes that you are not aware of. I'm open to new taxonomic and morphological information if you have any to contribute? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.234.183.121 (talk) 20:12, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

If you would like to remove the current paragraph and replace it with more recent/accurate information, please feel free to do so, provided that you have a verifiable source to back it up—Wikipedia does not accept original research. Also, I did not write the article (and indeed know very little about this particular beetle), so please contact the main author, Melchoir (talk · contribs), or post on the article's talk page regarding any perceived factual inaccuracies. Cheers, Little Mountain 5 00:57, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Mexico river list

Thanks for the heads-up. I've never thought about the problem you've pointed out. Does the entire sandbox history automatically tag along every time I create a new article in a sandbox and then move it to mainspace? If so, I may have done this 200 times, not sure. Should I be doing something different? Finetooth (talk) 23:49, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Oh, it probably only happens during a "move" rather than when I use cut-and-paste. So maybe the other 199 creations did not have this problem? Finetooth (talk) 23:52, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the edit history only moves when the page is moved, not when it is cut-and-pasted. So if the sandbox is new and the entire history is relevant to the article, moving is great. But if the sandbox is older and has a long history, all those old edits will come along with it, so it's better to cut-and-paste. It's really not too big of a problem—just a little confusing for anyone looking at the page history. (As it stands, the Mexico list appears to have over 5,000 revisions!) Cheers, Little Mountain 5 00:04, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this and seeking a remedy. Finetooth (talk) 00:26, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

No problem. The list's history is fixed, but due to the difficulty of the request, the other edits are now at User:Finetooth/George Washington Weidler, User:Finetooth/South Fork Clackamas River, and User:Finetooth/Sandbox6. Sorry about that; do whatever you want with them. Little Mountain 5 16:36, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Huggle 3

Hey Little_Mountain_5! I am Petrb, one of core developers of Huggle, the antivandalism tool, which you are beta testing (according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers). I am happy to announce that Huggle 3 is ready for some testing. You can read more about it at WP:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta. Please keep in mind that this is a development version and it is not ready for regular use. That means you must:

Watch your contribs - when anything happens you didn't want, fix it and report a bug
Frequently checkout source code and build latest version, we change it a lot

If you find any problem with a feature that is supposed to work perfectly, please let us know. Some features are not ready yet, it is listed in known problems on Huggle3 beta page, you don't need to report these - we know it! So, that's it. Have fun testing and please let us know about any problems, either using bugzilla @ http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ or #huggle ^connect. Please respond to my talk page, I am not going to watch your talk page. Thank you Petrb (talk) 10:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Bibleversefinder thanks

Thanks for getting that, Little Mountain. May I ask, where did you see the request? Is User:AnomieBOT/TPERTable on your watchlist? --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:34, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

No problem! Yes, TPERTable is on my watchlist and I also just added it to my user page earlier today. If there are any other templates that need fixing, let me know. Little Mountain 5 07:40, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the info; nice to know the new system (template-protected requests, I mean) is working. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:56, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

B.J. Upton edit

The edit on the BJ Upton page may seem inappropriate, however, it is correct. Records show that Upton had been acting as a pimp for the baseball team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.175.16 (talk) 23:18, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
