Soulfly article

Hey Daniel! I've been recently editing the article of Brazilian heavy metal band Soulfly, which was somewhat inept due to a gerenal lack of sources. Another Wikipedia editor, Prophaniti (talk), has changed music genres in the Infobox based on an ultimately unreliable source, The Metal Observer. Now, I've had a nasty run-in with this editor and his friend Landon1980 (talk) in the past due to some editing on the now deleted Metal Observer article. I'm not asking for you to get directly involved but to check, now and then, the talk page of Soulfly article, as an admin uninvolved with the editing process. I am under the impression that we'll see sparks flying in a near future, and I'd like some with more experience in Wikipedia matters to intervene in case this gets out of hand.

Wallkill River

Hello, I've translated this article into the German WP but I ad problems in understanding in the following passage:

It also has the unusual distinction of being a river that drains into a creek, due to being impounded shortly before the Rondout confluence into a small body of water called Sturgeon Pool near Rifton, and what reaches the Rondout from there is the lesser flow.

Could you please clarify that? --Matthiasb (talk) 13:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Troy

You're welcome. It's a good article. Are you involved with the Troy historic district?Historicist (talk) 17:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, it is a nice article. And you are entirely correct about the synagogue. Tt is architecturally notable and should be listed on the Natinoal Register. I suspect that it lacks a constituency, since some less notable synagogues are listed. However, it has been neglected by architectural historians. sometimes buildings in second-tier cities get forgotten.Historicist (talk) 17:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

2,352 Gemstone Images not worth being added as a link?

Hi Daniel, you could be the one who might ask the Wiki.en gentlemen to whitelist my URL www.realgems.org. Since December 2008 Vsmith & Co. (USA) have deleted all my external links so that all gemstone-interested Wiki users worldwide (! - except Germany) cannot find my collection of faceted gemstones (and their rough versions) any more... From July 2008 until December 2008 all my link additions (to my own, educational and non-profit website) were not regarded as spam!!!

Since a few days I have followed the instruction of an English Wiki admin to create something worthy for Wikipedia so that my URL can be whitelisted again. So I created these articles on German Wiki BECAUSE GERMAN WIKI HAS WHITELISTED MY URL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THAT MY COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 2000 IMAGES IS WORTH BEING LINKED AT WIKIPEDIA: Tugtupite, Jeremejevite, Benitoite and added some data to Red Beryl. What else can I do to reach a worldwide whitelisting?

Kind regards, Mike / Realgems.org F.N. Berg (talk) 20:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

User Tigeroo

Hi Daniel Case
Need your intervention with restraining User Tigeroo who has again begun wholesale deletions of referenced content with citations .
Here are three specific instances in one single day from the same article

• 4 March 2009 Tigeroo
• 4 March 2009 Tigeroo
• 4 March 2009 Tigeroo

Tigeroo cites Wikipedia rules to corrupt the spirit of these rules ,I have tried really..really hard earlier as well to reason with him ...see Talk:Muhammad bin Qasim but to no avail .
Intothefire (talk) 17:56, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Daniel,

The reason there are three listed edits is because each edit was explained in the edit summary for each so that other editors may see what I was doing. They are effectively just one edit punctuated to enable greater transparency, and I suppose I could have also done the same on the talk page. In essence they are a very simple removal of direct primary source material haphazardly copy and pasted under a title or randomly inserted into a section. I did not really see it as an extensive change, just as a rather obvious fix. If you have a quick glance at it, I am sure you will see what I mean.

On other articles, I have explained myself at greater length when an editor did not think the edit summary was specially clear or obvious and the issue was raised. i.e. in India at Decline of Buddhism I have contributed extensively across Wikipedia and will have had some prior content disputes with editors, such as User:Intothefire. Some, that could possibly flare up again. It would be ridiculous to have all those that disagree with my edits or previous disagreements to call upon you to complain and bring their disputes here. I do believe I have been conducting myself within wikipedia acceptable reason when reapproaching such issues but would could use some advice on how to tackle such issues that may crop up.--Tigeroo (talk) 13:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Walnut Park

I, too, have a degree from SU...well, actually, they didn't mail me the diploma yet, but I finished a Masters in Accounting in December. Thanks for the picture suggestion...I'll try Bird sometime. As for the linear park phrase, it is how it was referred to in the nomination form. I have no problem with taking the word out. I like the way the picture looks in the infobox, too, but the reason we changed it is that apparently when Firefox users look at the article there's a big white space from the end of the text to the bottom of the infobox before the table begins. Moving the picture out of the infobox made the infobox shorter, and thus minimized the white space. I won't change it back, but doncram might if he visits it again, since he's a Firefox user. I was thinking I'd like to be able to look at articles in both browsers, to be sure they look okay, especially the district articles that I've put tables into. Maybe I'll download Firefox and try having both browsers available. Thanks again for the interest and suggestions. Lvklock (talk) 00:52, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I added a bit to this article. Take a look, when you get a chance. I don't do much real article development...I like pictures best. Lvklock (talk) 21:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Bias, contridictions and abuse of power

Wow i found it amazing you would block me for removing something that was sourced by youtube, giving them the benefit of doubt (pending the original DVD as a source, which is still NOT here) yet did nothing when they vandalized my argument that had a youtube vid, even though the start of the film had a NASA SIGNED document. did you block the guy who STARTED the edit war? of course not.

i know, IGNORE it and or distort what im saying and no doubt abuse your power. you can find a reason to ban me again. if all else fails, make me take it to the talk page and use the apeal to popular opinion fallacy. i dont know moon landing has evidence for/against it, though more against it, but its not a major issue. forget this, no wonder wikipedia is a joke. bye Sfvace (talk) 07:47, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Request for Adminship

Good evening! I was wondering if I could ask you a favor. I am considering standing at RfA in the near future and wanted to ask if you would be kind enough to write a co-nomination? MSGJ has generously offered to nominate me, as we work together at WP:AFC. However, I would also like someone's opinion from a different area (namely, UAA). Thanks in advance. TNXMan 00:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Daniel, you should maybe try to usurp User:Daniel case because I nearly posted on the wrong talk page! Have you thought about the above yet? It's okay if you don't feel able to, just if you let us know because I am about to write the nom. Cheers, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just in case you missed the reply on my talkpage, if and when you are ready, the link to the nomination is here. Someone else who helps on the helpdesk, ukexpat, has also offered to conominate, so you don't have to write too much! Cheers, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: This guy

Hi Daniel, is it okay if I reblock this IP? He's a "notable" troll that is known as "the falisifier" (you saw what he does). Not a big deal if you say no but it'd be advantageous for the Wiki. Thanks in advance! Scarian^{Call me Pat!} 07:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

DYK nomination

Would you mind giving, as it were, a second opinion about this nomination for a DYK. Awadewit has rejected the article claiming it has plagiarism. I think you could claim the offending paragraph was not sufficiently copyedited, and I have learnt something from that. But plagiarism seems over the top. I have corrected the offending paragraph, and can find no other problems in the article. --Geronimo20 (talk) 00:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

DreamGuy, again

Within hours of getting unblocked, User:DreamGuy is up to his old tricks. He just removed a bunch of consensus edits (and some other ones) on the Ambigram page and removed a lot of comments on the Talk:Ambigram page that he disagreed with (mostly, perhaps all, mine). I'm leaving this message on your talk page (and User_talk:Protonk's and User_talk:Hersfold's) because of your involvement in his recent block. Thanks. RoyLeban (talk) 19:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I just took a look at it, and it's not looking too good, more of the same WP:POINTy crap. I want to get you and Protonk's opinions on this before I do anything or take this to ANI, though. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Jabuka

I saw that you protected Jabuka article with description that "anonymous IP-hopper making extraordinary unsourced claims". Ok, I am "anonymous IP", but it is because I prefer so, and, as I understand, it is not against Wiki rules to edit articles as an "anonymous IP" as long as these edits are not disruptive. Now, the question whether I posting there "unsorced claims" or not is another story. I actually posted my sources in both: the talk page (see: Talk:Jabuka), and the article itself, but the problem is that user:Speidelj claim that he cannot open Internet source that I presented to him on the talk page and he removing from article references that I posted. This is his edit in which he blanked reference list: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jabuka&diff=275800413&oldid=275704615 Ok, if you already involved yourself in this problem, can you perform some sort of mediation here? I will try to prove to you that it is not me who behave disruptive here, but user:Speidelj (no matter if I edit articles as "anonymous IP" or as "registered user"). First, I will ask you to tell me can you open this link or not (since user:Speidelj claim that it cannot be opened): http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:m5yUnACBSbAJ:www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l+jabuka+stratiste&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2 If you can open this link, can you tell to user:Speidelj that link can be opened and can you confirm to him that it contain these 3 sentences: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jabuka#And_now Also, is there an easy way to check is user:Balcescu an sockpuppet created by user:Speidelj? Thank you. 81.18.62.135 (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Today user 81.18.62.135 informed me, that his sources are to be opened:

"Actually, Speidelj, I admit that you are right in one thing: the link that I provided to you indeed have an form that ask for your name and telephone, but you do not have to fill this form - all you have to do is to go to lower part of that page and to read history of Jabuka. Would you be so kind to do this, thank you: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:m5yUnACBSbAJ:www.sopancevo.org.yu/30-1-l+jabuka+stratiste&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2 81.18.62.135 (talk) 20:38, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Speidelj" and further:"The stupid web site is online again - as I assumed, it indeed changed Internet domain from "yu" to "rs", so the new adress is: http://www.pancevo.rs/Jabuka-30-1 So, Speidelj, would you be so kind to read history of Jabuka on this page? thank you very much. 81.18.62.135 (talk) 20:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)--Speidelj (talk) 23:13, 9 March 2009 (UTC) But anyway, the source is always rhe same one, without citation, so it is not a valuable source for wikipedia. But all the other days he called me a liar and a denier of holocaust.--Speidelj (talk) 23:13, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

My conclusions

Well ... interesting argument you have going there. I can't read that linked page; it's in Serbo-Croatian (well, I could try based on familiarity with two other Slavic languages but it's really too late for that now.

Why don't you try seeking a third opinion on this, or perhaps seeing what the people at reliable sources noticeboard think? As for the sockpuppetry allegation, that should be handled at WP:SPI. Daniel Case (talk) 05:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Unlock Jabuka or what?

OK, the basic problem with Jabuka article was that I used an source that changed its internet domain from "yu" to "rs", and older version of this page that I used could not be oppened any more. However, I found new version of this page about Jabuka (now with "rs" internet domain): http://www.pancevo.rs/Jabuka-30-1 Also, if you see this, you will see that user Speidelj also addmitted that he can open and read this source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jabuka#Finally So, you basically locked article until 15 March 2009 with description that "anonymous IP-hopper making extraordinary unsourced claims", and now, when I have link that actually work, would you be so kind to unlock article, so that I can update links that point to this source, thank you. 212.69.6.213 (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

There is no need to open the article for IP-hoppers, who are offending users as sockpuppets, sockpuppetmaster or even as liars and, worse, denier of holocaust.--Speidelj (talk) 21:42, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Your editing Lou Pearlman

I see you removed the part about Ayman Difrawi on Lou_Pearlman#Talent_scouting_scandal. I do not consider this editing appropriate, and reverted the changes. Difrawi was Pearlman's main man in his controversial talent scouting businesses. They were Difrawi's brain childs and he was in fact running the show. Pretty well-sourced graf's too, imho. If you intend to repeat your actions, please be damn specific about them. Thank you. Regards --WeatherFug (talk) 07:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Few Questions. Apparently the names Ayman Ahmed el Difrawi aka Alec Defrawy and other aliases are demanded to be completely removed from Wikipedia, and legal pressure is employed by Difrawi's lawyer? Could you please provide detailed specifications about all concerns, so I can address them one by one? Have mr Defrawri's legal threats been addressed directly to you, or to the appropriate Wikipedia department? Thank you, kind regards --WeatherFug (talk) 21:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hancock Manor

Hi. I wonder if you could help me out with something. At the Hancock Manor article, various IPs have, for the past two months, been removing mention of the fact that slaves were kept on the property. They have also not engaged in discussion at all. I believe this may be the doing of a descendant of the family, and while I understand one's reluctance to have that aspect of the family history publicized, it is nonetheless still history. Do you have any advice? Perhaps semi-protection for a while might work? - Biruitorul ^Talk 17:22, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Username Issues - TentaclePorn

Hi there Daniel, I appreciate your concern and as a clearly productive user of wikipedia I will regard your advice as well justified. Although I don't believe - personally - that there are any issues with my current username, I do understand how some people may target me. Despite my strong disagreement with anything offensive or questionable about my name, I do want to avoid any issues that may arise. As a relatively new Wikipedia account owner, I am unsure how I would go about changing my name. Any help would be appreciate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TentaclePorn (talk • contribs) 03:01, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

It's simple: Request a name change at WP:Changing username. Follow the instructions, and be sure to choose a reasonable name that doesn't fall afoul of Wikipedia's username policy. A bureaucrat will do it, but it may take some time (though most of them are done within 24 hours). -Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Cardmaker)} 03:07, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

It's a sparrow not a swallow, you twit! And they do migrate. Millions of the little buggers have emigrated from England to Australia, where they are regarded with intense prejudice, particularly in the West where they get shot just for crossing the border.

Oversight

Thanks for oversighting the posting made in response to something I'd said on Charles Manson talk. As I outlined in my oversight email, this is just one more step in a long series from the proven sock master account that has continued to return and harass. I noticed that the account itself is still present and not blocked, which means she will come back and do something again. Since it was created immediately after I'd posted a warning to another account of the sock master and now used to harass me and try to out me, I was wondering why this account isn't blocked and deleted? Is there something more I need to submit to clarify the situation besides what I sent in the oversight request. I'm not keen on this sock master having an account with my real name that she can use when she wants. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:07, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Siena College

I hate to bother you with this, but I am at my wits-end and I know I get overly emotional about disputes on wikipedia, so I'm hoping you as an admin can take an objective look at this argument that I admit did escalate at a point to an edit war. Siena College, if you could read its talk page on whether the college is located in the hamlet of Loudonville or the hamlet of Newtonville (we all agree it has a Loudonville ZIP code). Further information can be taken from my talk page, user:JBC3, and user:Hippo43. I dont know if even an admin has the right to step into this type of argument and make any kind of judgement as to the legitimacy of information presented or anything like what I'm asking, but if you could put in your two cents after examining all the evidence (I guess kind of like a judge) whatever position sways your opinion I can live with, I'll admit I may not agree with it and still think its wrong, but at least there will be what I consider an outside unbiased opinion and if my arguments fail to win the case, then I'll just have to search harder and maybe next time can find more definitive sources or just give up. Thanks and I hope this doesnt end up causing stress on you!Camelbinky (talk) 05:38, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

I dont know what to do now that you have said that the USGS suggests Newtonville. The user Hippo43 is accusing me of vandalism if I change it back again. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with the sources I had and I would like to add the USGS map you have as well. The user says the sources arent legitimate, claims that since nothing comes out and SAYS "Siena is in the hamlet of Newtonville" I cant put that it is in the hamlet of Newtonville unless a source says so. Is there some warning or anything you are willing to do so I can put my sources and information back in the article or at least use those same sources and information to keep him from stripping from the Newtonville, New York article that Siena College is in the hamlet. I dont want to be the one labeled a vandal. I just want what to be able to present my facts in the articles.Camelbinky (talk) 04:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm taking the discussion at Siena College to dispute resolution. It said that it could only consider conflicts that already had asked for a third party opinion. I figure I could use that I asked you for an opinion as having tried that step already. I could use your professional opinion on what to do now. I was ready to drop this until Hippo43 made the comment that "you are in the minority view" towards me, when in fact wadester and JBC3 both are in the same basic view with me versus just him. I am a little over my head with bringing something to conflict resolution as I have not filled out one before and am not familiar with alot of the technical aspects of wikipedia. I have asked wadester if he's willing to do it, as he's better than I am at this stuff and much calmer about it, but if you dont mind filling it out that would be ok too. I guess all parties have to sign, so I hope you are willing to sign it too. Thanks and sorry I dragged you into this in the first place.Camelbinky (talk) 02:19, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

This is the exact message that I receive when attempting to edit anything from my apartment:

You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia. You can still read pages, but you cannot edit, change, or create them. Editing from 98.231.16.0/20 (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by Nishkid64 for the following reason(s).

This is AFTER I log in to the account, which I had assumed would allow me to 'get around a block.' This is really getting frustrating for several reasons: 1) no reasons have been provided for the block 2) this is Wikipedia, not the Oxford Dictionary (that is not a slam on Wiki, but the truth of the matter is Wikipedia was intended to be a user based site and users are being banned for years for no reason) 3) I keep going in circle after circle with various mods attempting to get unblocked. Every time I provide what is requested, something else is asked. Once that is provided, someone asks for the originial request again.

Here is the IP from my apartment that is apparently the one being blocked: 98.231.16.46 Huntmog (talk) 17:17, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

About my block still

The reason that I seem so intent on the block being lifted is simple: it irritated me that the process was so convoluted for such a minor issue. All I wanted to do was edit a couple of athletes pages that have erroneous information, and add references to Sitting Bull's page. I play a lot of online poker and like to have a lot of background noise going, so forums and wikipedia allow that activity during a lull in the game.

A temporary/trial un-blocking would be great since Im sure the first time I did anything out of line, it would be jumped all over anyways. Thanks again and hopefully this can be resolved soon. Huntmog (talk) 18:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Siena College

Hi Daniel, thanks for your input in the Siena College dispute. Hopefully we can reach a good solution.

Your threat that I would be blocked struck me as excessive. I apologise if my sarcasm caused any offence - it was intended as a rhetorical statement, not disrespect to any person. I'm not especially knowledgeable on blocking policy, but I can't see at all how this might be grounds for a block.

Moreover, I'm concerned that the statement you posted in the RfC was not at all neutral, as required, or representative of the preceding discussion. It struck me as a real distortion of the case for 'Loudonville', and omitted the clear consensus that exists among reliable sources.

It's great to have the involvement of an admin in this, but I'm concerned that you are supporting a particular position in the dispute as well as acting as a kind of authority figure. Your position as an admin gives you a certain status in this - threatening to block someone who holds an opposing view to yourself, and posting a misleading (at best) statement for the RfC strike me as quite partisan. Is there a way to resolve this? Again, I'm grateful for your help in finding a resolution. --hippo43 (talk) 18:34, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

New Rochelle problem discussion notification: I've opened a new discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Long-running problem with respect to New Rochelle area articles.

Now Siena conflict has migrated!

HELP! This has gotten out of hand. Now hippo insists on editing the Loudonville, New York article to say it is a town, and says that it is because according to the common definition of a town it is and it doesnt matter what the political reality of it is. He says we must have a source to cite that Loudonville is NOT a town. He has also brought the Siena conflict to two other outside discussion forums, Doncram can give you the link to them, I dont have them. This is getting out of hand for such a little thing that we all were willing to compromise greatly on. I really truly believe this is a matter of trolling, I hope I dont get in trouble for saying so but that is my interpretation of how this migrating, the edit to Loudonville without discussing first really seems to just be a way to create more conflict and arguing and not constructive to the article at all. Is there anything to be done about this? I'm very disillusioned with wikipedia and probably will "retire" from it even if something is done about him. What is the point in me doing good work and editing if someone like hippo is allowed to hide behind technicallities to put in blatantly false or misleading info and make judgement calls on my sources and say they arent reliable without ever bringing a discussion or abiding by concensus.Camelbinky (talk) 17:41, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Camelbinky, you have spread this nonsense around fairly widely. I don't think I ever edited the Loudonville article to say it is a town. Can you supply a diff? If not, you owe me an apology.

DC, I took the discussion to WP:RSN and WP:NORN when the Siena page was edit protected, which seemed constructive. It produced more debate and some interesting views. --hippo43 (talk) 20:33, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Jeez, how many places do I have to go to combat this slur? Anyways- as I told wadester, Daniel you can check the history of the Loudonville article and see hippo's edit yourself where the statement that Loudonville is a town does appear and where doncram mentions it in his edit summary on the revert. I'm not asking anyone to take my word for it, the evidence is there.Camelbinky (talk) 20:59, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for getting back to me. I hope you are having a fun time in Amman and not just doing work, lots of archaeological sites to see, I have always been fascinated with Petra, if you get a chance to see that site I would love to hear a first-hand account of it. When you get back I am willing to give it a chance to see your opinion on how the situation unfolded. I will not present my side at this moment, when you are back and you have time to look over the situation then I will answer whatever questions you may have. I have however retired from wikipedia, most likely for good, though I do watch articles I like to keep up on for new information, I just dont care to edit at this moment or get into arguments with people who disagree with my edits and resort to saying that my statements are "dumb". I do however wish for some sort of validation that I did not blow out of proportion hippo43's treatment of me on my own talk page, and that his continued posting of inflamatory remarks not just on my talk page but on multiple other pages was over the line. At this point I'm not looking for "revenge" against him, I dont care if anything happens over it, I just would like to know if a third party truly thinks "yea, camelbinky, you're right, hippo did step over the line and was rude, you're not exagerating". But if I am I'd like to hear that too. Anyways, have fun, relax, and take your time no emergencies.Camelbinky (talk) 05:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I had thought it would be best, since I had already retired my Camelbinky account, to edit only through IP addresses to avoid Hippo43 and to keep him from editing on my talk page. But now that my "identity" has been "discovered" I have resumed User:Camelbinky as my account. Hippo43 has resumed his posting of comments on my talk page after several warnings to not send me messages on my talk page and confine his comments to me on relevant article related issues on the relevant talk page of an article. I dont know what to do, I am at my last straw, he is now claiming a user does not "own" their own talk pages. I have posted the relevant policy from Wikipedia:Harrassment that at least I interpret as stating otherwise, to a degree that keeps the talk page in the general public's sphere but gives latitude to the user for more control than an article talk page.Camelbinky (talk) 21:32, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Jennifer Fitzgerald.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Loudonville, New York

I dont want to confront or start another argument with Hippo43 but can you take a look at the info I put into Loudonville that Hippo keeps removing. It is my personal opinion that he is removing the info because it may make him "look bad" in that it is a legitimate newspaper source that mentions that some people use Loudonville PO boxes as their addresses even if they live outside the mailing area just because it makes their business seem "higher class" and legitimizes what some of us said at Siena College that PERHAPS the college wanted to promote the name L. for its own benefit. But anyways, I just wanted a second opinion, if you think the info I put in really doesnt belong then I'll go along, but if you dont think so I still dont know what to do because I'm not going to get into another convo with that guy!Camelbinky (talk) 00:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

US 62 in NY

Hey. Since you've been to WNY many times (if I'm remembering correctly), you may be interested in taking a look at the recently-created U.S. Route 62 in New York. The creator of the article means well, but sadly, the route description is not that good. Your descriptions - whether it be NY 32 or US 20 in NY - always turn out well, so I was wondering if you'd be interested in taking the task of sprucing it up or rewriting it completely. At least it wouldn't be as lengthy as US 20 was. =) Regards, TMF 06:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Southern Gothic Productions

Thank you for your time in re-considering SGP. Although clearly new to blogging, H. Burton, K. Tenney et al are not new to film-making. As of now, all efforts on behalf of SoGoPro are fan/volunteer-based - hence the confusion. Naturally there ARE lawyers - and a marketing firm (overdue on delivering an official website.)

For a national publication quoting Hilarie re: SGP see TV Guide - May '07

For an indication of international appeal, i invite you to look at the flags and live-feed on their messy but happy blog.

And because pictures (and pictures on maps!) are worth... okay - not a reliable source - if you say so

I have asked our street team to become familiar with the Wiki guidelines and community in order to contribute in a meaningful way - and i am trying to follow suit.

personally looking forward to this all going better and a trip to the Hudson Valley

okay - my links are broken - HTML scares me and not sure if this will thread properly - sigh

Troy, New York talk page

Hello Daniel Case. Since it appears you did the work converting to a Geobox for Troy, New York, I thought you might find this section of the talk page relevant: Talk:Troy, New York/Archives/2012#Geobox. --JBC3 (talk) 04:23, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Jeez, JBC3, I know you have issues with me but come on, if you had a problem with me suggesting an infobox to replace the geobox then say so at the article page. I simply wanted to make all city, town, and village articles in the Capital District look the same, since Albany and some others use an infobox I thought Troy should probably change. If there is a reason why some people prefer geoboxes versus infoboxes, then they should speak up and we can have a discussion at the capital District Wikiproject talk page. From the reading I've done infobox settlement seems better prepared for city articles. That's my personal preference, but if the majority of CD wikiproject members prefer geoboxes so be it. Oh and when did Wp:BOLD stop applying to me personally? Ever since you labeled me a "sockpuppet" you've gone around and decided that anything I do needs to be scrutinized and make a big deal about it. If I want to change a geobox to an infobox what is the big deal exactly, why dont I have the right? wikipedia:infobox is valid and there is a whole wikiproject of people involved with it. I dont even understand why we have geoboxes AND infoboxes.[[[User:Camelbinky|Camelbinky]] (talk) 04:37, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Camelbinky, I have addressed your statement on my talk page, as you have left a similar message there as well. --JBC3 (talk) 05:13, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

AFD Re-opened

As you are an editor who had been involved in the Afd discussion of Jennifer Fitzgerald, I'm here to let you know that I re-opened the discussion on the article to gain a stronger consensus. After some discussion with a few other editors I agree that I may have closed the article too hastily and that further discussion is necessary before a final decision is made. Best wishes, Icestorm815 • Talk 19:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Geobox help

Can you look at the geobox region that I put in for Capital District, I know I still have to fill out some fields like area. I'm just curious if I used the right (or best) one for this article. I found the template used on most California regions and those are the best ones for sub-state regions I've found so along with your comment that geoboxes are better than infoboxes I thought it would be a smart thing to emulate them. If you have any other suggestions or comments for improvement on the article if you get time to read the whole thing I'd love to hear those too. And I'll change the Albany, New York article to a geobox too.Camelbinky (talk) 00:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Wow I'm embarressed! I didnt even notice it and I looked it over and over trying to think "is anything wrong?" and never noticed I put the wrong county! I'm so glad you were able to look it over and catch that. I'm now going back and putting citations everywhere for the article, but I was wondering what your opinion on info in an infobox, does it need a citation if the info is also in the article and cited in the article itself?Camelbinky (talk) 02:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Another question, sir!

Sorry to be a bother but you were alot of help with geoboxes, so I was wondering if you could help me with another question- can tell me how to move a photo from wikimapia? There are two great photos of the Schenectady City Hall on wikimapia but I cant seem to find them on the commons or see how to move them to wikipedia.

Suggested article topic

Hi Daniel. As my article on the Merchant Shipbuilding Corporation is in the DYK pipeline, and since you like to write article about historic places, I thought you might be interested in penning an article on the Harriman Historic District, which is mentioned in the above article but which doesn't appear to have an article of its own yet. Harriman township was the largest single housing project undertaken by the EFC during the First World War. It would make a nice complement to the MSC article IMO if you could get it done fairly quickly. Regards, Gatoclass (talk) 01:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. There's certainly no shortage of info in the reference you located :) Gatoclass (talk) 04:41, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I would have preferred to leave it to you, but as I was unsure if you intended to expand it further, and time was running out to submit the tandem hook, I felt I had little choice but to take a crack at it myself. I think it turned out okay in the end, although I guess a little more could be added to the "Description" section. Thanks once again for helping me out with it :) Gatoclass (talk) 13:28, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

In the comment section you state that it is "facing south". I think that's incorrect; it's facing north. Indeed, the caption of the pic at South Fallsburg states that it's facing north. --Notyetbornagain (talk) 15:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Question

I'm trying to access the NRHP source, which you use to source the synagogue articles. I've downloaded Java but all I get is a two page document that says that the building is NHRP, nothing more. Can you please help? Thansk, --Notyetbornagain (talk) 17:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm using Firefox. Maybe I'll download Safari. I need to get a look at the source for South Fallsburg Hebrew Association Synagogue; there's some factual mistakes there. For one,

"the bimah is unusually placed in the rear, near the ark, rather than the center as is customary in Orthodox synagogues"

can't be right. Firstly, I was in the synagogue a few years ago and the bima was not in the rear. A bima is never placed in the rear. It is either in the front or in the center. Also, an ark is always in the front.

Secondly, the sukka in the basement thing doesn't really make sense. The most fundamental aspect of a sukka is that it have nothing but the sky above it. The last place a sukka can be placed is in a basement.

But otherwise, the articles are really awesome. If anyone here should be paid for there contributions, it's you. Best, --Notyetbornagain (talk) 18:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

==Silver Lake (Woodridge, New York), Silver Lake Dam I fooled with the DYK hook. The grammar of the latter part was unclear as to what it was referring to. I hope I didn't mess anything up. Also, I thought the fulla rticle title is supposed to be included in the hook for the articles? I think the dam one just says "dam"? Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up in case you want to revert. Cheers. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:34, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Request for help

Hey, I have a favor to ask. Since you live in the Hudson Valley region, I was wondering if it'd be possible for you to access the contents of this 1916 article in the Middletown Times Press through a local library. The relevant portion of the piece discusses the improvement of a 1.3-mile highway leading from the NYS Women's Relief Corps Home to Oxford; this highway became legislative Route 8-a in the late 1910s and part of NY 220 in 1930. If it isn't possible to access it, it's OK, but I figured it was worth a shot. =) Thanks in advance! – TMF 15:48, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Catskill synagogues

Nice articles. I'm afraid I have nothing to add.Historicist (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Can you explain how the Fallsburg synagogue has a sukkah with a retractable roof in the basement? I followed the link and it is described that way in the document you cite. But... surely this is an error? After all, it's not a basement unless there is a built space bove it, in which case it cannot be a sukkah. I'm just puzzled.Historicist (talk) 21:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

This year it's October 2-11. Lots of synagogues have built in sukkahs, rooms with roofs that lift or slide back to open to the sky, or courtyards built so that all you have to do when the holiday begins is to lay fresh branches on top. The requirements for a sukkah are walls and an open roof covered with branches through which you can see the stars. A basement does not work. This is hardly an important point. But it did pique my curiosity.Historicist (talk) 22:46, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Hyde Park Elementary School

Hello! Your submission of Hyde Park Elementary School at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified.

ThankSpam

My RfA Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much.

Central Troy Historic District

Thanks! And, I absolutely will look at this tonight. Lvklock (talk) 14:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I love this article. I think I have nothing to offer for improvements, as it looks awesome as it is. My grandfather went to RPI in the late 20's, and it's very cool to think I can go visit and get a sense of what the city was like when he lived there. Your pictures rock, as always. And, my Central New York response to Bruno's contributions is "oh, that's where some of our tax money went", as it doesn't appear to have been much spent in CNY. ;) The district map is really nice. Are those overlays hard? I saw someone else do a map like that somewhere and was impressed then, too. On my browser (IE), there's a big blank space under the National Register of Historic Places section header, from halfway down the Gurley Building to the top of St. Paul's Epsicopal Church. Interrupts the flow a little. I'm definitely gonna keep a link to this article on my talk page for inspiration. Thanks for pointing me to it for a read. Lvklock (talk) 23:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Eligible but not yet listed NRHP sites

Hi Daniel ... I see that you added Rivercrest Historic District to National Register of Historic Places listings in Broome County, New York. It's been my understanding that the NRHP tables should only include properties once they're officially listed on the Register and not those that have only been determined to be eligible. Do you know otherwise? --sanfranman59 (talk) 05:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that the NPS assigns a reference number when a property is nominated and ruled eligible. But that doesn't mean it's "listed". There are lots of properties that are in "eligible but not listed" status and I think some stay that way for long periods (years or even indefinitely perhaps?). I think WP:NRHP made the decision not to include these properties back when we were deciding on the content and format of the tables. But feel free to raise the question on the project talk page. --sanfranman59 (talk) 15:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Your opinion...

Since I have found you to be quite wise and thoughtful in our discussions and Wadester puts alot of confidence in your opinions I thought I would ask for your opinion on this, since the question/idea has been nagging me for some time and was somewhat touched on your comment about the info on Washington Park being more for an article on the park itself than the district. So here is my question/comment- I have noticed that alot of places/buildings have articles in which the title is that of the NRHP/district and not any actual name that is notable today (or in some cases a name that it was never known as). Washington Park in Albany does not have a page, but rather redirects to the historic district. At National Register of Historic Places listings in Albany County, New York there are listed many places that were never referred to by those names when they were actually around, such as the Albany Glassworks Site (I posted the correct names with at least two references on the talk page). It is my opinion that these buildings and/or places should have their official present-day name for the article and that any NRHP designation should be a redirect and be a section within but separate in the article, it bothers me because when writting articles like History of Albany, New York I have to create links to articles that in title dont resemble the name I need for the article and am afraid they could at face value be confusing and with so much emphasis on the NRHP designation linking the term Washington Park (the one in Albany) for an Albany history article to the historic district imparts no new information for the actual park. Feel free to tell me I'm being anal and you see no conflict or problem, I probably am, but if this is a common problem please let me know what the best course of action is to do, I would hate to have to create duplicate articles for each NRHP/district just to cover the actual place/building that is notable instead of the designation, there is already a Washington Park Historic District (Troy, New York) and then for me to create a Washington Park (Troy, New York) as a separate article to cover just the park seems redundant to me. Would it be ok to change the name of the article and make the info on the district a small side-note in a section (since the article itself is just a sentence or two already)?Camelbinky (talk) 21:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, that was alot of good info to know. Hopefully I can find the time to do some more research on both Washington Park's and get two good articles going. I have found quite a bit of interesting info on the Washington Park in Troy, I dont know if its DYK material but to me it was interesting going through the TU archives and read just how bad the park and neighborhood had gotten in the 1980s and then its turn around and a minor controversy over who owned the street Washington Place (the city or the association) and was therefore responsible for maintenance of it.Camelbinky (talk) 22:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

IP return

IP user 124.104.18.247 is back again using 124.104.26.207. The IP is restoring information on the David Archuleta that isn't cover by the sources provide. Can you block the IP and maybe do a range block or whatever it's called because the IP always comes back under a new IP mostly every day and makes unconstructive edits on the Regine Velasquez article such as this (the most recent one), this, this and this, saying they are "reverting vandalism".

The Ip is back again using 124.104.22.195. They edit the talk page of Regine Velasquez and added in various new sections using other users signatures, as you can see here. They even left vandalism tags on the user and talk page of User:Maoster, using my old user name signature and using Stifle's signature. This is the one they left on the talk using Stifle's signature and this on is the one left on the user page using my old user name signature. Can you please do something about this? I'm getting tried of reverting the IP's vandalism. Maybe protecting the talk and article? MS (Talk|Contributions) 19:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Advise needed

Dear Sir, I need your advise on an issue. A user Vapblack has been deleting a picture I posted in an article. I have given enough proof about the authenticity of the picture by giving the necessary references, but this user has been consistently deleting the picture even after the given explanation. Kindly let me know what action is to be taken and what is the solution. He thinks that the picture is not correct, but that is his personal opinion. If he knows how Malik Ambar looks like or if he has the picture, why doesn't he post the pic and prove the authenticity of the picture. I'd be grateful if you intervene and look into the matter. Looking forward for your reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nefirious (talk • contribs) 05:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Sir, this picture appeared in the Times of India supplement in the late 90's and the same picture, a black and white version appeared in Sheikh Chand's book ' Malik Ambar' written in urdu language. So, do I need to scan the article with the picture or mention in the caption where the potrait was created. Please let me know, i'll do the needful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nefirious (talk • contribs) 05:17, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

That's not how it really went down =)

I went to the page one day and saw the picture up. I then went to the discussion page and said that I don't think that's how he looked. Some days went by with no reply, then I went and put some links in the discussion page of how malik ambar really looked. Still no response. Then I took the image down and explained why. Still no response, only Nefirious returning the picture. I have a book, African Presence in Ancient Asia with the same picture you will get from a google search. Also the same way one would expect an Ethiopian to look.

On top of that, Nefirious keeps editing my page saying I've been banned from editing anything, with no explanation. I have not done too much wiki editing or been involved too much in the community, but I don't think that's how it works. Check my page history for proof, and check the malik ambar page. Just so I know, if there is a dispute in wikipedia, who am I supposed to speak to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vapblack (talk • contribs) 05:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I have got the facts

I have scanned the copy of the newspaper where the picture was published and also stated the source. I hope the person deleting my post is informed about the same. Sir, please visit the page, I have also scanned a copy of Times of India, Aurnagabad Plus, where his picture was published. The book, Malik Ambar' by Sheikh Chand has the same picture but in black and white, a museum in my city again has the same picture. I have not only contributed the picture for the article Malik Ambar but a lot of other material from books that I have. Sir Malik Ambar is someone whom we look upto, he has erected the very same city where I live today. So I am equipped with more reliable sources. Please consider.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nefirious (talk • contribs) 07:46, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

whitespace issues in Central Troy HD article etc

hey, just trying some changes with L. i actually use Firefox, and did not see whitespaces, think the article looks great. Let me say, by the way, that i felt bad or a bit worried about being perhaps too harsh in my comments at PR about that. It is an awesome article! It really is organized and narrated nicely and works out very well, you did great work with that. Ruhrfisch uses MSIE exclusively or most regularly, and sorted out some tricky issues of appearance in MSIE vs. Firefox for an infobox placement in the Joseph Priestley House article a while back, before its FA, so perhaps he could know some tricks for fixing appearance in this article too.

About making a fully illustrated list out of the 3-item Babylon NRHP list which DTD insists on being a separate article, that would be fine and a bit funny. Glad you have a new camera. I think it is a big advantage to have taken good pics before and figured out, perhaps, some angles and some time of day matters, so perhaps you could take a really great pic that meets the glossy calendar requirements this time around in the NHL pic competition. Good luck! I'm sort of planning/wanting to run our own photo competition for a calendar, too. More about that later. Regards, doncram (talk) 04:30, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, D and I were just messing around while we were both online, he on Firefox and I on IE. He did make the space a little smaller by moving just one pic. Not so disruptive to the flow, IMO. Also, I haven't gotten to the Syracuse stuff in earnest yet, but I do greatly appreciate your input and will be acting on it, soon. Work's nuts and when I get home I'm not thinking too well. Feel free to do the H of L list (you know, I don't think I ever had a class there....even in my one semester of undergrad at SU....My grad classes (just finished in Dec) were mostly in the School of Management, first the "Old" one (which was new when I was an undergrad), and then in the new Whitman School at the corner of Marshall and University. Did have some classes at the Maxwell School, in the newer building...Eggers, I think. Anyway, I wouldn't get the H of L for quite some time, I'm sure.

NRHP Question

I just started writing this and would like to see if you know where I can find an online source for the filing. The best I could find, when I included it here, is this (ctrl+F "District No. 6").

Got a question for you. Do you know if the reference markers along New York State Route 28A, which TwinsMetsFan and I are working history for, are similar to the ones on New York State Route 55A. We have found that NY 28A may have never been maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation but the New York City Board of Water Supply for the Ashokan Reservoir.

Redirect targets for "Downtown Hudson" and "Downtown Troy"

Your comments at the RFD for these would be appreciated. I initially redirected these to Hudson Historic District and Central Troy Historic District. Seeing as these are principal cities with thriving downtowns and that "Downtown X" might be a plausible search term, I redirected the then red links to the historic district articles since there was no separate downtown area articles and it seemed to me the the historic districts encompassed most of the downtown areas of these cities. I'm not sure if separate downtown area articles are appropriate but it seems to me deletion of the redirects is unnecessary. Thanks. --Polaron | Talk 19:13, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Mistaken block notice?

Regarding this edit, I don't see in the logs that User:Larbkai has ever been blocked. Is this a mistake? Paul_012 ^(talk) 07:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

My mistake, then. In that case, however, I don't feel such a block was really warranted. Yes, the user has been creating a large amount of unsourced BLP stubs and uploading images without providing fair use rationales, but those stubs usually consist only of facts and statistics and so don't contain any potentially libellous information, and on the whole I don't feel that his contributions "have the effect of disrupting progress towards improving the articles" as described at Disruptive editing. Also, the user was never specifically warned against continuing such edits, since the numerous messages on his talk page were mostly regarding file sourcing/copyright problems and not his pattern of editing.

In any case, the user seems to be using a sock-puppet to circumvent the block and is now editing under the name User:Megazawa07. Perhaps another block is forthcoming, but I'd like to imagine we could first try and educate the user on the basic Wikipedia policies he still seems unfamiliar with. --Paul_012 ^(talk) 05:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I've been at Wikipedia for a couple years now, probably done around 9000 edits, and had a number of disagreements with people, but this is the first time that i've ever been moved to waste my time typing this out to an admin: you've honestly made a 100% mistake in your poorly formed decision on AIV concerning this user. On one hand, it's fine that you make wrong decisions because you have a bunch of pion editors (myself included) at your disposal, who will go on cleaning up after you: wasting time, breaking 3RR; on the other hand, it would be nice if you made better decisions.

I concur with your revert. Adirondack Park and Forest Preserve are legal designations created by the State of New York.

Hi, maybe you could check the Hudson, New York article, especially the history section and provide some inline citations since that article is lacking some where they're needed.

Also only one of the historic districts in the city is linked in the article. Most of the individual NRHP entries in Hudson don't appear in the city article. Maybe you could improve that. --Matthiasb (talk) 12:56, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Interesting issue on copyright

Don't know if you followed at all, but did you notice that when the Democrats took over in the NYS Senate in January that they revamped the entire website? It looks great; I'm not putting Dems on a higher pole than Reps, but it seems when they come to power, they're more interested in the tech generation (Obama, as another example; and Congress when that switched too). The State Senate now offers its content under CC-BY-NC-ND-3.0 (scroll to bottom of home page). I'm intrigued that they even know what Creative Commons is; but why does New York State care whether its publications are copyrighted? Why don't the states offer their works in PD like the feds? What do they gain from it? I guess I'm just babbling a bit. I saw the CC logo and was intrigued and impressed to see they were using it, but disappointed at the same time to see that it wasn't really free. And on a somewhat related note, why is a "public document" not considered to be in the "public domain"? What's the legal difference? wadester16 14:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I think this may be OR, but..

This (pages 64 and 65) is where I have gotten some information regarding Clinton Square. The proposal for improvements to the square that this publication speaks about seems to have been carried out, as there are photos in several books showing the square looking as the diagram shows; however, there I can not find any source that specifically says that the proposal was done, or even when it was built; one proposal, the "proposed plaza in front of the railroad station" wasnt built until over 70 years later (the railroad station today being Kiernan Plaza and the "proposed plaza" being Tricentenial Park) and other proposals were never carried out. Therefore it seems, to me at least, that it would be OR to compare a 1913 photo of crappy Clinton Square and a photo of 1920's photo of a beautified Clinton Square and say "obviously the plan was carried out as you can see". So is this a case of where "ignore all rules" comes in, or does the lack of a source simply keep the renovation of the square out of the article for now?Camelbinky (talk) 22:04, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. Am I correct in interpreting the policy you sent me to as saying that as long as I put an image of Clinton Square after the renovations (which must have happened sometime between 1913 and 1925) it is ok to state that the renovations done? A sentence along the lines of "Sometime between 1913 and the mid-1920s Clinton Square was remade and beautified".Camelbinky (talk) 03:38, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, if the change was made due to changes in the MOS, then this needs to be addressed on a project-wide level. – TMF 20:11, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Albanian response

I can understand wanting to use something different than Albanian to keep people from being confused, and I had pretty much guessed that is why someone (did not know it was you) had not used Albanian; but Albanyite isnt a word, and more importantly it isnt the name of someone from Albany. As the Albany, New York article states in the infobox the demonym for Albany is Albanian. (I am not the editor who added it, but it is the name I have always heard, you may want to check the history and find and ask that particular editor if he/she has a source). I am more concerned with being correct than with people being thinking there are Albanians from Albania in Albany (which I am sure there are some, since the nearby Utica-Rome Metro Area has one of the largest Albanian/Kosovar populations in New York). Even linking the word to Albanian would go to a disambiguation page which since March 2008 has had listed as one of the possible meanings- A resident of the city of Albany, New York; therefore linking that in the article could help those confused find that Albanian can mean a person of Albany along with Albania (and a couple other places, such as an ancient kingdom in Azerbaijan) Having Albanyite in a Wikipedia article encourages the spread of that word into the mainstream, Wikipedia should not be about creating new words/concepts for the ease of the masses because some may get confused, that's why there is the bluelinks to educate further on terms.Camelbinky (talk) 21:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
