Speedy deletion nomination of Lydia Crosswaithe

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 Lydia Crosswaithe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Wgolf (talk) 18:01, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Josie Lloyd

Hello, Strudjum. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Josie Lloyd, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Josie Lloyd to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Fylbecatulous talk 22:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:06, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Other Men's Women

Please do not add unsourced opinion to Wikipedia articles, as you did to this one. All opinions presented must be supported by citations from reliable sources. As the bulk of your "Film notes" (not a section title we normally use) entry was unsourced (the only source presented was a dictionary, which is not, of course, sufficient to support specific opinions about the film), it has been removed. Please do not re-add it until you can support every opinion, and every fact for that matter, with a citation from a reliable source. For more on what sources are considered reliable, please see WP:RS. Re-adding the information without sourcing will simply result in its being removed again, by myself or by other editors, and would constitute edit warring, which is not allowed under Wikipedia policy. Your contributions are certainly appreciated, but they must comply with our policies or be rejected. (See WP:Verifiability, which says, in part, "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable. ... Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed.") Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:54, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Also, the "Plot" section is intended as a straight-forward presentation of the events of the movie as they happen, and as can be seen by anyone watching it. The plot section should not include any analysis or interpretation of the meaning of events or of the characters' feelings or emotions, as these would require specific citations from reliable sources. Quoting yourself as a source is not acceptable, as your qualifications as to reliability or expertise is unknown. Simply write what you see occurring in the film, and do not characterize it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:28, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Memphis, Tennessee

I'm not sure why you're adding extensive content to the crime section of Memphis, Tennessee, when there is an entire article called Crime in Memphis, Tennessee? Magnolia677 (talk) 17:43, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your inquiry. Both the subsection on crime in the main entry on Memphis and the related linked "article" you mentioned have references and statistics that needed updating. While I have neither contributed to nor edited the content of the linked article on crime in Memphis, the noted subsection in the main entry had been tagged by another editor as needing updating (since the most recent homicide statistic there dated from 2009). I therefore do not think the inclusion of my three referenced sentences in the main entry (providing updated figures for 2014-2016) constitute an "extensive" addition.

Pre-code Hollywood

Please do not change "Warner Bros." to "Warner Brothers" again. The name of the company was never "Warner Brothers", it was always "Warner Bros." Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:43, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Ken, will do. On the Wikipedia page on "Warner Bros." it does note the full name as an accepted alternative usage. I had changed it simply to avoid the "visual complication" of having a period within the body of the sentence. I certainly defer to your expertise on this and will not make any such additional changes. Thanks. --Neil (Strudjum)

The Crowd (1928 film)

Twice now you've added CN tags to this article when the source for the information tagged has been right there in the paragraph it is part of. Every single sentence doesn't need to have a source indicated, as long as the source provided at the end of a number of sentences or a paragraph covers the information.

Take part in a survey

Hi Strudjum

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Thanks for uploading File:Frank McGlynn Sr and other actors in Lincoln in the White House, 1939.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those.

File:Actor Frank McGlynn as Abraham Lincoln in 1939 short.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Proposed deletion of File:Actors in 1939 short Lincoln in the White.jpg

The file File:Actors in 1939 short Lincoln in the White.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free screenshot being used in a decorative manner in Lincoln in the White House#Plot. While screenshot are sometimes allowed when they help the reader understand some particular technical aspect or techinique involved in the film making process, they are pretty much never allowed to illustrate plot points, etc. as explained in WP:FILMNFI because the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is almost always lacking.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:20, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically User:Strudjum/sandbox, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:17, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Please stop re-adding File:Actors in 1939 short Lincoln in the White.jpg to your user sandbox. Non-free files cannot be used there per Wikipedia non-free content use criterion #9.

The Quiet Man

You are making a mass of changes to The Quiet Man film article - some of which are unnecessary. If you have to make changes, please ensure that you make them in one or two occasions - the number of changes you have made make it hard to follow and is wasting time. Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 12:41, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

The Quiet Man

Thank you very much for your feedback, David. With regard to the extent of changes I made to the page, my work was in response to a Wikipedia notice that the plot entry for the film was not up to "encyclopedic standards" in its content and style. No other changes, at least on my part, are planned. Thanks again for contacting me. Strudjum (talk) 15:23, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

File:Actor Gage Clarke on 1962 episode of Gunsmoke.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Paul Brinegar

In this edit, you added an item from the 1920 census as the citation for Brinegar being born in Tucumcari, New Mexico. While I know his father lived in Tucumcari during the time of Paul's birth, this census document is from La Luz in Otero County, New Mexico. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong. Can you help me understand how it establishes that Brinegar was born in Tucumcari? Thank you. →Wordbuilder (talk) 17:40, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Paul Brinegar

Thanks for your inquiry. As to your question, the 1920 federal census was used to document and confirm Paul Brinegar’s parents' names and his father's livelihood. The specific location regarding Brinegar's birth is cited in many other records, including various 1995 obituaries, such as the accompanying one from the Los Angeles Times. Thanks again for your question. It led to my rereading and changing the syntax in the related sentence. As previously written, one could have interpreted that Brinegar had three parents (Paul, Louise, and that "farmer")! Strudjum (talk) 21:05, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. I'm working to document his place of birth in an effort to have "Birthplace of Actor Paul Brinegar" signs installed in my hometown of Tucumcari. I will take a look at the other sources. →Wordbuilder (talk) 21:16, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Paul Brinegar

Glad you’re doing that. My own research on Brinegar has been pretty limited, although I have always liked him, even outside his most widely recognized role as "Wishbone". Good luck. Let me know if I can be of help in any way. Strudjum (talk) 21:26, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Format catch on Born to Kill page

Thanks, User:Strudjum, for catching that I had inadvertently deleted the closing syntax for column format in the cast section of Born to Kill (1947 film), and a minor editing error. Keep up the good work. Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 12:40, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@Wikiuser100: Thank you again, Wikiuser100, for the acknowledgment. I have been a Wikipedia citizen and enthusiastic supporter for many years now, and I do strive to create and edit pages with the utmost care, doing my small part in making this great evolving resource better each day. Although I work predominantly in the silent and pre-Code eras of film, I also enjoy film noir as well as other topics outside the realm of motion pictures. Recently, I noticed that the page on Born to Kill (1947) seriously lacked content regarding its production, critical reactions to the film, and the public controversies that swirled about it after its release. I have enjoyed researching and adding information and references to that page and to working–albeit it indirectly–with colleagues like yourself. We Wiki citizens are mostly just faceless pen names and numbers to one another, so it's nice whenever we can touch base directly like this. Stay well and thrive in 2021! (Strudjum: talk)

Greetings, Strudjum. I have replied to your most recent at my Talk page, but thought I would share a few quick things here, only to recognize you are indeed familiar with two I saw missing there - using a colon (or multiple colons) to successively indent new entries in a string, and signing one's entry with four tildes. Like everything here, it is learn-as-you-go. A couple of other tips also occurred, but escape me now. One thing that does remain is the observation that you are free to edit your User page and either delete the good-faith but errantly placed entry there by another user, or merely transfer it as you see fit to your Talk page.

Also, I'm sure you are familiar with them, but if not there are several valuable tools available under the User drop down menu, helpful in both tracking one's own work and in evaluating the bona fides of another editor. These include the highly comprehensive XTools under Analysis, which gives a very complete picture of anyone's work - including number, type, frequency of edits, etc.; pages created; most frequently edited pages; block and user rights changes logs; and more. There are also shortcuts to pages created, the user's edit summary decorum, and their most frequently edited pages, all valuable tools for getting a quick sense of the type of contributor one may become engaged with. With their User and Talk pages, of course, speaking loudly as well.

You are fortunate to have the background, time, and temperament to be a highly valued contributor here. Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 14:11, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Your edits on Daisy (advertisement)

Hi @Strudjum — I am re-formatting an article, and I appreciate your edits on the article "Daisy (advertisement)", but I do want to ask why have you (a) added a you-tube link (b) changes the caption to "without President Johnson's voiceover". I guess the advertisement is complete and have President Lyndon Johnson's voice over. The video is taken directly from the Library of Congress, and is also a Featured media. if you have any source stating the advertisement to be incomplete, please cite, else revert your edit. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 03:58, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, thank you very much for contacting me. Yes, as stated in the narrative adjacent to the video clip on the page. The clip shown is not complete. A full clip with President Johnson's voiceover (copy as preserved in the LBJ Library) can be reviewed on YouTube at the noted external link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cwqHB6QeUw). As a long-time contributor to Wikipedia, I work extensively in the realm of film and video, chiefly expanding “stubs” and creating needed pages on films of the early silent era. I work in other areas, however; and, in fact, I vividly remember viewing this 1964 political ad as a child and afterwards had many sleepless nights. I do think the caption needs, in addition to the added runtime reference, to be qualified as not “complete” owing to the absence of the voiceover. Thanks again for the follow-up and inquiry.

Hi @Strudjum – Thanks for replying. I think there's some mis-understanding, either by you or me. The video on Wikipedia (this) is of 60 seconds length. The video link you gave (this) is of 66 seconds length, in which the first six seconds is a still frame. Rest, both the videos are exactly same, and have LBJ's voice-over ("These are the stakes ...... or we must die .... Vote for President Johnson on Nov. 3, the stakes ...) As to the ad being "incomplete", could you please let me know which part is missing. I intend to make this article a Good article, and eventually nominate for Did you know section. I also created another article on Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 presidential campaign. I appreciate your work on another article, and helping me out with this one. It's a pleasure to talk to someone, who has actually seen this ad on television! Please let me know if I am missing anything. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Kavyansh.Singh – Yes, there are numerous copies of this ad that run at varying lengths. After reviewing discrepancies in several different versions (some with LBJ's voiceover, some without), the copy you have included certainly can be accurately cited as "complete", although I would recommend maintaining the added runtime reference as a caption standard for videos and to differentiate clearly this particular digital copy from others that lurk on different sites with varying runtimes. Sorry for any confusion. I'm a retired historian, so I know all too well that the devil is in the details. Great work!

No issues at all. I'll maintain the runtime reference, while adding various citations. I was surprised when you stated that you had "sleepless nights" after watching this ad in 1964. This ad is still a masterpiece. It's an absolute pleasure talking to you! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:30, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, for a 10-year-old boy that ad was a traumatic thing to watch, especially in the highly unsettled post-environment of the Cuban Missile Crisis and President Kennedy’s assassination. I donated to a museum years ago the identification necklace or "dog tags" that were issued to me at my elementary school so, as one official explained to us children at the time, “Your bodies can be recognized in the event of a nuclear attack." Don't worry about me, though, I slept well last night! All the best.

File:Actor John Dehner in 1957 film Revolt at Fort Laramie.jpeg listed for discussion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Actor John Dehner in 1957 film Revolt at Fort Laramie.jpeg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing the image I uploaded to the page regarding actor John Dehner. I do think the image in question is an important illustration and directly relevant to the adjacent narrative about the subject's work in a specific film, the 1957 production Revolt at Fort Laramie. The image complements that narrative and provides readers with visual information relating to the actor's physical appearance, costuming, and the historical context of that particular film, which was Dehner's first starring screen role in his long career. If I need to improve my justifications linked to the image's "Details", I would appreciate having your recommendations. Thanks again.Strudjum (talk) 13:50, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Just one follow-up: the screenshot, as noted in its Details, is from one of several full copies of the film freely available to the public on several streaming platforms, including YouTube, Dailymotion, and others. Strudjum (talk) 14:11, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Adding the full lyrics for a song in blatant violation of WP:COPYVIO

Strudjum, I've very confused as to how an experienced editor like yourself wouldn't be aware that adding the full lyrics for a song is a clear violation of Wikipedia's policies on copyright at WP:COPYVIO. Please do not do this. Ss112 13:53, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your notification and for deleting the lyrics. I certainly will not make that error again. Have a great weekend. Strudjum (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
