Thanks for creating W. D. Lyons, FloridaArmy!
Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
For this subject, the court case Lyons v. Oklahoma appears more notable than the person. If reliable sources predominantly and consistently discuss a person in relation to a broader subject or event, it makes more sense to write about the event.

- Yes, you may be right @Animalparty, on the other hand that is the name of the appeal of the original case where he was found guilty of the triple murder. I also prefer the focus on the human being involved who suffered the beatings by police and gross miscarriages of justice rather than a title focused on the name of ine of the legal cases that punished him. FloridaArmy (talk) 20:35, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- I went ahead and moved it to the case, as most mentions of Lyons are in reference to the Supreme Court and/or Thurgood Marshall. We should follow reliable sources when possible, not seek to 'right the great wrongs' of history by granting undue emphasis to people or events. This doesn't mean Lyons the person and the events that made him known can't be described in the article (e.g. in a "background" or "defendant section), but that the broader context should be emphasized. Just as we don't have articles for every minor fictional character in a book, we need not have biographies for every name that appears in a Thurgood Marshall biography. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:05, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- We'll have to agree to disagree. The murders and trial were extremely notable. The man at the center of it all is veruly notable. The Supreme Court appeal was just one part of it and as you note a footnote in his career. The grislt murders and man accused and convicted are from my perspective the real story. Have you looked for contemporary coverage? FloridaArmy (talk) 22:27, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Deleting useful redirects is not G6 non controversial cleanup. Please restore this useful redirect of take it to a redirects for deletion discussion if you don't think it's useful. If you don't want to wait for a bot to fix a double redirect you can certaibly do it yourself."
- How can a double redirect be "useful"? If you create any more, I will certainly (or even "certaibly", as you put it) delete them. Deb (talk) 06:49, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- A double redirect is simple a redirect that hasn't yet been fixed by a bot to bypass the intermediate redirect page. It is useful for the same reason any redirect is useful. What are you not getting? FloridaArmy (talk) 11:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Tiffany Zulkosky
You ask "Are there female tribe members serving in the Alaska Legislature outside Alaska? Not being snarky. I might be missing something." Personally, I typically view statements such as that to be a case of grasping at straws to come up with an accolade for someone. Just some general background, Alaska Natives typically don't use the term "tribe" except in a legal sense. This doesn't carry quite the weight it does in other states because SCOTUS decided in Alaska v. Native Village of Venetie Tribal Government that Indian Country is a void concept in Alaska due to the passage of ANCSA. Venetie and neighboring Arctic Village are a special case, as they were established as an IRA reservation sometime around the early 1940s, then chose to accept fee simple title to the reservation's lands rather than participate in the corporation scheme established under ANCSA. That's a little bit of a tangent, but yes, there are tribal organizations, just not quite in the more familiar sense down south. Anyway, there are Native women serving in other state legislatures, which is likely the intent of that particular specificity. Here is one currently serving in the Arizona Senate. My watchlist shows that editors are making a really big deal of Paulette Jordan winning the Democratic nomination for Idaho governor, and she was in the Idaho legislature until leaving to campaign for governor earlier this year. There's a few other states such as New Mexico, Oklahoma and Washington which have strong enough Native constituencies to where it's a pretty good bet that there are others.
My main concern upon seeing this article: there are certain topics in Alaska politics that I try and stay away from because of a possible COI, having been deeply involved in politics behind the scenes during the 1980s and 1990s. Virtually all of the new political biographies created about Alaska politicians the past few years have been persons with ties to a certain political consultant. I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I definitely have a COI as it concerns Chris Birch, a first-term representative who defeated multi-term incumbent Bob Lynn in the primary two years ago and is currently a candidate for Kevin Meyer's seat in the Senate. It makes us appear to be out of touch with reality when Birch's first claim to notability occurred the same year Zulkosky was born, yet no article. There are also other legislators with a more solid basis for notability than Zulkosky who lack articles, apparently for the only reason being that they're white and Republican. So much for NPOV. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 22:38, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. I think members of state legislature are automatically, so to speak, notable, so there shouldn't be a problem creating articles on any of them. What is the preferred terminology for Native Americans in Alaska? Indogenous? Native American? Are they not part of tribes? I will have to read and consider that part of your explanation further. Interesting. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:45, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- The problem I outline with Chris Birch is that he's been my friend for 30+ years, and I've stated as much before, so it's obviously suspect were I to create an article. The pattern of many existing articles also shows plenty of COI, though mostly in the form of legislative staff writing about their bosses. Most admins and other editors who scrutinize that sort of thing take one stance when it comes to content covering the for-profit business sector and entirely the opposite stance if it has to do with the government or non-profit sectors. I prefer to stay away from current legislators as much as I can aside from contributing photos, as we're quite lacking in articles on subjects for which a greater variety of sources are available and a greater basis for notability exists. Putting so much weight on current news headlines leads to short-shelf-life-type POV problems; for example, making a whole lot bigger deal out of Zulkosky's predecessor Zach Fansler than he ended up amounting to being. Then you have the countless one-way judgement pipelines (walled gardens) across the encyclopedia where editors will insist that past legislators aren't notable if they are too far dead or retired to go about hiring a social media consultant to throw their name around certain corners of the web today. We have one editor who stated the following last year about Joshua Wright following his death: "...but having read up on his life as described in the obit, he doesn't seem to pass even basic notability guidelines". Yet, an article exists, with the weakest possible sources imaginable, basically another example of us appearing to portray someone as notable for dying. That editor made other excuses but has not acted on the above statement by nominating the article for deletion. Can you say "paper tiger" (or possibly "full of shit", but that runs into WP:AGF/WP:CIVIL territory)? Good, I knew you could. In reality, Wright was arguably far more notable for being the only African-American practicing dentistry in Alaska for nearly two decades than for being an obscure one-term legislator, according to the sources I've read. Try convincing an editor who spends a lot of time scrutinizing what's on the web today but has probably never picked up a book in their entire lifetime of that, however. Rotsa ruck. You can't have "the sum total of human knowledge", as the famous Jimbo quote goes, when such narrow-minded people have all the time in the world to hang out here and push their agendas.
- Back to your question before my head explodes: Alaska Natives are typically referred to as "Native" or "Alaska Native" depending on the context, at least in the bigger cities where many different ethnic groups coexist. There's also "Eskimo" and "Indian", except that the PC crowd is out to eradicate those terms plus others such as "Chief". Usually, they insert "Inuit" in place of "Eskimo", except that in an Alaskan context, "Inuit" typically refers to indigenous peoples of Greenland and far northern Canada. The ones from major ethnic groups will also frequently refer to themselves by those names (e.g. Aleut, Inupiaq, Koyukon, Tlingit, Yupik, etc.). The closest we come to tribes are with non-profit organizations on the local level, which will either use the term "tribe" as part of the organization's name or the term "tribal" to refer to some or all of its functions. There are also tribal courts. As far as I know, these are loosely overseen by the state court system in much the same way that youth courts are. In other words, I don't believe any of them have sovereignty as a court. Tribal courts mostly deal with child welfare cases, which are sealed in state courts, and operate in communities lacking local media outlets, so it's kinda hard to get good information. There was a tribal court conference here last week. I was hoping to stop by mainly to get photos of Joel Bolger and Jahna Lindemuth, but I suppose that I might have learned something about the system as well had I attended. Hope all this helps.

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Peleg Chandler should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peleg Chandler .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

Hi FloridaArmy. When creating pages, would you please:
- Add appropriate WP:CATEGORIES
- Add appropriate WP:WIKIPROJECTS (particularly including {{WP Biography|living=yes}})
- Use citations of some kind rather than WP:BAREURLS
- Use WP:STUBSORT templates where appropriate
Look, you don't have to do this but it's polite to do so, and you should neither need nor expect other editors to regularly clean up after you. Clean up for good faith new editors is enough of a grind. More haste less speed please. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 07:45, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

- If the Wordpress site is correct (which it could be, despite not being usable as an RS, or even providing any good references to RS), then the order of husbands listed at Adele Lacy is incorrect: Madison Lacy was first, and Walter Futter was second, and Adele Lacy (retaining her ex's surname as her stage name) was Futter's second wife after Patricia Elizabeth Murphy. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 10:43, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

You've been counseled many times about creating articles with flimsy sourcing. This was your article when you finished with it on May 18. The AfD was submitted on May 22, more than enough time for you to have finished your work. Instead, others have finished it for you, which is great! Your account is old enough and you have enough edits to apply for access to Newspapers.com through WP:TWL (One requirement is that you not be currently blocked, so you will need to wait at least until your block expires). I strongly recommend you apply for access with that service and any other services that might be helpful. Your enthusiasm is great, but there is nothing in WP:BEFORE that requires a user to search newspapers.com for an individual, and it is frustrating to deal with your work. Your superior attitude (for instance) compounds this. Relationships between editors is important, and I have working relationships with many editors with whom I have a fundamental disagreement with as regards to what makes an article suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. I've written articles on much less important figures than Lacy or Spicer that, in spite of my many imperfections as an editor, have shown adequate sourcing and tone that they are not contributed to AfD. As you continue to have pages proposed for discussion or deletion, I hope you take it as a sign that you have lots to improve in your editing, because it certainly isn't a sign that any editors have any problem with you personally. Smmurphy(Talk) 16:14, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- I have a read what you've written a couple times and will consider it carefully. At the risk of seeming argumentative, may I ask if you think what you linked to above was a bad start to an article? Perhaps from your comments I should conclude so. Certainly misordering her marriages wasn't ideal. You've been very helpful and I appreciate your efforts so I don't want to be argumentative. But I do take ossue woth some of your points such as the idea that articles should be finished after a few days. I guess the problem is I fundamentally disagree that articles should emerge finished. I see Wikipedia and its articles as works in progress. So that article stub you libked to looks to me like an article off to a great start. A welxome addition. And I don't.see those adding content loke that as the problem or time wasters. Those who take those articles to deletion and fight to eliminate what isn't perfected or finished are in my opinion the problem. Please always free to scold me or offer advice. Obviously my editing has upset some people. On the other hand I've received thanks and barnstars from others. It's hard to please everyone but I certainly understand your points and frustrations. I would love to do better. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- Consider Wikipedia:Your first article, in particular, the bolded question in the introduction: "does this topic belong in an encyclopedia?" which is followed with an explanation: "We generally judge this by asking if there are at least three high-quality sources that a) have substantial discussion of the subject (not just a mention) and b) are written and published independently of the subject ... Everything here is based on high-quality independent sources, and without them, we generally just cannot write an article..." An article in the mainspace absolutely should emerge in a form that makes it somewhat clear that a topic belongs in an encyclopedia. There are exceptions to the idea that three high-quality sources are necessary. I have issues with how SNG and GNG are used. But I hope you do keep improving! Best, 16:56, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, sorry you got a block, its best to avoid arguments if possible and if you get annoyed take a break instead of responding.(ive had a few arguments lately and they wear me out). Thanks for your AFD contributions, have you considered reviewing at Articles for Creation as they have a big backlog, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 14:17, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Atlantic 30, I have considered it but I already feel a bit overhwoemed trying to keep up with article deletions discussion and my own article work. That's not to say I wouldn't be glad to lend a hand onany specific projects if I can be of help. Take care. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:03, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
There was already an article for Harrison at William Henry Harrison (state legislator), which has a little more specific, so I merged (and added to) your article into that one.
Thanks for the information. From what I read about him in various sources, he's an interesting man!–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:21, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note and for merging. I don't think that page was included on the disambiguation page, which should be updated with the actual article name (although a redirect as least gets people to the right place). One issue or question is whether he ever actually served as a state legislator. I believe African Americans were blocked from serving by their colleagues in the state legislatures after that election. It's difficult and troubling subject matter. And it's sad we don't know more about these leaders and what became of them. FloridaArmy (talk) 21:17, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I don't think he served - or at least not much. He and Barnes were denied their seats initially. I wondered about putting that in and information about Harrison's reporting of voting irregularities (colored republicans denied voting, some that did vote had their ballots ripped up), etc.
- I am not thinking that he lived real long... the only person that I could find in a census was a married man who did not write (found in testimony that he could read, but not write) in 1870. (Since the Klan was very active... and he testified against them in 1871 or shortly after, I wonder if there might have been mischief involved.) I couldn't find anything more in official records about him after that. There is a lovely article about him that I used in a reference from the Reflections newsletter.–CaroleHenson (talk) 21:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rayart Pictures
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 Rayart Pictures 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly 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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello,
Thanks for your addition to the lead for the Walter Futter article. Do you have a source for your addition? Any time you add new content not already in the article, a source is needed. See MOS:LEADCITE. And, any claims, like "best known" need citations.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:08, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- I believe it's largely covered in the article. Which part of it are you disputing? FloridaArmy (talk) 15:27, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- 1) "His most well known work" and 2) "which combined footage filmed in the field mixed with staged Hollywood set pieces and comedic quips".
- Both of which are good points... and I think I have read in two different newspapers. I just don't remember where.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:30, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Here's some coverage of how Africa Speaks was made with spliced footage. I've seen it noted elsewhere as well but a quick search and scan didn't turn up the source. The expedition was funded by a media tycoon in Demver and the expedition was at least a few years before the film so the "partnering" wording needs fixing. As far as the most wrll known I eill have to take a look. Ot spawmed a Disney film and Abbott and Costello feature. Just noting that wouldnbe fine with me. But I will see what I can find for it being his best known work. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:50, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- I reworded to "had success with". One of the sources notes it was profitable with Columbia, it spawned the RKO sequel India Speaks, imitation films, etc. iMDB said it's his best known work and I believe that's true but I can't find solid sourcing for the assertion. This source calls it a popular film. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:01, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Both of which are good points... and I think I have read in two different newspapers. I just don't remember where.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:30, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ok, I will take a look at those sources.
- As an FYI, there are a couple of really good tools for formatting citations. Wikipedia:ProveIt can be used for any kind of citation, you just fill in the fields and then press "insert" at the insertion point and the tool will insert a beautifully formatted citation. There is also [4]. You just copy in the link for a google books source, verify that you have the right page number and it formats a lovely citation for a google book. Love them!–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:15, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Using the query ["Africa Speaks" "Lowell Thomas" narrated OR narration sets] (and other queries), I am still not finding anything about being parts filmed on Hollywood sets. And, I didn't find it in the source you mentioned. Can you help find a source? Maybe I've been using the wrong search criteria.
- Thanks for the sources for "popular"; I added that.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:51, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure it's covered in that source on pages 137 and 138. Try this link? FloridaArmy (talk) 17:57, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the sources for "popular"; I added that.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:51, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- I am not seeing anything there about narration or about part of the film being made on Hollywood sets/stage. I know that I saw it in a newspaper, but I am not finding it now - and there are hundreds of articles about the film. Argh!–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Aaaahhhhh, thanks for the addition! I kept reading for Hollywood sets and totally missed it! I made some edits to the wording and combined the two same-source citations. See what you think.18:30, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Categories
When writing articles, please make sure to place them in the appropriate categories. Eg. for a bio, [year] births and {year} deaths. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 16:09, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note Eddy. When you add cats you use an automated feature? I've had a lot of trouble trying to do them in the past. Including having ones I added removed by other editors. I'd rather leave it to experts truth be told. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:16, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- I use HotCat at times for adding categories. You can install it if you read the WP article. Not sure how you had trouble adding categories, it's pretty simple and can be done manually. It's NOT something to be left to the experts, anyone can do it. Use the guide I set before. For films you can do [Category:[year] films] or the like. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 16:27, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Pardon the interuption, but I think I know what she means. It is sometimes hard to get the correct category. Sometimes there are more apt subcategories... and sometimes it's a little difficult to find the correct name for a category. Easy ones are years films are made, like EDDY mentioned. Another two easy ones are [Category:[year] births] and [Category:[year] deaths].

Hi,
Thanks for the new article about B-Line Trail in Bloomington, Indiana. I see that the article is tagged because there is only one source.
Do you have other sources, by chance, for the article?–CaroleHenson (talk) 14:17, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- I believe this source documents some federal funding the trail got. this article has coverage related to it as does this one covering a proposed extension. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:23, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- I am not able to read these. The first one is a snippet, and besides that doesn't state that the B-line trail is in Bloomington (i.e., there could be another trail of that time in another city). The second and third are articles that can only be read by subscription users.--–CaroleHenson (talk) 14:37, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- It tried to add an article on the raole line and trail's pollution history but had trouble becaise the link address was blocked. I tried trimming the google part but now the link doesn't work. Perhaps searching Brownfield and B-Line trail you can find it? Indeed there do seem to be other B-Line trails so perhaps disambogiation is warranted. I saw one in Cali and I believe one in Pacifoc Northwest. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:40, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- I am a little confused. How are you reading the article if you cannot see it? I get a 404 article on your 3rd source. Do you have a subscription for the second source? The content has to be verifiable. (Although, if you do have a subscription and can read the entire article, then it passes - because someone else with a subscription or access to a hard copy could verify it.)–CaroleHenson (talk) 14:49, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

The pdf file has a lot more details on the history and pollution, but that source works for a bit on funding of cleanup. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:14, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Two thoughts: 1) maybe you will have been luck searching the original source site: https://www.in.gov (my computer is still spinning on the search) or 2) just include the information from the source you can find right now.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:18, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
This is another one source article.
It's absolutely your perogative to create bare-bone articles with just one source, but it would be really nice to round out the articles rather than leaving a string of tagged articles, or articles nominated for deletion.
It will help your Wikipedia street-cred quite a bit to work on creating articles that are at least start level articles with 3+ sources with notable content.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:15, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Every article has to start somewhere. I don't think I leave many articles with one source. But redlinks can get removed so sometimes as stubby start at least gets a foothold. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:19, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. Well, your viewpoint is pretty clear.
- I may stick around and work on adding more to your articles, from past experience it is extremely tiring to do this with people who aren't really interested in learning and making better articles. It becomes a seemingly never-ending effort.–CaroleHenson (talk) 16:17, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Almost every article I stumble on needs work of some kind. Please focus on articles and areas you enjoy! This is a volunteer project. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:10, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- That's exactly the point! There are a lot of articles that need work, and it's discouraging when a single user is creating lots of articles that need work rather than trying to make them at least fair "stub" or "start" articles that don't need a lot of work. I do enjoy historical biographies, as an example, so I will work on those that interest me and tag the articles that need work. I guess there is nothing more that needs to be said.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Edit Conflicts
Please be sure to pay attention to the Edit Conflict warnings that appear while editing articles. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 16:18, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- I noted the edit conflicts in my edit summaries. I'm not sure why I wasn't granted basic courtesy to work on an article while it had an under construction tag on it? Unfortunateoy I got interrupted early on. But I'm not sure why there's any need for a rush. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:26, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- Draft space is the correct, and only, place for editors to work on incomplete articles, which is why I moved your under-construction article there. Never mind. Exemplo347 (talk) 16:29, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- I noticed this problem at AN edit warring and I believe that as per WP:DRAFTIFY once the article creator has objected to the article being moved to draft space the mover must place it back in mainspace and then nominate for deletion. See what you think, if you agree with me User:Exemplo347 you might want to withdraw your notification and nominate for deletion. Dom from Paris (talk) 17:03, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Betty Bartley - Filmography section
I am going to revert your edit again because: 1) You have a list of only one item 2) Her work is included in the body of the article 3) She doesn't have a huge body of work and a filmography section is not needed... and even calls attention to the fact that she doesn't have a large body of work (i.e., calls to attention notability question).
This is your third attempt to add a one item list. Why is this important to you?–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:25, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- As I noted in my edit summar filmography sections are recommended by the stlye guide. She was involved in more than one movie and show. If you insist on excluding it then so be it. I'm going to try to avpid workong on articles you aee because we don't seem tp see eye to eye on how they shouod be written. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:29, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- That may be because you are reading things into the guidelines. Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers doesn't mention anywhere that "filmography sections are recommended". There are guidelines regarding when and how to use tables for filmography information, but that's a different point entirely.
- In addition, WP:COMMONSENSE comes into play. Why create a list of one or a few items, when it is so much better to have it in the body of the article. In fact, there are guidelines regarding focusing content on prose in the body of the article over lists - see WP:Prose. Call me crazy, but when you are having differences of opinion with experienced editors/contributors... you may want to take a beat and see if there is anything to learn from them... rather than automatically assuming that you are right.
- With more time, you may realize that there are conflicting guideliness, where common sense and logic comes into play... and that sometimes the rules don't quite make sense for a situation, i.e. Wikipedia:Ignore all rules.
- I am not saying that I am right all the time. I absolutely am not. And, it's very common to have differences of opinion among experienced editors. But, it's nice to deal with it in a mature, communicative manner. That's my editorial comment, anyway.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:38, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

- As my edit history shows, I was working on the article including the shows she was on in particular. The guidelines seem pretty clear. You reverted me twice, the second time after I explained my reasoning. You also have a history of insisting on your edits many of which I find problematic and time consiming to fix. I don't enjoy arguing and going back and forth. If you want your way have it. But it is a large project and there's plenty of space. No need to crowd in on the articles I'm working up. Have fun. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:42, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- Please explain the exact language that you refer to where "The guidelines seem pretty clear" that states that regardless of the number of films, there should be a Filmography section for actors. That would help me a lot.
- We may have a difference in word choice (per your "problematic" comment, which I notice that you make in one form or another in any complaint to you), but when it comes to guidelines, I think it's very fair to say I have more experience as a New Page and Good Article reviewer. If you do see "problematic issues", though, I am extremely happy to address them.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:50, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
I see that you started the Rennock Lodge article and state that Rennock Lodge is a neighbourhood in Kingston, Jamaica. I added a {{Dubious}} tag to this statement because I couldn't find coordinates for a neighbourhood with that name on maps. I did a google search and I am only finding a school of that name.
I checked your first source, and there's mention of Rennock Lodge... but not specifically that it's a neighborhood. Do you know where this neighborhood is located so that I can add coordinates? Do you have a source that specifically says it's a neighborhood?
As an FYI, I also added an {{Importance}} tag to a statement about someone being a school dropout. Not sure why that is important.–CaroleHenson (talk) 19:45, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- The guy noted was a notorious outlaw. You are welcome to start an article on him. His connection to the neighborhood is that he went to Elementary school there. Probably from there as well but I didn't see that stated in the source.
- Well, perhaps the statement should be reworded then, with a source for that information. It's not important that he dropped out of school.
- Our articles on Kingston, Jamaica and Kingston Parish identify it as a neighborhood. Perhaps you can see how those articles have sourced the neighborhoods they include. FloridaArmy (talk) 19:49, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- I am not finding Rennock Lodge in those sources. One page came back with a page not found message, so I searched the site, and Rennock Lodge returned Nothing Found.
- I did more searching on other maps and all the Rennock Lodge returned was the school. I am not finding anything that says Rennock Lodge is a neighbourhood. Hmmmm. Very weird I cannot find coordinates on any map except for the school if it's a legitimate neighborhood... and that the electoral page for Jamaica doesn't show it as a neighborhood.–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:01, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- A search of the Kingston government website returned no results. What is your goal for this page? I am wondering if this can be turned into another article? Or, should it be deleted outright? Other?–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:09, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Your recent edit to Rennock Lodge appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Meters (talk) 22:02, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with Meters, I am not seeing what makes Dennis Barth notable. He's mentioned in a song, he killed two policemen, and he escaped jail twice. Is there something else that makes him notable?–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:30, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- You don't resolve a notability tag by removing it. Please see the "provide significant coverage of it beyond its mere trivial mention" portion of the notice and read up about notability.
- As an aside, thanks for coming back and filling bareurls after the article is tagged and creating articles with more than one source.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:40, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- When I first removed Barth from the article he had no article. FloridaArmy restored the edit, then created a redirect to a non-existent article, and only then created a stub of an article. We edit conflicted on the warning and the actual content creation. Next time please WP:WRITETHEARTICLEFIRST. Meters (talk) 03:51, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Rockfort
Please slow down on the Rockfort articles, Rockfort (Jamaica) and Rockfort (Kingston, Jamaica). (You moved the one article while I was working on it). I am hoping that it's just a timing issue and that you didn't ignore that I posted a discussion at Talk:Rockfort (Jamaica), when you started the second article on the community/area.
Let's get our facts straight first and please comment at the article page discussion.–CaroleHenson (talk) 02:19, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
- I moved the article at 1:18 and began working on the community's article after you changed the subject matter of the original article. What time did you post on the talk page? Let's keep article related discussions on the appropriate article pages. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:35, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
- It seems like I should not answer here, because you removed my last remark. And, it would be strange to add this to the article page. So, I am confused. Let's move on and just talk about the articles themselves. Deep breaths, slow sorting out, and like you've said, focus on fun and not (edit) warring!–CaroleHenson (talk) 02:43, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Articles
Hi, sorry to bother you but I said I would advise you of other editors concerns before they might take you to ANI and you could be blocked. Basically can you please start aricles in draftspace or userspace such as User:FloridaArmy/Sandbox/Article1 and finish them before posting them on mainspace. While they are in draft or userspace you can ask other editors such as CaroleHenson (talk · contribs) or others to help you with them if you choose. Also please follow WP:BRD to the letter otherwise you could be blocked over that. Please accept this advice or you could be forced to anyway or blocked, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 20:17, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
- I would be happy to help out with that approach, which would be much less stressful, and could be a fresh start between us.–CaroleHenson (talk) 21:33, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Ruth Currie McDaniel
Hello, FloridaArmy,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Ruth Currie McDaniel should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruth Currie McDaniel .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,
Onel5969 TT me 11:39, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
The article John R. Holmes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
There is no evidence of notability.
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}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –CaroleHenson (talk) 13:14, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
Edit warring report
By you reverts and providing no feedback at the edit warring report I take it you have no response to the concerns of other editors? --NeilN talk to me 13:42, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- My response is to do my best to make useful contributions to the encyclopedia as best I am able. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:28, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
