@Cdjp1
Hi, I wrote you a thanks for this Barnstar (Back when you first posted it here)-- but I just figured out that I forgot to "Submit" my edit back then.
So my "Thank You" never posted here then (So sorry).
So I will say now--
Thanks Cdjp1 ! I am really touched. I will try to live up to the kind award that you have given me.
Appreciatively,

Disambiguation pages
Please note that disambiguation pages like Holly Williams are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:
- Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
- Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
- Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
- Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
- Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 22:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

setting aside WP:NOTAFORUM for a moment ...
Why would anyone think that an American town with a low black population = discrimination? You must not be very familiar with the demigraphics of the United States - it's a huge place with extremes in diversity of population ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.61.183 (talk) 02:52, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- @50.111.61.183
- That's why everything I said in that post was a question. I was asking, not accusing.
- For example I asked-- (Paraphrase): 'Is the 1% Black population there a sign of racist practices in rental housing or real estate?'
- I didn't say that it definitely was.
- However most of New York State has a lot of Black people, so I am still curious about Conklin, New York (and the county that it resides in).
- Most importantly however-- I wrote "are their any sources?"
- So speculation (on the Talk Page) was only meant to justify a search for sources. Not meant to be WP:SYNTH.
- Bold face is only used here to emphasize key points.
- Respectfully, Chesapeake77 >>> ♥ Truth 03:11, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- @50.111.61.183
- Update: Broome County in which Conklin is located, has six (6) times as many Black residents as Conklin does.
- I think this justifies a search for (reliable) sources.

Archiving your talk page
Hello again, Chesapeake77! This is just a friendly message to ask you to consider archiving your talk page. Here's a couple good reasons why:
- Archiving is the preferred method of talk page cleanup.
- It makes it easier to find past discussions and link to them.
- There may be circumstances where it would be useful to keep older discussions present on a talk page, to avoid the same issues being repeatedly raised. However, this situation can be better addressed by use of the
{{FAQ}}
template. - Archiving is easy and can be done automatically by a bot.
- Archiving promotes honesty and trust amongst the community.
No worries if you don't want to. But, if you do, I'd be happy to help setup automatic archiving for you. ––FormalDude talk 04:31, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- @FormalDude
- Hey FormalDude! Yes I would really like to start archiving, that would be very helpful. I appreciate the "<nowiki>"code that lets me keep stuff too!
- I have (based on your links) noticed a few different ways to archive and I'm still deciding which format is best for me. I especially like a "standard number format" but I also like the idea of (some) custom archive labels too.
- I'll let you know if I want automated archiving, but I am still deciding.
- Thanks for getting me interested in this!
- Appreciatively,
- Chesapeake77 >>> ♥ Truth 15:33, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- No problem. If you don't want automatic archiving, you can easily archive manually by using a one-click archiving userscript. ––FormalDude talk 14:05, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
