Speedy deletion of Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood

A tag has been placed on Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ravenswing 16:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood

I have nominated Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Recurring edits

Thank you for continuing to watch and fix Collis Potter Huntington. Do you have any idea why a series of anonymous users, or maybe one user with different IP addresses, constantly puts CPH's birthday to April from October? Is there anything we can do about it? Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:53, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know more than what's on the talk page. Apparently there is some disagreement in available records, though there does seem to be a stronger case for October. -- Pemilligan (talk) 00:57, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to "the definitive biography" (Collis Potter Huntington, by Cerinda W. Evans, 2 volumes, Publisher: Newport News, Va. : Mariners' Museum (1954) ASIN: B0056PIFGU) which was written from family materials at the request of the family, it's October. I have no idea where the April date came from, it looks like an old typo that keeps getting repeated.Ellin Beltz (talk) 03:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Anonymous edited again. And left a message to my note on the previous ISP. I changed the page again... Checked that I got all the birthdays correct throughout entire document. Is there anyone to appeal to for help to stop this? Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:26, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Howard County Schools

About this edit

That was not a good edit. Firstly it reverted other changes made too, and those were beneficial changes. Secondly you said "Text says Columbia but references give Ellicott City address and census map says West Friendship." - So why did you not cite new sources? The address "10910 Clarksville Pike (Route 108) Ellicott City, MD 21042" and the map http://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/dc10map/GUBlock/st24_md/place/p2419125_columbia/DC10BLK_P2419125_002.pdf (a stub sticking out "That says "Dist 3, West Friendship 90236" is the one that has the physical offices of the district and that is a part of Columbia CDP) show it as being in Columbia as of 2010 - While there is a West Friendship, Maryland it is not a CDP defined by the US government.

You should understand that USPS city names sometimes don't reflect the actual locations - the USPS city name says "Ellicot City" but the map shows it being in Columbia WhisperToMe (talk) 01:51, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image problem in Ellicott City

FYI, I posted a query under the Village Pump. https://wiki.eso.workers.dev/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#.22Image.22_display_anomaly. We'll see what happens there I guess (if anything). Having said that, they are having some kind of general display problem "until the 9th", but whether it affects this or not, I cannot say. Student7 (talk) 18:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A question

Hi Pemilligan,

You will recognize me as the person who has recently edited the elder scrolls page. While I am new to Wikipedia editing, I would ask that you please explain to me your reversion of my edits to the elder scrolls page. I may seem unqualified to make such edits, but I am the son of one of the writers who worked under Emil Pagliarulo (who you may or may not recognize as the head of writing for Skyrim) and have had my fathers assistance in making these edits. I am not saying that your edits were made incorrectly (although my father is inclined to believe so) but I would at least like to know why. When your read this, please contact me at stevethemonkey42@gmail.com

Sincerely,

Stevethemonkey42 Stevethemonkey42 (talk) 04:19, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Information should come from reliable published sources. What you added at the end of the article was unsourced and seemed like original research. What you're describing above sounds like primary sourcing, which should only be used with care. -- Pemilligan (talk) 04:57, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tri-City Suns

Hey, I noticed that you reverted my edit on Tri-City Suns twice now, and I was hoping that you could explain what was wrong with my edit, so we don't start an edit war or something. spiderjerky (talk) 14:10, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned in the previous edit summary, the Tri-City Suns never played in the American Professional Basketball League according to any reliable sources I can locate. The Atlantic Coast Professional Basketball League changed its name after they played, which I've added to the text this time. I also made a change I've been meaning to for some time, indicating that there are no sources I've been able to find that show they played at all after 2011. -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:48, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alexandria

Here's an explanation of the edits:

1. Wikipedia pages are meant to document history, and the past. Keep in mind the school closed very recently (2016!)
2. Even though the school is not in Alexandria proper it had a postal address of "Alexandria, Virginia" (8333 Richmond Highway Alexandria, VA 22309) so the average person is going to expect that it be there.

Readers expect such information in their articles and I do my best to fulfill that demand. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:34, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting links from Pelham Parkway (road) to Pelham Parkway

Hi, I see you're undoing all my changing of links from Pelham Parkway to Pelham Parkway (road) since the latter was a redirect. I've moved the page back to Pelham Parkway (road) in order to distinguish from Pelham Parkway (neighborhood), Bronx. This naming convention is seen in Gun Hill Road (road), so that is why the redirect exists. Thanks, epicgenius (talk) 02:42, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Cardin, etc., results

Thanks for changing the color of the 2012 independent Senate candidate from Green to yellow. There was a libertarian in the race who got 1.2% of the vote. I have no strong opinion about whether or not that should be included in the chart. It's not inconsequential, but given the low performance (up from 0% in previous election), I wonder if it's necessary. What do you think? Activist (talk) 23:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Schuylkill and Susquehanna Navigation Company edit ... Comment

Hello Pemilligan.

You made an edit to the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Navigation Company article, the "See also" section. Your summary was "/* See also */ MOS:ALSO calls for "a brief annotation when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent" which none of this was..." The style manual notes that Editors should provide a brief annotation when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent, when the meaning of the term may not be generally known, or when the term is ambiguous. I am working on several early Pennsylvania canals that all tied in with each other. The Schuylkill canal article had what I thought was a very useful "see also' section that explained what the various other related canals were. The value to the reader was in the various canals that had part of the same name in them (Delaware and Schuylkill). I made changes to the other articles along the same lines as the Schuylkill canal article. The "see also" section in that article was created by User:Fabartus in 2016. There have been roughly thirty edits since then by other editors and it could be argued that the "see also" material passed consensus at that time. Since you are now an editor in this group of articles on early Pennsylvania canals, can we come up with a consensus on what type to use for this group of articles? I think some of the previous material is relevant and useful to the reader. It should also reflect the good judgment on the part of the editors as the MOS allows. Whatever changes are made to the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Navigation article should apply to the others.

Thanks ... Risk Engineer (talk) 11:39, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Risk Engineer: I wouldn't say that others not editing the sections indicates a consensus; I would call it an oversight. Regarding the style manual, to me the annotations were not brief. For the links themselves, coming in an article about canals and mostly ending with the word "canal", their relevance seems apparent, their meaning should be generally known, and they don't seem ambiguous. -- Pemilligan (talk) 21:43, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Christ Church, Fort Meade

I regret to inform you that the information you claim is correct, regarding Christ Church is Fort Meade, is indeed false.

Regarding the matter of Rev. C.E. Butler: after hours of research, it has been proven that the minister did not commit suicide inside Christ Church. According to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Friday, April 27, 1894, it is clearly stated that "Rev. C.E. Butler, an Epsicopal clergyman, was yesterday found hanging to a bedpost in his room at the Lockner house in Fort Meade, Fla." A second article of proof was found in the Abbeyville Press. The sentence stating that Rev. Butler has been again removed from the Fort Meade Wikipedia page as is was, again...not factual information. Also, this information is not prevalent to the history of Fort Meade.

Regarding changes to the Christ Church, Fort Meade, Wikipedia page: The information from the expansion of the article was taken from hand written documentation by the early founders of Christ Church, official church documentation from church vestry meetings, family historical documentation and from personal knowledge as a member of the congregation and the great-grandson of two of the founding members. Christ Church has been written about in a couple of books about Polk County, FL; however, none of that information was used in this article.

Thank you for your concern in this matter and for respecting our requests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrussellhancock (talk • contribs) 18:08, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is in the source

I'm hardly a defender of Bill Richardson's behavior, but my edit was directly from the cautioning source: [2] "In ordering the documents released, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit also warned that the allegations contained within them are not necessarily proven." Activist (talk) 22:49, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Activist: The text was originally inserted in front of the Daily Beast citation, which did not support it. -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:35, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Richardson / Wen Ho Lee

The Richardson article can perhaps duplicate the material in the Wen Ho Lee article, but should not be isolated to the latter. This grotesque mishandling could not have occurred without Richardson doing his enthusiastic "Inspector Javert" imitation. Perhaps it needs a scalpel rather than a broadsword? Activist (talk) 23:27, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Activist: I still think that the extent of the duplication is too much. -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In my personal opinion, I think it is important, because the article is about Richardson's conduct and readers shouldn't have to go to Wen Ho Lee's article to read it. Richardson, who has in my personal opinion, done many questionable things in his life, tormented this poor man, but was absolutely unable to admit he was wrong to do so. As a result, those non-governmental actors in this tragic affair paid a high six-figure settlement to Wen, but Richardson couldn't back off at the price of publicly losing face, or whatever his problem was. Wen's legal bills were also paid, but Richardson made sure not a penny of the government's substantial payout went into Wen's pocket. Wen, after this horrific experience, pleaded guilty to a single, random, extremely picayune one of the 59 bogus charges that had been levelled against him, that had ruined his life, that had taken his earnings and his pension and his career from him, for no other reason than to make it appear that Richardson's actions were somehow justified or vindicated. Wen pleaded to the single charge so his torment didn't continue. We don't know if this was the reason Richardson did not get a cabinet-level post again, in the Obama administration, or if it was something else that was not disclosed to the public, but he did not get that job, nor would he in the line of presidential succession should some massive tragedy befall those who were higher than he on that list after the Vice-president, the Speaker of the House, the President pro tem of the Senate and other historically senior cabinet members who were not disqualified by either age or place of birth. Even President Clinton apologized to Wen. I would suggest to you that you go through the text and item-by-item remove what you think should specifically not be in the article, and retain that which should stay. I'll trust your judgment on this. Thanks for the discussion. Activist (talk) 17:25, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:FCBL

No, I don't think that's going too far, though I wasn't going to do it, on the grounds that it's easier to destroy than to re-create. But the FCBL is sticking at 7 teams for 2020, without divisional play, and if they should go to divisions again, we can go back into the history for it.

Separately, I've updated the franchise map in Template:FCBL Labelled Map, though patching a PNG file is not the same as having the same sources to work with. This template should use the recommended templates that would let the dots be overlaid onto the image, rather than requiring the image to be redrawn every time a franchise moves/dies/is born.

Preference or policy?

Hi. I prefer using the short form of the citations for most edits, excluding citations for books, etc., and don't know if policy dictates otherwise. I run into a lot of longer form citations that have not been filled out with often helpful information (such as the dates edits have been made). I'm presuming that the short form, that I've been using for fourteen years, is still appropriate. I hope I haven't missed some policy change. I see you've converted some of my cites to the longer form, and I have no problem with you doing that. Do you know of the status? Thanks. Activist (talk) 16:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Kelly/Robert Colbert Maverick Reference

Pemilligan, thank you for finding a reference for Robert Colbert's "Put me in a dress and call me Brenda..." anecdote. I've been meaning to order Linda's book about Jack Kelly for years now. We go all the way back to "Sandra's Maverick Page" back in the 20th century, if I'm not mistaken, and both occasionally contribute comments to the enormous Jack Kelly website "The Tall Dark Stranger There," written by a mutual internet acquaintance from Sandra's site. Did you read her Jack Kelly biography? Was it entertaining? It's interesting that he was first overshadowed by an actual sibling (his movie star sister Nancy Kelly) then eclipsed again by a fictional sibling, James Garner as Bret Maverick. Kelly certainly wasn't a great light comedian like the wondrous Garner (who was in the same league as Cary Grant and Jack Lemmon) but he was really excellent when acting directly with Garner. And a lot of women really adore Jack Kelly to this day. I wish Netflix would cherry-pick the best episodes (which are laid out on the series' Wikipedia page under "Notable episodes") and throw them up on their site to generate a larger audience for Maverick. George Raft Has Risen From the Grave (talk) 01:23, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I saw you on my user page. you seem to have a good track record on Wiki. I'd like to invite you to establish a consensus on the Aaron Coleman talk page. I believe this individual has done questionable actions, and while the accusations are well sourced, the page is more of a sin list and there's little talking about his political positions to balance the article -- therefor violating the neutrality.

Truist Stadium

Well, this is embarrassing. I saw a photo of Greensboro's World War Memorial Stadium, the old baseball stadium, with an article about A&T using what was being called Truist Stadium. Knowing that was the name of a baseball stadium in Winston-Salem, I immediately checked to make sure everything was right. Forgot one thing. I didn't actually read the newspaper article, which doesn't say the baseball stadium is the one A&T is using. Thanks.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your plot Copyedit at the Storm Fear article

Thank you user pgmilligan for correcting a copyedit error I made on the above page. Somehow my eyes transposed the word “also” from the prior sentence and put it into the sentence you edited (which is why I believed its original ending with “as well” following “also” was redundant).

C.A. Buttons (talk) 21:37, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The primary issue with your edits so far is that Wikipedia relies on material sourced to published independent reliable sources. As the owner of the team, you aren't independent of this subject, nor have you cited anything published.

However, a larger issue is your close relationship to this subject which runs afoul of Wikipedia's confict of interest rules. Editors with a conflict under this policy are strongly discouraged from directly editting such articles; they are instead encouraged to suggest edits on the article's talk page by using the {{edit COI}} template.

I'm not experienced at giving detailed advice on these subjects. A good place to ask questions is Wikipedia:Teahouse. Reviewing the policies at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Reliable sources will probably be helpful, too.
