Better source request for File:Andreatruebandw.jpg
Thanks for your upload to Misplaced Pages:
You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:11, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Raspy
Hello Tinton5,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Raspy for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. st170e 15:37, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Emily Ratajkowski
 | On 24 October 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Emily Ratajkowski, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Emily Ratajkowski is featured in the music video for "Blurred Lines", which was the number one song of 2013 in several countries? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Emily Ratajkowski. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

New Jersey articles
Thanks again for your note about Aserdaten, New Jersey, and the link to many yet-to-be-created New Jersey articles. I'd like to get to many listed there, though I'm focusing first on a few lost places. Please have a look at Crossley, New Jersey. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:01, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Delaware Route 1
I was just checking on the status of the GAN review. I noticed you added a GA icon to the article, however the review page was not updated and the talk page wasn't updated. If the article was passed, you should make sure to update all the pages. Dough4872 01:58, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I just updated them. Thanks and great work there. Tinton5 (talk) 04:34, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Marlboro, New Jersey
Hi there. I wonder if you could help me sort out a New Jersey mixup having to do with places in named "Marlboro".
According to the New Jersey Local Name Search, there are 3 places named Marlboro:
- Marlboro, Marlboro Township, Monmouth County
- Marlboro, Stow Creek Township, Cumberland County
- Marlboro Township, Marlboro Township, Monmouth County
According to GNIS, there are 4 places named Marlboro:
- Marlboro, Monmouth County (same as above)
- Marlboro, Cumberland County (same as above)
- Marlboro, Burlington County
- Runnemede (variant name "Marlboro"), Camden County
My concern is that the Misplaced Pages links to these places is a bit messed up. For example:
- Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey
- Marlboro, Cumberland County, New Jersey, and
- Marlboro, Burlington County, New Jersey
...all redirect to Marlboro Township, New Jersey (in Monmouth County).
Another problem is that each of these three settlements named "Marlboro" is a unique unincorporated community, and should not be confused as being a township.
Finally, Marlboro, New Jersey seemed like an attempt to sort this all out. If you look at the edit history, it was once a disambiguation page. Unfortunately, this edit redirected that page to Marlboro Township, New Jersey (in Monmouth County).
Any help fixing this would be appreciated. Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 01:36, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- I had wanted to ask User:Famartin for his thoughts about Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey vs. Marlboro Township, New Jersey and I saw on his talk page that User:Magnolia677 had already started a discussion here. There is a GNIS entry for Marlboro in Monmouth County both under "Civil" and "Populated place". It appears that GNIS will create such paired entries for townships and other municipalities, but that almost all of these pairs are merely two different ways of referring to the exact same place. The Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey article had been converted into a standalone, after nine years as a redirect, using the GNIS entry for the populated place as the sole basis of recreating the article. Given that there appears to be no difference between these two Marlboros and given the lack of any case to the contrary, I reverted the Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey back to a redirect to Marlboro Township, New Jersey. Is there any case to be made to create separate standalone articles for such pairs of GNIS entries, especially as it would seem to be almost impossible to create a meaningful standalone article for the populated place that doesn't merely duplicate material from the article for the municipality?

- The article Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey has been expanded and sourced. It is a real community, and had a post office too. Have a look on ACME Maps and you can see the hamlet at the coordinates provided in the article. I have much much more to add to New Jersey! Thank you all for your help.
