Hello. Why did you revert my edit where I added Esther E. Baldwin to the Marlton, New Jersey page in the Notable People section? She was born in the town, and I included a ref to a RS. --Rosiestep (talk) 23:32, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Welcome back?!?!

I hope that you're back editing. There's so much to do from helping me download 2010 Census data for ZCTAs to expanding articles in the area to help combat a rather toxic wave of deletionism. I hope that your recent edits are the start of your return and not just a quick visit. I look forward to hearing from you. Alansohn (talk) 04:34, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

No sneaking in here for a quick edit, eh?! Haha, I'm not really back. But I can try to help with the ZCTAs. What do you need? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 05:04, 23 February 2018 (UTC)°

ChrisRuvolo, I'd love to be able to create the same template data for New Jersey ZCTAs to correspond to the same 2010 Census data we created for municipalities and CDPs. Any thoughts? Alansohn (talk) 05:11, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

I think we're talking about the spreadsheet linked here. I'm trying to remember where exactly this was generated. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 07:22, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Griggstown Cow

Do you think it's worth contesting the closing admin's decision in this AFD? I'm fairly sure there are more reliable sources about this topic than those that were discussed there, but I no longer live in New Jersey, so I can't easily find sources about local topics there anymore. If I'm going to contest this deletion I think I'd need your help demonstrating that the topic is notable. --Captain Occam (talk) 09:15, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Page move?

Wouldn't a more appropriate title be County executives of Atlantic County, New Jersey be County Executive of Atlantic County, New Jersey? Seeing as it is a political position such as Mayor of..., Governor of,? Djflem (talk) 20:47, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

• Djflem, that might well make more sense, the only question is the timing. Alansohn (talk) 16:39, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
  • I yield to your discretion. Meanwhile, would at User:Djflem/CEHC and make changes/suggestions? Needs work. Djflem (talk) 14:49, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Djflem - CEHC is a start, but it needs additional expansion. It's hard to believe that one bitter editor with an axe to grind is pointing a gun that forces the creation of articles like this one. And to think that this all started because I voted to Keep an article he thought should be deleted, to which he did the natural thing by stalking me to my place of residence and starting to delete all articles related to my hometown. Pure spite should never be a reason to delete articles. Sorry that you now have to bear the brunt of this editor's rampage against me and the entire state of New Jersey. Alansohn (talk) 15:27, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for stalking, I agree with Djflem's title for the page, that the capitalized E looks better. However, if you check the AfD, I've listed a whole bunch of similar pages with different naming conventions and it seems to be lowercase e when plural (executives) and capitalized when singular (Executive), so it's really how you want the page to go, Alansohn. In the end it works both ways, but if @Djflem: is making a page in the same category we should at least have consistency across the NJ pages. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 18:58, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Semmendinger, I agree on the title and I'd move it once the AfD is closed successfully. Thanks for the suggestion. Alansohn (talk) 21:04, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

• Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
• FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
• Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
• Ceranthor, Numerounovedant, Carbrera, Farang Rak Tham and Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2.

Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points.
