== Portland Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon: March 12, 2022 ==
== redundant citing ==


You are invited! An ] Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more ''''''!
BTW, the reason I use redundant citing on school pages (like ) is because infoboxes, and basic information, are very frequently altered by editors who don't know (and don't care to know) about Misplaced Pages policies like ] and ]. So the changes are made to what they know, or what they've heard, not to solidly sourced data.


Misplaced Pages is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Misplaced Pages and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Misplaced Pages editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!
That's why I go through and use very good sources on that data. It prevents edit warring, single-pass IP edits, and so on- which saves me (and us) a lot of pain later. *especially* on things like principals, mascots, and colors.


Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.
As far as the lede is concerned, you and I disagree somewhat about what should be included. That's totally fine by me- I'm not terribly picky about it. Thanks for cleaning up after me on that. ] (]) 03:08, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 14:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
:I understand your reasoning for most of (actually the vast majority) of the school articles. Most of them are crap articles that would fail even AFD in their current states. Though you have done a great job improving them and getting them to where they need to be. With the two articles (Laurelwood Academy and TVJA) where we have had some disagreement, these are two articles I did extensive research on and wrote from scratch, carefully citing almost everything. This includes most of the info that is in the infobox, which again with most of the school articles, this info does not already appear (let alone cited) in the body of the article. And if these articles were up for FA, redundant citing in the infobox or lede (except for exceptional claims) will be something brought up as needing to be removed (]), and FA is the ultimate (even if unlikely) goal for every article. There is no guideline/policy for infobox usage, only creation of the template itself, but if you take the first 10 FAs that use infoboxes at the start, only one has citation in the infobox, and it is only a single citation. So that's why I generally don't repeat, unless of course it is some sort of "likely to be challenged" issue (or such as student # and populations, something that constantly changes).

:Plus, since these two are on my watchlist, so vandals will likely be unsuccessful in any significant changes lasting for more than a day or two. It would be the same for any of the 400 articles I have started thus far, all are still on my watchlist and vandalism/unsourced changes are reverted.
:As to the lede, yes we apparently do disagree. I base my views on the reviews received going through GA and FA so many times to the point where I think I am a bit of an expert on leads. Not that every lead I write is perfect and can't use some fine-tuning, but the general content/gist that I write is usually what is expected in a lead. And with school articles, sports needs to be in the lead, as that is by far the most covered topic by the media. As I'm sure you've read, ''The Oregonian'' dedicates an entire section every week just to prep sports, and you would be hard pressed not to find coverage of prep sports everyday of the school year in ''The Oregonian'' and other daily papers, and often even when school is out for the year. Even on OregonLive, there is a "High school sports" section, but not one just for high school academics (the "Education" section covers HS, college, and middle/elementary). High school sports, for better or worse, tend to define schools. Which my sense is that this is even worse say in Texas. Thus they need to be covered in the article, and thus need to be in the lead as a summary of the article (unless they don't actually have sports like a few schools).
:And not to beat a deadhorse, but accreditation for private schools is important to private schools, just as it is to private colleges. With publicly funded schools, it just isn't something most people worry about, it is just assumed the state is running an institution that can grant degrees worth something. Much like tuition for private secondary/primary schools is relevant, but obviously not for most public schools. But I digress. ] (]) 07:59, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

::I think we can beat some of the same horse a little- I spend some time finding the accreditation for any nonpublic school, and usually will write a section about when they received the accreditation. Okay, easiest part done.

::On to the lede. I'll respect however you want to do it. I'm not a good writer. I can make an infobox and I can do a mediocre job at all other bits of "content creation". But I tend to disagree that it's important to have the school's athletic division, and/or the school district, in the lede- they are already on the page. That leave the page up to the unique content, and all of the boring facts then reside in the infobox. However, I understand the point you are making about The Oregonian and such.

Regarding your reverting my last edit: OK, no big deal, but I have to point out that the bus transit center&mdash;which has existed there for over 20 years&mdash;is named Tigard Transit Center, not Tigard Transit Center ''Station'' (and this has not changed with WES's opening), so technically I am correct that the subject of this article (as currently named) is only the rail station. However, the content does indeed also include (albeit with almost no detail) the bus transit center. Maybe the article's title should be changed to omit "Station". That would make it consistent with how ], WES's northern terminal, is treated on Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 06:49, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
:I have addressed your issue, but note that the title of an article is not actually controlling of much. ] are about common usage, not necessarily about what the article is about. Obviously we want to be fairly accurate, but common usage generally rules the day. The ] is more about establishing what the article covers, is it can be easier to explain there than some long title; for instance here you could argue for '''Tigard Transit Center Station and the Tigard Transit Center''' as the title as the most accurate (but I think most would agree that is rather long and convoluted). For instance ] is more than just the dam, it includes the locks and the power generation portion, but that title is the common usage. For the Tigard one, the TTCS came up more than minus the station, likely because the old one opened in 1988 well before the proliferation of the internet and sources on the internet.

== Draft, Bill Carmody ==
Just curious, was a revert, or did you not notice my previous edit? --]|] 11:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
:I'm more than happy for more input on the whole issue. You're right, there haven't been a lot of comments on it, which is part of the problem: Most people don't care either way. If you've got any ideas on how to get people to comment anyhow, they'd be greatly appreciated. :)
:To the issue itself: First of all, what do we warn our readers of, anyhow? That an airport is not yet completed? Why would that warrant a warning? The (and most others) template says that the article "may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change as the construction and/or completion of the airport approaches, and as more information becomes available on it." Does that mean that the article will suddenly cease to contain information of speculative nature once the construction of the airport is complete? Will there never be any further possible speculative information in some way, or are we going to exchange the template with a "Current Airport" template then? My point is that a warning about possible (not actual) speculative information is entirely independent of the status of something. A future airport might have as much speculative information as a current, former or fictional airport. That is why we do have the general disclaimer, linked from every article, saying that our articles might be, at any time, inaccurate or just plain wrong.
:On comparing the template to other article-space templates: We use NPOV or OR templates when there is an actual problem, not when there ''might'' be, possibly, a problem. And such problems usually aren't nearly as obvious as the status of an airport, which should be made clear in the very first sentence of an article. Even missing citations aren't as obvious, as a missing "references" section doesn't necessarily mean that there are no references.
:When the most common arguments for keeping these templates are "We've always used them" and "They do no harm", we should probably think long and hard whether they are really necessary, or helping. --]|] 21:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


Hi! I see you are a member of WikiProject Law. I am seeking feedback on a draft I created about trial attorney Bill Carmody, of ], who has been profiled in the press several times because of the size and prominence of his cases. I have explained more here: ]. He’s a personal connection of mine, so impartial advice on notability and neutral point of view would be greatly appreciated. ] (]) 15:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

::Do you mean one of those notices that appear on top of every user's watchlist? If so, then I'm pretty sure that there won't be any consensus for adding the RfC there, as such notices are only supposed to be used for the ''really'' important things, like big elections and so on. Notifying various wikiprojects is a good idea, although I have done just that with the discussion for ], leaving message at about a dozen different wikiprojects, and didn't receive a single reply there, either. Still, it's worth another try. And I actually ''have'' asked the person who created ] (the first of its kind) why he created it, his reply, largely saying what you said. As for "people making templates randomly just for fun", you won't believe what kind of templates I've seen so far. One about "recently deceased pets" (We got a "recently deceased" template, after all), or one that, with great accuracy, told you which century is the current one (we have one for the current day and current second, so why not the current century?), etc.

::You say that "All of the tags get used when there is only a maybe problem". That's true, in a way, but not my point. My point was that people add an NPOV tag or a cleanup tag when they ''think'' there is an actual problem. There doesn't necessarily have to be a problem, but they're not going to add a template just in case there might be a problem in the future. And when I come across an article that has such a template and I don't see any problems with it, I can just go ahead and remove that template again. I can't do this with a Future template.
::Of course we cannot say with absolute certainty whether an event in the future is really going to happen. But isn't the fact that we cannot see into the future common knowledge? Do we need to remind people of that? That's pretty much my main point: Someone who is going to read "...is a future/proposed/planned airport/bridge/TV show" will ''know'' about all the implications of that fact. He will know that something unexpected might happen, or that some information may not be final, or that things may change in the meantime. They will know that we (or anyone else) cannot guarantee that what is written will actually happen. You are right, there are people who might not read the first sentence of an article, but there are also people who might miss a big, colourful template (for example because they clicked on a link that leads straight to a section). What do we do then? Is it really our highest goal to inform people who do not read the lead (or who do not understand its implications) of something that is common knowledge? I would imagine that the number of people who do not read (or understand) the lead is quite small; tiny, even, and I don't think we should add a big template to tens of thousands of articles just to make things a bit more obvious for them. And even if we do, we cannot guarantee that they are going to read the message. And, anyhow, even if they do skip the lead of an article, it should be made clear throughout any article whether it talks about something that is in the future or not. (And in the case an article isn't clear about that, I do support the use of a Future template.) --]|] 09:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

:::I suppose we can agree to disagree here. I do think that the fact that things in the future are not certain is as obvious as coffee is hot, and yes, I would very much oppose any warning on Misplaced Pages-coffee to that effect, so to speak. Maybe it's just different mindsets, where I live there are no such labels on the coffee you buy, and no one would even think about changing that. I'm simply assuming that 99,8% (or more) of our readers do know these things, and that we shouldn't add templates to articles that might be useful to the other 0,2%. I mean, we could just as well create a template that says "This is an article about a person who is still in office. Information may change until the person retires." We could create thousands of similar templates that all point out something that is more or less obvious, and might help 0,2% of our readers nonetheless. I just don't think that's a very good idea. Yes, we should make sure that an eight grader understands our articles, but I'm quite sure that an eight grader knows that coffee is hot, and that information about the future is not set in stone. --]|] 20:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I dropped by for a different reason, to notify you of a detail: actually converted an en dash to an en dash..in other words, not necessary. When doing such edits in the future you might want to blow up the text size in your browser, or paste the existing dash into a word processor so you can better see what kind of dash it is.

Yes, that sounds interesting, and thanks for asking. By the way, several months ago you sent me a short list of Oregon articles that might be pushed to FA.

:Looks fine, I made some minor fixes. With the addresses, anything north of US26 and east of NW185th is a Portland Zip/address, so Sunset and Westview (I believe Sunset is actually within the Beaverton city limits, but Westview I know is not in Beaverton) have Portland addresses (as does St. Vincent's Hospital), same with Catlin Gabel (not in any city). To complicate things further, 97006 and 97007 are dual Beaverton/Aloha Zip codes (and I think Hillsboro works too for some of the addresses) so many things that are not actually in Beaverton are thought to be B-ton. For instance the International High School is in what is considered Aloha, and certainly is not in the city limits of B-ton. This causes problems around Tanasbourne where most is in Hillsboro, but a large section has a B-ton/Aloha Zip Code. I'm not sure why the Post Office is so f'd up about these things, as we've seen this with the Adair Village school, the Mennonite School, and at the ones you addressed too.

== Hillsboro edit reversions ==


== ITN recognition for ] ==
I'm confused by your recent reversion of my edits. ] does say if citation formats differ, it's best to respect that used by the first editor. Setting aside that I'm not sure that's the best policy, there is still the point that numerous other editors who added citations before I made my first-ever edit to the ] article had ''failed'' to follow that very guideline, and the result was that the article's reference list is a mix of different styles with regard to publications dates. I was taking a step towards making them ''consistent'' within the article, using ] as a guide. I didn't have time to catch them all, and was unsure what to do with citations that don't name any author (so I left them alone for now), but I don't understand how how can justify reverting all of the cases where I had changed the format to put to the date after the author's name, and yet ''not'' change any of the 25+ citations (added by others) which remain formatted the way I was trying to make all (eventually). How is such a high degree of inconsistency of citation formatting within a single article better than how I had left it? (And you also didn't bother to restore the unrelated edits I made, adding three transportation-related wikilinks.) ] (]) 04:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks for the explanation. Based on my experience with you to date, I figured I'd get a helpful and constructive reply, and I do appreciate it. I had noticed that the article had achieved FA status, and I was a little puzzled that it had (presumably) done so in spite of the inconsistency of the citation formats. It never even occurred to me that the formatting of some of the citations could have been changed automatically by a revision of Misplaced Pages's template output, rather than by inattention from individual contributors. This was the first time I've touched a featured article, and so (as you probably surmised) I didn't truly realize the potential ramifications, didn't give enough thought to what the article had already gone through (with multiple reviews, etc.) to get there. I'll certainly continue editing, but for the foreseeable future I'll probably avoid editing any FAs unless I find a very clear error that is simple and indisputable, like correcting the name given for MAX in the Hillsboro article. Regarding the paragraph break I added, it just seemed illogical to me to have a paragraph that was 85-90% about transit (really just MAX, as you noted) ''start out'' with two sentences that have nothing at all to do with transit (regarding freight railroads), but I sincerely don't wish to undermine the efforts of others who have far more Misplaced Pages editing experience than I, so I accept your explanation of that reversion. I'm grateful that there are some very experienced Wikipedians such as you who are willing to put up with the mistakes of novices such as me, and who are willing to take the time to patiently explain what we did wrong! I've been contributing (as a hobby) to small-circulation print magazines for over 25 years (including some editing and proofreading), but from time to time I discover that some general principle I've long used there doesn't really fit Misplaced Pages (usually with good reason), and I end up making an editing mistake of some sort. Partly because I continue to contribute regularly to (specialized) print magazines, I don't know that I'll ever have the ''time'' to become a really experienced Misplaced Pages editor, which is why it may be best for me to just avoid editing FAs under most circumstances. I noticed you've been editing the Hillsboro article while I've been writing this, but FYI, I've not yet looked at any of your recent changes; I don't imagine I'll feel any need to comment on them, however. Thanks again for the helpful response. ] (]) 10:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Something still needs to be done about the article's use of the term "heavy rails" (with an s), which is not a proper term as used here (and rarely is). The terms "light rail" and "heavy rail" have nothing to do with the weight of the rails. They started out as adjectives only, but gradually became accepted as nouns. A rail magazine editor or book author would refer to a "heavy-rail line" or "heavy-rail system", or similar (with or without the hyphen), but in my experience unless the writer is making a comparison with light rail (or writing about a place that has both, which does apply to Hillsboro but no heavy-rail ''transit'' there), the more common term is "mainline rail" (-system, line, operator, etc.). I placed quotation marks around heavy rail in my article edit, because that term only arose as a direct result of the coining of the term "light rail" circa the early 1970s, and so even railfans tend to use the term only when making comparisons between "lighter" rail modes (light rail, streetcars) and "heavier" modes (ones with a "heavier" degree of engineering, such as viaducts and subways) and otherwise tend to just use the terms "subway", "El" (for elevated railway), "metro" (the common term outside the U.S.), etc., when discussing rail transit rather than using the term "heavy rail". For that reason, even railfans sometimes put quotation marks around the term "heavy rail". It's a term that really only came into being as a contrast to the term "light rail" but which remains comparatively little-used on its own, because there are far too many different types of rail lines/operations that fall under it — including intercity passenger rail service (Amtrak in this country), freight railroads, subways, commuter rail services, even monorail lines, and subgroups such as ] within these! I don't think there's much about this subject on WP, but you can see ] and ]. I suggest changing the phrase "over heavy rails" to "over a heavy-rail line", or "over any heavy-rail line", or similar (without the quotation marks, of course). ] (]) 10:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Thanks. Except for the "heavy rails" thing (which, as I said, was a terminology error), I wouldn't have been upset if you had not made any other changes in the ]. But I'm glad you did. I think it's better now. I'm moving on to other stuff. Thanks again. ] (]) 08:12, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know that I, too, have found the abrupt changes to various templates annoying at times because something that was perfectly consistent suddenly becomes inconsistent in a global way. I've spent a good deal of time making things consistent and then making them consistent again after a template change. While the citation templates seem to solve some problems, they create other problems, and I've been toying with the idea of abandoning them and doing all of my citations by hand. I don't know if that's a good idea or not. ] (]) 18:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
|2={{Ambox globe current red}}
:I know, I've generally found them annoying as too set in stone and not flexible enough for many needs. Even now, I've converted most of the refs to templates on Hillsboro, and there will still be inconsistencies as the templates handle things differently for "news" if there is an author name or not. If there is an author, the date goes right after it in (), but if no author then at the end without (). That shouldn't matter, as I don't recall that from college, and my old MLA style book doesn't say to do it that way. But, if they are all in templates, GA and FA folks cannot complain about it, and even if you do the cites by hand, it seems inevitable that someone will later come along and add something using a template. Or in other words, resistance is futile. ] (]) 18:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

''The King Bridge Company built this 400-foot single span cantilever bridge in 1892. It was held to be one of the longest cantilever spans in the United States at the turn of the century and probably one of the early steel bridges of its kind in the northwest. By crossing the Williamette River at Albany, the bridge played a major role in completing a vital road connection between Eugene in the south and Salem and Portland in the north as well as establishing Albany as an important center of interchange between river and road traffic. Its completion was the cause of much celebration by the local populace, for “it was wide enough for two horse and buggies to pass.”''

Permission Request

I came across some of your photos on the Tualatin, Oregon wiki page. I work at a local credit union (a not-for-profit) and we're looking for some local photographs that may be used in our new branch.

I wanted to see if I could get permission to print and post photos in our branch? I'm not sure the best way to attribute the photos would be - perhaps adding your name to the bottom of them?

Please let me know if this is something you'd be amenable to. I greatly appreciate your time! Afoster2022 (talk) 21:46, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Your (or someone else) assessment of Ahmed Umar (artist)

Hi. I’m not sure if it was you or someone else who rated/assessed Ahmed Umar (artist) article as a start. To be honest it was a bit disappointing as I though the article should at least get a C. anyway, I wonder if you are able to give a feedback to help improving the quality of the article (even you if were not the one to assess it am sure you have expertise to weigh in) FuzzyMagma (talk) 00:39, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

The issue is the early life section. Two sentences cover about 20 years of their life, or more than half of their life. I understand little is known, but without more the article is incomplete. We have articlex that have all there is to know about 2000 year old Romans, but when that article is only a paragraph long, it is still a stub. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:04, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Draft, Bill Carmody

Hi! I see you are a member of WikiProject Law. I am seeking feedback on a draft I created about trial attorney Bill Carmody, of Susman Godfrey, who has been profiled in the press several times because of the size and prominence of his cases. I have explained more here: User talk:Backyard116/sandbox/Bill Carmody/Seeking feedback. He’s a personal connection of mine, so impartial advice on notability and neutral point of view would be greatly appreciated. Backyard116 (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

WikiProject rating

Hi there! Thanks for all your contributions! I noticed you'd recently done some WikiProject rating and wanted to make sure that under WP:PIQA we're moving to only having the quality ratings in the banner shell rather than for individual projects. The Kephir tool is old and hasn't been updated to reflect this. Thanks. -Kj cheetham (talk) 23:39, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Kj cheetham: but until it actually works properly, it should not be implemented. Here is an example I see fairly often where it is assessed in the banner shell, but shows up as unassessed in WP:BIO. Aboutmovies (talk) 01:05, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
@MSGJ:, could you comment on this? I'm not sure what's gone wrong with that example. Thanks. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Aboutmovies In almost all cases it's worked fine, and the times it's hasn't it's been a case of errors in the original code which the bot couldn't understand. In this case I posted about it at Template_talk:WikiProject_banner_shell#Possible_bug? and Qwerfjkl spotted an extra } which has solved it. Tracking categories are being set up to look for various types of errors, but on the whole it's been quite successful I think with literally millions of talk pages converted. -20:02, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
