Collapsing cites
As you just did on List of publications of William Garrison and Isaac Knapp. I put them that way for a reason (easier to skim through), and would appreciate if you left them that way. Thanks. deisenbe (talk) 02:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Deisenbe I have no idea what I broke but I just reverted myself. Apologies! Not trying to damage anything was just thinking Lyman could be an author link. Carry on w your good work! jengod (talk) 02:45, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Louisville Barnstar for you!
The Louisville Barnstar | ||
For your creation of and excellent work in Louisville Hotel and United States Post Office, Court House, and Custom House (Louisville, Kentucky, 1893), the latter of which was on the Requests list for WikiProject Louisville. Thank you! I think you'll do well around these parts. :) (our start dates are like a year apart) Stefen Towers among the rest! 04:06, 19 January 2024 (UTC) |
- Thanks for being so supportive and welcoming @StefenTower and I'm v glad to hear that my soft spot for demolished buildings was of use to WP Louisville. Best, jengod (talk) 04:16, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- I hear you. I might have supported keeping them around, but they were torn down decades before I was born. I'm delighted at any rate that we have even more of Louisville's rich history covered. Cheers! Stefen Towers among the rest! 04:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Big Doughnuts
Awesome work on the big doughnuts article, you should add it to WP:DYK if you get a chance. BuySomeApples (talk) 23:00, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the thanks!
I am so impressed with your productivity as a SAHM of four! All this just in the month of January! I loved your Big Donuts article. As a native Californian and retired now, I remember seeing a lot of the fun roadside stands driving through California on vacation. A few months ago I checked out some library books on the wonderful, crazy vernacular architecture in Southern California in the early 20th century. A fun read! MauraWen (talk) 21:48, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- High five @MauraWen! (btw I also love your eaves-drip burial article.) Stay cool! jengod (talk) 22:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have a question for you. I write a lot about British prehistoric and medieval history, women, art, etc. stuff that I am interested in. I really should start focusing on the U.S. I like U.S. history too, but I have a hard time coming up with article ideas. I created the Ernest Hemingway birthplace article, because I now live in Oak Park, near his birthplace. Any recommendations for how I can research interesting American history and architecture ideas? I am planning to read many of your article in the near future--they look really interesting to me!
- Maura MauraWen (talk) 22:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry to butt in here, but a great place to look for articles to create is in WikiProjects. A lot of them have request lists. The one I heavily maintain even has a History section. Hope this helps! Stefen Towers among the rest! 22:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Also check out Category:Misplaced Pages requested articles - the fire hose of requests. :). Stefen Towers among the rest! 22:41, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- LOL what @StefenTower said! also @MauraWen My U.S. articles are just things in my area *or* stuff that I encountered in my reading, which I was probably doing in a rage blackout about Injustice Why?! There used to be a thing we called a Decamanus tree after a user who only wrote articles redlinked from a previous article he wrote. I kinda still do that albeit as not as strictly. Like Martin P. Kennard was mentioned in a source I was reading about William I. Bowditch, which came from finding a mention of Elihu Creswell in a book he wrote, and I was researching him bc I have a preexisting interest in doing slave trader bios and I found an intriguing mention of him while reading old newspapers looking for Louisville Hotel stuff, which I was doing because I had a redlink on Andrew Johnson's drunk vice-presidential inaugural address, which was a spin-off of Andrew Johnson alcoholism debate, which was a long-term result of writing William Andrew Johnson and Dolly Johnson which were created as a consequence of the Rich Man making me mad. All of which is to say:
- Don't worry about the "shoulds" -- you are already crushing it
- Write what you know! Whatever's in your town or your background is probably a great place to start.
- {{hug}} jengod (talk) 23:10, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- @StefenTower Please butt in! Great ideas! When I first started volunteering back in 2017, I was working on Wikiproject Women articles, specializing in archeologists. The archaeological work that those amazing women were doing turned out to be the beginning of a new interest in archaeology for me. Creating new articles lead to new interests. I plan to take a look at a few Wikiprojects and the Misplaced Pages requested articles in the next few weeks. Thanks again! MauraWen (talk) 23:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I have definitely cultivated new interests from just editing articles, even just from fixing typos. Also, this discussion has got me thinking, that we could use a list of US history article request lists somewhere. That would be great for all the American Wikipedians who are history buffs. Stefen Towers among the rest! 23:52, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Louisville Hotel
Hi again, have you considered doing a WP:DYK for Louisville Hotel? One hook could be that it survived both a major fire and a notable tornado but ultimately succumbed to economic pressures. Another hook could be the connection to Andrew Johnson. Stefen Towers among the rest! 21:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @StefenTower thank you for the very flattering suggestion but I'm not doing DYKs right now because I find the process very involved, and I'm trying to keep research/writing as the focus my Misplaced Pages hobby time. best, jengod (talk) 22:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

For forking off Andrew Johnson's drunk vice-presidential inaugural address. One of the rare occasions where a Misplaced Pages article is natural comedy gold! — Daniel Case (talk) 05:46, 1 February 2024 (UTC) |
- @Daniel Case it's so so crazy, right? TY for the Barnstar! Always glad to hear the work is getting read. Best, jengod (talk) 06:36, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's one of those articles like Action Park (which I researched and wrote) that just winds up being funny by being itself. Do it a favor and don't submit it for any sort of recognition ... that way you can keep it the way it is! If you do, expect to see it on a lot of listicles all over the Internet (I will list it at unusual articles (which really ought to be titled "Articles about unusual subjects"). If it isn't there already).
- The only thing that would make this story better would have been if Johnson had puked mid-speech (à la Dave Barry's take on how that famous (and completely fictional) story about Churchill and Bessie Braddock would have likely really turned out ("Madam, I may be drunk but BLEAAAAARRRRRGHHH!!! all over her shoes"). But then it wouldn't have lasted so long.
- I'm going to have to read parts of this one out loud to my wife later (I really love the part where he knocks back not one, not two, but three table glasses of straight scotch, filled to the brim, before the speech. I wonder if anyone's ever tried to estimate how much his BAC would have been at the time). And share it with my family.
- Someone really needs to make a movie of this ...
- I hope Annie Rauwerda is also aware of this. She could certainly do something with it on her feed. Daniel Case (talk) 06:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Don't worry about recognition seeking LOL I find that quite overwhelming and avoid it except for the rare foray into DYK. I didn't mean for it to get so long but there are so many parts I couldn't bear to cut. Anyway thanks again and, uh, cheers 🥂 😆 jengod (talk) 07:46, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Fungus articles
Hi Jengod. I saw your article on Tricholoma yatesii – thanks for making articles on fungus species, there aren't too many around here who do that! Wanted to let you know for future creations, you might want to check out the status of the name on Index Fungorum. For this fungus, the current name is Melanoleuca yatesii (i.e., the genus in which Murrill originally placed it). I'm not sure why it's currently classified there in favor of Tricholoma; digging into the literature would be necessary to find out. MycoBank is another nomenclatural repository that can be used to check current name status, and it also gives Melanoleuca as the current genus. Hope this tip might be helpful for you going forward, have a good day! Esculenta (talk) 17:31, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much @Esculenta -- I'm a bumbling amateur so I will take every scrap of advice you can offer in hopes of not messing up Misplaced Pages. I mostly add fungi that I see pop up on the California mushrooms Facebook groups that we don't have yet. My man Alan Rockefeller called it T. yatesii and that's the name iNat had so that's what I went with but I will add Index Fungorum to my list of reference(s) to check regularly! jengod (talk) 17:38, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- P.S. I have inquired with the California mushroom people about top-secret name changes etc. jengod (talk) 17:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation: World Mythologies series (February 4)
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Stuartyeates were: This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Misplaced Pages article.

- reliable
- secondary
- independent of the subject
- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:World Mythologies series and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hello, Jengod. I've been always wanting to start one of these ever since I started editing Misplaced Pages. I've been thinking of bringing Bart's Books (or Morgan Hill, California if you're up to the challenge) to good article status. As a fellow Californian, it gives me a great sense of pride to be working with someone in the same state as me and sharing high quality information with others! Whaddya say? TWOrantula (enter the web) 06:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
