Authority control integration

Thanks very much for your comments on the proposal on the Village Pump. We've refined it and worked out some more details after the discussion, and there is now a community Request for Comment to approve it being implemented. Any feedback gratefully received!

Marcus Qwertyus and Ohio politicians

With you being a resident of Ohio and knowledgable of Ohio politics, wouldn't you like to see these things improved upon? They are prominent to your society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.255.52.242 (talk) 01:38, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Ole Wich

Hello, Nyttend. I just returned after a 15-month wikibreak and discovered that an article Ole Wich that I started some years ago has been PRODded and deleted. I wondered whether, in your capacity as administrator, you'd be kind enough to userify the article for me so that I can assess for myself whether the article is worth improving or whether it really deserved to be deleted. Best regards, Euchiasmus (talk) 07:42, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

• It hadn't progressed beyond the original one sentence and gallery of Commons images that you started it with. But proposed deletion can be restored in place (by Nyttend or via Project:Requests for undeletion) if challenged after the fact. Uncle G (talk) 08:08, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Restored per your request; see User:Euchiasmus/Ole Wich. Nyttend (talk) 11:40, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks. I'll see if I can find any more information and references that could establish notability. Regards, Euchiasmus (talk) 12:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Did you read the first section discussing that? Your assertion that discussion supports restoration of talk page access doesn't seem to match the discussion at all. Please comment on that back at Misplaced Pages talk:Blocking policy ‎ Toddst1 (talk) 20:23, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

RE: Charles Taylor

Lewis and Clark County Hospital Historic District

I'm finding little info on this. Can you find the NRHP nom form? I'm having trouble. Draft is here: User:PumpkinSky/Lewis and Clark County Hospital Historic District. Feel free to edit. Thanks.PumpkinSky talk 22:46, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Got one from the Montana office and the NRHP says they'll send me one. Thanks!PumpkinSky talk 16:43, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Slide show on Commons?

Hoping you might know how to do this.

I'm doing a 20 minute presentation at Wikimania on "Working with WP:NRHP" and using a Powerpoint presentation on Saturday the 14th. Twenty minutes is not a lot of time and I want to be sure that the slide show is easily accessible. There are 6 slides plus a title page. Is there any way to put it on Commons in a format that keeps the weblinks?

I'd also like folks at WP:NRHP to be able to comment, so I can make changes if needed. Smallbones (talk) 11:56, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

This is the best solution so far Smallbones (talk) 13:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Do you get a better pic of the Yellow River footbridge? It was high water when I was there and couldn't get anything from the side. Smallbones (talk) 14:47, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

The more y'all attempt to explain yourselves, the more you do one, more, or all of the following:

1. Imply that Misplaced Pages editors know everything and therefore there is no need for our contributions (informational, financial, or otherwise).

2. Suggest that Misplaced Pages editors ALWAYS know more than the subject matter experts on how best to present/organize the information on a specific subject.

3. Attempting to contribute to Misplaced Pages is a waste of time.

4. You didn’t actually read (or at lease understand) our comments before auto responding.

5. You haven’t read the material sufficiently and/or are knowledgeable enough about the subject to understand why it is presented/organized in the way suggested.

6. Other “things” that are often felt, but are both inappropriate and counter productive to include in this forum.

Your explanation fits YOUR example perfectly. Entity A is still entity A (but by a shorter name) when part B and then later part C is removed.

However, that does not work in this case. Entity A became entity B (hence article B) and then entities C, D, E, & F combined to make entity G (hence article G). Entities H, I, & J combined to become entity K (hence article K). Much later entity G & K combined to make entity M (hence article M). Then entity M combined with entity B to make entity N, but only after entity L is split off from entity B (thereby creating a need for article N--otherwise, which article do you modify?).

In a little more simple terms if entity X merges with entity Y to become entity Z, which article should be modified, article X or article Y? The most reasonable approach is to create article Z, with references to both article X and article Y. Entities splitting or dividing (as in the case of your example) are a much different case.

We DID begin substantial modifications of a previous article, but quickly realized that doing so created more confusion than clarification. Therefore we undid our modifications and created a new article.

When it was declined, we were told to update the existing article–however, the “existing” article named IS the one that was declined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.119.83.174 (talk) 18:52, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
