Removing "NJ" in lead

I noticed your edits to Buckshutem, New Jersey and Bridgeboro, New Jersey, just to name a few, where you have (I assume unintentionally) removed "New Jersey" to the lead of each paragraph. You inserted the country to many pages recently, left in the township or borough, and the county, but missing the state. Please go through your edits again and be more careful about this for the future. I have fixed the two examples I gave. Tinton5 (talk) 16:58, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip and for correcting the errors. Alansohn (talk) 02:54, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

FYI regarding AFD

Hi. I just started an AFD for Monksville, New Jersey, an article that you edited once. My proposal is actually to merge it to Monksville Reservoir. --Orlady (talk) 14:09, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your encouragement

Thanks for your encouraging words about editing Lowell_High_School_(San_Francisco), and thanks for your help repairing the damage. In the end the article is better, so I suppose there is progress, of a sort. Bartash (talk) 16:14, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Charles Mainor

In regards to your edit about New Jersey Assemblyman Charles Mainor and the need for sourcing allegations of wrongdoing, to which I did so in the original edit. Apparently Misplaced Pages does not appreciate links to videos referenced from Youtube, so a .mp4 format video is here: http://dirtydeedsdonedirtcheap.net/video/CharlesMainor.mp4. The video originates from the New Jersey Assembly and is shows the complete context.Kafir 1776 (talk) 17:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

See reply on user's talk page. Alansohn (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

What more do you want for a source than a video taken from WITHIN the assembly DURING the proceedings? Is A/V footage that of someone that shows the entire context no longer considered a legitimate source?Kafir 1776 (talk) 17:50, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Looks like it has been reported to the Star-Ledger http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/06/sweeneys_gun_bill_stalls_in_co.html. Kafir 1776 (talk) 18:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

What do you have against {{cite news}}? —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:48, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Both formats are supported in Misplaced Pages and I find the free-form version far easier to build, especially as I have added thousands upon thousands of references. Once it becomes easier to use i will be happy to convert to the dark cite. Alansohn (talk) 04:46, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Categories for NJ municipalities

I really feel that the municipality categories need to be done differently. Hopefully, over time, most municipalities will have their own category, like in CT and MA. This should warrant putting the municipalities in the appropriate larger categories of Cities, Towns, Villages, so that all of the named categories in a state can be seen together by size. By putting them in Populated places in XX county, you can also find all the named categories in each county. Please see examples like Category:Populated places in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Jllm06 (talk) 16:29, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

The problem I've had is that the municipalities belong in the categories for populated places, while the categories for the municipalities don't. To pick a recent example, Hope Township, New Jersey belongs in Category:Populated places in Warren County, New Jersey; the Category:Hope Township, New Jersey doesn't because the category is not a populated place. The Hope Township category includes an amusement park, a church, a school district and a winery, but none of those are populated places in Warren County, though all are within the structure of Warren County. I will take a look at the Barnstable model and see how this fits with the intended purpose of the category system and to see if there is any alternative way to achieve your goals within that intended structure.

Featured List candidate: List of colonial governors of New Jersey

I finally finished my overhaul of List of colonial governors of New Jersey and nominated it for Featured list status. The nomination can be found here: Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/List of colonial governors of New Jersey/archive1. If you could stop by to offer your insight on all-things-New Jersey, some suggestions for improvement and perhaps your support, I would appreciate it. Thanks. --ColonelHenry (talk) 04:26, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

The article looks very well done and thoroughly sourced. I will review further but what I've seen looks excellent. Thanks for reaching out to me. Alansohn (talk) 04:28, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Area data -- for both sqmi and km2 -- are supplied by the United States Census Bureau, with no need to perform a conversion

I see where Guerrilla of the Renmin has simply ignored our suggestions and has not waited to resolve this issue with us on their Talk page. Guerrilla has simply proceeded to make these unnecessary changes. I see where you are going separately after each of these changes and reverting them to show the correct information. I'm sure you have better things to do than correct Guerilla's unnecessary changes.

Unfortunately, even if somehow there was a consensus to allow Guerrilla to make the changes, the way the changes are being made are wrong and would conflict with the same info in the Info Boxes, which are manually entered and not converted using a Template. In addition, the percentage or area covered by water would be based on the manually entered English and metric units and not the converted units. This would cause further confusion and possible revisions.

In addition, Guerrilla's convert Template is using the abbreviated form of English unit rather than the fully spelled out units, which is preferred and regularly used in these articles. That also should be corrected.

On Guerrila's Talk page, you mentioned that you had already discussed this issue extensively. Is there any Talk page, where an authoritative consensus was reached, that you can refer me to?

How can Guerrilla be quickly stopped from making all these changes until there is some type of consensus resolution? Isn't there some Misplaced Pages protocol that prevents someone from making changes, even though others have indicated that the changes should not be made?

Is there a Misplaced Pages page for a team that handles New Jersey articles where this issue can be addressed?

This issue needs to be elevated higher than addressing it on Guerrilla's talk page below.

User talk:Guerrilla of the Renmin#Area data -- for both sqmi and km2 -- are supplied by the United States Census Bureau, with no need to perform a conversion

I look forward to giving you any assistance that you need.Wondering55 (talk) 15:49, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

• I agree with you 100%, but it seems that GotR has stopped making these unnecessary conversion changes as part of his other edits. Assuming that there are no further changes by GotR, I think that this issue can be put to bed, for now, though I agree that we should keep an eye out for any further changes. Thanks again for all of your assistance with improving New Jersey articles. Alansohn (talk) 15:54, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter

We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.

Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, Casliber (submissions) and Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.

A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Red categories

Hey, do you know why these categories are popping up on certain pages? Category:Historic districts in USA New Jersey Union County, Category:Historic districts in USA New Jersey Monmouth County, etc.

I use Hot Cat, and I am unable to get rid of them (no plus or minus button), and I doubt they should be created because they seem redundant to already existing categories. Tinton5 (talk) 16:46, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

• There is a parameter called locmapin used in the NRHP infobox that controls the map template used for pushpin maps. If the parameter is "New Jersey", it displays a map of the whole state, which is not very helpful. I worked with another editor to create maps of each county, and if "USA New Jersey Union County" is specified, it will show a map of Union County. The problem is that this parm is also used for another purpose for historic districts. So if locmapin contains "New Jersey" it correctly generates Category:Historic districts in New Jersey, but if it contains "USA New Jersey Union County" it incorrectly generates Category:Historic districts in USA New Jersey Union County. Because these red cats are generated by the template, there's no way to get rid of them using a tool like HotCat. I will look through the template logic and see if there is any way to work around this or to have it fixed to deal with the problem. Alansohn (talk) 18:16, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
