Sandbox

Please note that per WP:USERNOCAT, user sandbox pages such as User:XanderAi/sandbox are not allowed to be filed in categories. It doesn't matter whether you're trying to use bluelinked categories that exist or redlinked categories that don't exist, as those are both errors that require cleanup — as long as the page remains in your personal userspace, it is simply not allowed to be filed in categories at all. Since I've had to remove the page from categories three times now, please do not readd it to categories again, as that can become disruption, with consequences for your editing privileges, if it continues. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 17:25, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of tide mills on Long Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Glen Cove. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:57, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Increase Carpenter (July 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by MWFwiki were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Looks like we have notability. Mildly surprised to see this was deleted, previously. WP:BEFORE probably should have precluded this, given the sources I'm seeing, here, but I digress.

1. Additional sources needed. You have swathes of unsourced information, here. You are missing a page number from at least one source. I have inline-marked everything I could find.

2. Some WP:NPOV and/or WP:NOTESSAY issues. Sentences like: "This inn served as a significant site for a protest meeting of American Revolution Patriots. Tragically, General Nathaniel Woodhull, a Brigadier General in the New York Militia, was captured at this very inn." This, for instance, needs to be toned-down. It should read more like "This inn served as a site for a protest meeting of American Revolution Patriots. Brigadier General Nathaniel Woodhull, a flag officer of the New York Militia, would eventually be captured at the same inn."

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Thanks for the help on this article. I was trying to bring attention to the unforseen deletion by an editor whose resume is a deleter of articles that he doesn't approve of, with more that 100 deletions to his credit. He does not improve articles, so unless editors spend time improving articles they are forever gone. This subject is notable, editors would be grateful in correcting any errors and improving it, but he's stuck on deletion. You did take time to provide assists on improvements, for that, you get a barnstar. I believe in Increase Carpenter and his legacy in Hollis, Queens; so to that end I will add as many cites as are necessary for this article to be a part of the encyclopedia. With 34 cites, how is this notable being questioned by a, at best, Marginal? Improve or get gone, any help is gratefully accepted. XanderAi (talk) 00:04, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

At second-reading, I have to lean towards agreement with Brianyoumans. Some of the draft is not quite about Carpenter. I don't have a problem with the DAR section, but that (dead) link to their page is probably not a RS. So, you'd need to locate an RS that discusses the chapter. It might work in a pinch, but if anyone challenges it as being unreliable, you probably won't have much of a defense.

The recent AfD was weak enough -- the nom was fine, but a single delete vote with no re-list is not terribly compelling, IMO -- that it is not a huge factor in my decision to accept this article or not.

That being said, I have marked-up further issues within the draft. You can see more detailed ecplanations by Brianyoumans over at the Talk page. I generally agree with their points, though I have a bit of a softer opinion regarding the sourcing for extraneous topics. Anything mentioned should have a source, IMO. However, one must remember what this draft is about, and one make a decision from there what is necessary to show Carpenter's notability.

Also, to be clear, I am not the final arbiter of whether or not Carpenter is notable (or not notable). My opinion is not worth more than your opinion or Brianyouman's. Just something to keep in-mind.

All thgat being said, I appreciate the work you've put-in.
