Plankinton DYKs
[edit]Hi Doug, have you considered combining the John Plankinton and the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion nominations to make a single hook? The length issue would be reduced as the characters in John's name would no longer count. You could make something like:
- ... that John Plankinton built the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion (pictured) as a wedding gift for his only daughter, but she refused to live in it because her fiancé ran off with a dancer?
By my count, this version is only 143 characters. You could name Park if you wished, or add something before John's name, like businessman or businessman and philanthropist. Or, you could borrow from John's nomination, and go with:
- ... that "Merchant Prince and Princely Merchant" John Plankinton built the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion (pictured) as a wedding gift for his only daughter, but she refused to live in it because her fiancé ran off with a dancer?
If you expanded Park's bio by about 2500 characters, it could be added too:
- ... that "Merchant Prince and Princely Merchant" John Plankinton built the Elizabeth Plankinton mansion (pictured) as a wedding gift for Elizabeth, his only daughter, but she refused to live in it after her fiancé, Richard Henry Park, ran off with a dancer?
This last one is still under 200 characters by the rules. Anyway, I just thought I'd stop by and make the suggestion. Cheers, EdChem (talk) 14:37, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- @EdChem: Great ideas = like the way you think! At the moment I am getting over a cold, so don't have all my RAMs going. Will take a morning nap, and THEN look these over again. Thanks again for ideas and likely will do one of them.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- @EdChem: Proposed "Merchant Prince and Princely Merchant" 2-in-1 hook - not sure what the procedure was for submitting the 2-in-1 new hook, so left a Comment on each nomination of John Plankinton and Elizabeth Plankinton House. Thanks for ideas.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:51, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Carrom Company
[edit]Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Carrom Company has been completed.
You'll notice that I turned this sentence into a quotation which I assume it was - An 1895 newspaper advertisement said that "to get the boys to stay home, provide for them the carroms game to play with." I trust this is accurate.
You write of the lawsuit filed against Montogmery & Ward but make no mention of the outcome. If this can be determined, it would interest readers. Just a thought.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Good luck with the GAN.

Ludington family —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 22:23, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
Let's get a DYK. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 22:29, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- Did You Know that many members of the Ludington family are associated with the founding of American cities in one way or another? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- All we need in each section I made already is a short paragraph of each, especially something to do with them involved with the founding or controlling or developing of an American city. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- ALT1 - Did You Know that James, Henry, Lewis, and Nelson of the Ludington family are associated with the founding of American cities? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: Nominated the article for DYK with ALT1. Do you know how to do a QPQ?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:30, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, but we had time (at least 7 days). I think it was premature. There are rules against not being eligible if most of the material was copied from other articles. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 19:36, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: O.K. - Can you supply the QPQ then. Thanks. I don't like to wait to the last minute to nominate = sometimes causes problems. I usually nominate on the day I create the article, so to me this is a day late. Maybe you can expand the 3k article some. It's at 0.0% Earwig now.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:42, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: My previous nomination of a 2-in-1 I nominated on the day I created the articles. Most articles I nominate on the day I create them = then the age is short enough for sure! So far, its worked for me = 98% of all the articles I have ever created became a DYK (~500).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:50, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Sounds good. We need to emulate the page to look more like a standard family page like Jackson family. Right now it is just about the individual members. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 20:41, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- Looks like they have a genealogy family tree chart layout as well.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:48, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: Done 5,555 characters and 0.0% Earwig. Will that work. Any other ideas for a hook?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:46, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: As you can see I designed and developed the article around a hook (that family members founded cities) = typical of how I construct an article. That way then I have plenty of sources to support a hook. It doesn't matter if an article is submitted "premature" since most of the time a DYK Reviewer doesn't come by for a couple of weeks to review the nomination anyway. It's a way to stop the "DYK Clock" from ticking away and stealing all your time. This then takes all the pressure away = gives you at least a week to improve the article, to make sure it qualifies. Sometimes you even have more time left over. However it does make a difference IF the article is submitted in time = in this case of 2 days, as then it certainly is within the age time. Length is 4 times what is needed. Earwig is 0.0% and there is no copyvio. Most of the information came from new sources. My experience of almost 500 Did You Know articles indicates this article qualifies as one. Check out my Did You Know articles listed by subjects. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:21, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: The article now has about 7.5K characters, and also some newspaper clippings, that I think make excellent references. Do you have the free Newspapers.com subscription from The Wikipedia Library? Can you do the QPQ (thanks).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:44, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: The article is all done and just awaits for the QPQ. Can you do it? Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:30, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- I will take care of the QPQ. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Janweh64: Thanks! I believe then we will get a GTG and this will wrap up and we will then get a DYK credit.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- I will take care of the QPQ. —አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Your revert on Gerber Products Company
[edit]I don't believe you chose the right version to revert to here. Only the most recent of those 3 IP edits was vandalism. Mine was to remove blatant spam inserted by Marlinmccauley (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who should have been indeffed for it had anyone noticed before the account was 3 years stale. The one before me looks like some harmless MOS stuff like WP:OVERLINK compliance. Will you have another look and make corrections if you agree? 141.126.35.239 (talk) 18:22, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- Sounds right to me. I'm not sure what to correct and not sure what I should do, as there has been a recent edit. If you want to make the corrections you think is necessary, I'll go along with your edits and will not revert them. I think you have a better understanding of this than I do. I was just trying to get rid of the vandalism.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:42, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

PFE Albee Avon
[edit]Hello Doug, As the author of the biblio you recently listed (Vintage Differentiation), it was exciting to see our first book listed by you. There is a great deal of info in it, which chronicles 1846-1946, so I look forward to (hopefully) other references. If I can help, please let me know. If you send me an email address, I can send you more information, which I think you'll enjoy. Sincerely, Robert Williams 75.97.34.163 (talk) 13:57, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
[edit]Editor of the Week | ||
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your massive amount of articles created and DYKs. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project) |
User:7&6=thirteen submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- It is my privilege to nominate User Doug Coldwell for Editor of the Week. He has been an editor for 11 years. In that time, he has created almost 800 articles, and nearly 500 have become WP:DYKs. See here. He has made over 40,000 live edits, and uploaded almost 4000 files to Commons, and they populate his articles. See here. 64% of his edits are to articles. He does a tremendous amount of research using real books and presents meticulously researched articles that he has worked on at home and off line – which explains his constrained total edit count. He is the soul of cooperative editing. He is not a WP:Administrator. He does quiet work to make the project better. Doug Coldwell would be a great editor of the week, IMO.
You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:
