You're invited to the New York Wiknic!

You could be having this much fun! Seriously, consider coming.

This message is being sent to inform you of a Wikipedia picnic that is being held in your area next Saturday, June 25. From 1 to 8 PM or any time in between, join your fellow volunteers for a get together at Norman's Landscape (directions) in Manhattan's Central Park.

Take along your friends (newbies permitted), your family and other free culture enthusiasts! You may also want to pack a blanket, some water or perhaps even a frisbee.

If you can, share what you're bringing at the discussion page.

Also, please remember that this is the picnic that anyone can edit so bring enough food to share!

To subscribe to future events, follow the mailing list or add your username to the invitation list. BrownBot (talk) 18:56, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Deletion discussion

You left the delete nomination at O G Money incomplete - you only performed the first step of four. As that would leave the page neither here nor there, I am going to revert it. Feel free to reinstate it, doing all four steps. Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 19:34, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it's an obvious nomination, I'll take it through myself, but I think I'll start with a PROD. --Muhandes (talk) 19:35, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Zuccotti Park

Please do not add material to Wikipedia articles that you know requires a source, and use a "fact" tag as a replacement for one. Other editors can add "fact" tags to material you've added which they feel needs to be sourced but which is not egregiously wrong enough to remove from the article, but if you add information, either source it, or take the chance that someone will remove it. You don't get to play both sides of the street. Please don't do this again -- go do some research and find a citation from a reliable source which says that the protestors renamed the park, otherwise, don't add it to the article, it will be reverted. 04:03, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Darnit, you're right; in fairness to myself, I guess, I was planning on adding a citation, but fell asleep before I could search for one. I'll get on that now. Abeg92contribs

National Archives ExtravaSCANza

You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!

This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us!

1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited.

Editing help

Are you available to check a submission by a first time submitter? Relatively short item of about three pages, not including references and photos. Also need help on inserting photos. Wikipedia guidance seems to apply to photos form wikipedia itself, not submitter personal photos or scans.

I may be contacted at carterrodger@hotmail.com or my web site, dchis.com. Thanks Rodger Carter RodgerCarter (talk) 19:56, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Article submission, Rodger Carter

The article was written entirely by myself without any cut and pastes from any other document. The references I provided are there to demonstrate the veracity of the submission. URLs were provided in most cases so that the reader can easily check the sources from which the statements in the article originated. The only reference without a URL was for a book and a complete citation was made for that book so that it can easily be checked at most any library.

As to use of web sites, most everything is now searchable on the web. This does not mean that information was generated by a particular web site, but that it has merely become part of the vast amount of material that has been scanned or otherwise made available to researchers by being placed on the web. For example, citation 18 refers to a Dunker advertisement in the March 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine with the page number given as usual in a citation. The URL allows the reader to go immediately to the site where that monthly issue was scanned and to verify the information for himself. This is the case with almost all of the material cited in my article. The only items not cited in this way are photographs which I have gathered on my own web site, dchis.com, most of which are scans from vintage Dunker flyers, or two scans from a book used with permission. If URLs cannot be used to direct readers to the material being discussed so that it can be verified, then it would seem that wikipedia itself is not to be considered a reliable source since it is a URL based enterprise.

If the reviewer would be more specific about which prose is considered to be improper, I believe I can demonstrate otherwise. Likewise the URL references. If the reviewer would prefer to discuss this by email I can be reached at carterrodger@hotmail.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RodgerCarter (talk • contribs) 01:27, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
