Hi, thanks for the review. I just found another bank that opened on 13th Avenue, and added it to the template. BTW, the source for Flushing Bank identifies it as the 17th bank to open on the avenue (in January 2012), making Northfield Bank, which opened in June 2012, the 18th.

A barnstar for you!
My India: The India Eternal Barnstar | ||
Thanks a lot for your work on Khandana Bhava–Bandhana article. Without your help it was not possible to get the article on the main page. Firstly we aimed for Featured article, but that did not go well because of a) our late attempt b) close paraphrasing issues (which we have attempted to fix later) and c) lack of co-ordination between the FA nominator and primary editors of the articles. At the same time I wrote another article and asked another editor to nominate it for DYK. The editor went for holidays and I did not bookmark the DYK nomination page. Later I learned the article was quickfailed because of length. The article has a length of 20,000+ characters (mainly in lists), we could surely expand the prose section. Anyway, it was again unfortunate. At the same time, I started a third article, but the subject was so complex that it was not possible for me to finish the first draft of the article within 1 week (the article is still under construction). I wrote few more articles but, anyhow I could not find way to have something related to Swami Vivekananda on the main page on 12 January 2012, so I almost gave up hope. Thanks a lot for your help, kindness and contribution which helped to have this article featured in Did you know section of 12 January 2013 Wikipedia main Page (archived copy of 12 January 2013's main page) ! --Tito Dutta (talk) 02:01, 12 January 2013 (UTC) Note: Barnstar's title is taken from a book of Swami Vivekananda. |

Yarrell
Hallo PoeticBent, I saw your edit comment, and I am very sorry you felt hurt enough to write it. My edits were hasty, but there is something of a mystery about Yarrell: his book was very widely cited and appreciated for its accuracy, but compared to the plentiful literature on Bewick, it seems to be very hard to find much on Yarrell either as a man or in terms of reviews of his work. I'll have a search on JSTOR and see if I can do a bit better there. I do not mean to be critical of your work - in fact, I'm delighted you are working on Yarrell and am hoping to see much more about him. Sorry again for any ruffled feathers - all the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you, Chiswick Chap, for getting back to me. I suppose, this is only an unwritten rule around here in regard to joint editing; the exact same thing can be said in many different ways! – I examined the PDF copies of Yarrell's book in two volumes (cover to cover; each file over 30 megs in size), and didn't find a single mention of Thompson, nothing... not even one initial in over 500 illustrations. Strange. Poeticbent talk 15:59, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hallo again, PoeticBent, I have managed to lay hands on a First Edition! The Preface does thank Thompson "and his sons" for their long work engraving the figures; the artist who did the drawings and the printers are also handsomely thanked. The version you searched must have omitted at least that part of the preface, maybe lost or thought unimportant. I can scan the page if you're curious. Will also scan some of the engravings, of course. All the best - Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:26, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- The copy of the book by Yarrell available online (at the internet address provided in his article), is the fourth edition in four volumes, revised and enlarged by Prof. Alfred Newton and published by John van Voorst in 1871 (MDCCCLXXI). It includes a Prospectus signed London, March 1871 by Newton, with Errata, and only the Table of contents following. There's no introduction by Yarrell. I see what really happened. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 15:07, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- Oh good. Take a look at History of British Birds (1843) ... Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:27, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

So I created something that passed a DYK muster, would like it to be more comprehensive, but the sources just aren't there... sigh.

We do have Christmas in Poland, at least. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:22, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Notability of writers/poets
I am about to AfD Marcus Slease, but thought I would ask you what you think about this - you have somewhat unique perspective on that that I value. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:38, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the vote of confidence, Piotr. Seeing this, brings back bad memories. With little doubt, the entry is a coi heaven. I suggest, you don't spent your precious time in there or you will drown in quick sand. Cheers, Poeticbent talk 04:51, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Apologies for the mixup — when I close a discussion, I simply copy/paste the header from elsewhere, and apparently this time I forgot to change part of it. Nyttend (talk) 22:33, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Advice Polack
Hello Poeticbent. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Advice Polack, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: G10 is for pages that disparage, threaten, intimidate or harass their subject or some other entity, and serve no other purpose. This does not fit that bill; let the community decide at AfD. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 23:23, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- The AfD was closed because the page had been speedy-deleted G10 by Merovingian (talk); but that deletion was reversed by The Blade of the Northern Lights (talk), so I have re-opened the AfD. JohnCD (talk) 23:38, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- Posting the name and link to picture was a violation of WP:BLP. I have rev-deleted them: do not repost. JohnCD (talk) 23:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think the intent here was to ILLUSTRATE the BLP problems with the article.Volunteer Marek 23:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not a lawyer. Although I always try to help others, I have no time, nor resources, to help a victim of an ugly smear-campaign defend himself against all powerful anons roaming through cyberspace these days. If it was about me, I would contact the wp legal team personally right away, but he probably won't. I gave a good rationale for G10. – If it wasn't for the facts, how else would that disparaging page be deleted. No doubt, Merovingian knew that too when making a difficult decision, Poeticbent talk 00:10, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- The page does not disparage anyone, but rather reports on what appears to be an established if sad ongoing event, in a way that makes clear the injustice of what was done. Since you are clearly familiar with Polish culture and media, it would be helpful if you would comment on individual sources at Talk:Advice Polack so we can sort out what is and isn't reliable information for the article. In particular we should, if at all possible, use sources which reveal as little personal information as possible about the individual involved, including his actual likeness. Finding such sources may be difficult and your help would be invaluable. EEng (talk) 04:18, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- I have no further interest in the matter. I'm sure you'll understand. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 06:18, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

No, actually I don't. You're concerned enough to try to get the article deleted through misuse of WP guidelines, but not concerned enough to do the hard work of vetting the article's sources. EEng (talk) 12:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
For inspiration
This is for nothing in particular, just generally the inspiring example in editing and discussions which is always uplifting first and foremost.

Can you do me a favor
I think you fixed a copyvio at [1], done by one of my students. Can you explain on their talk page what they did wrong? I could do it myself but I like the students to see there is more to Wikipedia than just me :) Thanks, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:46, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
