You proposed Category:Church buildings in the United States by state to Category:Churches in the United States by state

I commented Because "church" can mean both the congregation and the building it occupies, many local church articles cover both the congregation and its building; some are only about the congregation and some are only about the building. is quite right, but there are church buildings which have become mosques or office buildings. I support the change, but ask that somehow the congregation/parish/denomination vs. the building (currently or formerly a "church") distinction be recognized and handled.

How can the needed distinctions be handled? --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:09, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of repurposing the entire "churches" hierarchy to become a "church buildings" tree, create "church buildings" categories -- and use the many "church buildings" categories that currently exist (including "former church buildings" categories that exist for churches that became something else) -- for those articles that are strictly about buildings. --Orlady (talk) 16:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I wrote most of the Olympic marmot article and put it up for GA review, which you started to do. I addressed all your concerns but then you never came back to it after dropping in and out and adding more plus marks on the rubric. The problems have been fixed since January 17th, so I was wondering if you could please come and tell me if there's anything else I need to do to finish the review and get it to GA. I know with the whole SOPA controversy, everything on Wikipedia got a little bit hectic so I understand if you've been too busy!

The following has just been added to the page by the Euclid messenger: The September 2011 edition of The Official Journal of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation described 'EUCLID' as an educational framework with a university charter.[14] The problem is that this article is written like a press release and it is the ONLY evidence Euclid was able to come up with that they have a university charter. How come they are not able to cite the actual charter document itself? Maybe you'd want to look into and cast your opinion? Also read the talk page for outing attempts.

Hi there, Orlady. I notice you're starting to repopulate Category:Churches in Tennessee in a way that seems contrary to the close of this recent discussion. There's another discussion going on here about the renaming categories in the "churches/church buildings" tree, and I think it'd be great if you contributed to that. But repopulating the category should only be done if the result is overturned on WP:DRV or this new discussion leads to a result that overturns the previous one. I've set Cydebot on returning the contents to the new category. Reasonable enough?--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I needed advise with an editor who in my opinion is continually disruptive in the Thomas Jefferson article. TheDarkOneLives is constantly accusing other editors of bias and recently has made a personal attack on an editor's native language. I believe his last edits done without editor concensus also prohibited other editors from editing by forcing a lockdown on the Thomas Jefferson article. I have asked TheDarkOneLives to stop this disruptive behavior to no avail. Can anything be done concerning this situation? Cmguy777 (talk) 16:11, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The situation had become so toxic between Brad, Gwillhickers, and TheDarkOneLives, and myself in the discussion page, I stopped contributing to the Thomas Jefferson article or participating in the discussion page. In my opinion Brad, Gwillhickers, and TheDarkOneLives have established ownership of the article. The main issue under controversy is historical consensus on whether Thomas Jefferson is the father of Sally Heming's children. Cmguy777 (talk) 02:00, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A significant chunk of the Category:Irish-American neighborhoods recently tagged were added for New Jersey municipalities and places. I wanted to see how it panned out, but I think that I had many of the same concerns that you had, especially in determining what criteria made a neighborhood Irish, as none were specified in the description of the category itself. As to the reliability of City-Data, I have also had concerns about the sources of the data, though everything that I have been able to trace back to an original source matches. As an example the City-Data info on ancestry for Glen Ridge, New Jersey matches the ancestry data for Glen Ridge from the 2000 United States Census. City-Data does a poor job of tracing back to original sources and specifying timeframes, but the data does appear to be reasonably reliable in aggregating data from a wide variety of sources. In terms of models for this type of category, we do have existing Category:Populated places in the United States with African American plurality populations, Category:Populated places in the United States with Asian plurality populations and Category:Populated places in the United States with Hispanic plurality populations, with the first providing a model in its definition as including places with "more African Americans than any other defined ethnic or racial group (such as Asians, whites, Hispanics or Native Americans) but African Americans do not constitutute a majority of the population." Using Glen Ridge as an example, could the Category:Irish-American neighborhoods be renamed / repurposed as Category:Populated places in the United States with Irish plurality populations? I'm not sure myself, but I'd appreciate your thoughts on this issue. Alansohn (talk) 16:52, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Best regards,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 13:53, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. However, I'm not likely to do a lot more there. It was generous of you to suggest that I visit the Cornell University library, but that's an expensive airline trip for me, and I probably wouldn't have access anyway. I started the article because it was a redlink and the name had an unusual spelling. Maybe someone else can pick up on it. --Orlady (talk) 16:07, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Orlady

You helped so much with one of my previous DYKs, which also dealt with the house of labor, so I thought you might be a New Yorker.

Perhaps another editor may be found near the shores of Lake Cayuga, perhaps enjoying the Moosewood Restaurant....

In passing by Hyles–Anderson College (which appears to be within your specialty of unaccredited schools), I see several SPAs working over the article to remove what they term defamation, as well as adding things like "Hyles-Anderson College is home to some of the greatest Christian educators and Bible scholars today." A superficial review shows that they are removing sourced information of an unflattering nature, but I haven't had a chance to review the quality of the references to see if they support the allegations, and they may represent undue emphasis. Still, it looks like some sanitizing is taking place, as well as editing by related accounts. Could you take a look? I'll check some references as time permits. Acroterion (talk) 18:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say that the last section of this revision [2], while sourced to offline references that I can't verify, represents a fair degree of coatracking, but other references check out. I'm inclined to revert to the version mentioned above, minus the final section. Acroterion (talk) 18:57, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Argh! For some reason I thought I had a history with that article, but I don't see it. I did some work there (similar to what you suggested), but more is needed. Maybe we can end up with a fairly neutral article... --Orlady (talk) 21:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Argh indeed, it veers wildly from one extreme to the other. I'm going to have a whack at the "abuse" section when I get the chance, as there's a separate article on the founder, and much else doesn't seem to directly concern the college. Thanks for taking a look. Acroterion (talk) 21:57, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the remainder of the "Abuse" section. While referenced, it's almost 20 years old and is undue weight. A section on a staff member convicted of abuse doesn't have bearing on the school, and the TV investigation amounts to little more than innuendo with respect to the school itself. Viewed though the lens of "what does this really have to do with the subject of the article?" I didn't see much of a rationale for inclusion, but do see a synthetic statement.

This commendable work helps to recognize the efforts of others, and I believe it helps grow the encyclopedia. Excellent! Binksternet (talk) 23:51, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was pretty pleased with myself when I found that page! Now I'm wondering if Orno's co-author Leroy Quet is also a pseudonym. --Orlady (talk) 23:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for your efforts on Somewhere I Have Never Traveled. I was a virgin, and you were so kind.  :- ) DCS 18:15, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a little thank you for reviewing my last DYK nom. I didn't discover you'd been there till after it was closed and in prep. Thanks also for the improvements to the article. Marrante (talk) 21:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and I sent you an e-mail. Marrante (talk) 20:23, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
