Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I have moved Mill Creek (Wharton Creek) to Draft:Mill Creek (Wharton Creek) as, while most likely notable, the draft does not contain any references and could use some improvement. Please see WP:CITE and the teahouse if you have any questions. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 06:52, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed that you moved this page however there was no improvements made? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 18:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit [1], you added information that is unsourced and subject to removal. All information must be WP:verifiable, regardless of whether you know it is accurate yourself. Please provide a source. MB 15:55, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I have moved Center Brook to Draft:Center Brook as it does not contain any references at this time. This allows you (and other editors should they choose) more time to work with improving the article as it could have been tagged for deletion without references. Thank you for the work you have done so far & please feel free to submit to AfC or move it back to the article namespace once reliable and independent references have been added and other improvements made. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 17:09, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing the issues raised, could you please see about doing the same for Shawler Brook? Thanks! --TheSandDoctor (talk) 18:44, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there 420Traveler! I just wanted to let you know that Willow Brook (New York) has been moved to Draft:Willow Brook (New York) as it does not appear ready for the main article namespace at this time. Once this draft has been improved, please feel free to submit it for AfC (for a second opinion) or move it back into the main namespace yourself (assuming you are an extended confirmed user). --TheSandDoctor (talk) 05:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I moved Leatherstocking Creek to Draft:Leatherstocking Creek because I think your article has potential and notability but just isn't there yet, and I don't want it to be deleted. I'd specifically work on adding citations, as your article was unsourced, and adding content as well -- it's one thing to be a stub, but another to not be anything at all. Cheers! ɯɐɔ 21:25, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I appreciate your enthusiasm for streams, but you should know that the "Tributaries" field in the Rivers Geobox is intended for "major tributaries" (emphasis added) per the instructions at Template:Geobox/legend#Fields. For smaller streams this may include more or less each named tributary, but for large rivers, adding dozens of small creeks that join the stream is inappropriate. Infoboxes and geoboxes are intended to give just the major highlights of a subject, not every small detail.

For this reason, I will be removing the streams added over this series of edits. I would suggest that this level of detail would be more appropriate as a list in a "Tributaries" section of the article, but only if you add sources (as others have echoed above; references are not optional).

If you have references, but are uncertain how to add them, please let me know and I can try to help. Thanks and take care - Antepenultimate (talk) 11:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You should have put them in a section instead of deleting them. You are making Wikipedia worse. You should try making a page instead of telling people what to do!

Hi Tripp155.
I strongly advise adding:

== References ==
{{Reflist}}

Below the body text on all the pages you are creating, as I did here.

Regards, 220 of ^Borg 02:54, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I have already worked on a couple of your pages. Also you should have more than one source. Reb1981 (talk) 02:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding the reference section. And I add every source I use. But if I use one source I can't add multiple citations because it would be impossible.

What so you mean that is impossible? All pages I work on have many references. Please do research. Reb1981 (talk) 05:39, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - please stop creating pages so quickly as they all still can be greatly improved in order to be valuable contributions to the encyclopedia. Take a read through Template:Cite web - you are currently using the |first= and |last= parameters incorrectly in all of the articles you created. You should also be adding a section heading for the references as mentioned above. The pages also need to be stubbed (as was done here) and categorized. And, personally, I would like to see more than one reference for all of these streams - they may not all be notable enough for their own article, and it is partially up to you to prove they are. I'm happy to help if you have questions, but please stop making new pages until you have fixed the issues with the ones you already started and understand all of the aspects of a new page so that we don't have to continue cleaning up after you. Your attitude is also not helping - do mind yourself or it could end in a block from editing. Regards, "Pepper" @ 05:05, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That road is not notable whatsoever. No article should be created. Mitch32^{(The many fail: the one succeeds.)} 02:37, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTNOTABLE. Also, the only reason CR 18 has its own is because of history as being part of NY 413. Mitch32^{(The many fail: the one succeeds.)} 03:05, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

County routes are not notable in general. I'm trying to ask you to stop before doing so. If you have a route not named Otsego 26 to talk about, let's hear it. Mitch32^{(The many fail: the one succeeds.)} 03:09, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can tell you with certainty that is not the case. You can have 1000 sources and the road may not be notable for a Wikipedia article. The fact that you don't want to at least tell me your subject material makes me seriously concerned. Mitch32^{(The many fail: the one succeeds.)} 03:19, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:USRD/STDS - max 10 junctions per infobox. Mitch32^{(The many fail: the one succeeds.)} 03:29, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be able to tell me how to make County highway shields and other types. I need to make some for the new page about otsego county highway 34 Tripp155 (talk) 07:52, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks in advance Tripp155 (talk) 07:52, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We have a rule here called WP:3RR, meaning you can potentially get up to 3 reversions on an article in a day. This 3-reversion limit isn't a guarantee, but in short, continuing to revert or reinsert the same content over and over again in an article is edit warring, and that is not allowed. Edit warring destabilizes our content for our readers. Unlike regular editing that is supposed to continually improve our content, constant reversions back and forth mean that readers are getting different content without any improvements. As a consequence, accounts that are edit warring can be blocked from editing.

When you disagree with something, the best course of action is to follow WP:BRD: Bold, Revert, Discuss. That means if you were Bold in adding something, but someone else Reverted that addition, then the next course of action is to Discuss it. Now, you've opened a discussion at User talk:Rschen7754, so you've unwittingly followed that process, but then you reverted and added that junction back into the article, which wasn't a good idea. We also operate by consensus around here, and if multiple editors (I count 3 of us so far) are removing specific edits, there's probably a very good reason why related to a past consensus. Imzadi 1979 → 06:06, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would it make more sense to group all these tributaries into a list article at something like Tributaries of the Black River rather than have a host of stubs? VQuakr (talk) 06:55, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You've certainly dove right in! Just wanted to recognize your contributions and to say if you have editing questions I'm hoping to help if I can. I just spruced up Woodhull Lake (New York) a bit. I'd recommend copy-pasting the templates on the talk page on to new pages you create. Also adding the appropriate geo stubs is helpful too. See Category:New York geography stubs for some of the ones you can add. Cheers! Keep up the good work! EvergreenFir (talk) 06:10, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tripp155, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Lord Roem ~ (talk) 23:01, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A tag has been placed on Jessup River Wild Forest requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/22599.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa  (talk) 23:15, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
