Churn drill

Hello, I noticed that parts of Churn drill come from http://www.maden.hacettepe.edu.tr/dmmrt/dmmrt217.html Is that public domain material? If not, that would be a a copyright violation and that material should be removed. Thanks. Samw 01:35, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Outpost Island Mine

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Outpost Island Mine, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 19:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sutherland's Drug Store

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Sutherland's Drug Store, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Sutherland's Drug Store. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Areas of Yellowknife

I noticed that in the discussion at Talk:Peace River#Requested move, Skookum1 mentioned Peace River Flats. That got me to thinking that Wikipedia could use an article on the areas/neighbourhoods of Yellowknife. So I thought I'd look around and see what there was available. Of course most of what is available has your name on it. So I was wondering if you would be interested in creating such an article? Happy New Year.

Port Radium

Hi. Where have you gotten this information that Port Radium is a National Historic Site? I can't find any reference to it being one, or even once having been one. What am I missing? Cheers, --Skeezix1000 (talk) 18:17, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All I can find is that in 1973 the feds designated the Mining National Historic Event (not a National Historic Site) and subsequently installing plaques across the country (Noranda, Asbestos, South Porcupine, Sudbury, Cobalt, Port Radium, Labrador City), with the plaque at Port radium (installed in 1978) commemorating the uranium industry. Unlike National Historic Sites, National Historic Events don't necessarily attach to any one location. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 18:23, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. It is not a National Historic Site. It is not listed as one at the DFHD. There was no "intent" back in 1978 to designates this as a NHS, nor is this something that has been forgotten over time -- the official listing indicates quite clearly, as I stated above, that the plaque was installed in 1978 (along with 6 other towns) to commemorate a National Historic Event. Both are federal designations, but they are not interchangeable. It is a plaque location for a NHE, not a NHS. On the face of official federal records, the newspaper clipping you seem to have from 35 years ago is obviously incorrect. Please do not reinsert incorrect information into articles. If you disagree with the federal records, initiate a discussion on the article talk page, as per WP:CON and WP:BRD, but please do not re-add information for which there is no consensus. Thanks. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 22:08, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

a heads up

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Steamboats of the Mackenzie River a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Boats of the Mackenzie River Watershed. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Geo Swan (talk) 04:06, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks

I left a comment at Talk:Boats_of_the_Mackenzie_River_Watershed, where I offered the opinion that all the vessels listed there were potential topics for standalone articles. The wikipedia's guidelines for redlinks say it is okay to include wikilinks to non-existent articles, if the topic of the wikilink is potentially a reasonable topic for an article.

Maritime vessels is a field where, by long-standing convention, articles are kept, providing there are some reasonable references.

There is something else I noticed. Today you edited some entries in the table, like that for vessels named Alcan, where you left that entry describing two vessels. Are you sure that is a good idea?

It is pretty routine for vessels to be renamed, for instance when a new agency begins operating them, or there is a change in ownership. So, for me, this is a strong argument for each entry to describe just one vessel.

Gordon A. Allen moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Gordon A. Allen, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gordon A. Allen (March 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sulfurboy was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Hard to see how any of their notability exceeds WP:LOCAL coverage
