Hello Flowerpotman, thank you for your welcome on my talk page! I'm a bit out of practicing English language. Could I ask you to overlook if creating a new article on my work page? Sunny greetings --Tschips (talk) 07:54, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

I might not be available that much on Wikipedia in the next few weeks and my German is unfortunately rather rusty - your English is probably better than my German. I think the best thing would be for you to add the {{Template:Proofreader needed}} template here to the articles as you create them; this will get the attention of more experienced proofreaders. The articles wouldn't need that much work. I have added the template to the Louis Dangeard article. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 20:22, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello Flowerpotman! This is a very helpful advise, thank you. And again for adding the tag to the Louis Dangeard article. Unfortunately we do not have this possibility on the German wiki - or may be I do not know about it. So if you need some help with german language feel free to contact me. Best (herzlichst) from --Tschips (talk) 20:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Ardnacrusha (village)

Hi, Flowerpotman. The citation for the Thomond Bridge comment was already in the article. Clare County Library website which was apparently taken from Francis Guy's Directory 1886. Of course, I interpreted it wrong and looking now at the google earth map, you are clearly correct. They are miles apart. I suppose what they were trying to write was that, in that day, Thomond Bridge was the nearest crossing to the city of Limerick. Anyway, that is only my speculation and the entry isn't needed. Cheers. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 20:39, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

• No worries. Really my fault for dipping in and out of Wikipedia today, while doing something else, and being too distracted too easily by other things, which resulted with me not taking the time to explain myself properly. (I know, I know. There are talk pages for this sort of thing :). Actually while I looked at the cite for the Ard na Croise name, I missed the bit at the end. You didn't misinterpret the reference; the Francis Guy's Directory of Munster 1886 extract was misleading, even in 1886. It gives the impression that you crossed Thomond Bridge from east to west out of the city and you were soon in Ardnacrusha, which was never the case. (If you use the coordinates in the King John's Castle (Limerick) article in Google maps or Google Earth, the bridge just to the north-west of the castle is Thomond Bridge.) By 1886, there was a substantial part of the city on the northern/western side of the river, but still 4 miles or so from the edge of the city to Ardancrusha and there would have been an easier route going NNE from the city. The geo-cordinates generated through Geo-hack were a couple of miles out as well. (They almost ended up on my old school in the city. (I hadn't really realized how much that area had been built up in the last 20-(errr)something years; that was empty fields with a few houses in my day. I have tweaked the coordinates again tonight. Anyway, it all sorted itself out by the end and of course, kudos for putting in the time on it. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, it's great to have an old local "kid" sort it out. Thanks. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 16:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Philip Browne

Well spotted - I checked around and reckon this is blatant enough to be speedy-tagged db-hoax, particularly as the author's other article Ronald Falkner is an even more blatant hoax complete with false references. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Not quite sure why I didn't go for a db-hoax myself. My favourite hoax of the week though was the Grammy-winning supergroup consisting of Bowie, Clapton, Starr and Richard (Cliff (Sir)); almost wished it was true. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 19:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Cripes that was quick, I'd just gone back to clean up the links. There's always one snafu that slips byTheLongTone (talk) 23:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

• No worries. I was marking the article as patrolled on new pages and saw the problem with the link. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:49, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Silent Minority

I would ask that you re-visit the article to see that many of the nominator's concerns have been addresses. The unsourced new article that was first nominated has now been expanded and sourced since that nomination. It is my thought that we do toss what can be easily fixed simply because the article was incomplete. He asked for sources that addressed the film drectly and in detail and apart from those you found, Glasgow Herald addresses the film and its controversy directly and in detail,[1] as do articles in Yorkshire Post.[2] [3] [4] That the film has then made it into the enduring record is futher evidence of its notability. Beter for the project and its readers that we continue to improve the article rather than toss it because an earlier version was flawed. Regards, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:12, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction

I've deprodded, moved the article to John O'Neill, 3rd Earl of Tyrone, and edited it using sources. Fences&Windows 20:20, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

No problem. I am actually looking for sources myself at the moment. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 20:43, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

The Fall of the City

Thanks. Actually I found mention of another composer, Nicholas Nabokov, wanting to write an opera on the play as early as the 1940s. He eventually selected another MacLeish work. Still hope to had some more info. -- kosboot (talk) 17:04, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Articles Sources

Apologies if I am doing this wrong! In regards to Indigenous paperwork and newspapers, since so much of our culture is unavailable online -to cite sources and reference people are we allowed to scan in newspaper articles? And apologies for the allmovie links, there are quite a few people with the same name and even their credits get intermingled with each others.Jeffbytes (talk) 19:00, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid the problems here go way beyond just finding sources. Many of the sources which you have offered do not mention the subject of the article. Take, for instance, the assertion "and is regarded as one of the leading advocates for Blood Quantum Reform" which is referenced using a link to a story on the BBC website, which does not mention Robin McGee. Another obvious example is the reference that links to an article from the Village Voice; the assertion that the reference is supposed to verify is "In 2006, Maxkii-Mcgee gained notoriety for work outside film, after speaking about the effects of blood quantum on tribal enrollment at the infamous radical activist underground ABC No Rio". However, not only does the Village Voice article not mention the subject, the article is from 1996, when Robin McGee would have been 6 years old. As for her acting career, judging from the IMDb entry, it is highly unlikely that the subject would pass the notabilty requirements for inclusion on Wikipedia – you can see the requirements here.FlowerpotmaN·(t) 19:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Ah, understood. Can I delete the entire entry now? If so, what do I click on? Also, I am not sure if I should even attempt articles for James and Ernie or Turquoise Rose, who like the other entry, seem to mostly exist in the native world and are invisible to the rest of you. Thanks for your time and again, apologies. Jeffbytes (talk) 19:38, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
