Hello MJustice, and great to see that you chose to register!

Actually, I didn't know at all that FENU was the new name of FESU, but I looked at List of universities in Russia and saw that this university was listed with two different names.

The move from Far Eastern State University to Far Eastern National University is now completed. To actually move an article you need to use the "move" tab (next to the "history" tab) which will move everything, history as well and leave a redirect at the original location. Great to have you onboard! Sjakkalle 10:59, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Nellie Bly and the 55-gallon drum

My source was a one-page article in The Petroleum Age, a publication of the American Oil & Gas Historical Society (not a very widely available publication, I'm afraid). The source appears to be Bly's own account of the matter, which may have exaggerated her own role. If you like, I could scan and email you the article, but your source appears to be the most specific. Please feel free to correct the article on Nellie Bly. I appreciate your attention to accuracy.Plazak (talk) 05:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Troy Davis case

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Troy Davis case. Thank you. Hans Adler 08:01, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Hans -- please do not impose your own narrow viewpoint on articles by pretending that information is "unreliably sourced" in order to eliminate what you don't like.

Orphaned non-free image File:Nypost weasels.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Nypost weasels.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:09, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hiram Maxim and mousetrap

Thanks for your message. Do you have a source that either contradicts Maxim's claim, or gives the claim for the first invention to someone else? I'm afraid that your patent investigations count as original research. Your failure to find an American patent does not mean that he did not invent it, so you cannot cite a lack of something as proof of anything. Nor can you use another Wikipedia page as a reference (Wikipedia cannot be used as a reference for itself). If you want to question what the article says, or think the cites given are inadequate then you should either remove them, or mark them with a {{fact}} tag. But you can't contradict what the rest of the article already says without providing any evidence. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 23:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I've left the claim to a mousetrap and removed the rest. I don't think it's hard to believe he invented a mousetrap, but that doesn't necessarily mean one anything like the same design of the patent referenced in the Mousetrap article. It's not worth mentioning the issue any further beyond what can be cited and directly attributed to Maxim. Unless you have a better source that mentions the contested claims or different designs? --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 23:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

'Wickard v. Filburn'

In this edit, you added the phrase "Filburn was ordered to destroy his crops". What source do you have for this? I can't find any source pre-dating your introduction of this claim into the Wikipedia article. Sancho 07:44, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Robert Kroese

The article Robert Kroese has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Proposed deletion of Robert Kroese

The article Robert Kroese has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability - just publishing books isn't enough.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PamD 07:37, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
