Zeigler's Grove

Hi, yes you did get the code for the redirect right. Now do you want to explain in the article on the battlefield why part of it is called Zeigler's Grove :-) NtheP (talk) 19:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

DYK for V-2 rocket facilities of World War II

The article above which you started has been nominated for Did you know? by Piotrus (talk), and seems to me to meet the criteria. However I've suggested a stronger hook that would need you to make a couple of small modifications with additional references, which I'm sure you could readily add from the source materials you've been working from, if you are able to do so.

Welcome!

Welcome! It's always delightful to meet a brand new user who is comfortable enough to create a new category with their very first edit. We need more editors who can sort categories, create redirects, and discuss the intricacies of Wikipedia policy less than a month after getting an account. - Dravecky (talk) 04:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

DYK for V-2 rocket facilities of World War II

Thanks from me and the wiki Victuallers (talk) 14:49, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

The fact from your impressive article is now featured on the Portal:Germany! In case you write more on German topics, feel free to move a DYK fact there yourself and also archive the article. You didn't add this one to DYKSTATS yet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Pine Grove Furnace

Just wanted to leave a note and say "Great work!" I'm really impressed by all the material you added on the history of the furnace. We should consider spinning off the South Mountain (when I can figure out the disambiguation) and the Hunter's Run and Slate Belt--I can supply more data from Taber's "Railroads of Pennsylvania" and a little digging on Google Books will probably turn up D'Invilliers' maps of the ore pits as well. Choess (talk) 12:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Streckelsberg

Hi Target, can you please confirm where the text you have removed from the Streckelsberg article has gone to? It would be a pity to lose it. --Bermicourt (talk) 13:53, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

File:1863 Gettysburg Battlefield - Big Round Top, Days 2 and 3.png

Hi! You have mentioned File:Big Round Top.png as a source but I can't find that file. Perhaps you could have a look? Also you link to File:Little Round Top2.png which is licensed cc-by-3.0. So perhaps you would also be willing to add that license to your file? --MGA73 (talk) 17:07, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Pennsylvania Route 134

Per WP:USRD/STDS, the major intersections table is to be its own section with its own header and is supposed to be in south-to-north order. Dough4872 05:02, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Why did you change the page to follow your preferred section order, when that is clearly against consensus? --Rschen7754 20:12, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

La coupole

When I first looked at your edit, I thought it was vandalism. Material removed without reason, references disrupted,... When I looked closer, I realize it was a good faith edit. Here are my remarks:

• I brought back all the material you removed without either reason or reaching consensus.
• I incorporate your contributions to the existing text.
• I redirected back the page on the bombings ... because this page was originally moved from a similar page. If you wish to spin out this part of the article to a separate page, no problem. Please use the talk page to discuss this issue and reach consensus.
• References style. I changed some of your reference back to Harvnb style to keep the same style accross the article

I have responded to your comments about the citations and fix them when appropriate. Thank you for digging in the references and pinpointing errors.

Hello

Hi Target for Today, Just wanted to let you know that I saw that you created the new article Martin AN/FSG-I Antiaircraft Defense System--However, I noticed there are some holes that may need filling: some of the article's Wikilinks are broken.

It would be great if you could also Wikify the related article Fredericton Fire Department.

Category:Cold War by year

Hello, TfT - I see that you've just created a couple of new subcategories, so I thought you would want to know that Category:Cold War by year and its other sub-cats (which I created) are up for possible deletion. Given your evident interest in the Cold War, I would think that between the two of us we should be able to get Category:Cold War by year sufficiently fleshed out to justify keeping these categories. Please respond as you wish in the discussion at CFD. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 05:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello again - I see you were back briefly a couple of days ago... perhaps you missed my note or didn't have time to reply. In any event, please let me know what you think regarding my initial query. Thanks. Cgingold (talk) 21:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Evergreen Gatehouse vs. Cemetery articles

I'm not sure that I would have started a new article for the gatehouse by itself, but I'm sure if you put more content into both articles you could certainly justify the split. You seem to do a lot in the Gettysburg area. Is there any chance I could convince you to take and upload photos of National Register of Historic Places listings in Adams County, Pennsylvania? Only half of the 32 sites are currently illustrated. BTW, there will be a NRHP photo contest starting Oct. 21 - see Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Fall 2011 Photo Contest. Any help appreciated. Smallbones (talk) 18:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Cyclorama Building at Gettysburg

In this edit of January 25 you added an infobox to Cyclorama Building at Gettysburg. Alas, you substituted it, instead of transcluding.

Today I fixed this. I hope, I did well. However, you added some parameters which are to the best of my knowledge not in available in the NRHP infobox. Namely, "status" and "eligible". Unless I missed something, these parameters are lost now. Debresser (talk) 00:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of "Survival Town" Atom Test

The article "Survival Town" Atom Test has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not notable, based on a 2 1/2 minute clip on Youtube

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Slow down

You are creating categories far too quickly, as can be deduced by the long list above of deletions. Eg one orchard somewhere does not necessitate a whole Category:Orchards with country and state subcats. Occuli (talk) 15:15, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

• I certainly agree with Occuli: I'm seeing categories created and left empty, or almost so; a poor grasp of WP:OC#SHAREDNAMES with the "fields" category; and a hasty creation of the Gettysburg landform category before the Gettysburg places CfD has even been resolved. It's not a race: some more careful consideration would be advised, I think. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:30, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Cease and desist order

You appear to be ploughing on with activity with no regard to whether your edits are within consensus [1]. Please cease from making categories about military sites, former military sites or Gettysburg until you have thoroughly discussed the matter with other editors. Failure to do this will result in a block.

Please also read and understand WP:PROJCATS. Category:Article Rescue Squadron/Wikipedia deletion sorting/Gettysburg is not part of Category:Gettysburg Battlefield and further edit warring to re-add that category will also result in a block. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 21:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Please address this issue further

Several other users at the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Target for Today and category churning did not feel that you adequately answered the issues raised there. There is also the question of the dozens of articles you have created which cover every detail of the battlefield, also asked at the same page and at the MILHIST talk page. As you can see from the above comment and from the AN/I page, there is a growing concensus that you should be blocked from creating any new categories. I suggest that you refrain from creating any new categories and articles until you resolve this problem. Wild Wolf (talk) 05:11, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

January 2012

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. From the ANI discussion regarding your behavior, which you were notified of and even commented on once, there is clear evidence that you have been disruptively creating an excessive number of categories. That, in and of itself, is not a huge problem, because that conceivably could be fixed through some communication. The real problem is that there hasn't been any communication from you whatsoever. Your one contribution to that ANI discussion discussion was about a trivial issue; you in no way attempted to discuss the broader issue of your mass category creation and general interaction with other users. Sadly, this simply isn't acceptable behavior. Wikipedia requires collaboration between editors, and that can't happen unless you're first willing to discuss matters. You were given a final chance to respond and instructed not to engage in the same activities, and yet you persisted. As such, I cannot see any other way to get through to you other than to prevent you from editing. However, please note that this block can be lifted, if you are willing to show us that you will start talking, agree to stop creating categories until you can learn a little more about how to do so, and stop making incivil comments to others. If you are interested in doing this--in actually collaborating with the community, rather than just doing whatever you personally think is right--please respond to the message here. You can directly request an unblock by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first, and you should make sure to actually address the concerns of other editors in such a request.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lynchburg Campaign

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Lynchburg Campaign requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 23:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
