about the reference here?<BR>

Life is supposed to be interesting.  But, this interesting?<BR>

::I recently had a bit on contact with [[Alois Lang]]'s grand (great-grand?) son but have not managed to squeeze anything out of him yet.  It is interesting to note how many of these (our) sculptor's descendants (after skipping a generation or so) are looking around for what can be found about gramps.  ThanksG was at the McDonalds as always, and was, as always an interesting event.  And you?  [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 18:13, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

PS - you did notice the footnote/reference I put in on the Pittsburgh building?  eeek


== Herring Coe ==

It's funny that you would ask... yes I do know about Mr. Coe. I would say his greatest work in Beaumont would be the [[Jefferson County Courthouse (Texas)|Jefferson County Courthouse]]. It has some amazing detail work. He also did the [[First National Bank Building (Beaumont, Texas)|First National Bank Building]]. Detailed pictures of this building can be found at houstondeco.org. I'm not sure what other buildings he has done, but I know someone who will know... [[User:Regrothenberger|Regrothenberger]] ([[User talk:Regrothenberger|talk]]) 02:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

== Just got an email ==

from [[Emil Siebern]]'s  niece.  Not much new info, but the stuff about the lawsuit against [[Charles Niehaus]] might be fun. Also the [[Black Hand (extortion)|Black Hand]] trying to burn his house down.  Not all that relevant, but good gossip value, and isn't that what history is really about? [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 17:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
:Life is pretty busy, getting ready for winter, which I know will come tho it is still pretty warm in the days. [[Châteauesque]] has been bugging me for a while so I just decided to leap into it.  Thanks for lossing our the [[red architect]].  I was wondering about him but was still assuming "good faith."  Silly me.  I'm at work - later.

== If you have time ==

Some time ago, you did a huge and very nice gesture checking the article “Ethereal being” and removing the copy-edit Tag. This article has been improved the last six months until few days ago some user(s) messed it and filled it with tags.  Would be possible you check again the copy-edit issue, and remove the tag if seems ok to you? Ah, you may find strange the article, that’s because, after that, other user downsized all the images (not the ideal, but he said that were wp rules… kind of, I think). If you are too busy, don’t worry, I absolutely understand, Thanks anyway. 

Hi Lockley, sorry I have forgot one other thing (if it is not too much asking). I started a stub to French philosopher [[Jean Chevalier (writer)|Jean Chevalier]], do you know who could have the expertise to expand his biography? Best, <small>[[User:Hour of Angels|Hour of Angels]] ([[User talk:Hour of Angels|talk]]) 17:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)</small>

:Hi there Lockley. Sorry take so long for appropriately replying you, I think I owe you a right expression of gratitude. So, I just would like to thank you for your assistance in “Jean Chevalier”. In fact I asked for others favors too, but of course, I appreciated anyway what you could to do. And specifically I’d like thank you for your words of encouragement made in that occasion (meant a lot of difference to me)and your frank sympathy. All best, <small>[[User:Hour of Angels|Hour of Angels]] ([[User talk:Hour of Angels|talk]]) 15:08, 18 June 2011 (UTC)</small>.

== Short films ==

Thanks for your work on the short film categories. However, please don't remove the parent category of [[:Category:American films]], even if it has sub-cat, per [[WP:FILMCAT]]. If you have a query about this, please raise it at the Film Project's [[WT:FILM|talkpage]].

==New Category: American silent feature films==
Hi Lockley,  that's a great new feature started in the categorys of American silent films. Is that a bot or are you actually going through your paces linking up each film. While I'm not keen on too many categories, this new one sorts out 'features' from 'shorts' such as two-reelers and also 'serials' which are several films in one.  Again great initiative . I don't know what's to happen to the old "American silent films" category, should we keep it as a supplementary category or do away with it.  Also are you good with uploading film poster? I ask because of my bungling with ''[[The Barrier (film)|The Barrier]]'', a marvelous French release poster of this lost silent film. Thanks much again.

== William Desmond Taylor edits ==

I'm doubtful about the 21 December 2011 edits made to [[William_Desmond_Taylor]]. I have seen no contemporary evidence that Taylor directed ''A Soul Astray'', ''A Story of Little Italy'', ''The Son of Thomas Gray'', ''The Beggar Child'', ''The Song of the Sea Shell'', or ''A Slice of Life''.  Taylor's film career is fairly well documented, and I have seen nothing to indicate that he worked for [[Flying_A_Studios|American Film]] until 1915. IMDB is very unreliable.  According to scholarly U.C. Santa Barbara web site http://www.filmandmedia.ucsb.edu/flyinga , ''A Soul Astray'' was directed by Thomas Ricketts; ''A Story of Little Italy'' and ''The Son of Thomas Gray'' were directed by Lorimer Johnston; ''The Beggar Child'', ''The Song of the Sea Shell'' and ''A Slice of Life'' were directed by Henry Otto;    Even if Taylor did direct those films (which I doubt), what makes them "notable"?  They were not feature films and made no impact, then or afterward.  If they are listed, then I suggest the "notable" adjective be deleted.

and I still have not heard back from Nick.  Life.  What a place to live. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 01:23, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
:Your voice, even in written form is the breath of life.  No need to move anything, tho I'd like to keep the "Why the World Needs This Book" pages too, if possible.  That was your doing but I use it as my webpage (when asked) a lot.  SOme one has done a self-published book on Padducci that looks like .... it does not make sense.  Someone I know has ordered it, I am quite interested to learn what it is.  KM Oswald Hoepfner's grandkids have appeared - turns out that we more or less missed Hoepfner, who I think was a modeler  in Perth Amboy for Ricci and/or Donnelley.  Things - little things - are happening again.  [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 16:32, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

== I did not know ==

that Morley was connected with the Fisher Theater.  Gadzoooks, it is a small world.  The Morley house in Santa Fe is one of the original [[Pueblo Revival]] events, now surrounded by an 8 foot (give or take) wall.  Morley's efforts as a spy in Central America during WWI is another odd moment.  I received a disc in the mail, a friend is looking at it for me.  Life here is even more intense than normal.

== Recently (yesterday) ==

a kindly but knowledgeable wikipedian made us a map of all the architectural sculpture in the US - after I supplied him with all the zip codes. I plan on posting it somewhere here (wikipedia) and will let you know when it happens. It might look nice on our web site too.  Life is    .   .   .  .  .  .  . . . . . ....... complex. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 20:40, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
:oh, that's great!  when it appears (or when you send it over) I'll be glad to post it on our little web site.  I've also been thinking about starting a Facebook group on the topic, as a place for friendly conversation & questions & stuff like that.  What do you think?  --[[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 20:49, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
::I'm at work, and am not paid to think, but yeah, it all feels great. (Librarians operate mostly on feelings) When I get home I'll post and send the maps, and since HI and AK are seperate maps with little to show the [[Lower 48]]should do the trick.  It looks great, tho I have not had the time to really enjoy it. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 20:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Come to think of it, I believe the map was sent to our embudo email address, so feel free to stop by. [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 20:55, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

== Convict Leasing ==
Hello Lockley. Thanks for the edit regarding the Selma Rome & Dalton Railroad reference within the convict leasing article. I think that there is still a problem in that the article includes a link to a Georgia and Alabama Railroad article that includes the statement: "The Georgia & Alabama railroad began operation on June 1, 1989..." Thus, it can't be the convict-lease-era Georgia & Alabama railroad, given the start date of 1989. (I was not sure if this comment should be on my talk page, your talk page, or the article talk page. Please let me know if I have responded inappropriately. Thanks.  [[User:Cycloneta|Cycloneta]] ([[User talk:Cycloneta|talk]]) 04:09, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

== Infoboxes ==

Lockely, I like all the new dam articles you have been making, particularly [[List of United States Bureau of Reclamation dams]] which is a great overview to what they did in the west. I am curious though if you wouldn't mind adding [[Template:Infobox dam]] to anymore new articles you make. It will save an editor time later if they expand the article and you can plus the coordinates in for a map which can add context to an article w/o an image. Thanks.--[[User:NortyNort|NortyNort]]  <small>[[User talk:NortyNort|(Holla)]]</small> 18:52, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
:A good thing about the infobox is that it will expand just as much as the info in it, even if it is a little. Great idea on the use, I thought we had everything in there. Most lists of dams include the uses and the infobox should too. I will get to it in a week or so and can update articles too. I will finally have some free time here shortly.--[[User:NortyNort|NortyNort]]  <small>[[User talk:NortyNort|(Holla)]]</small> 00:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

==Redundancy==

Hi Lockley, I noticed that you recently added some information to the [[Rasmussen Reports]] page. It looks like the information you added, as well as the reference that you cited, are already used in the article under the "criticism" section. I am new here and not sure how these things work, but should that information appear twice in the article? Let me know, thanks. [[User:Unlawfully blonde|Unlawfully blonde]] ([[User talk:Unlawfully blonde|talk]]) 01:17, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
:Hi Unlawfully blonde.  I wouldn't call that redundant.  The first mention of Rasmussen's overall performance in 2010 is a short summary.  In context it balances and corrects what would otherwise be a clearly promotional tone and multiple claims of accuracy.  The second mention is longer and more detailed, and it belongs where it is, in the criticism section.  I have to say, I don't see a problem.  For a new user I have to congratulate you for being a very fast learner.  Cheers.  --[[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 03:42, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

== Le Solitaire (film) ==
Hello, I appreciate the fact that you are taking interest in French films. I have got the very film at home and over the years I watched it about ten times. Before I wrote the English article I read the German and the French Wiki article and I watched the film again ''while'' I wrote the article. All the information provided in this article is covered by the IMDB and Allmovie, except for the plot. I was once told that the film itself was a source for the film's content. Obviously it is not. So I removed it. Please tell what I can do better in the future. Shall I provide the ISBN number of a DVD release of the film? Does the PAL version suffice or is the ISBN number of the NTSC (American NTSC that it, of course) required as well?
NordhornerII_The man from Nordhorn 02:15, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
:Hello again, thank you for your explanations and your recommendation. For some time now I have been busy with filmographies of successful French actors. Just today I added a wikitable to the biography of [[Karin Viard]]. Once I am done with my list, I will check existing film articles for possible improvements (like translating French role descriptions, adding infoboxes and more external links etc.)... I wrote the aforementioned article only because somebody had put the title into "my" wikitable (Belmondo's filmography) and providing an article of that very name was a way to get rid of a redlink (without hurting the feelings of the contributor). Thanks again. [[User:NordhornerII|NordhornerII]]_The man from Nordhorn 01:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Just back from [[Akron, Ohio]] with a bunch of buildings - well 4 or 5 - but am having trouble figuring them out.  It turns out that no one has really "done" Akron before.  I did meet (see [[Very random occurrence on way to airport]]) [[Don Drumm (sculptor)]] and got his picture but not much else.  He did do a few architectural things.  Anyway, I did add the picture to his article.  Life.  what a place to live. eeeeeeek [[User:Carptrash|Carptrash]] ([[User talk:Carptrash|talk]]) 21:38, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
:One I have already posted - I found it in my Walker & Weeks book, but not that weird.  The CCH had two nice lions (also posted) but another sort of Beaux-Arts event has two crazed lions up a few stories.  That's the fun one but I have found nothing as to who what why when or where.  Where is W Market St, but that's it so far.  I should have worked up the Carnegie Library i a few days.  I am not getting around well as I injured myself in the 44th Annual Hippies ve Indians softball game, in which I pitched 9 innings and lost 29 to 27.

== Women painters ==

Is there any reason you're emptying the categories for British women painters - for example [[:Category:Welsh women painters]] has been nominated for speedy deletion as a result! [[User:Sionk|Sionk]] ([[User talk:Sionk|talk]]) 11:07, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

:Thanks for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASionk&diff=568098401&oldid=567749981 your response] but please discuss this on your talk page, not mine. The category problem Wikipedia encountered was the ghettoization of women writers, painters etc. All of the painters you removed from the category were also in a non-gender specific category. If you're going through a systematically emptying categories you need to discuss it and get agreement first - or propose the categories for deletion discussion.

== about [[Gotthelf Fischer von Waldheim]] ==

Hi Lockley,

In the Mammal Species of the World; Dipodinae [http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/biology/resources/msw3/browse.asp?id=12900044] this subfamily belongs to Fischer, 1817, but two of the synonyms belongs to Dipodes Fischer de Waldheim, 1817 and Dipodum Fischer de Waldheim, 1817. Both Fischers wored in 1817. Could they be the same person? Or who might be the Dipodinae Fischer, 1817? Regards. [[User:DenesFeri|DenesFeri]] ([[User talk:DenesFeri|talk]]) 10:55, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
:Hi DenesFeri -- just judging by his biography, those Fischers are likely to be the same person.  He was working before and after his Russian ennoblement, which would have changed the citation in exactly that way.  I'd have a look for any other Fischers doing taxonomy around the same time.  Hope that helps.  --[[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 16:11, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|assessment]] templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like <nowiki>{{WikiProject Keyword}}</nowiki> to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through [[Wikipedia:Article alerts]] and other tools. This can help you too, as the WikiProject members will often defend your work from deletion and try to improve it further.

== Polish National Historic Monument ==

I think it was you who have introduced the phrase "Polish National Historic Monuments" ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Krzesz%C3%B3w_Abbey&diff=583114933&oldid=577091235]) which now appears in a number of articles ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objects_of_cultural_heritage_in_Poland]). First, thank you for starting this. Second, I believe that the  name is incorrect, it should be [Polish] "Historic(al) Monuments", without National (or Polish), as pl name is ''pomnik historii''. I've created a list that is redirected from [[Historic Monument (Poland)]], a term which is now properly explained in the parent [[Objects of cultural heritage in Poland]]. I'd appreciate if you could help fix the term as used in the 20 or so articles I listed above in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Krzesz%C3%B3w_Abbey&diff=601468180&oldid=600590600 this] fashion (and I guess the text in the infobox should be changed from "National Heritage of Poland" to  "Historic(al) Monument [of Poland]"?. Please note, I am not sure if Historic or Historical is better, feel free to comment on talk of the list and fix the usage in affected articles.

Lockley, would you accept a revised red link guideline that requires a minimum of three blue links to existing stand-alone articles or lists, with at least 50% of all included links being blue, coupled with the clarification of the existing "succession" and "complete set" exceptions?  Personally, I think that would be an extremely reasonable compromise, and if I can get 10 committed supporters, I'm ready to start lobbying previous !voters (not a violation of WP:CANVASS) in favor of compromise.  [[User:Dirtlawyer1|Dirtlawyer1]] ([[User talk:Dirtlawyer1|talk]]) 00:20, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
:That seems very reasonable and I'll support it.  I can't think of any counterexamples I'd consider valid.  There's a minor question about whether or not filmographies count as complete sets.  My true underlying concern is about templates that <i>look</i> complete but are not, so (excuse me as I reason through this) my concerns are limited to that "complete set" exception.

== Persondata ==

Hi Lockley, I'm sure you know the details better than I, but I understood the info wouldn't be removed systematically until bots had gone through and made sure all the data had been migrated to Wikidata. -- [[User:Green Cardamom|<span style="color:#006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User_talk:Green Cardamom|<span style="color:#009933;">'''C'''</span>]] 14:14, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
:Hi {{Ping|Green Cardamom}}.  Lots of discussion about this.  Lots of calories expended.  The result is that persondata has been deprecated and is to be removed.  The bots have been fixed to prevent creating persondata templates from new articles, shutting the gate on new creation.  Wikidata already has all the useable existing data that could be mass-migrated, because the data is squishy (inconsistent formatting, evident vandalism, Julian v Georgian dates, etc).  So there's some 1.2M articles with persondata that <i>might</i> have some data worth preserving.  As of today the current discussion is <i>how</i> that's going to happen, whether manually or by bot, and you can [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Remove_persondata|read through that here]] to get a flavor.  Maybe there will be a bot.  Maybe not a bot.  I'm going through manually to eyeball whether persondata contains unique data worth saving, like aliases and whatnot, and I haven't found a single article where that's true.  [[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 19:06, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
::Ok thanks for the info. That's a good method to go through manual and learn the particulars. 1.2M is so many that it defies imagination that it would ever get done without a bot. It would be a huge waste of limited community resources to ask people to remove it manually. If anyone wants help writing a bot I can do that but I'm sure there are better coders on it already.  -- [[User:Green Cardamom|<span style="color:#006A4E;">'''Green'''</span>]][[User_talk:Green Cardamom|<span style="color:#009933;">'''C'''</span>]] 21:45, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to know your response to a question I posed to your post [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:African-American_Civil_Rights_Movement_%281865%E2%80%9395%29&diff=710104248&oldid=710096095 here].

:Hi {{Reply|Mitchumch}} -- is it the question, "what sources am I using to validate the use of the term 'Civil Rights Movement'?  If so, I have no sources either way, but I wasn't making any claims.  Just going by my own sense of the term.  I've come around to your way of thinking that the title "[[African-American Civil Rights Movement (1865–95)]]" and the other one are anachronistic, literally imposing today's values and terminology on history.  That remains a valid issue, and the way that whole "Nadir" article is framed is a valid issue, and I might work in this space for awhile, although NOT on my short-lived idea.  best to you  [[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 08:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

::Thanks for responding.  I just was curious.  Your statements regarding the term "Civil Rights Movement" in the talk pages reflects virtually all encounters I've had with Wikipedia editors.  I just don't understand where that idea comes from.  Whenever I ask people for reliable sources, no one will provide one.  I'm not sure what to do to correct it.  I thought reliable sources would trump unsourced claims.  However, the term "Civil Rights Movement" seems to have an unwritten exception to the rule.

I don't know quite what you mean about the edit function for individual sections.... I'm normally prompted to edit sections, with two exceptions I can think of.

Hey, Lockley. I'm not sure what you were trying to do with your recent edit.

That happily nests in a clean way with the WGSRPD scheme and the rest of the [[:Category:Flora by distribution categories that follow the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions|grand supercategory in wikipedia]], because the experts at the WGSRPD divide flora up politically.

== Spider distribution categorization ==

Hi, I've been following the good work you've been doing on categorizing more precisely the known distribution of spiders. It's certainly helpful to break up North and South America. I am wary of going too far, though – Brazil, certainly; Argentina – well, ok; smaller countries I would oppose – the distribution of spiders is simply not sufficiently well known, and political boundaries are not the important ones. Consider [[:Category:Spiders of India]] – does this really mean the country of India, i.e. excluding Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh? Or does it mean the Indian subcontinent? [[User:Peter coxhead|Peter coxhead]] ([[User talk:Peter coxhead|talk]]) 06:09, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Peter coxhead}}, I've noticed your work in this area as well, and thanks for the encouragement.  Don't worry, I've reached the same conclusion about applying geographical categories to spiders and other living things that move around.  Having some kind of location information is essential.  Using political divisions is regrettable but convenient.  Aaaand getting too specific is unwise.  There is more basic work to be done -- missing refs.  I'm finding taxonomic articles an interesting set of data to work on, and think about, at this scale, because of the way it's structured, irregular, and unfinished all at once.  Just today I was also [http://www.curioustaxonomy.net/puns/puns.html educated by this list].  best  --[[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 08:10, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
::What do you think about my specific issue with [[:Category:Spiders of India]]? Consider ''[[Phoroncidia testudo]]''. This occurs in India and Sri Lanka, according to the WSC. It's currently categorized into "Spiders of India", which is clearly incomplete. So either it has to be re-categorized into [[:Category:Spiders of Asia]], which seems too broad, or we have to create [[:Category:Spiders of Sri Lanka]], which seems too narrow. Without an equivalent to the WGSRPD for animals, the geographical categories that have been used for different groups seem to me to be entirely arbitrary. [[User:Peter coxhead|Peter coxhead]] ([[User talk:Peter coxhead|talk]]) 09:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
:::To respond in detail, [[:Category:Spiders of India]] belongs to a spiders-by-country overcat and seems like a political subdivision.  ''[[Phoroncidia testudo]]'' would be best be categorized as Asian given the current categories available, ALTHOUGH in this particular case, it's not crazy to consider the creation of [[:Category:Spiders of Sri Lanka]].  It's an island nation with a high number of endemic species and [[List of spiders of Sri Lanka|signs that the]] [[List of tarantulas of Sri Lanka|category would be]] [[List of Ant-mimicking spiders of Sri Lanka|well-populated]].  I wouldn't have used the word "arbitrary" about the geographical classification of fauna but I'd agree that it needs some common-sense attention and perhaps some guidelines.  --[[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 18:05, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
::::Although I agree that we could create [[:Category:Spiders of Sri Lanka]], and there's some logic in that it's an island, the arbitrariness lies in the fact that there happen to be a few active Sri Lankan editors who have created the lists to which you refer, whereas there aren't such editors for Borneo or New Guinea, say. It also seems very odd to me that [[:Category:Spiders of Europe]] is subdivided by many (but not all) families, whereas no other 'continent' is.

I'm inclined to think you're right, and 1909 is a more likely date for the posing for Isidore Konti. The unfortunate thing is that it almost eliminates the possibility that Munson posed for French's ''Mourning Victory'', since the Melvin Memorial was dedicated on June 16, 1909.

:Hello, no thank you.  AfD has limits, I have limits too.  These are all Filipino actors.  Not my area of interest or expertise, and right now I'm looking for a source to differentiate the [[ghetto riots]] in the U.S. in the 1960s from the disruptions brought about by the civil rights movement, the white pushback on peaceful marches like what happened to Reverend King at the [[Marquette Park rallies]] in 1966, where he faced worse violence and hated, he said, than anything in the South.  Those two kinds of riots were happening concurrently from 1964 to 1968, but were two very different species.  But of course I can't just put that in the article, that would be OR, I need to find a source that says it.  Plus I'm thinking about the linkbacks from [[ghetto riots]] to do, but I don't want to do those before the name change, so I should push the name change forward on [[Talk:Ghetto riots|the talk page]], right?  If you have an opinion, drop in.  Plus, frankly, I was struck by one of the conclusions of the [[Kerner Commission]] was that the violence of the ghetto riots was self-destructive, yes, enormously dumb, you bet, and there were dozens of fatalities, but across all this uncoordinated summer uprising, the initial violence every time was aimed at symbols and structures of oppressive power, not aimed at people.  See, in the U.S., up through the 1960s and 70s, at a federal level the definition of "violent crime" in legislation varied somewhat, but it was usually a fairly tight list of crimes against persons.  Then in [[Nineteen Eighty-Four|1984]] with the [[Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984]] the Reagan-era congress took that term "crime of violence", gave it formal meaning, gave that phrase extra magic disciplinary powers such as "enhanced" prison sentences, and ''also'' chiseled in stone a standard definition expanded to cover persons -- ''or property''.  Suddenly we had violence against property.  That's an important threshold we don't think about too much.  We loosely use that word "violence" but there's a range of possible destruction, right.  Looking in retrospect.  It's possible that where the ghetto rioters avoided hurting other people, where they only broke store windows and burned cars, they showed virtuous restraint compared to the white rioters attacking the bodies of Rev. King and marchers.  So that's the real difference between the two kinds of riots.  Now, can all that fit into this encyclopedia.  We're going to find out.  Anyway, thanks for letting me talk atcha, man, but you can see I got my own head full right now. --[[User:Lockley|Lockley]] ([[User talk:Lockley#top|talk]]) 10:39, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

==Alfred Bendiner==
Thanks for the addition, Lockley. {{ping|Carptrash}} This might interest you, too.<br>I've long wanted to write something about [[Alfred Bendiner]], and a couple issues from today brought me back to him.
:Racism: He collected racist cartoons to document the history of America's attitudes toward blacks, including the notorious ''[[Life in Philadelphia]]'' (1828-1830). He donated that collection to the Library of Congress.
:Spanish Flu: He wrote a detailed first-person account of Philadelphia during the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, the hardest hit city in the U.S. October 1918 was a month of horrors, with the city streets empty, except for an occasional Model-T with a coffin sticking out of the back, the family forced to transport the body to the cemetery themselves. Bendiner and his father both were infected, but recovered.
:Immigrants: My favorite Bendiner column was about his family's New Year's Eve tradition. His parents came to America in the 1890s, not quite as refugees, but to escape the anti-Semitism of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. New Year's Eve was exciting as a boy, because it was the one day of the year that he was allowed to drink wine. His mother put him and his 4 siblings to bed right after supper, and woke them around 10:00 pm. They all bundled up and rode a streetcar into the center of the city, and walked to Independence Hall. His father poured out a cordial glass of sherry for each and, as the tower bell began pealing in the new year, made a toast: "God bless the United States."
You can find many of Bendiner's cartoons online, and I'm sure you'll enjoy them. It's a shame that they remain non-PD.<br>Best, == [[User:BoringHistoryGuy|BoringHistoryGuy]] ([[User talk:BoringHistoryGuy|talk]]) 13:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear Lockley, I am trying to clean and correct the tone of the page you tagged. I edited the article, rephrased or deleted the statements. I also deleted some of the quotes as I have found it over-quoted. I hope I didn’t delete too much (I wouldn’t like to be tagged for vandalism). I respect other’s work, but want to give it a proper form (according to the Manual of Style/Biography and BLP).

:Hello {{ping|Bibliof}}, I appreciate your good-faith efforts to improve [[Lubo Kristek]].  I've had a closer look at it.  The article {{oldid2|937942787|at its most expansive}} had quite a lot of aesthetic trivia in it, which has been cut back.  And it already had a COI cleanup tag on it before I came along, so nobody could reasonably accuse you of vandalism.  I'd encourage you to keep at it (if you want to).  There's more to do.  For example part of the lead paragraph still says:  "In his assemblages, he addresses dangers of consume approach, addiction to new technologies, and questiones (sic) the medical ethics... In happenings, he studies the crowd behavior, explores the border between performer and audience, and also the death taboo."  One expects claims of notability in the first paragraph, the artist took a prize at the Lyon Biennial, taught at Stuttgart, etc.  What we get aren't accomplishments.  Not to be harsh, they're not even verifiable facts.  They're artistic intentions.  The article is still shot through with Lubo Kristek's intentions.  The cs, de and fr versions are more convincing about Kritek's place in the encyclopedia, perhaps because they exist to begin with, perhaps because I can't read them.

I was glad that his Wikipedia collection included at least five items (the accepted minimum for a template) and a template could be made. Saw your bank pediment addition, it seems MacMonnies was on fire with artistic energy in the 1890s. I've thought of linking that fake WP hair thing to "Get Out of Jail free card" as a comment on the AfD. It's odd that some editors think that articles about Wikipedia people are navel-gazing, which I've never done and seems easiest in a mirror, given the notability of Wikipedia and its place in 21st century history.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Hi, just FYI, I added a /doc page to the template, so the /sandbox page wouldn't appear in the same categories as the main template.

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Pedimental sculptures in Canada]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:Pedimental sculptures in Canada]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''List has not received attention as a group topic (some of the individual sculptures may be notable of course). Wikipedia shouldn't be the first to make a certain grouping of subjects.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Pedimental sculptures in Canada|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 07:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
