Hello, Monkeylol. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. JBW (talk) 08:55, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Joe Hawley (musician) (February 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by CNMall41 were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Likely notable but not even close to being ready for the mainspace. It reads like it is written from a fan's perspective ("Joe" did this and Joe did that). Plus, the majority of the content is not supported by reliable sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Joe Hawley (musician) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Joe Hawley (musician), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

US city infoboxes

Why are you adding highways and icons to so many infoboxes? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:48, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

i think that it makes the info boxes look nice. I could always make the road icons in a different blank sections Monkeylol (talk) 22:23, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Trenton, New Jersey Flag.png

A tag has been placed on File:Trenton, New Jersey Flag.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 10:49, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cuddebackville

I reverted your recent changes because that is not the way to move an article. It is never correct to copy and paste the contents of an article somewhere else because that looses the edit history and the attribution to the editors that wrote it. To move one article to a different title, a MOVE has to be done. If there is a redirect in the way, then you can request a technical move at WP:RM. MB 01:54, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your interactive map of Newark NJ

I tried out your new interactive map of Newark, newly included in the Newark, New Jersey article. Everywhere I clicked on the map, except in the Newark outline, brought up a little popup: Newark. I am tempted to revert this edit because of the deceptive nature of clicking in the map on, e.g., Hackensack, and having it bring up the Newark which has nothing to do with where I clicked.

Please fix your map or revert it yourself until you have it figured out. Thank you for your consideration -- Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 06:40, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry but there is no way to have the title not there. While it may be tacky, there is nothing I can do to not have a title outside of the border. You can even see that in the examples on this page that there is really nothing that can be done to fix your issue. The only alternative would be to fill in the boarder instead of outside which would make it harder to see what is in Newark which is one of the points of the map. If you want to see change on this then redirect your frustrations to the developers of this template. Monkeylol (talk) 17:13, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you're saying here, and appreciate what you're trying to do. However, I think you perhaps misapplied the template, because when I look at the example at Template:Infobox mapframe, single-clicking (not double-clicking, which gives a close-up, as you know -- a fine thing) in the selected area frame, vs. outside of that frame, have the opposite effects than they do in your Newark map. In the example, single-clicking within the frame gives you the frame's name, and outside the frame gives nothing. In Newark, single-clicking within the frame gives nothing, and outside the frame gives Newark. Aside from that, it's a good adaptation, and I appreciate it. But that flaw made a naive first-time explorer of your new map pretty confused. I'm sure you can figure it out and fix it, and I hope you do! It's worth keeping, once it's corrected. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 18:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know how to fix the issue you are bringing up. I think it will be best for the both of us if one of us just asks a question on how to fix the title issue on the talk page for the template I used. Monkeylol (talk) 20:02, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Best if you ask, not me. I wouldn't undertake to use the template. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 01:17, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Changing "type=shape-inverse" to "type=shape" corrected this issue. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 04:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Goshen (village), New York

I reverted your edit at Goshen (village), New York, because it pushes images and templates far beyond the bottom of the page, disrupting the layout. This is a short article, with little space for additional images without disrupting the layout. I would suggest you discuss this on the article talk page first. Thank you.
