O'Donnell and Naccarato moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, O'Donnell and Naccarato, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Articles must be based in independent third party sources, not the company’s own website. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hohokus Township
[edit]Hey there, regarding this edit, how come you reverted to restore the article, when the township clearly became Mahwah, New Jersey? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:49, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Historical municipalities that got abolished should be kept on separate pages Scu ba (talk) 01:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Any reason you feel that way? If historical municipalities became a current one, then that would just fall under the "history" section, as there isn't much to add if it no longer exists. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- There is precedent with having an abolished township having it's own page. In this instance although they shared borders there is no continuity between the municipal governments, and the former township was abolished instead of reincorporated as is usually the case in a township becoming a borough.
- Additionally, only a portion of the township became Mahwah, there where also portions that became Allendale and Upper Saddle River. All three boroughs can trace themselves back to Hohokus Township, as such it would be unfair to the other two to have Mahwah monopolize the history of the township.

County flags in articles for municipalities
[edit]Pwr MOS:INFOBOXFLAG, "Human geographic articles – for example, settlements and administrative subdivisions – may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes." So U.S. and state flags ae OK; County flags are not. As in this edit to the article for Paterson, New Jersey, and for other places in Passaic County, uses of the county flag should be removed. Alansohn (talk) 00:31, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Seems nonsensical. Why have flags for 2/3 subdivisions, instead of 3/3? Scuba 01:26, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- This policy was based on consensus and added to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons in this edit in March 2012, more than a dozen years ago. There are municipalities with four levels of government, such as Lynbrook, New York, which is a village in a town, in a county, in a state in a country. Some people had wanted no flags in the infobox for any article for a place; consensus was to keep flags for country and first-level administrative subdivision (which would be a state within the United States here). I'm usually fighting to restore flags that have been removed from municipality articles without justification, but it goes both ways, as in Passaic County. Alansohn (talk) 03:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Im not sure if you read the edit you sent.
Human geographic articles - for example settlements and administrative subdivisions - may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes; however, physical geographic articles - for example, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and swamps - should not. Where a single article covers both human and physical geographic subjects (e.g. Manhattan), the consensus of editors at that article will determine whether flag use in the infobox is preferred or not.
I am not talking about amountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and swamps
im talking about a settlement. Scuba 03:26, 30 September 2024 (UTC)- This is an article about a settlement. As you cited,
Human geographic articles - for example settlements and administrative subdivisions - may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes
. Which means that flags for the United States (the country cited in the MOS) and New Jersey (the first-level administrative subdivision in this case) may be included; Passaic County would be a second-level administrative subdivision, for which a flag is excluded. Alansohn (talk) 14:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)- The text you cited does not explicitly say second-level administrative subdivision flags should be excluded. Scuba 14:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- If the Manual of Style allowed flags for populated places at all levels, it could have said all levels; listing only "country and first-level administrative subdivision", when what was intended was all levels, seems to be a tortured reading, at best. If MOS:INFOBOXFLAG meant to include the second-level administrative units (i.e. counties, in our case), it could have said that explicitly and its absence seems pretty definitive that it's not included. Alansohn (talk) 21:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Removing the county flags because the manual of style doesn't even mention county flags is not only a waste of people's time, but also a rather weasely way to enforce the manual of style. Why do you care so much? Scuba 21:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Adding these county flags is a weasly way to violate the Manual of Style, which specifically advises against uses of flags for decorative purposes, Why do you care so much to waste your time adding them? Alansohn (talk) 23:17, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Because I fundamentally disagree with the concept that including all three flags in an infobox is better than just including 2 of the 3 flags. Scuba 03:22, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

image for Chabad sidebar template
[edit]After looking into it, there is no official logo for the Chabad Movement, as it is made up of many smaller affiliated organizations (see Chabad-affiliated organizations). 770 Eastern Parkway is the best image to represent the movement because it is the official headquarters.
The icon I uploaded (here) is just the logo for Chabad Houses (centers for non-Orthodox people to pray or learn about Judaism) and does not represent the entire movement as 770 does.
So, for now, the image for the Chabad sidebar template should remain 770 Eastern Parkway because it is the best image to represent the movement. Thank you for your contruibutions and your work tho.

Please take a look at that. Listing every reaction with flags just invites it to become a useless list of very similar statements multiplied by every country that reacted... Plus regular text is usually more informative anyways 2607:FA49:5543:A300:0:0:0:2D3A (talk) 18:14, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree. Including the flags is far more informative. Flagcruft is limited to just infoboxes, you can't argue that here. Scuba 18:14, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's not what it says. I might have linked the wrong section (not been here very recently) but "Do not use icons in general article prose" and "Do not use too many icons". Simply listing countries by name (and grouping similar reactions, to avoid repetition) is far better. 2607:FA49:5543:A300:0:0:0:2D3A (talk) 18:16, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Flagcruft is designed to prevent "nationalistic pride" that's literally the first sentence. You can use flags otherwise. Scuba 18:17, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- What's not clear about "Do not use icons in general article prose"? The section can be expressed far more clearly (and shortly) as general prose than as a country-by-country lists. Flags are just decorative in that context. 2607:FA49:5543:A300:0:0:0:2D3A (talk) 18:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Again, read the article. The example given is having an article about the Beetles and going "Beetles member Paul McCartney was also a member of the wings " what you keep reverting has nothing to do with FLAGCRUFT. you are persistently abusing a rule you clearly don't understand. Scuba 18:21, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- You are missing the forest for the trees. The literal example might be a Beatles article, but a list of by-country reaction is also just prose, and there's no reason to add flags to it. 2607:FA49:5543:A300:0:0:0:2D3A (talk) 18:25, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- No, The list of countries does not count as flugcruft. separating out the reactions by each country is infinitely better than a word-vomit paragraph combining them all. Why am I even arguing with you? you're an IP editor. Scuba 18:31, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Why am I arguing with you? You're hiding behind an alias, who's to say you're even a human being? More seriously, there's a good reason to avoid separating the reactions by country - it promotes it becoming just a useless list of routine reactions (ex. "Country X stated it was "closely monitoring" the situation") and allows for the more important reactions to be properly written about. Imagine if the equivalent section at Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#International_reactions was a flagcruft-list, would be entirely useless... 2607:FA49:5543:A300:0:0:0:2D3A (talk) 18:39, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Question re: ITN
[edit]Hello!
A bit of a random question, I've noticed you tend to vote "oppose" for ITN nominations where the article quality isn't sufficiently high quality.
I was wondering if there is a particular reason for this preference over "not ready" which I've noticed is a far more common vote regarding article issues?
"Oppose" (imo) reads more like an issue regarding the subject rather than article quality issue.
Best regards 31.44.227.152 (talk) 02:07, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Votes should be binary support or oppose. If the article is updated to become high quality I'd change my vote to support. Scuba 03:44, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:Liberal Party USA Logo.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Liberal Party USA Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:21, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Association of Liberty State Parties Logo.png
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:Association of Liberty State Parties Logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 06:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
