Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

I read your message contesting the deletion of the article. Nothing you wrote, unfortunately, addressed the problem: that you were copying in large chunks of copyrighted text. Assuming the organization meets the guidelines for notability, you are welcome to create another article in your own words. —Largo Plazo (talk) 23:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, CaptJayRuffins. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.Deb (talk) 16:00, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Thank you for working on categorizing the organizational categories. I've worked mostly with women's groups but it's nice to see you taking up the fire fighting organizations.

One tip with categories, they don't usually contain actual information other than the articles in the category. Some contain a little header explaining what should go in the category but that's all. So you don't lose the work of your list I'm copying it here per WP:G6. (I was going to put in on your sandbox page but that's a redirect so I wasn't sure if you would get it.) Good luck.

Hi! I just noticed your addition of WERD—owned by Jesse B. Blayton, Sr.—to List of African-American firsts was reverted for lack of a citation.

Hello CaptJayRuffins,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Increase Carpenter for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Thanks for adding a relevant picture and caption to Windmill. I want to point you to English Wikipedia's style guide section: MOS:POSTABBR. Generally, using postal abbreviations—such as CA for California, or WA for Washington or Western Australia—is discouraged as they're less likely to be widely understood by our global audience, or could be interpreted as two or more political subdivisions. I went ahead and expanded NY to New York in the caption you added. →‎ GS →‎ ☎ → 06:50, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, your new article Pantigo windmill (Easthampton, New York) popped up on my watchlist, i suppose it must have linked to something i created long ago.

It looks like it is a valid topic for an article, but I don't think it is a separately listed place on the National Register, because I think we have most of those covered already, at least in New York State. I don't see it mentioned in National Register of Historic Places listings in East Hampton (town), New York. Is it included in the Pantigo Road Historic District, perhaps? What is your evidence that it is NRHP listed? Perhaps it has an NRHP plaque on it, which a contributing building in an NRHP historic district can carry, without being separately listed. Or i worry if it is an alternate name for an NRHP-listed windmill already having an article.

I would like to help you get it described and connected in, properly. I mostly edit NRHP articles, myself. Either way, I am sure this can get sorted out eventually, and I thank you for contributing. Cheers, --Doncram (talk) 23:26, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, i see from the NRHP reference number that you provided in the article, which is for the East Hampton Village District, that it must be a contributing resource in that district. Hmm, the East Hampton Village District article is pretty weak. Unfortunately the New York State copies of NRHP nomination documents were all moved, so I don't see how to read the NRHP document for the district. --Doncram (talk) 23:30, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

as I pointed out on your talk, it's in the backyard of HSH, next door is Mulford then Tuthill house is next to that and the church on the other side, the village green, the cemetery, the pond the old church, Gardiner mill, the rebuilt saltbox(not recognized, they tore down the orig saltbox) Rev Thomas James marker are all in the NRHP. I could use help with the NRHP infobox coordinates, i just lost the one in Mulford Farmhouse CaptJayRuffins (talk) 23:50, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I got your note at my talk page, great. I am happy to "watchlist" here and have just a single discussion here, not split, but please do feel free to contact me at my Talk page, especially if I seem to have missed something here. Feel free also to join wp:NRHP and, whether or not you join, to post at its Talk page wt:NRHP.

Hmm, I am not sure they all need separate articles, perhaps they could be covered together in the village historic district article, each with a separate section? But if there is separate documentation available, as you have found to be the case for the windmill, it is also okay to have separate, split-out articles about the more major contributing resources in a district. It's a judgment call to split out or not.

Hmm, the HAER documentation which you included in the windmill article states "This is one of the mills built by Nathaniel Dominy V", contrary to the name you assert as builder, presumably based on a different source. It is okay if there exists contradictory sources, we just probably should note the disagreement. Oh, hmm the HAER documentation goes on in its text to say Samuel Schellinger was the builder. --Doncram (talk) 00:09, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think the name of the article should probably be Pantigo Windmill. The parenthetical mention of town/village is not needed, assuming that there is no other place named "Pantigo Windmill". You could move it to that name, yourself, by selecting "move" from the tabs available at top of page (perhaps hidden under "More"). --Doncram (talk) 23:55, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I debated the naming, but after finding that every last one of these windmills were moved, it make sense to add the town. If you look at the list, every windmill deserves its own entry due to the importance to the community at some point in their lives. The village green can be expanded, but the museums all deserve their own articles. The village green article will have the poles, the stones, the seats, the arbors, the churches and the graves, but the windmills of the east end each get their story told. I just working on the ones in the NRHP first, the hayground was an outlier, googlemaps mis-directed me and it was a doozy to find, just getting google to fix that mess will take some doing. Gardiner Mill is incorrectly placed over in amagansett, where that mill burnt to the ground in 1924. It really is on James lane across from his grave.CaptJayRuffins (talk) 00:20, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the thing, I need help with the articles like the village green. The windmills is a start, see Category= Windmills in New York (state) and I plan to expand on the ones on the east end. but there is the problem of the underlying districts. I shot Quogue, now I have to write the Quogue Historical district article. But I'm still in windmills, and fleshing out the village. If I send pics, can you help? (talk) 00:30, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Updated the East Hampton Village District, will return to it later.. I think I can do the same with a stub like this for the Quogue Historical district, (not to tell the story in pictures, but to get a starting point for a full article... (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

In partial response:

• About your having taken and/or being able to take more photos, that is hugely helpful. Please do upload those to Commons (commons.wikimedia.org), which holds photos that display in Wikipedia (in the English language wikipedia and all other language wikipedias, too). There is an "upload file" link to click which brings you to here, and I see a "help" service mentioned there if you have any difficulty. If by "sending a photo to me" you mean literally emailing one to me, that wouldn't help directly, because I would not be able to upload it to Commons myself, not being able to assert copyright ownership myself.
• Yes getting Google maps to fix anything sounds tedious. For coordinates corrections within Wikipedia, we can just do that directly. I often use coordinates that I obtain from Google maps satellite view, then right-click to see "what's here" in order to see a copy-paste-able set of coordinates, in order to get better coordinates to use in articles.
• About categories, there is Category:Mill museums in New York (state) as well as Category:Windmills in New York (state) to add to some of these articles.
• I am surprised there is not a List of windmills in New York or other explicit list-article to cover the historic windmills, both the ones having articles and those which do not (to be shown either as redlinks calling for articles, or to be shown as "blacklinks" not suggesting articles). To cover places like the one you mentioned being destroyed in 1924. A list-article can cover stuff which a category cannot. [Yay, there is such a list-article, "List of windmills in New York". By all means add to it, including adding multiple sentences to the notes column wherever needed to explain something adequately.--Doncram (talk) 14:37, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Improved the list of windmills in NY, still a work in progress.. CaptJayRuffins (talk) 17:10, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from naming convention issues and excessive and unnecessary categorization of the images, I can't see that much wrong with the article or images.

I must profess a little concern about creating articles on assistant professors. There are 2 to 6 million professors in the world, most of whom are of little note. The few articles on assistant profs that I have seen survive AfD are about people who were notable novelists, poets, musicians, artists, etc first, then obtained a position at a university. Abductive (reasoning) 21:25, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the article is about a Social worker who speaks a (dead) language due to the genocide perpetrated on her people by colonizers. That she is involved in a renaissance of the language, and had achieved the highest level of education, a doctorate in anthropology, to be able to overcome the obstacles placed on her people, make me have to say, please,

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at User talk:SSSB, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

This is necessary even if you are just leaving a header. Thanks, SSSB (talk) 11:08, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article Black Firefighters Association has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a local association (San Francisco Black Firefighters Association) affiliated to an international one. I think it is not notable per WP:BRANCH.

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.

I removed personal non-encyclopedic material from infobox, and the see alsos for more notable people in her general field. I note , btw, that "vice-dean" is a minor administrative position that does not imply notability, academic or otherwise.

Hello, CaptJayRuffins

Thank you for creating Carl G. Holmes.

User:Doomsdayer520, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thank you for this new article, though I am concerned about the "Early life and career" section. That section is not about Mr. Holmes (he is not named in the paragraph) but is instead about all black firefighters of that time. Also, most of that section has no citations. It could be characterized as original research which should be avoided at Wikipedia. I recommend revamping that section to make it more specific to Mr. Holmes and the challenges HE faced early in his career.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

A tag has been placed on Category:Sag Harbor Hills, Azurest, and Ninevah Beach Subdivisions Historic District requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Liz 19:41, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Daisy Tapley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.sagharborpartnership.org/permanent-residents-of-oakland-cemetery.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Daisy Tapley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BLM.

The article Red Hook Lane Arresick has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Although this claims to be an article about "Red Hook Lane Arresick", a "revolutionary war burial ground in Red Hook, Brooklyn", about 80% or more if offtopic, and the only reference to the supposed burial ground is the assertion that he ground was discovered and used as the hook for a heritage trail. We learn, roughly, absolutely zero about the supposed burial ground. This does not look salvageable.

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.

Hi. As I was browsing some NYC Commons categories, I noticed some of your pictures and see that you frequently contribute to NYC topics. Maybe someone has told you about this in the past, but FYI there is an active non-profit based in NYC which holds regular events related to Wikipedia/Wikmedia projects: Wikimedia New York City. We have monthly events called WikiWednesdays which are open to the public. They typically involve a mix of presentations and discussions about various topics. It's very informal, and since last spring they've been online (like everything else). Information about this month's meeting is here, if you're interested: Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/April 2021. And you can always find out about upcoming events (WikiWednesdays but also topic-specific events) at WP:WMNYC. — Rhododendrites \\ 22:12, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello CaptJayRuffins,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Millie tunnell for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Millie Tunnel 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, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

An article you recently created, Polish National Catholic Church of The Holy Cross (Brooklyn), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). 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.

Hello, CaptJayRuffins. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Polish National Catholic Church of The Holy Cross".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz 16:49, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Starin's Glen Island.

I have been blocked from editing after a list I created for Tide mills of Long Island inadvertently on the last four entries introduced copy violations. There were about 30 entries formatted by a robot and many of the descriptions were from the wikis, which was then cited for non-attribution in the edit notes on each entry. I did miss the descriptions as needing rewrites - but question the level of condemnation that resulted over the lists creation. Like a John Oliver moment, the slamming of the red button and the 'WE'VE GOT YOU!!' as though someone has been waiting for just this error to have me pilloried for past indescretions that they had previously failed to convict me on, has me realizing that I have much built up resentment working against me with some admins. -- Following that, I pointed out that half of the flagged entries came from a public domain phamplet on the commons, begging the question, wtf? Every article I write within hours gets tagged with notes that never go away, even after cites are added for citation needed, ledes adjusted to clarify, and correction made to address the concerns. Did I step on some important parson on here by daring to write articles so I'd have a place to post pictures I took of NRHP sites? I have been rarely thanked for being a C class writer except by you and some others whom have helped me grow into an editor, so, help me out here. Whose got their panties in a knot over me? I don't have your tools and don't have any ax to grind, I do make mistakes but always seek to correct them. My eyesight is failing, I can't get around without a chair, my time grows near and I don't want to fight with anyone. I'm a Petrus Stuyvesant, 'the fight has gone out and he's retired to his bouwerie' -- should anyone ask, whatever happened to? CaptJayRuffins (talk) 13:07, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of tide mills on Long Island, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Islip and Glen Cove.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the violation and found the errors referenced to have been generated by my use of a code replication robot. The errors were let in as I used the <copy text> link to format the entry, which only showed a synopsis of the code that was generated, hence I did not catch or read the text portion in full. In creating 'Tide mills on LI' I had only tried to generate a list, and immediately was confounded by edits like these: <Tag: Disambiguation links added, orphan tag & {{Lead missing}} and {{More citations needed}} tags>, which I took to responding to by adding <ref> tags- which then led to more info being left in the descriptions, and a <copy of the lede> from tile mills which I failed to attribute as from another wikipedia page. As the day led on I saw the list as a whole and did not catch the description copy vio before moving on to a new article. I am unable to find our previous interactions where you reference prior warnings, could you assist in my finding those as my talk page doesn't show any messages from you. I am still trying to appeal the block, but I am unable to post the appeal to my talk page beyond your block. The article I wrote after tide mills had no copy vio nor did the 15-20 articles before, it was an unforced error on my part and wont be repeated.

I have restored content I removed that was copied from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/Long_Island_-_its_early_days_and_development_%28IA_longislanditsear00arm%29.pdf, because that document is in the public domain. There's other material though, that was copied from other documents, that for copyright reasons cannot be restored. — Diannaa (talk) 21:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We need to provide attribution when copying from public domain sources. This can be done by including the template {{source-attribution}} as part of the citation. This is done so that our readers will be aware that prose was copied from the source, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. — Diannaa (talk) 21:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I don't need anything replaced, now that I can see the text I can fix the entries. I entered details to get the ownership and locations, it added the descriptions verbatim and I didn't catch it immediately. It wasn't intentional. I see the notes for the earlier errors, it's that they were not from you. I have no beef with removing the content and correcting, I just need to be made aware of it. There's no rush and can wait while you attend to family matters.. CaptJayRuffins (talk) 02:07, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I have checked my work and restored as much as possible. There's nothing further for me to investigate. There's still copyright content that I removed that is now hidden from you due to revision deletion of the edits in question. You won't be able to perform further fixes until you get unblocked, and that won't happen unless you take full responsibility for having added copyright content to Wikipedia (one of your posts above indicates that you believe it was the fault of a "code replication robot"?). Perhaps you could also explain why you did not notice over the course of two days of editing List of tide mills on Long Island that you had copypasted a bunch of prose from your sources into the article? Did you not even read the completed work and realize that you had not written it yourself? Also, I'm not sure why you think it matters who notified you about the previous violations of our copyright policy. (It does not.)

In addition to the above questions, in order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. Please respond to the following basic questions about copyright and licensing, explaining in your own words:

• What is copyright?
• How is Wikipedia licenced?
• Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
• Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content? What special measures would you need to take to do so?
• How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. — Diannaa (talk) 03:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You, the editor that blocked me, in the notice I saw, stated unequivocatively that you notified me 7 times previously of copy vios. The other admins told what I did needed correction, you apparently, took great offense and in furious anger have vented and let me know you are the lord! (copy vio-some movie ...) & let me have a thunderbolt of enlightenment from the great god, and banned me to the netherworld to supplicate for forgiveness. Should I ever wish to be in your good graces then explain what is the five pillars of Wikipedia. I would - a few years ago,- get right back at the teacher who chastized me thusly and it's probably why I only have a high school diploma to show for such reactions. Banned to special ed for talking back, forever marked as unteachable. As I am now old and feeble, going blind in one eye and hobbled to a wheelchair with bum feet and unsteady left leg, you ask why I didn't see what the robot was doing. --Becuz' I did not see it is the only answer I can give.

create code for The Roslyn Grist Mill which is located along Old Northern Boulevard in Roslyn, New York, United States. It was built sometime before the mid-18th century and is one of the few surviving Dutch colonial commercial frame buildings in the U.S. A gristmill has existed on the site since the first decade of the 18th century, when John Robeson built on it. He in turn sold it to Jeremiah Williams, who is believed to have built the current mill sometime between 1715 and 1741.[3] After another owner, it became the property of Hendrick Onderdonk, who already operated two paper mills in the settlement then known as Hempstead Harbor, in 1758.

write the codes for the three tide mills in Huntington: 1752, Zophar Platt built a mill harnessing the power—and predictability—of the tides. The town’s first tide mill stood on the west shore of Huntington Harbor. Today’s Mill Dam Road runs along the embankment built to capture the tide. A second tide mill was built in Centerport. The third built further up Huntington Harbor still stands in Lloyd Harbor.

write the code for the Crippen Mill: The Crippen House was originally constructed, circa 1658, as a grist mill. The mill remained in use through 1672, when it was closed due to concerns about the unhealthfulness of its mill pond. The mill building was sold, and around 1674 moved about 525 yards north to its current location close to the head of Huntington Harbor where it was converted to residential use. Preliminary analysis of the building confirms its construction as an industrial building rather than as a residence. Its heavy timber framing, dimensions, and sturdy proportions are reflective of industrial Dutch framing of the period. The building is a rare, early surviving example of this building type.

I posted the entry to the list, and went on to write the article for the Peter Crippen Mill House, which did not get flagged for any copy vios even though I used the same cited sources for that article. All in one afternoon.

No barnstar for 'good find'. No atta-boy for loong and tedious, pedantic writing.

Just a striking down in furious anger as I,, the GODDESS, lay my VENGEANCE UPON YOU!! (copy vio- movie ref).

Whats to fight for. I copied the entry and posted it. No malice intended, no vandalism, just a correctable error. The article was long, the lede was terrible, but tired, I went and had lunch, not considering any ramification of my overt actions and napped the afternoon away, having discovered a new mill that might make the NRHP and a long island place for me to go take pictures of.

Now I'm tired. I don't want to copy and paste answers to what I think copyright is. Maybe later. My body is telling me to go do something by prodding me with pain. Will respond later. I will get screen shots for this later. Even after you flagged info found on wiki's and a public domain phamplet, you seem to have a bug for me.

CaptJayRuffins (talk) 14:52, 28 March 2024 (UTC)DanTD I find the creation of the list to be adjunct to finding the mills and clarifying the locations. I feel the pressure to conform the list to article status (tags for lede msg, Refs) belies the purpose, a list to mark where they once stood, as many are removed from the landscape. I did get them from the commons article which Diannaa first removed as copy vio and subsequently replaced, so forgive if the locations are not proper in respect to Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau or Suffolk. Those would have been corrected in time.

I have taken responsibility for the errors in the tide mills list and you have not released my account, which amounts to punishment. I did not intentionally copy the text and was using the robot to ease creating the list for the first time. You may have been watching for this type of thing as mere hours elasped before you immediately blocked my account, falsely claiming you notified me 7 times over the last 10 years for such conduct. The article I wrote the very same day from the same research has been reviewed, and no violation was reported in the article Peter Crippen Mill House. You also reversed course when informed that the research was from a 1914 phamphlet found on the commons and restored much of the content to the list. You have punished me for 60 plus days for a error I did not catch in creating the list. This cannot be placed on any other editor as you are the instigator of this punishment. I have gotten better, at identifying copyright violations and think this punishment was excessive. I took responsibility 3 months ago, but let me repeat: "Unintentioned error on my part, the pamphlet that I used to locate the tide mill was published in 1914, which I dated as beyond the 70 years as allowed. The other error was using the lede from the 'Tide mills' article as it was preceded by a disambigulation link for clarif, which was later removed by another editor. I've re-read the Wikipedia:Copyrights and may have violated Wikipedia policy by uploading copyrighted material without authorization, specifically not attributing text to that page in the edit notes.

Hello, CaptJayRuffins

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Dclemens1971, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Aquebogue Windmill, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Dclemens1971}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

I removed the proposed deletion; I do not think the deletion is uncontroversal. WP:AFD would be more appropriate. BTW, CaptJayRuffins is currently blocked due to copyvios. --Cyfal (talk) 20:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello CaptJayRuffins, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Aquebogue Windmill, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aquebogue Windmill.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Dclemens1971}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
