New Earth Coffeehouse: Of Historical Interest, especially to music lovers, and fans of the band Waterdeep

Dear Happyme22

Back in 05 AUG 2008, the page "New_Earth_Coffeehouse" was deleted from Wikipedia. Recently, I was attempting to research this location, now since closed, and reopened as the Main Street Cafe, then moved to Wyandotte. Unfortunately, I was not able to learn any of this information on Wikipedia, but from anecdotes from bloggers supposedly living in and around Kansas City.

However, the New Earth is of great interest to music lovers. A great number of bands (such as Jennifer Knapp, MxPx, and others) have performed there throughout the years. One of the most notable of these performances was the band Waterdeep, which recorded a major album "Live at the New Earth" at this location in 1999. (The Wikipedia page "Waterdeep_(band)" provides some additional details.)

A Google search for the terms "new earth coffeehouse kansas" bring up some interesting results.

We would request that this page be un-deleted. According to Wikipedia guidelines, you are being contacted first as the administrator who deleted this page.

Reaganomics: Mis-leading, Unfactual data on wiki page

Dear Happyme22

For the record, I am a new "contributor" to wiki. Therefore, I have no idea if this is the best way for me to send you a message, but it's the only way I could find.

Also, for the record, I am not new to reading wiki pages. As an aside, I have found many errors in many wiki pages and as a result do not put much 'veracity' in any information coming from wiki as most pages I've read leave out or add mis-leading information due to bias.

The other day, I got on Ronald Reagan's wiki page and saw an error under "Reaganomics" so, I joined wiki so I could make the correction.

After I made the correction, and included proper citation, someone took out my "edit" and then, falsely, accused my factual "edit" as vandalism. Next, I re-posted the factual information via "edit" - and because I'm new here - I posted facts and in addition I posted a "talk" comment. (I didn't know how to reply to the accuser any other way, my apologies for that).

The bottom line is, I think it is very important to maintain facts. I think it's especially important to maintain facts on past US Presidents.

I will put here what wiki has that is not factually true and then prove to you what is factually true.

A) WIKI: "the unemployment rate declined from 7.1% to 5.5%, hitting annual rate highs of 9.7% (1982) and 9.6% (1983) and averaging 7.5% during Reagan's administration.[116]

That sentence if factually wrong because the link, or citation [116], is NOT a link for "annual rate highs" rather it is a link whose Title is: "Annual average unemployment rate"

• KEYWORD in link's Title: "Average"
• NOTICE: the words "annual high" nor "annual rate high" are NO WHERE in the title of that link.

B) Factually, according to the US Bureau Labor &Statistics, the factual, actual "annual rate high" is 10.8% (1982) and 10.4% (1983)

1) Here is my proof that the "annual rate highs" are 10.8% (1982) and 10.4% (1983)

• i) Go to: US Bureau Labor & Statistics, Link: http://www.bls.gov/data/
• a) Click on "Database & Tools" where you'll see "Data Retrieval Tools - Top Picks"
• b) Under "Top Picks" Check the box "Unemployment Rate (Seasonally Adjusted) - LNS14000000"
• c) Click "Retrieve Data"
• d) Go To "Change Output Options"
• e) Put in 1981 - 1983
• f) Click "go"
• g) You now see Title for Table:

Series ID: LNS14000000

Series Title: Unemployment Rate

Labor force status: Unemployment rate

Type of data: Percent or rate

Age: 16 years and over

• h) Below the Title in g) above is the Table which shows:

Year	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
1981	7.5	7.4	7.4	7.2	7.5	7.5	7.2	7.4	7.6	7.9	8.3	8.5
1982	8.6	8.9	9.0	9.3	9.4	9.6	9.8	9.8	10.1	10.4	10.8	10.8
1983	10.4	10.4	10.3	10.2	10.1	10.1	9.4	9.5	9.2	8.8	8.5	8.3

2) You can clearly see, the factual "annual rate high" is, in fact, 10.8% (1982) and 10.4% (1983).

With all due respect, if you want to keep Reagan's "annual AVERAGE" unemployment data, so as to make it appear as though Reagan's actual unemployment rate high of: 10.8% (1982), didn't exist, that's up to you ... but ... just call it what it is, "annual average." Do not incorrectly call the annual average 9.7% (1982) and 9.6% (1983) the "annual rate high" because that would be completely false and very mis-leading to readers.

The next step is up to you - you will either correctly label the data (annual average 9.7% (1982) and 9.6% (1983)), or you might put in the actual ("annual rate high 10.8% (1982) and 10.4% (1983)), or you will let the mis-leading data stay put ... it's up to you since you are in charge of that page.

Hi, thank you for joining Wikipedia! And thank you for helping to "keep us honest!" I must admit, after substantial time spent working on the Reagan article -- several years in fact -- I have not been able to dedicate myself much to the upkeep, only checking in now and again and making small edits here and there. In regard to this issue, then, I will defer to some of the more active editors of the page. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to simply be a wording/description error, and unfortunately one which I do not have much time to research and delve into.

Also, I know you are new but this is one of the many things you will learn as you continue to edit, namely that no one user operates an article; that is strictly prohibited per WP:OWN. Articles are more like community property, wherein anyone can edit, but some articles attract more regular users, usually out of personal interest.

Thanks for bringing up the issue -- hopefully someone with more time than I can see to it that it is taken care of. Thanks! Best, Happyme22 (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Martha Beall Mitchell

Thank you for the edits to the article Martha Beall Mitchell. One puzzles me; you removed the image File:1300 - 1302 30th Street, N.W..JPG noting in your edit summary, "rm photo, as martha never lived there". However, under Description in the image file Summary it states, "Previous occupants include: ... Martha Beall Mitchell, wife of Attorney General Mitchell who contacted the media regarding President Nixon's illegal activities." Please, why to you believe Martha Mitchell never lived there? (Please respond here.) HairyWombat 20:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

It looks like a very nice house, but does the image help the reader with the subject?--Wehwalt (talk) 20:36, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

You have not answered my question. You stated that Martha Mitchell never lived there. Do you have anything with which to back up your statement? To answer your (Wehwalt's) question, yes, it helps the reader with the subject. HairyWombat 00:03, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I am not Happyme22. As he and I have worked together in the past as editors and admins, I have his talk page watchlisted, and as I helped out with the Nixon article, the heading interested me.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:12, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Martha and John Mitchell divorced in 1974, she died in 1976, John Mitchell went to prison in June 1977, was released 19 months later, and moved to the Georgetown home of Mary Gore Dean, his friend and companion. He would live there for the rest of his life. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that that home is the one that John Mitchell lived in after his divorce and release from prison and after Martha's death. During their marriage and their time in Washington while Mr. Mitchell was Attorney General and later director of Nixon's re-election campaign, Martha and John Mitchell lived in an apartment in the Watergate building. I do not believe that they lived in Georgetown during that period, which is the only period that they lived in Washington; before that, they lived in New York. Martha continued living the Watergate apartment after their divorce, and, since that same photograph is on John Mitchell's article, I concluded that the photo is of the Georgetown house that Mr. Mitchell lived in after Martha's death. And that is why I removed the photo from the article. Thanks, Happyme22 (talk) 04:34, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

That sounds reasonable to me. It sounds to me an image inserted for lack of any other. I am sure that in the huge volume of photos from the Nixon Library there are quite a few showing Martha Mitchell. I suggest that you get a few more of those. Or a piece of Watergate tapes with the speakers saying nasty things about Martha Mitchell. It's all public domain.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:19, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

If you believe the Summary Description of the image file is incorrect then perhaps you should correct it. HairyWombat 19:08, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, and I have. Happyme22 (talk) 09:31, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Golden Girls title card.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Golden Girls title card.jpg. 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.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. George Ho (talk) 08:02, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

I did not upload the original, all I did was crop the black border off of it. It does not matter to me one way or another if it is deleted, just make sure that the policy is upheld. Happyme22 (talk) 08:08, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Pretty much done I think

While I may have a couple more Nixon articles in me, for now I've pretty much moved on to McKinley. Mark Hanna will be first in that series. McKinley has the advantage of Canton being a lot closer than Yorba Linda! However, the Nixon Library has much better weather.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah that's for sure! Alright my friend, I wish you the best! Your accomplishments have been truly outstanding! We'll still come across each other now and again I'm sure. Happyme22 (talk) 10:13, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, yours too and then some! Of course! I still monitor the articles I've worked on; you still do the same. And Nixon will remain bubbling hot for our lifetimes ...I am really starting to find the Gilded Age quite interesting. If possible I am going to try to do McKinley, TR, and Taft. I will keep you updated. McKinley will be first though. --Wehwalt (talk) 09:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Very interesting, indeed it is a fascinating time in history. I'd love to learn more about McKinley, TR and Taft myself. Looking forward to seeing your work, Happyme22 (talk) 10:07, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Warning vandals

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Barbara Bush: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. --AW (talk) 22:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

President of the United States citation error

[1]

Above is a diff of the edits you made a few weeks ago to the article. You added a named ref (tws12novef) but without any citation, which is causing an error. I would have fixed it myself, but it didn't look an old citation that needed rescuing but something you wanted to add. Could you please take a look at it? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for alerting me to this. I have fixed the problem. It was actually an old citation that needed rescuing, as I cut it by mistake. I was attempting to integrate the criticism/controversy section that had been at the bottom of the article for some time with major weight issues into the body article and that, of course, required cleaning up. Looks like that ref slipped through the cracks... Oh well, glad we got it figured out! Thanks, Happyme22 (talk) 03:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I guess I missed it, although I could swear I didn't see the cut. And I even went back and looked for it earlier than your edits. Oh, well, I must be tired. Thanks for taking care of it.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:04, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Happyme22,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 01:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate the work that you're doing, but I really just don't have the time to partake in the interview. I see, though, that you have plenty of well-informed administrators signed up, so hopefully that will get the job done! I appreciate your interest and thank you for the request. Very sincerely, Happyme22 (talk) 06:44, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Main page appearance: Richard Nixon

This is a note to let the main editors of Richard Nixon know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 9, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 9, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Richard Nixon (1913–1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. He graduated from Whittier College in 1934 and Duke University School of Law in 1937, returning to California to practice law. He served in the United States Navy during World War II. Nixon was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and to the Senate in 1950. He served for eight years as vice president, from 1953 to 1961, and waged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1960, narrowly losing to John F. Kennedy. In 1968, Nixon ran again for president and was elected. He initially escalated the Vietnam War, but ended US involvement in 1973. Nixon's visit to the People's Republic of China in 1972 opened diplomatic relations between the two nations. Though he presided over Apollo 11, he scaled back manned space exploration. He was re-elected by a landslide in 1972 despite a series of revelations in the Watergate scandal, which cost Nixon much of his political support in his second term, and on August 9, 1974 he resigned as president. In retirement, Nixon's work as an elder statesman, authoring several books and undertaking many foreign trips, helped to rehabilitate his public image. (Full article...)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Invitation to Admin confidence survey

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

German Wikipedia—frustrating treatment there

I found an article on German Wikipedia that needed to be brought into line with the English version. I read German well. Going over the history in ‘’’Liste der Gouverneure Oberkaliforniens,’’’ Click here, I see that while editing, someone reverted all my edits then reverted them back again. Then a third person appeared, following which I was blocked to infinity without warning. The instructions tell me to contact an Admin there, but I was also blocked from contacting an admin—or even editing my own user page.

If you can read the opening paragraph in German, you should understand that someone with no knowledge of California history made it up as they went along. There is also visible Wiki Markup that I think should be removed. Do the Germans know what they are doing?

Most all my edits on the page were accepted, then I was blocked. Can you help, please?

This may assist them:

Während ich gerade an einem Artikel über mein Heimatland arbeitete, wurde ich plötzlich blockiert. Trotzdem waren die meisten meiner Änderungen erfolgreich. Nachdem ich den Verlauf überprüft hatte, stellte ich fest, dass jemand anderes gleichzeitig an dem Artikel arbeitete. Dies führte zu einiger Verwirrung.

Ich vertraue darauf, dass Sie Englischkenntnisse im Lesen haben. Ich empfehle Ihnen, den ersten Absatz dieses Artikels hier mit der englischen Wikipedia zu vergleichen. Wenn Sie das tun, werden Sie sehen, dass der erste Absatz unsinnig ist. Jemand hat es erfunden.

Beachten Sie auch, dass eine Überschrift "Bundesstaat" lautet. Das ist eine schlechte Grammatik. Außerdem sollte <!- Vorlage:Stack-> in geändert werden, damit es unsichtbar bleibt.

Thank you if you can help!

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account. What do I need to do? Only to follow the instructions in this message. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites). Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable). Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers. How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)? You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
