editThanks for copy-editing the article. I noticed you removed non-working links, which should not be done. Please refer to WP:BADLINK for reasons why and then either just restore the links you deleted, or check out WP:DEADLINK and then try to repair the dead links yourself. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for December 1
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of libraries, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Storrs (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:34, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
Ways to improve Boston Library Consortium
editHello, Topshelver,
Thank you for creating Boston Library Consortium.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
The article is currently too reliant on primary sources, and needs more citations to secondary sources that provide significant coverage of the BLC. Of the sources currently cited, the only one that seemed to clearly be a secondary source with significant coverage was #13.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

editHello, Topshelver
Thank you for creating Sidney Waxman.
User:Blythwood, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Looks solid. Only things I've needed to add are standard cleanup for an academic an authority control link (that links to work on catalogues of papers-it's not activated yet) and a default sort link (indexes in categories by surname). And put a tag on the talk page. Hope that all makes sense!
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Blythwood}}

Speedy deletion nomination of Hilda May Williams
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Hilda May Williams requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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. 88.202.169.242 (talk) 03:07, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs
editThank you for your recent articles, including Irving Gilman Davis, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. This can be also done through this helpful user script: User:SD0001/DYK-helper. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
@Piotrus: Thanks for letting me know about this easy self-nomination feature, Piotrus! I will definitely do this next time I create an article. Topshelver (talk) 13:43, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
editThank you for your recent articles, including Irving Gilman Davis, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject 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 {{WikiProject Keyword}} 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. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
@Piotrus: Thanks for this helpful tip. Is it appropriate not only to tag one's own newly created article with the relevant WikiProjects, but also to rate the article's quality and importance? Or is the rating more appropriately left to other editors? I've often wondered about that. Topshelver (talk) 13:45, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- I think it is totally ok to rate your articles, up to the B/GA levels where it is best practice to ask others (for B, for GA and higher one has to ask, see WP:GAN). But below I think it is fine to rate articles yourself as much as you want, since the logic is that anyone can determine what is low to mid-quality or importance. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:50, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Understood. Thanks again. Topshelver (talk) 20:22, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
New articles
editHi there. I just have a curious question. I've seen several articles so far in your edit history that you suddenly created in place, complete, all at once, but with no history of any edits in having created them. Where did the text come from? Charles Phelps, Sigmund Strochlitz, Harry L. Garrigus, Alan T. Busby, Rollin Williams. Thanks. — Smuckola(talk) 05:46, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
@Smuckola: Good question. I write up most of my articles in the text editor, or in a document and then copy-and-paste into the editor, and publish. I just find it easier to write a substantial entry upfront than to publish a stub and build it up to a start or C-class. Topshelver (talk) 22:30, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Topshelver: Well that's pretty amazing. Not even in the browser for a continuous preview of all these templates and links? You just crank them out huh? :) I just wanted to be sure it was actually the most unlikely possible scenario, and not somehow a copyright violation of text dumping, but I figured yeah maybe this guy is just this good. :) My hat is off to you for the photos and signatures and templates and everything, and for all these unsung long-lost figures. We've been doing some affirmative action via edit-a-thons for women in red and black history. Sometimes I get a surprise and find one that's actually interesting. ;) — Smuckola(talk) 23:05, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Smuckola: No problem. I find writing for Wikipedia kinda meditative and got back into it during the pandemic. I did lose my draft once when the VisualEditor crashed, but otherwise it's worked out well. Thanks for your kind words! Topshelver (talk) 04:52, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Biographies
editHi, Topshelver. I don't know if you're aware of it, but Wikipedia has a sizable list of not-yet-created biographies of possibly notable people from Find A Grave. I wanted to let you know about this, since it seems right up your alley (in fact, you already knocked one off the list by creating Rex Brasher). TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 20:30, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- @TheTechnician27: I was not aware of this list! Thank you for sharing. Topshelver (talk) 15:52, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

The article West Chester B-25 crash has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents, a military aircraft crash in routine training flight is usually not considered notable.
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.
While tragic, military aircraft training accidents are usually not notable. MKFI (talk) 13:15, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
editWomen 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! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Oaklands Cemetery burials
editHello, great work on adding West Chester folk to Wikipedia; I've been tracking your work the last couple days and you've done an excellent job! Just wanted to send a note to nudge you about the comment at the top of the Oaklands Cemetery#Notable burials section (about adding citations to the cemetery page when adding individual names to the list of notable burials). --Engineerchange (talk) 22:03, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, I can start adding citations on the cemetery page for new notable burials. Thanks for all your own contributions on West Chester people! I've been able to take multiple historical figures off my list of new pages to create. Topshelver (talk) 22:11, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words! --Engineerchange (talk) 03:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Autopatrolled granted
editHi Topshelver, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Aoidh (talk) 10:07, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I appreciate the trust that the Wikipedia community has shown in me by issuing me this user right, and I will do my best to uphold that trust. Topshelver (talk) 12:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
