If you've come to this talk page, you've probably already realized that I may take things too seriously at times. The above graphic is here in recognition of the necessity to keep things "in proper perspective". Thank you for understanding. Note: in 2015, this graphic is obviously out of date – no "Obama is teh gay LOL", and only the slightest hint of Wikipedia's expansive pop-culture sewer (e.g. untold hundreds or possibly even thousands of articles apiece on assorted minutiae related to Disney, The Simpsons, South Park, etc. etc.). I'll be waiting for WikiProject Amy Winehouse with eager anticipation.

First National Bank Alaska and Primary/Secondary Sources[edit]

Hello RadioKAOS! First, thank you for all the contributions you've made to the First National Bank Alaska article. We've enjoyed seeing it become more robust as those with an interest in Alaska businesses and history add information. We see that you've added a banner suggesting that the article include more secondary and/or tertiary sources. Forgive us the question, as we are not experts on this platform, but do you have any specific suggestions on how we might help to improve the article? Without editing it ourselves, obviously! We've discussed asking employees and customers to contribute their knowledge and experience with FNB, with an emphasis that their additions avoid promotional commentary. Would that be advisable? Thanks in advance for your input on this! Fnbalaska (talk) 20:53, 5 November 2018 (UTC)fnbalaska

Vandalism[edit]

The guys who hit the list of Anchorage mayors did a number on the Mayors of Los Angeles too. (Ethen Hazelnut?). They need to be watched.WQUlrich (talk) 19:29, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that last month Ben Stevens or someone working on his behalf removed all material referencing him from the AK corruption probe. I restored it, and updated the lead section and table (i.e., Tom Anderson is finished serving his time). I noticed that you have previously edited the page. If you have the time, could you review my edits for accuracy? You're very familiar with the subject. I'd appreciate it. Activist (talk) 05:45, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment[edit]

Hey RadioKAOS; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

CDPs[edit]

First off, I agree with tagging the section as incomplete. While I don't do it anymore, for years I watched many county articles nationwide, and as such I've often seen people add non-CDPs to CDP sections, having misunderstood what a CDP is. For this reason, we really really need to have an article on a community (or a citation to the Census Bureau or the GNIS) before putting it into a CDP section on a county or borough article. I definitely wouldn't object to a restoration with citation! I don't think that 1980 or 1990 CDPs have been suppressed; it's simply that we don't have information easily available for them, and most people aren't going to go digging for information to write about them. Meanwhile, lots of people have been writing about the new 2010 CDPs; presumably Alaska's not gotten much attention because...it's Alaska and not many people pay attention to it. Meanwhile, my removal of the Fairbanks neighborhoods was a matter of practicality and standard practise — nationwide, we don't include lists of city neighborhoods in county articles. They definitely deserve to be mentioned, but in the city article or in a piece of prose in the borough article's not-yet-created history section; including places that are neither cities nor unincorporated areas in this section is at variance with what we do nationwide, since Fairbanks neighborhoods are already covered with a link to Fairbanks.

Alaska and the little places that make it[edit]

Hey there- I was reading over your post on Nytends talk pager and I am willing to be schooled/taught about Alaska so that I can contribute small town articles etc etc. My main are of interest is of course coal towns in KY and WV and PA and TN and OH, however, Alaska is a fascinating place to me as well. I was in particular interested about your discussion of CDPs......I have alot of fun with those as well as you might imagine. Small places are a fascination of mine, and if you dont believe me, just taker a look at my contributions page and I am sure you will see I am being rather truthful.

Susan Butcher article[edit]

Not that you don't have plenty on your plate, but the Susan Butcher article has large chunks that are straight rip-off from Source 1. I added the NYT obit to references, but would like to have a couple other sources as I am lousy at rewrites and pussyfooting around text. If you would care to tackle the rewrite, great, but if not could you point me to another RS? Most of the external links are dead.

BTW good eye on the Soldotna shopping center. Dankarl (talk) 01:02, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Fortunately the copyvio material was a recent addition, I reverted and then restored those recent additions that were from other sources (I hope correctly). I need to go on wikibreak but talk-page modification will generate an email if you need clarification. Dankarl (talk) 13:30, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

What would be most useful at this point would be if you could somehow get the text of the Talbott article (ref 14) from the News-Miner which seems to have been a main source for the version of the article I reverted to. If we knew what parts of that article were sourced then we would know what we need to beef up. If you have time you could check and insert inline citations (I guessed on some Talbotts), otherwise i will tackle it when I get back. No crisis, the article is as good or better than it was at the beginning of May.

If you need to get in touch, please use the Commons talkpage as it, unlike the one on WP, sends me an email alert on modification. I've done a little more cleanup and added some live links to the article and am now trying to convince myself i really am on wikibreak. Dankarl (talk) 15:06, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Tom Peterson[edit]

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Tom Peterson. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. I presume you acted in good faith, and appreciate your bringing this to the attention of WikiProject Oregon. However, the fact that your notice espoused a particular point of view predisposed to disagree with your opinion. YBG (talk) 04:56, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

The above template-generated notice might have seemed to bite a bit. To clarify, your notification was

• completely appropriate in its scale (limited, not spamming), and transparancy (open, not off-wiki);
• a little questionable in the audience (WikiProject Oregon is obviously interested, but could be considered partisan)
• inappropriate only in its message (biased, not neutral).

Thanks for brining it to our attention and please keep on working to make WP a better encyclopedia!!!! YBG (talk) 05:17, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Alaska political corruption probe[edit]

I've been trying to tighten up the Alaska political corruption probe page, which needs a lot of work. I've done quite a bit over time and recently. However, my efforts to get irrelevant and apparently libelous materials and harangues off the page have been frustrated by one or two posters (there may be sock puppetry there). You usually have some good suggestions and you've been involved in editing the page for some time. Have you any thoughts about it that might be helpful? Activist (talk) 05:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for all your input.

I posted prior text to the BLP Noticeboard last night. Got some good feedback from one editor. I think there's been more but I've just gotten back on line after being off since the wee hours this a.m. so I'll look for that in a minute.

You don't see anything that ties the whole matter into the actual subject of the article because there isn't anything. You're right about Lisa, of course. There was a very tenuous connection between her land deal in Kenai and the Polar Pen investigation through Bob Penney's connection to Ted's "chalet." But the connection was remote. In the case of Duncan and ASEA, there's none, of course. There was actually a connection between Polar Pen and Ketchikan. Frank Prewitt, Weimar and Cornell wanted to build a rent-a-pen on Gravina Island, with the feds pitching in a quarter of a billion to build the necessary bridge and an intertie. It didn't go anywhere because the Borough Assembly knew better and Bill W. and Frank P. turned their attention to where they thought they had better action: In Wrangell, where Robin Taylor was involved, and Whittier, where the mayor, the city administrator (for a "city" of 182 people), and the harbormaster all had their fingers in the pie. I don't think the schemers ever wanted to build in Whittier, where there's no labor force, the tunnel problem, tsunamis, avalanche and probably a potential Superfund problem, but it was the mechanism they were using to get the state to change the law to favor their various schemes. If they were able to do that, they could have built anywhere. Knowles wasn't going for it, as were many legislators who gave it the fish eye. In addition to the above grifters, Jerry Ward, Loren Leman and Eldon Mulder were also looking to score big with Cornell or whomever. Frank M. wasn't enthusiastic about the various Cornell/Prewitt/Weimar schemes that included Sitka, Nome (!), and Mat Su as well as those others. There was some talk about Fairbanks, too, but legislators such as Bud Fate put the kibosh on that notion. Uncle Ted got the dough, almost, for the Gravina bridge, but Tom Coburn put a stop to it.

I thought that Frank M. tanked the Bank of the North, only. Were there other banks involved? Lindauer and Obermeyer posting on Wikipedia? Now there's a scary thought! Activist (talk) 05:54, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

I went back and looked at what I had remembered about the connection between Lisa Murkowski and Bob Penney and Stevens' Girdwood "chalet." I was wrong. It was not Bob Penney who was involved in the note about the expansion of the Stevens home, it was Bob Persons. Sorry about that. Activist (talk) 21:21, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Canton OH page[edit]

Your edits to the Canton Ohio page have been really great. I keep a bit of an eye on it for any serious vandalism but am far from a Wikipedia pro that I'd try to do anything too fancy.

Is that something you'd be interested in adding so the Canton page can be more complete? ----DB — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.95.246 (talk) 17:37, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Sean Parnell[edit]

I guess I can go along with your edit to the Hanford, California article but I would suspect that Sean Parnell is little known outside of Alaska so that the oircumstances of his succession to Sarah Palin would seem to be of interest in my opinion. Parnell is even little known in Hanford athough the local paper once did a story on him. I understand that his family moved away when he was very young. Armona (talk) 20:43, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Tlingit Collage[edit]

I wasn't quite sure of everything I was doing when putting the collage together, since I'm not a very experienced Wikipedian when it comes to images. Can the classification of the collage image be changed if necessary? Please feel free to create a collage with only free images, if you can. I simply thought Tlingit people deserved a collage, rather than a single image. Ketchikanadian (talk) 02:36, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Lindauer[edit]

I was reading the page for Susan Lindauer, as her name came up in a search I did. It's an OK article, though I wasn't sure what to do with an ADN link for an article behind a paywall. I did insert the reporter's name and edited the URL. Then I hit on the link to her dad's page. I couldn't hardly believe it. There's almost nothing in there about his 1990 "campaign" for governor, when he stepped aside for Wally, very late in the game. There's only the briefest mention of his 1998 race for governor, nothing about Tony or Robin or Jerry (who also stepped aside, but for Coghill in 1990, only to join him again). I think that the page has been well scrubbed.

Weird.

Sgt. Slaughter[edit]

Hi. Please do not add unsourced material to articles, as you did with this edit to Sgt. Slaughter. Material in articles, especially that which goes to a subject's notability, must be accompanied by citations of secondary sources, which a veteran editor like you should know by now. The WWE's own website is not a secondary source, that's a primary source. In addition, those sources need to be in the article, and not in an edit summary. "The sky is blue" does not. As for Barack Obama, his presidency is indeed sourced in his article. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Oogruk[edit]

Good timing with the oogruk post. I'd just come across two Alaskan rivers that I was curious about. Is Anikovik River derived from anak (excrement) as is Anaktuvuk Pass? The other is Itkillik River. Would the use of Itkillik be derogatory or just a simple statement? Just noticed that could be spelt "itqiliq" in other dialects. One other thing. Do you know what the name would be for fermented seal fliipers? CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 18:10, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

My knowledge of Inupiaq is rather limited, but place names are often portmanteau words. I believe the ending "vik" or "vuk" refers to a place or direction. Ukpiaġvik is the place (Barrow) to hunt snowy owls. Kaktovik (on Barter Island) is the place of seine fishing. Anaktuvuk is the place of caribou droppings, and "anak" (prounounced "uhn-uck") refers to any excrement, the "tu" is from "tuttu" (caribou). I don't know what "anik" means; it might mean sister or brother. The name for fermented seal flippers is "utruk," I think. There are different dialects in Alaska, mostly divided by the North Slope and Kobuk river. Anaktuvuk is where the mountain Inupiat live. I was surprised to hear the difference in the pronunciation of word for the Kivgik festival, for instance, with the North Slope dialect compared to those coming from Kivilina. I think that generally the people from the northern tip of Greenland southwest to Unalakleet can understand each other more easily than Spanish speakers can understand Portuguese. Activist (talk) 21:00, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I should have remembered that anik means a "woman's brother", as it is used here also at the Inuktitut Living Dictionary. Can't link directly to the word. That shows it used in Siglitun, Labrador and Inuinnaqtun. Itqiliq means Cree/Dene or Indian (First Nations) but I don't think I have ever heard it used in any way other than an insult. It's in both the links as well. The dictionary gives several spellings for caribou, tuttu, tuttuk, tuttuq and the most common, tuktu. Most Inuinnaqtun speakers (Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Ulukhaktok) will have no difficulty in understanding other dialects to the west but will say that they can't understand people further east. Sometimes you will hear people from one community complain that the other two communities don't speak Inuinnaqtun correctly. On the other hand my brother-in-law (Ulukhaktok) had no difficulty in picking up the dialect from Taloyoak. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 22:09, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Sylvia Sullivan[edit]

I was trying to remember the name of the bag lady/creature from another planet who ran for US Senator and/or Governor in the late '90s. Was it Sylvia Sullivan? She may have been the first statewide candidate in Alaska to run her campaign from a shopping cart. I remember her on Ratnet, I think, being interviewed wearing a beret that was covered with some reflecting attachments. Every time she moved, they flashed from the camera lights. Either that, or she was getting signals through the fillings in her teeth and interference from them in the ether was causing those sparks. Then again, she may have been a plant to make Theresa Obermeyer look more "normal." Curious, I Googled her name and found this:

The last time I heard of anything like this happening, it was to the 1998 Alaska Independence Party (AIP) gubernatorial candidate, Sylvia Sullivan. She won the primary, but the party leadership disavowed her, refused to allow an AIP member to be on the ticket with her as Lt. Governor, and endorsed the GOP candidate instead.From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner:

Aug. 28, 1998 — The Alaskan Independence Party has abandoned its gubernatorial candidate and endorsed the Republican Party’s ticket, saying its primary winner is neither viable nor "right for Alaska."

Sylvia Sullivan, the AIP candidate, disparaged the desertion Thursday and vowed to remain in the race.

The AIP’s state committee voted late Wednesday to endorse Republican John Lindauer and running mate Jerry Ward, who won Tuesday’s primary and were on the AIP ticket briefly in 1990. They also declined to name a candidate to the party’s vacant lieutenant governor slot on the November ballot. At first, I thought they rejected her because of her notoriously batshit behavior. I know first-hand of what I speak, as I ran into Sylvia online in 2005. She was quite the tinfoil hat wearer and ALLCAPS RANTER (her critics called her PSYLVIA PSULLIVAN). On the other hand, the AIP is a fringe party, and is hardly in a position to complain about oddball behavior.

My revised hypothesis is that Sylvia may have been too liberal for them. Check out her official page and notice all the "helping the little guy" credentials. I'm now more enamored of this idea, as the AIP is associated with the ultra-right Constitution Party, the direct descendant of George Wallace's American Independent Party.

Read more at ONTD Political: http://ontd-political.livejournal.com/6398447.html#ixzz381s49eWo

Still, she did get 4,000+ votes, I'm guessing from Todd Palin and other loopy Lou's who neglected to abide by cues to exit stage right. Despite the AIP endorsement, the Lindauer/Ward ticket got less votes than Robin Taylor, a future unindicted member of the CBC, in my estimation. Please feel free to erase these comments. Activist (talk) 17:25, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

I certainly did confuse the two. I had remembered that "Sylvia" was a nutcase who ran for statewide office, and I thought she was from Fairbanks, but when I read about Sylvia Sullivan from Valdez, I thought I'd just misremembered her home town.

Hi there,

I wrestled with the newly titled Alaska Dispatch News article (redirect from the ADN article). Could you take a look at the "Controvery" section and see if a better solution to a Wikipedia sourcing problem than that which I have used might replace mine? Before my edits, the section bordered on unreadable. Activist (talk) 20:39, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

The new, official name of the paper is the "Alaska Dispatch News" This is an official name change, and I included a reference. Not sure about the controversy sections, etc. I don't like that section either but I left it alone, assuming good faith. Juneau Mike (talk) 05:40, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I hope my edits were acceptable. Activist (talk) 06:51, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Mead Treadwell page[edit]

I read the Treadwell page and it sounded like it had been written by his campaign. It's hagiographic. I mean, Mother Theresa wouldn't get such promotional writeup. Even George Washington chopped down a cherry tree. I see you did a lot of work on the article. Sullivan is beating up on him now, so I'm guessing there are some skeletons in Mead's closet that we'll see. What do you think? Activist (talk) 04:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Per your old request about his name, I found this recent story. APRN had one as well. You're right about his name, but this Lisa Demer story helps avoid using primary sources to confirm that: http://www.adn.com/article/20140621/candidate-profile-treadwells-underdog-run-us-senate-draws-40-years-alaska-work Activist (talk) 21:46, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

What bugs me about the AGF response is that most editors who seem to have better sense still accept that defense when the person making the anti-candidate or promotional edits claims to be NPOV. This is despite the fact that application of the "duck test" leads one with a high degree of confidence to assess them as paid p.r.stooges, working off a client list.

Thanks for your work on the Hamby page. Very interesting. Activist (talk) 10:20, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

I see you have {{User:FMacks/Not admin}} on your userpage. FMacks (no relation to me as far as I know) is an indef-blocked sock, and that template of his also has some intrinsic mistakes in it (mis-categorizes pages). It looks like {{User wikipedia/Non-Administrator}} is an equivalent. Could you replace your use (or let me know what other/different features you need) so I can scrap that broken one?

Alaska[edit]

I have noticed you have changed my edit on the Alaska page. As you have pointed out, Byron Mallott was elected on Bill Walker's unity ticket. If you are not aware, a unity ticket is where two candidates from two different parties run together as running mantes. Mallott managed to secure the Democratic party's nomination for Governor. He chose, however, to merge his campaign with Walker and be his running mate. You stated that Bill Walker indentifies himself as a Republican, but he left the GOP to run for governor as an independant. You were correct in stating that Mallott is a known Democrat. However, states can have governors and lt. governors of different political parties. Walker and Mallott are no different. I would like to reference the List of current United States lieutenant governors page to you. There is are two maps on this page that have Alaska in blue, showing that Mallott is represented as a Democrat. Write back if you have any more questions. I would prefer not to get into an edit war. Thanks! Count Awesome (talk) 5:56, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi-I expanded the articles about A. H. Ziegler, Bob Ziegler, and Norman R. Walker who served in the Alaska Territorial Legislator. They were redirects. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 15:22, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Elwood Bruner[edit]

Hi-I came across an article about Elwood Bruner. He served in the California State Assembly and then moved to Nome, Alaska where he practiced law and served in the Alaska Territorial Senate until his death. Okay-I want to encourage and thank you; you do excellent work with Wikipedia especially with Alaska. Many thanks for your work. RFD (talk) 21:57, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Jake Metcalfe, etc.[edit]

I was looking at the page and checked the history. This is something I don't understand. There's an entry as if in an infobox, but it doesn't visibly show in the article. It indicates that Jake died in Austin, TX, two years ago. I'm not sure how he'd feel about that. The Mark Twain quote comes to mind. Activist (talk) 15:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC) Jake is very much alive, and "Patrice" is actually spelled correctly. She is otherwise known as "Sissy" Parker, married to Bill Parker. As usual, you do great work and thanks much. Activist (talk) 10:08, 12 February 2015 (UTC) Also checking out the top of your page and noticed the "baited breath." Found this: "The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it’s so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there’s every chance that it will soon become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: “She hasn’t responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breath”." I also wondered about "the town you've never heard of with three people," and thought it might be Chicken, which I've transversed en route to Eagle. Wikipedia says census 2010 was 7 people.

Bob Bettisworth[edit]

Hi-I started an article on a former Alaska legislator Bob Bettisworth who died recently. You may want to look at it. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 12:51, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

I am back-the Governor of Alaska Bill Walker ordered the flags in Alaska to lower at half mast. According to the press release Bettisworth in the Alaska Legislature in 1957-1958 and 1981-1985. I checked the 100 years Alaska Legislature website and Bob Bettisworth served in the legislature from 1979-1984 which his obituary also stated. Governor Bill Walker's press release was wrong regarding the years Bob Bettisworth served in the Alaska Legislature. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 14:33, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Anchorage Fire Department[edit]

Just politely wondering here, you are a pretty active editor on Alaska issues.

Your contributed article, List of people from Canton, Ohio[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of people from Canton, Ohio. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_from_Canton,_Ohio. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_from_Canton,_Ohio – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Drjamesphillips (talk) 00:59, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

I would invite you to come to the talk page for this and get a consensus Drjamesphillips (talk) 00:59, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of people from Canton, Ohio[edit]

Hello RadioKAOS, Drjamesphillips came in to the Wikipedia IRC help chat, regarding the talk page message you left. He felt it was out of proportion, and I think I agree. Drjamesphillips is a new user, unfamiliar with the guidelines about overlap between categories and articles, and they appear to have meant well. Your objection to the PROD, though the reasons were valid, was I feel a bit too harsh in the wording, and seems to have hurt and discouraged Drjamesphillips.

Hi, there. You're a more accomplished Wikipedia editor than I, and have far greater knowledge of Alaskana.

AK pols cleanup[edit]

Hi, again. I was editing some AK politicians pages and was trying to sort out Senate Districts. I found Hollis French's article to be in need of a great deal of work and cleaned it up as best I could, being a bit tight for time. I found that Ellis, French and Gardner were all listed simultaneously as minority leader. Then I went to Johnny Ellis' article and found that an editor had inserted his birth name as "Dennis William Egan." I expect the editor was rushing and on 23 March inserted that info. I went to his or her contribution page, and found that maybe 3,000 edits had been made subsequently, almost all of them regarding elected politicians from around the world or actors on the world stage (i.e. Victoria Nuland). A few of those edits followed yours that you made to Andy Josephson's article. I wonder if you could take a look at the edits made by him or her to see if they're correct? I had changed Johnny's supposed birth name to Johnny Ellis, but I'll go back and remove that rather than research it to make sure that's correct. Certainly, he's not Bill Egan's son with the same name by another mother. Thanks once again for all your great Alaskana work. Activist (talk) 07:54, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, you've been quiet so long I was quite surprised to get this much of a response. I figured you were probably busy as hell or burned out. Other than getting one, how does the PFD affect your life? I notice it's over $2,000 once again. Thanks for getting back to me. As usual, you're very helpful. I couldn't imagine how all that crap about French stayed on his (or for anyone's) article for so long... I was just appalled when I read it. I left the business about him claiming to be a marine, because I had no knowledge of the matter at all. I didn't know about the tenure issue. I knew that Johnny had served for quite some time, in the House before the Senate. I was surprised his article was so scanty. I also was aware that Lyman had served for a long time, but didn't recall how long. I knew of Hohman only by rep and through mutual (now long dead) friends, who liked him a lot and were distressed by his demise. When I started poking around in the AK legislators articles, and saw the succession for Johnny's seat, I was surprised not to see an article for Pat Pourchot, given his long and interesting career. Now Ogan, he was forgettable IMHO. I think a Vic Fischer article would be warranted too, but I'm hardly the one to do it. I wonder if Charles Wolforth edits Wikipedia? I don't know if what you're referring to is my comments on CA-23's talk page, but that's quite a district, which has wandered around central California like Moses in the desert. Keeping track of the incumbents from decades ago seems like a huge waste of time and server space. Activist (talk) 10:04, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Byron Mallott Party Affiliation[edit]

So I recently changed Mallott's party affiliation in Template:Current Alaska statewide political officials to Democratic from Independent. You reverted this edit claiming that sources indicated he was a Democrat. Does this source that indicates he did not change his party registration to "undeclared" in order to run as an Independent suffice? http://www.adn.com/article/20140901/walker-mallott-join-forces-governors-race He is also listed on the Alaska Democratic Party's website (http://www.alaskademocrats.org/elected-officials/) though this he is listed along with Independent Governor Bill Walker.

Nick Bockwinkel[edit]

Hello, I've been trying my best to clean up the article, but it's tough to find good sources. I have some books, but those aren't always specific on years. I'm waiting for the Dave Meltzer bio that should be coming out soon. I've also added a bit about his days in Atlanta. Is there anything you could add?

Hi, once more. I had looked at the nominations for Alaska people article and thought I should contribute.

I did a lot of work on it and removed the "stub" notice. If you could take a look, and see if I got it right, I'd appreciate.

Washington DC[edit]

You have been mislead by Good olfactory's false accusations. The Germany issue is a red herring that has no relevance to Washington, DC. The District of Columbia existed in no way, shape, means or form in 1789. The only reason the Germany categories have some chance of surviving is because there was an idea of Germany before 1871. There was not any idea of Washington DC before 1790, and it was not actually created until after that date. In 1789 no one envisioned it, and actions in Georgetown were not in it. His ideas lead to placing Mosques built in 1789 as in Israel or actions done in the Indus Valley in 1789 as in Pakistan, although the person who invented that name would not be born for nearly a century. He uses one iffy issue, Germany, to try and falsely influence other places where it is 100% clear that there is no workable way to retroactively impose the modern name on the past.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:25, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

@Johnpacklambert:, this is a bit pointless carrying on this debate away from the discussion, but I think it would be helpful if you were more careful about the assumptions you make. User:RadioKAOS made their comments in the discussion before "Germany" was mentioned either by me or by anyone else, so it's impossible that they were misled by the issue at the time the comments were made.

The links added do not link to article on Wikipedia, this therefor means the individuals do not have pages on Wikipedia, and are currently not notable enough to be on wikipedia. If the individual can have their notability established, please go ahead and do so. Otherwise, adding red links is not a useful or helpful addition to Wikipedia. Also only adding those individuals to be linked in selective, and a POV, as it is a judgement call and not a reasoned basis as to why these and not the others being linked. There should be no red links in any articles, as the links do not work. Can you therefor please remove the red links that were added. Sport and politics (talk) 20:43, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Stale drafts[edit]

There is a rule that articles in draft space which have an {{AfC submission}} tag may be deleted if they have not been touched for more than six months. Unfortunately there is no rule for articles in that space without the tag but I think that the same rule should apply. I have put in User:RadioKAOS/stale drafts a list of yours - there may be others where you were not the last person to edit. (In fact having created it, I realise that list is small beer compared to the stuff in your user space.)

Another view is that keeping drafts without submitting could be considered to be using Wikipedia as a free host.

I hasten to say that in two respects you are not as bad as the two worst offenders I have seen: the number of articles is much smaller and you seem willing to discuss matters in a calm manner. Nevertheless I would like you to review your drafts and either submit them for mainspace or copy them off to your own machine. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:48, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Crittenden is by far the most significant Alaskan architect I have yet to write about. It seems more difficult to find projects of his than those of other practitioners, despite his influence.

But, I do have a decent list going, and when I can get my hands on some solid biographical information, an article on him should be forthcoming.

"What little interaction I've had with Niteshift36 reveals a propensity for turning every discussion into a ridiculously protracted argument," Your limited interaction seems to be related mostly to a single topic (G4S), yet you make a sweeping statement like that (and try to make it ok by inserting some weasel wording).

WP:RDH-style question[edit]

In the lower 48, lots of ordinary things such as marriage licenses, property transfers, restaurant inspections by health departments, etc. are routinely handled by counties. Here in Virginia, all the non-county areas are cities, which are constitutionally required to perform such duties themselves or contract out with adjacent counties to do it, and I suppose the same is true in Baltimore, St. Louis, and Carson City, the other three independent cities nationwide. But what about in unincorporated places in the Unorganized Borough? Say you move to Tok and want to buy a house and get married. Do you have to phone some office in Juneau to get this stuff done? Any references would help to improve the article on the Unorganized Borough. Nyttend (talk) 01:58, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Stubbs the cat[edit]

The discussion at the AFD is closed, but I read your comment to me. I respect your experience and judgement, and I hope you respect mine. There are many editors, myself included, who disagreed with you and the general consensus was that it was notable. Unfortunately (at times), Wikipedia is a tertiary source which does in fact parrot secondary sources (WP:V, WP:SECONDARY). We go by what those secondary sources say is true, even if we believe it not to be (WP:TRUTH). The article about the cat makes it rather clear that it's a tourist gimmick (as are most animals with honorary positions like the cat at the Algonquin Hotel or Tama (cat).

List of Alaskan aviators[edit]

Hi RadioKAOS
I note that, back in January 2014, you objected to and reverted the deletion of unsourced names from the List of Alaskan aviators as seen in this diff.
The list currently has 119 names, of which 12 have articles, and 107 neither have articles, nor any references whatsoever (let alone references meeting WP:BIO i.e including "significant coverage", which is the requirement for such lists)
On 10 June 2017 I added the "alumni people" template to that article and explained the rules/guidelines for stand-alone lists on the talk page. I also proposed removing all names not complying with Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists and suggested allowing 2 months before so doing. It is now nearly 4 months later, and I propose carrying this out shortly.
The purpose of this post is to inform you of this, in case you wish to add references, before I delete 107/119 names. - Arjayay (talk) 09:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

relocated buildings category[edit]

Hi i noticed your adding a "relocated buildings" category to the Pioneer School House building article, an article which did not mention any relocation, and I revised the article to cover its moving, based on NRHP document. Are you working from some list/source of relocated buildings? There's this similar edit by you of the Alaska Native Medical Center, an article which mentions a relocation of the hospital programs and patients and staff to a different building but not any moving of a building. I wonder whether there is an unmentioned move of a building, or if you are using the term "relocated" differently? --Doncram (talk) 03:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello[edit]

Dear RadioKAOS. I thought I'd say hello and tell you how refreshing your comments are regarding pro wrestling. It's a little depressing (but not surprising) to see only one or two Wikipedians are interested in the "Territory-era". As an amateur researcher, I too share your feelings about the questionable research methods used when articles are proposed/nominated for deletion. For example, it took me five minutes to find a magazine article on Kangaroo Kennedy when it was deleted a few years ago. Lee Wyckoff, a rival of Everett Marshall during the 1930s, is another that caught my eye. I wonder if anyone bothered to search under the alternate spelling of "Wycoff"? Anyway, I appreciate your time. Sincerely, a fellow wrestling fan. 72.74.198.247 (talk) 08:25, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Andrew Berg Cabin and other NRHP stuff[edit]

Hey, I think you were referring to me with statement that "The nominator appears to lack understanding of the fact that encyclopedic content should cater to a general audience, not to the whims of active editors here to push their favorite topics". I don't get what you mean by that. In general I have a sense that you don't like short stub NRHP articles, and you might blame me for creating some in Alaska or elsewhere, though I believe my contributions in Alaska NRHP articles have been good (e.g. I always have included the good NRHP document as a source and should have always developed some substantial content). But your comment was within Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/South Portland Historic District, where I was objecting to the creation of a too-short-in-my view article. I would think you would agree with me there. If you care to explain, I don't mind hearing your unvarnished thoughts. But really, I do think the development of NRHP articles in Alaska is generally good, and has in general supported other Alaska coverage.

About the NRHP-listed Andrew Berg Cabin built in 1902, about which you commented, please see Talk:Andrew Berg Cabin. By the way, is there or should there be an article about the non-NRHP visitor center or museum where the 1935 cabin is now located? I currently think the 1935 cabin and other Andrew Berg cabins should be covered in the Andrew Berg article, with only the 1902 NRHP-listed one split out. Do comment there. --Doncram (talk) 01:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Beverly Bennett Dobbs[edit]

FYI. Thought his films and work might interest you. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:11, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Stop harassing me[edit]

I have tried to be nice. I have complimented you. I have offered to collaborate with you. I have patted you on the back, with sincerity. And yet, you find fault with everything I do. Enough is enough. Ignore me if you must, but stop trying to undo everything I do. I always edit in good faith. Please leave me be, and stop trying to undo my good faith edits. I know you mean well, but this is starting to feel like bullying. Please stop. Thank you. Juneau Mike (talk) 02:04, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

WP:Verifiability[edit]

Above the edit box on every page it clearly says "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable." If it's too much work for you to provide sources for material you add to the encyclopedia, maybe you should find another hobby. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 06:30, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Is there any rhyme or reason to this? RadioKAOS criticizes everyone, but when there are good faith and well enunciated critiques of him, utter silence. No response of any kind. It's as though any criticism is beneath any response from him. Wikipedia doesn't need this type of arrogance among its editors. I would be happy to collaborate with him. I've complimented him several times. I've publically thanked him for edits. And what do I get in return? Constant and vigorous criticism. He follows my every post, even responding on the pages of editors - and in one case, an admin - who I merely let know about a new article. RadioKAOS abused the revert tool, when he and I had a simple disagreement about how to rate an articles importance, and he suggested I should have reviewed numerous years of discussion on the related WikiProject. All of this drama, and abuse of the revert tool, over me rating an article mid importance, and he thought it should be high? I'm not sure where his intellectual arrogance comes from. I try to act the opposite. I make mistakes, but I always assume editors act in good faith. With RadioKAOS, who refuses to acknowledge any mistakes, or any other point of view, it's difficult. If he can't show any more respect than he currently does to other editors, than he needs a long timeout from Wikipedia. I don't say that lightly. Juneau Mike (talk) 00:06, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Bird or Draft:Bird Creek, Alaska[edit]

A community called Bird is mentioned in a couple articles. But all I could find was Bird Creek. Is it connected in some way with the area I added as a see also? Thanks for any insights. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:10, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Alaska Highway[edit]

Sorry about that. The usual formula has been that state projects' importance levels are normally one level lower than the road projects' importance. In that case, the road projects' importance levels were set too high, and I just adjusted the others per the usual formula. It's fine to disagree, but it would be nice if you wouldn't make comments about editors in edit summaries in the future. In short, comment about edits, not editors.

Anthony J. Hilder[edit]

Hi, thanks for your comment on the Anthony J. Hilder article's 2nd nomination for deletion. It is true what you said about the 1st nomination, just a blind following on a couple of the voters there. But, I decided to go back and look at the history and I noticed something strange. Seems to a hibernation of some at a similar time. And one banned for dual ID. If that was the case then it's really sad. Just tiresome. Thanks again Karl Twist (talk) 11:51, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

• Hi again, Just some info on Hilder. Radio KPFK in 1967. Pretty right-wing, but oh well. That aside, there would have been some heavy topics discussed. Interesting. See Pages 1, 9, 18, 25 and 31 Karl Twist (talk) 10:35, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Eileen MacLean[edit]

Hi-I started an article concerning Eileen MacLean who served in the Alaska Legislature. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 12:01, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Comment[edit]

Many thanks for your comment about the Alaska State Legislators; there was an article about Tara Sweeney that was posted in the DYK section. Tara Sweeney is from Alaska and is serving in the Interior Department concerning the Native Americans. Her mother was Eileen MacLean who served in the Alaska Legislature. An article concerning Eillen MacLean was needed and I started the article. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 16:37, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

WrestleMania IV GA review[edit]

Hello, I see that you have commented on the GA review for WrestleMania IV and it's clear that you have knowledge on the subject matter. Would you be able to help me out? I don't have any knowledge whatsoever on the subject and it would be great if someone helped me out! I've started the GA review as the person who nominated it helped me out by reviewing and article I submitted myself. I still want to keep my end of the bargain, but I'm finding it a bit hard to review it. What do you say? Thanks, Nehme1499 (talk) 15:21, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Comment[edit]

Thank you for your comment. I do skimmed through the DYK articles and make edits as need be. I would start articles to supplement information mentioned in the DYK articles. The Eileen MacLean article was started; Eileen MacLean was an Alaska state legislator and therefore was notable. I also have started articles about unincorporated communities involving notable people were born and lived in the communities. As for the Tara Sweeney article; her mother Eileen MacLean was mentioned and I thought an article was needed. The Eileen MacLean article was not a coatrack article. I would encouraged you to express your concerns about the DYK articles to the DYK talk page. If you feel the DYK section needs to be revised or discontinued then please express your concerns and comments to the DYK page. Thank you-RFD (talk) 10:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
