Thomas Clarke Rye

Hi, I saw you were one of the people who had edited the article Thomas Clark Rye. I changed his middle name in the article to Clarke because that's how Tennessee Encyclopedia spells the name. NGA also has a profile by that name and Find A Grave as well. I hope to get the spelling to somebody's attention so that the article could be transferred to its proper place. 128.214.205.5 (talk) 11:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Robert Young Hayne edit

I didn't notice that he actually changed parties. If the correct party is the old name for another organization, then you can redirect it to that party, so we don't have a blank. If it is not, then feel free to create the page. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 19:58, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Jacksonian Republican linked to the Democratic-Republican Party, so that seemed to do the trick. There's no Wiki color code for that party designation (nor for Jacksonian), however. DJ Jones74 (talk) 00:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

She forwarded to me a scan of the information. I cannot place a scan of this file on Wikipedia. The reason I contacted her to obtain the information was because there was no online reference to the date of this occurrence. I explicitly informed the city manager I needed the information to place on the Wikipedia page.

Agua Raiz

At Agua Raiz you wrote:

"It was the 3rd largest community recorded (2nd largest native village behind Arenal) in Arizona County (Tucson being the largest). Because census takers in 1860 and the specials prior to that failed to denote the precise location of the specific Pima villages on maps, it is unclear their exact locations today."

You cite page 140 from this source. Could you please explain where on that page you found that? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:23, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

This document you are citing is an unreviewed academic paper commissioned by the tribe. It fails WP:RS because it is unreviewed (if it were published in a respected academic journal we could use it), and it fails WP:INDY because it is commissioned. Magnolia677. John from Idegon (talk) 18:01, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Nonsense. It is a well-researched article with impeccable reference notes throughout. It curiously did not seem to elicit a problem when referenced by another editor when they created pages on the Pima Villages, only "magically" when I did. This is not the first time you have unfairly and subjectively targeted my edits, the last time being in an uncivilized and sarcastic tone when I was working on Alaska places.DJ Jones74 (talk) 04:34, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Please answer my question. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:31, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

The population ranks came directly from the 1860 census reference link Table No.3, p. 3. The second sentence refers to the point that because no maps were made of the individual villages or place names, either in the 1858 and 1859 special census surveys or in the regular 1860 census for Arizona County, New Mexico, that other than for knowing the general area (along the south bank of the Gila River within the present-day Gila River Reservation), and the order with which they apparently existed (p. 166 of the document, listing villages from east to west) it is unclear exactly where they are today (although Agua Raiz and Arenal were cited for being between Sweetwater/Statonic (Stotonic) and Pima Butte).

Do you have a source supporting that "no maps were made"? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:27, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

No maps were made of the individual villages, unfortunately, as Wilson's treatise above stated. I've been scouring the internet trying to find them. They were broadly labeled -- as a group -- on maps of the period as "Pima Villages", but these were clumping the 10 Pima & Maricopa villages of the 1860 census together. You will see its location on this 1865 map: https://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~1751~180038:Official-Map-Of-The-Territory-Of-Ar?sort=Pub_List_No_InitialSort%2CPub_Date%2CPub_List_No%2CSeries_No&qvq=q:Official%2BMap%2BOf%2BThe%2BTerritory%2BOf%2BArizona;sort:Pub_List_No_InitialSort%2CPub_Date%2CPub_List_No%2CSeries_No;lc:RUMSEY~8~1&mi=4&trs=6 Zoom in to the border between then-Pima County (in pink) and Yavapai County (in green), just SE of the junction of the Gila and Salado (Salt) Rivers is the location shown near Maricopa Wells and labeled on the map of the vicinity "Maricopas and Pimas." However, this map notes that part of the Pima Villages lay on the north side of the Gila. In 1860, all of the villages were on the south. But they began to move their villages northward as required in search of water (they had been north of the Gila in the time before the 1858-59-60 census surveys, all cited in that reference material). To my knowledge in 1860, no maps were made to accompany any census materials (largely because the war was starting and they did not have the resources to spare). The Wilson treatise referenced goes into considerable detail regarding the problem with maps (and lack thereof) and the problem with trying to figure out which village was which (because non-native attempts to label them via the aforementioned census taking presented problems, along with their being moved). Add to that, census-takers in 1870 effectively wrote off the Indian population of Arizona and counted all of 31(!) living in the White settlements (whereas over 4,000, then the majority of Arizona, was counted in 1860). By 1870, as cited above, those villages were already either "on the move" or left abandoned.DJ Jones74 (talk) 07:32, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Could you please indicate on what page of the Wilson document it states that "Because census takers in 1860 and the specials prior to that failed to denote the precise location of the specific Pima villages on maps, it is unclear their exact locations today". Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:29, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

That was my encapsulation of the author's statements/conclusions on the matter, which were well researched. I did not use any direct quotes, since that might be considered unauthorized plagiarization of his work.DJ Jones74 (talk) 12:43, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

You've been here 10 years. You should know by now that no one has a "right" to add whatever they want to a Wikipedia article. If someone objects, your change stays out until consensus is reached. Is there another way? If so, I'm sure not aware of it, so please enlighten me. If not, quit being disruptive and follow WP:BRD. John from Idegon (talk) 20:17, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

12 years and 7 months, actually. If said edit deletion is frivolous, prejudicial and unhelpful in explicitly stating what exactly is wrong, I will promptly revert it... Especially so when there are 3 individuals here who seem to have a habit of ganging up on my edits when I've never engaged in retaliation against them or their work. Point being, I don't go and stomp all over your edits and hard work, so please give me the same courtesy and stop wasting my time when I'm working on numerous articles. You could've made your point privately by ASKING me to edit down the number of pics instead of removing the entire edit.

I've grown quite weary of having my well-researched and well-sourced edits being deliberately and systematically removed by a troika of individuals who have harassed, insulted and engaged in foul-mouthed attacks and thoroughly unhelpful "comments." That you back each other up in your edit wars demonstrates an abuse of power and you should be suspended if not expelled for these kinds of actions.

Arcola, Alabama

At Arcola, Alabama, you wrote "According to the returns from 1850-2010 for Alabama, it has never reported a population figure separately on the U.S. Census." I'm not quite sure what this means. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:55, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

No population figures were reported for Arcola at any point from 1850-2010 as per the 17 census references for the period as referenced to you individually yesterday. It also means in addition to no population for the village of the name, there was also no beat or precinct named for Arcola for the period (for which I report a population under demographics if there is).DJ Jones74 (talk) 23:02, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

PROPOSED TEMPLATE FOR POPULATION (COUNTY) BY RACE FOR WIKIPEDIA

Requesting any suggestions/comments for proposed "population by race" template to add to U.S. places. The following is an example for Autauga County, Alabama. I thought putting each census on such a chart with a line-by-line racial breakdown would be more helpful (or easier to follow/use) than the simple population total we have at present (historic population template), and written-out paragraphs of racial and/or other demographics. I'm not 100% satisfied with it, wondering if there should be a percentages table on it (i.e. % growth or decline per race). DJ Jones74 (talk) 07:38, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
