"Poet of the Confederacy"[edit]

Hi Deisenbe--can you tell me what the source was for this edit? I'm finding it hard to find evidence that verifies it. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 17:10, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is it that needs verification - that he was a poet, that he supported CSA, or is that he is a Confederate, and a poet, but not a "Confederate poet"? deisenbe (talk) 23:56, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, none of those: it's the entire "Poet of the Confederacy" phrase, which in the literature is used as a kind of honorary albeit unofficial title. Like this--all the others in the category either have or can have verification for that title, which is more than the sum of its parts. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 16:15, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, I see why Category:African-American expatriates was deleted, but not why it was never populated. James Baldwin and Josephine Baker are the first two that come to mind. Drmies (talk) 16:19, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see you've taken care of it. Anyway, I have nothing to contribute on that. deisenbe (talk) 17:08, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, that is a different article, but I deduct from your answers that you did not have access to a source that claims Randolph was called "Poet of the Confederacy". Thank you. Drmies (talk) 20:17, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks--but that doesn't verify "Poet of the Confederacy", and it's not about James Innes Randolph but about Abram Joseph Ryan. Drmies (talk) 00:55, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTOR[edit]

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up. Thanks, Nemo 19:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at it today and without lookimg for anything in particular I stumbled on a 1913 article which is very interesting to me and that I didn't know of. Thanks. deisenbe (talk) 19:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Two articles[edit]

You seem to have created both Rebecca Buffum Spring and Rebecca Spring, which seem to be the same person; might you be able to resolve the duplication, which has been tagged for a merge for a while without objections? Klbrain (talk) 16:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was two different states of the same article, a mistake I've now corrected. Thanks for catching it. deisenbe (talk) 17:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Writers from al-Andalus[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:Writers from al-Andalus indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read!

Help me[edit]

Please help me with... Virginia v. John Brown has an archive-url warning in note 195 and I don't know why or how to fix it. Thank you. deisenbe (talk) 15:29, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If I had to guess, the warning was thrown because |url= and |archive-url= contained the same content, which is understandably not allowed. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 15:51, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping for more than a guess. Url and archive-url have different content. deisenbe (talk) 16:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Call it an educated guess; I changed the url parameter and the error went away. Primefac (talk) 16:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
