[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Engraved (band)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not 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 [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (music)|notability guideline for musical topics]].
 
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Engraved (band)|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:Engraved (band)|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the article or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-band-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <b><font color="darkorange">[[User:Tnxman307|TN]]</font>‑<fontspan colorstyle="midnightbluecolor:darkorange;">TN<big/span>]]‑[[User talk:Tnxman307|X]]</bigspan style="color:midnightblue; font-size:larger;">X</fontspan>]]-<font color="red">[[Special:Contributions/Tnxman307|<span style="color:red;">Man]]</fontspan>]]</b> 18:44, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:North Jersey Media Group]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
* It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information.
*It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.''), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]].
 
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:North Jersey Media Group|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 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:List of policies|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 [[WP:RFUD|here]]. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<span style="color:darkgreen;">日本穣</span>]] · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<span style="color:blue;">投稿</span>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]] · [[WP:JA|<span style="color:maroon;">Join WP Japan</span>]]!</small> 18:20, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Seeing as you live in New Jersey, I do not know how much you follow sports, but I just have to ask. Are you bitter about the Nets leaving New Jersey for Brooklyn in 2012?—Bde1982 17:32, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
:{{u|Bde1982}}, I'm actually more resentful of the Nets leaving both [[Teaneck, New Jersey]] and [[Uniondale, New York]]. What are you referring to? [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn#top|talk]]) 17:35, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
::I am referring to the Nets leaving New Jersey entirely. The Nets played their final two seasons at Prudential Center in Newark before they relocated to Brooklyn in 2012. If I was a Nets fan, I would be angry about the team leaving New Jersey.—Bde1982 18:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
::Also, during their time as the New Jersey Nets, they had a better color scheme: red, white and blue. I can do more with those colors than I can with just black and white.—Bde1982 11:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2016|>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<]]
 
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2016|July Drive]]''': The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove '''April, May, and June 2015''' from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added '''July 2015''' (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever.
 
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/August 2016|August Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was '''sports-related articles''' in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/August_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all editors who took part.
 
Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdlsk}}.

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists.
 
The ''WikiArte'' (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.
 
Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio.
 
The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]].
 
All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

==Seton Hall Prep==
Good afternoon,
 
Recently you changed some information on the seton hall prep page about the cross country team. You stated that the link did not make any mention of the team although it does. It states that Millburn highschool won the title along with shp. Thank you for your time. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Deportivo2016|Deportivo2016]] ([[User talk:Deportivo2016#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Deportivo2016|contribs]]) 03:42, 19 October 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists.
 
The ''WikiArte'' (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.
 
Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio.
 
The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]].
 
All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

Greetings, all!
 
We would like to announce the start of the 4th [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|'''GA Cup''']], a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of [[WP:GAN|Good article nominations]]! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time.
 
The 4th GA Cup will begin on '''November 1, 2016'''. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring.
 
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/Sign-up|Sign-ups]] for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now!
 
If you have any questions, take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/FAQ|FAQ page]] and/or contact one of the judges.
 
Cheers from {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to [[User:Krishna Chaitanya Velaga|Krishna Chaitanya Velaga]] for aiding in getting this message out.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Editors are invited to view the exhibition <big>[https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/tales-of-our-time Tales of Our Time]</big> following the event.
 
The Guggenheim aims to raise awareness of the artists featured in the Tales of Our Time exhibition supported by The Robert H. N.

== better coverage of Union County Parks and nature ==
 
Hi Alan- any thoughts on best way to corral info on Union County Parks and historic sites? Unlike, say, Essex and Morris, it is very hard to find all such info on here. There is an organization called Friends of Rahway River Parkway that is working to gather information for public- is wikipedia useful for that? [[User:Oldyorkey|Oldyorkey]] ([[User talk:Oldyorkey|talk]]) 13:42, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
*{{u|Oldyorkey}}, do you realize that your old Oldyorke account has been blocked and do you understand why? I'd like to help -- and I have -- but there are policies about copyrights that must be observed. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn#top|talk]]) 19:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 
== Cranford, New Jersey ==
 
You are rather critical of the removal at [[Cranford, New Jersey]] as block evasion. In fact Oldyorke was blocked for repeated copyright violations (see: [[User talk:Oldyorke]]) but [[User:Oldyorkey]] continued with that. And then there was [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Oldyorke]] confirming the sock and the block evasion. <span style="border:1px solid green; padding:0 2px">[[User:The Banner|<span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The&nbsp;Banner</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:The Banner|<i style="color:maroon">talk</i>]]</span> 17:24, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
:{{u|The Banner}}, Oldyorke / Oldyorkey is an editor who is trying to improve articles who doesn't understand copyright policy. Anal retentive admins abusing their authority to impose blocks certainly doesn't solve a problem; it just gets rid of a potentially productive editor. The failure of multiple admins to understand this is a big part of Wikipedia's failure to bring in new editors. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn#top|talk]]) 17:28, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
::Nasty remarks towards admins and towards me do not show a positive attitude in the best interest of the encyclopaedia, but a battleground mentality. Protecting guys with copyvio is a dangerous hobby. <span style="border:1px solid green; padding:0 2px">[[User:The Banner|<span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The&nbsp;Banner</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:The Banner|<i style="color:maroon">talk</i>]]</span> 20:34, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
:::{{u|The Banner}}, again, and as you seem to refuse to understand, Oldyorke / Oldyorkey is an editor who is trying to improve articles who doesn't understand copyright policy. It is anal retentive rule pushers who don't understand or pay attention to circumstances who are destroying Wikipedia. You have made more than 60,000 edits and have been unable and unwilling to comply with Wikipedia policy, but you've decided that an editor with 250-300 total edits, with no understanding of Wikipedia policy, is a puppetmaster whose sourced edits needed to be destroyed. If you don't like the characterization of your disruption, I really don't care. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn#top|talk]]) 20:40, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
::::You do not seem to understand that fiddling around and protecting copyvio can have serious consequences for ''your'' editing rights. And a [[WP:BATTLEFIELD]]-mentality is certainly not helpful. To make is clear: this is a friendly warning. <span style="border:1px solid green; padding:0 2px">[[User:The Banner|<span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The&nbsp;Banner</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:The Banner|<i style="color:maroon">talk</i>]]</span> 20:45, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::{{u|The Banner}}, cut out the smarmy patronizing attitude. While I've been trying to correct these edits and educate the editor in proper Wikipedia policy, reaching out to the editor's talk page to provide helpful information, you've created a battleground where you're the judge, jury and executioner. If you are unable to help, find another hobby. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn#top|talk]]) 20:49, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::Sleep well, mr. Alansohn, hope you have soon another hobby after being blocked. You are working yourself to the exit.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful!
 
{{center|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/December 2016|>>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<<]]}}
 
'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': Nominations are open for '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Coordinators/2017/1|election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017]]'''. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating!
 
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/September 2016|September Drive]]''': The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove '''July through October 2015''' from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words).
 
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Blitzes/October 2016|October Blitz]]''': this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was '''[[WP:GOCER|Requests]]''', since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Blitzes/October_2016/Barnstars|here]]. Thanks to all editors who took part.
 
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/November 2016|November Drive]]''': The November drive was a '''record-breaker!''' We set out to remove '''September through December 2015''' from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! '''We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles''', even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from '''over 800 articles'''. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page.
 
'''Housekeeping note:''' we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Ombox|the GOCE's message box]]''' to your Watchlist.
 
Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: {{noping|Jonesey95}}, {{noping|Corinne}} and {{noping|Tdslk}}.

:::::Okay so there's a bug with IABot, that seems to be truncating the URL for some reason. I have filters and validations in place to help clean the URL up and filter out invalid characters. It might be catching something it shouldn't. This let's the user conveniently, sloppily copy and paste an entire URL with bits and pieces of the surrounding stuff into the form and it extracts the URL.—[[User:C678|<sup style="color:green;font-family:Courier">cyber<span style="color:red">power]]<small><sub style="margin-left:-13.5ex;color:red;font-family:Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:C678|<span style="color:red">Merry Christmas]]:Unknown</sub></small> 04:22, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::{{u|Cyberpower678}}, I looked at the link I typed in and the one you reported back.

::::::::It probably it is, and it should be a straightforward fix since it uses [[Regex]] to validate. I saw the other URL you just reported, and it looks like the bot is blacklisted from that site. Whenever a URL with the response "NO RESPONSE FROM SERVER" gets reported, it likely means it's because Labs has been blacklisted for that site. I'm working on developing workarounds for that.

== WikiCup December newsletter: WikiCup 2017 ==
 
On 1 January 2017, WikiCup 2017 (the 10th Annual WikiCup) will begin. This year we are trying something a little different – ''monetary prizes''.
 
For the WC2017 the prizes will be as follows (amounts are based in US$ and will be awarded in the form of an online Amazon gift certificate):
*''First place'' – $200
*''Second & Third place'' – $50 each
*''Category prizes'' – $25 per category (which will be limited to FA, FL, FP, GA, and DYK for 2017). Winning a category prize does not require making it to the final round.
 
<small>Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address.</small>
After two years as a WikiCup judge, [[user:Figureskatingfan|Figureskatingfan]] is stepping down. We thank her for her contributions as a WikiCup judge. We are pleased to announce that our newest judge is two-time WikiCup champion [[user:Cwmhiraeth|Cwmhiraeth]].
 
The judges for the 2017 WikiCup are {{User4|Godot13}}, {{user|Cwmhiraeth}}, and {{User4|Sturmvogel 66}}.
 
Signups are open now and will remain open until 5 February 2017. You can sign up '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2017 signups|here]]'''.

Nice add to this article. [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 23:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
:{{u|Beyond My Ken}}, and a nice article creation on your part. Just fortunate that I'm familiar with the historic sources available on this side of the Hudson. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn#top|talk]]) 00:10, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks. I just happened to be in that area some months ago and took pictures of the church. When I saw it was on the NRHP but didn't have an article, I thought, "Why not?". [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 01:11, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
May I impose on our long-standing - albeit acrimonious -- relationship to ask you a question? (If not, please feer free to ignore it.) What is the explanation for the many multiple Bergen County NRHP listings being related to the Ackerman, Ackerson/Eckerson, Banta, Berdan, Blackledge, Blanch, Blauvelt, Bogert, Brinkerhoff, Cadmus, Cooper, Debaun, Demarest, Durie, Haring, Huyler, Hopper, Lydecker, Terhune, Van Houten, Van Winkle, Vandelinda, Vanderbeck, Westervelt, Wortendyke and Zabriske families. It almost seems like at some point they were the only residents of the county, presumably on large farms. Is that the case, to your knowledge? [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 06:07, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
*While Bergen County is the state's most-populous county today, with 900,000 residents, there were only 12,000 residents back at the first U.S. census in 1790. The early Dutch and English settlers in northeastern New Jersey prospered and their families grew with them. You see many of these same names not only on houses, but even on street signs and in names of politicians. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn#top|talk]]) 18:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

This material has been repeatedly removed from this article and the article has in the past been protected because of the repeated addition of this material. It simply does not meet the requirements for listing in a notable alumni section. A notable group or TV show is not an alumnus. The explanation for rejecting this material has been explained on the article's talk page. Your justification of [[WP:PRESERVE]] has absolutely no validity. [[User:Meters|Meters]] ([[User talk:Meters|talk]]) 22:03, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
:{{u|Meters}}, [[WP:PRESERVE]] is policy. Your claim that groups can;t be listed is just that; a claim. I've dealt with that claim on the talk page and the onus is on you to demonstrate that encyclopedic content about a group of alumni should be removed simply because you feel it shouldn't be in the article.
