- Thanks Mr Robot, I fixed it. I'm not sure that should be a disambiguation page, but that's not your fault. -Kevin
Tecumseh is looking much better, thank you. I stumbled across the article wondering why (at a glance) it wasn't GA or FA; was happy to see that it's in the process of a rewrite—Keep up the good work! I do hope you end up going for GA/FA in the end. Best - Aza24 (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- I am hoping to get it Featured and on the Main Page this year. Thank you for the encouragement! Kevin1776 (talk) 08:02, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Nathanael Greene Monument GA Review
[edit]Hi, I'm the creator / GA nominator for the Nathanael Greene Monument page. Firstly, I wanted to say thanks for the GA review of the article you did a few days ago. However, I have some questions related to the process. (Excuse me if they turn out to have pretty obvious solutions, I'm still not 100% learned wrt the GA process). Namely, I don't see the page listed in Wikipedia:Good articles/Art and architecture nor do I see the green plus sign on the page itself. If there's something I've forgotten to do or anything like that, please let me know, and again, thanks for the review! Regards, -JJonahJackalope (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- I will look into this. User:Legobot seems to have skipped that article. I don't know if it's something I did incorrectly. I manually added the article to the list. If that doesn't trigger the bot I guess we have to add the icon manually. Kevin1776 (talk) 17:40, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll give the bot some time and if that doesn't work, manually adding the icon sounds good. -JJonahJackalope (talk) 18:39, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for Tecumseh, introduced: "It's been 14 years since I've submitted a Featured Article candidate, but winter and COVID conspired to bring me back. This article is, I believe, an important one. Two centuries after Tecumseh's death, he is still widely admired and studied, and places continue to honor him with new memorials. The internet is filled with old myths about Tecumseh, long since corrected in scholarly sources."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:59, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- You're welcome! Kevin1776 (talk) 21:16, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
This is to let you know that the Tecumseh article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 5, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:59, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Battle of Blue Licks "incident"
[edit]Thanks for your reply in the Admin Incident I posted. Although a long time "editor", I've never been involved in this sort of thing before! And apologies for not contacting you directly, which I see now should have been the correct procedure. I still find it a puzzling state of affairs; it was the "extra" section in the Trowbridge article ("Heroines of Bryan’s Station") and the additional primary sources there that shaped my sense of things. I have no idea what comes next, but good to have the relationship between your WP contribution and that published piece clarified. It is, indeed, a fascinating historical moment! DjR (talk) 14:21, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- No problem, I'm glad you discovered the plagiarism. I only wish they had used an article that I had worked harder on. If my work is going to get plagiarized, I want it to be some of my best stuff. Kevin1776 (talk) 00:03, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Lower Shawneetown
[edit]I noticed your recent edit on the lede of Lower Shawneetown. I have been researching Lower Shawneetown for years now, and I can say with confidence that the town was wiped out by flooding. I have never encountered any evidence that it was "abandoned to avoid colonial American raids." If you have information to the contrary, I'd like to see it. Cmacauley (talk) 05:21, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- I added it to the body of article, cited to Erminie Wheeler-Voegelin. You're citing Hale, which is outdated. Lower Shawneetown was destroyed by floods in the early 1750s, then just relocated to the other side of the Scioto, not abandoned. After the beginning of the French and Indian War, it was moved upstream. Actually, you have the correct information in the article, as cited by Croghan. Kevin1776 (talk) 05:27, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
As a major editor of the article this may be of interest. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:57, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

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}}

I need support from other Wikipedian.
[edit]Religious affiliations of presidents of the United States needs help.
I am new as a Wikipedian and can embarrass myself. Not really having tried to edit a topic yet. Remember this as you evaluate my example of improvement. Two or three rejection I can deal with though I dislike.
In one Biblical Church the saved were called Christian. The meaning of Christian inhabits that of meaning Christianity as if it were member being in the Church within their church building. Unless other than the nature of things "Christian" has a general meaning most read and most accept as common. When referring to the occupation of the title existing along side the title President ( and here in this article many different title are used side by side which bothers me as to it's truthfulness ) as either occupied or not there is a better word to be used than Christian. When a title in a persons past life explains past and present ( and may be explains future ) circumstance a person commits to being this. Any person can commit even when that person is smaller than any title offered and has no title. A person commits to a title making a person committed to and carrying out all work associated with this title by the person accepting this title which proves the person with the title. Past present and future, the meaning is the same for as long as the title sticks when the title is kept.
I am not saying that there is no need for denoting reference to single or multiple belief, only that calling this Christian is not a correct way of having this done. "Religious affiliations of presidents of the United States" being the topic. ( "Commitments of presidents of the United States" being a better title. ) ( This is not to disgrace those who are Christian. ) In stead I am suggesting that as one choice we use the word and meaning "commitment" in place of "Christian" with it's better meaning, removing Christian as a try. "Commitment" is a larger and more enveloping meaning to what any "commit" to. ( and since Christian are protected in the United States Of America from any type of harm, mind, body, and soul, it is not only wrong to use Christian in this sense but also punishable. An example of this punishment is comparable with a member having said or done some small wrong within the large Church, catches hell outside the church. This being offensive to the person harmed is by Church decision to be refunded to the offended in the manner agreed on by both. Christian is a title only, and one people in the United States Of America take seriously. The Wikipedian who used "Christian" here has to some degree, small or large, offended the Christian. If small enough, a simple "I am sorry, I apologize" after fixing the problem, often makes things right.
An example of the finished work will look like this: 11 | James K. Polk |commitment | Protestant | Methodist | Methodist | 1845–1849 | Never baptized until on his deathbed. Formerly more or less affiliated with Presbyterian churches. He eventually received a deathbed Methodist baptism by Methodist preacher John Berry McFerrin.[24]
I question many other title word definition such as "Protestant" "Methodist" and "Methodist" ( from the example I gave ) only will leave this for a future date when with help I can start to correct any mistake. At the moment the title "Christian" with it's use bothers me. I respect our President. Leroy 11-28-1952 (talk) 03:50, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Pontiac's Burial Place
[edit]Kevin, I think you'll find the comment I made yesterday on Talk:Pontiac (Odawa leader) interesting. I no longer live in St. Louis (I live in Oregon), or I could go to the Old Courthouse library and try to track down the reference for the excerpt of the letter I cited. Also, the plaque on the parking garage referred to as denoting Pontiac's burial site is at the southeast corner of Broadway and Walnut Street. Frank Prchal (talk) 18:39, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
