Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

The article is intended to be a in-depth article to the heading page. This was done for other articles such as all the calendar months for 1913 and previous years leading all the way back to 1901.

I can't thank you enough for completing the rest of the Category: Months in the 1900s articles for 1913, following the same spirit of putting in citations for everything. I got as far as October 1913 and had to abandon the rest of it a year ago because of a massive work project. I had been working on November 1913 ( User:Mandsford/1906) and three others (October 1943, October 1950, and October 1963) at the time.
Quick question-- in the rest of these, we had been using past tense to refer to the events, rather than present tense. My rationale on this has always been that present tense is used in newspaper headlines, and sometimes in sections of history books ("Man Lands on the Moon") but that the past tense is used in the narrative that follows the news ("At 10:56 pm on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon after Apollo 11 landed.") Would you object if I were to quietly revise the articles to past tense, in order to be consistent with the rest of the project?
If you do have objections, then I respect your decision, because you've done all the work. My hope, however, is that there would eventually be a WikiBook for the articles about the years 1910-1919, and for 1960-1969, as well as other decades as they get completed. User:Deb had made great strides in getting the framework for 1962, 1963 and 1964 started (and had also made an important change in the presentation of births and deaths within the sections for each day, rather than at the end of the page). She found it easier to write those in the present tense; As I got to each of those articles to give them the citations and documentation, these were changed to past tense. I hope that you'll give me the okay to do the rewording for the sake of consistency. If you say no, then, as I say, I'll respect that and will keep hands off. Regardless of what your decision is, though, thank you for continuing the mission of getting in something for every single day, along with the verifiable citations. Mandsford 16:26, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
One of my favorite ways of starting (again, in user space), is to glance at the front page from that day's newspaper (the Milwaukee Sentinel in 1914 was great for this because it had "summary of the news" on each page). http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=wZJMF1LD7PcC It's the next best thing to taking a time machine to 1914 and buying a newspaper for once cent. If you're reading this on Monday, August 4, check out the morning Milwaukee Journal for Tuesday, 8-4-14 http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=jvrRlaHg2sAC&dat=19140804&printsec=frontpage&hl=en While you're writing this in user space, even the most anal retentive control freak can't interfere with your work.
The next good way to get interesting content, before posting, is to go to Google Books and type in the date in the form of the phrase "on January 1, 1914"-- if you just write "January 1, 1914", you'll get way too much stuff to sort through. If you google the phrase, make sure it doesn't catch birthdays (" 'on January 1, 1914' - born" is what you would type in the searchbox, but the most reliable info is on the pages of published books. I've learned all sorts of things that way. I have some user pages that have been sitting dormant, like User:Mandsford/1909 which might someday be the article "October 1950". I haven't touched it in a long time, but none of the Wiki-busi-bodi people have either.
My suggestion is that you create an untouchable page starting with something like this User:Freeman1856/1914. I can rescue whatever content you might have started with that got deleted, if you want something to work on in spare time. Again, I appreciate your work on the project, and I'll be happy to back you up. Mandsford 02:32, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

To move the draft, go to the "Move" tab at the top right of the page in edit mode. It'll prompt you. Select "Article" from the pull down menu and retitle the article (for example, May 1914). It will ask for the reason for the move, which, in this case, is that you're moving from a draft to the mainspace. (I haven't actually looked at the articles, although I'm amazed by the amount of work you've done -- so no opinion on moving them - just answering your question.)

I continually run into this problem and still haven't got the hang of solving. I'm creating main articles of specific months for historic years, in this case 1914. When the article is ready to public viewing, I continually run into the older month article, which is usually a redirect to the 1914 landing page. I can initially solve it adding a comma between the month and year to activate the article, but obviously is doesn't link up properly with established links, such as in the header. I think the solution is to merge with a redirect but I'm still not 100% sure how to do that properly. Would someone mind walking through the steps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeman1856 ( talk • contribs) 23:15, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

I used the February 1914 list of dates to make it easier for me on an article on February 1970 (which, being 56 years after 1914, began on a Sunday and ended on a Saturday, and just wanted to say that I'm very impressed with the depth and the sourcing of your work.

It occurs to me that, perhaps, you've completed the months of the 1910s. I know you created the pages from 1914 onward, a fantastic job considering that war was a daily story 52 of those months (from August 1914 to November 1918). Since December 1919 closing the decade that started with January 1910, it's possible that that you may be working on a uniform style of those 120 articles uniform in order to create a print-on-demand Wikibook published by the Wikimedia Foundation. If that's the case, then you would have my full support. One suggestion that I would make for your project is that you might reconsider placing all birthdates or all dates of death in one sentence, which is less readable than individual entries. While that's the style in, say, the "today's almanac" section of the newspaper, it isn't the format used in necrologies or birth announcements, because the deaths and births were usually separate, unrelated events. In any event, the "months project" has been one that's been developed and patrolled by good people. I'm sincerely interested in hearing your thoughts on the project.

Display images are a tough call as well-- they're a good, eye-catching, addition to the big blank space up at the top where the table of contents box is. Over the course of time, I've learned to try to keep images on the right side of the page rather than the left so that the text isn't "squeezed". Since things in an info-box are somewhat protected from squeezing (unless the images on both sides of the box are unnecessarily large), I try to keep images at the top in a reasonable range, usually no wider than 250px or 300px, and images on the text at 100px or 150px tops. Anyway, although we disagree on the display of births and deaths (I go by the theory that they're separate events, but agree that they should be kept at a small number) I won't undo your changes along that line in the 1910s category, but hope that you'll reconsider your view. Anyway, best wishes to you for the rest of the year and the upcoming holidays, I'm going to be doing Christmas shopping and bill paying for awhile. As I've said, I think you've done a great job in researching and choosing interesting items on the articles that you've worked on, and that we agree upon more things than we disagree upon.

I'm already reverting the bizarre (and unnecessary) edits by JamesLucas-A on articles, and recommend that you do the same, as with October 1912. If we don't stand up to him now, he's eventually going to be doing this to everything else in this project. Mandsford 17:55, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello!
Please stop changing redirected links into piped links (and please do not just revert other editors who disagree with your changes, e.g. [2], [3], [4]). As explained at WP:NOTBROKEN, this is generally not useful and not wanted, and it produces unnecessary noise on the watchpages of other editors. – Tea2min ( talk) 08:33, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Alright, but I'm updating outdated links with the current articles without changing the original front wording, so if the editors wish to do it themselves, please do. It actually cleans up the articles and bit and makes them more professional, in my opinion. And I am happy to discuss it with them too.
Please do not change links to redirected article titles into piped links to the article. See WP:NOTBROKEN for why. — David Eppstein ( talk) 16:11, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Freeman1856, as others have said, please desist from this behavior. -- Trovatore ( talk) 02:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
Freeman1856, my man, please, for the love of all that is true and good, you have got to stop changing redirects into piped links to sections, as others have already said above. (Examples: this horror and another horror.) In addition to all the reasons that are listed at WP:NOTBROKEN, redirects are extremely useful for using Special:WhatLinksHere to see which pages link to a particular redirect term. Be a good wiki citizen and stop your mass annihilation of redirects! Biogeographist ( talk) 13:55, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
