[edit]

Hello, Patapsco913,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Isaac Hager should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at [1].

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

GCatholic.org is an nonprofit organization the provides comprehensive information about the Catholic Church[2][3][4] via its online database of bishops and dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Catholic Churches. The website is not officially sanctioned by the Church. It is run as a private project by Gabriel Chow, journalist for Salt + Light Television, in Toronto. It also provides information about the performance of the Catholic Church itself in different countries and territories and provides biographical information on current and former bishops of each diocese, such as dates of birth, ordination, and (where applicable) death. When created, the site name was Giga-Catholic Information due to the fact that there are around 1 billion Catholics in the world (billion = giga).[5] It is used as a source for information on Catholic bishops and diocese, current and historical, by various news organizations[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and authors.

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cancer alley. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bon courage (talk) 14:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have escalated the edit war. Any more of this and I will report you to WP:AN3 with a request that you be blocked. This material is improper and have have consensus for it. Bon courage (talk) 16:55, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Actually you have escalated it. I added some information. You made a bold edit and I reverted; and posted on the talk page. You were then supposed to follow protocol and rspond on the talk page and not revert in order to have a civil dialogue. Why not leave the info the page so others may chime in? How can leaving the info in the article harm anything? 18:16, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
WP:BRD is a general protocol and WP:ONUS is policy. So don't try and WP:WL your way out of it. Bon courage (talk) 18:19, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My point exactly. I added info. You reverted. I reverted and posted on the talk page why; and then you reverted and immediately accused me of edit warring. You seem to be the wikilawyer. Why not just discuss your point rather than using Ad Hominems? Now you are editing everything about environmental racism out of the article. Patapsco913 (talk) 18:25, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's BRD, not BRDR. You have now, in the face of objection (i.e. without consensus) added this table four times to the article and are at 3RR. As ONUS states, the requirement to achieve consensus is on the editor who wants to INCLUDE disputed material. You have been warned. If you want more eyes on this matter I suggest you post a query to WT:MED or WP:NORN. Bon courage (talk) 18:29, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have not added it 4 times; and you have not obtained consensus to remove it. I added it weeks ago and you quietly removed it (rather than revert). I added it recently in a different format and you reverted it. I posted to discuss and then you removed it again rather than discuss. Now you are remving info on environmental racism. You turned this into an argument. This could have been resolved with a simple discussion.18:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
This is rubbish. If you continue to edit war you will probably be blocked, it's that simple. Bon courage (talk) 18:42, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes to article about a planned community

[edit]

Hi Patapsco913, I'd like to talk about your changes to Cinco Ranch, Texas. Cinco Ranch is a planned community but the changes re-introduced an error by conflating it with the CDP of the same name. The Cinco Ranch CDP is about half of the community—visually you can compare the map of the community and map of the CDP. The change removed half a sentence that clarified the distinction between the community and the CDP, and inserted 2020 demographics for only the CDP. The CDP isn't a good reflection of the greater community—most of Cinco Ranch is in Fort Bend County, which is one of the fastest-growing counties in the US and regularly listed the most ethnically diverse in the US, and a smaller part is in Harris County which is similarly diverse, growing, and changing.

There is a way to get demographic information, if racial composition is important for the article, but it is a bit of work and might be considered original research. To do it, you need to identify all the census block groups in both counties for the community, download the data for each, and then combine the data from all of them. I started down this path, then stopped when I thought it was original research and when I realized I could only get ACS 5-Year Estimates for census data at the tract level, and actually needed the more-granular block groups.

I actually reached out to Buaidh last month for guidance about this because fundamentally this is a question about maintaining something Rambot did decades ago, and how to address it now in cases like this where CDP is no longer a meaningful unit for a community that was being planned and developed back then. Here's my question to Buaidh and here's the response.

Hello I really should've left a note about the CDP versus community on the article's Talk page! Wikipedian-in-Waiting (talk) 18:41, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I could create a separate page for the CDP but the name on this page needs to be changed to something like Cinco Ranch (planned community). The map in the header is also incorrect; and the list of CDPs for Texas and template for the CDP link to this page. Be forewarned though that this page will likely be merged again as there are a number of irascible hyper editors who do not like pages such as this (with separate pages for the CDP and the entity...happens a lot with military bases, schools, and planned communities). Is the FIPS code and GNIS ID correct? Probably better to note the discrepancy in the demographics and move the census derived information down out of the top header? Not sure where the map is from you linked. Do you have a legitimate source that we can add? Patapsco913 (talk) 19:29, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If every CDP has its own wiki article, then yes I guess a new article should be created for the CDP. Currently, Cinco Ranch, Texas is about the planned community of Cinco Ranch and has been since 2005, when a Cinco Ranch (Houston) article that was moved to the Cinco Ranch, Texas stub. The stub was holding information about the CDP to get the article started, but since 20 years ago it's been about the community not the census. If you create the new wiki article for the CDP, you can move the map in the header as well because yes, it's not correct.
You make an interesting observation, that this is an issue with articles about several types of communities like military bases and other planned communities. Putting data about only part of a community is incorrect. I like your suggestion to create a new article and remove the CDP census data from this one. I think that works like this:
1. Roll back your changes so that the Demographics section again says this: 'Cinco Ranch first appeared as a census designated place (CDP) in the 2000 U.S. Census, which covers a total area of about 4.9 square miles. However, the Cinco Ranch planned community is now complete at 8,092 acres (12.64 square miles) and 15,098 homes so data specific to the CDP no longer reflects the entire community. The area to the far west of Houston continues to grow and diversify.'
2. Remove the CDP map in the header.
3. Check the FIPS code and GNIS ID as you mentioned, and correct them if they are not for the community.
4. Create a new article named 'Cinco Ranch (CDP)' or similar. In that new article, put the CDP map, the FIPS code and GNIS ID as appropriate, and the 2020 census data of race and ethnicity. If the new article looks a little too stubby, you could also add other information that the census collects for each CDP such as education, housing, education, transportation, employment status and industry.
5. On the community article, I could link to the CDP article to make sure if a reader was looking for the CDP they find it.
6. I will add a note on the article's Talk page about the two articles, so that other editors will know about the issue and the two articles.

(missed one..!)
4.5 Redirect the links on list of CDPs for Texas from the community article to the new CDP article, and remove the CDP template from the community article.
Wikipedian-in-Waiting (talk) 20:16, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are overthinking this. It is probably better to just explain what is happening in the body of the article: "The census defines the area as a CDP but the community has since grown...." The background info you are adding about the area will just be duplicated at the Cinco Ranch CDP article since it is about the community...not just the census stats; and you need reliable sources for both the map and the area which I do not see (was the area 4.9 sq miles in 2000?). The census is constantly adjusting the areas of CDPs according local custom so you are probably ahead of the game. Better to be creative and incorporate them together. Patapsco913 (talk) 20:34, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So, originally it did explain how the CDP is only about half of the community. That's why it's important to undo the changes. The expansion of the community happened in phases (since it is a planned community) and that expansion is outlined in the History section of the article. The References give citations to the Cinco Ranch I and II websites, which have maps, but you can find maps of the community in multiple places including many of the websites cited in the Government and Infrastructure section.
I just peeked over there, and I think you moved it to Geography? The Geography section needs to discuss its unique geographical, geological, climate, etc., elements, like the Buffalo Bayou and its channels that flow through the community, the prairie grassland, native animals and birds, things like that, not census data. But I wasn't going to do the Geography until I finished Government and Infrastructure since some of infrastructure is addressing geography....
I've been working pretty hard to get this article correct and complete, and was planning on not updating the introduction and info panel until the end. However, I can see that's caused confusion and I don't see a way to discuss half the racial makeup of a community, or even why that would be critical for this article when an article created just for the CDP information is something that we could do. I'm happy to do steps 1–6 if you'd prefer to not do it yourself. I just assumed your interest was in census data of race and ethnicity for US CDPs, so I assumed you'd prefer to take that on yourself?
Wikipedian-in-Waiting (talk) 21:02, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Wikipedian-in-Waiting: Cool, let's move to the talk page for Cinco Ranch rather than here.

Former CDPs

[edit]

When a census-designated place is eliminated, like Gerber-Las Flores, California, should the article be kept? Also, what should we do with the politics section: "In the state legislature Gerber-Las Flores is in the 4th Senate District, represented by Republican Doug LaMalfa, and in the 2nd Assembly District, represented by Republican Jim Nielsen."

I found one that was deleted at AFD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vine Hill-Pacheco, California (2nd nomination). 209.178.201.90 (talk) 21:11, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@209.178.201.90: I generally leave them alone. Others have strong opinions going both ways. There is history to all CDPs and the census generally designates them on the basis of being identified as a community with some amenities (stores, post office...etc) although the more recent batches are more questionable. The info can be used to add to the successor articles so if it gets deleted, the data is lost. Patapsco913 (talk) 21:23, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'll leave them. For the politics section, I'll update to the current legislative districts that cover that area. 209.178.201.90 (talk) 21:26, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Orange County California

[edit]

I saw that you did a few edits to Orange County California. I have some time and wanted to clean it up. I started by working on the Demographics section. I took out the 1980-1990 Census data from the race table as that looks to be pretty dated. I pulled numbers from the 2020 Census P1 and P2 table for some narrative outside of the tables. Was there anything I should pass over to you to own? Chrispounds (talk) 22:11, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Chrispounds, Looks good although I would leave the 1980 and 1990 data in the table since it shows the progression of the ethnic makeup of the county by numbers and %. Several other editors are adding the 1980-2020 tables to various cities and counties. Also please keep the same format (left to right): the format took a while to get a consensus on; hopefully we should be able to automate by the 2030 census. Patapsco913 (talk) 22:38, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are 3000 counties in the US. I wonder if we could agree on a consistent set of demographic information for most of them, and then generate it by a script? FakeHouses (talk) 00:38, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FakeHouses Chrispounds That would be great. I use mail merge from excel to word to set up the standard 3 or 5 year racial/ethnic data but I still have to manually copy from the census page. There is a lot of useful info that we can use regarding all sorts of stats. I like the tables since it shows progression over time. CDo you know how to pull data from the raw census data?Patapsco913 (talk) 01:25, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will undo my edits to the table and put the columns back in, although stylistically I would prefer the table to be smaller and then show the shift in ethnic percentage with a stacked bar chart with 5 columns for 1980-2020. If we want to get fancier with a Demographics of Orange County page, I certainly would be in favor of helping there and building that out after getting more work done on the Main OC page.
For the demographics, is there a template or a model page we might aspire to? Demographics of Los Angeles County is okay but only covers ACS 2023 and 2000 Census.
I do know how to pull raw census data and believe I even cited it correctly. It has been 15+ years since I made a table from scratch here so if you can throw me a crutch or pointers, I would appreciate it. Chrispounds (talk) 16:01, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chrispounds I believe we can get all the same data for the 2020 census, except the income data. FakeHouses (talk) 19:56, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! I'll see if I can get the breakdown of Hispanic and Asian populations written in the next week. I did see that the reference to the Virginia Census archive is now dead. Should we point folks to https://usa.ipums.org/usa/index.shtml instead? Looks like they have the US Census Archive now. Chrispounds (talk) 21:15, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chrispounds I'm not aware of either of those websites; I've been using the US Census Bureau API, along the lines of
https://api.census.gov/data/{year}/{data_type}/{data_set}?get={variable_codes}&for=place:{geocode}&in=state:{state_geocode}&key={api_key}
and citing URLs such as
https://data.census.gov/table/DECENNIALDP2020.DP1?g=1600000US0669000
If you know how to get direct links to data via IPUMS, then why not? FakeHouses (talk) 21:58, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that is nifty! Thanks for sharing.
The Virginia Census archive was pulling up a error in the references a few version back. The IPUMS data is for the deep archival stuff--the Census does not have pre 1950 data see https://www.census.gov/about/history.html under Availability of Census records at the bottom. IPUMS does not look to offer direct data like the census, but I just needed the total county size by year from 1890 - present which was relatively easy to pull. I'm not sure I am going to pull that much census data beyond what Orange County needs, so I'm going let the API's have a REST for now. I can see how industrial extraction and URL citation would be SO MUCH BETTER this way. When we make the Demographics of the OC page, I will jump in. Chrispounds (talk) 22:39, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you go to Palm Beach County#Demographics, there is a lot of references there. Not too keen on the presentation though. Patapsco913 (talk) 23:06, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chrispounds and FakeHouses. I am going to move this discussion to Wikiproject:Census. Some other people may have input. Patapsco913 (talk) 23:13, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a bit silly...

[edit]

Caribou, California. "As of the 2020 United States Census, the only person living there is a 5 to 9 years old boy." I doubt that's true. That's up from a population of zero in 2010 and zero in 2000. What should we do with this article, delete it maybe? FakeHouses (talk) 03:51, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

According to the 2020 census, there is one, unoccupied, housing unit. However I looked it up on Google Maps and it's the location of "PG&E Caribou Camp". It seems to be company housing. It is next to a PG&E dam and powerhouse. Does that count as a populated place? FakeHouses (talk) 03:59, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the census still treats it as such. It looks relatively old. Perhaps people live there for stints where they are not listing Caribou as their permanent residence. Or there is a historical reason for including it. Caribou looks as if it is where workers at the power plant live but likely not long enough to claim it as their residence. The Census seems to have a good number of CDPs that are quite small in population. They are supposed to be communities with some charecteristics of being town-like (common identity of its residents, general store, school...etc). We might run into problems if we start deleting CDPs that the census keeps alive for some reason or another. Usually they flip to being ghost towns rather than disappear.

  • Researching historical women writers who used pseudonyms requires careful investigation across multiple sources, as many women adopted pen names to avoid gender bias and judgment (e.g., being labeled a bluestocking) and, ultimately, to get published.

East Marianna, Pennsylvania

[edit]

Hi, I noticed you created this article today. Is this really a separate town from Marianna, Pennsylvania? Looking at the map, the addresses of the buildings in "East Marianna" all appear to be in the town of Marianna (e.g., the Marianna Community Public Library is in "East Marianna"). Just because it was designated a CDP doesn't mean we should necessarily have a separate article about it (see particularly WP:GEOLAND on this). The census only releatively recently created a CDP here, and they sometimes do this for reasons of their own, that have nothing to do with there being a "new" town/city/village there. It may be more appropriate to merge this article to Marianna, Pennsylvania. FOARP (talk) 14:44, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello User:FOARP. True, I occassionally see discussion over including CDPs as separate pages on wikipedia although usually those with very small populations. The US Census defines CDPS as "a statistical geography representing closely settled, unincorporated communities that are locally recognized and identified by name" so I generally default to all of them being notable. They are not towns or cities (as they are unincorporated) although they are distinct communities (see https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/bas/information/cdp.html for a nice synopsis indicating why CDPs are created). It is also my understanding that they are created in conjunction with the county government so it is defined as a distinct community by the local authorities as well (generally via the decennial Participant Statistical Areas Program PSAP). In this case, East Marianna appears to be distinct from the incorporated town of Marianna as it is separated by a river and is in a valley while Marianna is on a plateau (see google maps [2]). It also seems to have been around for a while (see East Marianna, Washington County, Pennsylvania, February 1927 Penn State Digital Libraries) I generally focus on racial and ethnic demographics of communities with several counterparts adding other census information. The plan is to automate this more for the 2030 census. At the moment, I cannot add population data since the census website is closed. I can flesh it out once the government opens.Patapsco913 (talk) 15:32, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
