Wikipedia:Perennial proposals
a good guide to basic editing

I think it's a powerful statement about human nature that it's possible to set up a platform like Wikipedia and have it become a repository of knowledge rather than the kind of vitriol-spattered shambles that is so much of the user-generated Internet.

Socialism intentionally ignores a major aspect of human psychology, the urge toward ownership, and that both did so quite deliberately in the apparent conviction that such a basic component of our makeup can be ignored without serious problems. It doesn't work, especially not for the egocentric and arrogant American people.

people with all different kinds of involvement — people who create new articles, people who whip old ones into shape, copyeditors, researchers, stylists and word geeks

It is much more important that Wikipedia be inclusive, even at the fault of occasionally including information that might be considered (by some) to be "trivial", than it is to be exclusive, at the penalty of not including information that it interesting and informative. When in doubt, information should be published rather than suppressed. The general rule of thumb should be to err on the side of inclusion.

They're constrained by print-era thinking. What harm does it do if an online reference has a long tail of articles that are only interesting to a few people, so long as everyone can still find whatever they're looking for?

"You know how sometimes people will ask you what musical album you would want to have with you if stranded on a desert island? If every single Internet page but one had to be annihilated, I would choose to save Wikipedia. Sure, we're not perfect. But Wikipedia is still a largely reliable and highly inclusive effort that any encyclopedia or online project should very much envy. To me, Wikipedia represents everything good about the internet."

Due to a glitch, this is NOT the temporary talk page of User:ɱ Please see: Village Pump: Link in history says user does not exist

"The one stance I take is that I am vehemently against concepts such as notability because, in my opinion, just about anything can potentially educate and expand people's knowledge no matter how banal and trite the subject may seem for some. Even if it only helps one person learn one small iota of nonsense, it should be included."

Wikipedia is not reliable - paraphrase - I've seen this statement quoted numerous times by users. First off, if Wikipedia is not intended to be a reliable source, what are we doing here? Is this simply an interactive video game? Second, it's odd that it comes from admins who are quick to revert. The statement gives them more things to delete. I suspect for them this is an interactive video game. Third, isn't there some discretion involved here? There are many Wikipedia articles that are much more reliable than the Encyclopedia Britannica, 99.8% of the stuff on the Web, the GOP, and most of the "sources" used for other Wikipedia articles, which are held in such reverence because they are reliable (i.e., they exist). All of this is another unfortunate consequence of an organization that believes that editorial ability can be determined by a popular vote.

What world would we live in if every sentence in every article in the whole of Wikipedia had to be cited? That is preposterous and unrealistic.
Wikipedia's policies declare it unnecessary and unrealistic for every sentence in every article to have a citation.

Are we really guilty until proven innocent?

If someone publishes a work as their own, should they really need to provide hefty evidence? And where is the line of how much evidence you would need? Do you really need to have a photo of me holding a printed copy of the image? Though can't I easily forge that with photo-editing? This is ridiculous. United States courts established 'innocent until proven guilty' because it makes sense.

The Savoy Ballroom

My name is Charles J. Dorkins: I was an employee at The Savoy Ballroom, for about one year, 1946/1947. I am probably the only person who had an opportunity to observe The Savoy close up, “backstage”. 1946: Located in New York City’s Harlem, was The Savoy Ballroom, probably the largest dance hall in the world. It certainly was the most famous. When facing the “Savoy building”, looking East, from the street at Lenox Avenue and 141st Street, you would view a wide, 2-story building, 2 blocks wide, about 200 feet deep - a “slim” building. On the street level, in the center of the building, was the Savoy Ballroom entrance. On each side, there were several small business operations: a furniture store, a pool room, a small grocery store, etc. Fragile businesses. In the center of the building was be a dominating canopy: “SAVOY”. The street entrance door to the ballroom would be the width of the canopy. The small entry hall would contain the cashier, a stairway (UP) to the ballroom, and the company office. (DOWN) leading to the checkroom and the dressing rooms for musicians and dancers, staff, also my photo workroom. I don’t know where the rest rooms were. UP, led to the dance floor, spreading left and right. To the immediate left was the sales counter for souvenirs and candy, etc. To the far right wall was the company office. Straight ahead, at the wall, across the dance floor, were the 2-band stands, raised (about 2 feet), large enough to hold a full orchestra of maybe 14 members, on the left. To the right, was space to hold maybe a 6 member orchestra (the “house band”). With the small dancefloor space in front of the bandstand, most of the dancing was done - left and right of the bandstands. There was plenty of space on each side of the bandstand, extending to the outer walls. Many patrons would stand in front of the orchestras. Two bands; the music and the dancing never stopped. On each side in front of the bandstand was the dance floor, maybe about 50 feet deep, 4,000 feet square. Every week, the beautiful floor received a generous serving of wax flakes. When a full audience was vigorously dancing, all to the same beat, I was surprised that the building did not collapse. It certainly did vibrate. Audience seating and tables ringed the dance floor. A large room. When recalling the activities of The Savoy, I think that probably the most vital ingredient to the smooth operation of the dancehall, was the “security force”. This was a group of 6 to 8 tuxedoed men who kept order. They kept order in a place where freedom of action was encouraged, where free consumption of alcohol was not monitored, where flirtatious dancing was everywhere - this was the setting where these men operated. They were fearless. When a patron lost control, they quickly and silently went into action. They swiftly “escorted” the person down the stairs to the basement “for an interview”. If this meeting did not pass OK, the subject was promptly delivered to the sidewalk. Now, this action, being thrown out of an establishment, is structurally very dangerous: it sets up the return of the now, armed subject - for revenge. This drama is played out continually, everywhere. Moe Gale (Jewish), was the secret, invisible owner of the Savoy (with his Italian Mafia connections). He was also booking agent for most black musical performers in the country. He would show up one morning per week, to take care of Savoy business. He also showed up to have a meeting with Mariea. Mariea (from some Caribbean island) had been a maid in Moe’s Long Island home, and his secret sex partner. To have Mariea vacate his home, Moe made her head of concessions at The Savoy. When I got my job at The Savoy, Mariea was my boss. I was a “darkroom man”. When the lady photographer snapped a group photo in the ballroom, I was the guy in the basement swiftly making prints. I was placed there by the Mafia guy who controlled this concession, and the coat checking and at all similar situations throughout New York City. When patrons tipped a coat-check lady, they thought it was for her - but she was on salary and had to surrender all tips. After checking the finances of The Savoy, Mariea and Moe would go for their afternoon auto ride. Mariea told me all about their interesting afternoon rides. The big problem was that Mariea fell madly in love with me. The other problem was that Mariea was not young or beautiful. One day we ended up in a room in the Theresa Hotel. The Theresa Hotel was the only modern hotel in Harlem - the only modern hotel in New York where Negroes could obtain occupancy. If Mariea and I had been discovered in the hotel, there would have been “serious consequences”. Everyone in New York was made to believe that the owner of The Savoy was Charles Buchanan. But Buchanan was only a “front man”. Buchanan had been a liquor salesman, to neighborhood bars and stores. These kinds of “nice looking guys” were used extensively in the Harlem community. A few of my close buddies were in this club. As “manager” of The Savoy, Buchanan simply had a new job. In the 1940s the Savoy had a contract to supply “Lindy Hop” dancers annually, to “The Harvest Moon Ball”, The New York Daily News newspaper’s annual dance contest, in Madison Square Garden. The problem was that the patrons of the Savoy were no longer interested in doing “The Lindy Hop”. Many patrons of The Savoy also loved to do “ballroom dancing”, waltzing, Mambo - and “Bee-bop”. Now, some of the dancehall dancers were surrounded by crowds applauding these new steps. The music created the dance. The music had changed, but the business guys hadn’t. Moe was very happy with his Daily News contract - so, The Savoy created the “Lindy Hoppers” - trained them - dressed them - paid them. - for the pseudo contests. The neighborhood dancers had become a professional dance group, touring the world. At the time I was at The Savoy, I was headed for my life’s career as a movie maker. I could easily see that the social and dance events that happened in The Savoy were a fabulous source for historical film. I have written a Broadway play, based on some of the events I witnessed. Mura Dehn, a lady of Russian origin, discovered Harlem, and The Savoy - and it changed her life. Mura came from previously performing at the famed Folies Bergé´, of Paris. Mura, in her determination to capture the clever Savoy dancers on film, convinced her friend, a successful magazine fashion photographer, to come to the Savoy and film the dancers. Neither Mura, or her friend had any experience making movies, but they did have funds to buy film and rent cameras. The results of their filming displayed their crude technical expertise. But, they did do more than anybody else had done. It was really an ironic accident that I had met Mura through other social channels. When she discovered that I knew filmmaking, she eagerly sought my cooperation and friendship. But, I had a very difficult technical effort dealing with Mura’s input in the project. Mura had a European’s concept with the whole package. It was maddening, dealing with her effort to combine the wrong music with the wrong dancing. Eventually, I had to abandon her, or should I say, she discarded me. I had co-signed her request for funds to complete her dance film, but when she got the money, she ignored me. She ended up placing rented film editing equipment in her apartment, then spending day and night working on her project. She made a partnership with a Chinese couple, to continue her work. I ended my employment at The Savoy, one terrible blizzard night, when the City of New York ordered all autos off the street! After work, in the wee hours of the morning, I left Manhattan, headed for Pittsburgh. December 27, 1947

Hello, I will shortly be using this account to suggest changes to articles related to Interactive Brokers. I'm aware that there are guidelines about editing pages if there is a potential conflict of interest, so I would like to disclose here that these contributions are made on behalf of Interactive Brokers and in consultation with them, and I intend to follow all of Wikipedia's guidelines, including those on WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:V and WP:NPOV, very closely. My aim is to work with and seek advice from impartial editors to make positive contributions to the Interactive Brokers and Thomas Peterffy articles, hopefully leading to much improved articles. On any pages where I look for assistance, I will be sure to disclose my relationship to Interactive Brokers in the interests of transparency. If you would like to help me, please let me know.

“ ...I sure as hell don't look to administrators as leaders. Rather the reverse. 'Editor' is by far the best, highest title on this project. EVERY other classification of rights here results in the people having those rights doing work in support of editors and/or the project. They are not leaders. They do not formulate policy, editors do. They do not chart strategy, editors (and/or Foundation) do. Editors rule this project. Everything else is a voluntary demotion into more work in support of editors. And if we are to face something, let's face the reality that administrators get things wrong so many times it makes Washington look like a well oiled, efficient machine. It's not that being an administrator makes you screw up, but that administrators are just as human as the rest of us, and they sure as hell haven't been given the extra bits to 'lead' anything. ” — Hammersoft, January 6, 2010

Not to be confused with Eastern United States.

A map highlighting East Coast of the United States.

  States usually deemed part of the East Coast region

  States sometimes deemed part of the East Coast region

The East Coast of the United States, also known as the Eastern Seaboard or the Atlantic Seaboard and commonly shortened to East Coast, refers to the easternmost coast in the United States along the Atlantic Ocean. The term includes the U.S. states of (from north to south): Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

The East Coast is a low-relief, passive margin coast.

In 2010, the population of the East Coast states, extending from Maine to Florida, was estimated at 112,642,503 (36% of the country's total population). The seaboard is susceptible to hurricanes in the Atlantic hurricane season, officially running from June 1 to November 30, although hurricanes can occur before or after these dates.

The primary Interstate Highway along the East Coast is Interstate 95. The East Coast, from Norfolk, Virginia to Miami, Florida is connected by the Intracoastal Waterway, also known as the East Coast Canal, which was completed in 1912.

Inclusion of states

The term "East Coast" is often associated with the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States, particularly for cultural concepts such as an "Eastern college" or "East-coast liberal" or the "I-95 Corridor" (referring to Interstate 95). The states usually included in this concept are Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, and the states of New England as well as the District of Columbia. The Southeastern portion of the coast from Virginia to Florida is more typically associated culturally with the larger American South. "East Coast" also refers even more to the highly urbanized strip along the coast from Boston, to Washington, D.C., which is also known as the "Northeast Corridor", a definition which excludes the less densely populated areas of Upstate New York, Western Pennsylvania, and northern New England.

History

First encountered by Europeans in 1524 by Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, this region of the North American continent became part of the Atlantic world, and had elaborate trade interconnections with Britain, France, Africa, as well as with the British, French and Spanish colonies of the New World. It was also the scene of large scale colonization by the British starting in the 1580s. Some colonies failed but most thrived. On the other hand the Dutch, Swedish, Spanish and other colonies were eventually taken over by the English speakers. A series of wars between Britain and the French (and Indians), and Spanish, and then wars between the Americans and the British and their Indian allies, kept the frontier regions violent down to 1814. The Americans grew rapidly, and moved to frontiers in the west, and also to the North and South, in unstoppable waves after 1750. The attempts by the (British) Government to prevent European settlement west of the Appalachians (in order to pacify former Native American allies following Pontiac's War) were a primary cause of the American colonist's rebellion. The very rapid demographic growth was due to enormous amounts of good land, ample food, and a favorable disease environment. The Americans doubled in number every 25 years by natural increase. This was augmented before 1775 by steady flows of new migrants from Britain, as well as large numbers from Germany, plus slave purchases. Immigration fell off after 1775, then resumed about 1840. Millions of "old" immigrants came from Britain, Ireland, Germany and Scandinavia before 1890, and even more millions came from Southern and Eastern Europe between 1890 and 1914, when war and immigration restrictions stopped most population movement. Large scale immigration did not resume until the 1960s.

The 13 colonies developed their own political culture in the 18th century, called republicanism. They began to revolt in 1775, creating the United States of America in 1776.

Culturally it is also where most of the first wave of immigrants from Europe settled before America began its western expansion. The Appalachian Trail runs through most of these states from Maine through Georgia. Historically the Mason-Dixon Line cuts this area in half at the northern border of Maryland, which still indicates a cultural change. Through the course of early United States history, the Eastern Coast was divided over many issues including slavery. In the 1860s this came to a head and the Civil War broke out. This war was fought mostly in East Coast states, including Maryland, Virginia, and North and South Carolina.
