Dunedin, FL
I represent the Dunedin History Museum and the city historian. The reference link(s) to the first land grant and the incorporation of the city is from an old incorrect city of Dunedin page. The dates 1852 and 1925 are incorrect for the first land grant and the founding of the city.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.96.115.241 (talk • contribs) 15:10 4 August 2021 (UTC)
Arecaceae
In fact that editor has repeatedly refused to advise me of what the problem is. I'm surprised to hear that editor is an experienced editor as I had not seen need to check. Right off attempting to inject FRINGE political bias and going on to repeatedly demand I debate positions I don't hold is strange for an experienced editor. I have said several times that we can remove and change any parts of my added text and asked how he wants to do that: He still refuses to reply instead insisting on these debates.

Coosa Chiefdom Rewrite
@Donald Albury: Given the general structural and citation issues in the article for the Coosa chiefdom, I have been working on a rewrite. At this point, I don't think its complete, but I wanted to ask you to take a look. Thank you for your time. --KiwiNova (talk) 19:41, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think that looks pretty good. An article with a topic adjacent to yours that I worked on is Apalachicola Province. I think there is a lot of room in WP for improvements to coverage of the proto-historical/early historic period in the southeastern U.S. I previously kept myself busy sticking mainly to topics related to Florida, but that area spills over into the wider souteast. I have been disappointed in how limited much coverage of Native Americans in the southeastern U.S. is in WP. Something I don't see much coverage is how Mississippian chiefdoms evolved into local confederacies, and then merged into the Muscogee Confederacy. Oh, yeah, take a look at Tribal town if you haven't seen it. Donald Albury 23:00, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Robinson Springs
A Robinson Springs is noted in historical sources four miles northwest of Marianna "florida"&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&ovdme=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiBi6Gf-sqGAxXifDABHXUqD4MQ6AF6BAgLEAM per here but I can't find any trace of what became of it? It is noted here also. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:47, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- @FloridaArmy: Sorry, I don't see anything. There may be something in a local source that hasn't been uploaded to the net, but, aside from an historical society in Jackson County, I don't know where to look. Donald Albury 20:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Robert (doll) Edit Assist/Adviceedit
Hi Donald,
No need to introduce myself as you have recently blocked my profile from editing Robert (doll). Robert's page is still outdated with information that is not totally accurate.
I'd like to update his page still but cannot risk being blocked again.
As an Admin, can you please inform me as to what was the issue with my most recent update to his page?
I'd like to come to a solution so Robert's page can be updated accordingly.
Thanks~~~ Gabriellemcnell (talk) 20:09, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Gabriellemcnell: I recommend that you propose any changes to the article on its talk page, and see what other editors say about your proposals. Donald Albury 20:27, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Belle Glade, Floridaedit
Hello Donald! I saw your comment on my talk page about reverting the changes I made to the Belle Glade page. Wikipedia's general guideline on reliable sources suggests that publications from reputable organizations, which would include government agencies are considered reliable resources. I cited the Belle Glades Gov website which should be considered a reliable source. I want to hear you out, but I think we can revert the changes I made with some exceptions. Let's talk before I undo your changes. MoisesM12 (talk) 00:04, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Moises M12: Reliability of sources is contingent on what the source is being used for. A local government source is generally considered reliable for content about that government. Not so much so for the history of the area before that government existed. Archaeological and historical sources published by academic presses and journals trump histories published on the web by local governments, chambers of commerce, and similar sources. Note that our article on Calusa states,
At the time of European contact in the 16th and 17th centuries, the historic Calusa were the people of the Caloosahatchee culture. They developed a complex culture based on estuarine fisheries rather than agriculture. Calusa territory reached from Charlotte Harbor to Cape Sable, all of present-day Charlotte, Lee, and Collier counties, and may have included the Florida Keys at times.
There is no indication in currently accepted scholarly treatment of the Calusa that they were ever resident in Palm Beach County. The people living around Lake Okeechobee when the Spanish arrived in Florida were likely the Mayaimi. A century ago many sources stated that the Calusa extended over musch of southern Florida, but more recent scholarship has restricted their culture to southwest Florida, although their political influence may have extended further.

Political views Kenneth Griffinedit
Hi Donald. I noticed your participation in Wikipedia:WikiProject Miami and was hoping that you would be interested in taking a look at an edit request I recently posted at Talk:Kenneth C. Griffin#Additions to Political views. I would be grateful if you were able to implement those edits. Thanks, Cduffymul (talk) 23:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Since you're already involved in the discussion...edit
Could you please weigh in on whether or not this is an appropriate action given the stated intent of the nomination? Note that the nom is the author of the article, intends to create 20k articles of that type, has consistently expressed opposition and hostility to attempts at restricting mass-creation of such articles, and given their extensive involvement in the topic and what has already been stated about these AfD outcomes in the thread, should know exactly how their AfD is going to turn out (so it's disingenuous to frame it as a "test case" that's supposed to influence the current discussion as if they're agnostic and as if they genuinely believe the article should be deleted).

Florida resourceedit
I have noticed and enjoyed your contributions on Florida historical topics (such as fishing ranchos) so just wanted to flag this 1860 Florida map image I recently uploaded from NARA. No idea if it's of any value but just wanted to put it on your radar.
Cheers and keep up the good work! jengod (talk) 04:00, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- There are a number of good sources for old maps of Florida. I have used several from Florida Memory Maps for articles in Wikipedia. Other sources include UF Map & Imagery Library Collections and Exploring Florida Maps from USF. Donald Albury 11:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Micronation | better sourcingedit
Hi, I'm fairly new to wikipedia and you critiqued my sourcing I was planning on editing/correcting them but before I do so I wanted to ask your advise on better citation, most relevantly on the Micronation page; I was hoping you could mentor me on this since my official Wikipedia mentor appears to be absent or inactive. For a few citation errors I can see I made for myself such as the wrong placement for the reference to the fictional country of Ruritania(I placed the reference next to the wrong Ruritania tag), but others are less clear such as Aynvaul being *listed* as attending MicroCon in 2017 where I cited a list of attending members. I see the issue with springer were it mentions them and their location as being a minute mention, but this one I feel would warrant just a mention if it is an attendance list? (correct me if I am wrong). As for the others you mentioned (full citation needed) that they need a more specific citation, these other ones are interviews by Vice and PBS(?) I imagine timestamped links instead of links to the interviews? Furthermore how would I be more specific for references that would satisfy the full citation for website references? -Thank you for your time! ScholarGray13 (talk) 16:39, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- @ScholarGray13: I am copying this over to Talk:Micronation, where other editors who contribute to the article can see it and comment, if they wish. Let us carry on the conversation there. - Donald Albury 19:05, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
