Person talk:Claes Romeyn (1)

Proposal for changes and additions [29 November 2012]

I would like to make changes to this page if there are no objections. First Claes' name needs to be changed to Claes Jansen Romeyn. Second he needs to be linked to his wife, Stintje Albertse Terhune who is already listed with her parents.--Renee Dauven 03:25, 29 November 2012 (EST)

Henk, sorry but maybe I need another cup of coffee this morning but I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to tell me. So I think that you may have to elaborate a bit more for me.

If there is something on the linked site that would prohibit the changes, I have failed to grasp what it might be.

If you are trying to point out another online source, I thank you for your efforts. I would like to submit to your examination the following links: http://www.web-ster.com/promine/claessource.htm http://www.web-ster.com/promine/claestime.htm Be sure to note the dates.--Renee Dauven 11:15, 1 December 2012 (EST)

Hi. sorry when I see a dutch immigrant passing by, I get curious and want to know who it is and where he comes from. In this case I saw this information and added it without thinking to the talk page. to use it in the future. It was not my attention to annoy, again sorry :-)--henk 12:11, 1 December 2012 (EST)

No problem, Henk. I'm not irritated at all. I was just curious as to how it related to the original question. I love this overall web site but am finding it has a rather steep, at least for me, learning curve. I thought I may have missed something else.

Am glad that your pointed it out as it brings up an interesting problem. Since the web site you pointed out has incorporated without attribution pages that I had put online a few years earlier, can I now still put my earlier stuff on these pages? This is not meant as a complaint against the creator of the web site. I'm just not sure how all this open source/vs copyright always works.--Renee Dauven 12:32, 1 December 2012 (EST)

yes of course you can but it would be suitable of course to name the sources like you did before, but I'm only a simple contributor as well and dutch so I dont always understand what is meant. In those case I ask my good ;-)friend Jennifer who is an administrator and can answer thes qustions better than I can, and knowing her I think she will read this page and when she has time she will answer. But answering you original question: the person who original added this information is not a active contributor so you can change everything you want --henk 12:51, 1 December 2012 (EST)

Hello Renee and Henk,

Renee, it sounds like what you are saying is that this site is using your original work without attribution. If it is your original work, you can use it here on WeRelate. I can see, however, how it might be confusing to future readers if they see the same text on RootsWeb (which we can't copy due to copyright issues). Perhaps you could add a note with the text saying you are the original author of the text that has been duplicated on other websites.

I do agree that WeRelate has a steep learning curve. Your contributions really are valuable, and if you have any questions about using the site, don't hesitate to ask! Henk is right in his response about the original contributor to this WR page not being an active user. WR had a large number of GEDCOM's "dumped" in 2007. The site has significantly improved its GEDCOM upload process since then to weed out GEDCOMS of less quality. So, you don't really need to leave messages on the talk pages for the changes you are making. You can write a brief summary in the "summary" field when you save the page, add sources, and if a user has a question, they can address it on the talk page.

One more small note, I removed the extra spaces before your text above. When there are leading spaces, the font changes to an ugly, hard to read one. --Jennifer (JBS66) 13:38, 1 December 2012 (EST)

How does one know if the listed watchers are current or not? I don't mind leaving the changes proposals on the talk pages but if it is annoying to the administrators, I will discontinue doing so. It just seemed rude to me just plow into things and change them all around. I just keep hoping I'll find someone who is currently working also.

Your small note--OH! That explains what is happening. I thought it might be because I am cutting and pasting from my genealogy program. Thanks for that tip and all the rest of your help. Renee Dauven

Good question! Click on the user's name under the list of watchers, then click on Contributions. From that list, you will see their most recent edits to WR. If you see they uploaded a file in, say 2007, and never made an edit past that point, they are unlikely to respond to your message. Your messages are not in any way annoying to admins, it just saves you time in the longrun. One of the other active users working with the Early Dutch immigrants is User:Pkeegstra. --Jennifer (JBS66) 15:14, 1 December 2012 (EST)

I'm trying to find an explanation for the name Romeyn and found also this: Have you ever found an reference where the name came from ?
