Re:Link to Mound builder (people) or Native American earthwork

In those links you changed that I had inserted, you stated in summaries that a link to mound was more helpful, but your link doesn't go to mound or to Native Americans but to Mound builder (people), a page that deals more with past misconceptions, debunked racist and religious myths, and misconceptions about many unrelated cultures than about Native Americans or mounds themselves. Why isn't Native American earthwork, which links to Native Americans and an archaeological definition for the structures, better? The actual cultures that built the mounds are linked a sentence or 2 later in the text of those articles, the Mound builder (people) article is at best a pointer to those subjects, so it really isn't needed. Just wondering what your reasoning on the matter was, regards He iro 04:24, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for St. Aloysius' Catholic Church (Carthagena, Ohio)

On July 1, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article St. Aloysius' Catholic Church (Carthagena, Ohio), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Little Thetford flesh-hook

Hi - you changed a category recently in Little Thetford flesh-hook from Bronze age Europe to Bronze age Britain. Can we discuss please? My reason for choosing Bronze age Europe was due the two references (9) Bowman and (10) Needham and Bowman referring to Atlantic Zone Bronze age. Do we add this article to both Bronze age Europe and Bronze age Britain? --Senra (talk) 11:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

converting DAB to article

I had a mental note to check the DAB page on flesh hook as it had info not appropriate for a DAB. I see you converted it to a stub. What is the mechanism? Did you simply remove the category? To put it differently, I thought of DAB as a special kind of thing, but perhaps they are simply articles with a DAB category?--SPhilbrick T 18:58, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Superior, Nebraska church

Got to Nuckolls County, Nebraska not too long ago; and per your request, sought out and photographed the church at 423 E. 5th St. in Superior. There was no address on the building or the mailbox; but it was the only building on the odd side in that block, so I assume it's the right one. The pictures are at Commons:Category:Grace Community Evangelical Free Church (Superior, Nebraska).

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you add some categories? I've looked in vain for a good subcategory of Commons:Category:Protestant churches in the United States in which to put it. Thanks—

--Ammodramus (talk) 22:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glad the picture's of the right church. I thought it would be, since the building clearly wasn't of very recent construction, and I checked rather carefully to make sure I wasn't being led astray by the distinction between streets and avenues or the like.

Surprised that there's not better categorization of churches by denomination. I'd have thought that there were enough various churches on the NRHP to lead to the development of a good category structure by people in that group, if nothing else.

--Ammodramus (talk) 22:57, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Your point about NRHP churches tending to belong to older and more well-defined denominations is a good one, although I'm sure that some of them have been transferred to newer and fuzzier denominations, just as some have become private homes or senior centers or artists' collectives.

Incidentally, are the pictures adequate for your purposes? Ideally, I'd have got some pictures with the light in the east, but was in Superior at the wrong time of day for that. I'll need to go back there in the morning at some point, since I need to shoot the west sides of the streets in Superior Downtown HD; and if you like, I can try to get some morning shots of the church.

National Register of Historic Places listings in Marshall County, Iowa

Nyytend, Should we include First Church of Christ, Scientist in this list as well? I know that it is no longer standing. But it is included on the National Register of Historic Places fromn the National Park Service. Kepper66 (talk) 12:18, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is listed here on this site. http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/IA/Marshall/state.html Kepper66 (talk) 16:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Okay! We'll do. Thanks for directing me to the official site. Kepper66 (talk) 17:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked at the article. I never knew it was there. Now what do we do? Kepper66 (talk) 17:15, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what your problem is. You want to delete this image no matter what, clearly it should remain...Modernist (talk) 13:11, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the copyright tag - however the photograph has been altered. It was cropped by User:Ceoil and the piece itself is from antiquity...Modernist (talk) 13:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Initially you objected to the original Fair use claim, which strikes me as odd considering it is a cropped photograph. It seems to me that you want this object to disappear...Modernist (talk) 13:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't replace the photo because I live on the other side of the ocean, can you? I think the image should remain under the fair use rationale until such time that it can be replaced...Modernist (talk) 13:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How Do I Reference Printed Historical Society Documents (Not On Internet)

What is the procedure to reference printed historical documents that are NOT on the internet? For example, some small historical booklets that were printed in the 1960's and 1970's by a local historical society. They don't have an ISBN number. Sbmeirow (talk) 02:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tennispro88

Hi there. You have indefblocked this user for block evasion, which is certainly technically correct. He had a previous, similarly name account four years ago and, using it, posted a number of unarguable vandal edits. His only edits with his second account have been to remove edits from his earlier account, and I tend to feel that he is planning on being a serious editor. Do you feel like re-considering your block? The admin who made the first block has not been on wikipedia for some eleven months.--Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 11:19, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New census designated places for 2010 Census

I stumbled on this earlier today when browsing through the GNIS database to expand county templates. It appears that several unincorporated communities were recently redesignated as census-designated places in several states for the 2010 Census, which will increase the number of named places with official Census data. Go to the GNIS page and search for Feature Class, Census. Most were designated in March 2010, but I've found some designated as recently as June. A few examples.

Nash, North Dakota [3]
Cass County, North Dakota previously had two CDPs (Erie and Wheatland), now it has 2 more.Brooktree Park and Embden
Agency Village, South Dakota [4]

There does not seem to be an official U.S. Census Bureau list of them. However, in 2008 the Census Bureau did announce changes to its policies on identifying what qualifies as a designated place for 2010 and beyond. The policy was to allowing for states to identify more areas as CDPs, subject to Census approval. Basically, any single closely settled named population center qualifies, as long as it does not have zero population or zero housing units and is composed of a contiguous area of census blocks.

I plan on adding new CDPs to the county templates and updating current articles for unicorporated places that have become CDPs as appropriate. For now, I'm going to just make a note of the addition in GNIS as the source, but may also include the following, if you think it works. In 2008, the U.S. Census Bureau updated the criteria for its Participant Statistical Areas Program to allow for additional CDPs to be included in 2010 Census (insert reference to Federal Register notice). What do you think?DCmacnut <> 19:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

refs to those with articles are next on my list. Thanks. I don't see a need to add a ref to those without articles just yet (as far as moves within the county templates) other than in the edit summary right now, unless you think it's needed.DCmacnut <> 21:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That was just me typing too fast. I've been editing and chasing my toddler around at the same time.DCmacnut <> 02:19, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to look at a couple of the photos. We're out of town for the baptism of our new goddaughter this weekend and wifi at the hotel is spotty. That along with other visiting, I haven't had much time. From what I've seen so far, they turned out great just what we were looking for thanks. I'll take a closer look when I get home tomorrow. As an added bonus, though, the baptism was at a church on the NRHP in Renner, South Dakota. Took several photos, along with some of the Renner Ball Park, also on the register. There's a farm, too, but I was losing my light this evening, and didn't quite know where to go for that one. An excuse for another trip, I suppose.DCmacnut <> 03:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Nyttend, I went to the recent changes list to find an online admin: you're it.

Five Corners, Wisconsin/Andriy Horak

My apologies for any confusion about the Outagamie County template. In looking through my Wisconsin DeLorme atlas-I found out there were another 3 Five Corners, Wisconsin in the state of Wisconsin so I have to make the change to prevent any confusion. Also I started an article about Andriy Horak. He was an Ukrainian Orthodox bishop and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is going through some schism. I would had done a more complete article but his obituary on his church's website is in Ukrainian. I do not know if the other foreign language Wikipedias have done an article about about him.

Issues With Your Bulk Cleanup

You were complaining about my edits, but during your "cleanup" you delete former citizens that had references, yeah even had wiki pages, what the heck? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peabody,_Kansas

So are you saying that I can't list any cemeteries? Even the primary cemetery?

So can I create a Marion County Kansas Cemetery List page or something along those concepts....without it being delete? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbmeirow (talk • contribs) 19:27, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can I put back Dennis Franchione using this new reference

Search for the word Peabody in this article http://www2.aggiesports.com/football/news/122604kimfran.htm which does prove he live there. Now that he is RICH, he talks it down, like he only lived in a trailer. Hmmmm, that might explain why he never invited us over until he moved into that large 2-story house, where our team did football game reviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbmeirow (talk • contribs) 20:42, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think wiki needs some type of embedded or hidden link to appropriate style guides for each wiki page

Even though Wikipedia is incredible for non-editors, it has been a major pain for me to find the right style guides. The high-level wiki editor help has monumental amounts of information, which is great, but when it comes down to knowning what to include or not-include on a wiki page, it is almost impossible to find help or styles guides because you don't know the magic words that will hit and give you the right one you need.

About the only way I get style guides or rule guides is when other editors slam me for not meeting something I didn't know about. Even though I have been editing city wiki pages for about a month, I didn't even know about the WP:USCITY.

I kind of wish that each wiki page had a special-link to the recommended style guide for that type of page, for example each city wiki page would have some type of link to WP:USCITY. What would really be useful is that when you click the EDIT button, the edit page would have a link to it. Maybe a big wish for a wiki newbie.

Sbmeirow (talk) 21:43, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response. No you weren't too hard on me. Yes, my edits didn't match the guidelines, so I was wrong. My statement above is a little terse likely because I've been spending a lot of time editing pages and snapped back harser than I should have. Thanks for the help!!!

I know that I need to refine the wiki text that I add to the city wiki's, and I'll work harder to format them more like the style guide. The wiki's for all the tiny towns in the area are so sparse that it's easy for me to get out of control adding new info since I finally got into the zone of how to edit wiki pages. I'm trying to get more people involved in Marion County city wiki's, especially history guru's, but I'm not going to hold my breath :-)

Sbmeirow (talk) 23:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it ok to add empty sections and include the Expand-section?

I noticed that Las_Cruces, New Mexico was using the Expand-section to get people to help fill in some sections. I'm not going to add all every section, like big cities, but I thought 2 or 3 might be a good idea. For the smallest incorporated towns, I wanted to add the Expand-section to the History section to get more people involved. Please look at Aulne, Kansas for unincorporated city and edit to your taste, so I can use the concept on other incorporated towns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbmeirow (talk • contribs) 00:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Monitor roof

I seem to have hit a wall on sourcing for the term.

8 states (with pix) trip

Just back and worn out - I'd forgotten how much work it is to upload and properly place pix. Pix in Illinois (Champaign-Urbana, and Quincy), MO, KS, CO, NE, IA, KY (1?), TN. I may have finished off Denver (the whole thing), but 2 pix are a bit iffy, e.g. a pix of a gate that says "Touch this gate at your own risk."

Lincoln Center, Kansas should be moved or renamed to Lincoln, Kansas

It looks like someone expanded out the OLD city name from the 1800's, instead of using the common name of Lincoln.

Pittsburgh Landmarks

Hi Nyttend, since you have contributed quite a few images of historic buildings in the Pittsburgh area, I though you'd like to know that 1) the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation table of Historic Landmarks now has all 538 plaque recipients entered and 2) there is a discussion about whether the City designated landmarks (99 of them including districts) and the PHLF landmarks should be split into two separate list articles. Your opinion on the matter, under discussion on the talk page, would be valued. CrazyPaco (talk) 21:21, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sock puppet advice

Not sure the appropriate venue, but there's a blocked editor using sock IPs to circumvent his block The problem is the edits are updating historical cenus populations, primarily for North Dakota communities, and while edit summaries are lacking, the contributions are valuable. You can see his most recent comment on my talk page. I came across his edits where he was counting township population as a city population, so I reverted. But most are accurate when I compare the original US census data. His most recent string his here and the previous here. Both IPs are one's he acknowledges using on his talk page.

It appears the editor was indefinitely blocked a long time ago, and won't or can't use the proper unblock procedures. I sent him a friendly warning today that he should avoid using IPs to get around his block. Since his talk page mentions you, I thought I'd inquire. I don't intend to revert any of his valid edits, but also don't want to condone an editor blatantly violating policy.DCmacnut <> 02:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The blocked user is someone else entirely unrelated to the Iowa thing. User:Rossdegenstein. Apparently he's been blocked for several reasons, including treating Wikipedia has his personal web page. He's been circumventing the block by editing from a variety of IP addresses. I was just curious. His edits to population data are by and large accurate and good additions. But since he was circumventing a block, my concern was that he would continue to tick off other editors which could lead to some problems. He doesn't seem to be entirely up on proper citations and edit summaries, but when it comes to the historical populations I don't think any of us are good about providing sources for each decennial census.DCmacnut <> 16:00, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. It's not that big of a deal to me. I watch a majority of ND articles, so I'll just keep my eye out. On the cemetery, we should have some additional information for you today or tomorrow, and the findagrave website was just updated with some new info.DCmacnut <> 17:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NRHP talk pages

Hey Nyttend, I've noticed you create NRHP articles alot (see User:AlexNewArtBot/NRHPSearchResult) but you rarely if ever create the associated talk page. It is generally common practice to add any NRHP article to relevant wikiprojects, as explained here. Adding these templates to the talk page allows for more accurate calculations of the "quality" of the project. I'm not like harping on your or anything, but I noticed it.. just making sure you knew.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 08:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'm harping. You're still not creating the talk pages..--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 15:27, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Surprising edit

I was going to retag File:Systel Inc twin server.JPG as no permission which fastily has added but was surprised to see you removed it with this edit when clearly the uploader User:Mauliknk has provided no permission from Systel inc the copyright holder according to the source link http://systelusa.com/eirm-ipc4116.html given. Even though the source is in the description field and the source shows only the uploader's name, so obviously the "no permission" tag was correct.

National Register of Historic Places listings in Champaign County, Illinois

Please let me know what you think of my sidewalk experiment, it should jump out at you. All the best. Smallbones (talk) 04:21, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the nomination forms stress the sidewalks e.g., and the brass plaque is on (and refers to) the sidewalk, not the buildings. Why else do you think I took photos of a sidewalk? Still, it's an odd photo in bad light. I'll probably put it in an article on the site(s). I'm inclined to put the 2 buildings together in one article (the sidewalks are about 15 yards long total). Thanks for the feedback. Smallbones (talk) 14:58, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pity the Fool

Dear Nyttend

I put up a page called 'Pity the Fool' about 3 to 4 months back, the admins requested the page for speedy deletion because the page had no evidence that the band is notable according to the criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (music). Please see my recent comment, I had to wait for a new Ptf song to be released and now it is on the charts, please can you assist me in getting the page up again. Thank you

Kind regards Danielptf (talk) 20:47, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've made this request elsewhere[5][6][7] and signed yourself Daniel Raubenheimer. That's a member of the band to which you're referring. If you're him, you shouldn't be involved in creating the article, 'cause it's conflict of interest, dude. Just sayin'. Also, new comments go at the bottom of a talk page, just so's you know. --Ebyabe (talk) 21:52, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Need a Pair of Eyes

Per the Stephens City FAC, I wrote an "Ecomony" section for the Stephens City, Virginia page. I just need someone to look over the facts and information, tinker if needed and let me know if anything needs fixed. It is all done by the information of the US Census. If you are busy with another project, let me know and I will track down another admin, no worries. You can find the page at User:Neutralhomer/Sandbox3. Thanks...Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:44, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All right, I added some words in front of those sentences that started with numbers, checked my captialization and threw the whole section in a Word document and spell checked it (only the reference name came out wrong, to my amusement). Would you mind giving it another once-over, please? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:17, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those are actually the categories given like "Arts, Entertainment, Recreation, Accommodation and Food Services", that is one whole category given in the Census information, so I am slightly unsure how to fix that. It isn't all capitalized on the Census information (like I had it previously), but I capitalized it all as I thought that is what you meant (and it looked better when I thought about it). What should I do or what that be a better question for Ruhrfisch? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I like the all lower caps idea. I will ask Ruhrfisch what he thinks and go from there. Thanks Dude! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:43, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Roth House

Denverjeff was kind enough to point out that I got 5 North vs. the real 5 South Fox Street. I knew something was wrong with it but just couldn't figure out what. It would have been the final pix for all of Denver. And I was only a half block away! On the other hand, DJ has taken a pix ( here - see my talk page), but it looks a lot like the Richthofer Castle - all trees, no house. I guess it just wasn't meant to be - I was dragging my wife all over town taking these quickie shots, and ... DJ says that he might go back at Christmas (when the leaves are off) ... Do you have a trick-shot hidden in an old folder somewhere? Any other possibilities? I really wanted an entry on fully - illustrated lists like "Denver (all of it, including 4 subdivisions)" Smallbones (talk) 03:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I put the Speer shot into SE Denver - it is in 2 other parts of the city. Feel free to ask DJ to release the Roth pix - I think he is a bit of a perfectionist (perhaps thats why I was a bit afraid of stepping on his toes). Good to hear about your driving. Mrs S was quite understanding about the Denver - Hannibal part of the trip (with the exception of Iowa City and Keokuk), but the last 3 days were a bit much for both of us. We decided - no more joint 7+ day driving trips for at least another 5 years!

BTW - One of those things about NRHP that makes you say hmm ... Why does Iowa City have 100+ sites, when Chicago only has about 300? Smallbones (talk) 04:26, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, guys, thanks for your messages. Nyttend, if you think that my Flickr picture of Denver's Henry Roth house is good enough, then yes, by all means, feel free to grab it from Flickr and upload it. That'll be great to have all the Denver pictures finished. By the way, next month or in September I plan to visit Pitkin County, Colorado (Aspen) and hope to get a bunch of shots there. Thanks again, Jeffrey Beall 11:16, 26 July 2010 (UTC).

Beaver Co. PA markers

There are only two possibilities for the marker you showed me: it is either a local marker or the PHMC database is incomplete. After combing through the PHMC database, I have to say it seemed very up-to-date and complete, even listing very old missing markers.The shape and design of that marker suggests it is either not a PA state historical marker or it is a very old one. My guess is that it would be a local marker. CrazyPaco (talk) 09:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image hoax

You deleted File:BUNT BAND.jpg as a hoax. I'm not sure how this image can be considered a hoax. Certainly, the article that included the image is likely a hoax, as it makes some very extravagant unfounded claims about the popularity of this band. I believe the band to be a group of tweens (based on the band's "official site") who are trying to bolster their own image and egos with this page. That doesn't mean they don't exist, and that the image provided is not actually the art they have used on their album. It's not clear that there was any evidence that the image constituted a hoax, even though the article clearly is. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:16, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Musical recordings, whether confirmed or not, aren't individuals, animals, organizations, or web content. It plainly wasn't a very short article with insufficient context, since it linked to the artist, so it shouldn't have been deleted. Nyttend (talk) 02:56, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

same name same county

Sorry not to have followed up on this issue for a long time, after i promised i would draft an RFC. I've kept it in mind as one of several open editorial decision issues. Just now I opened a discussion section on the "same name same county" issue at wt:NRHP, trying to be relatively neutral, and hoping to settle the issue well enough just within wp:NRHP. Could you comment there, please? I gave as example the pair of Octagon House places in Fairfield County, CT because I have been focussing on that list-article. I think that might suffice, or perhaps you might think another pair or two would be also important to consider, that bring out different aspects of the issue. I'd be open to having a wider RFC still, too. Regards. --doncram (talk) 22:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. So they both have some real creds. If one or both had been local I could have understood (I do find it amusing sometimes reading the noms from earlier years when they were usually prepared by local people with a lot more enthusiasm for what they were doing than professionalism in doing it). Then again, since they were MPSes and the actual apps don't have names, maybe they were prepared by staffers or local people, and someone had forgotten about the district in the meantime. Daniel Case (talk) 04:48, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This one for Gilfillan Farm near Pittsburgh is one of my favorites. The woman writing it was, it seems, a local realtor whose preservationist impulses cannot be faulted, but who badly needed to have it explained to her that she was writing for a government entity full of very serious people. There's an awful lot of la-de-dah stuff but I really had to search through it for the useful information.

I've always been very impressed by the people New York's OPRHP gets doing this stuff. Very professional and sometimes their insights have made it into articles and become DYK hooks (I like Neil Larson's especially).

Re: My Internet connexion

No worries. Glad no one was hurt when your internet and phone got struck. I do know that Walmart has some cheap-o phones, if you just need a phone. They run about $12.00 and have caller ID available and work pretty good. We have one and it does the trick, last a couple days on a single charge (it is cordless). If it is wiring, then that is definitely the phone company. If you have Verizon for phone, expect a week or more with them, they are kinda slow. But think of it this way, at least no telemarketers will be calling you at all hours. :) Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 08:00, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, I used the wrong reference (oops). But given that I had two sources, one saying Roosevelt was involved and one saying he wasn't, I've added more references. There are multiple sources saying Roosevelt made the arrangements, and a good source showing that Roosevelt commissioned 200 paintings from Sharp and confirming it was the Indian Commission, not just an individual agent, which did the building. I've provided an alternate hook using the word "arranged" rather than "supported" and making it clear that the actual work and expense was provided by the Indian Commission.

Baptist convention of Indiana

Hello Nyttend,

Would you please consider reinstating the "State Convention of Baptist in Indiana"? The following link shows how each state convention is a part of the Southern Baptist Convention. Southern Baptists are the largest evangelical denomination in the world. As I read the standard the state conventions they seemed to qualify for notability. I have also linked the web site for each state convention on the page I created. The bulk of information mentioned on the wiki page is verified on the state convention web pages. Thanks again for your help. Please let me know how I am to proceed.

I would certainly like to try Nyttend. I am also trying to recruit help. I truly believe that understanding what the state conventions believe and how many churches are in them is helpful to wiki users. This information assist others in understanding how Southern Baptists work. In addition to size, I also mentioned entities the conventions own and operate. There is also a link to what they believe. Information was also provided on how the SBC state convention cooperate together. Please consider restoring the pages so that I can work on them further.

I noticed someone moved the article Ohio State Normal College At Kent to Ohio State Normal College at Kent citing "correcting name spelling and grammatical error". As far as I remember, the actual NRHP form did have the "at" capitalized (which is why the article was titled the way it was). I can't find the copy of the form I have to verify that. The question is, should we hold to the exact title from NRHP when it isn't a normal use of capitalization or should we stick with the actual title as on the forms regardless of the "norms" of capitalization? --JonRidinger (talk) 20:24, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The NRHP's website is acting all borky, so I went to Ohio and this is the link to the "Ohio State Normal College At Kent" registry information and the "at" is capitalized. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:34, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A little more digging on the Ohio Historical Society website shows if you want the actual application in PDF file, it will cost you four bits. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:41, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I used to have a hard copy of the nomination form but somehow it disappeared from my collection (free to get from the National Park Service, but takes forever). I do remember "at" being capitalized because it surprised me. I was just wondering which policy trumped the other here: "normal" capitalization rules or the actual title. --JonRidinger (talk) 20:47, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stark County

Thanks for the note, Nyt. I was born in Massillon and raised in the area and visit there a couple of times a year. When I was there a couple of weeks ago, I got pics of most of the sites I hadn't already photographed on previous trips. There are still a few to go, but it's getting there. Most of my photo efforts are out here in the Bay Area. I've pretty well covered San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Alameda Counties at this point. Next comes the peninsula. I know that you've been quite busy in many parts of Ohio. Keep up the good work! --sanfranman59 (talk) 03:27, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Baptist Conventions

Hi,

I am cross posting to this to both your and Malik Shabazz Talk page as you both have been involved.

Can I have your views on the other state Baptist Conventions that Toverton28 has been working on, he has gone quiet over the last few days, and would like to give him time to fix them.

I noticed that Ltwin recommended working on them as user pages, which seems like a good idea - is it worth userfying all of the existing ones plus the ones already deleted ? Codf1977 (talk) 10:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Anime and Manga

Sorry about the db-tagging, I used the wrong tags for the redirects. I didn't even know db-r1 even existed; it wasn't in the csd criteria, and so I mixed it up with db-r3. Would those subpages still qualify for quick deletion under db-r3 anyway? :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 21:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

john edwards double bassist deleted

Hello Nyttend, i am upset you deleted the article i created for john edwards. he is the most important double bassist for free jazz/free improvisation music in the uk if not europe/world. i have listed over 50 records of his on indie free jazz labels since the 80s, the peguin jazz book listed him, and all his collaberators have their own wiki articles, and he is still considered as insignificant? does wiki only exist for popstars and celebraties? please refer to Emanem Records,everyone else who he has played with already has their articles!

Thanks, Yibo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Write2yibo (talk • contribs) 22:06, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, John edwards is a very low key artist, never takes any interviews. and because he is in the supporting role (but critical to have) of a double bass player in any musical ensembles, he is not featured as the main musician in tv/radio. this is why there are not much information on him online. Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion. instead in the criterion for speedy deletion, it was listed that if a musician has cds under important indie labels, he will be considered significant. i am surprise you just delete regardlessly without referring to the 50 cds listed under several indie record labels, all of them are on wiki. do you do backups when you delete? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Write2yibo (talk • contribs) 22:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am referring to the below:

Criteria for musicians and ensembles 5. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). In this case JE had over 50 albums on a couple of important indie labels. He should be fitting the criteria. Also,number six is relavent also: 6. Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles.

DYK? nomination guidance

Nyttend, I just finished an article entitled Princess Victor of Thurn and Taxis and as you will see if you have time to take a look at it, there is a lot going on in terms of notable hook material. Because of your expertise in crafting delectable hooks for DYK?, I was wondering if I could pick your brain as to the best way to encapsulate several of the article's notable points into a single hook. I'm going seek the guidance of a few other editors, but wanted you to be my first stop! Thanks again for all you do for Wikipedia! --Caponer (talk) 01:57, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! Thank you so much for your timely response! I just happened upon several news articles from Pennsylvania newspapers scans on ancestry.com... it looks like I'm not finished with this article after all ;) I'll keep you posted on its status until I nominate ;) Thanks again Nyttend, you're the best! --Caponer (talk) 02:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found her death date in the Uniontown, Pennsylvania newspaper, the Evening Standard. I know her birth year and am still looking for the exact date, but I'll ensure they are added to the article post haste! ;) --Caponer (talk) 02:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hence why I used the safest, "Princess Victor of Thurn and Taxis," as the article title. She was referred to as "Leonora" in one New York Times article, but known as "Princess Lida" in several local Pennsylvania newspapers. In most New York Times articles, she is either referred to as "Princess of Thurn and Taxis" or "Princess Victor of Thurn and Taxis." Since Leonora was used once, I decided to go with Lida, but the discovery of additional sources may call for further modifications. Thanks again for all your assistance Nyttend! I've nominated it for DYK! I'll continue expanding the article tomorrow, but for the sake of DYK, it's finished ;) --Caponer (talk) 04:15, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hossein Omoumi

Hi. May I ask you to reconsider your speedy deletion of this? I deleted as copyvio a much fuller article about him, and then decided that he was in fact notable, and made this stub as a start for a non-copyvio article. I think the sourced assertions in the stub (Professor at UC Irvine, concert performer on the ney) are enough to pass A7, and as far as full notability goes,

Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

shows references in News, Books and Scholar. There are also references to him in several WP articles, and a substantial article in Farsi WP (not that I can read it). Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dayton Masonic Center

Hey, it appears that Dayton Masonic Center has an NRHP plaque on it (per this). Can you possibly tell what historic district it might be in, out of those listed in National Register of Historic Places listings in Dayton, Ohio? Its address is 525 W. Riverview Ave.; google satellite view here. Thanks in advance! --doncram (talk) 21:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize the photo was yours! Thanks for that, and pointing me to Steele's Hill-Grafton Hill Historic District. I developed the Dayton Masonic Center article a bit, and think it seems important enough to keep as a separate article, but i may not develop it much more myself now. Hopefully well-qualified Ohioans may take it further, eventually.... :) --doncram (talk) 09:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Missing sections of the Alabama ZIP code list

I noticed that your ZIP code completion list for Alabama has been missing a few sections since you created it. Every ZIP code from 362-365 was missing until I added them back in a while ago; I thought that was it until I noticed a large chunk of the 360s was missing today. I suspect the original article was vandalized before it was deleted, and I'm not sure if any other sections are missing. Since I'm not an admin, could you please find the pre-blanking revision of List of ZIP Codes in Alabama and put it in a subpage of my user page (User:TheCatalyst31/Alabama, let's say) so I can sort out the rest? (I got the other missing communities from an archived version of the original page, but it's not formatted and I can't practically check the whole list from there for missing parts.) TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 22:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I think I replaced all of the missing ones now (there were quite a few, and they were scattered about for some reason). TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 23:20, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Declined speedy of Skydrift Air Charter

G'day from Oz; I just want to point out that Skydrift Air Charter is not actually an airline, but the airborne equivalent of a small taxicab company. Just about any airport serving a major city in the Western world will have at least one, if not several, of this type of company based there. The refs establish nothing other than that it exists, has some aeroplanes and is licenced by the regulator to operate commercially. The bulk of the edits have been made by Users who haven't made edits to any other articles on WP, so I think it's safe to assume that they have a connection with the company. In short, I thought it was a pretty-clear-cut and non-contentious candidate for an A7 speedy. YSSYguy (talk) 00:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Protest of Deletion of Kieran Powell (Ventriloquist)

As a relativley new Wikipedia member I would like to question the deletion of [:Kieran Powell (Ventriloquist)]] as I feel the reasons we gave where justified. Further more I did check the compliance of the page alongside A7. Firstly I feel that [:Kieran Powell (Ventriloquist)]] is well known enough as shown by general Google results and external links. Secondly the main output of the page was to explain the creativity of [:Kieran Powell (Ventriloquist)]]. E.g. Puppets & shows. Please reconsider, or justify this deletion in order that I may clearly know why it has been deleted, as I have already checked the A7 article and have found that in my opinion it complies.
