Cataract Falls Covered Bridge

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I've created an article requested at Wikipedia:Requested articles#Images needing articles from a photograph you took of the Cataract Falls Covered Bridge (in case you wish to add/edit/remove something). Cheers ~ ~ benzband (talk) 23:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

State Line KY postmark

Hey Nyttend- I was FINALLY able to get a good scan and posted the image to the article. Sorry about the delay.Coal town guy (talk) 02:57, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Frantz's Bridge again

Sorry to be so confusing and sorry that I made a mistake - I could not access CRGIS yesterday and I somehow got mixed up and thought this was not part of the PennDOT multiple bridges on the NRHP TR listing. I have uploaded the photo to Commons and placed it in the Frantz's Bridge article. I only have limited internet access this week, so sorry this took me until now. I do like the pictures of the cabins at Kooser State Park you added today. Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are very welcome. I am not sure what the new Laurel Hill State Park picture is from you though, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 04:07, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation of the Laurel Hill photo (and sorry not to reply before). I checked with User:KLOTZ (on Commons) and he did not have a picture of Frantz's Bridge. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

N.R. art colony

FYI, I deleted New Rochelle art colony, the speedy deletion of which you had earlier declined.

Your rationale "seems to be a decent article" is an apt description of the vast majority of this banned user's work -- with emphasis on the word "seems". Investigation generally reveals a variety of issues: that the cited sources don't actually support the content, that the content is a copyvio of some other source that was (conveniently) not cited, and/or that the "sources" are online content created and disseminated by the banned user. I suspect, but I have not bothered to try to prove, that he personally invented the notion of a "New Rochelle art colony".

A lot of Wikipedia content is kept merely because it "seems to be decent", but that kind of AGF-based rationale should not apply when dealing with a user with a long-term record of trying to foist off misrepresentations. --Orlady (talk) 14:35, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

COPNI

Hi Nyttend,

There are probably half a dozen governmental offices that create accounts that promote what they do. The name is an abbreviation of the commission WP:ORGNAME and they are promoting what they do (I think what they are doing is good, but we don't promote what governments or businesses do). The user account name also suggest shared use, which is against policy. Almost all accounts that violate promotional user names also violate WP:ISU, but I always tag them with for promotional accounts. For me personally, I just hate to see Wikipedia uses promotionally and to maintain neutrality, I tag all users who use promotional names--I am One of Many (talk) 17:12, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Categories and the Hub

Thanks for the note re. renaming Commons categories. That'll undoubtedly be a real help at some point in the future. Luckily, the category whose misspelling Doncram caught didn't have all that many files in it; but one of these days I'll discover that I've just uploaded fifty or sixty files and put them in [[Category:Smith-Jones Historic Distirct]].

I read the Hub when I'm in Kearney, and occasionally send them a letter-to-the-editor. Their state, national international coverage is fairly minimal, and I rely on the Omaha World-Herald for that sort of thing. Mostly, I read the Hub to keep up with local news. I'm not much of a sports enthusiast, so I can't really comment on that section. Hope your friend enjoys it; I like Kearney myself, but it might be a bit of a shock for someone who's lived in major urban areas all his life. Ammodramus (talk) 10:27, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pomeranian architecture

Hi, I posted a link at ref desk which may (?) answer the question. It is to a book with a chapter on pomeranian architecture. I hope it helps. Capitalismojo (talk) 03:10, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Goodland and WebM

I'd seen the "Thou shalt not park here" sign somewhere before, maybe it was in Goodland (not so far from Lafayette). Or maybe it just has something to do with midwestern church humor vs. the east coast version. I won't even start in on meetinghouse humor.

AS far as WebM, I'd thought that the WMF techies had it all set up (silly me). Ruhrfisch said that it didn't work on one of his computers but did work on another. I'll suggest this page http://www.webmproject.org/users/#supported_web_browsers which shows that most newer browsers support it automatically, but with Windows IE 9 and later requires some downloads of components.

I'd first check it out on another computer to see if it works for you there. More later but keep me informed. BTW what do you see where the video is in the article before you click the start arrow? Smallbones_(smalltalk) 22:29, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've certainly been on US 41/52 not so far away, as well as on I-65. Yes, even in Watseka, Il and I got lost in Rensselaer, Indiana, though I remember thinking that this shouldn't be possible in such a small town. You are seeing what you're supposed before hitting the go triangle. I'll ask Fabrice Florin at WMF if there is a magic solution, other than buying a new computer. BTW, go with a Mac, you'll never regret the switch. All the best. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 01:08, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Australian mobile phone companies/doc

Hi Nyttend, I wanted to ask why you declined a G6 on Template:Australian mobile phone companies/doc. It may be old, but if it's redirecting to another template's main page, that seems just plain wrong. Another editor at RfD agreed. It looked like a no-brainer G6 to me. Shouldn't this be deleted to make room for proper documentation? --BDD (talk) 15:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mars Case

I don't understand the reference to off-wiki conduct that you included in your statement about my arbitration request having to do with Mars. That case is entirely about tendentious editing and personal attacks on talk pages. (It is true that one editor was attacking another editor based partly on his off-wiki posts, but the attacks were on article talk pages.) Was your comment intended for another case? Robert McClenon (talk) 01:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that was what happened. My case may be declined, because the arbitrators appear to be thinking that there are other dispute resolution vehicles to be considered first, but, as you can see, it has to do with disruptive editing of Wikipedia. No offense taken. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:57, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Taking pictures

A picture that you took has helped a lot for an article that I started, Gene Stratton-Porter Cabin (Rome City, Indiana). Excellent. SL93 (talk) 22:50, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eliot Hall

Regarding this matter, it's been over a month since you posted that notice, and I find no evidence that anyone has contacted the school. (Then again, a perfectly suitable replacement has turned up, in my opinion.) All the best, – Quadell ^(talk) 20:00, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I meant File:Eliot-hall-in-snow.jpg. At least, it seems like a good enough replacement in my book. But anyway, it's your call. – Quadell ^(talk) 21:11, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. And now that I look at Commons, I see we have File:EliotHallReedCollege.jpg as well. – Quadell ^(talk) 21:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Duckworth RfC/ANI

It looks like you un-closed the RfC so that you could add your opinion to it. I would have hoped that you'd simply reopen the RfC – and then stay out of it. Oh-well. – S. Rich (talk) 04:30, 2 August 2013 (UTC) [reply]

'What does that mean?'

It means we use {{Contains Indic text}} for {{Infobox language/Indic}}; {{Infobox language/nonotice}} is not used at all (it was for fallback); a navbox is used in place of {{Infobox language/signnotice}}. Can we get them deleted now? — Lfdder (talk) 09:00, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Sergiu Cristian Popovici‎

I'd like you to reconsider your evaluation of this article. You say that there were substantive contributions by Ostasul (talk · contribs) and Cocorescu (talk · contribs). Cocorscu's edit was formatting, and Ostasul's added one sentence. I don't really see how that constitutes a substantial contribution to the article. On top of that, I suspect that Ostasul is also a sockpuppet. His first few edits were all to articles created by HIDECCHI2013 (talk · contribs), who created Sergiu Cristian Popovici, and it wouldn't be the first time Cyperuspapyrus (talk · contribs) used sleeper accounts. Thanks in advance. Sir Sputnik (talk) 04:46, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move Duckworth RfC to BLPN

Hello. You are one of 6 or 7 Admins who has supported including DOB info in the Duckworth article: Talk:Tammy Duckworth#RfC on providing full date of birth. Yesterday I proposed moving the discussion to the BLPN so that we could get a policy determination on this and thereby avoid such prolonged and repeated discussions on article talk pages. In the last few comments I haven't seen a positive to my proposal. Would you care to opine on moving the discussion? (I am posting this message to each of the admins.) Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 02:53, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Talk:Granada Theater (Kansas City, Kansas)

It's a bit of a mess. Any help appreciated. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 16:36, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. I was just freaking out over 1 article that was about 2 different theaters :-) Emporia is just a stub, but the way forward is now clear. Thanks. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 18:55, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Do you mind merging this page history with the actual article as well, considering this is where it was originally at? CaptainAssassin is under investigation for disruptive page relocation. This was another example. This is what were discussing about him. Rusted AutoParts 23:34, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please do that? He unnecessarily moved it. It should be merged. You know what he is like. this was here first. Rusted AutoParts 23:28, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to have a shadow

As you can figure, me and The Rambling Man don't get along. Anyway, yesterday he began tagging all these town and city articles as you are well aware of. TRM began tagging articles notable people sections yesterday afternoon beginning with Two Rivers, Wisconsin. He did this for I think is a total of 28 articles over a half hour, the last of which was Yreka, California. He then began doing town articles again about 10 hours. If you stop at Bear Creek, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, and check their page histories you'll notice one thing in common. I was the last editor to work the articles(before TRM) or the next to last in about 5 or 6 of all the articles from Two Rivers to Outagamie. Why was he only doing articles I worked on? Is it coincidence or possibly a form of wikihounding? Just asking for your opinion. I'm sure TRM will chime in. FYI I mentioned this last night in an off wiki email to another editor here. My concerns about having a shadow aren't based on today's accusations by TRM but predate them. Will provide you the email if requested....William 23:23, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I count 46 specious tags inserted by The Rambling Man (See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Tagfest for complete list). Of those, 34 were the next edit after an edit by WilliamJE; 3 were edits of articles that WJE had edited, but not the next edit after WJE; and 9 were of articles that WilliamJE never edited. You might want to check my math. 70.235.85.119 (talk) 00:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not going to double check your math. A cursory glance makes me believe your figures are close if not right on target. I know he did others but after over 25-30 in a row of being connected to my own edit history. How did I know TRM is working on these articles or TFD for Famous? I saw a bunch of my edits without a current next to them and I do participate in TFDs and regularly check if there are any to chime in on.

Cleaning up notable people sections or starting new ones all together, creating 'People from' categories and then filling them up are some of my most common edits here at Wikipedia.(Besides work on golf and aviation articles, cleaning up See also sections, and making sure articles are in WP:ORDER. Nyttend is from Ohio and he may have noticed my making 'People from ______, Ohio categories'. I've done 20 to 25(Celina, Ashland, Washington Court House, East Liverpool, Circleville, Salem, Damascus, Fostoria to name a few) of those. Rule of thumb for me making those categories- Eight or more are from the town, village, or city or the location is in more than one county.

This is my last edit of the night. Its past 9 pm in the part of Florida I reside in and I have to be awake in eight hours....William 01:19, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

HELP

Hey Nyttend, the edits here Allegheny County PA have caused all of the Unincorporated communities and footnotes to not display in the template of the county itself. I cant see why not, could you look and see why? It looks like the time period of Tonythre tiger???? OR could you show me how to fix it??Coal town guy (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I saved to an earlier version by you, whoever came in after you has not done alot afterwards. I was (gasp) bold. Otherwise, the template was crippled and many articles and footnotes were not displayedCoal town guy (talk) 14:01, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
