Hello

Hello. I noticed that you made comments about Lousville about mine. I do not have any hard feelings toward you, and I hope that I have not upset you. I was a bit confused about the situation (even after reading some of the archives) and I just requested assistance. I am sorry if I have caused problems. Ajwebb 21:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It's not personal. I just thought it would be beneficial to read all the archives concerning this situation before reheating the debate again. Besides, the article already addresses the point that Louisville is either 16th or 26th, depending upon the perspective. And indeed, the Louisville article is about the consolidated city, not the balance, which is covered by a separate article. In short, people who are residents in the interior cities are also residents of Louisville; they vote for two mayors and so forth. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 21:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It may not be personal, but show your disagreement with a little more respect because on another talk page, I precieved your responsee to my proposal as an "attack" as well. --Moreau36 21:59, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

It's clear that you have a particularly thin skin, and there's not much way I accommodate this kind of request. I was straight and to the point, and that's the way I always will be. Capisce? —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 03:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Why are you accusing me of having a thin skin, Stevie? because, quite frankly, I was nowhere near angry, just aking a question and saying my opinion, Can I at least state my opininon without offending you? (once again I'm not being angry, just asking you a question) --Moreau36 21:13, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Because you are very easily offended, that's why. I am not offended in the least--I laugh at your hijinks. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 21:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

One, I'm not that offended at all, besides, I really don't care what others think of me because I went through that early in life and learned a very valuable lesson about "pleasing others" and two, "laugh at my hijinks"? I don't get it. --Moreau36 21:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Oversensitivity is a passive-aggressive approach used in discussion sometimes, and I've noted your occasional use of it. I laugh at that approach. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 22:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Oversensitivity. Far from it. --Moreau36 02:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

"The Ville"

How is U of L not refered to as "The Ville"? Is there not a "Welcome to the 'Ville" poster on the silos? I have and have saw many people wear "The vill" shirts on campus. 65.138.71.135 21:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

That's the beauty of Wikipedia. If you think I'm wrong, change it back. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 21:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that the phrase "The Ville" is used to describe the University of Louisville athletic teams.

The phrase was originated by former Louisville basketball player Poncho Wright during the run to the team's 1980 national championship.

The University of Louisville's Athletic Department currently markets its teams and sells merchandise containing "The Ville".

As a former Louisville student-athlete and spouse of a former member of its Athletic Deportment, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of this.

Have a great weekend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimsimo (talk • contribs)

Thanks. Make sure you provide a source for that in the article in case somebody else who hasn't heard of that (or can't remember) challenges it again. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 19:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Bob Edwards edit

I noticed on this edit you removed Category:Living people from Bob Edwards. Why? By the way, it was re-added today by another editor. --rogerd 18:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

For a short period of time, I was under the impression it was a superfluous/joke category. I must've forgotten to revert some of the changes I made in that regard. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 23:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. Yea, it does seem kind of a dumb category, but Jimbo thinks it is needed. --rogerd 00:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Rail Trail

Do you have any information regarding the K&I Bridge's conversion (auto lanaes) to a rail trail? I can't find any information for that for the rail trails page. Thanks! Seicer (talk) 23:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't know of any central resource for the upcoming changes to the Big Four Bridge. You could conduct a search on the LouisvilleKY.gov site, but the information is quite scattered. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 14:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Louisville Science Center

Hello Stevietheman, This is Janet L. Boyd, Special Projects Manager at the Louisville Science Center. I recently edited the Science Center entry becuase it had incorrect information and I decided to expand the information while I was at it. I would appreciate it if you could let me know why the entry was removed. I assure you it is not a copyright violation as your note suggested. I have just now corrected the previous name of the Science Center in the entry that is currently posted. I hope that will be left intact. Please reply to my email address (Janet.Boyd@louivilleky.gov), if you don't mind. Thanks, Janet —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JanetLBoyd (talk • contribs) 09:20, July 20, 2006 (UTC)

The text read as if copied from a potentially copyrighted source. I have learned over two years of editing Wikipedia how to spot these kind of violations. Are you testifying that the material you added is your own writing? —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 05:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, I don't respond to people's email addresses, as I believe all conversations about articles generally need to stay here in the Wikipedia. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 05:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to butt into your talk page Stevie, but I'd like to try to clarify a bit. The article posted by Boyd does seem to have been copied and pasted from http://www.louisvillescience.org/about.shtml. Wikipedia articles must be released under the GFDL, which means (basically) that they can be freely modified/redistributed and even sold... so when it's copied from a page that claims a copyright (as this page does) it's a matter of course to remove the copied version. Anyway, if you'd like to release it into the GFDL (and have the authority to do so) great, but it will need to be rewritten to be more consistant with the style and tone of other Wikipedia articles. This can seem a bit bewildering, I'm sure, but Stevie removed the copyrighted version for a perfectly good reason. --W.marsh 21:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for butting in.  :) You, as always, are much better than me at dealing with these kinds of matters. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 21:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

EXPLAIN YOURSELF

I don't understand why you continue to redirect web application to weblication. Please explain yourself. If I don't hear from you within a week, I will be reverting the page back to the original definition that was posted.

Signed, MediaResearcher

Because "web application" equals "weblication". They are the same thing. Further, your approach here with "EXPLAIN YOURSELF" is rather nasty, don't you think? —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 21:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, weblication redirects to web application, not the reverse, as you state. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 21:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Supper club fire

Just to let you know, I reversed your edit to the Supper Fire article, it looks like you may have accidentally deleted the remainder of the article. --LBMixPro^{<Speak|on|it!>} 03:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. Thank you. Wikipedia occasionally has this glitch where it wipes out a bottom portion of an article before I submit my changes. Cheers! —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 03:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I happened to notice this exchange. I had the same problem and it turns out to be caused by a combination of Firefox and the Google Toolbar (see this bugzilla report). Apparently there is a new release of the Google Toolbar that has fixed this bug according to the bugzilla report. I deinstalled the Google Toolbar and will now download and re-install the new version. Are you a Firefox and Google Toolbar user? --rogerd 03:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Indeed I am. I'll go ahead and install the new version. Thanks for the info! —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 04:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

CheNuevara's RfA

Stevie, regarding your oppose to CheNuevara, while I don't begrudge someone for opposing, I'm not sure it's fair to do so in this circumstance just on his number of edits. His response to the DU situation and his responses to questions indicate (at least to me) that he is anything but a newbie. I'd humbly request your reconsideration.--Kchase T 07:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

If someone doesn't meet my minimum requirements, and this person doesn't meet them by a mile, then I believe it is unwarranted to look at any additional information. Also, you're asking somebody with over 9,000 main space edits who isn't an admin to support somebody with just over 300--this is frankly an unnerving proposition. But I have to say that by his early activities it is evident that this individual will be suitable at a later time, but in my opinion, not today. Cheers! —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 07:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reconsidering, Stevie.--Kchase T 07:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

somebody with over 9,000 main space edits who isn't an admin Are you waiting for someone to nominate you?--Kchase T 08:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

More or less. But I'm not sure I'd pass muster due to several conflicts with other editors, plus being blocked for a 3RR a year and a half ago. Also, I don't want to self-nom, as that goes against my grain. The most important thing is that I'm not sure I have the time to do a lot of admin-like work right now. Since June, I've been trying to build up WikiProject Louisville, and that has been taking up a lot of my Wikipedia time. If I were an admin, I'd probably act more like a project coordinator who concentrated more on building a great reference than doing the administrivia of things like closing xfD's and dealing with vandals. —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 15:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

my RfA

Thanks for your opinions in my RfA. Ultimately, the request did not pass, with a vote of (43/16/7). But your honest opinion was appreciated and I'll just keep right on doing what I do. Maybe I'll see ya around -- I'll be here!
Cheers! - CheNuevara 17:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I like the way this thing looks
