RE: Deleted List of Civil Parishes...

Hello! I tagged it for speedy deletion but couldn't see a specific csd criteria because I knew what the subject was about but it initially seemed like an inexperienced editor trying to create a list of something but stopped in the middle. And because I patrol newpages from the bottom of the list, it had been sitting there for a while which led me to believe that it was, in fact, a test page to learn how to create an article. Cheers!--Sallicio ^{$\color {Red}\oplus$} 00:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The page had been sitting there for a while? A couple of hours at most. I had actually gone to eat having, I thought, put enough on to justify the page remaining until I got back! The page was intended to form part of the subpages to List of civil parishes in England following a chnage in legislation allowing civil parishes to be formed in Greater London. There are none yet, as would be made clear once the page was completed, but they can be added as the situation changes over the ensuing months and years. It could be argued that the page should be left until a civil parish has been established. However, that leaves the list of counties in England incomplete (each other county has a page).

Wyoming County map

Now that I think about it, it would be useful. To tell the truth, I removed it mostly out of convienence (it was easier to paste in the majority of text that was used in every other county). I added the map back to Wyoming, but I can't quite figure out the best place for it. By the way, thanks for adding that pic in the Bradford County list. --D.B.^{talk•contribs} 03:09, 2 January 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Wow, Bradford was just the tip of the iceberg. You've found a lot of photos (even ones for articles that don't exist yet)! I'm going to dust off AWB and evenutally run around adding a county location map to all the county lists, per your suggestion. --D.B.^{talk•contribs} 22:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Legislative Routes

Oops. I did catch errors involving the abbreviations of "street" and "saint" (or at least I thought I got all of them). I belive all kinks are worked out now, but will double check anyways. Thanks for fixing those mistakes :-) --D.B.^{talk•contribs} 03:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC) [reply]

List of RHPs in KS update

Hey i see u noticed my editing in the List of RHPs in KS. I hope u like it. Would u mind filling out the table to get to a total tally for Kansas's counties? Both because I don't want to edit-conflict if u'r doing that already, and I'd like to get on to other states, too. Also you can, better than me, add more of the best photos to drape in a longer column of photos on either side of the table. Cheers, doncram (talk) 21:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Southworth House (Cleveland, Ohio)

On 5 January, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Southworth House (Cleveland, Ohio), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Canyon Diablo, Arizona

Where does it say that it's "standard" to link to United States? Just the opposite, it falls under WP:OVERLINK - don't make links to items that would be familiar to most readers of the article. Colonies Chris (talk) 13:03, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to distinguish between information and links - the information that the place is in the United States is definitely necessary, but the link is valueless - I'd be prepared to bet that no-one has ever clicked on it nor ever will.

And the question of links to 6 January and 2009 is completely different - date fragments like these were only ever linked for autoformatting. which is now deprecated. Colonies Chris (talk) 13:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of historical places/mon county

I'm not sure I agree with your edit that removed all of the listed places in Monongalia County and substituted a link. I don't see how the article can be complete unless the list contains all the items that belong to the list set. Is there a particular policy that led you to delete the historical places in one county, but leave the list for the other 54 counties in West Virginia.

I think a good example of how the larger set should not have a subset deleted would be the List of spacewalks and moonwalks and List of ISS spacewalks. All of the ISS spacewalks are also included in the comprehensive list, as, I believe, they should be.

Looking forward to your response. WVhybrid (talk) 23:51, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, Nyttend. I think I understand why you (and other editors) are splitting out a few counties out of the state list. I'm still not sure I agree. If there is a technical need to keep the list below a certain size, then I certainly have no grounds to object. And of course, my comment wasn't as clear as it could have been. I probably came across more harshly than I intended to appear. Sometimes my writing can be a blunt instrument. If I upset you, that wasn't the intention.

I think my first reaction/comment to your move was based on my perception that 1) the list isn't completely formatted, with some counties tables built and some not, so why break it up, and 2) moving parts of the list to their own articles without moving all the counties to their own articles is a half-way effort. I guess more than anything I'm showing my anal side.... B-)

Have a good evening. WVhybrid (talk) 04:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, User:Nyttend! Just a head's up, that I've added an explanatory response to your Ref Desk query. -- Deborahjay (talk) 12:17, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Further: You did well to suppose, and note, the presumed biblical source, and with some afterthought I'd have to say: were this a similar query about languages I don't happen to know, I'd have been stymied to come up with an answer through a channel other than the Wikipedia Language Ref Desk. That's why I visit it so often for my work as an archives translator, and why I try to help with what I know. You're welcome! -- Deborahjay (talk) 17:48, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

John Frew House, other NRIS info issues

Got ur note at my talk page about ur moving John Frew House, though i am not clear what other mention you are referring to there. I can't really follow all the details myself, but i would appreciate if you would update NRIS info issues with your findings of apparent NRIS/Elkman errors on city/county locations or on other facts. I do want to begin raising those issues with the NPS eventually. Thanks for taking on the Pittsburgh neighborhoods-identification task, etc.! doncram (talk) 19:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia settlements again

I'm going to step back into the fray, I think, and work up some more Virginia geo stubs in the next week or so. Starting with Westmoreland and Richmond Counties, primarily because I have pictures for them. I only bring it up because I might need a bit of backup if the same thing that happened before happens again. --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 20:34, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My nickname

Well spotted ! I did come up with that nickname a long time ago for online roleplaying purposes (when MUDs were all the craze), it's not a name straight out of the Tolkien's world though, I wanted something more unique (turns out I'm not the only one out there after all, according to Google, *grmprf*) so it's a construction out of a "Quenyan" dictionary. I actually forgot what it was supposed to mean, but I have dragged the name around for so many years now it's become my usual nickname :) Equendil Talk 01:00, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Gustavus Cheyney Doane A Non-Notable?

On January 6, you removed the Gustavus Cheyney Doane entry from the Notable residents of Bozeman, Montana. Doane is an extremely notable individual, was assigned to Fort Ellis (essentially Bozeman) for over ten years and is buried in the city.--Mike Cline (talk) 21:36, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bear Lake County, Idaho

Thanks for fixing up the stubs I started yesterday. I have a question maybe you can answer. I changed the county template, adding the communities whose articles I started, but they don't show up in the box on any articles but the new ones. What am I doing wrong? Thmazing (talk) 17:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mediapolis and Bud

The reason that I put this:

"A 333-8 home court record (included home winning streaks of 97, 84, and 66 games)."

Is because it was the Mediapolis High School and team and also related to the town. (Since in small towns like this the teams are the town.)

Councilmaniac is a real term, though I don't understand it enough to know if it was used properly. John Reaves 05:21, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Mission Hills, Kansas

I added four notable (some deceased) residents, which have now been deleted by the revert. I removed two names who are marginally notable/ noteworthy, a golfer and a magazine centerfold. Leaving aside these two people's historical significance, these two names have been reverted and are now present on the page

After the revert, I added back two residents (one living, one deceased) who lived in Mission Hills for many years: Henry Bloch, founder with his brother Richard of H&R Block and Ewing Kauffman who founded Marion Labs, later Hoechst Marion Roussel, now known as Aventis. These two people are (1) Mission Hills residents (Bloch on Wenonga and Kauffman on Mission Drive), and are (2) notable because of the size (both employee count and gross revenue) of the firms they founded.

Looks good! I added a clickable county map. I would knock off a photo from each column to remove all that white space below the table. Also checked and found no delisted sites that need to be added. --D.B.^{talk•contribs} 01:16, 17 January 2009 (UTC) [reply]

There is a tool on the toolserver that helps with making things like clickable maps. Ebyabe explained how to do it a while ago, when another user asked about it, in an archived discussion (which is what I found and learned from). Hope this helps. --D.B.^{talk•contribs} 01:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WV NRHP Listings

On the WV NRHP page, I basically changed the File: inline links to Image: to be consistent. There were some of both types there and I figured that while I was doing the other changes, I'd just make everything consistent. While both work, WP:IMAGE seems to be primarily be using the Image: tag in its examples. Brian Powell (talk) 04:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I still have concerns about the naming of the articles for the NRHP list. WP:NRHP says that "The name of the article should be the current, formal title of the place." To me, that would indicate the listing name should reflect its current official usage. WT:NRHP deals with a slightly variation of the issue but seems to support my position. Thus, Carnifex Ferry State Park should be shown as Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park, the actual official name of the site. There is a new Nicholas County High School - not distinguishing that fact that it is the old NRHP building that was listed just causes confusion. In fact, I had to correct the NCHS article because it implied that the current building was NRHP-listed. Brian Powell (talk) 20:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please see this diff in which I just updated the WP:NRHP passaga to clarify what has been worked out as more specific guidelines. I haven't read up on the edits and/or followed the discussion between the two of you, but it seems there's a difference in understanding of where the NRHP name should be used. It has evolved that the NRHP name is used in lists of NRHPs and in NRHP infoboxes, although article names may differ. Thanks Bmpowell for being very specific in your comment here, so that i could find and update that passage in wp:NRHP. Hope this helps! doncram (talk) 20:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Middle Village citation

The WisDOT State Highway Map is available free of charge from WisDOT by request.[1] Linking to a scanned copy of the map on a private sales website is not a substitute for the real thing. If you persist in reinserting that website as a citation, the article's wording will have to be altered to indicate that the linked .PDF is not a WisDOT publication.

Loudonville and Kettering

By what logic did you remove the more complete reference to Kettering?
In your view, what's wrong with the inclusion of his middle name and his nickname?
Doc – Dr. D.B. "Doc" Rushing – DocRushing (talk) 17:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer on my user-talk page.

Your point is well taken about the direct link.

I did not mean to rock the boat; that was my oversight.

Sorry 'bout that.

Boss Kettering is one of my heroes – because he was such a brilliant and prolific inventor.

He was commonly and affectionately known as Boss.

Provided that I not disturb the direct link, is it OK with you if I restore his full name and nickname?

Since that article appears to be your work, I wish not to tread on your toes.

Thanks.

Doc – DocRushing (talk) 03:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response, which I caught a few minutes ago (after a return after an absence from home).

How may I see your request for a third opinion and any response(s) to it?

Since I'm still a newbie at Wikipedia, I've not discovered how to do so.

New subject: This is not an attempt to quarrel or quibble but rather a sincere request for info: By what reasoning did you suggest that it might be better for me not to use a conventional paragraphing technique in the matter which I post on a user-talk page? More specifically, have I overlooked something in the principles or the guidelines of Wikipedia?

Yes, I realize that most other users do not use paragraphing on talk pages, but I find it useful (as a communication technique) to use paragraphing.

Thanks for your time and trouble.

Doc – DocRushing (talk) 00:19, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another question, please: On 17 January 2009 (in the article about Loudonville, Ohio), I changed the opening words to "Loudonville, Ohio, USA, ..."; the next day you undid my change, referring to your action as a "standardisation". I've looked in the Manual of Style for a requirement for such, but I've not succeeded in finding one. If that is a prescribed standard, where, please, can I find it? Thanks.

FYI I reverted your change, take a look at the photo and the sign on the building. It could be reworded of course. dm (talk) 22:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I like your rewording and of course, the reference, thanks. As to the Unknown/No Style listed, I've been removing those from the hundreds (thousands) of nrhp/nhl articles I've edited. I personally dont feel it adds much to the infobox to pass on that someone checked the "no style listed" checkbox. We should bring this to the nrhp page to see what the other editors think... dm (talk) 22:42, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

chuckle

at one of the best AfD comments I've seen in a while :) As a Giants fan, and with the Dirty Birds handled, I officially don't care who wins, but I had to laugh. StarM 04:15, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

and yet one someone felt the need to re-factor.. Weird wiki world! StarM 04:39, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. I think the two Bengals I can name are Boomer, who I grew up watching and Ocho Cinco, who everyone thinks will be the Giants' saviour. I disagree, but that's neither here nor there. The Giants/Bengals game was the only one I missed this season -- and with good reason, I was at the last game at Yankee Stadium. Back in October or so -- either the week of the Giants/Steelers game or thereabouts, I said the AfC would go through Pittsburgh -- they've just got one hell of a team. Have a good night!

Poplar Hill

There are three other NRHP listings with an identical name. When I come across situations like this as I build tables, I'm in the habit of dab-bing all occurrences in other NRHP list articles. This way, if someone uses the lists to create new articles, they'll know that the titles should be disambiguated. --sanfranman59 (talk) 05:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kachemak page move

We need to talk about this. I know Wikipedia has an anti-expert philosophy and all, but I think I can safely consider myself an expert on this subject as I have lived in the area for the last 10 years, and have never, ever heard anyone refer to the "city of Kachemak". Lest you think I am engaging in original research, here are some examples in the local press [2] [3][4]. My understanding of naming conventions for pages is that they should be the most common name that a person looking for information would use, whether it is the "proper" name or not, and the common name in this case is "Kachemak City". That is sometimes the problem with these articles created solely with census data, there is no "flavor" to them, just raw population data. Take Kachemak City's neighbor Miller Landing, Alaska. This is a Census Designated Place, but in ten years I have never heard of this either. Locals would call this the east end near Kachemak drive and not consider it a separate settlement, (I actually laughed quite a bit when I ran across that one) but since the census says it is it has it's own page. There's no sign anywhere in that area that says it "Miller Landing," there's not a separate zip code or anything, but there it is anyway... At the same time there are three Old Believer villages another twenty or so miles down the same road, and they aren't considered separate settlements by the census, so they are all lumped into Fox River, Alaska, even though there is not an actual settlement by that name, just a river. Anyway, I think it would be appropriate to change it back, but I wanted to discuss it with you first. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Middlesex County, MA Historic Places

I manually counted the unnumbered places in the remaining towns and then added them. Pretty primitive. I may have made a mistake, but I thought my counting was fairly accurate. Feel free to add your number if you feel it is more accurate. Regardless of the precise number, Mass' total should be on the NRHP chart because it has the second most NRHPs of any state. Thanks for double checking. Swampyank (talk) 16:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alaska

I think your article naming plans sound fine, at least to me as a non-Alaskan. For an Alaskan perspective, the one Alaskan-wikipedian that i know has worked on some NRHP articles is LeheckaG. He had worked on some Ohio NRHP articles, may or may not actually have worked on Alaska ones, but has Alaskan roots and/or current residence there. So i suggest you check if he has opinions on the borough and city names. Any which way, you can create the articles and let them be renamed, eventually, later. Glad you're moving on to new states. I am bogged down in finishing out List of RHPs in AZ currently; i am making myself cross-check all the old list items living at the bottom of its list-articles before moving on to a new state. Cheers, doncram (talk) 19:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that I know absolutely nothing about Alaskan geography, so I can't be of much help. I don't see anything overtly wrong with your plan. I agree with Don. Go ahead and create the articles. They can always be renamed later if someone comes along with a better idea. Thanks for all your hard work on the lists. --sanfranman59 (talk) 05:01, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What u've done for Alaska looks great, both the Navigation template and the articles. I like your adding the maps showing each borough's location in the state. I've breeze thru first 15 of the 29, just taking a quick look and adding to wikiprojs. Haven't clicked on many of the Google map links, but checking the one for National Register of Historic Places listings in Fairbanks North Star Borough, Alaska makes apparent some discrepancies of coordinates for 3 sites in that one. Perhaps u want to fix those with correct coords, or comment out the bad ones. Or perhaps those are sites which belong in a different borough. Anyhow, great looking work! doncram (talk) 03:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. With 407 NRHP listings apparently, i see Alaska fails to beat out ND with 405 for lowest number. I did ND just becasue i guessed it was the easiest/shortest one to do. :) doncram (talk) 03:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grrr! that u dusted off a few more for List of RHPs in ND, bringing it up to 409. :( Well, that shurely does beat all. I am really surprised that Alaska, ranked 14th on NHLs among states and Washington D.C., having 48 of them, would, on lowest NRHP count, beat out North Dakota, ranked 51st out of 51 states and D.C. on NHLs. I guess the entirely separate National Park Service district office for Alaska must have been focussin on quality rather than quantity. Who would thunk?

Copyright issue possible for Birnik site and other NHL pics

I noticed a credit apparently due for a NHL pic. Not sure if you are aware that not all National Park Service website pics are public domain. About that, see Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places#some but not all National Park Service photos are public domain. To raise the issue, I hope you don't mind i just started up a deletion process. See deletion process for this photo at Commons.Wikimedia.org. Perhaps that was not the right way to raise it, but i hope you don't mind. Let's just sort it out there.

Thanks for reverting WP:UNDUE material. Good call I thought. Wondered what to do with it until I got to your edit! Lot of "joint" stuff in Vermont (& other places I suppose) that has no article in itself. This, I guess is one of them. The Montpelier graduate school, if I understand correctly, is a joint enterprise of the University of Vermont, the largest univ in Vermont and this Union Institute that I never heard of before. Probably should be de-linked. Shouldn't be the smaller school though. That is just chutzpah! Student7 (talk) 01:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rhoda Nohlechek House location

Hi NY ... Just a heads up that I've removed the Rhoda Nohlechek House from the Maricopa County NRHP list. I actually removed it the other day but since you added it back in, I'm leaving this note to explain my actions. The NRIS has the wrong county on this one. Wenden is in La Paz County and the address of the house is at least 10 miles (as the crow flies) from the Maricopa County border. Incidentally, the NRIS also has Curtis Cottage in Maricopa, but it's actually in Yavapai County (Prescott). I also transferred that listing to the correct county.

Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to List of former Christian Science churches, societies and buildings, did not appear to be constructive and has been corrected. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Bad edits

The Elmore, Ohio page on Wikipedia is increasingly inaccurate due to the edits of this user. Hi intentions are good... most edits are made because they are formatted incorrectly. However, this user has made some repeated edits that go against actual fact and no longer allows any edits made by users other than himself. He has also made a point of calling important contributions of the community as silliness.

Using the wikipedia guidelines as a shield to mask a power trip is not the way for an accurate and complete (in the relative manner that Wikipedia ever can be complete) resource to be built.

When you are right, Nyttend, you are right. But please consider... you aren't always right.
