Lafayette, Madison County, Ohio

You wrote that Lafayette was laid out by a "William Mnter". I assume that "Mnter" is a typo...could you fix it? Nyttend (talk) 00:53, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, checked the atlas again, it's supposed to be Minter... fixing now... - Adolphus79 (talk) 04:54, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I've not before seen it; when I first saw it, I thought it was the printed volume you were using when you wrote about William Mnter. Looks like quite the find! Nyttend (talk) 04:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the 1875 atlas I used was the printed version... PC library had a copy... I'm gonna try to make it down to London tomorrow, and see if they have any other atlases / gazettes... I'm gonna strive to get a few of my community articles past stub... the link I just gave you was a different book, the 1854 gazetteer... the 1875 was just Madison county, the 1854 is all of the US... - Adolphus79 (talk) 05:06, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I've never before heard of a utility company with nine customers; that's quite the find :-) Nyttend (talk) 15:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm finding all kinds of great & useless information while searching Google books for atlases / histories of Ohio/Madison County/Union County... I laughed when I read that, then immediately added it to the article... - Adolphus79 (talk) 15:48, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

User rights

Being granted the autopatroller user right changes nothing for you. It changes things for me.

Autopatroller was added pretty much to make things easier for me, because apparently I'm the one who does more NPP than anyone else.

It means a) Adolphus79 can be trusted to know what he's doing when he creates new pages, they don't need to be approved by a human, and b) Adolphus79 does this often enough that it's more efficient to just mark everything he creates as approved by default. DS (talk) 12:33, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I know what it's for and how it works... I was thanking you just the same... It's just not every day that you have rights randomly given... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:26, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Battle Of Armagideon album Lee 'Scratch' Perry credit updates

Hi there,

It was brought to my attention that the wikipedia entry for this album was slightly mis-credited. I updated the credits earlier today, but found the updates deleted this evening. I have now updated the credits once more.

The album credits are clearly legible on the original album sleeve notes, and as I was closely involved in the recording and production, as well as the design of this record, I am perfectly qualified to make these updates.

I would appreciate it if you would allow these updates to remain, as they are now accurate as to the personnel involved in the project.

I am not a crank or hoaxer wishing to take false credit, as a cursory glance at the original sleeve notes will confirm.

Thank you.

No worries... like I said originally, if you could just reference your changes... by your username I figured you knew what you were talking about, and not just a prankster, which is why I left the message on your talk page... the content can stay for now, but I have made a few minor coding/MOS changes... thank you for the information, and feel free to let me know if you ever need help in the future... - Adolphus79 (talk) 21:34, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

please not put that templates because i post links on page too!!!!!sporting clube da praia seasons — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.65.194.11 (talk • contribs)

The maintenance templates have been restored once again... If you read the templates that are on the page, you will understand why... the templates have nothing to do with a lack of references, but with the fact that there is no lead paragraph or inline citations... Please do not remove them again unless these issues have been resolved... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:17, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Requesting oversight

Hi there. As I mentioned at WP:ANI I blanked your request for oversight and forwarded it on to the oversighters' mailing list. It has since been oversighted. The reason I did this was because, until oversighting occurs, the goal is to minimize the amount of attention the page gets. That means reverting the page with a generic message and quietly sending the request directly to oversighters through the means specified by WP:RFO. Posting on ANI is likely to draw attention which is undesirable. Anyway, it's been dealt with, and thanks for bringing it up. If you have any questions let me know. --Mpdelbuono (talk) 19:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I didn't even think about that... I have made a couple requests before via ANI, but will take to RFO in the future... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Rap Rebirth

Hi Adolphus. Thanks for helping me out with the Rap Rebirth article. I'm adding references to it now so I'd like a few minutes before you add the speedy delete tag (aka the wiki kiss of death). Thanks. (By the way, big fan of your work, keep doing what you do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sochill33 (talk • contribs) 01:52, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I have replaced the CSD template with a prod... This gives you 7 days to build your article... I ask that you please do not remove the prod yourself... I will keep an eye on the article, and help with minor coding, formatting, grammar, etc... feel free to let me know if you need any help with anything... - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Appreciations...

For THIS, I thank you. I'll be adding more as I am able. Best, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:14, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

No problem... like I said in the AfD, I've been fighting with myself over that article for the last 2 months... I'm glad that bringing it to the attention of the rest of the community helped the article grow, you've done a great job on it... - Adolphus79 (talk) 15:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks. If you come across other such, feel free to bring them to my attention. I'm happy to help be proactive before AFDs as well. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:03, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

There are many on my watchlist that are in need of rescue / a lot of work...

• A.Y.P. Garnett - has been under discussion since it's creation (via edit summaries)... is copied almost word for word from a source that is in the public domain... could also use a few more refs...
• Ajay Mahajan - survived an AfD, but needs expansion using the new found refs at it's AfD...
• Chris Rager - one of many voice actors employed by FUNimation Entertainment, about a dozen or so total... most are close to going to AfD due to lack of notability, lack of references, etc.
• Corky Evans - an article that's been on my watchlist for a while, but I never got around to working on... a member of the Canadian parliament, yet the article is completely unsourced...

That's just the first few I got too, there's probably a good couple dozen biographies that are in need of help... and a few dozen non-bio articles also... and you may always feel free to take a look at my articles... - Adolphus79 (talk) 03:27, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Facepalm listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Facepalm. Since you had some involvement with the Facepalm redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Cnilep (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

C M Eddy Jr

I have a few items that might be useful. This is my first 5 minutes on wikipedia and I would never begin to "touch" anything. However, I keep most of these CM Eddy items on my Lovecraft blog: www.chrisperridas.blogspot.com. Or I can email them, etc. -Chris Perridas.

You have a few items on your personal blog? Are these items of original research, or links to reliable sources? Please feel free to give me a link to something from a reliable source, as I am always interested in expanding an article... - Adolphus79 (talk) 17:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

2008 Sutphen Pumper

Hello i was just curious what and where you took the picture of the 2008 Sutphen pumper you have on the Sutphen Page. Any info would be appreicated.

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.57.131.2 (talk) 18:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, if you are inquiring about this image, it was photographed by myself, at the Plain City, Ohio fire department. It is one of their engines. If you need further details about the engine, I could probably get them for you, but that is all the information about it I have at the moment. Is there a particular bit of information you would like? - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:01, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Sasata (submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Hunter Kahn (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Fetchcomms (submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.

Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Strict enforcement of civility

Hi Adolphus, I know that you in the incivility block proposal you commented on a problem that happened to you where a troll came along and made your life fairly miserable. I believe you were concerned that blocks should be strictly carried out. Now I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but there is some proposed text here that you might want to give us some feedback on. If you're interested, please feel free! - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) ^talk 14:10, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment on List of wineries in Ohio

Hi Adolphus. I left a comment on the "List of wineries in Ohio" page. The fix you suggested was part of previous versions of the article, but was removed awhile back as a linkfarm violation. Should I add them back in anyway? Thanks. Catbar (talk) 03:32, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
