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]

Richard L Rockefeller-Silvia

In your comment on the AFD you say "No doubt he fails WP:ATHLETE". If that's true, then how do the comments of User:MetroBioAuthor figure in? Are those non-notable or faked accomplishments? - Mgm|^(talk) 13:46, 9 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.)
