Lori Swanson

I see that you've locked down the edit war on the Lori Swanson page. Please note that IP 213.146.164.142 has contributed information to the Swanson entry that is neutral in tone, and which offers citations to the Star Tribune (Minnesota's largest newspaper), and MinnPost (Minnesota's most important online news source). There are no unsubstantiated positions taken in those edits. The only problem, so far as I can see, is that one or two users are determined to suppress the information contributed to this page - all of which has been documented in the Minnesota media. Respectfully, I ask that you allow the information to be restored. There is nothing factually ambiguous here; it's all solid.


Length of time on Wikipedia

Hi there! I'm just wondering how I can find out how long I've been a member of Wikipedia on my account.. is there an easy way? :) also, forgive if I stuff up the signature thing here: jtact (talk) 17:32, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Burris image

Please, look at the deletion page. It seems that you misunderstood me. :-) Cassandro (talk) 18:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like I did, and that we are substantially in agreement. Thank you. Jonathunder (talk) 18:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Roland Burris

The photograph is in the public domain, if you looked at Burris' personal website as well as the US Senate's. I'm afraid bias is not good on the part of an administrator, as this photograph is obviously the one being used by all sources taken seriously. Why don't you quit trying to say it's "not a free image," because it if wasn't why is the US Senate using it and why is it popping up all over the internet? Hero of Time 87 (talk) 20:14, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for saying this, but screw all of you. You prove it's not in the public domain. If we're using other Senate photographs, there's no reason we shouldn't be using this one. I'm not going to waste my time trying to make the article look better, just let it look like a tourist snapshot. See how many people take that article seriously when it looks like someone just took a throwaway camera and snapped a photo of him on his way to an airport. You have no power to block me because I've done nothing wrong other than upload a photograph that is perfectly legal to use and is being used by every serious source in the media. So sorry, but I'm done with this encyclopedia ruled by a mob of unintelligent people. This encyclopedia is viewed by skepticism by almost every single university professor and can't even be used as a source according to them because of how shoddy articles like this one look.

There is a section on the talk page about the mausoleum/tombstone and it's relevancy. Please look at it. Cassandro (talk) 18:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thank you for the pictures that you took of Historic Places in Wisconsin. It's been a big help. I live too far across Wisconsin to do pictures that far away. Your help is appreciated! Royalbroil 00:33, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the nice words. I have a few more I took this weekend which I hope to process and upload tonight. Jonathunder (talk) 01:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I did a road trip on Sunday too! Such beautiful weather - I had to drive the back roads to see what's off the beaten path on the other side of the state. I didn't have a route preplanned so I didn't get many registered historic places. I mainly got (31) pictures of city's welcome signs, downtowns, schools, etc. I luckily drove past Taliesin (studio) and the Mount Horeb Mustard Museum. On Saturday I had been in a totally different direction for some ice races and I caught a few small incorporated communities that I hadn't visited before. There will soon be one new stub article for a community. Royalbroil 03:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thank you for the links! Cardweaver (talk) 01:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Igor Panarin

Regarding the non-free images; there is discussion at Talk:Igor Panarin. -download | sign! 20:36, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Jonathan Thunder, please show some respect to my efforts. Don't simply delete everything I add! OK, I agree that there is a problem, so I just put an "improper license" template because the "db-noncom" template didn't work in Commons. Plus, there is a relevant explanation and licensing information I've added in English and Russian (don't delete it anymore, please!). Hopefully someone will resolve the issue as you obviously don't have administrator's rights in the Commons, otherwise you would have deleted the image much earlier. As I stated and confirmed, I will consent such a deletion but I don't agree my editing to be just removed. Thanks for your understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Лъчезар (talk • contribs) 17:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since you deleted this as much as 3 times, now I have a favour to ask of you. Please check the image commons:file:Panarin.jpg I just uploaded and let me know whether you have objections against it, or against the idea in general. The drawing can certainly be better and I could enhance it. I'm primarily interested whether you think that it's eligible for deletion this time too, or you will leave it alone at last. Thank you for your attention. Лъчезар (talk) 08:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help

Hello Jonathunder. I noticed your note on Calvin's talk page which directed me to your user page. I see that you are able to write English at professional level. I have worked on another article on another Reformation figure Martin Bucer which is in serious need of a copy-edit. Would you be able to help? As I will continue to filter for errors, even a light copy-edit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. --RelHistBuff (talk) 21:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to do a basic copy edit as soon as time permits, though I am not expert in the subject matter. Jonathunder (talk) 21:41, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks! A basic copy edit when you are free would be fine. My English is not the best (I am non-anglophone, but really no excuse as I got an English education), so corrections of some my major errors would be great. --RelHistBuff (talk) 08:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On first read, it is excellent and your English is perfectly ideomatic. I saw little to nothing needed in the way of copyedit beyond, perhaps, a comma or two. Great work. Jonathunder (talk) 14:05, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. Strange, though. Someone on the FAC page had said that there are "tons of awkward or malformed sentences". I will ask him to point out where are those "tons". Thanks again. --RelHistBuff (talk) 14:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hans Hansen Bergen

Hello, I noticed you'd taken an interest in the Hans Hansen Bergen page. I've made some more contributions, and will continue to add, time permitting. Many folks assume he was Dutch, but he was most certainly not! :-) Take care and regards, MarmadukePercy (talk) 21:07, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hans Hansen Bergen doesn't ring a bell, I don't see my name in the revision history, and the article was not on my watchlist. But it is an interesting article, so I will add it now. Thanks. Jonathunder (talk) 22:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Måns Nilsson Kling and Mauno Kling

REGARDING:

  1. Måns Nilsson Kling

Måns Nilsson Kling was the second governor of the 17th century New Sweden settlement, which was administrated from Fort Christina, now … 3 KB (425 words) - 17:05, 31 March 2009

  1. Mauno Kling

These two separate pages are both apparently about the same person. This there a way to combine the two reports into one.

Yes, I could merge the two articles for you or explain how you can do it. It is not difficult to do. Which article should be primary, and which should be the redirect? Jonathunder (talk) 22:43, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Governor Portraits

Hi Jonathunder,
Thanks for your help! Yes, It looks like an avalanche of copyright notifications on my talk page. I did post the situation to Media copyright questions. If you have any suggestions they would be very welcome.

--Mnhs (talk) 20:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Måns Nilsson Kling

Måns Nilsson Kling is the more complete of the two articles. Also the title has the correct spelling of his name as it would appear in the Swedish language. Mauno would be a nickname or alternative name. Note the article titled Kolonin Nya Sverige 1638-1655 at http://www.historiesajten.se/handelserb.asp?id=47
