User talk:Philosopher

Due to time constraints, it may be a while before I get back to you. Please bear with me. If you are aware of any former Iowa legislators who are in the news, let me know and I'll try to get their Wiki-article going.

Welcome to Philosopher's talk page.

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page. Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end. Please use a new ==Descriptive heading== for new topics. Please indent your posts with ":" if replying to an existing topic (or "::" if replying to a reply). I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to Watch this page until you are responded to. ⇒ Start a new Talk topic.

Google searches like this show the rest is certainly copyrighted, but I can't find the whereabouts of the sources (possibly a pdf? I don't know). It's fairly obvious that it isn't just the first third that is the problem, but short of identifying where the passages are nicked from I'm not quite sure what to do. Ironholds (talk) 05:44, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

That's why I suggested listing it at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. They deal with these things all the time. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 06:18, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Are you the Admin Protecting the Youtube Poop topic

If you are, I am requesting the unprotection of the topic Youtube Poop because I would like to create a serious topic on it. The deletion log of it shows that you were the last one to delete it. I have no indent on using it for nonsensical reason. I can develop it and show you ahead of time if I must. YTP lover (talk) 20:09, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

 Not done If you believe you can write an article on the subject that is encyclopedic and meets our requirements for an article, please create a draft in your userspace and later request that it be moved to the article space. Given the history of this article, I will not unprotect it on the simple assertion that a good article will be created. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 04:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Iowa 2

What do you think of helping get it to a GA? I have some thoughts at User:Ctjf83/Iowa. If you wanna post on there some thoughts on my thoughts, or new thoughts (ugh, I need a synonym) that'd be great! :) CTJF83Talk 04:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll take a look. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 15:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I've added some comments there. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 09:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. So, you wanna help me get it to GA? I'm on vacation till Monday, but I really wanna get it to GA status soon! :) CTJF83Talk 03:40, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to be available Tuesday and (possibly) Wednesday, but I'll help. Perhaps you should add a link to your subpage to Talk:Iowa and WT:IOWA so others interested can help? Oh, and dibs on fixing the <ref> tags, btw. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 03:45, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Good idea! And what <ref> tag did I fix? CTJF83Talk 03:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know whether you fixed any of them. I was just dibsing them. :P --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 03:51, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

LOL, ok! Any help you provide will be greatly appreciated. I think I just need to motivate myself, and other users to actually get the ball rolling. CTJF83Talk 03:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Davenport

Do you think I should add any more pictures to Davenport, Iowa before I resubmit it for FA? I still need to do a little work on it. Maybe something like, File:LVLKYHILO.gif? I'd also like to add a map of major streets and such, but not sure how to find a free map to add, since it would be a lot of work to create one myself. CTJF83Talk 04:03, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Have you addressed Karanacs' issues from the last nomination? As for the rest, I'll think about it, but considering my amazingly large number of FAs nominated (look at the wikilink ;), my comments will be of limited utility. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 04:28, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

LOL, Zero, you should work on that! :) Do you think there should be more photos though, even if you have no FA experience. I haven't addressed all Karancas' concerns, but working on that. CTJF83Talk 05:58, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, I am working on that. See #Iowa 2, supra. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 01:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I think it has an appropriate number of photos the way it is, but if you really want to add a picture, how about a photo of the Davenport Citibus and/or its headquarters? --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 05:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Also consider transwiki'ing the free use photos to Commons and categorizing them into Commons:Category:Davenport, Iowa. I've added {{commonscat}} to the article. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 05:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok! Sounds good. CTJF83Talk 18:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

more info for your page "St. Mary's Catholic Church in Dubuque"...

The TH (local Dubuque Paper) indicated today that St. Mary's might close its doors.

I did not want to modify your excellent article.... thus this note :)
