hello Bub

How's the library business? You'll see that I flicked a crumb off the surface of that Châteauesque article, which you seem to have adopted, in your legendary fashion. D is damn near halfway through law school and honing her skills on "Litigation: the Home Game", but still retains some reassuring gaps in her knowledge. It's growing colder at night and Portland around Homecoming looks like a Norman Rockwell autumn, achingly photogenic, if you can picture a Norman Rockwell autumn peopled by whippet-thin hepcats with sideburns, tattooed piercings and heavy black-frame glasses. Life is rich and strange. There are actually adult kickball leagues up here. Hope you're well, truly. --Lockley (talk) 08:03, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quick reverts

See here I use Huggle (which I actually just tested out for the first time. It's very handy for quick reverts and warnings. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 22:37, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning Huggle just reverts stuff fast; it's pretty easy to use and if you want, you can download it yourself and give it a try (as long as you have rollback rights.) I would like to gently suggest that you consider archiving your talk page as it's getting a bit long and approaching browser-breaking size. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 22:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Archiving This is how I do it and I have a template that you can copy and amend if you want. Let me know if this is still unclear. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 22:48, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Niehaus

That's a great photo of the bas-relief! I've been on a wild-goose chase. The U.S. Senate website mentions an equestrian statue of Grant for NYC by Niehaus, but I think it's a mistake. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 16:43, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My guess is the one by William Ordway Partridge.
Not to harp on something that may already be resolved (February 2011), but what is your source for Edmond Amateis having carved the pedimental sculpture for the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society? The Buffalo Architecture site is confusing and contradictory. Did the pediment remain blank from 1901 to the 1927-29 expansion of the building? I e-mailed BECHS in the hope of a definitive answer. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 13:43, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Here is the deal about this. First of all, it comes from these guys. [1]. Now you would do well to ask, "So who these guys, and I can't find that info on this site anyway?" to which I'd reply, "Well. no, that information is on the "You need a password (actually, two) to find that info there, and those guys are okay and here is a section from their correspondance with the folks in Buffalo, who wrote,
"Thank you for your interest in our building.  Edward Amateis executed sculptural plaques that were added to the exterior of our building in 1929 and is credited in one of our publications with the pediment as well (1930): http:// -- tinyurl.com/45qbc5p"
Does that help? Oh yes, one more thing. Neither Amateis not Niehaus "carved" anything. That was probably done by the Piccirilli Brothers.

Another fascinating factoid. When I tried to post this it turned out that http:// -- tinyurl.com/45qbc5p is on a wikipedia span blocked list? WTF? So I added two -- in the middle and you'll have to cut and paste if you want to check it. Life is just too strange sometimes Carptrash (talk) 20:33, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That makes sense. The pedimental sculpture seems a bit too Art Deco to me to be Turn-of-the-Century. I'll share what BECHS says if they e-mail me back, and fix everything in the articles.
BTW, I notice you've been contributing to the Niehaus article for more than 6 years.[!] Me, I'm still a rookie. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 23:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The curator at BECHS just e-mailed me back, saying that he thinks the sculptor of the pediment was Amateis. Their library is closed today, but he'll try to get a referenced source tomorrow. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:21, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I changed "carved" to "modeled". I am impress with how many of the images I've added to List of equestrian statues in the United States are yours. Everything from Princeton, New Jersey to Prescott, Arizona. You get around. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Naughty, naughty

Is this the raciest figure ever modeled (not sculpted) for a war memorial? I wonder what John Ashcroft would think. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 22:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i WILL confess that I was not sure about posting this one, but, I didn't commission it, make it or even carve it. Just snapped it. I will confess thqat the pose is still a bit puzzling to me. Carptrash (talk) 00:00, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Who knows, maybe your photo will make her famous.
She reminds me of Alexander Stirling Calder, whose statues sometimes got surprisingly sexual, but that was a generation later. Thank you for the Gettysburg equestrian pix. By any chance, did you photograph Frank Furness's 6th PA Cavalry Monument? It's a work I'd like to see better known. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 02:27, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
WWI Memorial Atlantic City, NJ
Just stopped by to thank you both for the Equestrian list, but perhaps the AC, NJ Memorial is "racier," OTOH it's also gorier. BTW, they do a bit of dairy farming in Iowa. Maybe that explains it? Smallbones (talk) 19:06, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Statue_of_Geo._Washington_at_Rogers_University.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Statue_of_Geo._Washington_at_Rogers_University.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

GW Carter

Thanks much for creating the entry on my Dad! So ironic that yesterday I was showing off his work to some people and the next thing I know is the person pulled out their smartphone and starts telling me about his career. I asked where on earth they got the info, and they said Wikipedia! I knew there was no Wiki entry - that is until you posted it just a couple days ago... The timing of these events are too weird. BTW the mention I make of the trotter woodcarving at the Harness Racing museum was unknown to me until three weeks ago. Our family had no idea this diorama existed, until 3 weeks ago! My father didn't know what happened to it when his parents estate was settled, and we left it's fate in limbo. I get a call out the blue only to find out find out it's in perfect condition - that is - for a carving that's over 70 years old! I would have wanted it in a museum anyway, but it it was already there for about 40 years...

Thanks for the wiki posting tips and I will be mindful of them. I do plan to post some pictures with the entry once I am passed the 4 days waiting period. The picture business does seem rather complicated though, so it may take a number of attempts to get it all to look decent.

I have never done this before


Let's see what happens? Should I spell out my issue here or wait? Perhaps both? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 02:55, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I have been working on this article List of monuments of the Gettysburg Battlefield and it was going along just fine. Then, yesterday (though I just found it) this edit occured.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_monuments_of_the_Gettysburg_Battlefield&diff=prev&oldid=490484553

It was probably a good faith edit by an annon user who had just enough knowledge to be dangerous. Now the article is (opinion) a mess, but because several edits have occured since that disaster, I can't undo it. Can you? Carptrash (talk) 02:58, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So now I'll try this.

Carptrash (talk) 03:30, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One can revert (more detailed instructions) to an old version of an article manually by bringing it up in the history, making a null edit on the old version, and saving it. You'll get a warning message to the effect of "This is an old version of this article. If you save you will erase any more recent changes" which tells you you're doing it right. Twinkle also has a button that allows one do do this via any diff page.
I think, though, that if at all possible this edit should be improved upon rather than reverted. The IP did add some significant content, albeit not in a very pretty way. Danger! High voltage! 07:28, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I missed the benches

I never noticed the benches for viewing the Cavalry Charge and Artillery sculpture groups at the Grant Memorial in D.C. Even though it was dedicated 57 years after the Civil War, the vividness of the figures must have been overwhelming for those who lived through the war or grew up hearing about it. Grant's Tomb in NYC used to be the most-visited attraction in the United States. Valley Forge and Gettysburg produce big emotions. D-Day, too. But imagine if D-Day was happening close to where you lived, and the outcome was likely to change your life, one way or the other. Veterans have a strong understanding of this, but I wish the general public did, too. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 02:18, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Puebloan dwellings

Hi Carptrash, thanks for the feedback. There have been ongoing issues with that page for quite some time, and I do appreciate that my actions might seem drastic. However, the page was poorly written from the beginning, with lots of unsourced speculations about ancient cultures about things that are unlikely to ever be known for certain, unsourced statements about modern cultures that are downright false, and misinterpretations of citations from archaeological literature. Some of the more egregious stuff was already removed a while ago; I put citation needed tags on much of the rest of it a year ago and made some notes on the discussion page, it appears that the original author of the page couldn't be bothered to fix their own errors, and so I thought it'd be better to remove the unsourced speculative information, as this doesn't really have a place in Wikipedia. Of course, others are welcome to disagree with me and to restore some or all of the text I've removed, but I don't think that would be beneficial given that it is almost entirely unsourced, most of it is speculative, and some of it is downright false. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a message and hopefully this is the end of the problems with that page. --ಠ_ಠ node.ue ಠ_ಠ (talk) 21:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Knoxville Hiker

I an new to this but when I added the information on the Knoxville Hiker and all the inscription data it made the knoxville page very large and none of the other inscriptions were there either. So I edited my own work. Are you interested in the Hiker monuments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbberry (talkcontribs) 21:48, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hiker Monuments

I have added ten locations to the page and an wondering if the Everett, Mass in Middlesex county is the same location as the one located in Oak Grove Cemetery in Medford, Middlesex county, Mass? I also believe there is a Hiker Monument in Memphis, Tennessee as well. Several years ago I added many of these monument in the findagrave. com webpage and volunteers have photographed many of the ones I added today. I assume those photos cannot be added here?

I believe I have them all in except one I am trying to verify in Winchester Park, AShburnham, Mass. Still not sure about that one. It is exciting to see them all on one page.

You mean my "newbie" is showing?!?

Whoa..."been away so long, I hardly knew the place..." (I even forgot that I had already established my account - lol!) Yep, I am no stranger to Wikipedia as a reference source, but my comments to you were my first effort to go beyond the browsing stage. Now, I have been authorized to write a Wikipedia bio for a successful and well-recognized Nashville songwriter. He's a very interesting character who actually revealed a good deal of his personal life to me since I made the offer to do this. The offer was made as a result of my being able to locate a string of references here to songs that he had either written or co-written, but all of his references were in red, meaning...well, you know. I asked if he paid a publicist to do things like this, as many do. He said, "No, have at it." He also said, "My life is an open book." and began sending me references to online interviews and details that I had only had limited awareness of, including his unexplainable and "miraculous" (by all accounts) recovery from death (by legal definition, 3X) from "full-blown" AIDS. (i.e., way beyond "HIV positive" status)

I have known and been friends with he and his wife (i.e., of some 30 years) for about a decade now, and though he credits her with being his "saving grace" and claims not to have had "gay sex" since they were married, he was pretty active in the gay community that existed in "Nashville Underground" for a good deal of his adolescence and young adulthood. Juxtapose this with being accepted early on by the Southern Gospel music and publishing industry/community, and you have the makings of a fairly incendiary "early years" segment. These days, he's seen and heard around Nashville songwriter haunts pretty routinely and divides his time between this, instructing a few select "students" in the art of writing for the Nashville market and driving his tractor on their farm.

Oh, and by the way, the chromatic harmonica is definitely a "different animal" in terms of learning to play it, let alone "master" it, as the examples you have cited have. But it IS a harmonica, nonetheless. If the distinction is between a "harp" (colloquial) and a harmonica, then I can appreciate your discernment between instruments and the players that play them. But I would bet "dollars to donuts" that either Stevie or Toots, known for their chromatic skill, could pick up a diatonic harmonica and play some Blues that would make you want to run for cover.
