Welcome to my talk page

I treat my talk page as a top level landing page for all discussion and as such archive stale discussions quickly. If a conversation started elsewhere, I will be watching it. If it starts here I will watch it here. Thanks.

Pizza Patrón

Thank you very much for photographing the Pizza Patrón HQ! Are you open to more photo requests? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Within Reason. I've done a bunch of photo requests this past couple of weeks (~20) so I'm probably going to be hands off for a couple of weeks as a 70 mile trip every weekend is not as fun. Hasteur (talk) 22:13, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's fine if I only list requests in the Dallas area, right? I have quite a few requests in the Dallas area. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Northern half of Dallas County I can do fairly quickly. South half (South of Downtown) takes longer. I also do some Collin County sites as I'm near the Dallas/Collin county border

Alright, so there are some requests. If you already have any of the following, please let me know. If you want to take your time or only do certain ones for now, that's fine too. If you want more than what I posted, please let me know, and I can post more.

Requests for southern Dallas County:

Wilmer-Hutchins ISD admin building (it's across the street from a gas station, so I suppose you can park at the gas station and take the photo from there) - 3820 East Illinois Avenue, Dallas, TX - I fear it could be demolished or have its markings removed (last time I saw it, it was still marked as the WHISD admin building), so I would very much like to have it photographed

Bad news, the WH ISD building (which I assume was on that little triangle of land between the gas station and the highway) is already demolished. Hasteur (talk) 18:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make sure, was it located on this parcel? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:00, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If it's the building that's listed as the Imperialist University of America, I got a shot of that. There were no WH-ISD logos on it. I was referring to the little triangle as the 2nd link you sent is what I though was the WHISD building. I'll upload what I have shortly Hasteur (talk) 22:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I look forward to seeing the image :) WhisperToMe (talk) 22:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is a triangle of land with nothing on it, but maybe that's not where the building was after all... WhisperToMe (talk) 22:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The triangle that may have been empty was empty back in 2001: http://msrmaps.com/image.aspx?T=4&S=9&Z=14&X=7100&Y=36216&W=3&qs=%7cDallas%7cTX - It seems like the building itself is still standing WhisperToMe (talk) 22:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know when you post any photos taken over the weekend. I'll add them to articles WhisperToMe (talk) 17:05, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry it took so long to upload. Hardware failure prevented me from uploading quickly. Hasteur (talk) 08:14, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I just added it to the WHISD article WhisperToMe (talk) 13:52, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DRN organisers

Hello. I am just letting you know that I've made a proposal to create a rotating DRN organiser-style role that would help with the day-to-day running of DRN. As you are a listed volunteer at DRN, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, and the other open proposals at DRN. You can read more about it here. Thanks!

Minor item

Hi there. Just a quick note on this infobox: It should say "This user has been dragged to the Administration Noticeboards N times," an experience which should only happen when drugged. Jokestress (talk) 05:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Decline

Hello, I am the author of the Pirates of the Caribbean timeline article, and I am offended by what you said. Columbus is never mentioned in the movies. Anyway, you obviously didn't read the notes section where it says:

"Some dates are historicaly accurate, such as the death of Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts, and are important to the storyline in one of the movies or books, such as Blackbeard's birth in 1680 as he becomes the main antoganist in On Strangers Tides, or Juan Ponce de León's discovery of Florida, and the Fountain of Youth as Sparrow and Barbossa search for his ship also in On Strangers Tides."

Having seen that I realy encourage you to look back into my article. Cheers. JoshBlitz (talk) 20:03, 15 April 2013 (UTC)JoshBlitz[reply]

And obviously you missed the Reductio ad absurdum of mentioning Columbus and trying to point out that your timeline is so meticulously over detailed that it does not belong here. Hasteur (talk) 20:10, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is not true. The article tells the timeline of events showcased in the series and books. Now the Beatles have a timeline and it is the exact same thing. It says details such as when George Martin was born, John and Cynthia wedding, and when a record was released. My article is no different. So please relook into it now. Cheers. JoshBlitz (talk) 20:17, 15 April 2013 (UTC)JoshBlitz[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFF. The Beatles has a very obvious and definite timeline and membership in the band. In addition your "timeline" claims in the title to only follow the movies, yet you include the births of characters only mentioned (Hernando Cortez is not in any of the films but is mentioned in description) or characters that are not even talked about in the movies (Ben Franklin for example). I'm not going to give your article a pass at this time because it is not up to the standards and quality of a article (or list). Please take my (and Drmies) advise and walk away for a while. I observe that you've submitted a great many articles for creation with very few of them actually passing. Perhaps it's time to go back to square one and consider if perhaps your understanding of the best practices (Rules/Guidelines/MoS/etc.) is not in line with the community consensus. And if you try to make another end run play such as removing the declined AfC submissions and trying to get a different reviewer, I will be asking the AfC volunteer team as a whole what steps we should take to prevent further disruption from you. Hasteur (talk) 20:26, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that was an accident, after I made the title I thought to myself, "Crap," and I tried to change the title but I couldn't find out how. Anyhoo, you again didn't read the notes section. Ben Franklin's birth was not mentioned, and Hernando Cortez is mentioned in the BOOK SERIES!! Yes, I know it says "...(Movie Series)" I mad a mistake, I tried to change it but I couldn't! Also, the Beatles DID NOT have a difinitive timeline. I am still working on a Beatles article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The History of The Beatles, witch is an article about their history, (also i'd love some feedback for it), and it includes people who were members, not just, Paul, John, George, and Ringo, but Tommy Moore, Ivan Vaughan, Bill Smith, Eric Griffiths, Colin Hanton, and Norman Chapman. People you probably have never heard of but, consequently have all been in the Beatles before... JoshBlitz (talk) 20:39, 15 April 2013 (UTC)JoshBlitz[reply]
