User talk:Ruhrfisch/Archive 27

Welcome to my talk page. Please leave me a message below and I will reply on your talk page. Although my email address is enabled, it is not an address I check often (so I may be slow in replying to email). Please also note that while I am glad to do a peer review on just about any article, I do not usually have the time to do copyedits (sorry). Thanks for stopping by and happy editing! Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:59, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much

for all your help on the peer review of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and the composite image for Tchaikovsky and the Belyayev circle. You're really going beyond the call. Jonyungk (talk) 04:32, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

The image looks great. Nice work! Jonyungk (talk) 13:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

The new image of Glazunov is fine—much more definition than on the previous version. Thanks for digging it up. Jonyungk (talk) 22:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Saw the composite image on my talk page—it looks fantastic! Wasn't sure whether it was ready to go on the article page but went ahead and placed it there anyway. If it's not ready, go ahead and remove it. Thanks again. You really do excellent work. Jonyungk (talk) 03:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk about going the extra mile ... Thanks so much for doing the image search on Tchaikovsky and the Five. This was something I did not expect at all. As I'm practically helpless when it comes to searching for information on images, I am really grateful for what you have done. Jonyungk (talk) 00:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

An excellent suggestion. I made the request to David Fuchs. Jonyungk (talk) 00:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

... and a Happy New Year

to you and all of the Pennsylvania State Parks. Have a great 2010! Ben MacDui 11:36, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

from me too. Washoe Lake State Park is also nominated at DYK with a hook that was pretty obvious. Work, work, work for me today. Dincher (talk) 13:03, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the pictured. I hope the picture is included, but there's some other nominated pictures that are good too. Dincher (talk) 14:34, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

LH log raft

Thanks a lot for responding to Julian and Jappalang, preparing and uploading the new image, and writing the fair-use rationale. I was away from my computer most of the day. I hope we are nearing the end of the FAC. Finetooth (talk) 04:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

It's the Jay Street Bridge. The original bridge at this site was a covered bridge, 800 feet long. The Wagner book, which is full of photos, includes a photo of the covered bridge. Most impressive. The photo (and most of the others in the book) were taken by John W.C. Floyd, who worked as a photographer in Lock Haven between 1882 and 1898. There's a photo by Floyd of log rafts as seen from this bridge. I tried unsuccessfully to make a scan of this raft picture that looked halfway decent. Your Pine Creek raft image was much better, and your replacement image is also better. I'm not sure when the covered bridge was replaced by a steel bridge, but I'll keep looking. I added the name of the bridge to the caption and tweaked the alt text just slightly. Finetooth (talk) 05:10, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Here it is. The Miller book says, "An iron bridge crosses the river at Jay St. in Lock Haven, near the site of the old wooden covered bridge, which was one of the longest on the West Branch until it was destroyed by fire, under circumstances suggesting arson, in 1919." I wonder if the log raft depicted in the replacement image was ceremonial rather than "real". Finetooth (talk) 05:27, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I wondered about the Last Raft possibility too. Here are more photos of the Last Raft. I'm not sure the raft under the Jay Street Bridge has a little cabin on it like the Last Raft. On the other hand, it looks like a lot of people are standing on the Jay Street Bridge looking at the raft. That many people on the raft and that many people watching from the bridge would not be business-as-usual rafting from the old days. Finetooth (talk) 06:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I sent a note to Julian asking him to have another look and either strike or advise. Finetooth (talk) 06:29, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Super! Finetooth (talk) 18:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Just got back after being away from the Internet all afternoon and early evening. I saw your woo hoo and knew instantly what that must mean. I'm going to prepare a fancy thank-you to send to all of the PR reviewers, but I want to say thanks especially to you for the photos, the Big Runaway map, and all of your other hard work and support during the process. Finetooth (talk) 04:25, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to think the LH article could serve as a model for small cities. Is it OK if I add Ruhrfisch to the thank-you to make it a co-thank-you like the ones you and Dincher have used? Finetooth (talk) 05:07, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Done. Sent to all involved reviewers and the three supporters (with some overlap). Finetooth (talk) 05:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

<outdent>An excellent suggestion. I've now sent thank-yous featuring your courthouse and carillon images to Mitch32 (image and support), Brianboulton (PR and support), Niagara (PR and edits), Dincher (PR, edits, and support), Juliancolton (image review), an odd name (technical review), Parrot of Doom (FAC review), RB88 (source review), Jappalang (image review), doncram (PR), and Ealdgyth (advice on sources). Can you think of anyone I might have missed? You don't send these to Sandy, do you? I'd feel a little strange about sending her this particular kind of thing, and of course the promotion would not be news to her. Finetooth (talk) 06:29, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Opinion

I wonder if I might get your opinion on whether a section in PRR GG1 (which I was going to expand for a GA) can be salvaged or should just be removed. I'm concerned with the "In the movies" section. I think a general pop culture good be created, but I feel it might end up being original research. By the way I just noticed the Ricketts Glen waterfall list had made DYK, congrats belatedly! ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 18:34, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I left a note with a Choess. No worry about being slow to respond, I really wasn't around between being out, clearing lake-effect from the driveway, and preparing article on Pennsylvania's state electric locomotive. I did happen to watch one of the movies in the list the other night, The Manchurian Candidate, and played "spot the GG1" ;-) ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 05:19, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Happy New Year to you, too !

Fisch, thank you so much for the seasons greetings; I was traveling, so I'm just now returning with wishes for a happy and healthful New Year and decade. And thanks to you trio of PR-folk for making my task at FAC lighter; you're all the best! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:53, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Well done again

I'm glad (but not surprised) that Lock Haven made it; I always look forward to those articles, congratulations to you both. If you have a moment, perhaps you could help ginger up Peter Heywood's FAC, which seems to have hibernated after very brief attention. It's not really in trouble, just needs to keep going. Brianboulton (talk) 10:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Congrats from me on your latest FAC success! Dincher (talk) 15:12, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Utah

Looks like I found another map that's not co-ordinated. I've been struggling with Antelope Island State Park on User:Dincher/Pet. Then I remembered the problem I had with Vermont. Could you check and see if Utah's locator map template is set up? If not I could try to co-ordinate it, unless you want to. No hurry. I just can't do it right now. Dincher (talk) 23:23, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I was having problems with GNIS too, I was using the coordinates for Syracuse, Utah as a test. Thanks for calibrating it. I tried, but didn't get it done. As for the falls, I think that moving the details around as you suggest sounds like a pretty good idea. I am looking forward to working on Antelope Island State Park. It sounds like a neat place to visit. Dincher (talk) 01:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I found some really nice pics on flickr. They're on the commons, Category:Antelope Island State Park. Which one do you think is best to nominate on the main page. It's too hard for me to decide. Dincher (talk) 03:23, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

The pic with the sunflower is the one I had in mind at first, then I thought, "it is Antelope Island." But I do think the sunflower pic is better. Still not sure. Dincher (talk) 13:08, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I saw that map and automatically assumed that it was a copyright vio. Like somebody swiped it from National Geographic. I didn't even take the time to look at the words at the bottom of the page. It really is very good and I have added it to the article on my user space. I understand alt. text now. The title is confusing. Descriptive text or very descriptive text would be better. I thought that alt. text was some technical detail like a convert template.--Dincher (talk) 23:26, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

McDonald's Cycle Center FA

This user helped promote McDonald's Cycle Center to featured article status.

Thanks for your intimate involvement in the development of McDonald's Cycle Center, which has become an WP:FA in recent months.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:22, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

IDiscoveri Education

Hi I guess you deleted this article on IDiscoveri Education. I agree that the content on it is against WIkipedia's Rules G11 and G12. But the user who created the page had verbal confirmation from the external site owner and the article was written to spread word about IDiscoveri in an encyclopedic sense rather than in a promotional sense. If you could bring that article into live space I shall re-work on it and bring in a neutral point of view. I could as well start a new article but I hope to keep in touch with you so as to bring a neutral view article on this company's work. Look forward to hear from you. WithdrawnVTJS (talk) 07:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Reply:

Thanks. I verified WP:NN and I guess the rewritten article would meet the notability requirements. If i were to obtain written permission for the content to avoid copyright infringement, should i post it to commons or if i send the details to you or any other wikipedia administrators would that be enough? I shall actually re-write about the company and its work in my own words but the details about their work are really best captured in their own words. Advise. Once again thanks a lot. WithdrawnVTJS (talk) 12:00, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Level 2: Hey thanks for that edit. As I am not familiar with wikitext i didnt know that, that kinda syntax can be used. Will try and use it wherever necessary. Now I request you to explain to me at ur own convenience what is the true difference between footnotes and references. And in many wikipages be it references or footnotes are displayed in very small font which makes it look kinda cute. how to do that?? And I know its a pretty long article (for a guy like me it is), so if u can review it then it would be wonderful. If you think the references are good and the tags for cleanup can be removed then I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot mate. Really. :) WithdrawnVTJS (talk) 17:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Waterfalls

I like the explanations of the glens and the images that you've added. I think a map is a good idea, but I don't know how workable it is. It seems like a map of all the falls would have to be quite large to be readable. I think it's worth trying. Can't hurt to try. Maybe three maps, one for each glen? Dincher (talk) 22:33, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

The base map looks pretty good. I am looking forward to seeing it's completion. Thanks for the DYK medal! I like the fact that you've added the dried up lakes and of course Route 118. Dincher (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I definetly like

this best. Do you think that the names of the falls could be links to a photo of the waterfall in question? Dincher (talk) 03:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Another thought. Why not include the other park details on this map as well, picnic ares, park office, beach (if there is one) as well?--Dincher (talk) 03:33, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

It can't hurt to transfer both maps. I understand about the park map. Another idea. Is it possible to make the map so that a thumbnail of the fall will show when you hover over the link? For example if you hover over "Dincher" a little box that says User:Dincher appears on the screen. Dincher (talk) 04:07, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't matter to me what color the park is, but others may want the colors to be consistent across the parks. Dincher (talk) 04:33, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

The ivory looks better than the green. Dincher (talk) 11:26, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

My first guess was correct. And no I don't think anybody will notice that the map at PISP was updated. I don't think anybody noticed the addition of 120 pics to the List of Pennsylvania state parks. Dincher (talk) 16:59, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey, my ears are burning (although that might have to do with just finishing with shoveling the driveway) ;-) The ivory-colored map is nice, the new color makes it more consistent with other maps (like the locator maps) that use a lighter color for the highlighted area. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 19:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

There was a two hour delay today in NC for forecasted snow that didn't happen. Thought that might get a chuckle. I am glad the pics list got noticed and Niagra was paying attention. I think that the white Pennsylvania map in the municipality infoboxes should be replaced by an ivory box. That would be a pretty big project to undertake and one I couldn't do. I can never find ivory on windows paint and sure don't know how else to do it. Dincher (talk) 22:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I will see what I can do with the eye dropper. I never knew what that tool was for. Glad we're ready for PR. I will look at that next. Dincher (talk) 16:31, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I noticed quiet some time ago that it was looking more like an article than a list. I think it may get by as FAC, we may need to change the title to Named waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park.

I am finding tons of information on Antelope Island State Park. I am sure it could be FA if I want to put forth the effort. Dincher (talk) 23:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

That is a cool pic. It gives a good perspective on how they've changed. Dincher (talk) 03:31, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I think a Lakes of Ricketts Glen article would be best since we aren't individualizing the waterfalls, I don't think that the lakes should get seperate articles either. There's been some discussion at Hanging Rock State Park about whether or not a falls should have it's own article or not. I think I will go for FA on Antelope Island. It's going to take some time to get it to the main space let alone FAC, I'll keep you posted. I know I'll need help with "alt text" I don't even know or understand what "alt text" is. Dincher (talk) 14:15, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I tried writing an alt text for the picture of Waters Meet. What do you think? I wasn't aware of the alt. text tool either. How does is work? Dincher (talk) 02:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll work on the alt. texts tonight. Dincher (talk) 16:43, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I did two more alt. texts, one for the bridge in the section before the overview section and one for Kitchen Creek in the Overview section. Do they look good? I am going to wait for feedback before proceding with anymore alt texts. Dincher (talk) 21:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll start at the bottom of the list, top of the falls and work my way up, down. Dincher (talk) 22:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I did all of Ganoga Glen except for the wide image at the bottom. It looks to me like there is some sort of overlook about halfway up the stairs on the right, but since it's been years and years since I was actually there I am going to leave the alt. text for this one for you. I am taking an alt. text break for now. Might do more later tonight, will do more tomorrow, unless you get to them first. Dincher (talk) 00:35, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

I did get the emails. I am glad for the good news. Dincher (talk) 02:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Doing these alt texts and describing the falls has pointed out a source of trouble for me. It's really hard to judge the scale of some of the falls. What do you think? Dincher (talk) 03:08, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

So don't identify hemlocks? They look like hemlocks to me. Dincher (talk) 23:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I will change hemlocks to conifers. That seems better than evergreens. I have a huge magnolia in my yard that's evergreen, but not conifer. Dincher (talk) 01:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you very much for your peer review comments for "Like a Rolling Stone." Very appreciated. As you suggested, I hope to find time to do my own part and peer review an article on the list in the near future. Moisejp (talk) 13:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I second that vote of thanks, Ruhrfisch, that's very helpful. Lots of good suggestions for copy editing. Mick gold (talk) 13:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

PR question

I have got a PR related question for you: It came up in a peer review that the subject article should be moved. Should the PR page itself be moved to the new name as well? ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 18:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of that. Also, I've gone through most of the movies, so far, relating to the GG1 and was able to add other pop culture bits, so thanks for the push start. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 03:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Akron-related yet again

Sigh I don't know how much more I can take, but here we go again. There's been a discussion about the Meth Capital of Ohio section on the Akron, Ohio article because most of the sourced info and the text itself deals with the county rather than the city (including the very title of the section). So far I've held off moving it, but that same editor is the lone opposer of such a move. He recently moved the article Crime in Akron, Ohio to Crime history of the city of Akron. I moved it back citing basic naming conventions and lack of discussion only to have it moved back to the "new" title sans discussion beyond comments in the move summary. Would appreciate any help/insight/assistance in the matter. I'm tired of edit wars period, but especially these. It seems the move was made to eliminate Crime in Akron, Ohio so the Crime section in the Akron article could be expanded/or so the large amount of info there could be easier to justify (I had stated in the article talk page and a recent edit summary that the Crime section shouldn't be expanded anymore since a Crime in Akron, Ohio article existed. But this is a pretty normal chain of events. Mostly User: Beirne and I will take the time to carefully explain our edits and thoughts on the talk page and maybe eventually Threeblur will join the conversation; some quicker than others, some never at all beyond edit summary comments (which sometimes are personally directed at myself or Beirne like here and here, not to mention the discussion that followed on his talk page, which he subsequently erased). Most of my comments at Talk:Akron, Ohio#Meth Capital of Ohio were made in response to edits I made to Threeblur's changes. Thanks as always! --JonRidinger (talk) 23:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

For whatever reasons, I can't move Crime history of Akron, Ohio back to Crime in Akron, Ohio, perhaps because of the changes in redirects? I will need some administrative assistance there if you think the move back is what should be done. No consensus was even sought for in moving it to Crime history... --JonRidinger (talk) 00:50, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

thanks for all your help. Yes, I hesitate to say go because his edits aren't vandalism, but it seems the vast majority are undo's or are just poor choices in grammar, matching info with sources, including any sources period, or just trivia. I made a remark today how I edit tons of pages (over 700 in my watchlist) yet the Akron article seems to be taking all of my time as it's one thing after another. Letting it go for awhile just allowed cruft to pile up. It was one thing when he was a new editor a year ago, but what's the excuse now? Anything I can do in writing such a thing up? User:Beirne would also have much to say I'm sure. --JonRidinger (talk) 01:58, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, I was writing a reply at the same time. Threeblur0 writes lots of content, which should be commendable, but much of it is incorrect or not up to Wikipedia standards. He talks more on the discussion page than he used to but conversations do not go long without threeblur0 making personal attacks against me or Jon. And that is on top of snide references to the last editor by name in the edit comments, which do not afford a place to reply. We need to do something different. I'm up for any new ideas. --Beirne (talk) 02:10, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

BTW, I looked at the WP:AN/I page and the category that best describes the current situation is "To report impolite or uncivil communications with other editors, see wikiquette alerts". There has been no end of impolite and uncivil communications from threeblur0. --Beirne (talk) 02:13, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Changed my mind. All out go for it. Now he's making edits to the Kent, Ohio article which only occurs when he has disagreements with me, since Kent is an article I edit a lot and am connected to. His edits are never constructive there; always disruptive. And I seem to recall in his agreement with User:Versageek that he pledged to not get into edit wars. He's done that quite a bit on the Akron article just these past few days and now seems to be starting one at the Kent article. --JonRidinger (talk) 02:17, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Found it! --JonRidinger (talk) 03:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I have restored the discussion on User:Threeblur0 at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Threeblur0 and have added new commentary. --Beirne (talk) 05:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for moving the article back to Crime in Akron, Ohio...now if only we could really get that and Akron, Ohio improved...sigh. --JonRidinger (talk) 01:27, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Belated thanks for the New Years Greeting, and 2 1/2 bridge photos

File:Black Rock Bridge.JPG has now been added in the List of NRHP Bridges in Pennsylvania (and in Eastern Chester and Montgomery County lists), but on the way there I crossed a covered bridge in Valley Forge National Historical Park which is probably in Montgomery County, maybe crossing over into Chester - see File:Valley Forge Bridge.JPG and File:Valley Forge Bridge 2.JPG. I was very surprised to see a covered bridge in Valley Forge that's NOT on the NRHP. Perhaps it is a contributing structure, which perhaps means it should be on a list or 3. Any help would be appreciated.

BTW - Russian Old New Year is next week (Julian calender) - maybe I'll motivate myself to send greetings for the Old New Year! Smallbones (talk) 23:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

OK, I got your message and found similar info at http://www.tredyffrin.org/pdf/harb/sitesurvey.pdf at the same time. Apparently it's all in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County. So the question is whether to add it (or other Contributing structures in general) to the Eastern Chester County NRHP list and/or Bridges of Pennsylvania List. Is there an official keeper of the Wiki NRHP lists? but first to sleep... Thanks, Smallbones (talk) 05:13, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Could you bring me the head of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov?

Now that I have your attention (and how often do I get the chance to invoke the title of an old exploitation picture like "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia"?)... :) Thanks for your comments on the R-K article, which are very helpful. You wondered if a crop of R-K's head from one of the color portraits might not be a better lead image. It might be; what is there now looks like something you might find on an old box of cough drops. Since you already cropped the Repin head for Tchaikovsky and the Belyayev circle, how do you think that would look? Jonyungk (talk) 01:27, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, Borodin wrote a ton of sketches for the opera Salome, but R-K ended up orchestrating it, and Glazunov filled in the missing parts. :) Thanks in advance for the head cropping—I really appreciate it. Jonyungk (talk) 04:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Not bad. I'm more partial to Serov but am having problems with copyright info over the portrait since all the information is in German and the folks in PR wantr it translated into English. Let me think on wht I might do. Thanks again. Jonyungk (talk) 06:00, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Fluent in German too? Wow! Thanks a lot for the translation help. Jonyungk (talk) 06:05, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Now you have me laughing out loud at the Pig Latin joke. Thanks once more for all your help. Jonyungk (talk) 06:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Bridge between East Manchester and Newberry Townships

Could you supply for me the "location" field and the UTM coords for the Bridge between East Manchester and Newberry Townships? I was going to add it to the York County list per your comment at WT:NRHP, but I'd really like to have more information than the Elkman generator gives before I add it, and at the moment I can't find it in the CRGIS. Nyttend (talk) 01:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; I just found it, however; the "location" bit that I wanted is found at the top of page 3, in the "Bridge name and address" field: "L.R. 250 over Conewago Creek". What I meant was "data that would go in the 'location' field in our table". Nyttend (talk) 04:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it's there. I'm trying to download it, but the link won't bring up the PDF; however, I can try again if I think of it. Please remind me tomorrow if you think of it and I don't; I have to make a trip to Beaver County and back home again today, and the snow means that I might not be back until late. Nyttend (talk) 13:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Just found something interesting — the German Wikipedia has at least one article on a Pennsylvania NRHP site that we don't. Penn's Cave and Hotel in Centre County is a redlink, but there's a decent-looking article on de:Penn’s Cave. Nyttend (talk) 03:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the photos appear to be by an English-speaking individual; all captions are in English. Would you like me to import the page to your userspace? I'd import it into mainspace, but I have no knowledge of German. Nyttend (talk) 04:02, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so I just remembered that you can do anything I can do :-) Unlike Acroterion, I've never imported anything before, so this was really a "please let me do it so I can find out what it's like" request. Page is at User:Ruhrfisch/Penn's Cave. Nyttend (talk) 05:14, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

File:Louisiana Locator Map with US.PNG

Greetings. I see your name on the upload history of the subject, so maybe you can help or point me in the right direction. When used in NRHP infoboxes, (Template:Location map USA Louisiana) the map's base is off. I noticed it after creating New Canal Light, because the light is on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain and the dot is placed on the north side. Other New Orleans sites end up in middle of the lake.

It's not a simple error -- I tested the NW corner of the state which Geolocator puts at 33.0192N,94.0430W, and the template puts the dot about 0.19 degree too far east. However the end of the E/W line that extends into Mississippi, which should be at 31.0017N 89.7282W, is placed about the same distance north of the correct location. The SW corner, at Sabine Pass, should be at 29.6910N, 93.8383W, but the dot is placed both north and east of the correct location. So, it looks to my admittedly naive eyes as a rotation and scale problem. Thanks . . . . Jim . . . .

It appears to be fixed, thanks. See Chandeleur Island Light, which is a very sensitive check on the location of the dot -- it's at the north end of the islands. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 23:34, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Do I understand correctly that you don't (or didn't) see the map on Chandeleur Island Light? That's really wierd -- it works fine on both Firefox and Explorer here.. . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 11:41, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

You ought to try Firefox -- I'll never go back. The installation is easy and having multiple tabs makes going back and forth between sources and articles much easier, and, of course, there are the mysterious IE glitches which Firefox seems to avoid.. . . .

Millennium Park

I see we are going to need three more after this by March 2011 to keep this as an FT if this passes. As always, my research could be improved with your copyediting. If you get a chance try to take a stab at McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. Then, we will need one more plus the main article, which would be easiest to work on after improving the supporting articles. For the one more I guess Harris Theater (Chicago) might be expandable. Lurie Garden might be interesting. Give me a thought on which other one you think has a shot.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Did you forget about me?

You were going to take a re-read of the Burger King products article so I can finish it up and submit it for a GA.

Thanks again for helping me out, Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:58, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Temporary protection request

Ernest Shackleton has been edited 34 times since the start of the year. Every one of these is either vandalism or a revert. This is continuing, at a heightened level, the pattern that prevailed throughout last year. Is it possible to give the article temporary protection, as I want to spend a bit of time on article maintainance and improvement which is hard to do when the text is constantly being disrupted.

Marienlyst Castle

I've been working on an article Marienlyst Castle. It was recently changed to Marienlyst Palace but a palace is a property of the sovereign only and since Marienlyst is not owned by the Queen or the State it can not be called a palace. Could you please change it back to Marienlyst Castle. Sincerily (Ice Explorer (talk) 20:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC))

Pritzker Pavilion FAC

Thanks for driving. My WP time is limited these days due to my budding professional poker career. It does not take much time to bust out of a tournament, but when I get hot, it means I play deep in to tournaments and it eats into my WP time. I current continue to be hot. It looks like it is going well. Hopefully Dr. B will support soon. I don't know where Torsodog is on this one, but expected some commentary or support. I think we are in good shape on this one. We will need three more soon though.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:58, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for moving Marienlist Castle back, sorry about all this. I had put a lot of research into it, but sadly anyone can just change it without regard at all. I have moved the article from my Sandbox. It's not complete but I would appreciate it greatly if you could give it a quality scale rating. Sincerily, (Ice Explorer (talk) 06:01, 14 January 2010 (UTC))
