RE: post from User:74.12.126.46 On Talk:List of Ni Hao, Kai-Lan episodes:

This guy is a pain. See the talk page of Thomas, specifically every IP edit from December 20, 2009 onwards. Also here and here. As you can see, he's been keeping this up for over a year. The guy's either denser than lead or he's trolling. I was hoping the dumb sum'bitch has finally given up, but this appears not to be the case. If you see an IP trying to name itself Thomas with a link back to that userpage; report 'em on sight. HalfShadow 20:58, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, cool, thanks for the heads up CTJF83 chat 03:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

NRHP Scott County, Iowa

Glad to see u continuing at developing the NRHP Scott County, Iowa list-article. Can't answer ur question yet, as it would depend on how much improvement is done. I have commented in some Featured List candidacy reviews though, and this list-article seems like it has a ways to go first. There's no requirement that every entry in a list-article has to be a bluelink, but it does help to have all the articles started, like you are doing. And, I think writing out some short description of each place, for the column now labelled "Summary", would help the list-article. Probably a good intermediate step would be to request a wp:PR peer review for the list-article, once you've done some more improvement. Or u can put it up directly for wp:FLC, and get reviews there. I happen to think the peer review comments are often more friendly and helpful. Hope this helps! --doncram (talk) 18:00, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm gonna try running an off-wiki program using the National Register's NRIS database, to draft material to add to some of the Scott County NRHP articles. In the next day or two, i'll comment at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Scott County, Iowa. --doncram (talk) 20:40, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protection?

Would you like this page semi-protected until the trolls find something else to do? Acroterion _(talk) 23:26, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Umm...I don't know, a few months ago I would have said yes without thought, but now, my attitude towards IPs has strongly improved. I'd say no at this point, because it appears to be only once a day or 2 that the user removes it. I think right now the best option is to have people watching my page, and quickly revert/block the users. One thing I'm not going to do is remove it though....you never even suggested that, just throwing it out there. :) CTJF83 chat 23:32, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

That's why I asked first - there are lots of watchers here, it would appear, so we can just keep lurking and grab them as they swim by. Acroterion _(talk) 23:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

LOL, ok. In all honesty, if i was offended/upset every time i was called a faggot or queer, I'd never be happy, so it doesn't bother me at all. As a 3rd option, could the IP address (assuming it is one) be blocked from creating accounts for X amount of time? CTJF83 chat 23:40, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

That's what autoblock does. It wears off after a while, though. We might be able to interest a checkuser in looking at the IP pattern and see if a rangeblock is feasible. Acroterion _(talk) 23:43, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

If you feel checkuser is good option, we can do that, otherwise, like I said, don't wanna make an overly big deal out of something that doesn't even really bother me. CTJF83 chat 23:44, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: List of Speaker of the House~

Sorry it took awhile to get back to you about your request for clarification; tracking my edits, questions, and suggestions will get easier next month when I create an account. Meanwhile, in the section List of Speakers by state just says "California - 1", for example, not "California - Nancy Pelosi"; if it's going to stay by-the-numbers, list is inaccurate. If we're going to break them out, happy to help. Thoughts? :D 75.203.158.55 (talk) 07:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Can you please link me to the discussion you are referring to? I'm not sure if listing all the representatives under each state is a good idea, as it will add a lot to the length of the page, but I am open to discussing it with you. CTJF83 chat 07:50, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

List of Speakers of the United States House of Representatives Probably an easier way to do this. Different IP, still me. 75.204.67.18 (talk) 02:42, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I think you want this to list each Speaker from their state? I'm not sure that is a good idea, as it will add to the length of the article. Plus if a user is curious as to which 8 speakers are from Massachusetts, they can easily type "ctrl+f" and type in "Massachusetts". I just think adding the names next to the numbers in the states adds too much length and is redundant information. CTJF83 chat 02:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Right; it says it lists them, but it does not; it either should, or say it is the number from each state, which it is. It would be redundant, but it would be consolidated, remove white space, and back referencing. Either way. And that's the first I've known wikipedia had a find command. 75.204.67.18 (talk) 03:52, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I gotcha, look good? CTJF83 chat 04:02, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Works for me. 75.204.67.18 (talk) 04:16, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Your request at the Graphic Lab

Hello! You've recently requested an image on the Graphic Lab talk page (here). That talk page is only for discussion of the project. The proper place would be one of the workshops (Photography/Illustration/Maps). I moved your request to the Illustration workshop, you can find it at Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Image_addition. Best regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 10:42, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, CTJF83 chat 15:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Townships

As you may know I patrol all Iowa's communities and I see you are entering in data for the Iowa townships. First Thanks and then I wanted you to educated me. In Grant Township, Tama County, Iowa you are entered {{|coord|42.268074|-92.600355|display=title|type:landmark}}. My question is instead of landmark in some townships you have entered city instead of landmark, did you just forget this one? Should it be township instead of city?. Also I hope you would consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Communities even if it is at Level 1) I am interested in Iowa communities but don't ask me I will help when I want., but hopefully a higher level. Also could you give me some feedback about the page? I respect constructive criticism. Keep up the good work.
--RifeIdeas Talk 17:07, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Ya, that was just an error, and should be "city", the default copy and paste on my user page is "landmark" and I forgot to change that one....actually ya, they should prob all be "township" instead, I'll fix them. I'll look over the Communities thing and join in a bit, I feel the urge to eat some lunch right now, lol, so headed to Panda Express and will be back and reply shortly :) CTJF83 chat 17:13, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Page looks pretty good. Not sure the levels are important, because how accurate are they going to be? In the city tables, I have no idea what P1, P2, and P3 mean or I/C scale. Other than that it's a good start! CTJF83 chat 18:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Actually the 2nd part of what kind of editor you are, and such is useful and I like that. CTJF83 chat 18:16, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Yea I need to explain the P1 P2 etc. That is why a second or third set of eyes helps to improve a project. The P stands for priorities and the # is the level. This can be seen at Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Communities/Priorities and the city tables is to create a system of bringing all cities up in levels of information without people duplicating the work. My theory is each member would "check out a table" and work on that table until all cities on that table have achieved the priority level and record when it was completed. I will work on that explanation soon and place it in the tables 2nd stage header. The I/C is Project Iowa/Project Cities but I may eliminate this as Philosophor has since set up a Category system that does this automatically at least with Project Iowa. The level (I assume level of commitment) is have a basis for communication or asking for participation that is why there is the don't call me level. There is always room for improvement. Thanks for your input.
--RifeIdeas Talk 21:07, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I understand now...ya, it is off to a good start. CTJF83 chat 21:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I improved many parts of Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Communities per your comments. I also cut out the tables from the main page and put them on a separate page per Philosopher's comment to cut down on the page load time. Take a look and give me your feedback. Also look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa/Communities/Priorities especially the Demographics section as I was thinking about making a Task A) (you will see why) just to update that section in all cities due to the 2010 census data coming out. On another subject look at Carol Morris another page I developed from 2 sentences. One last thing, do you get notified of a new message if I just add to an existing thread?
--RifeIdeas Talk 03:24, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Yep, even if you add the letter A to word or something, I will get a notification, any edit made here (besides me or archive bots of course). The pages look great! You've done a lot of hard/great work! Keep it up, and let me know how I can be of assistance. CTJF83 chat 14:41, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

How you can help - where do I begin? First I appreciate you comment about the hard/great work. I assume you was able to navigate/find and understand everything with ease if not feel free to make improvements or let me know. The Wikipedia :WikiProject Iowa/Communities/Priorities is just a good start. Any information / sources / experiences / pitfalls to avoid / MOS conflicts that you can contribute would be helpful. I just today since you asked went and checked the traffic patterns for 3 years for the top 10 populated cities in Iowa. A table will be going on the main page when I can, but until then I will give you the short version. Hits per day for DM is tops 984, CR 2nd 400, Ames 3rd 385, you can work on improving any of those 3. Just as a reference Davenport is 6th with 285. In my opinion looking at DM today it needs a lot of work, I am going to tackle the empty chart in the Economy section soon, I noticed it a couple of weeks ago but was hoping someone would finish their job (wrong). If you are so inclined the "Museum" section is just a list of names with no descriptions. Any help to bring DM up to an A-Class Article would be appreciated. Of course you can "check out" a table and start working on Task 1 although improving the Priorities page may take priority. (haha) I had to fix a Demographics section today and went to "Fact Finders" from the US Census and seen they state it will be Feb 1 before that site will have the 2010 figures, so who knows it may be a while for population updates. Personally my article improvements will be random as I patrol recent edits until I have made all the Communities tables. Like the Carol Morris article I came by in the Notable people section of Ottumwa, Iowa, the only Miss Iowa to win a Miss USA title and then went on to win the Miss Universe for the USA in 1956, turned actress was a pathetic 2 lines and no info-box. I just had to improve it like the Ansel Briggs article.
--RifeIdeas Talk 18:11, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I work 8 hrs today, and 12 the next two days, so won't do anything til Monday. I made Wikipedia:IA/C/P a shortcut redirect. At one point I wanted to get Iowa up to GA. I have suggestions at User:Ctjf83/Iowa, but that has gone no where in a year. I'm much more motivated to do stuff if I have another dedicated user helping me. Davenport, Iowa was a lot of work, most of it alone, so not really wanting to do a lot of work alone any time soon. CTJF83 chat 18:31, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I have been so focused on the Incorporated cities of late, I let Iowa go right by even though I did originally conceive it as a community. I agree Iowa needs to be improved to A-Class and therefore GA from it's current B-Class. I will try to digest the older information you have directed me to, if you have a chance could you delete any irrelevant info on your userpage/Iowa. I took a quick look at Iowa before I wrote back and seen a couple of things I could work on. Thanks for the priorities shortcut, someday I will need to learn how that is done.--RifeIdeas Talk 19:11, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Adopt

HELLO,...I seriously need to be adopted. My collegue and I, Cheong Kwon in the USA (I am in Switzerland) are totally virgin to Wikipedia and have started an article which we hope to make as professional and perfect as possible. I am very confused on how to add inline citations, references and other credible documentation sourses. Also, we want to "UN peacock" our subject....all of the fact are correct but we need help to make the article as meaningful as possible.

It is on the LBGTQ subject of the artwork/doll Mdvanii by BillyBoy* & Lala

Cheong Kwon initiated the article and is administrator and she'll make me co-admin as soon as she can figure it out.

We also need protection from a stalker, the artists have had a stalker for the last 23 years and he went into the article and added slurs, insults and overtly sabotaged the article yesterday He replaced all of the names with the name of a cheap toy doll made in france in the 60s known for it's cheapness. The stalker has been legally refrained from showing on internet venues as eBay, Etsy, Google, Yahoo such as Flickr and Blogger etc and GoDaddy.com but as wikipedia is new for us, as of yesterday he vandalized our article,...which in a way is okay once since it has further motivated us to interact with wiki experts and editors....we need protection from vandalism and good editing help....for the basics...it's very hard to understand for us. I hope since you wrote you have LGBT interest you'd be interested inhelping us as Mdvanii is a transgressive Queer art form made by a couple of artists who have been together happily for 28 years. Its very delicate issue writing about LBGTQ issues and we don't want to make any offensive, by error, mistakes. I hope to hear from you, this was the only way I figured out how to reach you...there is no contact button on you talk page. It'd be super helpful to talk to me on my talk page as that's the only place I know how to reply.... Kind regards, Alec Jiri Alec jiri (talk) 00:13, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
