16 in Shells

Absolutely! Any free picture of 16in shells would be good, but I am not sure if New Jersey would have shells up for display. I would imagine they would, since thats a part of the battleships history. As for the current 16" picture; I recieved word recently from one of the photo detectives that the image I uploaded may in fact be in the public domain. Aparently, the FAS website uses several DOD photo, and since the United States can not claim copyright on photos it takes (thank you, founding fathers) the fairuse tag on the page may soon become a PD tag.

On a similar but unrelated note: if you would like to uploaded pictures you take for use in Wikipedia and its various language spin offs you may want to think about creating an account on the commons. Doing this would allow us accsess to the photos and images even if they are not currently used in any article. TomStar81 04:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Not sure I can assist you from the post office viewpoint but I should remind you that sometimes you can find appropriate photos with a Wikipedia usable Creative Commons license on [www.flickr.com flickr]. ww2censor 03:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

What about this photo [1], though you would need the author to change the license? ww2censor 04:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Original Six

You got a point there. I went ahead and moved the template to "USN Original Six", per your suggestion. TomStar81 23:21, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Shields Up!

Yep, I saw the list of Susquehanna crossings and decided to create all of the shields that the page needed. The reason that I didn't make any four-digit shields is that there are no touring route shields for state routes higher than 999 in Pennsylvania. In fact, the only PennDOT markings for quadrant routes (SR 1000 to 4999) are on tiny white "reference markers".

Once you create more links for PA shields on the page, I'll make the necessary shields.

Eventually, I'll make a shield for every route in Pennsylvania, but you can only go so fast when you do them by hand. --TMF T - C 01:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the dab work on Susquehanna State Park (Pennsylvania) - I will expand it and add a locator map etc, next. Ruhrfisch 16:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

List of river crossings

I saw the great work you did on the Susqeuhanna river crossings. I would like to create a similar list for the Connecticut River. How do you obtain the bridge names (both road and rail) and the coordinates for the bridges? Thanks. --Polaron | Talk 16:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. The USGS Topographic Maps at http://www.topozone.com/ are your best resource. You can get a bridge name for well known bridges and the railway company, although sometimes you have to scroll along the line to find it. Also if you scale in to 1:24,000 and click dead center of the bridge you can read the DMS (have to change the display from UTM). Zooming on topozone is a bit awkward, fortunately you can use your browser's Back function to zoom out again. I usually have http://www.mapquest.com/ running on a different tab to check on street names and occasionally a route number as the former are notoriously lacking on topos. I like to run terraserver displaying ariel photos as well to scan for bridges and ruins. For some of CT River, I suspect you could find detailed imagery on maps.google.com, a luxury I didn't have for most of the Susquehanna. The toughest part is formal bridge names. Putting in the major local street name that crosses it is a good guess, leave it blank if you have a route number and would only be guessing. If you're really gung-ho, google for the town and the word bridge and see what pops up. Entering the coordinate data is the most tedious. Usually I'd cut and paste from an adjacent row, then edit in the minutes and seconds changes from the topo. Because it's tedious it's also error prone. I've had to correct some of mine and others work. Best to go through and check them later. One minor annoyance it that the terraserver ariel photos don't center on the coordinates when you go to check them. You can access all these map sources by clicking on a coordinate in my list. When you start working on yours, just click on the last one you did to resume at a later time. Good luck and good editing.--J Clear 16:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks so much for the info. Regards --Polaron | Talk 17:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Wiki fixation?

Is it a bad sign if you edit the Wiki during a layover in PHX using their free wireless?--J Clear 20:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you should take the Are You a Wikipediholic Test to see how you compare to other Wikipedians. I got 489.0475. Blarneytherinosaur 10:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Maybe I have a new set of criteria to add. Paying $10/hr and skipping a trip the the rest room between flights to edit surely has to score high.--J Clear 12:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
If you want that criterion added, you could leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Are You a Wikipediholic Test. Blarneytherinosaur 01:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Bexley Hall (disambiguation), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Bexley Hall (disambiguation). If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:50, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I responded to your move question on my Talk page. Please follow up there or at Talk:Bexley Hall if you need to. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 21:45, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Runner II, SS-476

My father was on the Runner II, SS-476. I posted a photo on the article page but I think he has some better pictures. I'll see if I can scan them. But I can't seem to find a list of crew members during WWII. Any idea why that might be such a challenge?Slothrop2

I don't think the crew rosters are widely available, like the ship's histories are. Your best bet is to find either an alumni association for that boat, or start posting questions on the various general submariner websites, of which there are plenty.--J Clear 01:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Bexley Hall

Apparently you were requested to move Bexley Hall (Seminary) to Bexley Hall creating a primary topic page. I don't think anyone agreed or even maintains there is a clear dominance among the items on Bexley Hall (disambiguation). "Where there is no such clearly dominant usage there is no primary topic page" -WP:D. So shouldn't Bexley Hall (disambiguation) have been moved to Bexley Hall? --J Clear 22:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Bexley Hall (Seminary) was the only entry on Bexley Hall (disambiguation) that was called "Bexley Hall" and was an actual article. The first entry is a deep link to a section of a different article. The third entry is called "Hall Place" and there is no mention in that article to say it's ever been called "Bexley Hall". That's a no-brainer to me. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Homeports

Hi. You reverted my edit to USS Georgia (SSGN-729), saying, "(rv - homeports are ports, not bases, see http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/lists/homeport.asp)". I'm not clear on what your objection is; that's a list of Navy facilities, not seaports. The Navy isn't renting civilian berthing space for its ships. The bases mostly take their names from the cities they're in, but, for instance, there's no town called Little Creek, Virginia. Towns like Bangor, Washington and Kings Bay, Georgia sort-of exist, but they're not where the ships are really docked, IMO.

There seems to be a couple of civilian shipyards on the list also, or at least that's the best guess I can make for the intended distinctions between "Groton, CT" & "Groton, Conn.", and "San Diego, CA" & "San Diego, Calif." I couldn't find any other reference to the Texas being in Groton, but "During the first few months of 2006, HALSEY completed her Post Shakedown Availability at BAE Shipyard in San Diego, Calif. In April, HALSEY left the shipyard..."[2]
—wwoods 07:30, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I should have referred to question I posed over on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships#Homeport when I saw your edit. My point being even the Navy lists the homeport by Port, not by Naval Base. When I dug up that navy list while composing the question, I felt that was enough for the revert. Maybe I'm splitting hairs. If the consensus develops for the other way, I'll put it back. --J Clear 11:21, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I think you're reading too much into CT vs. Conn. and CA vs. Calif. I thought those were just database incosistencies and lack of editing. --J Clear 11:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Copied to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships#Homeport, discuss there. --J Clear 11:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

redirects

Hi J Clear, Regarding your request at USS Lavaca (APA 180), generally speaking, if a redirect isn't hurting anything and is reasonable, it sticks around. I can certainly imagine someone trying to remember the name of the article and typing it into the article without a hyphen. This is besides the purely selfish motive that for every redirect that is left as is, I'm ten seconds up on getting to the rest of CAT:CSD. Thanks, BanyanTree 02:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Did you perchance look at the entire edit history on the redirect? I just got done creating a new article when I noticed the included {{Haskell class attack transport}} still had red for the article in question. I found that List of Allied ships at the Japanese surrender, which I've been creating missing articles from, had a typo (the missing "-"), now fixed. I would have done a redirectless move w/o creating the redirect at all. So I requested the speedy to clean up what I see as a useless redirect. Are you saying that every USN ship article in wikipedia ought to have this redirect, in case someone who even knows about USN hull numbers doesn't know that they have a hypen? The scary thing is that the original typo may go back to a 1946 USN document. --J Clear 02:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, of course I looked at the history while evaluating the request. Don't put up straw men - I said if a redirect is harmless, there's no point in grinding it through the wheels of wikipedia process. I believe that we have just about reached the limit of productive discussion on this matter and will be removing your page from my watchlist. Best, BanyanTree 03:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about the straw man comment. That was uncalled for. It's been an odd stint at CAT:CSD and I think I better stop for the night. - BanyanTree 03:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the formatting expertise on I class destroyers. Next step is to see whether I can extend the class infobox to ships of the class. Folks at 137 22:53, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Hardly "expertise". I just fooled around with what little I did know in preview until I "got lucky". Good way to learn.--J Clear 23:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I like the expansion of the vfnhp page. I moved your work to the chapel page. Do you have a citation for the paragraph? --evrik 02:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC) I forgot to say, I don't know about the trail ... How's this, "The chapel and its attached carillon are not technically not part of the park, but serve the spiritual needs of the park and the community that surround it." Do you know much about the train station? --evrik 03:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Have you seen this article, "A new view of Valley Forge"? It has a lot of good information for the Valley Forge National Historical Park article. --evrik (talk) 14:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

USS Bellatrix (AKA-3)

I'll be glad to update this article to include the current DANFS material, but I want to be sure we aren't both working on the same thing. What say you? Lou Sander 12:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

It's all yours. It's just on my watch list (I think I added a category), so I thought I would comment. --J Clear 00:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Stackable ship infobox?

Hello! I'm just writing to ask you about the stackable ship infobox that you mentioned here. I think we could do some awesome stuff with it, and I wanted to ask you if you were still interested in finishing it up. If you're running into problems with it, maybe we can work on them together, though I don't have much template experience and my experiments with the infobox sort of failed.

manic depression

Instead of making articles like you did for Manic Depression (song) all you need to do is make a disambiguation page.--Tainter 01:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll get to that eventually, maybe, unless I forget. Of course then one has to decide if Manic Depression (song) is notable enough to break the redirect to Bipolar disorder, or if we go with the ever popular MD redirect here, for other uses....--J Clear 01:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Animated Turret

Depending on the gun turret in question, there are both fixed and rotating hoists. In the example in question here, the BL 15 inch Mark I, the lower hoist does rotate with the turret. The shell hoist is mounted on a rotating ring so that the shell can be passed into the hoist from a range of angles. The charges are man-handled from the handing room into the hoist. These details aren't illustrated for clarity's sake. Emoscopes Talk 19:15, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Museum ships

Hi. Please see my edit summary. Cheers. Ingolfson 13:50, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Point accepted. Are you optomistic that a good number can be found, or should we go ahead a delete the statement now? --J Clear 17:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
As a 'moving target' (and an international one as well) I think we will be hard-pressed. We could list the number given in the 'museum fleet' of the association I recently linked as references to. Obviously this would have to be a qualified statement. I.e. "there are over X museum ships organised in..." Ingolfson 10:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Hilliers cave and geology assessment

Hi, I noticed you added a Wikipedia:WikiProject Geology/Assessment to Hillier's Cave which is on my watch list. Should this be added to all the other Caves of the Mendip Hills & possibly to Mendip Hills (which is a FA)?— Rod talk 13:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, you had me confused for a second. I just added the project banner w/o setting any associated assessment flags. And I heartily endorse adding appropriate project banners to discussion pages as it helps members of the project find potentially orphaned articles. If the article is already rated FA, then setting the class flag in a new project banner is generally appropriate. If the article is an obvious stub or start, then setting that class is usually OK. If the "importance" flag is used, I would not copy that over from another project as importance criteria is usually very project specific. --J Clear 14:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, J Clear, I just wanted to thank you for the comments you left at my editor review. I greatly appreciate the advice, especially since I wasn't aware of the correct placement of stub templates; I've always been a bit confused concerning that, and usually ended up grouping them with other templates (hence why I moved the stub template up to my newly created Toni Morrison template). I'll be sure to keep them in their proper place from now on, however. :) Take care, María (críticame) 14:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Request for review

Could use another informal article review please, if you don't mind: USS Koka (AT-31). Didn't intend to write any ship articles until I get around to reading all the WP:SHIPS guidelines, but my massive shipwreck categorization effort is, well, massively stultifying too - and I've read so very many ship articles in the process that I figured I could probably wing it as far as ship article conventions go.

New River

The only reason I had reverted your linking in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida article was because I took a look at your contributions, and it didn't appear that you were planning on creating a stub on the river. Most of your editing is focused elsewhere (Navy ships and the Philadelphia area, coincidentally enough; I have some familiarity with both).

Writing an article on the New River was something that has been on my list of projects for quite a while, but there is very little information about the river itself available online; it's not been important enough to go to the UF library digging through dusty USGS tomes in an attempt to figure out the length and depth of the river before it was converted into a canal.

Thank you for creating a stub; hopefully, it will not get nuked by an overzealous new page patroller. I'll add it to my watchlist. Horologium (talk) 14:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I've drifted a bit off ship editing. Although the New River stub is indirectly related to things nautical as I was trying to fill in a redlink in The Lone Sailor. I'll probably rename the stub as I found another set of redlinks using county name disambiguation, which seems to be preferred. --J Clear (talk) 14:11, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Haskells

I only created a subset of these articles, but I didn't know about the MARAD site when I created them. I guess now I've got to go back through about 200 ship articles to see if they need updating, so I'm not sure whether I should thank you for this information or not ;) Gatoclass (talk) 03:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lance Jost

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Lance Jost, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. –Black Falcon (Talk) 18:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Green Line/Lane

Thanks for fixing "Green Line" at National Register of Historic Places listings in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania — sadly, the database from which this table is drawn contains many small typos, and most of us who don't know the area have a hard time finding them. If you find any other such errors, please be sure to correct them. Nyttend (talk) 03:03, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. You may have noticed but there are also things in the wrong county. For instance there is a bridge in Chester County that got listed in MontCo due to the landmark being listed relative to Mont Clare, which is absurd since the much larger Phoenixville is in between. And stuff in MontCo was listed in Chesco since it was given as north or west of Phoenixville. I fixed up some of that, but as you say it's only noticeable to me because I live in the area. --J Clear (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:AIM-54 Launch.jpg

File:AIM-54 Launch.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:AIM-54 Launch.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:AIM-54 Launch.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 20:35, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Cats before stubs

I try to, when I'm doing things manually. Thing is, for a lot of categorizations I use HotCats, and that automatically fills in the categories after the stub tags, not before. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:24, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Danish UNIX User Group. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danish UNIX User Group. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Autoreviewer

Hi, after seeing one of your articles at newpage patrol, I was surprised to see that an editor who has contributed quite so many articles as you hadn't already been approved as an wp:Autoreviewer. So I've taken the liberty of rectifying that. ϢereSpielChequers 16:51, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't like to ask for special bits as I'm always slightly suspicious of those who ask for themselves. And spontaneous peer recognition is always appreciated. --J Clear (talk) 16:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome, I recently spotted that there is a gap in the process, as contributors who submit lots of articles are only spotted and considered for autoreviewer if they submit articles in batches. If you write an article every wednesday evening you could do so for years without becoming an autoreviewer. I'm currently trying to address that gap, and getting some very diverse interesting reading as a result. As for not liking to ask for special bits, do you revert enough vandalism for wp:rollback to be of use to you? If so just have a read of the rules and tell me when you would and wouldn't use it. ϢereSpielChequers 17:59, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I do scan my watch list for and will revert vandalism when spotted. Rollback would be slightly easier to use, but I don't do anything like patrolling, so I get by OK with "undo". If the tool is there though, I'll use it. --J Clear (talk) 18:10, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Well checking your watchlist is a form of patrolling, so you now have Rollback as well. But please remember if an edit could be interpreted as good faith use undo instead, as rollback automatically generates its own edit summary. PS Happy New Year. ϢereSpielChequers 19:02, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for my holiday "presents". --J Clear (talk) 19:13, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Daybreak

Hello. As per your request on my talk page, I have userified the content of the deleted article Daybreak (folk) to the page User:J Clear/Daybreak (folk). Once you have improved the article to the point where you are sure it meets the notability requirement in WP:BAND, you may move it back into article space. Please let me know if you have any questions or issues. Good luck! — Kralizec! (talk) 22:25, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

If the article is moved back to namespace and kept, just let me know and I can merge the old histories from the previous versions in with the new one. And I should also add that it is no bother at all; I became an admin because I like helping people.  :-) — Kralizec! (talk) 16:28, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Isn't it interesting how many editors don't have a clue how to write clearly? There's a failure somewhere...

Thanks for the note. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. --Manway (talk) 04:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

And you. You do bring up another language discussion though, and somehow I doubt it was unintentional, namely is the pun the highest or lowest form of language. --J Clear (talk) 01:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Usability of GeoTemplate

Comments on the usability of {{GeoTemplate}} (the page listing mapping services found by clicking on coordinates in articles) are invited, at Template talk:GeoTemplate#Usability redux. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 17:56, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I note that you have suggested that Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge be split, and have given a rationale on the talkpage. I am not familiar with the bridges mentioned, and the information within the article is not that clear; however, if your assertion is correct, and that Veterans Memorial Bridge is a distinct bridge without a clear relationship to other crossings at this spot, while Wright's Ferry Bridge and Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge are renamings of the Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge, then you are able to do the appropriate splitting and merging yourself. We do normally keep all different versions of a bridge in the same article, as with London Bridge and Rochester Bridge. I will remove the split request and leave you to do the merging and splitting as appropriate - if you need any help with any aspect of this, please leave a note on my talkpage. SilkTork *YES! 17:53, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

How long ago did I put that split suggestion in Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge? Anyway, I will probably not get to that. I've been staring at my latest work in progress for months and only been making spot edits here and there. If you think it's still worthwhile, you should leave the split template in there and perhaps someone else has more round-tuits. --J Clear (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Unfortunately the only person I am aware of who is dealing with the Split requests is myself. If a discussion does not develop soon after tagging, then the tag remains on the article without any action being done until I get to it. You are the person who feels that some action needs to be taken, and if your assertions are correct then there is nothing to prevent you from going ahead and doing those actions; nobody has objected, and there is no need for admin action. However, I am unwilling to do those actions myself as I don't know the topic, so it would mean researching into the history of all the bridges concerned to ensure what I was doing is correct. If you don't feel that the situation is important enough for you to do it, and nobody else has felt like doing it in the 18 months since the article was tagged, then I am quite happy to leave things as they are, with a record on the talkpage of the request and response. SilkTork *YES! 10:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Manor of Gilberts

Very nice work on the Manor of Gilberts article. I found it from the Pennsylvania template without class or importance. I removed the stub template on the article, and added {{WikiProject Pennsylvania|class=start|importance=low}} to the talk page. I would appreciate it if you would consider adding a rated template when creating a new article and talk page. I have a goal of eliminating all unrated Pennsylvania articles, and I am down below 700, with only ships and radio stations remaining. --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited List of cities and towns along the Schuylkill River, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Manayunk (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

passing out

Hello, Good day to you.

With regard to your comments on the 'Bear Grylls page' Passing Out doesn't indicate passing his tests or exams or physically passing out with exhaustion say, but a British Army Term,

People mark the end of the first stage of training with what the Army calls a ‘passing out’ parade. Family and friends are invited to watch as new recruits formally become soldiers.

Kind regards

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Iron Hill Brewery, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Pennsylvania Area Codes

I don't bother with PNG files for area code maps any more, I switched to SVG format about three years ago. If you go to List of Pennsylvania area codes the map is an SVG map, and so are the maps on each subsequent area code. This is because editing SVG images is much easier than actual pictures (an SVG image internally is a text file) and if you want to change something the regions of the map can be readjusted. I am going to change over to a "master-secondary" map format, where I edit the master map file:Area codes PA.svg (I did this for California's area code maps) then make copies of it (with the specific area code marked in red) as it makes it easier to keep all the information in sync, and means all the maps are the same size,which makes the map clickable to select any area code by clicking on it, and ensures it works for all of the maps. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) (talk) 16:28, 10 April 2017 (UTC)


Thanks for your response on my page. I want you to go to List of Pennsylvania area codes and see how they now look. All the area codes in the map are clickable to that page, each one marks that group in red, and all of them are correct to current, even to removing the proposed area code the Public Utilities Commission did not enable. I think this is nicely done and should now be accurate and up to date. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) (talk) 02:05, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Notice

The article Manic depression (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic redirect points to an article with a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
