Houston, Texas

Before making substantive changes to an article, please seek a consensus. Also, remember that information added to an article must be verifiable. When adding new text, especially controversial new text, it is good form to include a footnote reference to a reliable source. This not only helps to avoid extensive discussion and bickering, it also improves the entire article in a general sense. --Evb-wiki 21:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don't have time for that, all I know is that an article about a city should represent the people of the city.--Mphifer254 21:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please go to Talk:Houston, Texas and discuss with the other editors of the article. Thank you, Postoak 21:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Want to tell me why I'm blocked?--Mphifer254 22:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I reconsidered and decided to unblock both parties involved for now, but either may be blocked again if this particular edit is reverted again. I'd rather have both of you able to discuss on the talk page than stuck by a block. Even if you feel you are "right", remember that revert-warring advances nothing and just disrupts the project.

Request handled by: Ginkgo100^talk 00:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please note that changing something back is considered a reversion. --Ginkgo100^talk 00:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Autoblock of 68.201.118.165 lifted or expired. Also removed an autoblock set on Evb. Contrary to what we might intuitively expect, releasing the block on an account won't always release the autoblock on their IP -- apologies for the confusion.

Downtown

Were you downtown at the "Main Event" during the Super Bowl? What a party. I was hoping that this would happen every weekend. I'm a native Houstonian and never saw anything like it, except maybe for the "Rendezvous Houston" concert. Downtown has changed for the better (I think) since the light rail started. A new urban park is being built between Houston Center and the convention center. I also hear that a new multi-block shopping/retail/residential center is being built. Postoak 00:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well I don't get down there much but when I do it always seems somewhat empty in some parts. --68.201.118.165 00:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I used to go downtown maybe 1-2 times a years before light rail. I hear it gets packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Here is the new development I mentioned. [1] Postoak 00:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks alright. I think I saw the report on this project on the news. The only other major project I've heard about is that knew skyscraper that is supposed to be built in Greenway Plaza.--68.201.118.165 01:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This will also transform downtown [2]. I haven't heard about a new tower in Greenway Plaza. Maybe this is going where the old HISD building was demolished? Apartments and condo are being built everywhere in that area. Postoak 01:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's even been proposed yet. I just saw a design model a while back on a developer's website. I'll try to find the link.--68.201.118.165 01:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Water is fine

See, not so bad. David D. (Talk) 05:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Mphifer254, I just archived my talk, so I moved this here in case you were using it as a reference. Thanks Postoak 15:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you get your images from Flickr? If so, how do you go about obtaining the rights to them.--68.201.118.165 16:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a few of them. You can only use the pics that have an acceptable Creative Commons license. If you go to the flickr advanced search [3] and click only cc license, and then both the checks under that for commercial, and derivative works being ok you will only get results that are ok to use on wikipedia. Which are...

Also, and this is friendly advice! Please use log in and use your account when editing. Thanks Postoak 01:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a ton for all of that info, and yes I will remember to use my account because I understand it's confusing. I'm just usually in such a rush whenever I'm on here.--Mphifer254 15:12, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anytime, best wishes Postoak 21:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who's Got Game

I understand, but you didn't move the Drake & Josh page correctly. A cut and paste move destroys the pages editing history. Please see Moving a page. – Elected 18:59, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've requested the move at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Feel free to create the article about the TV series now (at Who's Got Game? (TV series)), and when an administrator has moved the page, you can create the disambiguation page. – Elected 19:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
