Roseohioresident (talk) 18:16, 5 February 2010 (UTC) Roseohioresident, thank you for the information on Whipple, Ohio and Whipple Run. I lead the 58 mile Whipple Section - Buckeye/ North Country Trail .We're named after the community, so it's good to know that it does sort of trace back to Commadore Whipple.

Your recent photos[edit]
Thanks for taking so many photos recently! One request — do you know if you could get out to the Seven Ranges Terminus? A photo of it would be highly useful. If you have the chance, you should check this page, which offers directions about how to get to it. Nyttend (talk) 21:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ahh, poison ivy...a pity that we're not invulnerable to it like all the other species are :-) Thanks very much! Nyttend (talk) 01:11, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to WikiProject Ohio![edit]
Hi, and welcome to the WikiProject Ohio! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ohio.
A few features of the project that you might find helpful:
- The open task box contains most of the project's work. You can add it directly to your user page by including {{Ohiotasks}} on your user page.
- All important discussions take place on our project's main discussion page; you can also watch this page to keep up with discussions.
- The project has some departments, which handle article quality assessment and new page patrolling. These pages have slowed recently and are looking for extra eyes!
- We also have a taskforce on our over 1,000 townships at which can be found at WP:OHTWP.
- You might also be interested in placing our userbox {{User WikiProject OH}} on your user page.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or any other member of the project, we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Population histories[edit]
You're doing well with the population histories for the various townships; keep it up! And thanks for the new pictures of the land offices in Steubenville and Marietta; I tried to get the Marietta office and the Putnam house, but unfortunately the museum was closed that day.

Invitation to join WikiProject United States[edit]
--Kumioko (talk) 03:15, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Rayland?[edit]
If you and your camera get a chance to go to southeastern Jefferson County, could you try to get a photo of the Stringer Stone House, located at 224 Warren in Rayland? I was there last spring, but forgot to get a picture; this page has a photo and explanation of how to find it. Additionally, could you try to get an overview of the construction site that's around 40°12′0″N 40°40′30″W / 40.20000°N 40.67500°W? There was formerly an Indian mound there (the Speedway Mound), but when I tried to find it last spring, locals told me that it had apparently been destroyed in the process of demolishing the raceway that used to be in the construction site. You could upload such a picture with a description somewhere along the lines of "overview of the area where the Speedway Mound used to be". Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 22:54, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
- No problem; thanks! One other thing: do you know if you could try to get to the Seven Ranges Terminus? It's in the woods, so the light won't be a big problem, and it's small enough that flash would work easily if you could find the marker. Plus, you won't need to worry about the poison ivy right now :-) Nyttend (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Jared Mansfield article[edit]
Just to say thanks for your many additions to the article on Jared Mansfield. Ishboyfay (talk) 23:10, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
NRHP photos[edit]
It's nice to see someone adding photos of NRHP sites near my old stomping grounds to our lists out here. It's been a hobby of mine for several years now to take photos of sites out here in the Bay Area and I've also made a few photo expeditions when I've been back to the Massillon-Canton area visiting family. Keep up the good work! --sanfranman59 (talk) 00:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Party column[edit]
I don't think we should have the same party carry through to multiple representatives. I think that if, for example, two Reps are both Democrats, then it should have a separate "Democratic" line for each of them. That's what we've done on other pages, but I'd like to hear what you think.—GoldRingChip 13:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
- The boilerplate for this topic is of no help, see here Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress/Congressional districts/Boilerplate . I have no strong feelings either way. A short look at other states seems to support what you are saying. Maybe I'll update the boilerplate to make it more clear, if that seems to be the unwritten consensus. Roseohioresident (talk) 18:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
-
- I wrote the Boilerplate, and nobody has edited it or commented on it. So that's just (again) my opinion, and not a consensus. Alas.—GoldRingChip 18:35, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
-
-
- The boilerplate seems to have no column for congresses. There is one approach, Ohio's 10th congressional district, that seems to be similar to the approach of List of United States Senators from Ohio, while others like Ohio's 12th congressional district seems to take neater approach. I prefer the latter. Maybe a better place to discuss would be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Congress/Congressional districts/Boilerplate. Roseohioresident (talk) 18:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

- I think I prefer the table at Ohio's 9th congressional district, where all the congresses served by that Rep are in the same box. —GoldRingChip 00:20, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Stringer Stone House[edit]
Thanks for the update! Can't say that I'm surprised; I went through Rayland a couple of years ago and tried to find it, but couldn't. Perhaps you could just stand at the Dairy Queen and take a picture of the open ground to the east? Better an empty lot (and likewise, an empty field for the Speedway Mound) than no photograph at all. Judging by the house numbers, I'm guessing that the coordinates for the house are too far east. I've started checking coords (and changing them on the lists when appropriate) for every photo that I upload; lately I'm hitting tons of bad coords, as you can see by looking at this series of changes from a photo trip that I've not yet finished uploading. Nyttend (talk) 19:02, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- I went through Rayland again today and photographed the spot where the house sat before its 1982 fire; I'll be uploading the image when I get the chance. Nyttend (talk) 00:47, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
J. L. Carpenter[edit]
Would you possibly have any sources to start an article on former Ohio state senator J. L. Carpenter? This is all I can find online mentioning him. – Connormah (talk) 06:18, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
- I'll look around and get back to you.Roseohioresident (talk) 19:06, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! Those initials I think were the first thing to find out - I'll do some looking as well. On the other hand, any chance of a portrait of him? – Connormah (talk) 02:39, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
-
- I couldn't find one. I'll keep an eye open. Roseohioresident (talk) 19:22, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

- I have come across some newspaper obits for Rupert R. Beetham - would you maybe like me to e-mail them to you so you can expand the article? There's a pretty lengthily one that I found that gives a bit more then what we have currently. – Connormah (talk) 01:47, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- Got the other house speakers. Let me know about the able as well. Also I'm remembering that I was going to an article on J. L. Carpenter a while back but never got the chance to: here's the info you were able to give me - do you think you may have any time to get this done?

- I'm sure this is old hat, but they probably went with Jr. because that's what he went by in congress, before his dad died. I think citing references should be faithful to the original, warts and all. I guess consistency has its place too.

John Smith[edit]
Hi Rose,
I noticed that you reverted my redirection of John Smith (Ohio Senator) to the John Smith disambiguation page. I did so because the disambiguator "Ohio Senator" seems to me (and likely to the casual reader) to refer to a member of the Ohio Senate and therefore to John Quincy Smith and not John Smith (United States Senator from Ohio). Because the title could refer to either of these people, I think a redirection to the disambiguation page, or else a simple deletion of the redirect, would be beneficial here. What do you think?
Neelix (talk) 18:05, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think you are amazingly astute to be the first reader on earth to notice this after John Smith has had an article for almost ten years. I can think of no one else who would think of a state senator when hearing the title "Senator" instead of thinking of a United States Senator. Roseohioresident (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
-
- Perhaps that is because you are an American. As an outsider, it makes much more sense to me to use the phrase "Ohio Senator" to refer to a member of the Ohio Senate, and this assumption is likely to be made by most other non-Americans as well, and Wikipedia is not specific to the United States. Would you object to having the redirect deleted? Neelix (talk) 22:15, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Survey: use of Chronicling America on Wikipedia[edit]
Roseohioresident:
My name is Donald Taylor and I'm the Wikipedian-in-Residence with the University of Maryland Libraries, Historic Maryland Newspapers Project. The Historic Maryland Newspapers Project is a part of the National Digital Newspaper Program, a joint program of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities. We are digitizing historic state newspapers for inclusion in the Library of Congress's Chronicling America online digital collection of America’s historical newspapers.
We are conducting a survey of Wikipedia contributors who have cited Chronicling America as a reference in their edits to Wikipedia. It is the objective of our study to identify ways that Chronicling America might be made a better resource for people editing Wikipedia. We recently used Linkypedia to identify contributors who have used Chronicling America. As an editor who has made use of Chronicling America, we hope that you will take our survey.
If you are interested in taking our survey, you can do so at this website.
More information about the survey is provided before you begin answering survey questions. Participation in the survey is strictly voluntary. It should take you less than thirty minutes to complete. You must be at least 18 years old to participate. If you have any questions about this survey, you can contact Donald Taylor, Wikipedian-in-Residence for the Historic Maryland Newspapers Project, at dwtii@umd.edu, or Elizabeth Caringola, Historic Maryland Newspapers Project Librarian, at ecaringo@umd.edu.
If you decide to take this survey, please do so within a week, by Wednesday, 31 July 2014.
Thank you for your contribution to our study.

Help[edit]
Hi, Roseohioresident! I'm confused here: there are 2 very similarly-named communities in Washington County, namely Grandview (U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Grandview) and Grand View (U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Grand View). Now I realize I have written Grand View, Ohio, but I don't know which of these communities the history section is describing. What should I do? – Gilliam (talk) 09:17, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, I didn't mean whether these 2 communities are notable... I'm stuck because there is both a Grand View and a Grandview in Washington County. Google Maps doesn't help me find out which one is where. I wrote an article called Grand View, Ohio but I'm not really sure which of those 2 GNIS links it refers to. If I knew how to enter the GNIS coords into Google Maps it would tell me.– Gilliam (talk) 04:31, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- So if "Grand View" is the neighborhood of Marietta, and "Grandview" is the unincorporated community, I made a mistake calling the page Grand View, Ohio. I'm going to move that page to Grandview, Washington County, Ohio. Right?– Gilliam (talk) 04:58, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
