Revision as of 13:37, 30 November 2006

Hello! I see that you redirected the article as per the AfD discussion. You made a mistake and redirected it to the Deletion Policy page, so I have corrected this. The correct way to redirect a page is to write #REDIRECT Target article. You left the double square brackets out, hence the mistake. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  19:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again!

Endicott Johnson Corp.

Regarding your comments on my revision of the Endicott-Johnson page that you started

Nimur wrote: I am considering creating a separate article for the Carousels of the southern tier. I have some old photographs of the Carousels (I believe it was a 75th anniversary celebration, circa 1999). I am wondering if we should create a separate article (given that the region is known as the Carousel Capitol of the World). Otherwise, I can post them here, or in the respective city articles. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your excellent content and edits, Mahatmabenfoo! Nimur 20:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Mahatmabenfoo replied: Hi, Nimur! I can't figure out yet how to contact you, so hopefully you will read this. First, thanks for the compliments! I don't live in Johnson City anymore, but I have an ongoing interest in the area, and visit it periodically. I have a collection of pictures and postcards of the E-J plants, but I haven't learned to upload them yet.

A separate article about the Carousel Capitol of the World makes sense. Many people who will be interested in the Carousels of the triple cities will have little interest in E-J who's factories are now mostly long gone.

I suggest you leave the very short treatment I gave the subject (as an enduring legacy of Endicott-Johnson), but yes, yes! a link to a separate more in depth article would be terrific. There's a lot to say about Carousels generally, and what percentage of the total of wood carved ones are in the Triple Cities area, and all that. I'll happily leave all that to you, and I'll be happy to send you what research I have on the chance you will want to use it. For example, how's this as an amazing bunch of (what are probably) facts: Between 1880 and 1930, the golden age of carousels, over 10,000 were built. Fewer than 200 remain and six of them are in Broome County! Nationwide only 13 carousels remain at the site where they were originally built, five of those are in Broome County (the Highland Park carousel was originally at Ideal Park now the site of U-E football stadium).

NC Highways WikiProject

Hey Nimur and welcome to the North Carolina State Highways WikiProject. Just edit and add stuff when and where you feel like it. I've noticed from the NC 54 and NC 55 articles, that you've pretty much got the idea on how it works. I just made a few edits on the infoboxes, which are no real biggies; they are just uniform proceedure stuff that we've picked up from other route WikiProjects. Right now, to get you up to speed on what's going on, we're having a so-called "naming convention" on the talk page of WP:NCSH about what the title of the NC Highway articles should be called. Right now we're using the "North Carolina State Highway x" format (where x is the route number). A member named User:SPUI requested that we change this format to "NC x"... something that I believed was too vague. So, we've been trying to compromise and so far we've come up with a "North Carolina Highway x" format to prevent something called a neologism that I just recently found the defintion to. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you can comment on that debate... and if you need anything, you can usually find it on the project page or just message us. --TinMan 22:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hezbollah Official Websites

I see you have claimed that the address of the "Official Hezbollah Websites" is disputed. It would be appreciated if you could put some further information on the talk page. JiHymas@himivest.com 23:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted a brief summary of my dispute at Talk:Hezbollah the Archive of Hezbollah Talk. If there are further discussion-points, we can address them at that talk-page. Nimur 00:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Final state highway naming conventions debate

Nimur, your participation is welcome in the Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll. Please give your input as to the process by 23:59 UTC on August 8.

Thanks for support

Thanks a lot for your support in the Guardians article. I reread the article and it sounds a lot better than before. Your work is very much appreciated and the wording is excellent. When I first read the Guardians article i was truly shocked to see such blatant racist statements about the Palestinians and others. Everyone has his biases but any objective person could see the explicit false and innacurate statements so i was outraged at how such an article could have been left unnnoticed (I wonder for how long though?). Anyway, good luck with other articles too.--Doge120 02:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also

Nimur, PLEASE also check the Etienne Saqr article and the Lebanese Renewal Party article, also, not a surprise, written by the Guardians themselves. Also if you know some "expert" on the Lebanese civil war can he please check the facts on these articles, some stuff is pure propaganda. Thanks--Doge120 05:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians who are rocket scientists

Hey there. You probably didn't notice this, but we just changed all the subcategories of category:Wikipedians by profession to "Wikipedian Xes". I'm wondering if you'd be willing to alter your user boxes to the new category:Wikipedian rocket scientists so that I can avoid having to put this on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion for a week or more. If so, thanks!--Mike Selinker 14:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NC 54

I believe your statement that NC 54's eastern terminus is near the capitol. I've seen maps and sources that say it ends at I-440 and others that say it ends near McDowell Street or other near the capitol. Can you find the exact terminus intersection in Raleigh? One of my most trusted maps has it ending at the intersection of Hillsborough and Salisbury streets. --TinMan 19:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another says Glenwood Ave. --TinMan 19:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I will investigate further. Nimur 15:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

North Carolina Highways Naming Convention

This has finally come to an end. All we need now from the WP:NCSH project members is a vote on which convention we should use at the National State Route Naming Convention Poll. If you would, please go to Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll#North Carolina and cast your vote. This should be the last time we should ever have to do this. Supermajority will decide what we should do. --TinMan 17:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject North Carolina

In an effort to expand this project, I've requested a bot tag most of the articles under the Category:North Carolina. If you could, please look over this list User:Betacommand/North Carolina and remove any that should not get tagged with the Wikiproject North Carolina Template. Thanks Morphh 01:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - After reviewing I found way to many that should not be linked. I've asked him to rerun it without Category:U.S. Highways in North Carolina & Category:Interstate Highways in North Carolina - This is spiderwebbing way to many articles. Also should remove the sub-sub Category:Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Too may Cats of Cats. Better to figure it out now though before we tag. I've taken a steb back and working on User:Betacommand/rollback and selecting Categories for removal from the tagging. I've also made some changes to the Categories that were causing such a prolem with liking unrelated articles. Morphh 15:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA

Hi Nimur. I am just writing to let you know that I have closed your RfA as your comment appeared to suggest that you had conceded defeat. It is good to see that you are resolved to carry out the improvements suggested by those who commented and stand again in the future. Many candidates disappear after a failed RfA, it is unfortunately the case that many people fail to realise that their is another person behind each username and go over the top with the criticism. Anyway, I am sure you will be successful next time with a bit more experience behind you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Yours, Rje 03:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
