Camp Ashraf

Thanks for creating the Ashraf page. I have been waiting about a year for someone to start that page. Their are some subjects that I am just not willing to start the article myself. I don't mind editing though.

It's a small world, as I see we both also attended Fitchburg State College. I was a full time student their when the 102nd Field Artillery got the call to go to Ashraf and I got uprooted from school. I never made it back to that school, but I did love my time there. --JAYMEDINC 14:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Edits to Glenn Ordway

Thanks for the lecture. I am glad there are noble, dedicated people like yourself on Wikipedia to ensure the integrity of this fine website. --Leaveituptome1234 21:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for joining my fan club, I hope you come back soon! --Leaveituptome1234 15:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I wanted to personally thank you for getting my user name blocked on Wikipedia. Unfortunately for you, it is really easy to get around these restrictive measures. So I will be around here, catch me if you can! --Leaveituptome6789 15:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You reported me? How sad :( Makes me wonder, were you born with a sense of humor or did it just gradually erode with time? --Leaveituptome6789 17:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for reporting me to the proper authorities. I am indeed a sockpuppet, sort of like Lampchops, just far more annoying. I would like to thank you for being such a vigilant Wikipedia'er without people like you, facts would go unchecked, and people like myself would ruin an open sourced free editing encyclopedia. See you when my ban is up! --LeaveituptomeHardnfast (talk) 13:29, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Building coordinates

Greetings, Hardnfast. I see that you have added coordinates for two buildings I am very familiar with, One Financial Center and One Beacon Street, and for others in the area. What is your source of these coordinates? They disagree in a major way (as much as two full seconds!) with the FAA and FCC coordinates for radio masts on those two buildings' rooftops - as established with the help of GPS and surveying in at least the case of OFC. It looks as if the numbers you are publishing were obtained from Google Earth (or another program using a similar database), which has a notorious parallax problem with high buildings due to not looking straight down on these buildings. In any case, providing coordinates to two decimals (0.01) of an arcsecond suggests accuracy of about 1 foot, hard to justify unless obtained by actual survey with superior instrumentation. I hope you will not mind if I replace your coordinates for OFC and OBS with the well-established ones from the FAA/FCC database. Hertz1888 04:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your quick & supportive response. I will make the changes. I'm sure you are not the only one who has been misled by Google Earth into accepting coordinates obtained by centering on highrise rooftops. Somewhat greater accuracy can be achieved by estimating the center of a building's footprint (most feasible when opposite corners are visible), but I would never trust the result to better than 0.1 arcsecond, if that much. I enjoyed viewing your impressive user page. We have more than a few interests and sympathies in common. (That doesn't include the cigars). Hertz1888 22:43, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Listen, I wouldn't add something unless it was true. --76.19.169.20 23:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Contributes

Thank you for your help with my new articles I just created. If you don't remember, check Justin Masterson, Tony Granadillo, and Gil Velazquez. Lets help it become a better article. Feel free to leave me a message at my talk page. PS. Those articles you edited, were created in less than 2 days.--RyRy5 (talk) 02:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Me too, I already created 4 articles about Red Sox players. 3 of them are listed above. The other one is Hunter Jones. I also completed the aticles that weren't created on the Red Sox roster. If you look below, there is now an article for all Red Sox players on this roster because I created the last 4, so I then got the BoSox Barnstar.--RyRy5 (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

40 Man Roster

Hi - thanks for the message. I'm in the same boat as you - I'm not sure if there is a standard on this. I figured that it's just a bit more accurate to list him as a member of the team despite not having pitched since he remained on the roster (despite the Yankees asking him to accept a minor league contract - ugh). I'm not going to shed tears either way. I am trying to work my way through to update the Yankee roster and figured I should make at least one team conform. Either way, it's not a big deal for me. Maybe we're starting a new wikipedia policy... BWH76 (talk) 17:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response! I'll correct it on the Pavano page. BWH76 (talk) 15:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to join, just add your name to the list above the reports section.--RyRy5 (talk) 00:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I didn't see the new formatting on WP:SOX. The scouting report may have been deleted. I'll ask someone about this. I'll respond back whan I see what happened.--RyRy5 (talk) 15:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, look at the mainpage and you should see the heading Scouting Report. Click on the word edit next to the heading Reports to add your report. Please visit the scout members list and fill out your name.--RyRy5 (talk) 18:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
