Oh well

They were playing the (by far) best team in baseball so I guess I'll cut them some slack. Though you looked pretty good on TV ;-) --brew crewer (yada, yada) 03:23, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, and got to give Andy credit for apparently saying on the post game, "I was awful." I don't get why you trade for Pudge and then pinch hit for him in the bottom of the 9th. I adore baseball, but it makes no sense to me. I was surrounded by southerners tonight, was rather amusing to hear their take on NYC and the game. Made it on TV v. the Sox earlier this year, don't think I was today--would have been a melty pile of goo with frizzy hair if I was. Somehow I'd rather lose to the Angels of wherever they are this week than the birds. TravellingCari 03:39, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guess that's kind of weird. If they wanted to rest him they shoulda pulled him earlier. Spent half an hour today yelling at a friend of mine, a Tigers fan, about letting the Yanks get away with giving up nothing. He tells me "I hear he can throw 100mph" (rolling my eyes). --brew crewer (yada, yada) 04:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, that quote was said by someone in spring training earlier last year, I think, and the response from some of us was yeah, and the home run leaves the park at 200 mph" Farnsy is hit or miss, he had a good stretch until his recent appearance. I'm more surprised by the Manny deal. TravellingCari 12:10, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sticking up for me at that afd. I have no idea why I even got involved in that article to begin with, but if an afd hits my talkpage it won't go down without a fight. This Mussina guy is nuts. He's making a late push for the Hall of Fame. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 04:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which AfD? The Destiny one? It needs clean-up, but not deletion. I don't agree that every murder/disappearance is automagically notable but if consensus thinks that way, I'm happy to go with it. The idea that news sources are priimary is nuts. Of course if you're talking about anoher AfD then link please? I love my Moose. Beginning of the year I was ready to put him out to pasture but wow, he's turned it around and like Andy, he's the one I want to see out there when it matters -- *not* Ian Kennedy. Even Ponson. Not a Moose or an Andy but his MLB experience has taught him how to play when it matters. I'm looking forward to seeing Giese start tomorrow. TravellingCari 12:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, was referring to that afd. Dunno why the incompetents are bringing up some loser from AAA to pitch Saturday's game. Can't they find someone decent in AAA? Shouldn't they be rewarding pitchers that pitch well in the minors? --brew crewer (yada, yada) 22:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need to check it, I've been AfK (and mercifully, AfTVScreen as well) so not seen last bits. I was spending a lot of energy on an AfD that in the grand scheme, I don't care whether it stays or goes. I think though now it's at best going to be no-consensus since there's clearly none to delete. Stokes,... I know that name for some reason, maybe sibling?

Tag: Museums categories and subcats

Sorry, I havent had started yet ( fallen asleep :) ).. I am now working on this ... You want me to tag the articles in the above categories or tag the categories themseleves as {{WikiProject Museums}} ? -- Tinu Cherian - 02:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like the categories tagged as {{WikiProject Museums|class=Cat}}. Which would put them in the project and assess them. Someone set the template for me so that those tagged as a category wouldn't then need to be assessed for quality. Is that clearer? IF not, let me know and thanks again. TravellingCari 02:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect ! I understood. I will do the same and update you... -- Tinu Cherian - 02:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I ran recursively on the categories you had given to find the sub.. sub categories ( containing the word 'museum' ) and came up with this list:- User:TinucherianBot/Autotagg/WPMUS/Cats . Can you have a look on any possible wrong cats before I run the bot to tag them ? -- Tinu Cherian - 06:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done The cats were tagged. Please let me know if you want to tag the articles in the categories also -- Tinu Cherian - 09:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adsit

You're welcome. I should tell you that I cheat though. I use Elkman's infobox generator. Just put in Adsit and NY, and voila! It creates the box for me. Happy editing.--Appraiser (talk) 03:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just an aside, you often need to rework things like names and addresses, removing "architect: unknown", etc. It's not the tools fault, it's the underlying data.dm (talk) 15:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know, thanks. As I work through one of my favorite red link farms I'm sure I'll find an article or five to test it on. TravellingCari 16:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I haven't been able to respond to you until now or do more than a few edits. There's so much else going on.

I looked at the NRHP nom on the OPRHP website, figuring it probably wouldn't be too long. You know, it's just a log cabin ... right?

Wrong. You want sourcing? You got sourcing .... almost 24 pages worth. Single-spaced. Really interesting, though ... apparently that 1928 rediscovery of the original cabin is almost as important to its historical significance as its original historic status.

It certainly has one hell of a DYK hook potential, though "...that the Adsit Log Cabin] is believed to be the oldest log cabin in the United States still in its original location?" So we'll have to get to work.

On other fronts, over the weekend I stopped in Sloatsburg on the way down to my mother's house in NJ and got pictures of all four RHP listings there, so you don't have to go out to the western corner of your home county (I am guessing from wherever you live that would be about as far as you could get in Rockland County?)

ASPCA

I've been thinking about your question as to whether the ASPCA article should have a New York City focus. The fact that the ASPCA has a web presence and does lobby nationally (I beleive they charge a fee for the service) and they advertize nationally gives the impression that they are a nation wide organization. In reality, the ASPCA provides it's sevice to the residents of NYC. Their headquarters, Animal Hospital and Adoption Center is in Manhatten (in NYC), their Law Enforcement headquarters in in Long Island City (also in NYC). They do have an Animal Posion Control Center in Urbana, IL that provides advice over the phone (for a $60 fee). The ASPCA intentionally created the image that they are "American" and thus national, but I have found that they really aren't.

I was a volunteer Humane Law Enforcement Officer with the Suffolk County, NY SPCA and did become somewhat familiar with the organization 20 miles from my county border. We did do some joint training, and the officers I encountered seemed professional.

Perhaps the article needs expansion to shed some light on a confusing organization. What do you think? SGT141 (talk) 02:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Big game tonight, let the razz begin!

Don't worry, I won't rub in how badly you just got beat up by a suburban Los Angeles, low-budget team. We can't beat them either. Best of luck in this little Midwestern series, may the best team win!. Keeper ǀ 76 14:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, Sidney Ponson never did play well at the dome. Maybe the stripes will help him. I don't know how your coaches did it, but they managed to squeeze a bit more blood out of that turnip. Keeper ǀ 76 14:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2-0, I thought this year? I'm so fed up with how my boys are playing, no effort whatsoever. Mercifully I missed 2-3 games this weekend and still haven't learnt to use the DVR. I think the secret with Ponson vs. Ian "I do no wrong" Kennedy is that while Ponson is no Moose/Andy, he has the late season experience to pitch at these times. No question he's who I'd rather see on the mound now. As for the Angels... if you're gonna lose, lose to the best team in baseball. In the mean time, Go YANKS! TravellingCari 01:16, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ponson 2-0 for the Twins? Hardly. He was 0-2, in two home games in early 2007, and sent packing with a 10.3 era. Or was that really this year? I swear it was last year. Either way, someone picked him up off waivers (texas maybe), eventually worked his way back to newyork. I should really just go read his article instead of the guess work. Anywho, one game down, two to go. Wildcard ain't lookin' pretty. The two Socked teams are going to be battling the two lo-budget movers and shakers' teams for top spots. Yanks streak of playoff appearances is about to go the way of the Braves...Keeper ǀ 76 15:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LMAO, Iri. Before I realized where you put this I was trying to figure out what I'd done -- I hadn't tagged any notenglish lately :) Keeper, Ponson was 2-0 against the Twins, I thnk. I don't remember. He should have won last night if the Yankees remembered how to hit. I haven't given up with 6 games remaining against the Sox and Tampa, they can overcome this, but I agree they won't if they don't remember how to hit. Ponson or Kennedy, Ponson hands down. I wouldn't put him ahead of others but he's a solid 4/5. TravellingCari 16:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That list

Hi Cari! From my viewpoint, I think that list really needs to be chopped down -- you have libraries, zoos, Ground Zero, a surprising number of redlinks (considering the subject) and no sense of direction. You could have at least five different list-related articles based on what is compiled here. But that is my opinion. Thanks for thinking of me. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Black Tie Nights

In reply to your edit summary on Black Tie Nights, I added the CSD template when there was only an infobox. I'm sending this because I hope you didn't think of me going around and adding CSD templates to random articles. Cheers.--LAA Fan 15:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see when you added it and I think I'd have declined it then as well. Remember deletion (whether it's AfD, CSD, etc.) is not about what it is at the moment but also potential. It was obvious that there was context there, but other admins might have disagreed. I err on the side of inclusion. TravellingCari 17:27, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you valdalizing my personal talk page

Sister, why have you decided to vandalize my talk page repeatedly. I made two edits to two pages before you vandalized my page, I respected the warning yet you have decided to take it upon yourself to deface my personal page with non-official wiki-notes. I am sticking to strict Wikirules here and will have to defer your vandalism on my personal page to an admin with more authority. Please refrain from administrating on an issue where no rules have been broken. I competed no edits after your first "warning", please show some respect and refrain from following other users without respect to personal privacy rights and the ethics of being a good Wikipedian.
