Welcome to my talk page. Please leave me a message below and I will reply on your talk page. Although my email address is enabled, it is not an address I check often (so I may be slow in replying to email). Please also note that while I am glad to do a peer review on just about any article, I do not have the time to do copyedits (sorry). Thanks for stopping by and happy editing!

Williamsport Baseball

Will you check this template? When I try to edit it, it says that the template doesn't exist when it obviously does. I need to change the Grays from 1938-1942 to 1924-1942 Dincher (talk) 02:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

thanks. I figure out how to edit it, but still can't from the template when it is displayed on the articles. Dincher (talk) 03:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

{{Minor league baseball in Williamsport, Pennsylvania}}

Cool. My head is about to hit the keyboard. Have fun! and Good night. Dincher (talk) 03:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Good work! Dincher (talk) 03:24, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

You probably noticed that I am starting to work on Bowman Field. There is some interesting stuff to add. It used to be huge! I hesitate about weighing in on other FACs while we have one up. I don't want to seem like I am trying to curry favor by supporting another and I don't want to step on any toes. I think the only FAC I opposed was Hillary Clinton. That article was just too fluid at the time. Another problem I have is I just can't read something I am not interested in reading. So I guess I shouldn't complain. I am sure that there are people who don't care to read about a state park in Tioga County. Dincher (talk) 23:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

More pics of Bowman Field would be great! Dincher (talk) 02:29, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

It's really been so long since I've been to the park, I really don't know. If Bresnahan's number is still on the wall, that would be good. Historical marker, a pic of the roof from the inside of the park, to show what it looks like and looked like in the past. I don't think this has changed to much. I know that the exterior is very different. Thanks and good night. Dincher (talk) 02:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I started Williamsport Tomahawks tonight. There just isn't enough there or available for a DYK. I do remember getting a Ron Hassey card when I was really young and being thrilled that Williamsport was on the back of the card. Dincher (talk) 23:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks as always for the copy edits. There just isn't much there without getting elbow deep in microfilm. Oh, well.--Dincher (talk) 00:04, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Cartography

So, I need to make two maps documenting trips that Mary Shelley took. I thought this would be a good time to learn about mapmaking. Could you offer me some guidance regarding programs, etc.? Thanks! Awadewit (talk) 14:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

Fanno PR, autoformats

I always appreciate your input. On the other hand, I see that you are extremely busy, and I don't want to make more work for you. So, how should I put this? I won't be disappointed if you don't comment, but if you do comment, I will take your suggestions seriously.

On another topic, I wanted to mention that I used the autoformatting undo script favored by User:Tony1 on Balch Creek as a test case. It removed the autoformatting from the main text, infobox, and tables OK, but it doesn't change the autoformatting in the citations. For the sake of consistency, I unformatted the citations by hand but put the "accessdate" information outside the cite template, which seemed to yield either a blue link for dates it could autoformat (2008-05-12) or a red link for dates it couldn't handle (May 12, 2008). However, it turns out that substituting "accessdaymonth" and "accessyear" for "accessdate" in the template achieves the same end, no autoformatting. I'm telling you this in case you ever want to try it (if you haven't already). I have not taken part in the pro-con arguments about autoformatting, but I want to be ready to jump in either direction. Finetooth (talk) 03:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Good thinking - I was wondering what to do about this conundrum. Ben MacDui 17:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I have decided to unlink the dates in articles on which I'm the main contributor, although I may not get around to Johnson Creek and its little friends for a while. When copyediting for someone else moving an article toward FAC, I'll ask the main contributor what he/she would prefer. Fauna of Scotland is now unlinked by my hand. Finetooth (talk) 16:13, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Leonard Harrison State Park

The latest additions look good to me. I agree, this one has been going very slowly. But I think it's going well, as far as good content goes. There's no need to hurry up and get bad news at FAC. Do you think we should place the history section first? History is first at Black Mo and Presque Isle, but not World's End. I do think that it's fine as is, but I can live with it either way. We could always wait for PR or FAC to do this. Dincher (talk) 22:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Getting Colton Point, the gorge and the creek up to FA status should be easier after, hopefully, getting this up to FA. I was just looking at Ohiopyle State Park, it along with Oil Creek State Park should also be easy to get to FA, lots of pics and interesting histories. I am sure the recreation section of Oil Creek can be expanded. Dincher (talk) 01:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

We can tag team Pine Creek if you want. I should be able to help with history, ecology, etc. Don't know if I'll be much help with the course and that type stuff. Well good night. Dincher (talk) 02:27, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I think I replied to all of the latest stuff at Leonard Harrison. Lots of good finds. Also Amd194 is getting more active and is seeking help at Ronneburg, Hesse, in case you don't have enough to do! Dincher (talk) 22:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I just uploaded a pic of Leonard Harrison on the commons side. Dincher (talk) 22:38, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Oops. I turns out that was a mistake. It's now uploaded to wikipedia. I think the rationale needs some tweaking. Dincher (talk) 22:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the Harrison template. I like the brownish pic better than the blue. Thanks for checking out the German Castle too. Dincher (talk) 01:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

The expanded lead looks good. I will check all of it closer in a bit when I get to work. Dincher (talk) 19:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I am in the middle of reading through it now. It looks very good. You've added lots of good stuff. I specified what Tiagdahton (sp?) was and fixed a spelling error. So far it looks great!

The plans sound good. I think reorganizing it will be good too. I posted some thoughts about the trees on the talk page. Dincher (talk) 22:46, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the nomination in. The new "old" pics look good. Dincher (talk) 01:36, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I really like the log raft pic. I've seen the one of the man in the stumps before. Dincher (talk) 01:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

If you haven't asked already, go ahead. Have fun today! Dincher (talk) 13:50, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Nope, those three should be fine. Dincher (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that Leonard is ready for FAC. My schedule at work is full this week, meaning I'll have lots of time to address any issues. Are you ready to go forward? Dincher (talk) 21:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I will be working on the Williamsport baseball articles over the next few days. There is some, but not much good stuff in the Williamsport baseball book by Hunsinger. Dincher (talk) 00:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Leonard Harrison State Park has been nominated. I didn't see any new news on your or Moni's talk page. I am going to let her know that I moved it to FAC and any comments etc, would be greatly appreciated. Could you check and make sure I followed all the required steps. I think I did it right. Dincher (talk) 22:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure. I'll add a bit about the model articles. I forgot about this. Wikiwords like transclude leave be befuddled. I am glad you fixed it! Have a good one. (We've had Drama Mama drama at the old homestead tonight, ugh.) Dincher (talk) 03:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

If I was a Drama Mama I would've said that you added the modeled bit to be mean and to hurt my feelings! But I am not, thanks for getting it! I hope this one goes well. Good night again. Dincher (talk) 03:17, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I know. I like having thick skin. Old Lenny is all yours. Dincher (talk) 03:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I knew that pachyderm's had thick skin but I didn't know that it literally meant think skin. Good luck emailing the park and getting an answer. Have a good day. Dincher (talk) 10:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I am going to start working on the Williamsport baseball articles tonight. Did you start Leonard Harrison yet? I can't do anywork on it because of the limits on the computers at work. Dincher (talk) 22:28, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

It is just me or is the FAC very slow? I've look briefly at some of the other FAC's and there isn't much support for any of them. Just lots and lots of comments. Has the system been changed or we just dealing with summertime doldrums? Dincher (talk) 22:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

It's cool that we made FA again. Thanks for the great co-operative work. Dincher (talk) 15:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

When I look at Leonard Harrison State Park now it loads up the picture in the info box loads HUGE. Does it look okay for you? Dincher (talk) 00:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

It's still huge. I am at work now. I'll look when I get home. I imagine that it will be okay. Tweak if you wish. Dincher (talk) 01:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

The Lenny pics look fine from home. I will look at work tomorrow. Dincher (talk) 19:47, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll look if I remember. Somebody snuck his way into another picture. This time in Roseville. Kind of like Where's Waldo on wiki. Dincher (talk) 20:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

About the peer review

Hi. I want to thank for all your comments regarding my lists (List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums of 2000 and List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums of 2001). Now I want to know if you have something else to add about them. I just sent again the list for 1999 to the FL.

Gulen

hi. i think i gradually was able to make quite some modification in the directions you suggested. i do not know much about GNU license, copyright of the images, etc. i do not know how to upload a file and put it to the article page either. i was wondering if it would be possible for you to help me with that. i emailed his official website to upload some pictures of Gulen, but got no answer yet. so, i would appreciate if you can upload some pictures of him and put to the article page: Fethullah Gulen. Some of the pictures i think is important and would prefer to post on the article page can be found here: http://tr.fgulen.com/content/view/12079/14/, http://tr.fgulen.com/content/view/12077/14/. thanks in advance...

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Wellsboro_and_Corning_Railroad_Herald.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wellsboro_and_Corning_Railroad_Herald.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 23:58, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

P.S. The new file Image:Wellsboro and Corning Railroad.jpg was uploaded by User:Jss5104 who also sent it to OTRS, claiming to be an employee of the railroad. howcheng {chat} 00:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

This new file seems to be damaged somehow, so I used the .gif in the main article instead. If the .jpg file is fixed, it's probably preferable since it has an explicit OTRS permission as you note, but as it stands it's unusable. Plvekamp (talk) 00:25, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Funny, it looks perfectly fine to me on a completely different machine. howcheng {chat} 03:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Material for a trip to Harrisburg (archives), maybe. Thank you also for your offer.

Algonquian/Iroquoian place names

Thanks very much for your attention--Pennsylvania is difficult to categorize because of the two language groups found there. User:CJLippert is more of an expert on Algonquian languages (specifically Ojibwe) and he can usually figure out the meanings of place names even if he doesn't speak all the languages. I'm just helping out because I'm fascinated by the dichotomy in U.S. society of a basic willful ignorance of Native Americans and their culture, and at the same time we're blanketed by names of places, animals, etc. from them (seeing as they've lived here for over 10 thousand years, that seems quite natural)!  :) I should think the etymologies should be added directly to each river article (if well sourced) so there's no confusion in the future. Badagnani (talk) 18:08, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I notice a lot of this on this page

Hi Ruhrfisch, hope all is well. Just want to ask your opinion on this article - do you think it's ready for FA now? I managed to get a couple of photos released which should be enough to satisfy the images requirement. If you think it's ready I'll nominate it promptly. Oh, and I was looking around - would it be the first track and field bio FA? I particularly relish the irony of this article being promoted during the Beijing Olympics! Thanks.

Fanno Creek

I've solved the last problem, I think. I added two much-needed paragraphs to the History section and a new paragraph to the Pollution section. Otherwise, the article, with the possible exception of nearly invisible tweaks, is unchanged since you last saw it. If you have a chance to look at it again, that would be great. Absolutely no hurry, though. Many other things to do, as always. Finetooth (talk) 19:27, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Why so much concern of hyphens? Dincher (talk) 03:58, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

All the changes look fine to me. The hypen issue is way over my head and there it shall remain. Did we give groundhogs for Worlds End? If we did I will send them to the three supporters. Did we really pass with just three supports? Dincher (talk) 22:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Since we didn't send out groundhogs last time, I don't see a need to send them this time. No need to throw the litte critters around like confetti. Dincher (talk) 01:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You are planning on getting a bridge or two up to FA now, right? I could also start working on Colton Point. Most of the heavy work is done. Dincher (talk) 01:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations

I don't think I remembered to say at FAC how much I like Leonard Harrison State Park. I was sure it was FA and wished that my FAs could be as good. I admit to strong bias in favor of Pine Creek and its environs, which I know very well and, dare I say, pine for. Regarding the hyphens, Tony is right. I used the same awkward hyphenation in the first sentence of three of my creek leads, and I have now changed them all. Hyphens and comma splices are what I eat for breakfast, by the way. Very good with nonfat soy milk. Finetooth (talk) 17:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: Harry Potter PR

Hi there,

Thank you for your comments on the Harry Potter peer review - I've looked through them and have made adjustments as you have suggested.
