Help with Washington Blade

Looking to ensure that the Washington Blade collage of papers image from the article isn't deleted for lack of a Fair Use rationale. I think I've added it correctly, but it's been a while since I've edited on Wikipedia. I know you've been active on the article some, so if you don't mind, please check my rationale and if I've done it correctly?? Thanks. jtowns (talk) 05:42, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"I should've killed myself when he put it in me. After the first time, before we were married, Ralph promised never again. He promised, and I believed him. But sin never dies. Sin never dies. At first, it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, but we never did it. And then, that night, I saw him looking down at me that way. We got down on our knees to pray for strength. I smelled the whiskey on his breath. Then he took me. He took me, with the stink of filthy roadhouse whiskey on his breath, and I liked it. I liked it! With all that dirty touching of his hands all over me. I should've given you to God when you were born, but I was weak and backsliding, and now the devil has come home.

I'm happy to see that User:Alansohn expanded the article and put it up for DYK, with current nomination here. Please do add more to the article and/or suggest an alternative DYK hook. The current one is okay but maybe a little wordy, IMO. Something punchier and that also refers to what can be seen in the photo is more likely to keep the photo included in the hook.

Mmmmmk. The Tallahassee page was edited by you, my friend. I don't know what that has to do with your edit to List of United States cities by population, a featured list. The article clearly states "The following table lists the incorporated places in the United States with a population of more than 100,000 as estimated by the United States Census Bureau for July 1, 2008." The article's hidden comment says "Do NOT CHANGE TO ANY FIGURES OR NUMBERS NOT MATCHING THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU. EDITS WILL BE REVERTED." You're citing a 2009 population estimate; that screws up the rankings since the entire list is using the same 2008 estimate. You're welcome, Sir.

Help

I created this username because Jehochman suggested that my previous ones were offensive to liberals. I agreed and did so, admitting that my first Wiki edits were sometimes inadvertently disruptive. He allowed and encouraged my new name. The bind I'm in is that even if the other grounds for blocking get lifted, I will always have two prior usernames. He obviously can't unblock an inappropriate username (deletion was one idea I thought about, but I don't know if that's possible). So what do I do?

Un foto, por favor

When you get a chance, can you please grab a good shot of the Lincoln Memorial? Our collection outright blows and Flickr is no better in the "encyclopedic overview shot" department. I'm going to do a rewrite soon and I need a straight-on shot. Right around 38°53′21.39″N 77°2′57.42″W / 38.8892750°N 77.0492833°W / 38.8892750; -77.0492833 would be good (that's right, step right on Alaska, you know it likes it) or further east if that's too close, and if you have a camera with a good zoom, try getting a shot from 38°53′21.86″N 77°2′27.98″W / 38.8894056°N 77.0411056°W / 38.8894056; -77.0411056 as well (just to compare). Morning would be best (sun behind you), with blue skies. Not sure if you can do it now, or if all the leaves have gone yet. But if you have to wait till spring, I can live. For now I'm using this, which is okay, but the stairs in the foreground are distracting. I really like this (and other similar versions at Flickr), but don't think a lead image should be a night shot. Don't worry about post processing, I'll do that.

historic house museums in newport, rhode island

Hi - I've been going through all of the Category:Museums in the United States by state in order and as you can probably tell, am up to Rhode Island. Although I understand the desire (in fact, back in the spring I did the same thing with art museums in Manhattan), there's been rough agreement that "where" museum categories and "what" museum categories should not be merged below the state or national level. Feel free to bring it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Museums if you'd like to get more people involved or read the old discussions. If you look at art museums in Manhattan though, I unwound it after the lessons I've learned doing 3/4 of the country. Newport has probably the most impressive collection of "cottages", and even though there are enough to justify a category, that depth doesnt work anywhere else, nor does splitting it up into two categories really hinder the goal of categories which is to help tie similar things together. Hope that helps explain it. BTW: I hope you notice I'm doing general cleanup along the way toodm (talk) 21:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Taxpayer March on Washington

I'd just like to remind you not use passive aggressive edit summaries, as singling an individual editor out is a violation of WP:NPA.

Doughtnuts - a subject close to my heart (screw the $5 cupcake fad in this strange, hipster-infested city).

At that time, I had an endless supply of free chocolate-iced, kreme-filled morsels; but, alas, my sugary supplier fell victim to KKD's nosedive. I exited stage right. Am I heartless? Maybe.
