Show

Do you mind if I go ahead with a radical workover on Show-within-a-show? I posted the question on talk a week or so ago, and got no response, so assume no one minds, but, you never know... Mark Richards 21:00, 17 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Admin

Thanks re:adminship. I will pop over & see you if & when I get around to it, but I figure on being here at least another month before contemplating it. Buttress did come together rather nicely for a random work picked off the Required list; but there's so much more to do. Best get on & see if I can convince a graphics program to give me some illustrations; lines of force are much easier to show than tell. Goof luck with your todo list --Tagishsimon

The name of several places are named

What was I thinking???older≠wiser 03:41, 20 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

many national librairies within countries

If the national libraies of Quebec and Catalonia are listed as being "under" Canada and Spain then logically the national libraries of the Faeroe islands and Wales should be "under" Denmark and the United Kingdom. Or maybe it should be vice versa. AlainV 05:16, 2004 May 21 (UTC)

Rivers

You got some U.S. rivers we don't know 'bout? Gotta have 'em all on that list. :) Say, I nominated our friend Bkonrad for adminship. Thought you might want to support him. -- Decumanus | Talk 05:10, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

40 acres and a mule

Thanks for correcting the length reference into area. I looked at the Public Land Survey System article and it says that a 'tract' is 576 mile&sup2. So do you think, as I do, that there is still something wrong with saying a tract of 36 mile&sup2?

LOL

Okay, were you responsible for the following on the Main Page?

...that the assassination in Sarajevo of Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria led to World War I? (Okay, you probably did know that one.)

Best chunkle I've so far this day. -- llywrch 17:11, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Hi back

I got your message. Sorry for putting unfinished work on public display. I will try to make a stable release and remove the stub message asap, meaning next week or so. Peter Kwok 23:41, 2004 May 22 (UTC)~

Thanks

for the Michigan history link--lots of goodies there. I'm temporarily without net access at home until our DSL comes next week, till then I have to sneak time at my wife's office on campus, so I'll move the treaties page when I have more time. older≠wiser 19:37, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Back Up For Adminship

Hello, just letting you know that I am back up for adminship. It is at the bottom under the self nominations section. ChrisDJackson

Gratuitously capitalized letters

Hello. Maybe this comes after you've already adjusted, but just in case: please don't capitalized letters merely because they're part of the title of a section. I've corrected this in several of your articles. Michael Hardy 22:30, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Did you know?

That the Humboldt River in Nevada is the longest river in the Great Basin and furnished the route of the Central Pacific segment of the transcontinental railroad? :) -- Decumanus 05:10, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the "List of U.S. states by postal abbreviation" article

Thanks for that, very handy for people not from the U.S. Sorry for putting such a list on my personal pages. I didn't think it could become an encyclopedia article but apparently it could. Could you please leave a note on my talk page when you reply to this? Paulus/laudaka (add me to your YIM/AIM/ICQ/M$N M contact list if you like!) Laudaka's talk page 02:05, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

United States history category

Hi there... I noticed you've been making a lot of additions to the United States history category recently. Unfortunately, it's turning into a bit of a mess because there are simply too many articles. Theoretically, every topic having anything to do with the U.S. could be linked to that category, but that wouldn't be a very helpful mode of organization. Nearly all of these should be put into subcategories—the National Security Council history articles seem like an easy and obvious candidate, as do any articles on Supreme Court cases. Some articles may deserve a link to the bottom level category (i.e., cases such as Brown v. Board, or wars such as the Revolutionary War—those that had an especially clear and lasting national impact), but not all, and we should exercise extreme restraint in deciding which ones. Subjects like President of the United States may have had a substantial impact on American history, but it has a more logical and direct association with the Politics of the U.S. category (though why it's called "politics" rather than "government" I have no idea). I think if we follow these sorts of organizational guidelines, these categories could turn out to be quite useful. Thanks! Postdlf 15:37 5 June 2004 (UTC)

Thanx again for the List of U.S. states by postal abbreviation article

You really made me a little more enthusiatic about editing Wikipedia.org. I just tried to enhance the List of U.S. states by postal abbreviation article. Could you have a look? Thanx in advance. You even made me so enthusiastic that I'm working on an article List of U.S. states by time zone, again especially for non-native speakers talking a lot on the net with people from the U.S.A. Thanx again ;-)

Picture of Union Station

I don't know if you have administrator capability, but I messed up when I uploaded the picture Image:Union-Station-LA-Waiting-Ro.jpg. I meant to make it Image:Union-Station-LA-Waiting-Room.jpg. Mike. Mackerm 20:06, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

BTW, Americans frequently (and with no apparant consistency) use the theatre spelling. Note my latest fantastic update to Cinerama Dome. Mackerm 20:11, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Picture of California Gull

I am not sure if the photo of the California Gull which you uploaded is in the public domain. There is a note on page http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/Infocenter/infocenter.html which says "This page is really a composite of the efforts of many people who have donated photographs, songs, and other information. The photographs, videos and songs are used with permission of the authors. Do not copy photographs, videos or songs without their permission!" Jim Stasz's Email appears on a linked page with a note saying: "Photographs displayed on this server are used with the permission of the photographers. Any other use of the photographs will also require permission. If you have an interest in using any of the photographs, please contact the photographers at the addresses given below" If you did get permission, then you should probably note that on the page for this image. --Big_Iron 21:34, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

That site is one of a few exceptions to the general rule about .gov sites. I put the image on IFD. --Big_Iron 10:10, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Phil Gingrey

Could you do me a favor and look over Phil Gingrey? I'd appreciate more eyes looking over it and coming to an NPOV version. Thanks, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:17, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Specifically, I'm not sure whether to include the Guantanamo stuff. See Talk:Phil Gingrey. Thanks, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:30, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Snellen Chart

Thanks for adding the picture of the chart! It looks great! Joyous 23:50, Jun 24, 2004 (UTC)

I'd say that if you had to choose between snellen chart and powdery mildew for dyk, you definitely picked the more interesting of the two. Joyous 00:00, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
