United States Life Saving Station

Somebody recently created this article, and it appears this is the life saving station that came before the Andrew Broaddus, but it's hard for me to be sure. I figured I would let you know about it, as you know better than most what to do with topics like this. Thanks! Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. That should be a start. The new article isn't a bad idea, but a lot of it belonged in the Broaddus article.--Bedford 04:08, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

National Historic Landmark list

Hi. You added the cleanup-restructure tag to List of National Historic Landmarks by state, but didn't specify the problems that you see on the talk page. The reason I'm concerned is because I've already been doing some cleanup and restructuring of the list, one state at a time. Did you add the tag because of the old, messy, and incomplete structure of the list? Or is there something I could be doing in my work to better conform with Wikipedia's style standards?

(The states I've already cleaned up are DC, HI, OR, TN, and UT. I'm also working on IN, ME, and SD in a sandbox area on my user page.)

Thanks! -Ipoellet 12:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I did it because the organization of the landmarks were not consistant, as some states just have an unorganized list, while others are divied by city, while others are in boxes. If you are cleaning it up, it's appreciated, but I still think the tag is needed, as it might encourage someone to help.--Bedford 15:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

That's cool. I understand what your point is now, and I agree. Thanks. Ipoellet 04:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Page move

Please don't perform a "cut and paste" move. The right way to move an article is by using the "move this page" link, which preserves the edit history. I've fixed Lexington Cemetery. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 08:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

More like butcher it by removing all the cleanup I did of the article.--Bedford 11:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

That was my mistake, I reverted to a previous version in the course of fixing the move. Thanks for your improvements to the article. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Indiana Register of Historic Places

<SNIP>

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Indiana Register of Historic Places/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Indiana Register of Historic Places saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! The Evil Spartan 17:51, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Why should I feel welcomed after this? Anyway, since this was just a list, I removed anything that could reasonably be seen as a copyvio, and just have a pure list, even if it still needs some cleanup. Thank you for raping me of my lunch break.--Bedford 19:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Your recent PRODs

Heya. When you tag an article with a prod, use {{subst:prod|reason}}. Otherwise, it doesn't turn out properly. See WP:PROD for more info. I already fixed the articles you tagged earlier. --UsaSatsui 21:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Info Boxes for Indiana Covered Bridges

Thanks for updating the info boxes. I also just tried the info box generator and it works good, that is cool. Just an FYI after trying to generate a couple of other info boxes the coordinates on some bridges are not as accurate as my GPS coordinates. Just FYI..... Histrylover34 21:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Then we'll just have to do the automated infobox piecemeal. The automated defaults to a US map, when Indiana is more useful, so we'll have to add "Location = Indiana" to all.--Bedford 01:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that's "locmapin = Indiana". I should fix that in the infobox generator, once I get {{Location map}} templates in for the other state maps. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 14:57, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

WOW - Cool index box on the pages to get to the other bridges!!!! Can I put the See also back on the pages? My goal was to have historical places within a couple of miles of each bridge so the user could discover other sites around each bridge, or do you have a better idea? Still learning, but you are the man! Histrylover34 11:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I guess we could put back a See Also with items in the immediate vicinity, although anything already mentioned in the article, especially in the opening paragraph, should not be within the See Also. For example, if in the opening sentence we say that the covered bridge is in Turkey Run, we don't need to put Turkey Run in the see also. We also don't need to put wikilinks to the List of NRHP.--Bedford 12:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I do see a problem with not listing List of Registered Historic Places in Indiana. If I do a google search on Beeson Covered Bridge I will get to the WIKI page of the bridge, but if I then want to drive to other places of interest during my travels how do I let the user to go to a list of other Parke county or state locations? Histrylover34 13:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

That's the reason we have categories. There is also better ways to find out, such as http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/IN/Parke/state.html Also, you won't find other places on the National Register in Indiana that does link to the main list of Indiana NRHP.--Bedford 13:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I know you experts are that smart, but I did not know about that link or how to get back to the List of Registered Historic Places in Indiana list from one of the bridge pages, so I would assume that other "USERS" of this site would have no clue and the easer we make it for them the more interesting we make the information. Histrylover34 13:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

In any event, you need to change all those links to "List of covered bridges in Parke County" to Parke County Covered Bridges, as that's the new main article. I did it so we could get a DYK out of it.--Bedford 13:38, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

What is a DYK??? Histrylover34 13:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

"Did You Know", a section of the front page of Wikipedia, showing interesting tidbits on new articles to Wikipedia. I nominated it at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created_on_September_12.--Bedford 13:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Tag & Assess 2007

Quality work you're doing there, Bedford, for which many thanks! Adding task forces is completely optional but it would much appreciated if you could spare the time to add some as you go. Usually, an article belongs to a country task force as well as a theme one. An article about the United States Air Force is tagged US=yes (country) and aviation=yes (theme); an article about the Royal Navy "British=yes" and "Maritime=yes". The full list appears in Show Preview of the template. I usually ignore the Portal calls. Like I said, optional, but much appreciated :)) Keep up the good work! --ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 07:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Worf page

Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that there was a huge amount of in-universe information in the article before. It got removed during cleanup because it was tagged with an in universe tag and plot tag. These were basically saying that fictional subjects must be primarily about real-world facts and not on in-universe data. Real world information is casting, character depiction, critical acclaim, fan reception, things like that. If the article reverts back to its state with primarily in-universe information, it will be tagged again as such. A good example of an article that was cleaned up well is Jadzia Dax, and no I wasn't the one that cleaned it up to read in an out-of-universe perspective. Just letting you know.

Cuisine of the Thirteen American Colonies

The article is actually a toned down version of a term paper for one of my master's classes in Agricultural History. It's in Chicago format right now, but I usually cite articles in a different fashion, such as in Cuisine of France. I'm not quite sure why I didn't do it that way for this article. Actually I do, because the professor for this class had a stick up her butt about citation in this format and ... well at any rate feel free to change it. If you don't I'll probably change it myself, either way it will get done. What was your thesis on? I am in the process of writing mine now.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 08:12, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Lighten?

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Howard Steamboat Museum. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. It is not in IndiannaTableManners ^U·T·C 06:44, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Lighten? Get a clue. WP:Louisville considers any museum in the Louisville belonging in the Category:Museums in Louisville. There is no joke, save for you thinking its a joke.--Bedford (talk) 06:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution to Carnegie Center for Art and History, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. The problem is that your category ends up in [[Category:Museums_in_Kentucky]], and Indiana Museums are not in Kentucky. You might want to create a category called [[Category:Museums in Louisville Metropolitan area]], and keep it out of the [[Category:Museums_in_Kentucky]] category. TableManners ^U·T·C 06:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I apologize if you were not joking. I think it is a misunderstanding. It's late. Fix it if the Museums in L. Metro area makes sense. Also, take a look at cleaning up the Template:Museums in Kentucky‎ TableManners ^U·T·C 06:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
