Hi. When you recently edited Keith K. Compton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Westminster College (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Social Credit Movement in Alberta (Irving)
I do, and there's a three or four page biography of him in it. Are you actually in Edmonton? If so, the easiest thing might be for me to lend it to you - if you want to go that route, send me an e-mail. Steve Smith (talk) 04:02, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- No date of death (the book was published in 1959, so there's every possibility that he was still alive at the time). It's less a proper biography than it is an account of his role in Social Credit's early days, with some background biographical material. I'll try to scan and e-mail it tomorrow or on the weekend. Steve Smith (talk) 04:30, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- I had a quick look through the rest of my library, and Fee doesn't seem to be mentioned in any of it (which is unusual for one of the class of 1935, given how relatively extensively that era's been covered). As for date of death, it certainly could be 1957 - Irving doesn't comment one way or another. That he might have been alive in 1959 was speculation on my part. Steve Smith (talk) 04:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- There's a brief biography of Ingrey immediately following Fee's. The other two aren't mentioned in Irving or any of my other books. Steve Smith (talk) 04:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Forrest M. Hall
On 26 April 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Forrest M. Hall, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Forrest Hall (pictured) played for Princeton's 1893 national championship football team, coached Auburn to a 94–0 victory over Georgia Tech in 1894, and set a shot put record at Michigan in 1895? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Forrest M. Hall.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Georgetown University visual identity guidelines
The visual identity guidelines, which you claimed mandate the black Georgetown seal, in fact seem to prefer the blue seal. The updated guidelines can be found here [1]. One is allowed to use the black seal but the prevalence of blue seals in the booklet suggests that blue is the primary color. The same is true for most of the websites.

Wondering if you can confirm/disprove the lifespan of George B. Lyle. As far as I can figure, Lyle and this guy are the same person, which would give him a birth year of c. 1884. He was active as a councilman during the late 1920s according to a Google News search, so all the facts fit, but I have no smoking gun to connect the two for certain. Can you find anything?

Kitty Wells and Bonnie Lou.
How's this? File:Kitty Wells.jpg There is a publicity photo of her at Library of Congress but no information on the back of their photo is given; there were also no identical ones I found with what was needed. Google seems to have tinkered with their book search and now every copy of Billboard an artist is mentioned in no longer shows up--you have to search by year and then each week. :(
Will look to see what's available for Bonnie Lou. I see she was at WLW; quite a bit of their promotional material has been available and wasn't copyrighted. HTH, We hope (talk) 15:27, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
- Will need to keep looking for Bonnie Lou; some photos are available but no real "tie" seen on them to WLW. We hope (talk) 17:11, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
More for you: File:Johnnie Wright 1964.jpg. I may be able to find a better one of him that's PD later on. The ones I'm seeing right now at eBay have no dates, sources or both. This is an ad for their first recording together File:Kitty Wells Johnnie Wright 1968.jpg. What I saw on eBay for Bonnie Lou are all either not dated or we don't know the source of the photo. Many times, if you keep looking, something will turn up after a while that we can use. My next "quest" is to see what's available for Jack Anglin. We hope (talk) 02:39, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- And still more! File:Johnnie and Jack songbook 1952.JPG This is a songbook cover from 1952 which there was no copyright renewal of. There were photos in the book-have one of the Wrights File:Wright family.jpg and Louise and Jack Anglin File:Louise and Jack Anglin.jpg. Whoever owned the book was lucky enough to get autographs from everyone who was in the music business at the time. That's the best quality I could get from the photos and cut them to preserve the autographs. Can cut that out if you like. We may also find a copy of the photos with better quality later and can change them. Did find a Billboard ad for the Grand Ole Opry with Johnnie and Jack in it. Problem was, they used a lot of very small photos to show all musicians that were part of the group at the time; the photo there wasn't good for enlarging.
- File:Russell Johnson Black Saddle 1960.JPG Russell Johnson in the 1960 Western Black Saddle. The only good PD photo I've seen so far of Bob and Ray is already on the page--the photo from Monitor--will keep looking for others. Will keep looking for Bonnie Lou and June Foray, who may be a challenge since she did her work behind the scenes. HTH, We hope (talk) 17:15, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
From a public records search, it looks like his name is "Glenn Dean Loucks", but I can't confirm it 100%. Anyhow, it may help your searching. Canadian Paul 22:24, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Need An Opinion
Hey Connor, long time, no speak, how are things? Need your opinion on something, an IP user posted this earlier on the Stephens City, Virginia page. It was a blurb about a person by the name of Virgil E. Watson, who was the first African American to serve on the Stephens City Town Council. I originally reverted the edit (and one after by the same user) due to lack of sources. After a Google search (with help from a non-Wiki friend), I found a source, oddly enough in federal lawsuit, Frederick County, Virginia v. Reno & Lee. Mr. Watson's name can by found on page 4 of 11, under number 14.
Once I had the source, I began to think...it's this notable? Since this person served on the Town Council from '94 to '98 and all the information on the "Government" section is current, where would I put it, the "History" section perhaps? So, I come to you for your opinion. What do I do here? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- I see Wehwalt has helped you out already - sorry, I was meaning to respond to this in the past few days but I totally forgot. Deepest apologies, – Connormah (talk) 05:08, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- No worries. :) That's why I always ask one or two different people for this reason (or if people are busy offline or on vacation). So, no need for apologizes. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:13, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Book ref at Mayer Zald
Thanks for the ref, I have formatted it using this friendly app. Can you add the page number? Is there anything else in this ref that's useful? It doesn't seem to be visible on Google Books to me. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:21, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, I had to play around with the search terms to get the text visible, I'll look. – Connormah (talk) 02:12, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, it looks like I can't get the page number, but here's some searches that may help you get some more info: [2] [3] [4]. If you just copy the last words visible in quotes and add a couple asterisks after, you should be able to view the full entry this way. – Connormah (talk) 02:15, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- Right. The thing is, the book you linked in text seems to be (for me at least) a no preview book, so no snippets or searchable text of any kinds shows for me. With snippets, I know the magic to get a page visible, and they often tell you the page number, but I don't know how to crack the no previews. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:09, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Connormah. Certainly I (and hopefully any comics reader of taste!) knows Dave Gibbons' work. It was his phrase "Reliable source confirms" that I was referring to as "anonymously sourced." No editor of anything but a gossip magazine would take that as credible, let alone editors of an encyclopedia.

You were of course correct to delete the lengthy copyvios, but next time would you please keep the URLs? It cost me a lot of time to figure out what happened (no doubt due to my confusion in large part.) Or perhaps archive such sections with the copyvios replaced mostly with elipses. —Cupco 23:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Also while I am here, I suspect the article qualifies for semiprotection. There is repeated vandalism e.g. replacing "Sam Bacile" with "ImBacile" and the like. I would be happy to ask at RPP if you like. —Cupco 23:49, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Apologies, I didn't seem to see your post above the lengthly copyvio. Apologies. I'll let another admin decide on protection - there seem to be some good IP edits in the mix and I'm not really sure. I have also blocked the "ImBacile" vandal. – Connormah (talk) 23:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

- Hi, if it is alright with you, I think it is best to let this picture be deleted. It is simply not the logo. It is completely different for the takeoff logo and this is not their corporate logo so it has no place on the SWA page. Kairportflier (talk) 19:19, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
- IIRC is this not their primary identifying mark still? I have never seen the other one that you had before and when I go the the SWA page I see the this one as their primary mark. – Connormah (talk) 19:29, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't think so either then there was a discussion at Talk:Southwest Airlines and they pointed this out [1]. The logo you have is not even a logo but the closest one to what you have is the Southwest.com logo. The Southwest corporate logo is their official logo though. Kairportflier (talk) 19:32, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
- IMO the corporate one should be moved to the body - we shouldn't be using it for the sake of being official, we should be using the mark that best associates itself with SWA, which is the one they use in their advertising. – Connormah (talk) 19:34, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Kairportflier (talk) 19:32, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
I think otherwise. I think the official logo should be at the top and the more common seen one but not official one should be in the body, but I invite you to start a discussion at wiki airlines or on the SWA talk page. Kairportflier (talk) 19:36, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Thx
For the diligent and rapid aiv and antidisruption work. --Lexein (talk) 19:19, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Hee - I was going to wait at 171.33.201.61 for a 2nd 4th offense, but again you diligently rocked it! --Lexein (talk) 00:25, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Huh? I blocked the account for the vandalism as well, but I don't see how combining a person's name with the generally accepted Number of the Beast isn't inherently an attack on that person and thus a block-on-sight violation. Daniel Case (talk) 14:44, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Are you sure about this? I saw that too, and noted it on the talk page, but his tenure in the Senate supposedly lasted until 1974. Haven't looked into it much, but maybe there are two John McCreeshs? Or his tenure wasn't as long as stated? I guess I'm just wondering if you had access to the obituary before I started looking around. Canadian Paul 19:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting, I totally did not see your note - I'll see if I can get access to the article. – Connormah (talk) 19:21, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Also, I believe Clark S. Smith is still alive though I cannot find a cite for hm turning 100. – Connormah (talk) 19:48, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Cool, I'll look into it soon. Thanks! Canadian Paul 19:50, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Smith definitely looks to be alive, per public records, but I couldn't find a 100th birthday notice either... Canadian Paul 20:34, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- We'll probably have to wait until he dies to add him to the list, then...no rush I guess. – Connormah (talk) 20:44, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Somewhere, I think, we have the oldest former member of the House, oldest Senator, that kind of thing.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:53, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- I think it's only for the federal, not state houses, IIRC. – Connormah (talk) 04:50, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Signature trace?
I hope the Times article was useful. Can you trace the signature here? I am working on Bosbyshell's article in my sandbox.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:53, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Sure, will look at it tomorrow along with the Barber images. Sorry for the wait(s). Best, – Connormah (talk) 04:50, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Oh and by the way good work on the Bosbyshell article. I've been reading it in segments over the last few days (oh procrastination on things I'm actually supposed to be doing is glorious) and it's a pretty interesting read. Headed for FAC/GA? – Connormah (talk) 04:57, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Done the sig. Will see about the coin images later today. – Connormah (talk) 19:07, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- thanks on both. At least GA I think. Problem is the lack of sources that go in depth into him. Next week I need to call the American Numismatic Association Library, there was an article on him in The Numismatist in the early 90s I need to ask them for, they will scan email it for five bucks or so.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:52, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Johnson (Ohio state representative), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Monroe, Indiana (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I reverted at BLPN because at first I wanted to hat the post. Then I decided to redact it. I neglected to modify the pre-loaded edit summary leader. Sorry for that edit summary. If you feel inclined, P. K. Abdul Aziz is quite a BLPN case. JFHJr (㊟) 05:12, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- No problem. Hadn't even noticed until you came here, tho be honest... – Connormah (talk) 05:14, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
AIV thanks
Thanks for your quick and effective action here. I am guessing/hoping that it might make the school authorities take notice if/when students find they are blocked or if the authorities have any system of checks; and in the meantime we are protected against vandalism from this one source, at least - so it's a win/win! Thanks again and best wishes DBaK (talk) 22:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
