"Consensus"

I heartily suggest you review WP:DRNC. Your repeated reversions based on no stated logic but demanding consensus simply don't work logically (for example, you have no consensus for your revert edits.) - Nat Gertler (talk) 08:21, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

that is an essay not policy unlike Wikipedia:Consensus CTJF83 chat 05:32, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Did u look over the last consensus? CTJF83 chat 10:05, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

In that supposed last consensus, more editors were for incusion (banjeboi, 75.187.39.176, .Ronnotronald, Ronline) than against it (you, SatyrTN), with one more riding the middle (Rrius). Not that that matters for the new consensus (consensus changes), nor did it matter for the page where you first invoked it for me, as that was a separate page. - Nat Gertler (talk) 20:07, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

separate page? I'm not gonna bother with it again and will wait for a consensus either way CTJF83 chat 20:10, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, separate page. Your edit justification on Same-sex marriage in the United States linked to a supposed previous consensus... which was a discussion for Template:Same-sex unions, rather than for that page. - Nat Gertler (talk) 22:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

It's still about adding the tribe though. CTJF83 chat 03:12, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

A consensus on inclusion only applies to the page that it's made for. An agreement that there shouldn't be information on same-sex marriage in California on the page about the Cathy comic strip or the page about cosines would in no way mean that it wouldn't be appropriate for the SSM in USA page. And in this case, the specific claim was that putting the Coquille on a template about SSM in the whole world would be undue weight; even if that had been agreed to, it would be a very different question of whether it'd be due weight on an article about a single country. - Nat Gertler (talk) 04:39, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

The pages are very closely related, unlike CA SSM and Cathy comics CTJF83 chat 04:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Keokuk

Hi CT- Happy New Year! Sorry about your hand; sound like a classic bar fight injury. Knowing nothing about Keokuk, Iowa's history, do you think user:Tropicalmatt's contributions should be rollbacked? If so, go ahead. Bill Whittaker 19:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

LOL, I'm not much of a fighter...I dropped A drinking glass at work and it sliced it deep. I reverted some is possible vandalism and the rest is unsourced CTJF83 chat 20:07, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I hope you get better soon! ;) Theleftorium 11:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. First off, I'm very sorry about your hand, and I hope it heals soon. Second off, I'm working on that article, and I was wondering if you can recall any information about him in any of the FG DVD commentaries he's apart of? Thanks, The Flash ^{talk} 22:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I've only watched commentaries for episodes I've gotten GAs on. I can watch the ones with him if you want. CTJF83 chat 04:58, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

American comedy television series

I have asked twice now why you keep removing these categories, and to please explain why this American comedy television series doesn't belong in the American comedy television series groups, but you won't explain why and you just keep reverting... Please, explain the reverts.. Ejfetters (talk) 21:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought it was in my edit summary. It is category cruft, it just clogs up the space. It is also explained here by another user. Please discuss further at WT:Doh, thank you, CTJF83 chat 21:16, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

• • I researched it with that user, and we discovered the debate was just for the originating country not the decade.. I understand some articles have a lot of categories, but if the category is legit and the article belongs in the category, why omit it? If you are debating that the category should be deleted, then I don't argue against it, I didn't create the category.. But I don't see how if an article fits into several categories why it should be omitted from those categories. It fits those categories. Ejfetters (talk) 21:21, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Because at a certain point when there are 50 categories for a page, it is out of control and ridiculous. What user did you discuss it with? CTJF83 chat 21:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
    • Read the discussion Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2006_December_19#American_television_series_by_decade. The discussion at hand was for originating country, not originating decade. Saying Saturday Night Live is only a 1970s show makes no sense... Saying a show like The Simpsons is only a 1980s show doesn't make much sense either. The benefit from the category listing isn't to the article, but to the category, when one looks at the category listing they will see all the articles under that subject. I've seen good articles with far more categories than this one, and I don't think it in no way, shape, or form depreciate the article. If it fits in the category, then it should be in the category, regardless of how many categories are listed. And there aren't that many categories listed here anyways... Ejfetters (talk) 21:34, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
  • 17 categories right now, adding the others puts it at 21 categories, not 50. Ejfetters (talk) 21:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
    • 50 was just an overexerted example, perhaps Wikipedia:Overcategorization will be of interest for you to read. CTJF83 chat 21:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
      • Eh i dont really care, get tired of Wikipedia real fast anyways cuz people just like to own the articles, I'll leave it alone, not worth the hassle. Ejfetters (talk) 21:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
        • I'm sorry you feel that way, my intention is not to be a pain, or to drive users away from editing. CTJF83 chat 21:51, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

3RR

Whoops, you misinterpret. Not your fault though, I didn't make a new header. That IP sent me a message about how I violated some minor policy somewhere here, but when I replied I didn't make a new header. I am not that IP, and am well aware of the 3RR.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drown (disambiguation)

I don't think Wikipedia:Non-admin closure directly addresses the situation of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drown (disambiguation), but you'd be wise to avoid doing merges, following AfD and in general, until you have a good grasp of wp:merge (including wp:cut and paste, since underlying issues apply to both renames and merges).
Also, i was astonished that you seemed to think it was appropriate to execute a merge (let alone in that direction, since using a noun rather than a verb is so strongly established a guideline). I'm going analyze this aspect on the tk page of the AfD'd article (whereby i'll become sure whether my astonishment was called for or not; i've been wrong before and it could happen a second time [wink]). Either this or the C&P nature of merge would alone have necessitated the intervention that JHunterJ provided. That will probably clarify for you why deletion was inappropriate, even w/o the fact that "a typo or misnomer which is implausible and not common", as {{db-r3}} asserts, is not even a remotely defensible description of the merge situation you were asserting.
Finally, we've for some time made a general practice (at least) of placing a lk to the AfD on the tk page of an AfD'd article (deleted or not), upon closing, IRCC using a std template. It would be good on your part to learn how to do that for future AfD closes; follow the tk page in question for a while, & ere long i'll have learned the proper format myself, and serve as an example for you. Thanks.

I'd like to get your opinion on this one. Bearian (talk) 15:05, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Favor

Another administrator deleted my userpage. They gave a good reason as to why, but I asked if they could restore it for a day or so, so I could copy the information to another wiki host. They agreed on that, but they never did it. So I was wondering if you could go through this accounts records, and restore the information just temporarily? Phrasia (talk) 05:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not an admin, otherwise I'd help you. CTJF83 chat 05:48, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I posted on the original admin's page, but I'm afraid that's all I can do. CTJF83 chat 05:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh, sorry I thought you were. I would totally nominate you. Thanks again. :) Phrasia (talk) 05:57, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit-warring

Don't believe everything you hear on IRC. This is part, as both Doncram and Orlady will acknowledge, of a painfully tedious argument between a whole raft of editors over merges and splits between localities and historic districts that has rendered the NRHP project toxic. I'm surprised that Orlady got herself drawn into this. However, cries of admin abuse don't help, and this is a garden variety case of two editors being peeved at each other. See Doncram vs. Polaron. The terminology that Doncram favors makes me break out in hives, but I'd prefer to let it stand in favor of the greater good. Acroterion _(talk) 00:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok, she did break 3RR, and thus should be blocked like any other user who breaks it. Off topic, how do I site when an author has 2 books I'm using. ie, I can't just put their last name and page number like I did with one book Davenport,_Iowa#Notes. CTJF83 chat 00:42, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm aware of the 3RR issue, but would rather it be reviewed by others. I'm too involved in the main dispute to render judgment, and frankly too irritated at all parties.

For citing, do you have refTools enabled in your Preferences/Gadgets tab? It gives a "cite" at the end of the editing tools bar above the edit window that opens a menu of options for filling out references. Acroterion _(talk) 00:48, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Elaborating on refs, you'd do two full cites, then for further cites you'd just do something like "Smith, "The Color Blue", p. 40" and "Smith, "Skies and their Hues", p.441." Acroterion _(talk) 00:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

(ec) I understand how to cite and such, but for example ref 3 at Davenport,_Iowa#Notes says "Svendsen, p. 19". I'm adding a second book by her, how do I clarify in the cite which of the 2 books I'm using? Would it be something like "Svendsen,Davenport A Pictorial History p. 19"?.....Ok, you answered it when I got the ec, thanks. CTJF83 chat 00:53, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi there,

Request for comment

I have opened a request for comment at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Doncram. While the RFC is named for him alone, the behavior of Polaron and Orlady should also be considered as well. I would encourage you to participate in a civil manner in this discussion, in hopes of finding a reasonable resolution. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 23:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure what is going on. What exactly do I do at the RfC? Propose restrictions or something of the sort? CTJF83 chat 08:08, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I think at this point, you can either certify the basis of this dispute, or add an outside view. If you have an outside view on the conflict between Doncram and Orlady, your opinion would be useful at this point. I'm not sure it would be useful yet to propose editing restrictions, since there isn't much discussion yet (and since Doncram hasn't responded). I'm not 100% familiar with the RfC process, either, and I'd rather not be familiar with it at all. I'd rather be figuring out the difference between Italianate architecture and Second Empire architecture as it applies to any individual building, but since the edit wars keep spreading, I unfortunately have to get involved in user conduct. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 22:50, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I'll comment after work. CTJF83 chat 23:01, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I've begun to put together an outline for an RfC on the NRHP content disputes at User:Acroterion/RfC NRHP, to be moved to some more appropriate place once it's developed.

Hey Ctjf83, it's Hunter Kahn. I'm conducting the GAN review for Peter Griffin, and the nominator told me that you had conducted a previous GAN review for it.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linda Harasim

The result is fine - the consensus is to keep. However, your rationale "Keep Passes WP:Prof (WP:NACD)" is flawed. Notability guidelines are only guidelines, they describe "what usualy happens on afd" they do not proscribe what must happen. Providing no policy overrides other considerations, an article is kept or deleted on the basis of whether there is a consensus to delete or not. In this case, there was no consensus to delete (indeed possibly a consensus to keep) so the article is kept. However, even if the article does pass some guideline, that's would not override consensus.--Scott Mac (Doc) 20:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

So Just a Keep is sufficient on all AfDs? No reasoning is required? CTJF83 chat 20:10, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

No reasoning is good. But the reason isn't that it passes a guideline, the reason is that most people want to keep it and have offered perfectly valid reasons to do so. Most people think it is notable.--Scott Mac (Doc) 20:14, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Help w/ U.S. marijuana maps

Hi there! I notice you contribute to and discuss the same-sex marriage map of the United States, and also have an interest in politics. I am continually impressed with how up-to-date that map remains, and how much activity the talk page receives. I am finding it difficult to keep the three U.S. maps relating to marijuana found here up to date, so I was wondering if you might take a look and perhaps even add the images to your watchlist. I tried updating this one over at Commons, but the image has not updated yet (see NJ here). I am not sure if you have an interest in the legal status of cannabis or not, but I could sure use some help with keep the maps current. If interested, take a look!

But, more importantly, once that one is reviewed, the WikiProject South Park will be free to seek a featured topic for the first season, which is something we've been working on for a long time. Very exciting stuff! :D Let me know if you're willing to review... — Hunter Kahn 22:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'll get to it on Sunday :) CTJF83 GoUSA 05:42, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks, very much appreciated as always! If you're interested, next week I'll be looking for some more South Park reviews because the 13th season is almost ready for good topic. But that'll be a matter for the second round. :D — Hunter Kahn 13:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Thanks man, much appreciated. I'll probably tap you for some more SP reviews next week, if you're game. (If I'm ever a bother, please don't hesitate to say you'd rather not do it!) Thanks again! — Hunter Kahn 22:12, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

You don't have the authority to change the rules just for this particular case. I'm only bound to the rules and you have no authority over me. It is a baseless threat and the punishment isn't in accordance to my actions anyway. Please be objective and consider the rule that way.

Speedy deletion contested: International Federation of Little Brothers of the Poor

Hello Ctjf83, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of International Federation of Little Brothers of the Poor, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:50, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: Butters' Bottom Bitch

• Oh geez, I completely missed that you finished the review on Butters' Bottom Bitch until after I got your most recent message. You're 100% right, I didn't see the message because it wasn't at the bottom of my queue, and I thought the new message notification was for a different message. Sorry about that! But anyway, enough of my excuses. I've made the necessary fixed! lol :D — Hunter Kahn 04:32, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Very cool stuff! — Hunter Kahn 04:44, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

The last shot (2010 film)

There's nothing in this article that is clearly impossible. In other words, it's not a blatant hoax: blatant hoaxes are those that can be seen as false by anyone. I don't have any reason to say that this one is definitely false, but the lack of sources that you indicated is enough to say that it fails WP:GNG. Nyttend (talk) 03:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: GAC 2

I discussed the FLC versus GAN thing with Nergaal, the user that worked with me on the season 13 article. We both decided that South Park (season 13) is more likely on its way to FA than FL down the road, so we jointly decided to nominate it for GA first, with the hope of getting it up to FA shape shortly down the road. — Hunter Kahn 04:47, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Tagging of Superstroke

You tagged Superstroke for speedy deletion as a copyvio. Unless I am mistaken, when you tagged it, a significant quantity of text was indeed copied from an outside web site, but the first paragraph, and the two final sections were not copied or closely paraphrased. Note that {{db-copyvio}} says "This criterion applies only in unequivocal cases, where there is no free-content material on the page worth saving and no later edits requiring attribution..." and WP:CSD#G12 says "...where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving." In a case like this I think it might have been better to remove the infringing content and warn the editor who posted it, rather than tag for speedy deletion.

I have declined the speedy deletion request, because after your tag was placed the article was edited to remove the infringing content. DES ^(talk) 03:10, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I will be more careful in my future Copyvio tagging. CTJF83 chat 04:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, I've come begging a favor. A wiki-alert discussion has been concluded by the involved parties and I would like it hatted.

Malke2010 20:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

sorry, forgot to mention the how of it. You do {{ }} and put the word hat in the middle of these brackets and it closes or collapses the thread with a banner on the page that says it's closed and asks editors not to comment further. This would help because a truce has been struck and gadfly's have been attempting to stir the flames again. Thanks.Malke2010 20:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

It's getting there, it just needs some polishing and a bit more reception. I'll continue to work on it tomorrow, and hopefully will have it ready soon. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:46, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I think you've asked me about that page before. I would consider it an article, but I think most revewers would place it in the list category, so it might not hurt to at least ask at WT:FLC. As for whether it's ready or not, it needs a larger lead, and there are a bunch of unsourced sections. It also needs some copyediting for better flow. For example, the first paragraph of "Village of East Davenport" has a bunch of short sentences and reads rather choppy. Other parts seem rather POVish, ie. "The beautiful atmosphere of the neighborhood is marred only by the density of traffic on Brady and Harrison Streets." -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 20:17, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I've userfied it to User:Ctjf83/Sandbox2 rather than history merge it with your old one; I wasn't sure how extensive the history was.

I don't generally resurrect articles from the copyright problems board once their date has passed, but given your work on the last one I feel pretty sure you'll give it the attention it deserves.

I'm afraid this needs some more work. Remember that not only language is covered by copyright, but also structure. Some of the material follows very closely on the arrangement of the original, which is a problem especially when idiosyncratic language is also reproduced. For instance consider the following:

• Article:

Sudlow's educational experience began in a log schoolhouse, but she was soon attending an academy in Athens, Ohio.

• Source:

Phebe’s first educational experience was in a log schoolhouse, but she was soon attending an academy in Athens, Ohio.

• Article:

By 1860, at the age of 29, Sudlow became principal of both schools and was possibly the first woman principal of a public school in the United States.

• Source:

By the next year, at the age of 29, Phebe was principal of both schools—possibly the first woman principal of a public school in the United States—at $400 dollars a year.

• Article:

She told the board, "Gentlemen, if you are cutting the salary because of my experience, I have nothing to say; but if you are doing this because I am a woman, I’ll have nothing more to do with it." Sudlow was immediately hired at the greater salary.

• Source:

She told the board, “Gentlemen, if you are cutting the salary because of my experience, I have nothing to say; but if you are doing this because I am a woman, I’ll have nothing more to do with it.” Phebe was immediately hired at the greater salary.

I stopped with this last example. Sudlow's quote is fine (though you have to cite your source with every quote), but you've reproduced the attribution line and the sentence that follows it, with only one word changed. Remember that one of the tests of copyright infringement is whether a lay observer would look at your work and conclude that you have appropriated the the pattern or sequence of your source. With a chronological biography, there is some leeway there...but a good bit less when copying also includes fragmented literal similarity of this sort.

I believe you are still trying to rewrite this sentence by sentence. As suggested in some of the essays I've linked for you earlier, it's a lot better to read the material, absorb the facts, and then write it out yourself. If you're looking at the source at the same time, it is must harder to avoid replication its organization and language. After you've produced your own text, you can look back at it and see if you've inadvertently come too close, because that can happen.

Why don't you rework the material a bit further, and after you've done so, I'll going to ask another copyright administrator to review it. I think you might benefit from some fresh feedback. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:23, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

WP:CRYSTAL query

Hi! I hope you don't mind me coming to you with a query. Looking at the recent edits to Glee (season 1), I've been trying to understand WP:CRYSTAL in this context. I understand changes such as saying the season is scheduled to consist of 22 episodes, rather than stating that is does consist of 22 episodes, but I'm a little less certain on removing the season finale date when it's been confirmed by Fox. I appreciate that due to unforeseen circumstances it could change, so can we just not include dates at all until they've passed, even with references? On a similar note, was this revision I made acceptable, with the rationale given in my edit summary? I took the future air dates out, but the summaries themselves aren't copyvios, and the episodes exist, even if for whatever reason they never air.

On an unrelated note, I wanted to thank you for your encouragement at the end of last year to try and get all the existing Glee episode articles to GA by April. 11 of the 13 are currently GAs, and the last two are waiting on review. I don't think I'd ever have gone for it without your encouragement, so thank you! Frickative 11:47, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome, you've done a great job with the episode pages! I might take CRYSTAL too far I guess. It says not to include events several years out with no source. You're right, and my thinking was just what you said, that even though the air date is 99% certain, some event could happen to change it, but I guess that's why Wikipedia is WP:NOTPAPER. We could put the air date back in the infobox, I probably went too far on CRYSTAL in removing it, because it can be updated in the future if needed. As for the revision you linked me, I think it is a good edit, the previous info was removed by this user. My edit, which I'm sure you'll agree with, just removed empty dates, as we don't know if maybe 2 new episodes will air on the same date or not. CTJF83 chat 17:40, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I definitely agree with you removing the blank entry dates - although it's likely the episodes will air then, there's nothing to confirm it yet. I'm not really sure about the season finale date; I think that I won't add it back in myself, but if someone else adds it, I won't revert them either. I wouldn't say you went too far in removing it, because CRYSTAL seems pretty open to interpretation, really :) Frickative 22:23, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I'll do the same and not remove if readded. CTJF83 chat 22:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: RfC/U on Delicious Carbuncle

I know from Benj's page that you said you'd be interested in weighing in...but you should know that I'm going to return to focusing on content and try to avoid the pitfall of focusing on editor behavior. While those behaviors are so clearly unacceptable, I can't get involved. I'm not interested in the function of Wikipedia Review or off-wiki Outing or threats that may or may not have been made...

I've taken my side of the Dispute Resolution process as far as I can and will take it another step further when content becomes more affected. If you move forward with an RFC/U, let me know and I'll toss my experiences into the pot. 38.109.88.180 (talk) 21:48, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Davenport map

Would you rather have a map centered on Davenport alone, just showing small amounts of the bordering cities, or one encompassing the whole Quad Cities area, which would show more of the metro but probably be a bit less detailed when it comes to Davenport itself? I ask because with Sioux Falls the neighboring cities were both smaller and further away than with Davenport, so it was an easier call to center only on Sioux Falls. AlexiusHoratius 18:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I think I'd like a map of just Davenport, for the FA, and then perhaps, if you wanted to, in the future, do a map of the whole Quad Cities. CTJF83 chat 18:14, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay. I'll get started on it this afternoon. I'm going to be out of town this weekend, so I probably won't have anything uploaded until next weekend. I'll probably be stopping by now and then with random questions, as I don't have much first-hand knowledge of the area. AlexiusHoratius 18:45, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, any questions you have, about what streets to include or what not, I can easily answer, thanks for your help! CTJF83 chat 18:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I've been planning on making a map for I-280, but it would be no trouble to make a map of Davenport and of the Quad Cities as well. See Category:Road maps of Iowa for a few samples of my work. I created quite a few of the statewide maps, and I have the GIS data to make city maps easily. --Fredddie™ 22:04, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. Is there a specific program you use to create those maps? CTJF83 chat 06:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

I get the GIS data from the Iowa DOT and put them together with QuantumGIS. There seems to be quite the learning curve, but it's super easy once you figure it out. --Fredddie™ 17:05, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Here is what I've made. I would call the map itself (without the signs) finished, but I can certainly remove the signs and add street names, or however you think it should be. --Fredddie™ 19:25, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Looks great! Thank you, would it be easy to add a few of the major street names? CTJF83 chat 17:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I have some other maps I'd like free versions of, if you could be my go-to-guy? :) CTJF83 chat 17:55, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

What streets were you thinking? 53rd, Kimberly, Locust, River Drive, and Brady, naturally. I have no problem making other maps, but I wouldn't always expect them as quickly as I made that one. I'm not always in the map-making mood, so they get pushed to the side. --Fredddie™ 20:47, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Ya, those for sure, I can give you a list of what I consider major streets, although that is OR, :). Also, the other maps I'm looking for are very simplistic maps of historic neighborhoods for articles on wikipedia, such as [10] CTJF83 chat 20:49, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I would look over the four maps here and choose an arbitrary number, say an AADT of 10,000, and list those as your major streets. It's not OR! --Fredddie™ 20:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

That would work, otherwise I think this G Map zoom level shows the major streets. How would you list the names? Would you remove minor streets from the map and put the major street names on, or high light major streets in a different color? CTJF83 chat 21:00, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the gray streets are all one layer. I could probably have the text in black and have a stroke the same color as the city. That way it would cover the streets and you'd be able to read the text better. --Fredddie™ 21:10, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, sounds good. CTJF83 chat 21:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

OK I added some street names. --Fredddie™ 02:40, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Looks great! CTJF83 chat 16:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I downloaded Quantum GIS and can't figure out how to work it/load a map to it can be edited? CTJF83 chat 20:00, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

We at WP:USRD created this for new map makers. The Maps task force page itself has the color key we use. This helped me greatly, so hopefully it helps you as well. --Fredddie™ 21:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Ctjf83/Sandbox

Hi. As I said at my talk page, I'm bringing this over here because my talk page tends to get quite long under the ordinary course of events. :)

This is a good step forward, but I still have some concerns with the rewrite at User:Ctjf83/Sandbox, as in some places it seems almost to be an abridgment. For instance, consider the following, from the source:

Extended content

Mrs. Wittenmyer read this letter to a convention of soldier’s aid societies and sanitation organizations on September 23, 1863. By February of 1864, a board had been organized in Des Moines to establish and operate a facility for the orphans of Iowa soldiers. The sandboxed version says: On September 23, 1863, Wittenmyer read the letter to a convention of soldier's aid societies and sanitation organizations and by the following February, a board was organized to establish a facility for orphans of Iowa soldiers. The structure is very similar, although a few bits have been moved, and some content has been omitted. There are other passages that seem similarly to stick fairly close to the source: the Farmington Home became ridiculously overcrowded. A second home was already under construction in Cedar Falls, but the Board also decided to look for larger facilities for the children in Farmington. The rewrite says: The home in Farmington soon became overcrowded and construction of a second home in Cedar Falls was underway. The Board also decided to look for larger facilities for the children in Farmington. Particularly note the last sentence of the rewrite there, which is word-for-word copied from the source. A smaller passage: more than 150 orphaned children traveled on the steamboat Keithsburg to live at the new Iowa Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home. Annie Wittenmyer herself oversaw the Home as matron until 1867 The rewrite says: the first 150 children arrived by steamboat to live in the new home. Wittnemyer oversaw the Home until 1867 Structurally, the resemblance is strong. Another small one: One significant early change was the replacement of the barracks-style dormitories with smaller home-like ‘cottages’. The rewrite says: One significant change was to build small home-like cottages to replace barrack style dorms The structure is changed here, but the language is substantially the same. Compare also: "Certain practical advantages of the cottage system were shown during three fires that broke out over the next few decades." (source) "Advantages of the new cottage system were shown during three fires that broke out in the Home."(article) "The next day’s Morning Democrat Gazette pointed out that if home was not set up with several different buildings, all 350 children at the time would have been homeless, and some may have not survived the fire."(source) "As the next day’s Morning Democrat Gazette pointed out, if the cottage system had not been in place, all 350 of the children would have been homeless, and some probably would not have been able to escape."(article) "The state legislature charged the Trustees in 1876 with finding legitimate employment for the residents after they were discharged, so beginning in the 6th grade, students spent half of each school day in the classroom, and the other half learning a practical trade from staff members."(source) "In 1876, the Iowa State Legislature stated that legitimate employment had to be found for the residents after they were discharged. Beginning in the sixth grade, students spent half of the school day in the classroom, and half learning a trade."(article) "Although the Home was self-sufficient and virtually its own little village, it was a part of the Davenport community as well."(source) "The Home was self-sufficient and part of the Davenport community."(article)

I'm afraid that I believe close paraphrasing concerns persist in this article, though it is considerably better paraphrased than the former. I'd be happy to ask another administrator who works copyrights to review, however, if you'd like a second opinion.

I wonder if you are running into problems when trying to revise as you go. It is extremely difficult to rewrite content sentence by sentence. I know some people suggest reading the entire source, doing something else, and then coming back to write what you recall of it. (If you do that, you still have to re-read your source to be sure you haven't accidentally come too close...or accidentally gotten something wrong. :)) I myself am too impatient for that technique. But what I do is read a paragraph or a couple of paragraph, make bullet notes on what seems essential, and write up a new presentation for it. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I understand the concerns, would it be possible if you helped me fix them? I mean there is only so many ways you can say the same thing and provide the same info. CTJF83 chat 03:57, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

About the "the first 150 children arrived by steamboat to live in the new home". there is only so many ways to say that. Note on Verno's source "In November 1865 the children, 150 in number, were brought from Farmington to Davenport" CTJF83 chat 05:57, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I hope I'm not upsetting anyone by putting in my two cents here, but I found a webpage that reprints an old article from the Davenport Daily Times. With at least two real references for the older history it should be easier to find a different way to say things. VernoWhitney (talk) 04:56, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Verno, great source....and no, you are not upsetting me at all :) CTJF83 chat 04:59, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Using that page as a source, would the author be A.P. Doe and is the publisher The Daily Times or ancestry.com? CTJF83 chat 05:27, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi. It's early yet, and I'm barely awake, so forgive me if I'm incoherent. :) I wanted to come and see what was up here first thing. I'd be happy to help, and finding another source is great. The more sources we have, the easier it will be. The author of the new source is A.P. Does, yes. The publisher is the Daily Times. And it's a 1900 source, which means that any language used in that article is free for reproduction, because it's public domain by age. (Good find, Verno!) With respect to your "the first 150 children arrived by steamboat to live in the new home", a single phrase does not alone constitute a copyright problem. The problem is when there is a pattern of close following such that an independent reader would conclude that you had read and copied from the source. The more of these there are, the greater the likelihood there would be that a court would find infringement. But, again, note the pattern in the structure:

the first 150 children arrived by steamboat to live in the new home. Wittnemyer oversaw the Home until 1867

It's not just the words, it's the reproduction of the arrangement of facts from the source, which is a creative element governed by US copyright law.

I find it helpful to not only use different language, but also to rearrange content to avoid this. It's far easier to demonstrate this technique with a larger passage of text and when awake, but for instance, I might say:

The Iowa Soldier's Orphans' Home received its first occupants by steamboat, when 150 children were delivered to matron Annie Wittenmyer's care.

I'd store up the fact that Wittenmyer remained until 1867 for later.

Again, it's easier to do with larger passages of text. Rewriting can be hard business when you only one have major source, but setting yourself the task of doing it line by line is nearly impossible. I myself would never attempt it. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, since Wiki is free I'm "borrowing" what you wrote. I'm not sure where else to put the sentence about her leaving, because the sentence after that one goes into a later time frame. Here are my most recent changes, I hope it is almost ready. CTJF83 chat 19:04, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Not to throw another curveball at you, but Wikipedia isn't entirely free. :) You are very welcome to copy that content; I waive my right to attribution for it. But generally when you copy material within Wikipedia you do have to give credit; see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia for more, including how credit is provided. (Basically, we don't waive our copyright to our contributions here; we just liberally license them for reuse.)

Do you want to talk about ways to potentially rewrite some of the other problematic content? The easiest approach here, as I've said above, is to overhaul an entire paragraph, though; it would be easier than specifically finding new ways to say and arrange "Mrs. Wittenmyer read this letter to a convention of soldier’s aid societies and sanitation organizations on September 23, 1863. By February of 1864, a board had been organized in Des Moines to establish and operate a facility for the orphans of Iowa soldiers."

When you think it's ready, I'd like to ask another administrator to take a look at it. After I work closely with an article, I prefer to get fresh eyes to compare. It's much easier for somebody who hasn't seen the content of either page to judge similarity than it will be for me, since I'll be familiar with both. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Ya, what are your suggestion for the rewrite 2 paragraphs up? I think I've been working with this for so long that I probably can't rewrite it well. CTJF83 chat 20:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

We can wait a few days to let your batteries recharge. :) It would probably be better if you took a shot at it. If there any concerns remaining, that way, I might be able to help you figure out how to avoid issues in the future. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:17, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok CTJF83 chat 18:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I rewrote that part, hopefully now it is ok, otherwise I'll need outside help. CTJF83 chat 04:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm off to take a look. And, by the way, per your note at my talk page I am looking at some of your other contributions at User:Moonriddengirl/Ctjf83. So far, I haven't found any other issues, but I'll try to poke at it episodically while working on the ones where I know issues exist. :) This is strictly informal. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:26, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I think that works quite well. :) That just leaves the smaller bits of text I mentioned above. Again, individually none of these would be a problem (although we should avoid them where possible), but cumulatively they do show a pattern that can create issues. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:31, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

What am I missing? I "borrowed" the steamboat one from you, and just fixed the letter one. CTJF83 chat 18:43, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

The little fragments under "Compare also" in the collapsed section. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:48, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Keeping fingers crossed CTJF83 chat 18:59, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

They're all pretty small, so I think that probably does it. :) My only lingering concerns is the bit about the newspaper. It sounds like you're attributing and paraphrasing the newspaper, but you're not: you're paraphrasing a source talking about the newspaper. :) It's not essential, but I would recommend a slightly different approach, maybe like:

The Home was soon expanded and redesigned with small, home-like cottages replacing the barrack style dorms.[2] Thanks in part to the redesign, no one was seriously injured and the Home was able to continue through three fires that broke out in 1877, 1880 and 1887, even though several buildings were burned to the ground.

In any event, I think it's probably okay for article space as is. And if you want to paste your content into it, you are free to use any content I've suggested here without attribution. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:09, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Phebe Sudlow

Thanks for the nudge. :) I've had a look at User:Ctjf83/Sudlow. Most of it seems to be very well rewritten. Good job. I am a little uncomfortable with how closely a few passages follow the structure of the original, particularly in light of how heavily you rely on that source. While you've omitted some information, I'm afraid that some of what remains reads a bit like an abridgment. Compare the following from the article:

In 1846, when Sudlow was fifteen, she began teaching at the same school she was taught at. In 1855 her father died and Sudlow moved to live with her brother in Rockford, Illinois, and a year latter moved to rural Scott County, Iowa. Sudlow started teaching at a local school, and soon was moved by Superintendent Abram S. Kissell to Davenport sub-district 5 as an assistant of the district.

From the source:

In 1846, at the age of fifteen, she began her life’s work as a teacher in the same log schoolhouse where she herself was first taught. In 1855, after her father’s death, Phebe went to live with her brother John in Rockford, Illinois. A year or so later, the family moved to Round Grove in Scott County, Iowa. Phebe taught at the local school there.... By 1858, Mr. Kissell had moved Phebe to sub-district Number 5, as assistant of the district.

The first sentence is particularly close: "Year age began this there where this." The language has changed in large part, but the structure is identical. The second sentence is also pretty close: "Year this happened she moved with him there year later moved there." This kind of thing can be addressed by some creative flipping as we've discussed before. With passages that follow structure like this, it looks as though you've brought in a thesaurus to make it seem different rather than rewriting it.

That's the worst of it, though this single passage is also uncomfortably close given your reliance on the source: From the article: {{quotation|On June 19, 1874, Sudlow was unanimously chosen as the superintendent for the Davenport schools, become the first woman in history to obtain this achievement.})

From the source:

On June 19, 1874, Phebe made educational history. She was unanimously chosen by the Davenport board of education to be the new Superintendent of Davenport Schools, the first woman in the history of the United States to be hired at this level of school administration.

(I think the next sentence is fine.)

Not as close (or as long) as the passage above, this one could also benefit from some revision of structure. But, note, in one thing you've strayed too far: the source says she was the first woman in the US to achieve this, not the first woman in history. :) Though I don't know, they could have been doing it for decades in Bangladesh. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 00:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Episkopon

Hello -- you just removed requests for help and peer review from the talk page for Episkopon, and wrote to me "Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia...etc." But this article badly needs help! I'm sorry if those were the wrong templates to use, but I did a little reading and thought they might be. I am new and I don't mean to cause any disruption by doing the wrong thing. Would you be able to take a quick glance at the Episkopon article and help it out a little bit? It is a real mess. A serious problem is that living persons are identified as alumni of this organization, which recently was in the news for nearly killing a student during hazing, but there are no citations provided for that. The living persons are highly notable, including a former Governor General of Canada and a former Minister of Defence and Foreign Affairs. Obviously there is some intervention needed. Would you please help? And again, I'm sorry if I used the wrong tools to attract help to the article. Hopefully it works out anyways. Thank you.

It's no problem at all if you accidentally use the wrong templates, Wikipedia is a learning process, I will take a look at the article. Thanks for your help on the project! Sorry if I seemed a little forward in the message I gave you. CTJF83 chat 07:13, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

The Simpsons Star

With the Simpsons WikiProject having reached it's goal of getting every single article about a season 1-9 episode, 203 in total, of The Simpsons to GA status. With that accomplished, I am trying to thank every member (and non-member) who was involved in the effort in some way.

McClellan Heights Historic District - map vs photo

Might you be interested in having the district map and house photo stitched together in one image for the infobox? I'm not sure how the end result would look, but I'd be willing to give it a go. I did something like it for the Tinker Building in Orlando, to get both parts of it. Lemme know.

Your Removal of 'Divorced' from Will Schuester

If you go to nearly any other television character who has been divorced, you'll see that the divorce is noted next to the ex-spouse's name in the same manner as it is with Terri's. Examples include Allison Cameron, Perry Cox, Miranda Bailey, Addison Montgomery, Mary Richards, and Ross Geller, and that's just after a few minutes' worth of research ... but I have yet to find a divorced character who doesn't have that divorce noted in the infobox. Your removal of it is counter to the repeated consensus of how to treat an ex-spouse in the infobox-character template, and so I'd like to respectfully ask you to stop imposing your own preference upon the issue. If you disagree, then I suggest we either get a third opinion (full disclosure: I also provide third opinions on occasion; I don't think that will cause bias, though) or solicit feedback from other users at WikiProject Television. WCityMike 04:23, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Can you point out any GA or FA articles with that? Note FA Homer Simpson how his exwife from an episode isn't listed. Just because those low quality articles have ex listed, doesn't mean that is the way it should be. CTJF83 pride 04:27, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes. Going through all 107 articles on this list, Erica Hahn has a "ex-girlfriend" paranthetical note in her character infobox; we have ex-wife notations in infoboxes for Smoking Man, James Wilson, and Alexander Mahone; we have divorced parantheticals in Todd Manning and Dimitri Marick; we have paranthetical years of marriage next to spouses in infoboxes for Chrissie Watts and Betty Williams; we have fiancee/engaged notations in infoboxes for John Winchester and Maggie Horton, and we have deceased notations next to the spouses in infoboxes for Adrian Monk, Maggie Horton, Ellen Harvelle, and Ned Flanders. WCityMike 05:04, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Also, off the featured articles list, see Troy McClure -- this link is to the edit of the page as it was when it was the 5/28/08 featured article of the day for Wikipedia, and thus on the front page. WCityMike 05:50, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Would you argue against this edit too? I ask for a 3rd opinion. CTJF83 pride 04:34, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I have no opinion on this edit. As to the second part, I'll put in a third-opinion request. WCityMike 05:32, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

(ec) From my understanding of WP:WAF and the 'IN-U' section, things like ex and deceased don't belong on fictional character pages. These are real world items that should be left to real world people. For the first (#) of episodes, Will and Terri where married, therefore causing the infobox to be false. If we use divorced, why not ex for boyfriend/girlfriend, which WCityMike said he has no opinion on one way or the other...what is the real difference?...as for Tory McClure, one could argue that it is better to have exwife, then no relatives at all (which would be the case), but I won't argue that. CTJF83 pride 05:55, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Before any 3rd party weigh in, I suggest perhaps discussion from a broader audience, as it could effect many character pages. CTJF83 pride 06:02, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

A third opinion isn't binding; the opinion provided is just a tool that can be used towards reaching consensus. I suggest we wait to see what the third-opinion provider says, since I went ahead and put it on the board after you requested it. Just getting the opinion won't bind you. If that doesn't solve the problem for you, we can maybe do a request for comment on Wikipedia:WikiProject Television, since Glee doesn't have a separate WikiProject. Sound good? Frankly, though, given that I've provided you with six plain examples, 13 good articles, and one featured article that all employ the methodology you're trying to take a counterposition to, I'm honestly not sure why you're still sticking to the same opinion. WCityMike 06:16, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Just because 100 GA/FAs has something, doesn't make it right, do you see any validity in my point? Perhaps I misunderstand WP:IN-U CTJF83 pride 06:19, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually, yes, just because 100 GA/FAs have something, that makes it have an extremely high probability of being right. Do you know how much superdetailed, ultra-nitpicking, fine-tooth-comb-looking-over an article goes through to get GA'd or FA'd? For 13 GAs and 1 FA -- especially, good grief, a featured article that was on the front page, those guys are even more finely gone over -- to employ that methodology means that a considerably large number of Wikipedia editors, in the process of making those articles shipshape for the review process, decided they had no problem with that methodology; otherwise, it would've been commented upon in the formal review process an article goes through to get that distinction. Given that, there's established consensus on the issue. With all due respect, to answer the question you ask me, I don't see any validity in your point, no. WCityMike 06:28, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, if you could answer these questions, then maybe there won't be a need for 3O, what's the difference between divorced and ex-bf/gf, the WP:IN-U stuff, ie. "Fictography – a fictional character article or section written as if it were a biography." and "Using infoboxes intended for real world topics.", and in the first several episodes were they are married, it makes the infobox false....I know real world people are updated if they are divorced, but that goes against IN-U guidelines. CTJF83 pride 06:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

(a) There's a substantial difference in meaning between a husband and a boyfriend, or a wife and a girlfriend, or a partner and a boyfriend/girlfriend; thus, there's a substantial difference between an ex-spouse and an ex-girlfriend. I'm not taking a position one way or the other on Rachel's article, but except in rare cases, spouses are usually of greater meaning to a character's life than boy-/girlfriends. (b) The infobox template being used is infobox-character, which is an infobox intended for fictional characters. Thus, that subpoint's not correct. (c) Infoboxes are written as of the fictional universe's present, or, to put it a different way, as of the most recently released episode. If a character is dead, that character's infobox is going to reflect that he or she is dead, even though "it makes the infobox false" for the episodes where they were alive. (d) Describing fictiography as a problem does not suggest biographical information about a fictional character must be absent from its article. I see you're next door to my state, in Iowa, so you'll hopefully understand when I say it's late and I'm hitting the hay for now. I'll pick this up with you tomorrow. Or later today, I suppose, to be more accurate. Good night for now. WCityMike 06:53, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you on the going to bed part...as for the rest, I'm not really gonna argue too much one way or another, we can wait for a 3rd party, as this isn't really getting anywhere...night! CTJF83 pride 07:02, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Response to third opinion request:

I cannot consider myself an experienced writer for Wikipedia, but I think the wording in the section called "Infoboxes and Succession boxes" should clarify the situation here. It reads: "Infoboxes, usually placed in the upper-right portion of an article, give key data about the article's subject in tabular format. For entities within fiction, useful infobox data might include the creators or actors, first appearance, an image, and in-universe information essential to understanding the entity's context in the overall fiction." According to that description specific to infoboxes, limited in-universe information is OK. My opinion is that a small note on being divorced is in line with the instruction above.—Deddly (talk) 08:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the 3O. Given this opinion, Ctjf83, have we reached consensus or do you still feel differently? WCityMike 19:28, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't wanna be a pain...but I'd like a 3O from a more experienced user, one with more than 8 edits. CTJF83 pride 19:33, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I agree with Ctjf83. I believe that to avoid an in-universe/recentist slant, the infobox as far as possible should apply to the character's time in the show as a whole. I think it's basically the same logic as listing all a show's stars in the series' infobox rather than just the ones in the current series, and I generally find that intricacies of relationship details are better explained in Plot/Storylines sections. Frickative 20:05, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

It's just not what's being done in infoboxes: the evidence is very clear. Frickative, I'm sorry, are you a third-opinion provider coming here from the board request? WCityMike 21:53, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

No, I just happened to notice the discussion on my watchlist. 13 GAs and 1 FA aren't a particularly large sample, and I'd be interested to know how many comparable articles don't have such notes in the infobox. For the record, I put the majority of the Erica Hahn article together myself, and the note there was not present at the time it passed GA, but has been added after the fact, so would not have been a consideration of the reviewer there. Frickative 22:11, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

"13 GAs and 1 FA aren't a particularly large sample." *head asplode* Yeah, I'll have to disagree with that one. WCityMike 22:32, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

No need at all for rudeness or dramatics. 13 isn't a large sample of 107 articles, and I believe I asked a reasonable question re: how many of the remaining 94 articles don't follow the same convention. I will add that I wouldn't necessarily object to noting the dates of their marriage in the infobox (if known). I think that that presentation would negate the issue that 'divorced' presents, whereby, as Ctjf83 notes above, for the majority of the series (20 of 22 episodes), the characters aren't divorced. Frickative 22:39, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Only a certain proportion of the 107 GAs have divorces or spouses, so it's not 13/107, it's 13/(??). However, since this disagreement now has three people -- Ctjf83, Frickative and I -- WP:3Oers automatically disqualify themselves from the argument. It's solely for disagreements between two editors. The next stop is a WP:RfC on WikiProject Television. I set one up here. WCityMike 23:05, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I personally would suggest a note on the user's talk page stating that you are planning on moving the userspace article to the main space (and maybe a welcome) (looks like have already). It is possible that they may simply not be aware of how to do this themselves.

Davenport Ladies College

CT: With your knowlege of all things Quad Cities, do you recognize this building: File:Ladies college 1856.jpg. You can find the original text at Google Books, search "Iowa as it is in 1856". An interesting building, probably one of the tallest in Iowa at the time, judging from the sketch, but, beyond the reference in "Iowa as it is in 1856" I know nothing else about it, hoping you might... Bill Whittaker (talk) 18:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, interesting, right off the bat, I don't recognize the building, it looks similar to one in the Village of East Davenport, I'll take a drive tomorrow (headed to work soon), and see if it matches up. The college was originally called Mount Ida P 173, the book says it is at 3rd St and College/Bridge streets, which doesn't exist note the map, College and Bridge only go to 9th St, then run into the river. I had created Mount Ida (Davenport, Iowa) in my beginning days of Wikipedia, but requested speedy deletion, because I didn't think it was notable enough, but it has to be related, and Mount Ida is near the Village of East Davenport. I will definitely go out driving tomorrow in this area to try and search the building, and head to the library, and do more internet searches to see what I can come up with. CTJF83 pride 20:42, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I think it was one of the tallest buildings in Iowa in the 1850s. judging from the sketch, well over 60 feet, probably approaching 80 feet, but that's just a guess. I'd be shocked if it still stood. Bill Whittaker (talk) 20:54, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Me too, I will go check tomorrow! CTJF83 pride 01:33, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Well the building I thought it might be didn't pan out. I will have to do more research. Being that the supposed location of it doesn't exist, I drove up and down College and Bridge streets, and the best my OR could come up with is that at 10th Streets and the other 2 is a large apartment complex, (Google Street view and (well I don't know how to link to a Bing ariel map, of 1000 College Ave)), shows it is very feasible that the college was there and then tore for an apartment complex. CTJF83 pride 20:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate it. Still a damn big building for 1852.... I'll upload an 1865 sketch of Davenport for you as thanks. Bill Whittaker (talk) 13:55, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Bigger than I thought: file:Mount ida 1858.jpg. It probably was taller than Old Cap, but I'm not certain. In the skyline I uploaded, I suspect it is the domed building on the left in the background.... Bill Whittaker (talk) 17:08, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

SVT: The "Iowa Census Vandal"

Hi. I've found what I currently believe is an anonymous IP editor (173.31.144.162 (talk · contribs)) who has persistently and subtly vandalized over 20 articles, all regarding cities or counties in Iowa. The pattern that is emerging is that this editor changes demographic information, subtly adjusting various percentages of White, Black, Asian, and other ethnic groups. I've written more about it on my talk page and would appreciate any feedback on the situation which you'd care to give. Cheers! -- Bgpaulus (talk) 22:12, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I don't know what it wants for ref 38. CTJF83 chat 20:31, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

The template seems to be indicating that you have forgotten the "title" attribute in the template. You should use the title of the page as it appears at the top of the browser window (obviously not including the name of the browser usually appended to this). Hope that helps.

Actually, I note that you did this, and I don't see an issue with the template syntax. Perhaps someone else will spot something I missed; I'm replacing the helpme tag. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 20:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

There was a minor typo in the 'title' parameter - fixed :) Frickative 20:55, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for getting Untitled Griffin Family History through GA. I actually didn't even notice that the review had begun! Anyway, thanks for addressing ThinkBlue's concerns. Gage (talk) 18:40, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for getting Dial Meg for Murder through as well. Gage (talk) 18:41, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
