Good day. I noticed you recently rated the Columbus, Ohio article as "B" class. However, there was no explanation as to the reasoning behind this mark. Could you provide some justification for it as well as suggest ways in which the article could be improved? That would be immensely helpful. The article is quite extensive and very well referenced, so I am a bit surprised that it was given the same grade as approximately 1.5 years ago prior to a number of major improvements. --Analogue Kid14:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ohioan, I've quickly checked out the Columbus, Ohio article and it appears to be ready to become a good article. If you want, nominate the article on the good article nomination page. I'll then review it more completely and will be happy to promote it (if everything checks out).--Alabamaboy23:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Many thanks for the nomination. I'll hopefully be working on it some more with the long term goal of having it become a featured article. --Analogue Kid04:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

You have gone way over the WP:3RR limit on the above article. While I appreciate your reporting of it to WP:RPP, the correct response isn't to revert-war. The other anon editor was at something like 8R and has now been blocked from editing - Alison☺01:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Note also that 3RR doesn't apply to undoing vandalism. Just keep in mind there's a difference between vandalism and a content dispute. Rklawton20:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

Thanks for working on improving the intros for various Ohio towns, but please remember not to remove the {{GR|6}} tags, which appear primarily in reference to towns that are county seats. Nyttend01:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.
I honestly don't know. I do know that SR 761 was tagged with speedy deletion because I was the only one who contributed to the article. There are several Ohio state route articles that only one person contributed to, so maybe they're going after all of them? I'll keep an eye out; maybe the members of the project just need to contribute more to other articles. MilkTaco 18:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi - This is Dan, a frequent contributor to the Ohio Roads Project, and also the webmaster of Ohio Highway Ends (http://www.state-ends.com/ohio/). I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is a gathering of roads enthusiasts, if you will, taking place in Dayton on Saturday, 5/10 at Logan's Road House, 2819 Centre Dr., Fairborn, OH 45324. The first part is a meet-and-greet over lunch, giving people a chance to shoot the breeze, with some attendees potentially bringing some interesting maps, atlases, pictures and more. There may even be a freebie or two floating out there at the gathering (such as a free map). After lunch, we'll divide up and take a tour of some highlights from Dayton area highways, including the almost-completed I-70/75 interchange (the "Freedom Veterans' Crossroads"), reconstruction of the I-75/OH 4 interchange, the newly-reconstructed US 35 through downtown Dayton, and a side tour to an historic crossroad: Dixie Highway & the National Road. We should be wrapped up with the tour by 4:30-5:00 PM. That's a brief synopsis of what the event will entail; I am sending a special invite to all of the Ohio Roads Project editors. These events are always fun, unique and very informative. If you have the opportunity on that day, I would like to invite you to join us. If you have any questions or would like to RSVP, please let me know in the coming days. Thanks, and have a great week! DanTheMan474 (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock
Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on.
A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on.
Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.

OHWiki: Hope you're having a good July 4th weekend so far. I am working to start ramping up the Ohio Highways WikiProject on a much larger scale, especially coming off of one of the first Ohio highway GAs (Ohio State Route 716). There is a lot of work to do on this project, given a number of stubs and a number of routes that do not even have any pages, but we definitely have the people out there to make it happen...especially including yourself. I wanted to talk to you about some of the possibilities for this; please let me know if you would be interested, and if so we will coordinate from there. Thanks, and enjoy the remainder of your weekend! DanTheMan474 (talk) 17:30, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

A while back, you added a demographics table to Daytona Beach, Florida. I had to delete the figures from 1910/1920 because they are likely out of context. You are probably not aware that three separate cities, Daytona, Daytona Beach, and Seabreeze merged in 1926 into a consolidated Daytona Beach (so that the figures you pulled for 1910-1920 were only for the OLD Daytona Beach, which was a tiny city). Daytona was the oldest and largest of the three cities. I don't know if you can still dig up the data, but if you can pull up the populations for all three cities, it would be more accurate.

Thanks for doing the work to gather the additional info. I will have to figure out where to put the new infoboxes now! LOL - I was thinking about making separate pages for Daytona and Seabreeze - I guess I should do that now.

Hello I found your downtown shot of Norwalk Ohio. I'd like to have your permission to present your photograph for use in in a new/remodeled restaurant in Norwalk. Upon approval we would enlarge it to 16x20, mat and frame it for use as wall decor in this single restaurant. Your name would appear in the credit line. Thank you for your time.
Yes, why not, you do have permission to use my photograph. I'm more then happy to allow you to present my photograph for use.

Dear OHWiki,
Thanks for uploading the Mechanics Bank photo into the Richland County NRHP list.
It reminded me that I had some photos from April 29, 2011 that I hadn't yet uploaded or quite figured out yet.
On that afternoon I zipped through town and took photos of about 25 NRHP sites on Park Avenue West. I was disappointed that I couldn't snap all the PAW sites and unfortuneately couldn't quite figure out the adresses on a couple.
Is there any chance you could check out or confirm a couple of these for me? Today I switched what I thought was
428 PAW to 437 PAW, and
365 PAW to 415 PAW
I believe they are now correct, but it bothers me that I wasn't sure when I uploaded them. If you see any other apparent mistakes please let me know.
I'm a bit obsessive about completing the NRHP county lists. Do you know that there are only about 22 NRHP sites left to photograph before the Richland County list is fully illustrated? In particular, I'd like to see
the John Sherman Memorial Gateway (listed on July 8, 1983 at 699 Park Ave., W. 40°45′32″N 82°32′26″W right next to the Fraser House). I walked by this several times without knowing what I was looking for exactly, and even got a partial photo of half of it while taking a pic of a historical marker. It's right where Brinkerhoff Ave meets Park Ave. West. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks - any contribution of NRHP site pix is always appreciated. I'll assume that I finally figured out the right address for the right photo unless you move them around, but in the odd chance that I make it back to Mansfield again (from Philadelphia) I may check again. It looks to me like "Pacific Curios Antiques 365 Park Ave., W. 40°45′31″N 82°31′46″W" has been torn down for the Park Avenue car wash (381 PAW) with 359 immediately to the east. I don't have a clue as to why I didn't find the "John Krause House 428 Park Ave., W. 40°45′33″N 82°31′53″W". I wouldn't be too afraid of neighborhood disapproval in taking these types of pix - for every 100 sites I take, I'd say I get 3 or 4 disapproving glances or comments ("Why don't you mind your own business" or "leave us alone") and 10-20 positive comments ("You know I went to school there - it was a great place" or "I didn't think many people really knew how important this is"). Mostly, of course folks just ignore me!

Hi OHWiki,
I'm pretty new to new to wikipedia and not sure if I'm even messaging you the correct way. Anyway, I uploaded a picture of Wooster High School to Wikimedia Commons a little bit ago and put it into for the "Wooster High School (Ohio)" article. I did a little research and saw that you do a lot of editing on Ohio articles and I was hoping you could help on this one. I was hoping you could help reformat the picture like all of your other articles, so they are all at least uniform, or simply take a better picture since mine isn't too clear. I would appreciate the help! Feel free to message me back, even though I'm not sure how to see messages yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahogea9018 (talk • contribs) 23:03, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi OHWiki,
I'm Kevin, one of the founding members of the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Created in July 2016, we're working to be a central group of Ohio Wikimedians who organize and support offline events, promote the Wikimedia movement in Ohio, build connections throughout our state, and above all, support each other. We already have a handful of members and have worked to support multiple events, including Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States and several Art+Feminism edit-a-thons at universities throughout Ohio.
I wanted to reach out to you and invite you to join the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Being a part of the user group will allow easy communication between active Ohio editors, notifications of upcoming events in the Ohio area, and, if you're interested, the opportunity to help organize events such as edit-a-thons or workshops. Some notes:
All members receive a monthly newsletter with recent happenings, upcoming events, and more. Check out our April newsletter here.
This Thursday at 8:30 EST, we're having our first online meeting. Check out our meeting page here for more details, an agenda, and a section to sign up if you'd like to join us. Topics will include introductions and brainstorming for future projects.
Right now we have a Wikipedia Takes Columbus photo event going on, a Wiknic coming up this summer, and opportunities to attend the upcoming Ohio Private Academic Libraries Conference.

Hello OHWiki,
I'm a former Wikipedia contributor (see my German page) now contributing to OpenStreetMap, the 'Wikipedia of the maps', for some years. I've been mapping some areas in Morrow and Richland Counties for a while now (espacially Mount Gilead and Ontario) and wanted to ask you if you would like to help me a bit, if you want to. Since I am not a local myself (actually living abroad) your additions could enrich the map a lot. :-)

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ohio State Reformatory may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
