Would you eliminate "historic landmark" since it is not an official one? Or you can leave it because eventually it will become... Adrian Comollo (talk) 14:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lake Effect Snow Image

Hello, I see that you added a new image to the lake effect snow page and a bot or moderator tagged it for deletion. I also see based on your talk page that you were not notified by whoever did that (the wikipedia policy is that you MUST be notified). If you are interested I could load the same radar data and reproduce a higher resolution image under a CC-SA license. I just need you to confirm the date of the radar image. I see it says 12/21/07, could you confirm this? Thanks!!! Theonlysilentbob (talk) 07:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UTA TRAX

Nice map! (Image:SL trax.jpg) A couple of suggestions: add a 1-mile from Park & Ride circle around University South Campus Station, and have "Holladay" appear in green, horizontal type, just like all of the other cities. Schiptuin (talk) 19:10, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Salt Lake City Public Library system

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Salt Lake City Public Library system, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Salt Lake City Public Library. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hey, I've noticed that you're creating several articles with variations on the text of Salt Lake City Public Library, and I think maybe you just don't know how redirects work. You can link many common misspellings back to the original page without copying text. Please let me know if you need help with anything else! Adam McCormick (talk) 20:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I've tripped you up, I didn't realize that you were doing, I've cleaned up a bit and all should be back in order. Let me know if you need any help Adam McCormick (talk) 20:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

East Bench, Salt Lake City

I'm going to have to protest your decision to move East Bench, Salt Lake City, Utah to Foothill, Salt Lake City, Utah. Not only do I more commonly hear the actual area referred to as the "East Bench" (although I realize that this is a general term for the entire eastern bench area), Salt Lake City itself actually refers to the neighborhood as "East Bench".[1] bob rulz (talk) 06:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I still disagree. The neighborhood is known as East Bench, and although "the" east bench can be referred to any of the bench communities on the east side of the Wasatch Front, it's not officially what it's called. "East Bench, Salt Lake City, Utah" is a proper noun, an actual name, and does specify that it's Salt Lake City and not just any east bench in particular.. I don't think it's quite a big enough deal to move back without other's agreement, but I do believe that East Bench is the proper name for the neighborhood. bob rulz (talk) 18:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mentorship Committee

I'm contacting you because your name is listed at Wikipedia:Meetup/Utah.

Please consider reviewing my edit at Wikipedia:Mentorship#Unintended consequences. In the search for a mentor deemed acceptable by ArbCom, I view this as a useful context for discussing what I have in mind.

There is no obvious congruence between your editing interests and mine, but perhaps the disjunction presents a novel opportunity.

Will you consider looking into whether you might agree to join others in a Mentorship Committee which advises me?

In any case -- even if you are disinclined to pursue the primary thrust of this diff, I wonder if I might be able to tweak your curiosity with an article about 95-year-old Patrick Lennox Tierney? He is a Japanologist academic in the field of art history, an emeritus professor of the University of Utah, a former Curator of Japanese Art at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and a former Commissioner of Art and Monuments during the Allied Occupation of Japan (1945-1952). I think this elderly man still lives near the University. Tierney came to my attention because the Japanese government conferred the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon in 2007.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Tierney's life concerns his work for the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP), Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Tierney's office was near MacArthur's suite in SCAP headquarters. Tierney was an eyewitness on the day Emperor Hirohito came to offer a formal apology; but when the emperor arrived, MacArthur refused to admit him or acknowledge him. Issues which might have been addressed were allowed to remain open, with consequences which unfolded across the decades which followed. In 2006, Tierney made an effort to explain his understanding of what he had personally observed: "Apology is a very important thing in Japan. With us, we don't apologize unless we get caught with our hand in the cookie jar, but for the Japanese, there is a very strong sense of what an apology means." According to popular historian Herbert Bix in Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan, "MacArthur's truly extraordinary measures to save Hirohito from trial as a war criminal had a lasting and profoundly distorting impact on Japanese understanding of the lost war."

Among a prospective mentor's many burdens, the most difficult would involve (a) helping me discern why or when I should apologize or (b) helping me to explain why or when I will not apologize in a wiki-context. --Tenmei (talk) 02:25, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:9th and 9th kinetic sculptures.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:9th and 9th kinetic sculptures.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:34, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
