User talk:Ellin Beltz/Archive 2

Welcome back?

I have seen you around a bit. I hope you are back. I raise an eyebrow at some of what I see going on around here and wonder, but then I look at the Carson Mansion article I created a ways back and see that it gets viewed something like an average of over 100 times a day...that is over 9,000 times a quarter! It needs a lot more work to be anything like the quality of the Seth Kinman article, for example. But, hopefully, I will get to it one of these days. :-) Norcalal (talk) 22:34, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply

Wow! That was a great answer Elin. I really appreciated it , thanks. I will write more later. (Benbullen) , 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank You!

I appreciate the warm welcome and the reference to materials in how to get started. Thank you for engaging me and giving me an opportunity to try out a talk page and tilda signatures. I appreciate the contributions you've made to the Loleta pages, you've really improved the content over the past year. Thanks again. Specialjake (talk) 05:30, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: DYK nomination of Harley-Davidson Model W

Thank you for reviewing the nomination of Harley-Davidson Model W. I have removed the uncited statement from the article and I have found and added an alternate photo. Could you please review the changes made? Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 18:47, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, but all I did was make suggestions, I didn't actually change your article! Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:39, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, but you reviewed the article again after the changes were made. Thanks! Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 01:18, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Sally Tanner

On 29 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sally Tanner, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Sally Tanner wrote California's lemon law? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sally Tanner. 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.

Love to get your reaction

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Do you know about Wiki Loves Monuments? See wikilovesmonuments.us

• Not yet !! ( will look )

There a new part with California Landmarks, see California Historical Landmarks in Humboldt County, California

• I saw that, nifty. We already have some of those photos uploaded. Weren't they good enough for the new page? I'm confused.
  • No confusion necessary. User:SarahStierch did all of the California lists herself and couldn't check everything. Send your kudos to her.

Also, please see WT:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Historic_Places#WLM_Android_App_from_WMF

• Would love to see the app but I don't have a mobile phone. I'll have to get someone with an Android phone to show me how it works.
  • And I thought I was technologically behind the times! But I don't have a land line. Yes I know how dumb the 1st comment is!

Other stuff... Do you want me to up load photos of Seth Kinman's stuff to Commons? We didn't have opportunity to talk about it since that day !

• • I've got a CD from the ultimate expert w/ about 200 images. Have uploaded maybe 10%

All the best, Smallbones_(smalltalk) 02:48, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with your assessment of Humboldt County historic places. I'll especially point out that the scenery there, which can be included in many photos, is spectacular, even if fog often gets in the way. As far as "the usual suspects" - they're everywhere, on-wiki and off-. So feel free to join in and let me know if you run into any problems,

All the best

Main problem is FOG. We haven't had visibility over 1/4 mile for the past week. Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Go to

California Historical Landmarks in Humboldt County, California and click the "upload here" button by the site you want to upload a photo of. I'll add {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2012|us}} to the cross picture, which should do pretty much the same thing.

All the best,

Eureka! Eureka...

Hi Ellin. Of course, you make complete sense. It is such a pleasure to take constructive criticism from you (I genuinely mean that, btw)...I am always delighted to see your work around...and even in the article (Eureka, Calfornia) that I have worked the hardest on since I began here in 2006, I believe. Its important to me for sentimental reasons so its all the more important that I am careful to watch for bias like any good historian or sociologist. Though the statement I made in the lead section is true regarding Eureka's size in the lower 48(on the entire Pacific Coast), you are absolutely correct that we must cite it for it to stay, or we will just have trouble (as has been the case from time to time with that very statement!). I keep thinking I will have that time I keep intending for more in-depth research on these "little" things and, also, for the creation of daughter articles, for example, which would lead to better sub-sections for the history portion of the article (not only for Eureka, but also for Humboldt County, and, perhaps, Arcata).

Table separator.

Hi Ellin. I've had a look at the table on List of massacres in the United States and don't see a missing separator. Between Aurora and Columbine (as you mentioned) looks the same to me in the article and in the editing window as for the others. Perhaps it's a browser issue. Have you tried others or changed your zoom level in case something pops up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack of Many (talk • contribs) 12:13, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
