User talk:Ken Gallager/Archive 4Hi Ken - I'm wondering why you keep removing a citation under the arts section for Mount Chocorua about the band Scissorfight. I'm familiar with the band, and you can read about them here on Wikipedia. They're completely legit. The citation was originally put up by a UNH PhD who is an authority on the music scene in New Hampshire. Do you kill information if it's not the kind of music you like or something? What gives? Thanks - Graham —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grahamsmith (talk • contribs) 15:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
North Woods CampHello Ken Thanks for adding something to North Woods Camp, the article needs help and is now being threaten by deletion. Is there any chance you could help me refine it more? I had attended the class and found that original article had been deleted. I am new at wikipedia, so the article isn't that good. The person in question wants more sources references and certifications to prove that valid entry. YMCA of Great Boston does not have alot information and isn't listed Wikipeda. I've added link to their website but i'm not sure what else i can do list more information on the site. --Colt9033 (talk) 11:04, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
NRHP in New HampshireThanks for checking on the National Register of Historic Places properties in New Hampshire. As far as I've seen, these sites normally have a location given in the "City or Town" column for the nearest population center (i.e. village or whatever-you-call-bigger-than-a-village), and (if I understand right) there are probably some that are listed in one town when they're really in another. Could you go through them, when you get a chance, and make sure that these sites are all listed in the correct towns and cities? Nyttend (talk) 19:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh, also — seeing that you didn't edit Strafford County, I was wondering: was it simply that there's nothing that needs to be fixed? Nyttend (talk) 19:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Robert Greenleaf Leavitt & Blazo-Leavitt HouseHello Ken, I know you keep an eye on those New England pages. As you'll notice from the two pages I mention, a new user (who states that she is the granddaughter of Robert G. Leavitt) is now editing the pieces, unfortunately without much sense that this is an encyclopedia and not a family album. In any case, I just thought I would point the changes out to you, because although I know she is trying to be helpful, I think it's best as a new user particularly to try to insert one's information as gently as possible. I suppose someone should direct her to a summary of what wikipedia is meant to be. Also, I have updated my own user page, and I am trying to find time to get back to the Phillips Exeter entry to do some add-ons, although I have to say that that page seems to be looking better these days. In any case, many thanks. Regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 22:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Grafton, New Hampshire1] was and now-defunct is redundant. 2] The Free State Project is a movement of "liberty-loving people of all stripes"[1] not strictly libertarian people. The Free Town Project participants were all members of the Free State Project. 3] The same analysis above applies to the Grafton Gazzete. 4] The Grafton Gazette was founded in June of 2008. I will change newly-founded with founded in June, 2008 to more factual and lose the injection of opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon4258 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
BerwockThanks for catching the typo: I expanded the descriptions on that list from a very barebones format, but I obviously didn't find all the typos in the original. There's a place, by the way, to list problems like this: if you find an error, it's appreciated :-) if you note it at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/NRIS information issues. Do you know enough outside New Hampshire that you would be willing to work with National Register properties elsewhere in New England as you did for New Hampshire?

TownsAs far as the (town) thing: you're correct about Maine being unique in this way right now; Vermont has several (town)s, but they're to distinguish from its incorporated villages. Of the eight states with minor civil divisions called "towns", four have (town): ME, VT, NY, and WI; this includes many CDPs in NY and WI. Of course, that's unrelated to how it should be done, but thought you'd want to know...Polaron, you may know, has done the same with CT CDPs as you did with NH, although I have a vague impression (I've not looked at it in a long time) that it was less systematically done there. As far as Rhode Island, there are a few CDPs there; it's simply been like with Berwick, where the town article was moved and the CDP left where it was. I have never been involved with Massachusetts much, but I assume it's the same as Rhode Island. Forgive me if this is all old hat :-) I have to study for a college test (reading the unusual and complicated Golden Ass; at least it's in English!), so no time to give my opinion on moving as you did. I'll try to get back to you later. Nyttend (talk) 15:32, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC) Appalachian musicOn Monday, March 9, 2009, I created the article Appalachian music after reading the WikiProject Appalachia page. Someone attempted to restore the redirect to Old-time music, telling me that there was very little information. I undid that edit. However, they were correct regarding the amount of information in the article. Thus, I have a proposal: if we can, we can work together to improve and expand the Appalachian music article. If you know anyone who can help out with the article, please let them know. If you are interested in assisting, have questions, want to talk, etc., feel free to put something on my talk page. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Merrimack1995 is before the Telegraph's electronic archives - and to be honest, I don't remember Shakespeare coming up in that controversy. I do remember a lot about creationism, though, as in this NY Times article [2] But here's an Education Week article that (midway through) says "Twelfth Night" was removed by a teacher [3]. This item [4] talks about the resulting election. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 13:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC) NRHP in Grafton CountyThanks for the corrections; I didn't know about the concurrency, but I guess I should have looked at the picture of the bridge before changing "Crossed" to "Crosses".

This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

It seems like something you could do. Cooljeanius (talk) (contribs) 17:39, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Smith RiverI am under the impression that you once moved the Smith River (New Hampshire) to Smith River (Pemigewasset River). I could not find a Smith River near Wolfeboro, so I wonder wether it's relevant enough outside New Hampshire. Moving it back would bring the naming of the site in concordance with the other Smith Rivers on Wikipedia (CA, MT). As it is now, it seems to suggest at casual glance that the Smith river is the Pemi. Or vice versa. If there's another Smith River in NH, perhaps a sidenote or some such could be integrated in the article. Regards, KapHorn (talk) 10:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

RollbackHello Ken Gallager, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Thanks for getting back to me. Perhaps you could tell me something about Wikipedia etiquette. I noticed that on this article the user "Grk1011" subsequently deleted some information I had inserted back in June. I'm a Merrimac alum, and I was about to add more information (head counselors, camp traditions, etc.) But I certainly don't want to get into a situation where I'm adding and another person simply removes the information. I'd like to find out why Grk1011 removed the content. Is there a "super editor" or anyone who reviews these changes? And I'm curious to know if I'm even corresponding with you in the appropriate way.

Actual locationshttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pan_Am_Railways&diff=310416884&oldid=310408291 Ken Gallager, real locations are very important in these articles. You and I know the United States Postal Service "city" does not always match the actual municipality. The thing is, it is important to tell the reader which municipality (possibly the community too) a place is in, so every place article must have the real municipality stated. "North Billerica" is nothing more than a mailing address designation; it's not even a CDP. It's not acceptable to say North Billerica alone. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
