Could you take a look at this picture and confirm whether or not it is in Haw River State Park? According to Flickr it is. I don't remember where I got the other one. It was probably from Flickr but was just the Haw River. Gerry D (talk) 01:48, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Linking to categoriesHey, I just wanted to let you know that you can link directly to categories and files by adding a colon to the beginning of a link, as I've done here. You don't have to copy and paste the entire URL. --Gyrobo (talk) 00:34, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
WikiProject Protected areasHi Sparkgap, and welcome to WikiProject Protected areas! The project has been somewhat sleepy lately, but I hope that activity can be increased considerably through a number of initiatives. I'm thinking that maybe a Portal might be useful. I also advanced two proposals to speed up assessments and to set up the popular pages tool for the WikiProject. Your thoughts on these proposals would be welcome. --Elekhh (talk) 00:58, 8 July 2011 (UTC) Moving Leave No TraceI believe that the recent move of Leave No Trace to Leave No Trace (organization) does not have consensus. Please join the discussion at Talk:Leave No Trace (organization)#Reverting move to Leave No Trace (organization). Thanks! —hike395 (talk) 01:43, 11 July 2011 (UTC) 136kHzYou have moved 136 kHz to 2200-meter band with no prior discussion as far as I can see. The only consensus I can see is a Wikipedia consensus. In the UK, as the first country to gain an allocation, the band is ALWAYS referred to as 136kHz. I only see it referred to as 2200m in the USA, a country that still has not got access to that band. I am tempted to revert these changes. Dsergeant (talk) 05:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
All amateur band articles moved from the form "x meters" or "x centimeters" to "x-meter band" or "x-centimeter band"
Barnstar
North Carolina International PortIf there were available facts (rather than opinions) supporting or justifying the construction of the proposed port, they would be cited in the article. If you look at the history of the piece, the only alternate viewpoints have been wholesale bulk erasures without providing any factual statements or references. Your negative citations at the top of the article are inappropriate.Skyler69 (talk) 22:07, 9 September 2011 (UTC)Skyler69
Edits by Ballard47 to Alcoa Power Generating Inc.I started a discussion here.

When you recently edited 23-centimeter band, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WARC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 14:19, 4 October 2012 (UTC) Wiki 60 meter band page - You hold an Anti-Vandalism Barnstar ?You hold an Anti-Vandalism Barnstar ? That's a joke ! Not content with changing my text in the Amateur Radio Bands Template page concerning ITU Radio Regulation 4.4, which, together with its link to ITU is perfectly clear and is far more accurate than your replacement wording, you now proceed to decimate the External Links section, abusing the Wikistyle 'rules' to do so. Needless to say I have re-instated it. Why is it that the 60 meter band page can remain in a stable state for something like 6 months - nobody complains - and then you come along and start messing about with it? You don't make any positive contributions of new material, (or material from your own country, for that matter) - just negativity all the time. If that isn't vandalism, I don't know what is. This page has now become a well-respected, accurate piece of encyclopaedic work and one of the sources used and quoted by IARU. Your actions are not just upsetting me, but doing a disservice to Amateur Radio itself. I presume you're active on 5 MHz/60m ? And have a callsign (instead of hiding behind the Username of 'SparkGap')? Paul Gaskell (G4MWO) Paul Gaskell (talk) 04:22, 1 January 2013 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for October 11Hi.

I didn't realize that the name field was an active variable to the Navbox template - so apologies for asking for help before checking out the Navbox documentation. Should have done that first. So you are saying that I can replace: | name = Georgia (U.S. state) hiking trails with just: | name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
