Just thought I'd drop in to let you know I can delivery any newsletters whilst you're away (so I guess this comment is also directed to anyone coming here to ask you to deliver something!). of course, you'll be taking up the torch again once you get back. so far I've been asked to deliver the Judaism letter which goes out on Aug 2. Of course, if you're back in action before then, have at it! best, –xeno (talk) 23:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC) Is WP:CHICAGO due for another bot run? What is the current schedule?

Domitian (Toledo Museum of Art)Some time ago I placed a request on the talkpage of Wikiproject Ohio for an image from the Toledo Museum of Art (a bust of emperor Domitian). Sadly, no-one ever responded, but you suggested to write to the museum personally for permission of images. Would you still be willing to do this? We need more than just "permission" to use images of course, but also "actual" images (such as this [1]). So any free pictures they're willing to "donate" to Wikipedia are fine by me. Otherwise I don't think they'll release copyright to any of their official museum photos (or stipulate non-commercial use only). Good luck with recovering from that surgery btw. Regards. --Steerpike (talk) 21:36, 4 August 2008 (UTC) Welcome backGreat to see you are back. How are you feeling? I've got a couple of little jobs if you like to take the bot out of the garage and give it a run around. Best. --Kleinzach 00:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Medicine Featured Topic Task Force proposalHey Stepshep, I've just set up a proposal for a new task force in the WikiProject Medicine called FTTF, or the Featured Topic Task Force. We aim to create a featured topic for medicine, most likely to do with an infectious disease of some form (the proposals so far include polio and bacterial infections in general) and become the first medical featured topic. The proposal can be found here and further discussion can be found at the bottom of the WikiProject Medicine talk page. I've very much appreciate your comments and possibly support of such a proposal, if you'd be willing to take part! —CyclonenimT@lk? 13:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC) Category based Bot TaggingHi there, I hope you remember expressing serious concerns regarding category based WikiProject tagging by bots here. I made this FAQ list which tries to answer some of your concerns. Let me know if you have any questions .

Ralbot (talk) 06:02, 23 August 2008 (UTC) Motto of the dayHello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help. When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this. If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 02:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC) BotHey. I hope recovery is coming along. I should now mention that the frequency of your bot runs is important. We are testing an alert bot at WP:CHIAA. When it becomes a daily feature, frequent talk page tagging will be useful. Often WP:AFDs occur when an article is new or malformed. People may not have properly created talk pages for such articles. Your tagging may help us save articles.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 13:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

We are looking for an "announcement bot" to help announce our Version 0.7 article selections for each WikiProject. Would Shepbot be able to help? It would involve the following:
The "missing" WikiProjects may be new, or have incorrect links, and we can hopefully contact them by hand. Can you do this? Cheers, Walkerma (talk) 14:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Template:Buckeye Border ConferenceA tag has been placed on Template:Buckeye Border Conference requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted. If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes ( Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 15:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
OHU image taggingthis edit is no good. It's essential to keep the correct tags on images, so reusers know what they're dealing with and so forth. I reverted the edit, though if you want to keep the rationale around for no particular reason, feel free. THe image talk is probably a better place for it, though.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Yankees logoI don't think you're right that the jersey logo is in the public domain. A version of their interlocking "N" and "Y" was in use before 1923, but not the current version. It has been adapted and changed over the years, and the current version dates from the 1960s. If they don't own that because it bears resemblance to the original one, then they don't own the cap logo or print logo either (from the 1970s and 1960s, respectively), as they bear equal resemblance to the 1909 logo. That seems very unlikely to me. Sounds like we need a lawyer to weigh in before such an assertion. SixFourThree (talk) 13:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree Wikiproject reworkingSorry to say, I'm not the best person to ask, as I'm not of a person for æsthetics.

Nyttend (talk) 16:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC) adding new NRHP listingsHi. You asked how to add new NRHP listings into List of RHPs in OH, with reference to several new listings noted. I went to do one of the list, to inform myself to comment most specifically about how to do it for the rest. But I found "Ansel Road Apartment Buildings Historic District" was already added to the Cleveland sublist within Cuyahoga county's list. Perhaps they are already all added? User:Sanfranman59 has been updating the Ohio lists, and the "updated as of" date states as of October 10 now, so actually i would be disappointed if those were not already in the tables (and Sanfranman59 should be notified). Anyhow, there is no trick to how to do it...the new listings have to be added manually by copying another row and editing it. The new listing info does not include coordinates, so you can either leave that blank, or you can look up coordinates based on the street address given. You can get coordinates from google maps, for example. See Wikipedia:Obtaining geographic coordinates for tips. I have some notes also in the "Coordinates" section of wp:NRHPMOS, too. That covers converting from decimal to degrees-minutes-seconds for adding to a NRHP infobox (which only accepts d-m-s format), but the list-tables can have decimal coords. Cheers, doncram (talk) 04:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC) DMOZ?Hi, I was the one that put the links back into the pectus excavatum article. What's DMOZ and why did you remove the external links? Just wondering. --Seth Goldin (talk) 21:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC) CourthousesJust one request: when you create articles like Hardin County Courthouse, could you please add the {{Ohio County Courthouses}} to the bottom?

More on the Yankees logoAccording to Tess, the logo in question was first used in 1960[:::My source for that is TESS, which gives a first use date of 1960[3], and it is under active trademark. Not PD. SixFourThree (talk) 16:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)SixFourThree
Hi. Someone has just noticed the strange text for this. I've checked and found you changed the text for this on 21 June. It seems you changed the Classical Music banner text to the Composers banner one. It's very odd. I guess we must have become confused as some point. Do you remember anything about this? I've asked for it to be unprotected so we can correct it. --Kleinzach 10:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I did my best, and the tagging has began. What it has come down to is I scanned each article for the word "Stub", if it has stub in it it was tagged as "|class=stub|auto=yes" That means there are more than likely to be a handful of false positives, but nothing drastic by any means. I'll report here when the run is finished. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 20:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Alas, complaints there are. See Talk:Große Fuge#Why is this article classed as a stub?. Your bot apparently thought the article was a stub because it contained the word "stubborn". Your Bot tagged at least two articles I have worked on as stubs, which emphatically were not stubs. --Ravpapa (talk) 04:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Ohio television station stubsGreetings! I see you have recently created one or more new stub templates or categories. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This helps to reach consensus about whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries, where comments are welcome as to any rationale for this stub type. Please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals! This message is a boilerplate, left here as a courtesy, and should not be considered personal in nature. Nyttend (talk) 02:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC) BreakPlease be careful with the Ohio Television Station Stubs templates, you marked WVFX as a Ohio station. WVFX is located in West Virginia and it's coverage doesn't reach Ohio. - NeutralHomer • Talk • October 18, 2008 @ 02:27
Stub tagging of Marie NovelloI see that your bot tagged Marie Novello as a stub--and, based on the criteria established for it, quite appropriately, as that article does carry the "stub" classification. My concern: to a large extent through my plinking at it, the article has grown beyond what I would consider truly a "stub," but given my close involvement in the thing I've been hesitant to remove the tag. I guess I figured that in due course someone independently would reassess the article and remove the tag if appropriate, just as somebody pinned a "cleanup" tag on it (alas, without offering any suggestions about what to clean up). Please forgive my ignorance, but how does such reassessment come about, or does it? If, as I'm beginning to suspect, it doesn't of its own accord, should I suggest that it happen, and if so, to whom? Thanks for your help, and, again, my apologies for being so far down the learning curve! Drhoehl (talk) 21:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
New entry on Cincinnati NRHP listHi Shep ... I don't know about being the person to come to about these things, but the numbering in the NRHP lists are is supposedly alphabetic by the first "significant" word in the name of the site. In most cases, it's just the first letter of the first word unless the name starts with an article (e.g. The) or begins with the name of a person. The latter sites are sorted by the first letter of the person's last name. It gets a fuzzier for me when the first word of the site name is an abbreviation, especially St., as in St. Paul's Church ... I don't know if this should be sorted as St. or Saint. I would place Sedamsville River Road Historic District between George Scott House and SHOWBOAT MAJESTIC in the Cincinnati list. Hope that helps. --sanfranman59 (talk) 04:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC) Gull IslandHi, just wondering where you found the coordinates you added for Gull Island Shoal (Lake Erie)? GNIS has nothing by that name. The coordinates that you added, 41°39′55″N 82°41′37″W / 41.66528°N 82.69361°W, are far off to the east of Middle Bass Island. But the sources you added describe it as either off the southern shore of South Bass Island[4] or as between Middle Island and Kelleys Island.[5] The first describes an alternate name as Starve Island, which is in gnis at U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Starve Island. In the second, this appears to be listed at "Starve Island (Reef)", which is different from the one listed as "(extinct) Gull Island Shoal". the coordinates appear to be trying for the second one, but it isn't very clear.older ≠ wiser 22:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Wolterding/Article alerts#Open for subscriptions for details.) --B. Wolterding (talk) 09:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC) Normally I don't care about importance ratings, it isn't something I watch. And under normal circumstances, I would agree, OWU is not a major enough university to be high importance, BUT doesn't being an FA make an article by default high importance? Eg once that level is achieved, I would think there should be a concerted effort to maintain that quality, even if the article normally might not be high importance.---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 23:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
