ContentPlease do not make pages without content. Pages like the state park ones without content (only templates) will be deleted. If you intend to expand these please do so soon. Also you are using the wrong naming convention - they should all be named as "Name State Park" and only as "Name State Park (Pennsylvania)" only if there is a conflict. "Name, Pennsylvania" is used for populated places. Rmhermen 17:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Page BlankingOn 09-Feb, you blanked Moshannon State Forest, Pennsylvania, Rothrock State Forest, Pennsylvania, Susquehannock State Forest, Pennsylvania, & Tuscarora State Forest, Pennsylvania. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. In cases of duplicate articles, you should use a redirect. I have redirect each of these to the correct articles. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 14:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC) County SealsHi, i see you have been uploading county seals for variouls counties in PA to go along with the county templates you have created. I thank you for thses addations, but one thing, when you have up,loaded them, you did so under {{PD-USGov}}. That tag does not work for county seals, as the tag allpies to works of the United States Goverment (federal) released into the Public Domain. County seals however are not US goverment works, they are works of the individual counties in question, nore are they allways in the public domain, as some counties do have reserved rights and restrictions to their usage. However the fair use clause, does allow us to dislpay them, so a better tag would be {{seal}}</nowkik>, as the reational would be better situated for these symbols. Thanks, and kepp up the work. --~~~~
Bucks County NavBoxHowdy, I noticed you added a Bucks County Nav Box to the article on Levittown, Pennsylvania. You will note that "Brittany" is spelled wrong in the list of CDPs. If I knew how to change this ... I would change it. Thanks!! Blondlieut 05:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)Blondlieut@aol.com Page MovesWhen you move a page, pleas do not do a cut and paste move, as the edit history of the page does not move with the content. Instead use the move button at the top of the page, if the system will not allow you to move the page or you are having problems, refer to WP:MOVE for further instructions. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:48, 20 February 2006 (UTC) Poor choice of namePennsylvania Railroad Bridge (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) was built by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, not the PRR (which owned the Cumberland Valley Railroad and used that bridge). You might want to move it to a more appropriate name and delete the redirect. Choess 05:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC) Nice snagregarding Image:St Louis Metro Logo.gif... it brightens up the articles you added it to. (I did a little tinkering with the main MetroLink article to try to correct some spacing oddity I saw after you added the infobox... no big deal...) But I'm wondering if a version without the METRO text on the bottom might be better? Many usages I've seen of it are without the words. That way it could be bigger and yet not take up any more space... in the crossings boxes it looks really small. You can reply here, I watch talk pages where I start convos. ++Lar: t/c 04:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
self references can be links but won't show that wayregarding Patroon Island Bridge (in the crossings box) I saw you took the [[]] from around Patroon Island Bridge... did you know you didn't actually need to do that? Mediawiki software will suppress a link that is a self reference and show it in bold black, even if you have [[]] around it. Of course, maybe you didn't want it in bold black text but I thought I'd mention it... Btw, I've decided you're a Wikipedia:WikiFairy because you go around and make everything way prettier! Thanks for that! (maybe you could give Eads Bridge a once over again? I just added a lot of text to it that I OCRed from the HAER site). Have you joined the Bridges project yet? Happy editing! ++Lar: t/c 04:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Horace Wilkinson bridgeI had been looking for the name of the I-10 bridge in Baton Rouge a while ago, having heard it on the news once upon a time. A quick look today through the parent category lead me to the article. I'll go take a picture someday. And if I'm really strapped for something to do, I'll get one of the Sunshine Bridge as well. Thanks for your bridge work! --Christopherlin 03:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC) countieshow far along are you with the counties? Thanks and QuestionsThanks for all of your hard work on the Pennsylvania counties and their nav boxes. They are a great addition to the articles. I had a couple of questions for you. Do you have a better source for the map of Montgomery County, PA school districts, Image:Montgomery County, PA School District Map.gif? I looked on the web page you cited, but I could not see where it was US Govt PD from that, so I hope you have a better source. I was going to list it on WP:PUI, but wanted to check with you first. Also, could you look at the Montgomery county map there and see if you think it needs to be wider (bigger)? Thanks again for all you do, Ruhrfisch 02:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
List of crossings of the XXX riverI love those lists! And I think you are doing excellent work on them. The recent tableification is great. The only problem is the width="900px" attribute, which makes the table too wide for my screen. I propose we get rid of the width tag and let the users' browsers size the tables. Another possibility would be setting width="100%". Thoughts? Robshill 00:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
ThanksNice work on the buildings and bridges around New Orleans. Keep up the good work. Nolamgm 22:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC) Bridges, highway signs, etc.Thanks for following up on the navboxes for the Mississippi River bridges -- I may have glossed over things in my attempt to get everything slammed in at once. Also, I'm working on uploading the rest of the Minnesota highway sign shields. You can take a look at User:Station Attendant/sandbox for a gallery of everything that's been uploaded so far. (Up to 100, anyway.) Let me know if you need any particular shields that I haven't uploaded yet. --Elkman 23:39, 25 May 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the Twin SpansWhat was I thinking mixing it up with the Pontchartrain Ex.? Thank you for catching that. ACMe 19:46, 4 June 2006 (UTC) PA County Nav boxesFYI, a discussion has started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. counties on removing duplicate information from PA county articles (the bulleted lists of cities, boroughs, townships, and CDPs is duplicated by the info in the couty nav boxes). Thought you might be interested Ruhrfisch 12:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC) Blair County PA School District QuestionWhen I look at maps of Blair County, the Penn Cambria School District (from Cambria County) goes into Blair County at the borough of Tunnelhill, Pennsylvania (a small area). The Census map shows it here [1] and the PA State map of school districts also shows it here [2] (PDF). However the PA State Income Tax Booklet list (which I use to check what School Districts are in which counties, and which has caught every other case like this) does not list Penn Cambria as a Blair County School District. (Otherewise that part of Blair County would be in the Hollidaysburg Area S.D.). Since you added the School Districts, do you have anyway of checking? I will change the map (to drop it) if needed, but this is annoying me no end and I would like to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ruhrfisch 21:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Susquehanna QuestionI got from your editing of my bridge addition of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge at Wago/Marietta that it has been demolished. I knew that the Columbia one has been gone since just after the Second World War. But when did they take down the Wago/Marietta one? I forget whether they called that the high route or the low route (high I think). I have been away for a couple of years and when I went back in May and visited, the tracks looked shiny south of Wago junction, but I didn't go further down river to see the bridge. No one even told me! Luxomni 00:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
A stub you createdYou originally created the stub Forbes State Forest, Pennsylvania which I have expanded in the last couple of days, and I thought you might like to review it. I was actually hoping to take it to WP:DYK but I don't know if it's interesting enough. I tried to add an image but ran into copyvio problems. If you know anything about adding images and maps it would really help that article a lot! As a relatively new contributor I'm interested in expanding articles rather than trying to start my own, but there's a lot to learn about the inner workings of WP :) I've Watchlisted both the article and your Talkpage for now; thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give me. --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 14:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC) East End Bridge infobox.Thanks. youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 18:01, 5 July 2006 (UTC) Fair Use ImagesHi, I made a nav box (based on your PA counties nav box) for Hancock County, Ohio and was asked by User:Durin to remove the fair use State Seal of Ohio from it (I couldn't find the Hancock County Seal). I put the PD map of the county in the nav box instead. Since your PA nav boxes have fair use county seals in them, I thought you might want to think about replacing them too. Durin's comment was "Removing fair use image(s) per terms of Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy item #9 (please see User:Durin/Removal of fair use images for further explanation)." If you think of something to use besides the maps, let me know. Ruhrfisch 03:55, 9 July 2006 (UTC) Removing external links on Interstate pagesStop removing external links I have added to Interstate pages. There is absolutely no good reason they shouldn't be there. --Larrysphatpage 22:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC) Infobox Tennis playerHi, Is it possible to add a option Grand Slam record to the Template:Infobox Tennis player, much like for the singles, but optional so it wi'l not show on every profile? Read this. Thanks - 81.131.45.132 19:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Alabana stuffI see we've crossed paths. I've been kinda scurrying around trying to stop the senseless deletion of stub templates by populating the categories. Alabama is now at 200 and is probably safe. No reply needed. — Jul. 23, '06 [16:03] <freak|talk> WIS XX, not WI-XX, is the way WisDOT and others refer to these routes. This is because the route markers included WIS until recently. --SPUI (T - C) 00:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC) Fair use image useI've removed a large number of fair use tagged images from templates that you have worked on. Per policy at Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9, the use of fair use images on templates is proscribed. Please do not reinser the images onto these templates. You are welcome to add free license images, but town/city/county seals are not generally free license. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. --Durin 16:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC) re: your "revert Twp. removal, keep consistancy w/ other PA country template)"I was starting to change the PA county templates to bring them into consistency with other state templates (e.g.- Template:Pennsylvania, Template:Protected Areas of Pennsylvania, Template:PennsylvaniaTrails) that omit the redundant term (County, State Park, Township) when you reverted my changes. For consistency and for visual appeal (smaller and cleaner) I think that "Twp." should be removed from all templates.Dddstone 15:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Good Work on the Grosse Ile Toll BridgeI'm glad you established an article for the Toll Bridge. I have added a lot of information to the article as I am very familar with the history of the bridge and Grosse Ile (my hometown and I work there). If you have any questions about my additions or edits, please contact me. Mhistory 27 July 2006 Bald Eagle State Forest infobox locator mapHi Dan, re your substitution of the PA locator map on Bald Eagle State Forest, I think the US locator map is better for the PA State Forest articles given the more geographically diffuse nature of the forests (vs. most PA state parks). Bald Eagle is fairly compact but still is in parts of 5 counties, yet the dot is pretty much in one county. The State Forest holdings maps show location in PA too (13 of 20 have these). I also think it is good to be stylistically consistent among the SF articles - look at Buchanan State Forest - where would you put one dot on a PA map for that? Let me know what you think - I would like to revert to the US locator map. Ruhrfisch 14:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC) PS Did you know there is a Wikiproject Pennsylvania starting up?
Thanks for correcting that; I'm using CorHomo (a human-attended disambig fixer) and I'm a little unfamiliar with it. Dr. Sunglasses 05:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the help and corrections. That and Lumberville were home for me. Check the Lumberville bridge too. I hope to get a picture for that one eventually. Luxomni 02:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC) Do you have Pennsylvania shields too? 263 and 32 would sure look nice with a keystone around them. Tnx again. Luxomni 02:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC) List of crossings of the Schuylkill RiverWe seem to be stepping on each others toes between List of crossings of the Schuylkill River and Chestnut Street Bridge. I think I'll go watch some ball for a while or do some mindless "jack updating" over in WikiProject Ships for a while. Researching the 1958 replacement bridge my dad designed can wait. --J Clear 19:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC) {{Convert}}I reverted your additions of this template to List of largest suspension bridges. I have a couple of problems with it:
Otherwise, I could see how this template can be very helpful, and will look for occasions to use it. -- Samuel Wantman 04:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC) Changes to convertHello! I'm glad you're using {{convert}}.. I think it's quite a useful tool. I added a couple features, if you're interested: The ListGood work with The List. Where did you find the figures? I noticed while visiting census.gov that they had new est.pop. figures but the .csv-files on this address http://www.census.gov/popest/datasets.html didn't have the figures fixed in rows and columns so it would have been very time-demanding to use that source. What source did you use? Jack Daw 15:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
NOLA-stubHi - I see you have created a new stub type, NOLA-stub. As it clearly explains at WP:STUB, and at the top of most stub categories, all new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at WP:WSS/P, so that they can be checked for viability, and to make sure they don't go against either the stub category hierarchy or stub naming conventions. In the case of your new stub type, it was not proposed, and currently contains a mix of both geo-stubs (geographical locations) and general stubs about new orleans. Normally, these would get different stub categories from each other. Furthermore, the template name goes against standard stub template naming guidelines, as expained at WP:WSS/NG. The stub type has been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries - please make any comments as to the reasons for and possible population of this new stub type. Be warned that it will need to be renamed and may even be nominated for deletion via WP:SFD if it is deemed not to conform to normal stub type criteria. Please, in future, if you wish to create a new stub type, propose it first! Grutness...wha? 06:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
BarnstarEvery NO related talk page I look on to put the template up, its already there. Awesome job! Samwisep86 23:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
