Dincher, you asked me to reminded you about looking at the Virginia article and its peer review today, and I know Saturday is almost gone, but if you have some time, that would be most cool. Thanks again!-- Patrick «» 01:39, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I was looking at the policies for Wikipedia, and got concerned because I forgot to register my e-mail on my user name and forgot the password to an account. When I realised this I went and created my next account(in other words this is my third account). Is there anyway in which those accounts could be deleted (they are BKBOT (Mohilccs), BKLC11). I wanted to bring this to your attention because i did not want to be accused of "sock puppetry." Thanks BK2011 ( talk) 15:54, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for adding county names! I've been seriously distracted lately, as last weekend was my college graduation, so no help for you from me lately.
As far as which ones I've completed: sorry I don't remember. Perhaps you could look at the county templates' histories, since I change the links when I move the pages. Have you done that for these counties? Nyttend ( talk) 02:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) Thought I'd let you know that Erie County is done, except for
Lawrence Park, Pennsylvania (which, because its a 1st class township, I believe is a special case). Also with the highway articles, if the township is in a |location=
, the township can be manually added with a |location_special=

Thanks for editing the Smithton photo. It looks great. I am new to Wikipedia. Jmz1902 ( talk) 19:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC) I am doing a project for school. I just wanted to know why exactly you modified the photo. For the school project I have to discuss with the editors of Wikipedia. Thanks a lot. Jmz1902 ( talk) 11:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

The expansion is based on size of the text only (not refs and infobox and other code). There is a tool for checking this - I will aks someone to find the start size and current size. I have some things to add too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
(out) Thanks - this is nowhere near ready for GA or PR (let alone FAC). The lead is usually the last thing we adjust, to make sure it is an accurate summary of the rest of the article. While I like your hook, the sources are not specific enough to let us know where the iron furnace and sawmill were, just that they were on Upper Pine Bottom Run somewhere, not specifically in what is now the park.

Dincher, per your edit summary here, you can contribute in 2010, the Bacon Challenge 2010 is already up and running. The DYKers weren't too supportive of a one-off Bacon DYK so the hooks were diluted, over a few days. The 2010 Challenge is timed to arrive with National Pig Day so that all the hooks are uploaded together. I expect to see you signing up and contributing!

Greetings, Dincher. I'm interested in creating a page on the Sulgrave club in the District of Columbia, in Washington D.C. I have a sketch of the article worked out in my sandbox, but I'm not sure it's ready for creation yet. As you are in the WikiProject related to National Register of Historic Places, I was hoping you could help me; if there are any tweaks or fixings you think could be done to improve the page so it is its best before creation, I'd appreciate the information. Thanks! Mess around with the guy in shades all you like - don't mess around with the girl in gloves! ( talk) 00:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I weighed in on the talk page - I think it is worth a sentence, since it is referenced to the newspaper article, but not its own section. Facebook is not a RS either.
I was going to try and get Upper Pine Bottom done for GAN in the next few days, then turn to Hyner View. Do you think that we should put UPB up for a peer review before GAN? Except for PR, I have also been in a bit of a slump here. I should have a few new pictures to upload soon. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:16, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
A few months back, you kindly did a peer review of the article on Virginia. Since then, I've taken your advice to heart and made numerous changes in preparation for today, when I re-nominated the article for FAC. I'd love to have you look over the article again to see if there's anything we can improve on yet. And if you had an opinion on it, please feel free to share it at WP:FAC#Virginia.

Sure. Gotta run, spaghetti and meatballs are on the table! Dincher ( talk) 22:17, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Glad you like it - I need to slightly expand the Class B campground section based on the 1925 book, and add in a bit about the CCC and the two CCC camps in the area (Little Pine and Haneyville). Need to look at the two history books again (there is something in Forrey but I need to reread it). I found a new source too here which might seem familiar ;-) Also need to add some on Ecology and recreation in a new section.
I keep meaning to ask you - I was not going to make a map for this (UPBSP) as it is so small and there are almost no details to show in a map. I think Hyner View might not need a map either (also very small and almost no facilities to show). Neither has an official DCNR map either. Hyner Run will need a map, as do the rest of the 20 must see that I can think of. WHat do you think? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Nice set of pictures on Commons of Mont Alto State Park - sorry about Penn State's loss. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
I am pretty sure it is in Swatara State Park - the NRHP form for the bridge describes the bridge being dismantled and moved there and the overall multiple property submission for the Penn DOT bridges also mentions that they double checked with the NRHP to make sure the bridge was still eligible. My strong feeling is that with all that they would also make sure to include a current picture of the bridge (i.e. in Swatara State Park, not in Waterville).
Hold on - I went to look on Flickr and found that the bridge is on the HAER too - there are lots of free photos of it in Swatara State Park here, including this very nice one in color here. I will upload that to Commons next. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:16, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
It's a misconception, thought to be common knowledge that Wikipedia is not the place for opinions. What is disallowed is original research or any sort of biased opinion. If an opinion has any sort of merit or there is a citation for it, it is valid in Wikipedia as long as it is shown to be a popular opinion. For example, you will find a lot of opinions cited in the Global Warming article. I know you meant well, I just thought I'd point that out to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.46.34 ( talk) 06:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I found a new source that lists the area of each state park as of 2007 here. There are some discrepancies (Hyner View isl isted as 40 acres, the website for the park says 6), but it lists every park and also gives the size of lakes and swimming pools. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 13:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
