Rats - I wanted to be the first here, oh well. ;-) I updated Snyder Middleswarth Natural Area's GNIS template, will work on it for DYK and update others too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I am surprised at the number of people who have nominated candidates and participated in feedback, but have not voted. If I had made voting mandatory, would it have kept you from nominating an article?-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTD) 17:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the congratulations (this is my first edit as an admin - hopefully I don't accidentally delete your talk or block you!)(formal thank you to follow). Anyway I found a nice source on birds and animals at Black Moshannon State Park here and thought you might find it useful. Snyder Middleswarth Natural Area is up for DYK and I think I can get it at least to GA and possibly FA. Would you mind taking a look (VerruckteDan already added a ref, but otherwise it has just been me working on it). Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) Sorry, I do not have any access to bots. I think there is a general bot task request page somewhere. As an admin I can (un)block users, (un)protect pages from being edited in various degrees, edit protected pages, (un)delete pages and images, and access a few pages not accessible to regular editors (the only one I know of so far is the unwatched pages). There is a School for New Admins, basically a series of test exercises. I want to run through all those before doing much other stuff. I think the rationale for the unwatched pages is that if anyone could view it, it would be a prime target for vandals. Apparently it is hard to make it available to editors with say 1000 edits and not everyone. Do you like the picture? It is grainy in the original too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 17:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
<font=3> Thanks for your support, my

I want to thank Snowolf and Dincher for nominating me, those who updated the RfA tally, and everyone for their support and many kind words. I will do my best to use the new tools carefully and responsibly (and since you are reading this, I haven't yet deleted your talk page by accident!). Please let me know if there is anything I can do to be of assistance, and keep an eye out for a little green fish with a mop on the road to an even better encyclopedia. Thanks again and take care, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC) |

Hello, I noticed that you have associated yourself with WikiProject North Carolina in one way or another and I wanted to say Hi. I have been doing a bit of work on the project and wanted to know if you were still interested. One of the major things that we need help with is article assessment. If you go to NC Article Grading and Ranking you will see that as of 12-25-2007 we have over 2,900 articles that are either unassessed and/or have not been tagged with importance. If you are interested in remaining a part of WikiProject North Carolina, please consider placing the userbox {{ User WikiProject North Carolina}} if you have not already done so that others will know that you are a part of this Project as well as ensuring that you are listed on the WP North Carolina Participants. If you are no longer interested in participating in the project, please strike through your name on the WP North Carolina Participant list and/or remove the WikiProject NC Userbox! If you have any questions, please let me know! Rob110178 ( talk) 22:54, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment on the Priestley House maps. I will try to fix the Liberty map locator dot next. I also plan to add townships to Tioga County pics I have on Commons. I may have a decent one of Wellsboro somewhere - would that be useful?
I have not forgotten the Black Mo or Worlds End maps. Worlds End is started at least. BLack Mo will have to be drawn partly by hand - looks as if the borders on the DCNR and PennDOT maps and the Census differ. Sigh.
The PHMC bookstore sells a map of PA county border development over time in their online bookstore. Seems a bit pricey. I may get it anyway. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
So glad you like it. I have a lot more pix to upload - will get some today, not sure if all will done before I call it a night. I am looking at the NRHP listing and the DCNR map to try and identify the various picnic shelters I have pictures of. I have pics of the dam, beach, beach house, various shelters and the former museum, plus lots of the lake and bog. Also plan on going back there in spring or summer to see the bog in bloom - very cool.
Thanks for weighing in on the map, version four, too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey do you happen to know what the official name for Heart's Content is? The US Forest Service calls it the "Heart's Content Recreation Area", DCNR calls it the "Heart's Content Scenic Area." Or should it stay at Heart's Content, Pennsylvania? -- Dtbohrer talk• contribs 03:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
This [4] seems to be the same McClure (Snyder County). Is this waht you wanted or should I contact them? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Hmmm. I thought I found it on Google Earth at these coordinates 40°47′14″N 76°52′13″W / 40.78722°N 76.87028°W but the USGS map at TopoZone labels that as the County Fairgrounds (I just found the racetrack). What I planned to do was find it on Google Earth, add the coords to the article, then check back on Google Earth to make sure the coords were right, then go to TopoZone to see where it is (for the borough or Twp. question). This is how I found the Larrys Creek Fish and Game Club lodge and helipad to fix their twps (in descriptions on Commons). Does this approach make sense? So if you can find it on Google Earth, I think this will work. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:06, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I emailed you about the orphans. Here is one reference from Meginness about Gregg Twp: Ch. 39. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I made Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad and nominated for DYK (started it Jan. 24).
"DYK ...that when the first portion of the Lackawanna and Bloomsburg Railroad opened in 1856, it led to the incorporation of Kingston, Pennsylvania, and to the establishment of the first public transit line in the Wyoming Valley?"
Would you mind looking it over? It was a redlink in Priestley House before. I rated it too - do those seem OK? One more red link to go. Thanks in advance, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:46, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Cool - it is one of those sites that used to be a state park perhaps. I looked at USGS GNIS and the only Pecks Pond in Pennsylvania is in Pike County here. From the PennDOT map, it looks like the southern half (where the picnic area and source of Bush Kill are) are in Porter Township. The northern half is in Grove Township.
Glad you like the Swedish article - I have a DYK nom in for it. I thought of trying something like ...that Carl Frederik von Breda, a Swedish potrait painter of Dutch ancestry who studied in England, has been compared to the Flemish van Dyck? (nationality soup) but I liked the other hook better. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I figure I will make a map for any FA or GA Pennsylvania state park (or any that are trying to get there seriously). It would only be 119, one map would suffice for Leonard Harrison and Colton Point, and maybe you could get away with one map for the Hyners (118). Maybe Gouldsboro and Tobyhanna could be one map too (117). There are others - Jennings and Moraine maybe (116), Poe Valley and Poe Paddy perhaps (115). Not sure about RB Winter, Sand Bridge and McCalls Dam - all the tiny ones are hard maps in a way. As for the Black Mo link, DCNR did give me the info, but it was an old email - I had to check my archive and it took a while (back when we were working on the list they had said the URL would change). It was tickling my brain, took me a while to find it. Glad you like the map, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Dinch, I tweaked another list and made List of municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania and {{ Sullivan County Pennsylvania Map}}. The list needs a fair amount of cleanup still, but I think the map is done - any feedback and edits appreciated as always, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) I think I am done - I added more on population changes since founding and caught a few more errors (Hillsgrove had the wrong date and wrong formed from, Laporte was congressman and has an article, etc.). The only thing I am not sure about is if we should note in the "Formed from" category "while in Lycoming County" or "while part of Lycoming County" for the seven twps that is true of. Do you want me to nominate it at Peer Review next? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 22:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I noticed you were trying to revert vandalism; I was doing the same at the same time. All the edits by Fritz56 were vandalism. Arosa ( talk) 02:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that you have edited David Shuster's bio and am wondering why no one has provided additional Internet related information about him. I have been reading a lot about him over the past two days and there is a lot of information circulating about his having made false statements about various issues. Is the Shuster page a vanity page? It certainly looks like it to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.18.66.59 ( talk) 15:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
The DYK rule now is expansion five-fold for an existing article (no longer have another restriction). Also, the hook has to be an inline citation / ref from a relaiable source. I pasted the text of the article into MS Word and got 658 characters with spaces, so get it to 3500 - 4000 charatcers of text and you are fine. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know what was going on, or if it was a problem on my side or yours, but there seemed to be a number of line breaks (in the wiki code) the entire length of the article which prevented links and templates from displaying properly, which I have now fixed. You seem to know what you're doing, but I'm wondering what could have caused this. Good article btw. - Oreo Priest 18:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) My understanding is that since the lead is a summary of the whole article and the article is referenced, the lead does not need references with a couple of exceptions. The exceptions are direct quotations, which must always be cited, and "extraordinary claims", which also get a reference. Larrys Creek used to have fewer refs in the lead and more got added in to prepare it for being WP:TFA. I will look at the article a bit later and get back to you Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations (for the record, someone else added it to the Next Update section, I just copied that to the Main Page, but very well-deserved)! Ruhrfisch ><>°° 05:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Awesome expansion of the article, Dincher, very well done! — Athaenara ✉ 08:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
It has four keeps and no deletes so I think it is safe for now - I will try to add some to it too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the formed from links on the Lycoming County list. Things are looking good elsewhere. I am trying to think of a hook for Frederic A. Godcharles - I need to finish the article too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I fixed it - thanks so much for catching the error! It was that way on the Census map I took it from here. You may have to WP:BYC to see it Image:Map of Juniata County Pennsylvania With Municipal and Township Labels.png Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I checked and updated all the external links in Larrys Creek, split the Meginness refs up by chapter, moved the discharge into its own subsection in the Course section (from Geology), and expanded Geology with the named mountains and some info on the Marcellus shale.

I pasted the text of the article into MS Word and got 658 characters with spaces, so get it to 3500 - 4000 charatcers of text and you are fine. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know what was going on, or if it was a problem on my side or yours, but there seemed to be a number of line breaks (in the wiki code) the entire length of the article which prevented links and templates from displaying properly, which I have now fixed. You seem to know what you're doing, but I'm wondering what could have caused this. Good article btw. - Oreo Priest 18:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) My understanding is that since the lead is a summary of the whole article and the article is referenced, the lead does not need references with a couple of exceptions. The exceptions are direct quotations, which must always be cited, and "extraordinary claims", which also get a reference. Larrys Creek used to have fewer refs in the lead and more got added in to prepare it for being WP:TFA. I will look at the article a bit later and get back to you Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations (for the record, someone else added it to the Next Update section, I just copied that to the Main Page, but very well-deserved)! Ruhrfisch ><>°° 05:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Awesome expansion of the article, Dincher, very well done! — Athaenara ✉ 08:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
It has four keeps and no deletes so I think it is safe for now - I will try to add some to it too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the formed from links on the Lycoming County list. Things are looking good elsewhere. I am trying to think of a hook for Frederic A. Godcharles - I need to finish the article too. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I fixed it - thanks so much for catching the error! It was that way on the Census map I took it from here. You may have to WP:BYC to see it Image:Map of Juniata County Pennsylvania With Municipal and Township Labels.png Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I checked and updated all the external links in Larrys Creek, split the Meginness refs up by chapter, moved the discharge into its own subsection in the Course section (from Geology), and expanded Geology with the named mountains and some info on the Marcellus shale. Would you mind looking it over to make sure it reads OK and there are no goofy errors? Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 18:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
