WikiProject National Register of Historic Places Award | |
This award has been bestowed upon you, AgnosticPreachersKid by IvoShandor in recognition of quality content and stub creation for articles within the scope of WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. Keep up the excellent work. IvoShandor ( talk) 08:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC) |
I thought you had earned this. :) IvoShandor ( talk) 08:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, ive asked for the article to be unprotected, please stick on your watchlist, the flood gates with shortly open lol. Realist2 ( 'Come Speak To Me') 14:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm watching it also. Becks Talk to me 01:28, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Cheers, both, and thanx APK for reverting the last fan craft edits, my internet conection has been down all day. Realist2 ( 'Come Speak To Me') 19:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I will have a look at your entries on ANI and see what can be done. I've never blocked an IP range myself, so I'm not completely familiar with the process. ... discospinster talk 16:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Global Economicsand the extensive thread on ANI about it? Aleta Sing 03:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I had not seen your second thread. Anyway, Swatjester has said that he blocked the IP for two weeks. Aleta Sing 04:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Good call over the legal threat issue, stand your ground, well done. Realist2 ( 'Come Speak To Me') 04:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I dont understand why admins treat ips better than signed up users, i really dont. If i ever become an admin im gonna straighten things out. Realist2 ( 'Come Speak To Me') 04:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Don't I know it. I'm going slower tonight myself, trying to relax. Back to work tomorrow. Have a good night, hope you can get some sleep sometime. IvoShandor ( talk) 06:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
[1] Aleta Sing 01:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I really don't understand this one. It makes no sense. Becks Talk to me 01:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Here you go. APK yada yada 03:42, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey Jody, how is the house situation going? Hopefully better. And Aleta, if Becks's head and certain other body parts weren't attached, he would forget those as well. Becks often forgets his cell phone. BTW, Becks still does that, APK. Becks Talk to me 03:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
If Jody gets $10M, can we all move in with him? There should be enough room in the mansion, although with only 70 rooms, we will have to rough it. — Becks Talk to me 04:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Too bad none of those photos are commons licensed. The article needs a photo, so Becks tagged it. Nice place and Becks votes yes to NC. (Is it cool and/or dry there during the summer?) — 04:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
The insurance settled on the house itself, the full coverage so that was good. Still fighting over the contents. I'll be lucky to buy a double-wide and pay my car off but hey, this is Mississippi afterall so a double-wide wouldn't be out of the norm. - ✰ ALLSTAR✰ echo 06:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, thanks. I worked hard on that article. But it's not officially a DYK yet. I just need a responce from one of the admins first.-- RyRy5 ( talk ♠ wikify) 04:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Go for it. Maybe add the word "revitalized", as in the "revitalized historic district..." Aleta Sing 12:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
You know, you took your name off the project list, but you're a much more active member than most of the people who are on the active list. Official or not, it's good to have you as part of the project. Aleta Sing 23:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it's on the mainpage at this moment. :) -- RyRy5 ( talk ♠ Review) 01:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
"Homes were painted either red or white. Red homes were occupied by white workers and homes painted white were used for blacks and immigrants." No kidding?!!! Aleta Sing 01:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Argh, I feel like we've got way too much discussion of the Buddhism subset of the theology represented compared to everything else. But I'm not seeing a whole lot else. We can get maybe a sentence or two from the Pagan refs. But that's it. There's got to be a whole range of humanists, agnostics, liberal Christians, etc. that we're missing, but none of the refs talk about those. Even their own page doesn't talk about the diversity of theological belief that I'm pretty certain must exist there. Aleta Sing 02:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
This has come up a couple of times recently, with Pullen Memorial and now Eno River. I bet it's notable enough for an article. Would you be interested in another collaboration? Aleta Sing 04:05, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
How you durrin? I posted links to several Flickr creative commons photos of the the GPI on my subpage here at the top. If you have time, and since you have actually been there, please look at them and let me know which one looks best for the article. I'll upload it to commons and post it. I wanna see if you pick the one I picked. There are more on Flickr, but I got bored ( ADD, you know). Peace. — Becksguy ( talk) 05:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC) — PS, unless you would rather post it.
(ec):Thank you for doing that! I like this or this the most, but it's up to you. (I love the Fall season picture and I love going to the NC mountains during the Fall) Are you going to add more than one pic to the article? Like " View from the Grover Park Inn balcony." APK yada yada 05:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Good idea about a view from the balcony, APK, and I agree Aleta, the first one needs cropping. Should we also have a front view? All the best photos I found have been of the back, which is understandable, as that view is fantastic. We all three agreed on the fall colors one. I guess we shouldn't have more than three photos, as it's not a long enough article and would get overwhelmed. I only have time to place one photo today, I think, as I have to be at the church at the crack of noon. Security lady duty, you know, then going to Sunday church dinner (on a Monday) Ohh Lordy! — Becksguy ( talk) 05:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
If I make the photos small, I can't get it all in..... — Becksguy ( talk) 06:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
HA! I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about. — BTW, how do you set up your signature as APK. I keep doing copy/paste for mine, but that's bothersome, as in [[User:Becksguy|<b><font color="blue">'''Becks'''</font></b>]] [[User talk:Becksguy|<font><sup><small>'''Talk to me'''</small></sup></font>]]? — Becks Talk to me 06:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
<Becks hits himself on the forehead with the heal of his hand> Of course! Why didn't he think of that. And here himself was thinking of a user template and stuff. Oh well, learn something new every day. — Becks Talk to me 06:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Drat. None of the photos will upload to commons, so I have to do some checking before finishing this, but I have to get to bed now as it's 3:10 AM. — Becks Talk to me 07:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Well... I figured out the problem. A creative commons license isn't enough. They were CC-BY (CC with attribution), but also "no commercial use" and/or "no derivatives" and that makes them unacceptable for Wikipedia or commons. So if there is a dollar sign, or an equal sign under the photo, you can't upload it to Wiki. Drat. Double drat. Explicative deleted. The only photos I could find on Flickr that meet these impossible requirements are these, but none of them are really that good. Looksee and let me know. I suggest we place one of the best and I will continue to look, and maybe email the Inn (they have a press office) and ask them for a free photo released to commons for the article. Who knows, they might be willing. Or ask one of the Flicker sources to release on just CC-BY. There are other sources also, but they all take time to search. — Thanks for the tip, APK. — Becks Talk to me 21:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, APK. OK, finally got the special Flickr upload
tool to work. This automatically checks commons license, and ensures photo is legit, also so much easier to use. One photo included in the article, also included NRHP inforbox. Don't know how to get the registry number though. More to come. —

Hey, can you add me to the list to receive the NC newsletter? Mooch ass grassy ass. -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 05:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
A places-to-retire book talked about the J turn. Folks from the cold NE would retire to Florida, discover that it was very humid during the summer and/or that they didn't like the culture (or whatever), so they would turn around and come back half way up north to the Carolinas, especially inland or near the mountains. Makes sense. It's starting to look good to me also for retirement. BTW, check out the comment above on Grove Park Inn. Improved. Suggestion, APK: Why don't you reassess the article, since you are a member of the NC project. I think it's much better than a stub class. —
