First, I want to thank you for adding the high school information to my page. You edited "Cat Bauer" and left a reference. I am trying to format it the same way you did, but I can't figure out how to do it. I am just beginning with Wikipedia, so I will appreciate any help you can give me.

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Delone Catholic High School. Please stop being uncivil to your fellow editors; instead, assume that they are here to improve Wikipedia. (regarding this diff) Orderinchaos 05:32, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
that the first order of advice given to those subjected to personal attacks is to simply ignore it. By deleting it over and over again, you are adding fuel to the fire. You are in fact the subject of an RFC, so you can't hide it. But the rambling editorializing that follows the mention of that is complete nonsense. Stick to commenting on the issue at hand.

Hi, you seem to have changed W.S. Pennington's membership in New Jersey State Council in 1801-1802 to membership in the New Jersey Senate. Is this because the State Council was the Senate in that period of time (I don't know about New Jersey but in some other states it's a totally different organ, in Massachusetts it's known as the governor's council)? The NGA biography states that he was a member of the State Council (no mention of NJ Senate service) and virtualology states his membership in the NJ Assembly but does not mention a membership in the state senate. 128.214.205.4 08:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Dear Alan,
Just to let you know that I have made a contribution to the RfC discussion that is currently going on. I hope you'll find time to look at it; if you've noticed my absence from schools debates over the past few months, this may explain why...
Sincerely,

Thanks for uploading Image:Amy_Handlin.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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.

Hi Alansohn,
Thank you for alerting me to the deletion review. I was really shocked at the way the discussion was closed. I've redone the Goetz school article on my user pages and made some other comments at the bottom of the deletion-review discussion. I'm asking editors to comment on the changes I've made because they represent a new development, one I think we can form a pretty wide consensus around. I think the article as I've redone it meets the objections of many editors, and it certainly meets WP:V. Please take a look, but I think this deletion review will close today or early tomorrow, so please don't delay, act now and take advantage of this limited-time offer!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Charles_T._Epps_Jr.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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.

The New York Times scrapbook history of baseball, a 1980 book, shows the article "Young's Famous Career", right after the game writeup, both dated July 1, 1908. The main article on the game is headlined "No Hits for Yankees off Veteran Young". It says "Yankees" or "Yanks" several times in the article. No "Highlanders". Both articles also call "Hilltop Park" by its formal name, "the American League Park" (capitalization exactly as shown here). The point of all this is to chip away at the notion that "Yankees" just magically appeared as a nickname overnight. In fact, its usage as a nickname is about as old as "Highlanders" was. The more intriguing question is, at what point did the New York American Leaguers fully embrace the nickname "Yankees"? I have yet to find an answer to that question. I'm not convinced it was 1913, although it could have been. The key would be to find some documentation of the matter, such as the club referring to itself as the "Yankees" somewhere along the way. I'm starting to wonder if a separate article about baseball team nicknames would be called for, as opposed to putting all that minutia into the individual team articles. A lot of the documentation of "Highlanders" vs. "Yankees" was rubbed out by an editor recently, in an effort to trim down the New York Yankees article. An article specifically about nicknames would have a little more latitude. P.S. Just as intriguing, maybe, is that the article in question consistently referred to the Boston team as "Boston". No "Red Sox", no "Beaneaters", no "Pilgrims", no nothin'. Just "Boston". Baseball Bugs 14:21, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Alansohn, I realized that a lot of people who look for H. Browning Ross will search for "Browning Ross" instead, because that's what most people called him and few actually know his first name of Harris. I was wondering if you could set up a new wikipedia page entitled "Browning Ross" and then have it automatically redirect to "H. Browning Ross". Thanks! -Jrcla2

In fact, I've barely ever been to Long Island. I am very interested in how articles are categorized within counties, though. I did a lot of work on that in Connecticut, and I wanted to extend some of the things I thought were useful there to somewhere else, and the categories for Nassau and Suffolk really were grab bags. I want them to look a bit more like Category:Fairfield County, Connecticut. I need to be much more careful, however, because I think articles should be categorized by local community (if there are enough for a local community category) as well as by subject. This allows people interested in their community to browse for articles about various things in it, or to research and find something quickly when they know it's in a particular community. I'm a little reluctant to be making some of those decisions though when I don't know enough about how people look at towns. Some of the Long Island towns are enormous themselves, so I wonder how useful those categories are. I tend to be pretty inclusionist when it comes to categories: Even small ones, I think, are useful (to an extent, I don't think a three- or four-article category is terribly useful. I hate to have an article in just a subject category, even if it's a subject within a county ("Transportation in Nassau County" or "Education in Nassau County", for instance). I think articles can become too difficult to find if that's the only subcategory of a county that they're in.
If you want to see categories that are super organized (and actually, I think, a bit too organized to the point where they're not as useful), check out Category:New York City and subcategories like Category:Manhattan. I think major institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art should be in the Manhattan category (maybe it is, I need to check), simply because a lot of people would be interested in it.
How's that for a long-winded explanation. If the topic interests you, take a look at the explanation I wrote at the talk page for Category:Fairfield County, Connecticut. Cheers, Noroton 02:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice on Wiki edits. However your modification un-designating PCHS as a parochial school is incorrect. In fact Phillipsburg Parochial was the name of the school from 1923 to 1961. A parochial school defined by Wiki is a parish school and that is what PPHS AND PCHS were. I am a 1968 graduate and played on the 1967 Delaware River Conference championship team with Tom Brennan.-- Thomaskorp.

Oh, thanks. That was actually my first shot at it; D Monack came in later and made some changes I disagree with in content and formatting, but whatever. The main source I used was the Clerk's office. It's pretty good, though it doesn't go back far enough in time for some of the more historical elections, and is only for Congress. More mature versions of this table can be seen at Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, if you want to have a few more examples handy. As for the percentages, I just wrote a Python script to calculate 'em based on the vote counts to be sure, and rounded to the nearest percentage point since random people tend to be bad at decimals. Since the 2006 results aren't up yet, I used CNN or other sources for 2006 elections.
I was actually meaning to post about this very topic over at WP:USC and ask for any community comment on it. This is partly because learning the whole party color shading things was slightly tricky (And some articles don't use them, like Robert Byrd for example) and I figured that was good to popularize, and also because another editor didn't like the horizontal scrollbar that appears when there's lots of third party candidates (at John McCain). Also, I've been leaving primaries off, but for some candidates, the primaries are way more interesting than the general... but including primaries also dulls the focus, so it's tricky. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to offer my own personal opinions, though ideally there should eventually be a standardized "here's how to do a single election" and "here's how to do a table of multiple elections."
And oh yes. I'm behind on it, but I've been meaning to post the results table for Hughes' successor Lobiondo for some time, then put the combined table on the 2nd District page. That seems reasonable to me. SnowFire 02:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Alanshon,
On the Asbury Park page regarding "notable residents", I added Edna Woolman Chase, with a link to an external source that showed she was born in Asbury Park. You changed the link to a Wiki page that does not mention Asbury Park.
Why is your link preferable to mine? Just trying to learn the ropes. Thanks. -- Justified Right 14:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah I understand what you mean I think. I'll try and watch out for that in the future. -Jrcla2
Hi - I noticed you removed Josh Thurman from North Hunterdon High School's list of notable alumni. I understand your concern, and I attempted to edit it accordingly. Thurman was a distinguished athlete despite being diagnosed with leukemia in high school. Many schools and organizations sought him to lecture before he passed away. Josh Thurman is a true inspiration to many NHHS students and young people alike - I'd like to think Wikipedia considers him noteworthy as well. Thank you.
Mercedes had been changing the formatting and I had been telling her to STOP. If she does not stop, she should be blocked for vandalism (She never explained her changes on a talk page and made no attempt to discuss her edits). WhisperToMe 05:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but I would think that she would be seeing the orange screens saying "You have a new message" and at least pay attention to them. WhisperToMe 05:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
I have removed these and the matter is resolved pending more formal processes, I have also advised the other person not to make any further comments out side of any formal process. Hopefully this will at least let editors work on improving articles. Gnan garra 11:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.
Regards,

Hi. I'm curious about why you changed "summer" back to "summer months" in Margate, New Jersey. What's the advantage of "months"?
To give you the context, I came to this article when I was suggesting a policy against "summer months" and "winter months" at MOS talk. While citing examples of what I want to see deprecated, I felt that as a good citizen I should fix them. ("Fix" in my opinion, of course.)

Hope things are going well for you. Have not run into you around here for a while. I've been pre-occupied with vandals. Regards, Accurizer 00:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jim_Whelan.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Ive been doing alot of updates recently to the Template:New_York_City_DOE as well as the region pages, the DOE's page, and the school district pages.
Any advice for a better stub to have on every page? Maybe look at my changes to see if they are ok. The regions throw me off becuase of the school listings. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Guyver8400 ( talk • contribs) 15:17, August 23, 2007 (UTC).

First of all, you need to remember to sign your posts. The IEEE is a fairly notable organization that has a number of fairly notable subgroupings, programs and awards. This article -- which apparently is the most egregious you could come up with -- is at best a candidate for a prod tag. I have defended THIS. The problem is that you need to defend each and every deletion made as part of your CSD spree. I await your explanation. Alansohn 06:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alan,
I noticed that you've spoken to Nascentatheist on the Kearny High School (San Diego) talk page. He has been ranting and raving, saying I'm Jason Gastrich, apparently because I disagreed with him about that Kearny Soccer link on the Kearny article page. It's hard to believe someone could act so fanatical, especially because I've been a solid contributor to Wikipedia. Can you post a comment on his talk page and ask him to quit harassing me? If he won't heed your request (although I hope he will), then I can file a Request For Comment. -- Creashin 06:16, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you 100% about getting rid of the New Jersey maps; they're too big, they're not relevant and they provide no context in these article. I would suggest keeping the county maps for Hudson until we can come up with better maps for each municipality. It's always good to see you back in the old neighborhood, even if it's just to edit. Alansohn 04:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
You've replaced the reference box, I believe twice, for Mr. Crestillo. Why? It looks nice; and there's nothing controversial with it. I do give you a high five for the other reformatting of the references. Cheers, Dogru144 02:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I have inserted notability reference. As for documenting graduation from high school, I find it hard to believe you are serious. Graduation from the school is what makes one alumni. It's absurd to expect documentation from "newspapers, magazines or books" for high school graduation. Would you like me to cite the 1965 yearbook? ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pupluv ( talk • contribs) 07:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I read your comments. They are unconvincing. The notability standard you apply is inappropriate. The appropriate standard is of High School alumni not professors. Further, since I know you did not consult the Journal of Juvenile Law which I cited as a reference, you cannot claim that references for notability are lacking. Finally, nothing David Null ever published or has been published about David Null cites his high school. Those who have multiple univtsity degrees and are faculty at major universities are not likely to be identified by their high schools. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pupluv ( talk • contribs) 09:44, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

A {{

Belvidere Cemetery, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if
consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{

Your efforts at bullying regarding edits made to the Lizzie Grubman article need to stop immediately. You know full well that there has been no policy violation whatsoever in the edits you falsely claim violate some imaginary policy. The fact that all you can do in response to a specific request to point to the policy violation is to repeat the same nonsense in bold demonstrates that you couldn't even find one genuine Wikipedia policy that has any relevance here, let alone a "violation". If you actually feel that these edits violate any Wikipedia policy whatsoever, I implore you to follow through on your empty, meaningless threats immediately and take whatever action that you feel you need to do to "bring this to wider notice", and do so as quickly as possible. As the expression goes, "put up or shut up." Alansohn 13:33, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your work. Not many people know about the founder of JDEdwards, Ed McVaney so I wanted to bring that information to the public eye. SimonATL 21:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
You indicated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helicopter Shark that you supported the article, but did not enter an explicit !vote on the AfD page, either delete or keep. As your comments appear to be only a comment, and not a !vote, they may be discounted or ignored by a closing administrator. Let me know if I can help with anything regarding this article. Alansohn 05:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
The Warren Hills High School article received heavy editing today by new/unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes.

By the way, have you checked out Google News Archives? Even following the links to the descriptions of the articles they're selling can provide WP:N information. I also found that my library card gets me access to some Web resources through my library Web site. It's becoming a lot easier to establish notability nowadays. As much fun as I find it, there is a limit to how many of these saves I'll do, however. Noroton 02:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chris Conley. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

It is time for you to drop your vendetta against Guy/JzG. There is no need for personal attacks and incivility such as that demonstrated previously on your talk page, at WP:AN/I, and again today at deletion review. You can make more effective arguments in deletion fora, such as DRV, if you ignore personalities and focus on the merits, or lack thereof, of a given article.
I've seen this trend of behavior from you before, with different users on the other side of the dispute, and you need to learn to stop this pattern of behavior if you are going to remain an editor in good standing. Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Alansohn demonstrated a community consensus that you have a problem with this pattern of behavior. A few weeks ago at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents we nearly decided ( final comment in the discussion) that we should open an Arbitration Case about your behavior. If you don't learn to moderate yourself, we will have to open one, possibly leading to a loss of editing privileges. GRBerry 21:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

that the first order of advice given to those subjected to personal attacks is to simply ignore it. By deleting it over and over again, you are adding fuel to the fire.

Hi, you seem to have changed W.S. Pennington's membership in New Jersey State Council in 1801-1802 to membership in the New Jersey Senate. Is this because the State Council was the Senate in that period of time (I don't know about New Jersey but in some other states it's a totally different organ, in Massachusetts it's known as the governor's council)? The NGA biography states that he was a member of the State Council (no mention of NJ Senate service) and virtualology states his membership in the NJ Assembly but does not mention a membership in the state senate. 128.214.205.4 08:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Amy_Handlin.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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.

Hi Alansohn,
Thank you for alerting me to the deletion review. I was really shocked at the way the discussion was closed. I've redone the Goetz school article on my user pages and made some other comments at the bottom of the deletion-review discussion. I'm asking editors to comment on the changes I've made because they represent a new development, one I think we can form a pretty wide consensus around. I think the article as I've redone it meets the objections of many editors, and it certainly meets WP:V. Please take a look, but I think this deletion review will close today or early tomorrow, so please don't delay, act now and take advantage of this limited-time offer! Noroton 17:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Charles_T._Epps_Jr.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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.

The New York Times scrapbook history of baseball, a 1980 book, shows the article "Young's Famous Career", right after the game writeup, both dated July 1, 1908. The main article on the game is headlined "No Hits for Yankees off Veteran Young". It says "Yankees" or "Yanks" several times in the article. No "Highlanders". Both articles also call "Hilltop Park" by its formal name, "the American League Park" (capitalization exactly as shown here). The point of all this is to chip away at the notion that "Yankees" just magically appeared as a nickname overnight. In fact, its usage as a nickname is about as old as "Highlanders" was. The more intriguing question is, at what point did the New York American Leaguers fully embrace the nickname "Yankees"? I have yet to find an answer to that question. I'm not convinced it was 1913, although it could have been. The key would be to find some documentation of the matter, such as the club referring to itself as the "Yankees" somewhere along the way. I'm starting to wonder if a separate article about baseball team nicknames would be called for, as opposed to putting all that minutia into the individual team articles. A lot of the documentation of "Highlanders" vs. "Yankees" was rubbed out by an editor recently, in an effort to trim down the New York Yankees article. An article specifically about nicknames would have a little more latitude. P.S. Just as intriguing, maybe, is that the article in question consistently referred to the Boston team as "Boston". No "Red Sox", no "Beaneaters", no "Pilgrims", no nothin'. Just "Boston". Baseball Bugs 14:21, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Alansohn, I realized that a lot of people who look for H. Browning Ross will search for "Browning Ross" instead, because that's what most people called him and few actually know his first name of Harris. I was wondering if you could set up a new wikipedia page entitled "Browning Ross" and then have it automatically redirect to "H. Browning Ross". Thanks! -Jrcla2
Hi! I know you and I are usually on opposing ends when it comes to notability for lower than high-school level, but we agree when it comes to high schools. Please put your two cents in at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Granada Undivided High School. Thanks, Chris 00:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
In fact, I've barely ever been to Long Island. I am very interested in how articles are categorized within counties, though. I did a lot of work on that in Connecticut, and I wanted to extend some of the things I thought were useful there to somewhere else, and the categories for Nassau and Suffolk really were grab bags. I want them to look a bit more like Category:Fairfield County, Connecticut. I need to be much more careful, however, because I think articles should be categorized by local community (if there are enough for a local community category) as well as by subject. This allows people interested in their community to browse for articles about various things in it, or to research and find something quickly when they know it's in a particular community. I'm a little reluctant to be making some of those decisions though when I don't know enough about how people look at towns. Some of the Long Island towns are enormous themselves, so I wonder how useful those categories are. I tend to be pretty inclusionist when it comes to categories: Even small ones, I think, are useful (to an extent, I don't think a three- or four-article category is terribly useful. I hate to have an article in just a subject category, even if it's a subject within a county ("Transportation in Nassau County" or "Education in Nassau County", for instance). I think articles can become too difficult to find if that's the only subcategory of a county that they're in.
If you want to see categories that are super organized (and actually, I think, a bit too organized to the point where they're not as useful), check out Category:New York City and subcategories like Category:Manhattan. I think major institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art should be in the Manhattan category (maybe it is, I need to check), simply because a lot of people would be interested in it.
How's that for a long-winded explanation. If the topic interests you, take a look at the explanation I wrote at the talk page for Category:Fairfield County, Connecticut. Cheers, Noroton 02:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice on Wiki edits. However your modification un-designating PCHS as a parochial school is incorrect. In fact Phillipsburg Parochial was the name of the school from 1923 to 1961. A parochial school defined by Wiki is a parish school and that is what PPHS AND PCHS were. I am a 1968 graduate and played on the 1967 Delaware River Conference championship team with Tom Brennan.-- Thomaskorp.
You participated in the first AFD, so you may be interested in the second AFD over the recreated article. THF 12:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh, thanks. That was actually my first shot at it; D Monack came in later and made some changes I disagree with in content and formatting, but whatever. The main source I used was the Clerk's office. It's pretty good, though it doesn't go back far enough in time for some of the more historical elections, and is only for Congress. More mature versions of this table can be seen at Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, if you want to have a few more examples handy. As for the percentages, I just wrote a Python script to calculate 'em based on the vote counts to be sure, and rounded to the nearest percentage point since random people tend to be bad at decimals. Since the 2006 results aren't up yet, I used CNN or other sources for 2006 elections.
I was actually meaning to post about this very topic over at WP:USC and ask for any community comment on it. This is partly because learning the whole party color shading things was slightly tricky (And some articles don't use them, like Robert Byrd for example) and I figured that was good to popularize, and also because another editor didn't like the horizontal scrollbar that appears when there's lots of third party candidates (at John McCain). Also, I've been leaving primaries off, but for some candidates, the primaries are way more interesting than the general... but including primaries also dulls the focus, so it's tricky. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to offer my own personal opinions, though ideally there should eventually be a standardized "here's how to do a single election" and "here's how to do a table of multiple elections."
And oh yes. I'm behind on it, but I've been meaning to post the results table for Hughes' successor Lobiondo for some time, then put the combined table on the 2nd District page. That seems reasonable to me. SnowFire 02:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Alanshon,
On the Asbury Park page regarding "notable residents", I added Edna Woolman Chase, with a link to an external source that showed she was born in Asbury Park. You changed the link to a Wiki page that does not mention Asbury Park.
Why is your link preferable to mine? Just trying to learn the ropes. Thanks. -- Justified Right 14:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah I understand what you mean I think. I'll try and watch out for that in the future. -Jrcla2
Hi - I noticed you removed Josh Thurman from North Hunterdon High School's list of notable alumni. I understand your concern, and I attempted to edit it accordingly. Thurman was a distinguished athlete despite being diagnosed with leukemia in high school. Many schools and organizations sought him to lecture before he passed away. Josh Thurman is a true inspiration to many NHHS students and young people alike - I'd like to think Wikipedia considers him noteworthy as well. Thank you.
Mercedes had been changing the formatting and I had been telling her to STOP. If she does not stop, she should be blocked for vandalism (She never explained her changes on a talk page and made no attempt to discuss her edits). WhisperToMe 05:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but I would think that she would be seeing the orange screens saying "You have a new message" and at least pay attention to them. WhisperToMe 05:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
I have removed these and the matter is resolved pending more formal processes, I have also advised the other person not to make any further comments out side of any formal process. Hopefully this will at least let editors work on improving articles. Gnan garra 11:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.
Regards,

Hi. I'm curious about why you changed "summer" back to "summer months" in Margate, New Jersey. What's the advantage of "months"?
To give you the context, I came to this article when I was suggesting a policy against "summer months" and "winter months" at MOS talk. While citing examples of what I want to see deprecated, I felt that as a good citizen I should fix them. ("Fix" in my opinion, of course.) That's why I asked the question above. — JerryFriedman 00:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:West Essex Knight.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jim_Whelan.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

First of all, you need to remember to sign your posts. The IEEE is a fairly notable organization that has a number of fairly notable subgroupings, programs and awards. This article -- which apparently is the most egregious you could come up with -- is at best a candidate for a prod tag. I have defended THIS. The problem is that you need to defend each and every deletion made as part of your CSD spree. I await your explanation. Alansohn 06:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Alan,
I noticed that you've spoken to Nascentatheist on the Kearny High School (San Diego) talk page. He has been ranting and raving, saying I'm Jason Gastrich, apparently because I disagreed with him about that Kearny Soccer link on the Kearny article page. It's hard to believe someone could act so fanatical, especially because I've been a solid contributor to Wikipedia. Can you post a comment on his talk page and ask him to quit harassing me? If he won't heed your request (although I hope he will), then I can file a Request For Comment. -- Creashin 06:16, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you 100% about getting rid of the New Jersey maps; they're too big, they're not relevant and they provide no context in these article. I would suggest keeping the county maps for Hudson until we can come up with better maps for each municipality. It's always good to see you back in the old neighborhood, even if it's just to edit.

I have inserted notability reference. As for documenting graduation from high school, I find it hard to believe you are serious. Graduation from the school is what makes one alumni. It's absurd to expect documentation from "newspapers, magazines or books" for high school graduation. Would you like me to cite the 1965 yearbook? ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pupluv ( talk • contribs) 07:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I read your comments. They are unconvincing. The notability standard you apply is inappropriate. The appropriate standard is of High School alumni not professors. Further, since I know you did not consult the Journal of Juvenile Law which I cited as a reference, you cannot claim that references for notability are lacking. Finally, nothing David Null ever published or has been published about David Null cites his high school. Those who have multiple univtsity degrees and are faculty at major universities are not likely to be identified by their high schools. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pupluv ( talk • contribs) 09:44, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Your efforts at bullying regarding edits made to the Lizzie Grubman article need to stop immediately. You know full well that there has been no policy violation whatsoever in the edits you falsely claim violate some imaginary policy. The fact that all you can do in response to a specific request to point to the policy violation is to repeat the same nonsense in bold demonstrates that you couldn't even find one genuine Wikipedia policy that has any relevance here, let alone a "violation". If you actually feel that these edits violate any Wikipedia policy whatsoever, I implore you to follow through on your empty, meaningless threats immediately and take whatever action that you feel you need to do to "bring this to wider notice", and do so as quickly as possible.

It is time for you to drop your vendetta against Guy/JzG. There is no need for personal attacks and incivility such as that demonstrated previously on your talk page, at WP:AN/I, and again today at deletion review. You can make more effective arguments in deletion fora, such as DRV, if you ignore personalities and focus on the merits, or lack thereof, of a given article.
I've seen this trend of behavior from you before, with different users on the other side of the dispute, and you need to learn to stop this pattern of behavior if you are going to remain an editor in good standing. Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Alansohn demonstrated a community consensus that you have a problem with this pattern of behavior. A few weeks ago at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents we nearly decided ( final comment in the discussion) that we should open an Arbitration Case about your behavior. If you don't learn to moderate yourself, we will have to open one, possibly leading to a loss of editing privileges. GRBerry 21:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I decided to be bold and speedy restored it, based on the way the page looked. Please make sure its OK--I dont want to contribute one way or other to anything personal. . DGG ( talk) 21:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
In reviewing articles, please be alert for pages that appear to be copied from another web site--especially when it is the external link. For Family Promise, I reduced it to an initial descriptive paragraph and left a note for the author. Most admins would probably just have deleted it, but I thought it was clearly important. You might want to take a look at WP:BFAQ, a very useful page to inform authors of how to handle such material. DGG ( talk) 03:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thomas_P._Giblin.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 12:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
