Hm, interesting points. I'm not really an expert on the issue, but maybe it means the first settlement outside what is today the borders of the 13 colonies? But even that seems crazy, I'm sure somebody settled in West Virginia or something before that. Maybe ask at the Tennessee and North Carolina wikiprojects? -- AW ( talk) 04:48, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Please be more sparing in your application of speedy tags for advertising. The article about last September's NYFW is actually about one of the most important events in fashion (no less, than say the 2008 golden globes is in film), which you could have found if you clicked through to the general article about New York Fashion Week. The article contained no advertising language and was simply a list of designers. The db-ad tag is supposed to be used where there's no question that something is an ad, and it should be sparingly applied especially because we don't want to bite the newbies.

I'm just working on it.I agreed with user Bosniak to do the artice,because there are some journalists that continue to deny the Genocide. This artice is ment to let people know that those kind of sick people exist.And that the have some marginal support. In the article i want to point out that there is apsolutly no doubt that it didn't happen.
I'm sourcing it as we speak. I just need a little time because i'm doing my first article ok???--(GriffinSB) (talk) 03:15, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
No,i didn't try to attack them.On the articles about those people that denial is mentioned as well. Now the article is gone and so are 2 and a half hours of work:((( I was going to post 20+ sources

Dear Sir,
I m really surprised by the deletion process you started, The rule is that companies appears in companies categories the page i created is informative and describe the activity of a Brand, you can find exactly the same kind of companies listed in wikipedia such as L'occitane, Darty, Celio.... (all having their HQ in France)
If you think I should make some changes on the page, I will be glad to do it
This page is for sure not a Major important page for wikipedia, but I m sure you know that there is lot of non major articles in an encyclopedia, and even more in wikipedia
This Page , in its french version, has been granted in the french version of wikipedia,
Sincerely yours

The article is clearly an ad and includes text as such. It is unfortunate that it was included in the French version because that means the editors missed it. It contains the following text...
Yes, you re right, actually, i should have make the text myself , as more informative, instead of using an existing text, mea culpa, I will submit you a revised version, also, could you explain me the presence of the quoted brands then?
I m just a fan of this brand which I ve been buying from since 13 years and I dont see why it should be less represented than others....
Sincerely yours Jill

Actually, if you visit Celio and check the page history from the beginning, you will see that it was tagged for speedy deletion and went through this process.It may be enlightening to you to go back through and study the edits and how the article transformed. The article is very poorly written, however it isn't an ad, so at least it gets to stay on Wikipedia for the time being. If I, or any other Wikipedia editor, find advertising then we tag it, new or not. Wikipedia tries to be fair.
The other two articles have edits from the beginning that are also worth noting..no ad texts.
You could try improving the Celio article..English usage & grammar could definitely be improved there. Cheers Berean Hunter ( talk) 16:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I took a look at the new article. There's at least an assertion of notability, so I don't think it's eligible for speedy deletion right now. However, I also don't think it's notable, so I've proposed deletion of the article. Thanks for letting me know it was recreated. — C.Fred ( talk) 17:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
122.160.223.55 ( talk) 07:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)I created the article bit informative and added few online reference.
I was just able to glean enough from some of the Spanish-language links to at least agree the salient point, that she's a poet. At this point, I think the article needs expansion, but it is a viable stub at this point. — C.Fred ( talk) 13:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. Wikipedia is
not censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did to

vandalism. If you continue in this manner, you will be
blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Please keep in mind the three revert rule when editing, specifically editing at Peter Sutcliffe. You made the following reverts to that page within a 24-hour period: 1, 2, 3, 4. Please stop edit warring, or you could be blocked. Instead of constant reverting, please try and discuss changes with users on their talk page, or the articles' talk page. Thanks. - Rjd0060 ( talk) 02:05, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Number 3 in your cited list was an attempt to put a proper citation in place...I waited, thinking some Admin would be smart enough to figure it out, but they haven't yet. I wrote to the talk page with my reasons and actually did that BEFORE I did the first edit...I also posted there afterwards. Nobody else has...I was the only one actually doing what they were supposed to.
I cited WP:RSUE for the first revert. The Admin cited back my own reason (makes him look like he doesn't get it). The operative word being TRUMPS our style guidelines (THAT MEANS YOU DO ADD THE STARS!!!). No Admin bothered to see that I was putting the article to the same place it was before that day...yep, it always had the stars until Blammermouth decided (without a source) to change it and announce that "We don't censor Wikipedia". Well, no one was..I followed up after the revert to find a citation. They exist, none of those people who were willing to shout "Vandal" on that day have followed up..no Admin just tried to look at it?
I'm no article crusader and couldn't give a damn about the article..I just thought I was doing the right thing. Did I mention that I'm not a fucking prude either! No censor here...but also no longer a Wikipedian either. I foolishly believed in buy-in & collegiality and more foolishly believed I was doing some form of volunteerism towards a good cause. I thought that vandal tags were hung on obvious vandals. I'm not one and have explained myself but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears...well, if I were volunteering at a local charity and they accuse me of being a vandal, and then I explain myself but they still don't see, there is nothing to do but leave...
The spirit of editing was sort of sapped out of me. With a clobbered reputation, there is nothing to do. I won't spend my energies defending myself in the future because these tags were hung here...it would lead to extra accusations on me..No thanks. My edit history doesn't bear up to being a vandal..and now I'm too afraid to touch any article.
As I get older I notice how much harder everything gets...I have to put a lot more effort into things to get the same results..actually lesser results. I felt terrible when the vandal badge was hung on me..ruined an otherwise good day. It has bothered me ever since. Something I'm doing to try to contribute shouldn't make me feel that badly...
I appreciate the opportunity to have edited and I'm sure I'll continue to enjoy reading Wikipedia articles in the future.
Thank you Berean Hunter ( talk) 11:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

What on earth do you think you were doing with this edit? "Remove mass edits where good faith edits were removed by DreamGuy" is just ridiculous as an edit comment to justify an edit that was nothing but a blind revert of several unrelated changes... I fixed capitalization errors, removed nonnotable trivia from the culture section, and a made whole slew of completely unobjectionable good faith edits that you completely removed for no reason other than you called otehr people's edits good faith... well, of course they could have been made with good faith, but unless you assume mine weren't then your edit comment makes no sense.
Please make sure to edit in good faith yourself. Completely undoing a bunch of changes with no apparent justification wouldn't seem to apply.

Regarding the Britspeak in the Whitechapel article, no apology is necessary. I think it should probably be in britspeak as well. Forgive me for asking, but aren't the JTR murders a subset of the Whitechapel murders? Folk keep suggesting the opposite. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Brevetted was something that I thought I was correcting from just a common misspelling. That like the possessive form. Does this mean that you would prefer that I not change the word? I don't feel strongly about it either way..it gave me a great excuse to read articles and check for other edits that I might could see. I ceased changing the possessive forms but that creates a small quandary for me..I'm running into articles like Franklin Gardner where both forms are present (in back to back paragraphs about May '63) and it is inconsistent. I'm uncertain what to do with this and will likely skip that kind of edit.
On another subject, could you look at Benjamin Piatt Runkle and my edits and my comment on the talk page? I don't want to demote this man unduly. All 49 occurrences of Runkle in the OR lists no rank greater than colonel..in fact, reading those letters leads me to wonder whether he is notable. I don't know what Eicher may have on him. His military career looks less than stellar..the only positive light that I saw for him was that Burnside includes him in a general list of subordinates that he is commending in the Tullahoma campaign. A couple of significant dings go against him from one of his commanders as well as one subordinate (worth reading if you take pleasure in reading the OR). If you have the time, I'd appreciate your review of this. Cheers, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ( (⊕)) 23:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I am writing to request which part of the edit of Pendragons you have a problem with? btw, the name is THE Pendragons, not Pendragons... AS one of The Pendragons, and as such I know more about me and my partner than anyone. I can and have provided many new references and have corrected old ones. I am sorry that as one of the persons this subject is about, if I change or add text to my history, this may seem like a conflict of interest. Let me say I have "ibterest" and well I should. BUT I do NOT and have not written anything that is not true. btw...who is the poster that added the bit about the accident? Where is this person's referenced source? You really should concern yourself with this post as it is inaccurate.
I look forward to your return communication.
Best, Charlotte Pendragon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Pendragon ( talk • contribs) 07:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
<-- I have been patiently repeating the *conflict* theme over and over not as a rant but as an opportunity for her to see it..that notwithstanding those terms are far more universal than Wikipedia and she knows what 'conflict of interest' means. After a few threads, I chose to throw the first WP acronym out as a curiosity teaser in case she hasn't gotten it yet (I had intentionally been avoiding them) and because I'm trying to help her...I know she might not recognize that yet but you should. When does she start learning? I do not think that your argument about "the moral right" to edit Wikipedia holds any water here. Apples & Oranges: that which she is declaring is ALL nitpicking..there isn't anything scandalous or major here that affects their professional standing. There are no *gross* errors being corrected. That is exactly the point. She thinks so because she is involved..she sees errors that really don't matter in the minds of an average Wikipedian. Would you like to defend her edits? ...and when reviewed, you & I both know they are not going to fall into the category you suggest. That reply on your talk page was intentional so that 1.)you would see it 2.)she would if she finds your page again 3.) she knows that the issue still exists. I did reply to her talk page before her response to you...she seems to have ignored me after talking to you (not that that is connected in any way) and went back to editing the some of the same stuff in a similar way. You can't have it both ways, Circus, you get onto me that I shouldn't do what is normal in Wikipedia because she is new..but because I make an exception to what is normal for her benefit, and post where she is writing, you get onto me for not doing what is normal. Not fair to me...
Let's recap...Saturday a week ago, she made the Jonathan Pendragon page. I just happened to be patrolling pages and immediately saw a huge glaring COI error...I did what was wrong in not placing a Speedy Delete on it but because I understood that she was who she was and decided to try to handle it more delicately...so I placed the COI so that it would at least open up dialog and she wouldn't get shot down while running the gauntlet of getting 'new pages' past the speedy deletes. She was reverted twice by others..(NawlinWiki was one off the top of my head) She was off & running with making other edits on other pages and I saw the bias in them, reverted SOME of them. She posted to me and I responded. I followed up by doing a lot of checking and reposted a citation request on her behalf regarding the accident...and you graciously made the page redirect at her request. After a day, it occurred to me that she might not remember (or have navigation probs)..at any rate, I posted to her talk page as a courtesy. You got involved (and it is welcome) but didn't have a full understanding of what was happening until I pointed out the Jonathan Pendragon page to you. I thought that everything would go great from that point..(and still don't believe that we are very far from that) but after she apparently had an email or two with you, she came back to the same material and began interjecting "I have established.." in edit summaries without providing sources. I believe she has probably misunderstood something somewhere..
Regarding my tone...if it does sound terse, I apologize (to both of you). I was trying to keep a "business" tone so that I didn't slip into giving preferential treatment to Mrs. Pendragon..something I perhaps did by not placing the speedy delete on the JP page. I will try to watch that my tone more closely. Also, my use of the term "immediately" and desire to handle this expeditiously shouldn't be misconstrued as anger..it is more so that I just want to get things straightened out as quickly as possible.
Do remember that my suggestion is for her to work with you (as an adoptee?) and you take her under your wing to help her with Wiki issues. I can understand that editors in the magic articles could be ready to cut backflips at her presence. The analogy is somewhat akin to Eddie Van Halen showing up at the Electric Guitar article. The editors might think it is great and jump for joy..but if he begins to increase the frequency of his own name and accomplishments within the article until it gives undue weight (because that is how he sees it, and he's right , of course) then indeed, gross errors will have occurred. Even more awkward is what that editing environment could become..possibly. Perhaps more complicated than any of the three of us could see? That is why the guidelines and policies are there. I haven't been one to harp on them...never been to AN/I (hope to keep it that way), never had to file a COI yet, and you can see that I don't normally tangle negatively too much with others and would desire to keep it jovial..review of my contribs and talk page will confirm this. I believe I've only ever posted the COI template about three or four times..once just before the JP page on the same day..and that page has been deleted. I hope we can work to achieve a remedy. Cheers, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ( (⊕)) 13:54, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I agreed with your edit to take Cornwell's mention off of the main Jack the Ripper page, though I stuck it back on the "additional reading" list. I think because of its fame and its claims it should be on the main page, even though I agree with you, it is 95% patent crap and bad historical research. Some of her leaps are just outright nutty. And since you seem to edit the Ripper page often, I did some edits to the pages of the three letters (Saucy, Boss, Hell) last week, moving stuff around, adding cites, etc. I also spruced up the Jack the Ripper page on Wikimedia Commons.

Greetings. Thank you very much for creating the new Template:Lighthouses of Connecticut navbox (it looks very nice). I placed the navbox on the Fairfield County Lighthouses and also added those lighthouses to the navbox. I see that you went and added Category:Lighthouses in Connecticut to each of those Fairfield County lighthouse articles. Some time ago someone (not me) decided to create the separate Category:Lighthouses in Fairfield County, Connecticut and removed each article from the state category and placed the county category within the state category. I have undone your recent category changes to the Fairfield County lighthouse articles for the same reason that the articles were orginally removed from the state category. According to WP:CATEGORY "Usually, articles should not be in both a category and its subcategory. For example, Golden Gate Bridge is in Category:Suspension bridges, so it should not also be in Category:Bridges". I hope that explains the categories of the Fairfield County, Connecticut lighthouse articles and why they have been re-removed from the state category. 67.86.73.252 ( talk) 13:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Of course I know it isn't a "lighthouse," but I think that United States lightship Huron (LV-103) should be included. That served the function of a lighthouse, and is in effect 'orphaned' by the omission. I figure you thought about this already.

Thanks for your commentary regarding my fixing up the various Skynyrd-related articles. My interest in the band goes way back - in fact, sitting in my safety-deposit box in my bank, is an unused Skynyrd ticket, dated November 10, 1977, for their headlining concert at Madison Square Garden. I regret I never got to see the "classic" lineup - looking at the videos on YouTube, I can only imagine the twin towers of Collins and Gaines standing toe-to-toe on "Free Bird" and how awesome it would have been to experience that in the flesh. My friend was luckier than I - he saw the Miami Sportatorium show 4 nights before the end and still tells me it was one of the best shows he ever attended.
The "Freebirds" book is good, but I understand Gene Odom's book is better - I haven't read all of it but his on-board-the-plane account of October 20, 1977 is absolutely chilling. BassPlyr23 ( talk) 16:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Recently I think he's been doing really well, but User:Tohd8BohaithuGh1 started using huggle the other day as another user advised him that it was faster than twinkle, and he seems to be using it for other purposes (such as removing external links [1]) as well as just removing vandalism. Is this acceptable and do others do it much? The manual for huggle only seems to mention vandalism really. We need to be firm with the guidelines as he was previously blocked, mainly for his use of Twinkle. I was happy to take on this adoptee after he had problems, but the use of tools isn't my speciality, and it seems to be something he's keen to develop. And I expect you have a good grasp of the rules and perhaps the ways people customarily use these tools and what is acceptable use. He is doing great though, I don't think he needs any discipline or anything even if this isn't a perfect use of tools, as the content of the edits is still good. I just want to make sure he is staying on track and see if I need to give him a friendly reminder. Sticky Parkin 19:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Berean I found Todd's threats a little strong, especially to someone new. I felt he was attempting to talkdown to me. It was not meant as an attack or insult merely an observation. I suppose in retrospect I should have called him a wanker, as in "come on Todd lighten up", it's a Brit thing! I'm an Oasis fan that should explain it. I will however resist any future naughty comments.
I did however find your Skynyrd conversation interesting as I was lucky to see them in London on their first tour at the Rainbow with the original lineup, fine show and a sad loss. Other shows I have seen that may interest you included the original Eagles (Desperado show)open for Neil Young. Two of original Steely Dan's three UK shows! Then nothing for twenty years! Hendrix's first (opened for the Who the weekend Sgt Pepper came out and started with that song!) and last show. I have been lucky to find an administrator to help guide me through this new world. I look forward to meeting again on a more equal footing.

Berean, The feeling is mutual. Speaking of which, if you were interested, I could send you a picture of the Michigan lighthouse license plate. My thought is that perhaps we could then cut and paste it and do two things with it: (1) create a real "Michigan Lighthouse Keeper's barnstar" and (2) put that photo into wiki commons, and also into the White Shoal Light where it belongs. I don't really know much about doing either of those things, but I've got the plate and the digital camera. What do you think? 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 00:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC) Stan

I don't think there's a minimum age to edit Wikipedia.

You left a mysterious note on my talk page about military ranks. I don't know who you are, however, if this is concerning the abbreviations of military ranks of the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy being used on Wikipedia, then I can let you know this. Despite being a retired officer and knowing what the rank abbreviations are, I made some phone calls down to the Penagon today. Abbreviations used by wiki such as "Maj. Gen." for a Major General in the U.S. Army is nonsensical nothing that means nothing, and is not the proper abbreviation for an official title of an officer commissioned such by the U.S. Congress. Wiki should use proper noun titles and their abbreviations for all such entitled persons in its encyclopedic articles, whether Barons, Lords, Generals, Admirals or what have you. There's no debate on the subjet to be had. I'm just informing you that Wiki is not following correct naming conventions and protocols or the accompanying guidance issued by the U.S. Government about it's officers. What convention Wiki chooses to use, if it does not conform to the style guides published by the U.S. Army and Navy, is meaningless. President George Bush is not "P. Bush", and LTG Dempsey, acting commander of USCENTCOM is not "Lieut. Gen. Dempsey". Basically there is no such thing as "Lieut. Gen." as it is not a real abbreviation.
Sincerely, Grayghost01 ( talk) 01:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
FOLLOW UP: I have discovered you have been reverting my edits in Wiki in the past day or two. Shame on you. I am a bona fide contributor, retired Marine officer, and expert in the fields I am contributing to. Your reversions are merit-less, and appear to be in regard to yours and others improper non-sensical rank abbreviations that are being used in Wikipedia. I cannot follow bad use of English, if employed by Wiki, or the inventions of things which do no exist. The U.S. Government chooses the titles of its ranks, and the accompanying abbreviations, as does any country. The titles of rank for officers of all nations should be properly made in the articles of Wiki. Please correct yourself. Thank you. Grayghost01 ( talk) 01:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
In addition to not following US Army and US Navy officially published protocols and spelling for abbreviations, you are not consistent with other WIKI articles on this topic. In Commanding General of the United States Army you can find LTG George Washington, MG Henry Wager Halleck and so on. Also see United States Army officer rank insignia. So WIKI has already set the precedent to follow the proper spellings and abbreviations of official titles. Your citation of the Official Records is interesting, but there are many many spellings of words in that document which are not in use today. Additionally, the veterans of the American Civil War have these abbreviations on their tombstones in all federal cemetaries, which squares with U.S. Government protocol and the "other" wiki articles on military rank that you don't seem to be involved with: (The administration uses an all caps schema similar to the current US Army practice):
So the proper abbreviations across the board are:
FEDERAL ARMY Ranks
CONFEDERATE ARMY Ranks
This is the way I do them and link them. It follows protocol and official guidance, and has some good suggested linkages.
EXAMPLE OF A BAD ABBREVIATION:
In this case, why even bother attempting an abbreviation? Just add the few remaining letters and spell it out. This abbreviation uses 11 characters and spaces. The original words use only 17 letters to begin with. What's the point? This is why this is a bad abbreviation, and why it is not used by the U.S. armed forces.vvOne thing I'd like to point out is that for decades lieutenants in the military have been referred to as "El Tee". Why? Because the abbreviation for 1stLt and 2ndLt have been spelled as such for a very long time. The actual use of "Lieut." as an abbreviation for lieutenant is extremely rare.
EXAMPLE OF THE CORRECT ABBREVIATION:
In this case, only 5 characters are needed for the CSA or Marine use, and a mere 3 letters for the Army use. I don't know why the USAF adds the space, but the space is the primary difference between the USAF and USMC. Regardless, no periods are ever used in proper military rank abbreviations.
I hope that helps you out. Like I said, there's no point in debating me. Your issue is with the other wiki articles on military rank, which give examples of historical American people from the Civil War with the proper abbreviations, and with the published guidance from the Federal Government ...
Sincerely, Grayghost01 ( talk) 04:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, the reason why I did not want to block them is that first of all, the computer is apparently shared (see for example the edit at 02:01, 31 October 2008). However, the warnings have been read by someone, and their removal shows acknowledgment (removing messages/warnings on one's talk page is usually not an issue -that's why I reverted you there-). The edits to Hamlet and Marxism are vandalism, and are problematic, but too old for us to be sure that we'll block the vandal and not someone trying to be constructive. That's why I defaulted not to block them and see what happens. But to be honest, the vandalism that comes from here is childish enough not to be a pressing issue (it is reverted on sight). I hope that helps :) -- lucasbfr talk 14:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with your advisement. Note that the case in question has been warned repeatedly and has already been given the "last warning" message, yet still is free to continue vandalism at a steady pace. My warnings are given (1) to document the vandalism for later reference, and (2) indicate what the vandalism was. I have in the past used, and will continue to use, the canned warnings, but I also hate to waste much time on the idiots who do this. This case has attempted to conceal the history of vandalism already by blanking his talk page. I am only to happy to restore it for him. Thanks, Stepp-Wulf ( talk) 02:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC).

I truly mean no disrespect to you but if you know anything about the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the man behind the voice you would know what i edited was true..he has stated in many interviews that he never wanted to be labeled a southern rock band,just straight rock n roll,im good friends with JoJo Billingsley one of the Honkettes from Skynyrd,Ed King i know well and i am close friends and live just a few miles away from Leon Wilkersons son Lee here in Warner Robins GA and it would be very wise if you wouldnt argue or try to debate these facts with the people i just named,its people like you that have them stuck with this label and its also people like you that can make it right,so i will ask you once to make it the way it is suppose to be or you can prove to me and any of the people mentioned above when there was ever a time when the original Skynyrd ever considered themselves southern rock,if you really knew your history you would know that the only reason Skynyrd didnt sign with Capricorn Records out of Macon Ga. is because Ronnie Van Zant didnt want to be labeled as being like The Allman Brothers Band and seem like they were following in their footsteps although he did admire the band a great deal but those are the facts..You can write back some smug comment if thats what your about but all im doing is trying to honor and respect what Ronnie Van Zant wanted for something he created.And if you wish to make a problem out of it ,do your research first and then you can come back with all that you have to prove us wrong but let me warn you now,you wont only be offending me but the people i have mentioned above will be involved..You might as well work for The Star if you are going to make false statements.I dont care what Kid Rock calls it or anyone else.Although there may be a millions sites labeling them as southern rock but for someone that doesnt know much about them and depend on Wikiepdia to be accurate then the people learing about these great people will know how it really was and hopefully the ones that already think they know all there is to know can come around and learn the truth...check the history thats all i ask...You will be hearing from me soon..do the right thing.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skynyrd77 ( talk • contribs) 07:25, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi Berean
I've got into a mess uploading my images. How to I delete stuff and start again? I'm trying to upload my own original photos - but the file name keeps being changed - the letter "i" at the start of the file name gets changed to an "I" or an "L" (I can't tell which).
Thanks for your help.

Berean, Thank you for the holiday greetings. I did finish drinking a Christmas gift, namely part of a growler of "Wee Heavy Under the Kilt" (a high ABV Scotish Ale, although not as high as their "Final Absolution" Belgian Triple) by Dragonmead Brewery, which is one of the finest (maybe the finest, although I have not been to them all) microbrewery in Michigan. May you too have a happy New Year.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed (wrongly) that since it was a USDA Forest Service website that an author citation didn't apply. Will correct in the future.
I did notice the phonograph cabinet reference and almost took it out; I left it as a historical reference; next time I will make that note that "previously was used", etc.
Sweetgum is a very important tree still. It is planted and cultivated for commercial timber purposes in the appropriate sites. That was the impetus for my edit - the previous information led readers to believe it was a trash tree, which is, unfortunately, a commonly-held belief.
It is almost guaranteed that if you have wooden or upholstered furniture in your home, the frames, inner plys of veneers are made of sweetgum and/or yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tuplipfera). Sweetgum lumber, once dried, is extremely stable and will not shrink/swell significantly with humidity changes.
Happy New Year to you and everyone in your beautiful state.

Please be more sparing in your application of speedy tags for advertising. The article about last September's NYFW is actually about one of the most important events in fashion (no less, than say the 2008 golden globes is in film), which you could have found if you clicked through to the general article about New York Fashion Week. The article contained no advertising language and was simply a list of designers. The db-ad tag is supposed to be used where there's no question that something is an ad, and it should be sparingly applied especially because we don't want to bite the newbies.

Dear Sir,
I m really surprised by the deletion process you started, The rule is that companies appears in companies categories the page i created is informative and describe the activity of a Brand, you can find exactly the same kind of companies listed in wikipedia such as L'occitane, Darty, Celio.... (all having their HQ in France)
If you think I should make some changes on the page, I will be glad to do it
This page is for sure not a Major important page for wikipedia, but I m sure you know that there is lot of non major articles in an encyclopedia, and even more in wikipedia
This Page , in its french version, has been granted in the french version of wikipedia,
Sincerely yours

The article is clearly an ad and includes text as such. It is unfortunate that it was included in the French version because that means the editors missed it. It contains the following text...
Yes, you re right, actually, i should have make the text myself , as more informative, instead of using an existing text, mea culpa, I will submit you a revised version, also, could you explain me the presence of the quoted brands then?
I m just a fan of this brand which I ve been buying from since 13 years and I dont see why it should be less represented than others....
Sincerely yours Jill
Tayone ( talk) 10:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)Tayone
Actually, if you visit Celio and check the page history from the beginning, you will see that it was tagged for speedy deletion and went through this process.It may be enlightening to you to go back through and study the edits and how the article transformed. The article is very poorly written, however it isn't an ad, so at least it gets to stay on Wikipedia for the time being. If I, or any other Wikipedia editor, find advertising then we tag it, new or not. Wikipedia tries to be fair.
The other two articles have edits from the beginning that are also worth noting..no ad texts.
You could try improving the Celio article..English usage & grammar could definitely be improved there. Cheers Berean Hunter ( talk) 16:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I took a look at the new article. There's at least an assertion of notability, so I don't think it's eligible for speedy deletion right now. However, I also don't think it's notable, so I've proposed deletion of the article. Thanks for letting me know it was recreated. — C.Fred ( talk) 17:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Number 3 in your cited list was an attempt to put a proper citation in place...I waited, thinking some Admin would be smart enough to figure it out, but they haven't yet. I wrote to the talk page with my reasons and actually did that BEFORE I did the first edit...I also posted there afterwards. Nobody else has...I was the only one actually doing what they were supposed to.
I cited WP:RSUE for the first revert. The Admin cited back my own reason (makes him look like he doesn't get it). The operative word being TRUMPS our style guidelines (THAT MEANS YOU DO ADD THE STARS!!!). No Admin bothered to see that I was putting the article to the same place it was before that day...yep, it always had the stars until Blammermouth decided (without a source) to change it and announce that "We don't censor Wikipedia". Well, no one was..I followed up after the revert to find a citation. They exist, none of those people who were willing to shout "Vandal" on that day have followed up..no Admin just tried to look at it?
I'm no article crusader and couldn't give a damn about the article..I just thought I was doing the right thing. Did I mention that I'm not a fucking prude either! No censor here...but also no longer a Wikipedian either. I foolishly believed in buy-in & collegiality and more foolishly believed I was doing some form of volunteerism towards a good cause. I thought that vandal tags were hung on obvious vandals. I'm not one and have explained myself but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears...well, if I were volunteering at a local charity and they accuse me of being a vandal, and then I explain myself but they still don't see, there is nothing to do but leave...
The spirit of editing was sort of sapped out of me. With a clobbered reputation, there is nothing to do. I won't spend my energies defending myself in the future because these tags were hung here...it would lead to extra accusations on me..No thanks. My edit history doesn't bear up to being a vandal..and now I'm too afraid to touch any article.
As I get older I notice how much harder everything gets...I have to put a lot more effort into things to get the same results..actually lesser results. I felt terrible when the vandal badge was hung on me..ruined an otherwise good day. It has bothered me ever since. Something I'm doing to try to contribute shouldn't make me feel that badly...
I appreciate the opportunity to have edited and I'm sure I'll continue to enjoy reading Wikipedia articles in the future.

What on earth do you think you were doing with this edit? "Remove mass edits where good faith edits were removed by DreamGuy" is just ridiculous as an edit comment to justify an edit that was nothing but a blind revert of several unrelated changes... I fixed capitalization errors, removed nonnotable trivia from the culture section, and a made whole slew of completely unobjectionable good faith edits that you completely removed for no reason other than you called otehr people's edits good faith... well, of course they could have been made with good faith, but unless you assume mine weren't then your edit comment makes no sense.
Please make sure to edit in good faith yourself. Completely undoing a bunch of changes with no apparent justification wouldn't seem to apply.

Regarding the Britspeak in the Whitechapel article, no apology is necessary. I think it should probably be in britspeak as well.

Brevetted was something that I thought I was correcting from just a common misspelling. That like the possessive form. Does this mean that you would prefer that I not change the word? I don't feel strongly about it either way..it gave me a great excuse to read articles and check for other edits that I might could see. I ceased changing the possessive forms but that creates a small quandary for me..I'm running into articles like Franklin Gardner where both forms are present (in back to back paragraphs about May '63) and it is inconsistent. I'm uncertain what to do with this and will likely skip that kind of edit.
On another subject, could you look at Benjamin Piatt Runkle and my edits and my comment on the talk page? I don't want to demote this man unduly. All 49 occurrences of Runkle in the OR lists no rank greater than colonel..in fact, reading those letters leads me to wonder whether he is notable. I don't know what Eicher may have on him. His military career looks less than stellar..the only positive light that I saw for him was that Burnside includes him in a general list of subordinates that he is commending in the Tullahoma campaign. A couple of significant dings go against him from one of his commanders as well as one subordinate (worth reading if you take pleasure in reading the OR). If you have the time, I'd appreciate your review of this. Cheers, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ( (⊕)) 23:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I am writing to request which part of the edit of Pendragons you have a problem with? btw, the name is THE Pendragons, not Pendragons... AS one of The Pendragons, and as such I know more about me and my partner than anyone. I can and have provided many new references and have corrected old ones. I am sorry that as one of the persons this subject is about, if I change or add text to my history, this may seem like a conflict of interest. Let me say I have "ibterest" and well I should. BUT I do NOT and have not written anything that is not true. btw...who is the poster that added the bit about the accident? Where is this person's referenced source? You really should concern yourself with this post as it is inaccurate.
I look forward to your return communication.
Best, Charlotte Pendragon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Pendragon ( talk • contribs) 07:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
<-- I have been patiently repeating the *conflict* theme over and over not as a rant but as an opportunity for her to see it..that notwithstanding those terms are far more universal than Wikipedia and she knows what 'conflict of interest' means. After a few threads, I chose to throw the first WP acronym out as a curiosity teaser in case she hasn't gotten it yet (I had intentionally been avoiding them) and because I'm trying to help her...I know she might not recognize that yet but you should. When does she start learning? I do not think that your argument about "the moral right" to edit Wikipedia holds any water here. Apples & Oranges: that which she is declaring is ALL nitpicking..there isn't anything scandalous or major here that affects their professional standing. There are no *gross* errors being corrected. That is exactly the point. She thinks so because she is involved..she sees errors that really don't matter in the minds of an average Wikipedian. Would you like to defend her edits? ...and when reviewed, you & I both know they are not going to fall into the category you suggest. That reply on your talk page was intentional so that 1.)you would see it 2.)she would if she finds your page again 3.) she knows that the issue still exists. I did reply to her talk page before her response to you...she seems to have ignored me after talking to you (not that that is connected in any way) and went back to editing the some of the same stuff in a similar way. You can't have it both ways, Circus, you get onto me that I shouldn't do what is normal in Wikipedia because she is new..but because I make an exception to what is normal for her benefit, and post where she is writing, you get onto me for not doing what is normal. Not fair to me...
Let's recap...Saturday a week ago, she made the Jonathan Pendragon page. I just happened to be patrolling pages and immediately saw a huge glaring COI error...I did what was wrong in not placing a Speedy Delete on it but because I understood that she was who she was and decided to try to handle it more delicately...so I placed the COI so that it would at least open up dialog and she wouldn't get shot down while running the gauntlet of getting 'new pages' past the speedy deletes. She was reverted twice by others..(NawlinWiki was one off the top of my head) She was off & running with making other edits on other pages and I saw the bias in them, reverted SOME of them. She posted to me and I responded. I followed up by doing a lot of checking and reposted a citation request on her behalf regarding the accident...and you graciously made the page redirect at her request. After a day, it occurred to me that she might not remember (or have navigation probs)..at any rate, I posted to her talk page as a courtesy. You got involved (and it is welcome) but didn't have a full understanding of what was happening until I pointed out the Jonathan Pendragon page to you. I thought that everything would go great from that point..(and still don't believe that we are very far from that) but after she apparently had an email or two with you, she came back to the same material and began interjecting "I have established.." in edit summaries without providing sources. I believe she has probably misunderstood something somewhere..
Regarding my tone...if it does sound terse, I apologize (to both of you). I was trying to keep a "business" tone so that I didn't slip into giving preferential treatment to Mrs. Pendragon..something I perhaps did by not placing the speedy delete on the JP page. I will try to watch that my tone more closely. Also, my use of the term "immediately" and desire to handle this expeditiously shouldn't be misconstrued as anger..it is more so that I just want to get things straightened out as quickly as possible.
Do remember that my suggestion is for her to work with you (as an adoptee?) and you take her under your wing to help her with Wiki issues. I can understand that editors in the magic articles could be ready to cut backflips at her presence. The analogy is somewhat akin to Eddie Van Halen showing up at the Electric Guitar article. The editors might think it is great and jump for joy..but if he begins to increase the frequency of his own name and accomplishments within the article until it gives undue weight (because that is how he sees it, and he's right , of course) then indeed, gross errors will have occurred. Even more awkward is what that editing environment could become..possibly. Perhaps more complicated than any of the three of us could see? That is why the guidelines and policies are there. I haven't been one to harp on them...never been to AN/I (hope to keep it that way), never had to file a COI yet, and you can see that I don't normally tangle negatively too much with others and would desire to keep it jovial..review of my contribs and talk page will confirm this. I believe I've only ever posted the COI template about three or four times..once just before the JP page on the same day..and that page has been deleted. I hope we can work to achieve a remedy.

I agreed with your edit to take Cornwell's mention off of the main Jack the Ripper page, though I stuck it back on the "additional reading" list. I think because of its fame and its claims it should be on the main page, even though I agree with you, it is 95% patent crap and bad historical research. Some of her leaps are just outright nutty. And since you seem to edit the Ripper page often, I did some edits to the pages of the three letters (Saucy, Boss, Hell) last week, moving stuff around, adding cites, etc. I also spruced up the Jack the Ripper page on Wikimedia Commons.

I see that you went and added Category:Lighthouses in Connecticut to each of those Fairfield County lighthouse articles. Some time ago someone (not me) decided to create the separate Category:Lighthouses in Fairfield County, Connecticut and removed each article from the state category and placed the county category within the state category. I have undone your recent category changes to the Fairfield County lighthouse articles for the same reason that the articles were orginally removed from the state category. According to WP:CATEGORY "Usually, articles should not be in both a category and its subcategory. For example, Golden Gate Bridge is in Category:Suspension bridges, so it should not also be in Category:Bridges". I hope that explains the categories of the Fairfield County, Connecticut lighthouse articles and why they have been re-removed from the state category. 67.86.73.252 ( talk) 13:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
I have deleted from history your last two edits at the JtR talk page. Please read the above link and my response there, and please do not try to repost the information. Outing the offline identities of project editors is a very seriously bad thing to do around here. - TexasAndroid ( talk) 04:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I was rather hoping that my little chat (above) would go some way to calming you down. It just seems to be continuing. Please just accept that TexasAndroid was trying to do his best for both you and the project by withdrawing the clues to DG's RL identity. If he (DG) doesn't want it known, then that is his right. To continue with this dispute is just disruptive.
TA is trying to put together a proposal that will move the article forward without the constant bickering, and sniping. Hopefully, you'll want to contribute to that - but, please no more disputes. Take a break and take care. Kbthompson ( talk) 17:47, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Of course I know it isn't a "lighthouse," but I think that United States lightship Huron (LV-103) should be included. That served the function of a lighthouse, and is in effect 'orphaned' by the omission. I figure you thought about this already. However, since you put this together, I thought I'd go back to the source and pose the question, as I do not want to be presumptuous or contensious with my cooperating editors.

Thanks for your commentary regarding my fixing up the various Skynyrd-related articles. My interest in the band goes way back - in fact, sitting in my safety-deposit box in my bank, is an unused Skynyrd ticket, dated November 10, 1977, for their headlining concert at Madison Square Garden. I regret I never got to see the "classic" lineup - looking at the videos on YouTube, I can only imagine the twin towers of Collins and Gaines standing toe-to-toe on "Free Bird" and how awesome it would have been to experience that in the flesh. My friend was luckier than I - he saw the Miami Sportatorium show 4 nights before the end and still tells me it was one of the best shows he ever attended.
The "Freebirds" book is good, but I understand Gene Odom's book is better - I haven't read all of it but his on-board-the-plane account of October 20, 1977 is absolutely chilling. BassPlyr23 ( talk) 16:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Recently I think he's been doing really well, but User:Tohd8BohaithuGh1 started using huggle the other day as another user advised him that it was faster than twinkle, and he seems to be using it for other purposes (such as removing external links [1]) as well as just removing vandalism. Is this acceptable and do others do it much? The manual for huggle only seems to mention vandalism really. We need to be firm with the guidelines as he was previously blocked, mainly for his use of Twinkle. I was happy to take on this adoptee after he had problems, but the use of tools isn't my speciality, and it seems to be something he's keen to develop. And I expect you have a good grasp of the rules and perhaps the ways people customarily use these tools and what is acceptable use. He is doing great though, I don't think he needs any discipline or anything even if this isn't a perfect use of tools, as the content of the edits is still good. I just want to make sure he is staying on track and see if I need to give him a friendly reminder. Sticky Parkin 19:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Berean I found Todd's threats a little strong, especially to someone new. I felt he was attempting to talkdown to me. It was not meant as an attack or insult merely an observation. I suppose in retrospect I should have called him a wanker, as in "come on Todd lighten up", it's a Brit thing! I'm an Oasis fan that should explain it. I will however resist any future naughty comments.
I did however find your Skynyrd conversation interesting as I was lucky to see them in London on their first tour at the Rainbow with the original lineup, fine show and a sad loss. Other shows I have seen that may interest you included the original Eagles (Desperado show)open for Neil Young. Two of original Steely Dan's three UK shows! Then nothing for twenty years! Hendrix's first (opened for the Who the weekend Sgt Pepper came out and started with that song!) and last show. I have been lucky to find an administrator to help guide me through this new world.

Berean, The feeling is mutual. Speaking of which, if you were interested, I could send you a picture of the Michigan lighthouse license plate. My thought is that perhaps we could then cut and paste it and do two things with it: (1) create a real "Michigan Lighthouse Keeper's barnstar" and (2) put that photo into wiki commons, and also into the White Shoal Light where it belongs. I don't really know much about doing either of those things, but I've got the plate and the digital camera. What do you think? 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 00:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC) Stan

I don't think there's a minimum age to edit Wikipedia.

You left a mysterious note on my talk page about military ranks. I don't know who you are, however, if this is concerning the abbreviations of military ranks of the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy being used on Wikipedia, then I can let you know this. Despite being a retired officer and knowing what the rank abbreviations are, I made some phone calls down to the Penagon today. Abbreviations used by wiki such as "Maj. Gen." for a Major General in the U.S. Army is nonsensical nothing that means nothing, and is not the proper abbreviation for an official title of an officer commissioned such by the U.S. Congress. Wiki should use proper noun titles and their abbreviations for all such entitled persons in its encyclopedic articles, whether Barons, Lords, Generals, Admirals or what have you. There's no debate on the subjet to be had. I'm just informing you that Wiki is not following correct naming conventions and protocols or the accompanying guidance issued by the U.S. Government about it's officers. What convention Wiki chooses to use, if it does not conform to the style guides published by the U.S. Army and Navy, is meaningless. President George Bush is not "P. Bush", and LTG Dempsey, acting commander of USCENTCOM is not "Lieut. Gen. Dempsey". Basically there is no such thing as "Lieut. Gen." as it is not a real abbreviation.
Sincerely, Grayghost01 ( talk) 01:40, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
FOLLOW UP: I have discovered you have been reverting my edits in Wiki in the past day or two. Shame on you. I am a bona fide contributor, retired Marine officer, and expert in the fields I am contributing to. Your reversions are merit-less, and appear to be in regard to yours and others improper non-sensical rank abbreviations that are being used in Wikipedia. I cannot follow bad use of English, if employed by Wiki, or the inventions of things which do no exist. The U.S. Government chooses the titles of its ranks, and the accompanying abbreviations, as does any country. The titles of rank for officers of all nations should be properly made in the articles of Wiki. Please correct yourself. Thank you. Grayghost01 ( talk) 01:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
In addition to not following US Army and US Navy officially published protocols and spelling for abbreviations, you are not consistent with other WIKI articles on this topic. In Commanding General of the United States Army you can find LTG George Washington, MG Henry Wager Halleck and so on. Also see United States Army officer rank insignia. So WIKI has already set the precedent to follow the proper spellings and abbreviations of official titles. Your citation of the Official Records is interesting, but there are many many spellings of words in that document which are not in use today. Additionally, the veterans of the American Civil War have these abbreviations on their tombstones in all federal cemetaries, which squares with U.S. Government protocol and the "other" wiki articles on military rank that you don't seem to be involved with: (The administration uses an all caps schema similar to the current US Army practice):
So the proper abbreviations across the board are:
FEDERAL ARMY Ranks
CONFEDERATE ARMY Ranks
This is the way I do them and link them. It follows protocol and official guidance, and has some good suggested linkages.
EXAMPLE OF A BAD ABBREVIATION:
In this case, why even bother attempting an abbreviation? Just add the few remaining letters and spell it out. This abbreviation uses 11 characters and spaces. The original words use only 17 letters to begin with. What's the point? This is why this is a bad abbreviation, and why it is not used by the U.S. armed forces.vvOne thing I'd like to point out is that for decades lieutenants in the military have been referred to as "El Tee". Why? Because the abbreviation for 1stLt and 2ndLt have been spelled as such for a very long time. The actual use of "Lieut." as an abbreviation for lieutenant is extremely rare.
EXAMPLE OF THE CORRECT ABBREVIATION:
In this case, only 5 characters are needed for the CSA or Marine use, and a mere 3 letters for the Army use. I don't know why the USAF adds the space, but the space is the primary difference between the USAF and USMC. Regardless, no periods are ever used in proper military rank abbreviations.
I hope that helps you out. Like I said, there's no point in debating me. Your issue is with the other wiki articles on military rank, which give examples of historical American people from the Civil War with the proper abbreviations, and with the published guidance from the Federal Government ...
Sincerely, Grayghost01 ( talk) 04:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, the reason why I did not want to block them is that first of all, the computer is apparently shared (see for example the edit at 02:01, 31 October 2008). However, the warnings have been read by someone, and their removal shows acknowledgment (removing messages/warnings on one's talk page is usually not an issue -that's why I reverted you there-). The edits to Hamlet and Marxism are vandalism, and are problematic, but too old for us to be sure that we'll block the vandal and not someone trying to be constructive. That's why I defaulted not to block them and see what happens. But to be honest, the vandalism that comes from here is childish enough not to be a pressing issue (it is reverted on sight). I hope that helps :) -- lucasbfr talk 14:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with your advisement. Note that the case in question has been warned repeatedly and has already been given the "last warning" message, yet still is free to continue vandalism at a steady pace. My warnings are given (1) to document the vandalism for later reference, and (2) indicate what the vandalism was. I have in the past used, and will continue to use, the canned warnings, but I also hate to waste much time on the idiots who do this. This case has attempted to conceal the history of vandalism already by blanking his talk page. I am only to happy to restore it for him. Thanks, Stepp-Wulf ( talk) 02:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC).

Hi,Just received your message, i believe i left hard evidence referring to my edit on the page about the fire at the football club, (the bbc news page) does this information need to be looked into or has my edit been deleted as it is not seen as necessary on the page, i am infact a resident of desbrough, and live very close to the football ground so i know my comments to be true. The kindest regards, Thank you for your contact. Madmensking —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madmensking ( talk • contribs) 00:08, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

berean,
I would like to delete the article "Sasan Ziatabar." I created the page about myself, but now I would like to delete it. It has created some problems for me with my employer. Thank you. Please let me know how to do this, or just do it yourself if you can. Thanks.

Thanks for removing Nicholsy's disruptive edits from my talk page, he's some nut from Smallville wiki who's got some sort of vendetta against me. But what confuses me is that you reverted Nicholsy's edit in a few seconds, you keep watch on my talk page? Elbutler ( talk) 22:26, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
You may want to go back to Nicholsy's talk page..I think you meant to say "can't" rather than "can".....I try to watch everything...8^D.

Elbutler has a habbit of being everybody's friend but will turn on a pin head and stab them in the back if it means becoming friends with admin as she wants to become an administrator for everything and is very power hungry. She always leaves messages on my talk page in order to provoke an attack from me to get me banned which is what she always does on Smallville Wiki as she sucks up to admin to get their approval. See even now on your talk page she abuses knowing full well that i hate that so she wants an attack. I would advise that you keep an eye on her and not me and warn her not to edit or leave a message on any of my talk pages. Nicholsy ( talk) 22:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Berean,
The article "sasan ziatabar" still is showing up on google search even though its a dead link.
Is there something that can be done to remove it from showing up on google search. thank you.

I have come here because i'm considing nominating you for RFA, i came here to ask you first just to be safe. What do you think? Elbutler ( talk) 22:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
I truly mean no disrespect to you but if you know anything about the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the man behind the voice you would know what i edited was true..he has stated in many interviews that he never wanted to be labeled a southern rock band,just straight rock n roll,im good friends with JoJo Billingsley one of the Honkettes from Skynyrd,Ed King i know well and i am close friends and live just a few miles away from Leon Wilkersons son Lee here in Warner Robins GA and it would be very wise if you wouldnt argue or try to debate these facts with the people i just named,its people like you that have them stuck with this label and its also people like you that can make it right,so i will ask you once to make it the way it is suppose to be or you can prove to me and any of the people mentioned above when there was ever a time when the original Skynyrd ever considered themselves southern rock,if you really knew your history you would know that the only reason Skynyrd didnt sign with Capricorn Records out of Macon Ga. is because Ronnie Van Zant didnt want to be labeled as being like The Allman Brothers Band and seem like they were following in their footsteps although he did admire the band a great deal but those are the facts..You can write back some smug comment if thats what your about but all im doing is trying to honor and respect what Ronnie Van Zant wanted for something he created.And if you wish to make a problem out of it ,do your research first and then you can come back with all that you have to prove us wrong but let me warn you now,you wont only be offending me but the people i have mentioned above will be involved..You might as well work for The Star if you are going to make false statements.I dont care what Kid Rock calls it or anyone else.Although there may be a millions sites labeling them as southern rock but for someone that doesnt know much about them and depend on Wikiepdia to be accurate then the people learing about these great people will know how it really was and hopefully the ones that already think they know all there is to know can come around and learn the truth...check the history thats all i ask...You will be hearing from me soon..do the right thing.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skynyrd77 ( talk • contribs) 07:25, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi Berean
I've got into a mess uploading my images. How to I delete stuff and start again? I'm trying to upload my own original photos - but the file name keeps being changed - the letter "i" at the start of the file name gets changed to an "I" or an "L" (I can't tell which).
Thanks for your help.

Well, I don't know too much about it either (it's a kids show on the Cartoon Network), but his other edits appear to be ok. I only reverted that one because he took out like half the page. Thanks for the tip though. Thingg ⊕ ⊗ 02:07, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Three feet of beer --Outstanding! Happy New Year to you as well! Kresock ( talk) 02:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Berean, Thank you for the holiday greetings. I did finish drinking a Christmas gift, namely part of a growler of "Wee Heavy Under the Kilt" (a high ABV Scotish Ale, although not as high as their "Final Absolution" Belgian Triple) by Dragonmead Brewery, which is one of the finest (maybe the finest, although I have not been to them all) microbrewery in Michigan. May you too have a happy New Year.
In any event, would you please take a look at the template. What I tried to do didn't work out. I lost the display of the Huron Lightship in the box. Maybe you can do this better. Thanks. 7&6=thirteen ( talk) 13:14, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Stan
Thank you for your comment. I thought I properly attributed the information I submitted on sweetgum. My question is this: Was my mistake in the formatting?
I would appreciate any feedback / direction that you might offer.
Thanks again for being gentle with a newcomer.
I enjoyed your photographs - as a forester of 30+ years, I never tire of seeing good nature photography.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed (wrongly) that since it was a USDA Forest Service website that an author citation didn't apply. Will correct in the future.
I did notice the phonograph cabinet reference and almost took it out; I left it as a historical reference; next time I will make that note that "previously was used", etc.
Sweetgum is a very important tree still. It is planted and cultivated for commercial timber purposes in the appropriate sites. That was the impetus for my edit - the previous information led readers to believe it was a trash tree, which is, unfortunately, a commonly-held belief.
It is almost guaranteed that if you have wooden or upholstered furniture in your home, the frames, inner plys of veneers are made of sweetgum and/or yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tuplipfera). Sweetgum lumber, once dried, is extremely stable and will not shrink/swell significantly with humidity changes.
Happy New Year to you and everyone in your beautiful state.

Thx for your input. We had talk but he decided to delete. He has his view and I mine. It is time it was taken out of our hands and decided by neutral third parties. BillMaddock ( talk) 20:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi Berean - sorry to trouble you but I can't get my head around how to create a link between my contributions on 'Shooting Sports' and 'Archery'. What syntax (html code?) do I use to create a hotlink from a word (or phrase) to another of my Wiki contributions? I've looked at the Help section - but I'm still not clear.
