Hey I was wondering why you merged the Dublin article with Norman township. It was under the Michigan wikiproject for things to be done/created and it fits criteria for being unique/of interest because of James Earl Jones being from there.... Strunke 07:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I dont know if you could help me. You would know me user:knowpedia. I have contributed to wikipedia for about 6 months. I enjoy making edits and creating new articles. I recently ran into a group of wikipedians who had it out for me. I AFD a controversial article. From that, a campaign against me began. All involved began reporting that I used vandal proof once (my first time using it), in a manner that disruptive to wikipedia.
They blocked me from editing on wikipedia. The reason stated was vandalism only account. Thats why I came to you. You have come across me in the past. Many of my edits also had been edited by you. I do not deny the vandalism; however it was to user pages who had been using there user pages as way to have some fun at my expense. I did not vandalise wikipedia articles. I would like to be able to use my user:knowpedia account and not create a new one. Please help if you can. Thanks -- 71.10.138.47 07:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I can't help noticing that you don't like a particular succession box that's used in many U. S. Senator articles and have immediately reverted edits when that succession box appears in Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow. While it's a very good idea to keep a close eye on articles to quickly remove vandalism and it's a debatable point whether that particular succession box is necessary, you might want to consider whether you are exercising undue ownership over those two articles. Do others share your opposition to the use of that succession box in those two articles? Thanks. Rickterp 19:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
For a "verifiable source" on Delaware's inclusion in the list of former colonies in the Treaty of Paris, the primary sources would be the US Government's publication of old treaties, _Treaties and Other International Acts of the United States of America_ (Hunter Miller, ed.), published by the US Government Printing Office in 1931. This is the source cited by Yale's Avalon Project, but their etext is wrong in leaving out Delaware, which is between Pennsylvania and Maryland in the original document.
The Wikisource text ( http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Paris_Peace_Treaty), source unfortunately not noted, gets Delaware's inclusion correctly, as does EarlyAmerica.com, quoting an English newspaper from 1783
http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/paris/
This article includes a jpg of the text, and it's not hard to find Delaware listed (article I, almost at the bottom of the column)
http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/paris/1.jpg
This kind of thing presents a difficulty for Wikipedia sourcing, since so many sites have copied the Avalon Project's mistake (which they have not fixed despite being notified by at least two people I know of). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.241.227.35 ( talk) 18:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

Hi again,
After looking at my options, it appears I picked the wrong one for the licensing picture on the Alan Sanborn page... If it becomes an issue beyond being nitpicky (I doubt anyone is going to be upset the picture was used off a public government site, and as I know the Senator personally, he doesn't mind), please feel free to get it from the Senate site and upload it again, tagging it properly. I wasn't sure which one to use. Thanks. Adam 16:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Dammit, I was supposed to reply on *my* talk page. Sorry. I figured you wouldn't see it. Adam 16:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I thought that having persons from a particular US state (Foo) in the 'People from Foo' might be sufficient for history and all other purposes, but maybe not. So similar to the 'People of Foo in the American Civil War' categories that I created, I am thinking of creating the following: 'People of F00 in the American Revolution' and 'People of colonial F00', both of which would be subcategories of both 'People from F00' and 'History of F00'. Any given person could be in both categories if they were prominent in both periods. Persons would be removed from the 'People from Foo' category itself unless they were also prominent after the Revolution (this is how it seems to be with the persons in 'People of Foo in the American Civil War' category. What do you think? Thanks Hmains 03:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Census-designated place(CDP) and Unincorporated area (UA) are not the same.
Read the history of Swartz Creek, Michigan formerly Miller Settlement and how names of the local and Post office can differ. One part of Swartz Creek, Otterburn is still designated as a location (see above link). The Swartz Creek P.O. does deliver into Clayton, Gaines, Flint and Mundy Townships.
CDP and UA are general speaking apples and oranges just sharing the same name. So in regards to your "repair intro" edits of Argentine, Michigan, Beecher, Michigan and Lake Fenton, Michigan are not repairing anything and just confusing the two. In some respects, CDP and the UA articles should be seperate articles but there has been procedure to include Michigan unincorporated communities with in the Township as there isn't much to say about them. With the CDPs and UAs sharing names, they seem to be sharing an article in a similar manner to the non-CDP UAs in the Township's articles. For example the Beecher, Michigan CDP if you read the Beecher article, Genesee Township, Michigan and Mount Morris Township, Michigan indicate that the CDP goes into Genesee Township while the Beecher UA is sole within Mt. Morris Township. While my edits may not be the greatest way to go, these don't muck the articles up. I am open to other ways to change the article but the way those article were is not correct.

Hi Bkonrad. A little puzzled by your comments and actions in reversing the various David Stuart moves and dabs.
I can see that your apparent concern is that most of the existing links to David Stuart intend the politician- however, when I did the move of the dab pg David Stuart was at that time just a redirect to David Stuart (disambiguation) (and not a redirect to David Stuart (politician)). As the only other links to David Stuart (disambiguation) were in the hatnotes and there was no 'main' article at David Stuart itself, it made evident sense for the disambig to appear at the page where the ambiguous links actually pointed to, and not a redirect to a dab page.
I did set about fixing the links in the hatnotes, but as for example I was not 100% sure that the Col. David Stuart mentioned at Battle of Shiloh was one and the same as the politician, I hadn't progressed any further without doing some more looking up (possible ambiguous links intending the Mayanist have been fixed up previously by myself and others even before that article had been created, which is why there are none such which point to the dab page now).
I probably should have perservered, or examined the edit histories in more detail to ascertain that someone (you it seems) had previously changed the David Stuart redirect to point at the politician's article, but then another editor had since changed it to point to the (disambiguation) page. Then again, perhaps for the same amount of effort it took to set everything back the way it was, the handful of remaining ambiguous links could have been resolved.
Anyway I don't suppose it matters all that much at the moment if the remaining links to David Stuart intend the politician. I've run out of time do rearrange things for today, but unless someone else does I will later on move the disambig sense back, and fix the remaining dablinks.

Have you read WP:TRIV? That explains much better than I can what should be done with trivia sections. CovenantD 21:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Oh, and {{toomuchtrivia}} is just the name of the template; the wording itself now more accurately reflects the guideline and makes no mention of "too much" (which I agree is too subjective). CovenantD
I'm writing to suggest that the "naturalized citizen" cat be restored to the article on James McMillan. I'd do so myself, but as a user new to editing I'm not sure how and I've noticed that you removed it once and I wanted to avoid stepping on anyone's toes.
McMillan was born in Canada to parents of Scottish birth. I'm not sure if they were naturalized Canadian citizens or still Scottish citizens, but they were not American citizens and therefor McMillan could not have been born a US citizen. Since he later became a US Senator, he must have become a naturalized citizen at some point, though I admittedly have no idea when.
I hope that this is helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sdonlin ( talk • contribs) 19:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC).

In the past you have revert the page template:Infobox city. You destroyed the category:UTC-5. Recently you done the same and have removed an important part from this template. You have diminished the quality of wikipedia by removing valid information from the category
category:Cities in the UTC timezone. Your last edit destroyed the
category:Cities in the UTC-5 timezone.
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to
template:Infobox city. Your edits appear to constitute
vandalism and have been
reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the
