How's the library business? You'll see that I flicked a crumb off the surface of that Châteauesque article, which you seem to have adopted, in your legendary fashion. D is damn near halfway through law school and honing her skills on "Litigation: the Home Game", but still retains some reassuring gaps in her knowledge. It's growing colder at night and Portland around Homecoming looks like a Norman Rockwell autumn, achingly photogenic, if you can picture a Norman Rockwell autumn peopled by whippet-thin hepcats with sideburns, tattooed piercings and heavy black-frame glasses. Life is rich and strange. There are actually adult kickball leagues up here. Hope you're well, truly. -- Lockley ( talk) 08:03, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

It seems to me that the list of significant fountains would work better as a table. I, for one, want to be able to see an image of each and be able to compare them. If you agree, I'll start it. == BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 16:17, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

We have talked about it, more than 2 years ago. I know it's not why you brought it up, but I intended to visit the PMA library to see if they have a full list of the sculptors. (Which I expect they do.) My Eakins scholar works at PMA (and is a delightful luncheon companion). She's urged me to come down, but I haven't been there in about 3 years.

Thanks for uploading File:Printers mark on Muskegon Chronicle Building.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 05:06, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I think you'll enjoy reading some of the comments to the article in The Atlantic. [6] Several commenters appear to be academics, and some share my opinion of Yale: "On the one hand I like the neo-gothic look, depending on the specific building of course, on the other hand you do get the sense that a campus like Yale is a "Hollywood version of Oxbridge," as I've always said to myself strolling around campuses at my many conference sites." Ignoring the conservative trolls, the biggest gripe seemed to be the author's attempt to directly link Collegiate Gothic to racism. == BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 12:27, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

The road trip for mural images was successful. Not as extensive as we had planned, but still a great opportunity to visit "small town America". We planned to do 20, but got to about 8 (I think). I wasn't always happy with the i-Phone images (and I should have brought along a step-stool) but something is better than nothing. Hope all is well with you, my friend. TC. .

@ User talk:Bishonen. The thread is "The next day...". 216.80.117.134 ( talk) 14:39, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Follow the Moderne architecture link that you gave me, and you'll see my answer :-) In short, it's a partial name for the Streamline Moderne style. User:Doncram, obsessed about creating things with names exactly as the National Register of Historic Places named them, created a "Moderne architecture" tree that was distinct from the "Streamline Moderne architecture" tree, even though the two are simply slightly-different names for the same topic. See the final section of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 March 21 for another situation of this sort, due to the same predilection by the same editor. So...basically, "Moderne architecture" was only applied to US locations, since the National Register doesn't worry about non-US locations, and buildings of this style will go into Category:Streamline Moderne architecture and its subcategories.
Not sure how to write the above without sounding brusque, but I'm not trying to sound that way, so please don't think I'm annoyed! Nyttend ( talk) 05:01, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:AZ Republic story, Jan 18, 2015.pdf, which you've attributed to Arizona Republic. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Reggie Young, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Down in the Boondocks. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just stumbled upon your page and your name aroused my curiosity. Since high school, I never hear the slang term "carp" in reference to a person. In my high school days in 1992 Portland, OR, some my peers referred to the cigarette smokers and edgy students as "carps". I haven't been able to determine if this was a minicultural use of slang isolated to my school, region, or generation, etc., but I did find one historical reference [1]. I've been unsuccessful in efforts to determine any commonality in modern use. Sorry if this comes across as unsavory, I am simply curious if you've ever encountered this use of the term.
Thanks for listening and for your contribution to wikipedia. -- Webavant ( talk) 01:33, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Carptrash,
I work for the organization in question, Mercy-USA for Aid and Development and need to make it clear that Mercy International and Mercy-USA for Aid and Development are, and always have been two separate entities unrelated to each other in all ways. Mercy-USA for Aid and Development has no ties to terrorism, and disputes, with facts every line in the "controversies" section that you kindly deleted.
The source cited for those falsehoods are from a discredited "terrorism expert" , Steven Emerson whose website, Investigative Project on Terrorism is highly biased, inflammatory and inaccurate to say the least.
I'm including just a few references on him for your review.
Mercy-USA is NOT the same organization as the defunct Mercy International and we have retractions from media in the past who have confused Mercy-USA for Aid and Development with the defunct Mercy International.
Mercy-USA is a vetted 501c3 charity with the United States Government and the United Nations. You can see our affiliations here: [5]
We are a 4-star charity on Charity Navigator, [6]
Earlier today, in the live chat I provided quite a few media links to our work were we are recommended as a trusted partner in charity to the many countries we work in around the world.
This erroneous wiki page could do great undeserved harm to our organization's reputation among donors. We need to have the name Mercy International removed from any page that references the work of Mercy-USA for Aid and Development.
Please let me know what else I can do to correct this grievous error.

Thank you Einar,
I apologize for the novice messaging, as I am new here.
I'm including the same references, properly coded, (I hope) in case you need them plus quite a few media references to Mercy-USA's work in the last year from mainstream media.
Mercy-USA is NOT the same organization as the defunct Mercy International and we have retractions from media in the past who have confused Mercy-USA for Aid and Development with the defunct Mercy International.

Charitable organizations don't typically get in-depth reporting on their work simply because any newspaper would have a dozen other competing charities hammering on their door the next day for equal coverage. With that said, Mercy-USA for Aid and Development has been included on some very prestigious lists of vetted and reliable charities on mainstream media like CNN, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor and smaller regional publications in places around the world where we work. I'm referencing a few of those, including the US State Department below to further emphasize our legitimacy and 100% transparency in all things related to our work.
Thank you for your kind attention to clearing up this matter. KariAnsari ( talk) 19:57, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for contacting me. I was writing on the talk page for the article, and have stopped to reply to you. Please see my comments on the talk page. This is a serious problem. I will change the name in the article, but I don't know how to move a page, and don't want to try it without your permission. Thanks Tribe of Tiger ( talk)
Thanks for moving the page, and for the DIY instructions! What to do about the 'trash-terrorist-talk" on the talk page? If this was a BLP, it would be hidden from view. Don't know if this standard applies to an organization, but it seems as if it should. Let me know your thoughts. Tribe of Tiger ( talk)
Thanks for taking care of the talk page for Mercy. I have a question about these articles: [7] [8]. They seem to have just appeared, there's no info in the history about being reviewed, etc. Also, the http address doesn't look like other articles. There are 4 more like this, (no "history") from the same user. Thanks for your help! Tribe of Tiger ( talk) 21:07, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
As a newbie, I have AfC on the brain. After reading your msg, I had an "ah-ha" moment--"new page patrol". I share your feelings regarding plagiarism and proper attribution. Good footnotes and reliable sources are essential, IMHO. As I like to read footnotes, and check the sources, I will continue updating articles as I find them. Thanks for making my first Wikipedia interaction a positive and supportive experience!-- Tribe of Tiger ( talk) 19:24, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Carptrash. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. I'm trying to write to editors I imagine could be interested in the gender gap issue. Many thanks, -- Kenzia ( talk) 15:07, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

Hello, I am not sure why you reverted my edit on Ernie Harwell's page. That entire section was added about a week and a half ago by someone whose only edit was that, and is completely full of rubbish sentences like "This was the beginning of his inspirational career," " Harwell has been respected by the players, beloved by the fans, and he has had a lasting impact on the world of baseball," and "To many people he was a famous just like Babe Ruth and many more! Many people would mute the television, and turned up the radios and listened to Harwell." If you really feel this adds encyclopedic value to his page, by all means.

Great. Good for Bloomington (which needs a photographer like you).

There are great used bookstores here. I stopped by one Tuesday to pick up Walker Hancock's autobiography, but it had been sold. I'll order a copy online when I get home. Another store was having a 25%-off sale, but when I got to its warehouse today I found that in-store purchases were 50% off. So I bought a lot.

Hey I wanted to ask you a tangentially related question based on the talk page discussion over at Talk:Black Supremacy. I've been on Wikipedia for a while now and have yet to come across an article explaining the "red" vs "blue" (or other color) distinction between editors' handles. Does a user's handle stay red until they populate their user page with content, or is there another source for the difference? Thanks! JordanGero ( talk) 21:30, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

I've discovered that one of your pictures of Gettysburg appears in Hallowed Ground: A Walk at Gettysburg (illustrated edition) by James M. McPherson, he of the Pulitzer and Battle Cry of Freedom. File:11th PA Infantry monument.jpg appears on p.45. A cropped version of Smallbones's File:Gettysburg mon 72nd Penna Inf.JPG appears on p. 169. One of mine, File:90th Penna Infantry Monument Gettysburg PA1.jpg (cropped) appears on p. 81. The illustrated version was published in 2015.

This is the only warning you will receive for using inflammatory, derogatory, or racist language.
Using inflammatory, derogatory, or racist language outside of a purely encyclopedic context is considered
vandalism. Please review this policy before posting again. If you use inflammatory, derogatory, or racist language on Wikipedia in violation of this policy again, as you did to
Talk:Black supremacy, you will be
blocked from editing without further notice.
The RfC on Black supremacy appears to be a WP:Deadhorse--let it die. Judging by the comment directed at you by the IP editor, the article seems to attract less than mainstream opinions. Will be interesting to see the RfC close, but at least the article itself is in reasonably good shape. K.e.coffman ( talk) 06:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

It linked to the disambiguation page for Leda. I considered changing it to Leda (mythology) at the time, but that seemed a bit generic and didn't actually provide any information particular to the sculpture itself, (which would also apply to Erzia's "Leda".)

Hello, Carptrash.

How's the library business? You'll see that I flicked a crumb off the surface of that Châteauesque article, which you seem to have adopted, in your legendary fashion. D is damn near halfway through law school and honing her skills on "Litigation: the Home Game", but still retains some reassuring gaps in her knowledge. It's growing colder at night and Portland around Homecoming looks like a Norman Rockwell autumn, achingly photogenic, if you can picture a Norman Rockwell autumn peopled by whippet-thin hepcats with sideburns, tattooed piercings and heavy black-frame glasses.

Thanks for uploading File:Printers mark on Muskegon Chronicle Building.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

I think you'll enjoy reading some of the comments to the article in The Atlantic. [6] Several commenters appear to be academics, and some share my opinion of Yale: "On the one hand I like the neo-gothic look, depending on the specific building of course, on the other hand you do get the sense that a campus like Yale is a "Hollywood version of Oxbridge," as I've always said to myself strolling around campuses at my many conference sites." Ignoring the conservative trolls, the biggest gripe seemed to be the author's attempt to directly link Collegiate Gothic to racism. == BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 12:27, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

The road trip for mural images was successful. Not as extensive as we had planned, but still a great opportunity to visit "small town America". We planned to do 20, but got to about 8 (I think).

@ User talk:Bishonen. The thread is "The next day...". 216.80.117.134 ( talk) 14:39, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Follow the Moderne architecture link that you gave me, and you'll see my answer :-) In short, it's a partial name for the Streamline Moderne style. User:Doncram, obsessed about creating things with names exactly as the National Register of Historic Places named them, created a "Moderne architecture" tree that was distinct from the "Streamline Moderne architecture" tree, even though the two are simply slightly-different names for the same topic. See the final section of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 March 21 for another situation of this sort, due to the same predilection by the same editor. So...basically, "Moderne architecture" was only applied to US locations, since the National Register doesn't worry about non-US locations, and buildings of this style will go into Category:Streamline Moderne architecture and its subcategories.
Not sure how to write the above without sounding brusque, but I'm not trying to sound that way, so please don't think I'm annoyed! Nyttend ( talk) 05:01, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Johnny Burke.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Verita Bouvaire-Thompson is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Verita Bouvaire-Thompson until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Onel5969 TT me 01:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Just stumbled upon your page and your name aroused my curiosity. Since high school, I never hear the slang term "carp" in reference to a person. In my high school days in 1992 Portland, OR, some my peers referred to the cigarette smokers and edgy students as "carps". I haven't been able to determine if this was a minicultural use of slang isolated to my school, region, or generation, etc., but I did find one historical reference [1]. I've been unsuccessful in efforts to determine any commonality in modern use. Sorry if this comes across as unsavory, I am simply curious if you've ever encountered this use of the term.
Thanks for listening and for your contribution to wikipedia. -- Webavant ( talk) 01:33, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Carptrash,
I work for the organization in question, Mercy-USA for Aid and Development and need to make it clear that Mercy International and Mercy-USA for Aid and Development are, and always have been two separate entities unrelated to each other in all ways. Mercy-USA for Aid and Development has no ties to terrorism, and disputes, with facts every line in the "controversies" section that you kindly deleted.
The source cited for those falsehoods are from a discredited "terrorism expert" , Steven Emerson whose website, Investigative Project on Terrorism is highly biased, inflammatory and inaccurate to say the least.
I'm including just a few references on him for your review.
Mercy-USA is NOT the same organization as the defunct Mercy International and we have retractions from media in the past who have confused Mercy-USA for Aid and Development with the defunct Mercy International.
Mercy-USA is a vetted 501c3 charity with the United States Government and the United Nations. You can see our affiliations here: [5]
We are a 4-star charity on Charity Navigator, [6]
Earlier today, in the live chat I provided quite a few media links to our work were we are recommended as a trusted partner in charity to the many countries we work in around the world.
This erroneous wiki page could do great undeserved harm to our organization's reputation among donors. We need to have the name Mercy International removed from any page that references the work of Mercy-USA for Aid and Development.
Please let me know what else I can do to correct this grievous error.

Charitable organizations don't typically get in-depth reporting on their work simply because any newspaper would have a dozen other competing charities hammering on their door the next day for equal coverage. With that said, Mercy-USA for Aid and Development has been included on some very prestigious lists of vetted and reliable charities on mainstream media like CNN, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor and smaller regional publications in places around the world where we work. I'm referencing a few of those, including the US State Department below to further emphasize our legitimacy and 100% transparency in all things related to our work.

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

Hello, I am not sure why you reverted my edit on Ernie Harwell's page. That entire section was added about a week and a half ago by someone whose only edit was that, and is completely full of rubbish sentences like "This was the beginning of his inspirational career," " Harwell has been respected by the players, beloved by the fans, and he has had a lasting impact on the world of baseball," and "To many people he was a famous just like Babe Ruth and many more! Many people would mute the television, and turned up the radios and listened to Harwell." If you really feel this adds encyclopedic value to his page, by all means.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alice Kindler, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Germantown, Pennsylvania. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I am honored to present you with this Teamwork barnstar for your assisting another editor in improving the article User:Buster7's List of Women Mural artists. Collaborative editing is a hallmark of Wikipedia, and is one of the surest ways to retain editors and to make Wikipedia a better place... and you have done both. Thank you, Buster Seven Talk 09:39, 6 May 2016 (UTC) |
I agree that the lawsuit was a big deal, I just don't think the quote is real. It didn't seem believable to me and when I googled the phrase in quotes the only result was the Wikipedia page. If you know of another source for the quote, I apologize - please add it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Puzzlemap ( talk • contribs) 02:07, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

That sounds great! Good for you. If you come anywhere near D.C., please let me know. I'm going to be babysitting my teenaged nieces (May 24 - June 5) while my sister and brother-in-law take a 25th anniversary trip to Europe. == BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 02:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Great. Good for Bloomington (which needs a photographer like you).
I'm in "Bye-Bye Birdie"-land. Babysitting 2 teenaged girls. A slumber party tonight (and thru the weekend?), and another next weekend. Oy.
There are great used bookstores here. I stopped by one Tuesday to pick up Walker Hancock's autobiography, but it had been sold. I'll order a copy online when I get home. Another store was having a 25%-off sale, but when I got to its warehouse today I found that in-store purchases were 50% off. So I bought a lot. My nieces spend a lot of time in their rooms with social media (I sometimes see them at meals), so I have lots of time to read. Hope you're well. == Best, BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 21:38, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Hey I wanted to ask you a tangentially related question based on the talk page discussion over at Talk:Black Supremacy. I've been on Wikipedia for a while now and have yet to come across an article explaining the "red" vs "blue" (or other color) distinction between editors' handles. Does a user's handle stay red until they populate their user page with content, or is there another source for the difference? Thanks! JordanGero ( talk) 21:30, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

I've discovered that one of your pictures of Gettysburg appears in Hallowed Ground: A Walk at Gettysburg (illustrated edition) by James M. McPherson, he of the Pulitzer and Battle Cry of Freedom. File:11th PA Infantry monument.jpg appears on p.45. A cropped version of Smallbones's File:Gettysburg mon 72nd Penna Inf.JPG appears on p. 169. One of mine, File:90th Penna Infantry Monument Gettysburg PA1.jpg (cropped) appears on p. 81. The illustrated version was published in 2015. Images are more or less properly credited, one could quibble about compliance with CC-by-SA text requirements. Acroterion (talk) 00:31, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Actually, it's thanks to Category:Davy Crockett that he and a few others slipped in there - I'm working on weeding them out. Thanks for spotting; I hadn't realized there were any categories for individual members of the U.S. House. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 08:14, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I found a source that implies that Pollia created the monument for Babe Ruth's grave. I wonder if it's accurate. == BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 19:28, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
This is the only warning you will receive for using inflammatory, derogatory, or racist language.
Using inflammatory, derogatory, or racist language outside of a purely encyclopedic context is considered
vandalism. Please review this policy before posting again. If you use inflammatory, derogatory, or racist language on Wikipedia in violation of this policy again, as you did to
Talk:Black supremacy, you will be
blocked from editing without further notice.
The RfC on Black supremacy appears to be a WP:Deadhorse--let it die. Judging by the comment directed at you by the IP editor, the article seems to attract less than mainstream opinions. Will be interesting to see the RfC close, but at least the article itself is in reasonably good shape. K.e.coffman ( talk) 06:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

It linked to the disambiguation page for Leda. I considered changing it to Leda (mythology) at the time, but that seemed a bit generic and didn't actually provide any information particular to the sculpture itself, (which would also apply to Erzia's "Leda".) I can send it there if you prefer. Mannanan51 ( talk) 13:11, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Carptrash. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Paula Zima.jpg — was tagged with {{ OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.
If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 14:41, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Not any more, I didn't. Thanks for the tip. :-) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 17:50, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
Could you please license the photograph so that it is not deleted? Thanks. Magog the Ogre ( t • c) 00:04, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
