I want to clarify my comments first by clearly stating that I think you are doing a great job of adding information to Wikipedia. I always encourage helpful contributions such as you have done. Okay, the situation is the scope of Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected areas. Basically, protected areas are areas that are both recognized and maintained by a government entity. The Feds, states and possibly county and city levels are what the project covers. Areas listed as being on the National Register of Historic Places are not included by the scope of the project unless they are managed and maintained by a government entity. For areas in the state of Florida, I see you have created a large number of stub articles that are not government managed or maintained. There is a discussion here and here regarding this situation. So I propose a solution which I see you are quite capable of. Create a Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places...and you can create your own infobox, detailing it to fit the parameters of the project, and request we can get 50 stub templates developed, one for each state. Some helpful tips on how to create a project can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject and at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide I'm asking you to comment on the two "here" links provided and to help us figure out the best solution as the Protected areas project is mainly geared to government managed areas worldwide...I suppose this gives you an opportunity to be the creator of a project and that's pretty decent. Let me know your thoughts on this issue as I am going to start taking the stub template out of non government articles in a day or two.-- MONGO 07:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Wow...you're pretty squared away... [1]...follow the links on the wikiproject development and get the National historic places project(or whatever you name it) commenced and I'll be glad to join. I then think you should go back to the stub category folks and ask to have stubs created. It is necessary to get them to "approve" this as I found out when I created a stub link outside of consensus when I developed the Wikipedia:WikiProject Glaciers. If you need assitance, let me know on my talk page.-- MONGO 05:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I've never heard the term Donkey shins before, but after diligent research (on WebMD ;) I found it isn't contagious. A reply in kind might be: "Don't touch your mustache" (do itashimashite - the only phrase I've ever learned in Japanese): You're welcome! Let me know what I can do to help.
Do you mind if I add a line of text to the "NHP list" template to provide information for new people who tackle the work on these lists? P.S. A proposal was made a while ago to create an entire Portal for all this information. There certainly are enough articles (after all the DABs are located). The feedback was for a more international subject. There does seem to be numerous articles about Category:Cultural heritage which could include NHPs and other nations. — Dogears ( talk · contribs) 00:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

What an incredible achievement that you so quickly and excellently created the Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places...so the least I can do is award you this...

I award you this barnstar for your diligent editing of Wikipedia-- MONGO 05:05, 20 October 2006 (UTC) |
Bravo! Katr67 06:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Gracias. I go for quality I guess, mostly. Anyway, thanks for those other edits on the disambig page, I will ensure I check the links from now on, I just forget a lot. A mcmurray 19:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that lovely new TOC! I was dreading it... Katr67 22:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments (which I only just noticed -- pesky unusable watchlist...). Did you have a preference on the category name for the "geographical" one? "... geography stubs", or "District stubs", or anything else? Alai 22:02, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken. Thank you. -- NE2 16:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ryan-as-valmont.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 00:50, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ryan-as-valmont.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

Pls note my edits to Talk:Fort Nisqually and Talk:Fort Hall; I haven't yet found out if you've placed the military history tag/template on other fur trade forts, but please be advised to read the article before putting the military history template on them; SOME such as Fort Vancouver did become US military installations after the Oregon Treaty, but other than being palisaded for self-defence (protection of company stock) they were not military in any usual sense. Fort Langley's cannon, for instance, were used once or twice to repel hostile natives, but no military were housed on the premises until 1858; likewise everywhere else (there were no military in BC until 1858). South of the line I'm not sure whether Umpqua and other HBC forts there became militarized after annexation by the US; just read the article each time to save future template deletions from being necessary.

Just wanted to say excellent work on your articles about Registered Historic Places in Florida. I'm glad to see that there's a WikiProject dedicated to them - I half-thought of suggesting on myself (and then I remembered that I don't have the time for it.)
Keep up the good work! -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 21:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 00:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I was wondering if you could explain why you have replaced the Protected Area Infobox with the NHRP infobox in a number of U.S. National Park System Articles? Myself along with some other users are nearing completion on a project to standardize all NPS articles with the Protected Area infobox and it is rather frustrating to see some of the infoboxes removed and replaced with a different one. Thank you. -- Nebular110 23:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I see that all your edits are marked minor, apparently by default. Please edit your preferences so that this is not the case. In the "editing" part, there is a line - "Mark all edits minor by default". Just uncheck it, and then reserve marking your edits as minor when they really are minor. -- Fyslee 19:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I see you've started a disambiguation page at Christ Episcopal Church - but a couple of points. First, the aim of a disambiguation page is to allow the reader to find the correct article from among similarly-named ones; but nearly all the items on this page have no links at all - see Wikipedia:Manual of Style for the rules. They ought to be removed unless/until the articles exist.
Second, when naming articles on churches, the convention is to use commas when including locations to disambiguate the article name - that is, use 'Christ Episcopal Church, Aspen' rather than 'Christ Episcopal Church (Colorado)'. See Christ Church or St. Peter's Church for examples.
Specifically on Christ Episcopal Church, the disambiguating entries (where there is an article) could more usefully simply appear on Christ Church, especially as the church's (for example, Aspen's) own website often simply refers to itself as 'Christ Church' -- Disambiguator 00:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Good evening. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays, date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.
By the same token, we should not be adding Category:Date of birth missing to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. Category:Year of birth missing is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. Rossami (talk) 05:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

. Piping the category link causes the biography to be properly alphabetized on the Category page. Please keep it in mind as you go forward. Thanks.
