I am impressed, although confused, by your extensive recategorization of archaeological sites by state. I applaud the addition of the state-level categories, but isn't it more productive to retain both categories instead of replacing the general US Archaeological sites with the state category? After all, archaeological sites don't stop being within the US just because they are in Florida. I've followed you about adding the US Sites category back in to many of the sites, although not all. Is there a reason to drop the US Category? If so, shouldn't the category just be deleted? TriNotch 08:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Check U.S. Post Office, its an obvious dab page, but has an uncat tag and the last edit summary was something like this isn't a dab page. Thusly, I am confused. IvoShandor 13:15, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
What more is there to say about Contributing property, any ideas? I was thinking it might be a good short GA, I just did a major revision/copy edit/cleanup. What do you think? IvoShandor 10:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Would you mind doing an assessment on Central Park West Historic District and its related properties that are linked on the list, some I started some I didn't but I will be working to clean them all up. Incidentally, as I improve this pretty cool, kinda interactive List of properties (Central Park West Historic District) I was thinking of eventually taking it to featured lists. IvoShandor 10:28, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Borrow away, I borrowed it from List of Pennsylvania state parks, I stumbled across it in peer review. Ideally we could set up all our lists to be like that. IvoShandor 15:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Since you always seem interested, in the Register and such this is an update of where I am at in regards to it and the project as I haven't been active in that area lately. The reason being I am concentrating on bringing Rock Springs Massacre up to FA, its almost there and ready to be nominated soon. If you have time do take a look and let me know if you have any critical commentary to assist.
As for the project. You probably saw National Register of Historic Places got GA, it will need work to reach FA, after Rock Springs I plan to do that work. Historic district is still awaiting GA review. [{Contributing property]] is probably close to GA. That will cover our main articles, my two other big projects are Central Park West Historic District and its contributing members and Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District (still in user space). I have gathered a couple of NYC photographers to shoot buildings for CPW and there are several dozen photos available from HABS as well, which will be useful for Commons galleries. I will be shooting the Frank Lloyd Wright stuff myself. I just got a great new book which gives details about almost every building he ever designed, great source. IvoShandor 19:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{
prod}}" template to the article
Jefferson County Courthouse, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I just picked up the following:
I highly recommend all three. In addition, The Field Guide to American Houses has a more recent (1998) companion which I am simply pining for, A Field Guide to America's Historic Neighborhoods and Museum Houses ( ISBN 9780679425694). Oh yes, it will be mine. I think I am funny, remember that? IvoShandor 14:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Interferencei.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
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 uploaded after 4 May, 2007, and 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. ( ESkog)( Talk) 20:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I am about ready to take this article to FAC pending copy editing, if you are any of your Floridian friends would assist I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. IvoShandor 12:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I don't know that it is the same person, but I agree that those articles have been spammed daily with unsourced, borderline irrelevant claims, resulting in multiple reversions. So I have semi-protected them both. Redux 03:45, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
The situation of reverting the dates and streaks stuff, by User talk:Ron liebman and his IP address sockpuppets, is turning into a daily game, and it's getting annoying. Wahkeenah 16:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Man! That is crazy. What a mean person, vandalizing baseball articles and abusing you, they should be slapped, hard. Yeah, I dunno, maybe I will have to rethink that admin thing. ; ) IvoShandor 21:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
First, you're driving me nuts with that "New Messages" banner on your page. I reckon that's the idea. :) OK, you're right, a little bit of good news, indeed. Now we'll see if he backs off or if he persists via IP addresses or whatever. I would just as soon not stir the pot with the SABR folks if I don't have to. But we'll see. The sad part is, some of his stat stuff that he was trying to add today could be legitimate. But as I said in the reverting edit summary, at this point we are forced to assume any edits of his are vandalism. :( Wahkeenah 23:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I want to thank you for your recent help assessing China-related articles for WP:CHINA. However, I do have one request: could you rate the importance of the article at the same time that you rate the quality? Just use the "importance=" parameter. (see Template:WPCHINA for more info) That way, I don't have to go back and rate the importance of those articles. Thanks again for your help.-- Danaman5 04:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
