Thanks for your good work on the above article. I'm surprised we haven't met before. I do a lot of work on school articles, mostly bloat reduction like you've done here. I agree it needs much more. The history section is puzzling. It seems like it would be better in the district's or the community's article. And I will be cutting the athletic section much further. Happy editing!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Kent State Golden Flashes men's basketball seasons, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Jim McDonald and Harry Adams. 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 apologize for taking so long to respond to your comment on the talk page. In theory, I agree with you on the changes that should be done, but I also think that changing all of the info on the page over to their own pages shouldn't be handled by just one or two people, or at the very least should be considered a long-term project. Also, if the decision is made to turn the past conferences list into their own separate pages, it might not be a bad idea to have a statewide template that would go on the bottom of every conference's page, then you can open that and move between conferences (Indiana has a template like this, and it does come in pretty handy). This is all just my two cents, as long as the research I come up with (and I realize I'll have to re-find the sources for a lot of the past conference pages) doesn't just get dumped, then whatever the consensus is with how to run the pages is fine with me.

hey just wanted to let you know this is not true, and there's no citation/source. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Brigham_Young_University%E2%80%93Idaho&action=history
and you dont go to either of these schools
reply on my talk page thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:585:A101:FD0E:7055:A104:C00E ( talk) 21:55, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
2605:A601:585:A101:FD0E:7055:A104:C00E ( talk · contribs), I replied on your talk page, but just FYI, going to a school doesn't really matter in terms of being able to verify information. In this instance, though, I actually did attend BYU-Idaho (as seen on my user page) for three years and frequently dealt with approved housing and the school's housing policies. Even so, I was able to find the housing page fairly quickly and posted a link on your page and in the article. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 22:35, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
you wrote a lot
anyway, "Approved" seems different from byu contracted, and unsure if byu-i has a specific contract as well
also you shouldve just source the article instead of giving me a link — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:585:A101:FD0E:7055:A104:C00E ( talk) 19:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
I apologize for having taken months to essentially ignore talk:Cincinnati (or Cincinnati, for that matter), and thereby, in effect, having had not replied or even acknowledged your generously detailed reply to my reply, at the time when I rather hotly pointed out the suburban ATP/WTA tennis in the Cincinnati lede, etcetera. With the benefit of cooling down and letting things be, I have now a couple of observations to make about your edits. Yes, your edits, not mine. ;)
I think that had you not merely removed text from the article where I spent my labors on, but actually thought to transfer it to the article Greater Cincinnati (I realize, having visited it for the first time ever, that it is only a redirect to essentially a botic entity of a skeletal demographics kind ;), and not the carefully tended Wikigarden of "prosodic" human contributions), our nascent collaboration on Wikipedia as Ohioans and editors of stuff we both find ourselves editing, Ohio connections being immaterial, would have taken a more fulfilling and cooperative turn. However, your pointed remark about being willing to go through Cincinnati and remove all remaining out-of-scope content that belongs to Greater Cincinnati — only amplifies in my mind my label of "selective deletionism" I implied to saddle your edits with, as your just deserts. I am bringing this back as a reproach, because Greater Cincinnati was then and remains now an abject absence of article, if you get my plaint.
Please consider making amends, and then we will be golden. I remain respectfully yours, Your Marek. Mareklug talk 11:12, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

I see you added several categories to National Register of Historic Places listings in Portage County, Ohio by hand. An even better way is to add an NRHP template to the commons category with the reference number ( NRHP template on Commons), see the one I did for your Mantua_Center_School category. That allows a bot to add the category to this list: Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Missing commons category links, where someone (often user:TheCatalyst31 but can be anyone) will add it to the list using a semi automated tool ( User:Dudemanfellabra/AddCommonsCatLinks). You can still add the commonscat by hand in the county list, but using the commons NRHP template in the category will also allow other interlinking feats in the future (or it may already do so, I'm not an expert). Generic1139 ( talk) 15:09, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I just noticed that a year-and-a-half ago the information about the cancelled Ohio State Route 435 in the Kent vicinity was removed due to being "likely unverifiable", probably because the commons graphics supporting it had been removed/deleted earlier. I'm letting you know since you probably can find the verification necessary fairly easily. I'd contact the user who originally added all of the info, but that person appears to have retired from WP without actually declaring it. Mapsax ( talk) 12:45, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I've went ahead and split the info on this page into regions as well, following the current conferences ideal. I do have a couple of issues I would appreciate your input on. First, while I can edit a map to illustrate the regions easily, I'm debating what to do with counties on the Central Region periphery. I've included schools from Marion County in the Central Region and am fine with that decision to balance the pages out, I'm not sure what to do with Fairfield and Pickaway counties. While sake of geographic fairness they would be in with the Central schools, the lack of conferences in the East/Southeast regions would hint they should probably end up there.
My second issue is whether to list the former conferences in the main article (like on the current conferences article), or to just list the counties in the region (like I do currently). My main concern is that we would end up with an extremely long page listing conferences (similar to the problem we had before), since we now have 100 conferences in the defunct section, with many more to be added. Any input you have is greatly appreciated. Mtndrums ( talk) 07:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
As for county placement, after looking at what conferences I have to still be entered into the list, I've decided to stick with putting Fairfield and Pickaway in the Southeast, since almost all of their current schools are in that region. Virtually all of the split counties are from having one school (ie; Marion, Lancaster, Vermilion, etc.) being in a conference with a neighboring region, so they get included in that region. I also think that sticking with placing a conference where most of its members resided would be best, just to eliminate redundancy, though I'll place a note that members on the edges of a region may have participated in conferences in other regions. If someone else would want to go through those conferences and paste them into other pages, that's perfectly ok, but I've got enough on my plate with putting what I have saved on here, as well as getting needed links.
