AWESOME! Love the new "double" map. That is exactly what I was wanting. Great work! - NeutralHomer • Talk • 17:01, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Well, looks like Parkwells is out. He has lost interest in the page and has decided to work on other things. Kind of a disappointment as he was doing a good job. I did find a potential replacement for Park in User:Wehwalt. He has several featured articles, front page articles, and DYKs under his belt, plus 2 Four Awards. He said he would take a look at the page in "a few days".
I honestly don't think anything else needs any work except that history section. That is kinda the big problem at the moment. Once we get that out of the way and any little fixups around the other sections, I hope to take it back to GAR, where I have already been told by another user that it is GA material. :) I really don't know what I will do once it gets GA status. I don't know what the next step is to A Status. The big question is does it really need that much work to get A or even FA status? But don't want to get ahead of myself. Just wanted to give you that tidbit of information on the new editor on the page, so keep your eyes open for edits on the page. :) Take Care.... NeutralHomer • Talk • 06:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Well, as far as I know, it doesn't need to be GA to get FA. I saw a GAN get pulled with the rationale "This is more FA material" by the nominator and it was still rated as "B" class. I thought about doing that with the Kent article, especially since it has almost 180 sources, but wanted it to go through the GAN process to see how that went and see what suggestions and comments would be made. There are definitely things we miss in editing an article extensively that other editors can pick up on. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 23:13, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
With your help, together we brought the Stephens City, Virginia article to Good Article status. May I be the first to award you the following userbox and thank you for helping me on this article. I look forward to working with you in the future as I move the article closer to Featured Article status.

Hello, I am awaiting an official peer review, but was told by a FAC delegate to get as many people looking at the page as possible. The page just received GA status today. At your earliest convenience, could you take a look at the Stephens City, Virginia page and review it (placing it on the page's talk page or mine is fine) independent of the official peer review. I would open to any and all requests during the review. Thanks... NeutralHomer • Talk • 01:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Not sure if this can be confirmed, but as I was digging up some album artwork, I found that James Gang (the old 70s classic rock band), was formed in Kent, Ohio. I checked the List of people from Kent, Ohio page and didn't see it. I didn't add it since I can't confirm it with a source, hence my message to you. Take Care... NeutralHomer • Talk • 08:00, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
The article is pretty much there. Images and WP:NPOV now pass and the culture section looks reasonably good. Only issue that remains is the flowery language involved in the "nationally-recognized" fashion museum, which really isn't even backed up by the citation. If that can be fixed, it's good to go! WTF?

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

Hey Jon, I seen where they are looking for some religion information (probably similar to what I have on the Stephens City article). I have found some stats on what adheres to what religion in Kent. Go here and scroll down about 3/4 down the page, look for "Religion statistics for Kent" and "Breakdown of population affiliated with a religious congregations". This information comes from the "Congregations and Membership in the United States" study by the Glenmary Research Center, published by Dale E. Jones in 2000. I sourced both that and the City-Data.com page in my sources. I would include, if you have it, a picture of a local church in the section, just to make it look pretty. If you like, you can base it off this section (word-for-word if you like) from the Stephens City article, just with the stats changed of course. Take Care... Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:41, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I was bored, so I put together the Religion section I proposed above (that was recommended on the FA) at my sandbox page. All that needs to be done is a picture of a Kent church put in place of the church picture I have one there now (currently a Stephens City church to reference how it will look). All the information is from the pages referenced, so it is correct and updated. I would add it to the page, but the Kent article is your "baby" and I don't want to goof anything up. :) Plus with it under FA Review, I don't want to do anything that messes that up. Should you want to add to it, please feel free to use my sandbox or transfer it to yours, whichever works for you. Take Care... Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Would you be willing to help rewrite the Betsy Boze page since you have previously worked on it? I know that you said that it is too positively biased still, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to make changes.
Thanks! Jheditorials ( talk) 12:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I am so sorry to hear about your FAC. You seriously did everything right and should have gotten that FAC. When you get back and are ready, I will help you with your FAC if you want to put it back up. I fear the same fate for mine, if so, I will definitely do some complaining. The rate things get FAC'd and some just forgotten is beyond sad. Enjoy your Wikibreak (if you haven't aready, I recommend a template at the top of your user and talkpages) and I will see you when you get back. Take Care Dude. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I like it alot, but I have one concern...would it be called a synagogue if it is just a regular looking building with some neat glass windows in the front? Would it be called a mosque, it is just a regular house? Because that is what both places are. They aren what you would normally consider a synagogue or a mosque. Being not of either of those faiths, I don't know what they technically consider a synagogue and a mosque. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:28, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
You're welcome about the sources. In reality, though, the data isn't "county plus town", it's just county, so Stephens City is included of course, but makes up less about %2 of that data set. Perhaps Stephens City is in line with the county stats (who knows, it may very well be close!) but I know my hometown varies greatly from most of the other demographic stats, so I have no reason to believe religion will be any different. In any case, to me it borders on speculation without any actual data. But in the end, I'm not really going to say much more nor do anything about it. :) -- JonRidinger ( talk) 00:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

The new map looks great and I struck that quibble on the FAC. If you think you have answered all of Nasty Housecat's objections, I think a brief note on his/her talk page asking to please look at the article again would be fine. I just had an idea and will add it to the FAC. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 12:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
I seen Jayjg's talkback (see above) about the sandboxed Religion section and gave it a look-see. I split the section in two seperate paragraphs, so you have one that is about the history of Kent Religion and one is about the current (2010) religious organizations and congregations. I think this looks like clumped together and easier on the eye to read. Please feel free to revert if you don't agree. That aside, I think the section is well-written and well-sourced and definitely should be added to the page. I recommend adding it above "Notable residents and natives". Good work! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:39, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
This is just my opinion, so take it how you wish, but I would do away with that link. The main "City of Kent, Ohio" and "Kent Chamber of Commerce" links should be enough. I don't think the one to the City Manager is necessary. To me, it wouldn't be a deal breaker, but to some it is. For the greater good (the FA), I would drop it. Again, this is just my opinion. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:08, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

First off, trademarks aren't an issue; they prevent us from using whatever is trademarked for purposes unrelated to the trademark holder, and our use of them to identify trademark holders helps those holders. Trademarked media aren't prohibited on Commons; see File:NewYorkTimes.svg for an example. On the other hand, I'd say that the tree is too complicated for PD-ineligible — it's an artistic design, so I'd say that you need to provide a fair use rationale. Shouldn't be hard (after all, logos are easy fair use), but PD-ineligible isn't the right tag. Nyttend ( talk) 04:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I saw your revert to the Bowling Green State University article. This appears to be the same DHS flunky who has tried many times before to insert his preferred "Yale of the Midwest" phrasing into the article (see also 204.248.24.165 ( talk · contribs), 204.248.24.162 ( talk · contribs), and 208.102.252.153 ( talk · contribs)).

I take it with what you said here that you have received the study in the mail it is county-wide data? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:04, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
All the work you, I and everyone else did on the Stephens City article culminates on September 5th when it is featured on the Front Page. Hope your article will be up there too soon. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
The new map looks great and I struck that quibble on the FAC. If you think you have answered all of Nasty Housecat's objections, I think a brief note on his/her talk page asking to please look at the article again would be fine. I just had an idea and will add it to the FAC. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 12:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
I seen Jayjg's talkback (see above) about the sandboxed Religion section and gave it a look-see. I split the section in two seperate paragraphs, so you have one that is about the history of Kent Religion and one is about the current (2010) religious organizations and congregations. I think this looks like clumped together and easier on the eye to read. Please feel free to revert if you don't agree. That aside, I think the section is well-written and well-sourced and definitely should be added to the page. I recommend adding it above "Notable residents and natives". Good work! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:39, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
This is just my opinion, so take it how you wish, but I would do away with that link. The main "City of Kent, Ohio" and "Kent Chamber of Commerce" links should be enough. I don't think the one to the City Manager is necessary. To me, it wouldn't be a deal breaker, but to some it is. For the greater good (the FA), I would drop it. Again, this is just my opinion. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:08, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello. You have a new message at Nasty Housecat's talk page.

Wow, you've put quite a lot of work into this article! This is by far the best article on any township in Ohio. Nyttend ( talk) 21:26, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Congratulations Sir, you are now the proud author of a Featured Article. I recommend taking it to WP:TFA/R as soon as you can. If you do, you will need to space it out away from the Stephens City article (which was on September 5) by one month. It is with great honor I present to you the below userbox. Nicely done! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
This user helped promote Kent, Ohio to featured article status. |
First off, trademarks aren't an issue; they prevent us from using whatever is trademarked for purposes unrelated to the trademark holder, and our use of them to identify trademark holders helps those holders. Trademarked media aren't prohibited on Commons; see File:NewYorkTimes.svg for an example. On the other hand, I'd say that the tree is too complicated for PD-ineligible — it's an artistic design, so I'd say that you need to provide a fair use rationale. Shouldn't be hard (after all, logos are easy fair use), but PD-ineligible isn't the right tag. Nyttend ( talk) 04:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I saw your revert to the Bowling Green State University article. This appears to be the same DHS flunky who has tried many times before to insert his preferred "Yale of the Midwest" phrasing into the article (see also 204.248.24.165 ( talk · contribs), 204.248.24.162 ( talk · contribs), and 208.102.252.153 ( talk · contribs)). Other than wishful thinking about the government plugging its budget holes by getting rid of goldbricking employees like this one, WP:RBI seems to be our best bet. Regards, — Kralizec!

Thanks for the heads up - since there have been no new edits in just over an hour, I have watched the article and will semi-protect if any more attempts to put her name in. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:09, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
For God's sake, do something about Waterloo Central School District too. Not only is it worse than the high school article when it comes to listing unnotable people, but it contains links to the pension information of many of the former administrators (including a relative of mine). That stuff needs to be oversighted. But I'm not holding my breath. MookieZ ( talk) 03:40, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
