Hi. On the castle in the clouds page, when you say a published reference do you mean a book or a website sort of thing? I might be able to get a journal or something, MAYBE, from my relative, but I'm not sure. I know other relatives often used journals, so I'll see. But the thing is, I'm not trying to disagree with you, your point makes sense, but I got this information from a relative who would actually go to visit her grandparents (the tobies), & sleep there as a kid.

Greeting Ken, Pardon any greenness, want to treat Wikipedia etiquette with utmost respect. Writing you regarding a redirected page dating back to 2013 that is causing confusion with consumers. Writing this from work so my work IP can be logged using an account associated with my work email so my identity can be verified if called into question.
The page in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Realtor.com&action=history which was redirected to the National Association of Realtors page back in 2013. The confusion comes in when a consumer searches for Realtor.com in Google and the NAR wiki page displays in the right rail Knowledge Graph suggesting the site is a trade union, displays the wrong CEO, wrong social media accounts, logo etc.
The sites are affiliated, but Realtor.com is run by Move Inc which was recently acquired by News Corp of which I am an employee, see: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-1001-newscorp-realtor-20141001-story.html We'd like to see the redirect removed so the page can be updated to be more accurate. I am well aware that we should avoid editing the page ourselves but reversing the redirect seems like the proper starting point.
Looking forward to your feedback and/or questions. I apologize in advance if this was the wrong approach.

Hello, and thank you for correcting my grammatical errors. I wanted your opinion on this: The article lists the city is being incorporated in 1751, however that was before the US.

Hi, Ken. Been a while. Always a pleasure.
Just a note to explain my image retsore at the Mt. Madison page. You changed it ( here) after another user incorrectly misidentified it as being Mt. Adams.
As you can see on this Google Earth image here Mt. Madison is indeed the peak one sees directly from NH Route 16 from the vantage point it was taken. (From a purely NPOV perspective, I also know as I took the image and climbed the mountain that day.) Mt. Adams is behind and to the left; if it's not obscured in this image I cannot say with certainty that it is in it.
Further, the summit of Madison may not be depicted, as it may be obscured by the prominent ridge line leading up to it (forming the triangular feature seen at center). The route doglegs to the SW at the top of that ridge (seen starting at the 'n' of Madison in the Google Earth rendering in the resolution sent on).
It's been a while since we worked together on pages on NH mountains, but it's great to see from your contribution log you are busy as a beaver ranging far outside it. Yours, Wikiuser100 ( talk) 12:33, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi there - Thanks for the detailed explanation! The other user and I were misled by what appears to be a peak on the right, but I assume must be the ridge the Osgood Trail climbs. I wonder if you could tell me the approximate coordinates of the spot where you took the picture. That would help confirm it for me. (I don't have Google Earth set up, so I can't do any 3D roving around.) Or of course I should just take a drive up there!

Question regarding this edit and many like it — where/how do you get the information? No matter what I do with factfinder.census.gov, I can't figure out how to get information about any specific locations, let alone anything comparable to the wonderful population-estimate CSV files that they had for the 2000 census and succeeding years. It doesn't help that they've apparently changed their URLs lately, since the citation that you gave for this edit is no longer working. I'd love to have a table with all Ohio townships' populations and areas, if it exists. Nyttend ( talk) 13:52, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
There is a White House.gov petition to change the name of the great peak that is active because it is a micro-aggression to African-Americans to honor a man who owned over 300 slaves. Links were provided (1) to support Washington's slavery ownership and (2) to the petition itself. These are third party facts, so why is it being censured? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taxed2death ( talk • contribs) 13:03, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Ken. (I never used talk before so I hope I'm doing it right.) I won't contest any of your changes to my edits yesterday except one.
