The parish (area) is not a part of the church (building). So "Category:Roman Catholic parishes in New Hampshire" can't be under "Category:Churches in New Hampshire". Proper steps are: church -> location or parish, Roman Catholic parish (faith) -> Roman Catholic diocese. -- WlaKom ( talk) 17:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
Hi Ken -
My name is Graham Smith, and I'm a New Hampshire native, and a senior producer at National Public Radio in DC. I know a lot in particular about the arts scene and the music scene on the NH seacoast.
For the last couple years, I've occasionally added a citation about the internationally touring NH rock band Scissorfight on the Mount Chocorua page, and you have repeatedly removed it, leaving only the classical music citation and poetry. I understand you might not like rock music, but I don't believe Wikipedia is supposed to reflect your personal taste.
I believe the inclusion of the information I've put on the M-C page falls within Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and I hope you will leave it be this time.
You can read the guidelines here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

Hello, I noticed you've been adding lengths of rivers from the USGS National Map. I've been preparing to work on some articles about U.S. streams, and I've hit a wall trying to figure out how to use the National Map to get this information. Would you happen to have any hints for getting started, or a link to some part of the site's help pages that I've missed? (I'm also wondering if I must use some other GIS software to access the data from the hydrography dataset. I downloaded some hydrography data for a couple of sub-watersheds but couldn't open the files.)

Hi there. I noticed that you edited an article on J. Williams Beal & Sons. My great grandfather, Orvile Alden Howard, was employed at J Williams Beal from about 1900 until his death in 1922. I was wondering if you might know if there are any surviving drawings from the early 1900s. I have some of his sketch work, he was clearly very, very talented.
By the way I see you cover New Hampshire extensively. Although I have lived in Canada most of my life I was born in Hanover and visit NH several times a year.

With the 2010 Census data becoming a focus for a lot of editing activity, I think we need a US-wide discussion of editing conventions. I've started this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States, which I think is an appropriate venue for it. First topic there is Describing/naming census designated places.

Ken -- seeing your work on this page and your "top 400" status, I turn to you for advice.
There have been multiple previous reversions, at least one done by an unregistered one-time editor and another done by an editor who added specific details about the school (probably a staff member), more than one claiming implausibly that information about the Legion of Christ was not even relevant an article on the school. These left an article with the appearance of a brochure. I suspect tampering by individual(s) with a conflict of interest. My expression of concern got me a rebuke from the change patroller, who noted that the links weren't up to snuff as sources, so I thought I would ask you what you thought.
There are sources on the issue that are far stronger from WIKI’s view of sourcing (nationally circulated periodicals and books from major commercial and university presses). If necessary, I can get the page #s from Jason Berry's books and the National Catholic Reporter about practices at the apostolic schools. However these sources have, for ideological reasons, limited source credibility with the subset of the population that is most interested in becoming involved in the activities and institutions of the Legion of Christ.
So, along with one article in a national journal by an internationally recognized expert on current issues in the Catholic church [which doesn't go into detail about the schools, but deals more with the investigation overall], I had included links to blogs of people who are of national stature within the subculture of conservative/orthodox Catholic media and to networks of people in transition and recovery from involvement in the Legion of Christ and Regnum Christi, which outline the concerns and in particular places go into detail about the apostolic schools.
I want to do what's kosher, but don't want to let a whitewash by a school staffer stand.

I wanted to thank you for all of your edits to places in Bergen County, New Jersey, adding updated information for the 2010 Census. I appreciate the time and effort that you have spent to not only add the new population but to go through the articles and make other updates and corrections as appropriate. I am disappointed with the way that the Census Bureau has not yet provided detailed demographic data from the 2010 Census, but whatever your source for the data it would be appropriate to include the source as documentation to support your change. I would also suggest that the fields in the census history infobox for estimates / year / source be blanked out, rather than deleted, as the Census Bureau will be providing annual updates for the next nine years, and these fields can be repopulated again once the 2011 Census Estimate comes out.

I have a concern that the boundaries of some "places" (municipalities and CDPs) have changed since the 2000 census, so it is no longer valid to report the 2000 land area with 2010 data, or to use the 2000 land area as a basis for population density.

{{
Jctint}} doesn't need to be fixed; if you use |state_special=[[Washington (state)|Washington]]
, you can alter the link for the state column just as |county_special= |location_special=
do the same trick for the county and location columns, respectively. (Note, |state=WA
is still needed for the county and location links.)

Hi Ken, I am new to Wikipedia and have been editing the page about Windham, NH. I am a part of an English class at Clemson University. Our assignment is to update a page on Wikipedia. I chose the town of Windham, New Hampshire. If you have any advice about future edits I would really appreciate it. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cippy12 ( talk • contribs) 13:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In Winnisquam Lake, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Pickerel ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. When you recently edited List of census-designated places in Maryland, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tall Timbers, Maryland ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
