Hi Travellingcari
I'm new to wikipedia so I'm still learning how everything works. I tried to add info to the Rockland Center for the Arts page. Everything I added was deleted because of a copyright violation. All the information I wrote was gathered from either their website or from printed material and was rewritten so as not to be copying copyrighted material. The block on my account is already lifted so I'm not asking for you to unblock me. I'm just wondering if you could tell me which part of my info was copyrighted and possibly where you traced that info from. Any info you have on this would be really helpful to me. Thanks Baravery ( talk) 02:50, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure, the information in the body would be the best, I was just cleaning links, and seeing if the links supports the text in the article, several of the links were poorly formatted, and one link to the NPS didn't work at all. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 19:16, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't been able to respond to you until now or do more than a few edits. There's so much else going on.
I looked at the NRHP nom on the OPRHP website, figuring it probably wouldn't be too long. You know, it's just a log cabin ... right?
Wrong. You want sourcing? You got sourcing .... almost 24 pages worth. Single-spaced. Really interesting, though ... apparently that 1928 rediscovery of the original cabin is almost as important to its historical significance as its original historic status.
It certainly has one hell of a DYK hook potential, though "...that the Adsit Log Cabin is believed to be the oldest log cabin in the United States still in its original location?" So we'll have to get to work.
On other fronts, over the weekend I stopped in Sloatsburg on the way down to my mother's house in NJ and got pictures of all four RHP listings there, so you don't have to go out to the western corner of your home county (I am guessing from wherever you live that would be about as far as you could get in Rockland County?) Daniel Case ( talk) 04:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I've been thinking about your question as to whether the ASPCA article should have a New York City focus. The fact that the ASPCA has a web presence and does lobby nationally (I beleive they charge a fee for the service) and they advertize nationally gives the impression that they are a nation wide organization. In reality, the ASPCA provides it's sevice to the residents of NYC. Their headquarters, Animal Hospital and Adoption Center is in Manhatten (in NYC), their Law Enforcement headquarters in in Long Island City (also in NYC). They do have an Animal Posion Control Center in Urbana, IL that provides advice over the phone (for a $60 fee). The ASPCA intentionally created the image that they are "American" and thus national, but I have found that they really aren't.
I was a volunteer Humane Law Enforcement Officer with the Suffolk County, NY SPCA and did become somewhat familiar with the organization 20 miles from my county border. We did do some joint training, and the officers I encountered seemed professional.
Perhaps the article needs expansion to shed some light on a confusing organization. What do you think? SGT141 ( talk) 02:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Cari! From my viewpoint, I think that list really needs to be chopped down -- you have libraries, zoos, Ground Zero, a surprising number of redlinks (considering the subject) and no sense of direction. You could have at least five different list-related articles based on what is compiled here. But that is my opinion. Thanks for thinking of me. Ecoleetage ( talk) 00:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Cari!
Spotted your name on ANI, clicked the link, found you were not only active, but an admin. I used to hit on random articles in the days when I could spot and fix an error in almost every one, but the standard seems to have improved, apart from writing quality which is usually pretty ordinary.
I don't think that this is going to change much when writing is done by committee. Any sparkle gets relentlessly ground down.
I've got a book I think you'd like by someone who hopped into my cab recently. He's done a tonne of travelling, has an entertaining style, and is confined to a wheelchair. Which makes his recent travels in places like Yemen, South Ossetia, Finland and an atlas full of other places all the more remarkable. If you can PM a shipping address, I'll send it off, once I get him to autograph it. For some reason, he's taken a shine to me - maybe it's the fact that I laugh at his jokes and park the cab so he can get in and out easily. He gives me a call when he needs a taxi, and I happily drive across town for the privilege. I should learn from his writing style too - he hits the highlights, and skips the mundane.
I'm planning to spend a night and day in NYC in mid-October after the Charleston Uncon, just walking around and taking photographs. Stay at youth hostel. Then hop on Qantas and fly to Perth, flight leaving late afternoon. Any remote chance we can organise a gathering of the locals? I haven't booked any flights yet, so dates are very sketchy, but the UnCon runs 10-12 Oct, Monday 13 fly to Seattle, Wednesday 15 fly to NYC, Thursday to Perth for a sleep, then home to Canberra, by which time I'm not sure of the day or date. I'll travel to Charleston via Auckland, Tokyo, Dublin, LAX and Washington - the idea being to maximise the airmiles on the ticket. -- Pete ( talk) 01:57, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Nope, not Nothing444, he wasn't around for the 2 years this person talks of. But I would not be surprised if this was another banned sock. Off hand I know of at least half a dozen banned v-gamer focused type users. Best to confront him and demand the name of his former account, if he evades, then try a {{ sockblock}}.

You can still speak to me you know!! How are doing with the museums? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 21:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello! Yes don't worry about that, we've got the page locked for a week now -so it will save me having to revert. Yes as an admin you probably have more stuff to preoccupy you now. I am rather a bit bogged down with things to do on here at present as I had intended developing some of those museums!! The last museum I started was one in Rwanda I think.. Are there any in particularly you are writing? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes I've noticed your name a lot at some of the AFD closures. In fact you closed one of mine earlier, a Costa Rican politician I started a "Sectretary of State" and "President candidate" who was deemd "non notable" to the uploader. I really think there ought to be change in the nom prcedure where there is a preliminary stage where clear SNOWBALLS are filtered out of the AFD process. Look after yourself and keep in touch every now and then! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
oh I'd love your help with translating the costa rican politicians, I stubbed them all from spanish wiki a week ago and haven't got around to expand them. I've written the first 50 in the spanish politicians cat though!! COuld you help? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Great thanks. Yes I need Santiago Alba Bonifaz, Mario Amilivia and Manuel de Alday y Aspée translated. Then I;ve nearly done the Spanish politicians that I started and will steadily plough through Category:Costa Rican politicians. So far I;ve only done the first one!! Any help you can give me would be awesome but don't feel under pressure, all in good time. I'm going to try to do one or two a day. I;d imagine there are many museums on spanish wikipedia too which ar eeither stubs or don't exist on here too! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 13:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Have a look at some of the ones I've translated so far! (Just so you know that I do fill articles out!!). It seems most of my articles you come across are the stubbies and it makes me look like a lazy bones!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Chinandega (qith help from Polylerus), La Palma, Chalatenango, University of El Salvador Apastepeque, Altamirano, Chiapas, Culture of El Salvador, Andrés de Santa María, 1811 Independence Movement, Santiago José Celis and David Joaquín Guzmán, Martín Cárdenas (botanist), Battle of Acajutla, Diego de Holgiun, Coffee production in Ecuador , Caracas Aerial Tramway, Tioda, Iglesia de la Matriz etc.
♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 13:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Lovely. Eesh I can't remember which stubs I've created. En masse are the ones which strangely now have their own national museum templates!! South Korea, Thailand, Egypt and Greece I think. Most of them were in the WP:Museums missing list that I blue linked. There were some African museum stubs I created for most of the countries too. I filled out a few like Ahmed Shawki Museum but haven't had the time to do them all yet. Hey have a look at Image:Sierra Leone Road.jpg. A natural photo do you think or aapint art enhancment? The colour looks, well just too tropical doesn't it!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
You mean the Royal Thai Airforce museum? I;m not surprised as it is located at Don Muang International Airport which is enormous!! and gets millions of passengers. There should be a lot of information on most places in Bangkok, including all those museums!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:26, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes there is that problem with languages isn't there. For many places there is a lot more info on web than we think, the same for countries like Russia and Arabic countries which have different writing systems so google doesn't pick up the english command! Once I've finished my template run I'll have a browse on spanish wiki and if possible make a list of missing museums that have articles on there but not on here. Probably many in Spain and some Latin AMerican countries. SOund good? On second thoughts probably best to fill out what we've got first but it wouldn't hurt to see what they've got! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Basket Knitter Museum of the Romas. Delete it? I can't find anything on it. I only started it from the list The Bald One White cat 19:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Cool. I didn't know you were a New Yorker. Thats I great. I've visited New York twice although not since 9/11. I had forgotten how big Long Island was though. I was looking at it in 3D on google earth the other day and its quite large. Wow theres probably enough museums in New York city and the state to keep you going for months alone!! The Bald One White cat 20:46, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
The shopping in NYC is just amazing. The size of Macy's blew my head off! Second time I went saw Woody Allen in a bookstore. He had cap on pulled down low and a duffel coat that was too big for him. I wouldn't have recognised him but my dad nudged me and whsipered "That guy over there is Woody Allen". It just looked like a frail old man! Broadway was awesome too I watched Jesus Christ Superstar. I'd love to return someday. The Bald One White cat 20:58, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes I love travel, its in the genes, I come from a travel obsessed family. The main problem is money. At present I have the time to travel but can't really afford it!! If I was working gruelling full time shifts I would have more money but considerably less time to travel!! My sister is out in South America at present. She flew to Rio and has now reached Macchu Pichu. She has had a lot of interesting stories to tell about Bolivia. In Potosi, a mining town, it is as easy to buy dynamite and explosives at a market stall as it is a banana. She suffered form the altitude sickness though. It is at least 4058 meters (13313 feet) above sea level and given that she is accustomed to living at sea level a sustained stay at this level seriously affects oxygen levels and blood flow to the organs around the body and has all kinds of side effects. Most people who visit La Paz have their stay ruined by sickness and lack of appetite because it is one of the highest cities in the world. Shes out there for seven weeks. As a school teacher she has more holidays than people with other jobs so it suits her well. Now that would be a great trip. I've always wanted to go to Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet too The Bald One White cat 09:17, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
If you have time have a watch of this. It is a documentary on a British guy going honey hunting in Nepal. it will amaze you, plus there is some good scenery. The Bald One White cat 09:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I;ve just noticed that this article is missing!! The Bald One White cat 17:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I would love it if you could give a hand translating some of the sections to Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica i just started. I've made a good start but its rather large to take on solely. PLus I;ve now translated around 6 or 7 Costa Rican politicians! The Bald One White cat 14:44, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Cari. Contrary to what many people believe, Portuguese and Spanish are fairly different languages.

I need to know why you removed the article, “Standing Rock of Eufaula” I source everything that was requested. It almost as if you don’t want the information.( Nfarrow ( talk) 03:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC))
OK, well can I at lest add a picture of standing rock in the Eufaula Lake#Standing Rocksection? Even though it's not the lake image. also other admins have stated that only one picture per article. I feel personally, as well as having talked to numerous people from the area, that it is important to have something more about "standing rock of Eufaula", such as the history behind it. History is something that is preserved by documentation and even word of mouth, i feel like this is somewhere we can preserve the history behind Standing Rock, a precious place located under the lake... it is NOT just a rock, it has important significance to this area, and It is rather unfortunate your admins cannot see that. It is special to the elders of the Lake Eufaula area, and I believe it should be mentioned here, so younger people can get to know it, and understand the history behind "standing rock." If you could please help me on what I CAN do to actually keep a new article on standing rock of Eufaula, so that it wont be deleted or that I will be blocked from your website. Again, i stress this is important to the area and It is much deserved to have a Wiki Article. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope something can be done about this, i cannot stress enough how I truly feel this histroy of such a historic monument to the area should be mentioned in its own article, it isn't just a precious historic place for the Lake Eufaula area, but to all of Oklahoma.( Nfarrow ( talk) 06:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC))
His, Thanks for your message. Thanks for finding the Tennessee article. This illustrates some of the things we're trying to do with NRHP dabs. Without the dab article, an editor may think that X Courthouse is the only one there is and create an article with that title. Having the dab shows the editor that there are others and shows the proper dab name to be used. Best wishes. clariosophic ( talk) 19:05, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Cari. According to this search [2], it has adequate sourcing. Plus at least one English-language article. From what I can gather, it has marginal notability. Thanks. Ecoleetage ( talk) 14:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Despite agreeing with you on much of what you mention above. I was actually in the middle of trying to contribute to the article in question (including making sure that the copyvio problem didn't rear its head again and getting proper references into the article, as well as trying to help the new editor contribute constructively. The article that existed was very badly written I grant you but, that was in the process of being fixed. A heads up to contributors other than the main author would have been nice (though I know not strictly required). Thanks for your time. Jasynnash2 ( talk) 09:32, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jay, which is how I always read your screen name. I didn't delete the article any of the four times it happened so there really wasn't anyone for me to notify, I don't think. I just protected the re-direct after it was re-created against consensus yet again. I re-directed it to where it's already covered, in the lake. I don't understand why you and the creator can't contribute to that section of the lake's article. Do you really think the rock is independently notable from the lake? I don't see the point in taking it back to AfD when I can't see any consensus other than merge, which it currently is, back to the lake article. Do you see where I'm coming from?

Certain articles regarding feet, health and what else may require urgent editings due to substandard content or articles not meeting the neutral points of view. However can you do this and not get accused of vandalism 'cause it's rather complicated to avoid vandalism accusation. Atkinson 02:52, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
My askings regard foot arches, foot condition, foot styles, etcetera! I happen being feminine-questions about arches for human feet are under controversy>high arches are getting called into debate, medium arches and low arches. And foot studies are based on not good study or very flawed evidence. Also, the toes regarding humans feet are constantly under scrutiny-people keep debating about whatever constitutes as "normal toes" even though there is no such thing as "normal toes" for truth. My starting interests with editing Wikipedia will be for health, family and children related issues. Atkinson 03:00, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Cari! From my viewpoint, I think that list really needs to be chopped down -- you have libraries, zoos, Ground Zero, a surprising number of redlinks (considering the subject) and no sense of direction. You could have at least five different list-related articles based on what is compiled here. But that is my opinion. Thanks for thinking of me. Ecoleetage ( talk) 00:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
In reply to your edit summary on Black Tie Nights, I added the CSD template when there was only an infobox. I'm sending this because I hope you didn't think of me going around and adding CSD templates to random articles. Cheers.-- LAA Fan 15:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Cari!
Spotted your name on ANI, clicked the link, found you were not only active, but an admin. I used to hit on random articles in the days when I could spot and fix an error in almost every one, but the standard seems to have improved, apart from writing quality which is usually pretty ordinary.
I don't think that this is going to change much when writing is done by committee. Any sparkle gets relentlessly ground down.
I've got a book I think you'd like by someone who hopped into my cab recently. He's done a tonne of travelling, has an entertaining style, and is confined to a wheelchair. Which makes his recent travels in places like Yemen, South Ossetia, Finland and an atlas full of other places all the more remarkable. If you can PM a shipping address, I'll send it off, once I get him to autograph it. For some reason, he's taken a shine to me - maybe it's the fact that I laugh at his jokes and park the cab so he can get in and out easily. He gives me a call when he needs a taxi, and I happily drive across town for the privilege. I should learn from his writing style too - he hits the highlights, and skips the mundane.
I'm planning to spend a night and day in NYC in mid-October after the Charleston Uncon, just walking around and taking photographs. Stay at youth hostel. Then hop on Qantas and fly to Perth, flight leaving late afternoon. Any remote chance we can organise a gathering of the locals? I haven't booked any flights yet, so dates are very sketchy, but the UnCon runs 10-12 Oct, Monday 13 fly to Seattle, Wednesday 15 fly to NYC, Thursday to Perth for a sleep, then home to Canberra, by which time I'm not sure of the day or date. I'll travel to Charleston via Auckland, Tokyo, Dublin, LAX and Washington - the idea being to maximise the airmiles on the ticket. -- Pete ( talk) 01:57, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Nope, not Nothing444, he wasn't around for the 2 years this person talks of. But I would not be surprised if this was another banned sock. Off hand I know of at least half a dozen banned v-gamer focused type users. Best to confront him and demand the name of his former account, if he evades, then try a {{ sockblock}}.

You can still speak to me you know!! How are doing with the museums? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 21:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello! Yes don't worry about that, we've got the page locked for a week now -so it will save me having to revert. Yes as an admin you probably have more stuff to preoccupy you now. I am rather a bit bogged down with things to do on here at present as I had intended developing some of those museums!! The last museum I started was one in Rwanda I think.. Are there any in particularly you are writing? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes I've noticed your name a lot at some of the AFD closures. In fact you closed one of mine earlier, a Costa Rican politician I started a "Sectretary of State" and "President candidate" who was deemd "non notable" to the uploader. I really think there ought to be change in the nom prcedure where there is a preliminary stage where clear SNOWBALLS are filtered out of the AFD process. Look after yourself and keep in touch every now and then! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
oh I'd love your help with translating the costa rican politicians, I stubbed them all from spanish wiki a week ago and haven't got around to expand them. I've written the first 50 in the spanish politicians cat though!! COuld you help? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Great thanks. Yes I need Santiago Alba Bonifaz, Mario Amilivia and Manuel de Alday y Aspée translated. Then I;ve nearly done the Spanish politicians that I started and will steadily plough through Category:Costa Rican politicians. So far I;ve only done the first one!! Any help you can give me would be awesome but don't feel under pressure, all in good time. I'm going to try to do one or two a day. I;d imagine there are many museums on spanish wikipedia too which ar eeither stubs or don't exist on here too! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 13:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Have a look at some of the ones I've translated so far! (Just so you know that I do fill articles out!!). It seems most of my articles you come across are the stubbies and it makes me look like a lazy bones!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Chinandega (qith help from Polylerus), La Palma, Chalatenango, University of El Salvador Apastepeque, Altamirano, Chiapas, Culture of El Salvador, Andrés de Santa María, 1811 Independence Movement, Santiago José Celis and David Joaquín Guzmán, Martín Cárdenas (botanist), Battle of Acajutla, Diego de Holgiun, Coffee production in Ecuador , Caracas Aerial Tramway, Tioda, Iglesia de la Matriz etc.
♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 13:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Lovely. Eesh I can't remember which stubs I've created. En masse are the ones which strangely now have their own national museum templates!! South Korea, Thailand, Egypt and Greece I think. Most of them were in the WP:Museums missing list that I blue linked. There were some African museum stubs I created for most of the countries too. I filled out a few like Ahmed Shawki Museum but haven't had the time to do them all yet. Hey have a look at Image:Sierra Leone Road.jpg. A natural photo do you think or aapint art enhancment? The colour looks, well just too tropical doesn't it!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
You mean the Royal Thai Airforce museum? I;m not surprised as it is located at Don Muang International Airport which is enormous!! and gets millions of passengers. There should be a lot of information on most places in Bangkok, including all those museums!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:26, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes there is that problem with languages isn't there. For many places there is a lot more info on web than we think, the same for countries like Russia and Arabic countries which have different writing systems so google doesn't pick up the english command! Once I've finished my template run I'll have a browse on spanish wiki and if possible make a list of missing museums that have articles on there but not on here. Probably many in Spain and some Latin AMerican countries. SOund good? On second thoughts probably best to fill out what we've got first but it wouldn't hurt to see what they've got! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 14:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Basket Knitter Museum of the Romas. Delete it? I can't find anything on it. I only started it from the list The Bald One White cat 19:25, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey its good to see an article on St Lythans. Its only about 2 miles from my house The Bald One White cat 13:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Cool. I didn't know you were a New Yorker. Thats I great. I've visited New York twice although not since 9/11. I had forgotten how big Long Island was though. I was looking at it in 3D on google earth the other day and its quite large. Wow theres probably enough museums in New York city and the state to keep you going for months alone!! The Bald One White cat 20:46, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
The shopping in NYC is just amazing. The size of Macy's blew my head off! Second time I went saw Woody Allen in a bookstore. He had cap on pulled down low and a duffel coat that was too big for him. I wouldn't have recognised him but my dad nudged me and whsipered "That guy over there is Woody Allen". It just looked like a frail old man! Broadway was awesome too I watched Jesus Christ Superstar. I'd love to return someday. The Bald One White cat 20:58, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Yes I love travel, its in the genes, I come from a travel obsessed family. The main problem is money. At present I have the time to travel but can't really afford it!! If I was working gruelling full time shifts I would have more money but considerably less time to travel!! My sister is out in South America at present. She flew to Rio and has now reached Macchu Pichu. She has had a lot of interesting stories to tell about Bolivia. In Potosi, a mining town, it is as easy to buy dynamite and explosives at a market stall as it is a banana. She suffered form the altitude sickness though. It is at least 4058 meters (13313 feet) above sea level and given that she is accustomed to living at sea level a sustained stay at this level seriously affects oxygen levels and blood flow to the organs around the body and has all kinds of side effects. Most people who visit La Paz have their stay ruined by sickness and lack of appetite because it is one of the highest cities in the world. Shes out there for seven weeks. As a school teacher she has more holidays than people with other jobs so it suits her well. Now that would be a great trip. I've always wanted to go to Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet too The Bald One White cat 09:17, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
If you have time have a watch of this. It is a documentary on a British guy going honey hunting in Nepal. it will amaze you, plus there is some good scenery. The Bald One White cat 09:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I;ve just noticed that this article is missing!! The Bald One White cat 17:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I would love it if you could give a hand translating some of the sections to Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica i just started. I've made a good start but its rather large to take on solely. PLus I;ve now translated around 6 or 7 Costa Rican politicians! The Bald One White cat 14:44, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks.

Hi Cari. Contrary to what many people believe, Portuguese and Spanish are fairly different languages. I can understand some Spanish when I hear it on the radio, but I never read any Spanish language publications. I am afraid that I am the wrong person to provide translation services.

I got distracted (not difficult), but I finally returned to that once-deleted item: Malta Enterprise. I have to keep it stubby for now -- too much available data will steer it into spam territory. Thanks! Ecoleetage ( talk) 16:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
I need to know why you removed the article, “Standing Rock of Eufaula” I source everything that was requested. It almost as if you don’t want the information.( Nfarrow ( talk) 03:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC))
OK, well can I at lest add a picture of standing rock in the Eufaula Lake#Standing Rocksection? Even though it's not the lake image. also other admins have stated that only one picture per article. I feel personally, as well as having talked to numerous people from the area, that it is important to have something more about "standing rock of Eufaula", such as the history behind it. History is something that is preserved by documentation and even word of mouth, i feel like this is somewhere we can preserve the history behind Standing Rock, a precious place located under the lake... it is NOT just a rock, it has important significance to this area, and It is rather unfortunate your admins cannot see that. It is special to the elders of the Lake Eufaula area, and I believe it should be mentioned here, so younger people can get to know it, and understand the history behind "standing rock." If you could please help me on what I CAN do to actually keep a new article on standing rock of Eufaula, so that it wont be deleted or that I will be blocked from your website. Again, i stress this is important to the area and It is much deserved to have a Wiki Article. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope something can be done about this, i cannot stress enough how I truly feel this histroy of such a historic monument to the area should be mentioned in its own article, it isn't just a precious historic place for the Lake Eufaula area, but to all of Oklahoma.( Nfarrow ( talk) 06:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC))
His, Thanks for your message. Thanks for finding the Tennessee article. This illustrates some of the things we're trying to do with NRHP dabs. Without the dab article, an editor may think that X Courthouse is the only one there is and create an article with that title. Having the dab shows the editor that there are others and shows the proper dab name to be used. Best wishes. clariosophic ( talk) 19:05, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Cari. According to this search [2], it has adequate sourcing. Plus at least one English-language article. From what I can gather, it has marginal notability. Thanks. Ecoleetage ( talk) 14:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Despite agreeing with you on much of what you mention above. I was actually in the middle of trying to contribute to the article in question (including making sure that the copyvio problem didn't rear its head again and getting proper references into the article, as well as trying to help the new editor contribute constructively. The article that existed was very badly written I grant you but, that was in the process of being fixed. A heads up to contributors other than the main author would have been nice (though I know not strictly required). Thanks for your time. Jasynnash2 ( talk) 09:32, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jay, which is how I always read your screen name. I didn't delete the article any of the four times it happened so there really wasn't anyone for me to notify, I don't think. I just protected the re-direct after it was re-created against consensus yet again. I re-directed it to where it's already covered, in the lake. I don't understand why you and the creator can't contribute to that section of the lake's article. Do you really think the rock is independently notable from the lake? I don't see the point in taking it back to AfD when I can't see any consensus other than merge, which it currently is, back to the lake article. Do you see where I'm coming from? TravellingCari 14:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Cari, could you explain something about your comments over at RfA to me? I don't know Steve well, and RyRy less, but I did once look at Steve's adopt-a-user program and found it to be much more thourough and substantive than other adoptee programs I had looked at. This gave me a very positive impression of Steve. But then I heard that he left the project, and now know not what to think. Could you explain your concerns to me?

Thanks for stepping in on the AN/I thread. I'm going to see what I can do to add these articles onto my watchlist. I confess I have little ability to tell which Ettinger links are good and which are fluff/puffery. I just think blanking all references to her isn't a good or encyclopedic solution. Feel free to pass any articles you'd like me to monitor along on my talk page but I'll try to find them through a global search. Cheers, Pigman ☿ 22:39, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Certain articles regarding feet, health and what else may require urgent editings due to substandard content or articles not meeting the neutral points of view. However can you do this and not get accused of vandalism 'cause it's rather complicated to avoid vandalism accusation. Atkinson 02:52, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
My askings regard foot arches, foot condition, foot styles, etcetera! I happen being feminine-questions about arches for human feet are under controversy>high arches are getting called into debate, medium arches and low arches. And foot studies are based on not good study or very flawed evidence. Also, the toes regarding humans feet are constantly under scrutiny-people keep debating about whatever constitutes as "normal toes" even though there is no such thing as "normal toes" for truth. My starting interests with editing Wikipedia will be for health, family and children related issues. Atkinson 03:00, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Thank you for creating the article National Museum of Catholic Art and History. I added a category in that article. Can you help me with Wisconsin Historical Museum?
