Hello. I noticed that you made comments about Lousville about mine. I do not have any hard feelings toward you, and I hope that I have not upset you. I was a bit confused about the situation (even after reading some of the archives) and I just requested assistance. I am sorry if I have caused problems. Ajwebb 21:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
How is U of L not refered to as "The Ville"? Is there not a "Welcome to the 'Ville" poster on the silos? I have and have saw many people wear "The vill" shirts on campus. 65.138.71.135 21:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that the phrase "The Ville" is used to describe the University of Louisville athletic teams.
The phrase was originated by former Louisville basketball player Poncho Wright during the run to the team's 1980 national championship.
The University of Louisville's Athletic Department currently markets its teams and sells merchandise containing "The Ville".
As a former Louisville student-athlete and spouse of a former member of its Athletic Deportment, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of this.
Have a great weekend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimsimo ( talk • contribs)

Hello Stevietheman, This is Janet L. Boyd, Special Projects Manager at the Louisville Science Center. I recently edited the Science Center entry becuase it had incorrect information and I decided to expand the information while I was at it. I would appreciate it if you could let me know why the entry was removed. I assure you it is not a copyright violation as your note suggested. I have just now corrected the previous name of the Science Center in the entry that is currently posted. I hope that will be left intact. Please reply to my email address (Janet.Boyd@louivilleky.gov), if you don't mind. Thanks, Janet —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JanetLBoyd ( talk • contribs) 09:20, July 20, 2006 (UTC)

Stevie, regarding your oppose to CheNuevara, while I don't begrudge someone for opposing, I'm not sure it's fair to do so in this circumstance just on his number of edits. His response to the DU situation and his responses to questions indicate (at least to me) that he is anything but a newbie.

Since you mentioned in an edit summary that this was your first time doing an RfC, and the RfC main page was recently completely reorganized and partly rewritten, I would be interested in knowing if you had any problems or suggestions about the process. — Centrx→ talk • 08:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Stevie, thanks for the conciliatory words. I am surprised at your belief that there is consensus about this issue. I point out that the David Oberst's 'complete revamp' was quite extreme, and made in advance of (any apparent) public consensus building. Further, his reasoning for his 'complete revamp' remains obscure. I cannot find evidence of his explanation. Indeed, if the editors there were to actually make an argument explaining the 'complete revamp' I may still agree. As things stand, I was left out of the process leading up to this drastic 'complete revamp'. And, reviewing the eight questions I asked on July 31st, about eight were left unanswered. Perhaps you can agree that, from my perspective at least, it does not look like a built consensus, it looks more like a bullrush. Two to one win a 3RR game. Can't we use reason instead of revert war?

steve . . . is that you? i just tried to post an edit for ATL and i know i screwed up by dropping a couple of versions in before i understood what's going on. [not sure i do, yet, actually . . . ] i joined ATL in 1969 and remained a company member for 36 [or is it 37?] years. i hope you can incorporate my corrections and additions. as written the article left out a number of important facts and had some things dead wrong. i do not quite get how to underline, among other things. give me a holler and let me know when the edit will appear. thanks, adale o'brien
In case you didn't keep republican democracy on your watchlist, there is a current (actually, appears stalled) AfD discussion for a related article constitutional republic. In commenting there, I also found constitutional democracy which is again covering overlapping ground. It looks like there is a logical argument for consolidating these three at constitutional democracy (with appropriate distinction of republics vs. non-republics, and whatever might turn up on how/where the phrases are used). This would prevent multiple independent (and conflicting) treatment of related phrases, since most of the key information is common to liberal democracy. - David Oberst 02:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
AH! I see you've started looking at the Kentucky Regions articles and pulling them into WikiProject Kentucky. They don't seem to line up with the ones I remember from School. (Of course that was 35 years ago;). I've been working on WikiProject Community stuff and at Meta quite a bit lately but I've noticed some more WikiProjKy members have join. Yay! I'll try to jump back in soon. Good work, Stevietheman. CQ 02:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the category Kentucky in the Civil War. I created similar cats for my native Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I really appreciate your efforts. I tended to add the politicians that served during the war years, leading generals and naval officers, civilians that made an impact on the war, places and events. Also take a look at Ohio in the Civil War as an example of a main article that you can use as a template for a similar article on Kentucky. Good work! Scott Mingus 18:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
In fact I had attempted to add a comment, if your comment was deleted it was a computer error.→ R Young { yakł talk} 04:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Good job on this.
When I first saw the cat removal on a page on my watchlist, I was startled. I did some digging and found out the American Civil War cat is waaaay overpopulated and so sub-cats are being urged. So, again, good gnoming!
I would suggest in the future that you consider mentioning something about this in a somewhat more specific manner in your edit summaries or even on the talk page. A more knee-jerk-ish response than mine could result in some needlessly ruffled feathers.
Just a thought. Twisted86 20:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you now seem willing to run for adminship... so... Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Stevietheman now exists.
Don't feel obligated to accept it, only my wikistalkers will ever see it so you can decline and nothing much will ever be thought of it. And I assure you, despite the length, I didn't spend so much effort in writing it that I'll be bothered at all if you don't want to accept right now. Also if you need more time, you can wait a few days before accepting the nom. By the way, if you didn't know, RfA can be a bitch so I can't guarantee it will be a pleasant experience for you...
That said, the nom is up and I suggest if you're interested that you take your time answering the questions first, then list it or WP:RFA (a simple transclusion) and follow it and check your e-mail regularly over the next few days. Answer additional questions promptly but don't challenge oppose voters should there be any - if you reply to them it should just be to correct false claims or assumptions they've based their vote on. Of course that's just personal advice, but many an RfA sinks over petty stuff like that.
Anyway good luck, I'll be following the nomination too of course, and you can contact me by e-mail. -- W.marsh 01:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I know RfA is a grueling process, and I do believe that you're a good user. I just can't find any evidence that you really need the tools. Adminship isn't a trophy and it isn't an elevated status; it's an extra responsibility given to those who actively take part in admin-like tasks. I think, personally, that adminship isn't necessary for you - you are a great contributor, but you don't frequently fight vandalism, explain things to newcomers or take part in mediation or take part in XfDs. You do a lot of other things, though: you run a great project, you prod articles, and you work hard on copyediting and wikifying articles. However, any registered user can do these things. I just don't see a need on your part for the "mop and flamethrower", as they're sometimes called. Your experience is more than sufficient and you are a wonderful contributor to the encyclopedia, but I can't see the point in forcing you to do janitorial tasks rather than allowing you to continue to write, copyedit and wikify articles, since you do such a wonderful job with those tasks. Please understand that I think you are a wonderfully talented contributor...I'm just not sure if custodianread:admin is the career for you. (Boy, do I ever sound like a high school guidance counsellor saying that!)
Anyway, I know RfAs are stressful, and I just wanted to let you know that I do think you're a great person and a great editor. Please drop me a line on my talk page or send me an email if you ever need anything. Srose (talk) 19:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, I finished that task. It was manual since you could not simply move the articles since not all of them were about mayors. I also created mayor categories for all of the states that did not have one and added the articles that I could find. The "Leaders of cities..." categories are still valid in a few places since there are people other then mayors who are listed. I'm not sure what is best there to deal with the empty categories. One option would be to add the Mayors of places of into the leaders of cities as a subcat. However given the small number of states with other leaders listed, I'm not sure that is worth the effort. In the end, both the mayors and leaders wind up in a local political leader cat. However, the mayors also wind up in a world wide mayor category. This was not the result of a CfR, it was something I felt was needed to correctly list the US mayors in Category:Mayors by country. Leaving them in leaders of cities was not correct for that category. I did wait till after the rename of Mayors in the US was decided on for the format of the name. So everything I created follows what was approved from the CfR. Vegaswikian 21:19, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I hate to say it, but in my expert opinion of RfA herd mentality, you should probably withdraw because the nature of RfA voters really isn't to support after there are a lot of oppose votes. I'm not the nominator to really challenge opposers either really, though I do think their reasons are kind of lame (but typical RfA stuff, it's best just to be an android and hide any signs of a personality until you're done with RfA). I doubt I'd have any luck changing their minds. Sorry... sometimes the herd just goes the wrong way.
I can't withdraw the nomination though (that would require me to in good faith no longer think you'd make a good admin), but you can withdraw the application. From a purely political perspective it makes your next RfA more likely to succeed, because your first one will not have dragged on for so long and be in everyone's memory so much. But I can't blame you if you just want to see how this one turns out.
I'll nominate you again in 3 months (standard safe turnaround time). Sorry about how this RfA has turned out so far... it's really not your fault at all, many people feel that the longer a candidate has been around, the harder RfA becomes... more time for people to build up the inevitable grudges and so on. But again you can keep the RfA open if you want, and I'll participate in it if I have anything to say. -- W.marsh 14:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I will go ahead and withdraw. The process has become too distracting to the work I would like to accomplish in the Wikipedia. I hope there will be no hard feelings in that. I'm happy to have been nominated. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 14:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I commented out that image, it didn't show up in FireFox last night so I thought it may have been a bad image. I loaded up the page in IE today and it showed up fine, after a little digging I realized what was the problem. FireFox has an adblocker extension and it looks for images with "Ad" in them and blocks them, which was why it didn't show up for me. You might want to rename the file, it's a pretty common FireFox extension. Sorry for the mixup, thanks for reverting it! Happy editing. DrunkenSmurf 02:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I have an article in Word format that I have been working on, about Walnut Street Baptist Church in Louisville. I figured it was relatively worthy of being in wikipedia given the size and influence that this congregation has had. I have edited somethings on wikipedia but I have never actually created an article. Format and what not is an issue. I've run across you on some Louisvile stuff before. HELP !!! :-) please. I am not a member of this congregation (anymore) and it is so farvery neutral. I have about 6 sources including some academic ones. Any help and/or advice would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.101.179.35 ( talk • contribs)
I disagree with your decision to remove the links to the Confederate generals from these articles. I think that because these two governors served while the Confederate governors were "in office," some mention of them should be made in their articles. Perhaps a sentence or two would be more appropriate than a "see also" link, but I think there should be something there.

Greetings. This user page is currently showing up in many article categories due to the templates on the page, and user pages are not supposed to be categorized in that manner.

When you commented out the wikitable for List of graded stakes at Churchill Downs as "incomplete" it was incomplete because I was still in the midst of editing it. When you changed it from a wikitable and moved it, it was due to "common format for list articles", I was willing to defer to your greater experience editing here. Yet, I note lists like List of schools in Louisville and Kentucky Derby winners.

Would like to engage in a third-party peer review. I did a cleanup of the page and moved the blurb about "Race Relations" to History of Cincinnati, Ohio where I felt it was approperiate due to its text on the Underground Railroad, historic race relations, and former race riots. An article is linked to the 2001 race riots, so discussing that on Cincinnati, Ohio or even at History of Cincinnati, Ohio is redundant.
Appearantly someone is not too happy and accused me of glossing over the information to portray the proponents of the race riots in a bad light. I moved it to History as I saw fit (because the entire article was one huge mess), to which it was moved to Government and Politics, which is now named Society. Just needing some opinions on it.

If anyone is wondering, I am reducing my project and work load to the point where I'm mainly working on Louisville-related subjects. This is due to a combination of time constraints and Wiki-burnout. Besides, I already feel I've made a large contribution to Kentucky-related subjects by building up its wikiproject, fixing its category system and securing its place in Civil War history--beyond that, I have to let it go. There's a lot of work to do for my hometown of Louisville and the metro area, and I want to concentrate most of my time on that from here going forward. Stevie is the man!

The frequent Louisville article poster using IP addresses beginning with 4.224, 4.225, and 136.165.88 are all associated with this vandal (a/k/a Brando03, Brandon03, The Br03, and other sock puppets): Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse#Unemployed.2C_living_in_basement.2C_aka_Brando.28n.2903.2C_aka_Louisville_Vandal. The entries using the IP address 136.165.88.21 to vandalize the same user pages as he or she has previously vandalized further confirm this users true identity.

Hey Stevie - I know that you keep a eye on the Colonel Sanders.

Just wanted to let anyone who visits here know that I'm taking some time off (probably just a few weeks) to launch a new Louisville-oriented discussion board as well as work on some other things.
Regarding the board, I am close to announcing a beta version of the new "Louisville History & Issues" discussion board. This will be an open, nonpartisan, democratic (small 'd') discussion board for discussing Louisville-related history and current issues.
I have worked on the board's software off and on for several years, so any glitches should be minimized from the start.
As far as topic areas are concerned, early participants will get the special opportunity to help me shape the names and topics of the various forums that will be included on the discussion board. I've already put together a first draft of my own choices, but feedback is very much welcome.
To join the mailing list for developments about this board, send an email to steve@stevemagruder.com -- all email addresses will be kept confidential as all notification emails will be sent to me with sendto addresses as "bcc". Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 19:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I've been on wikibreak, and am just trying to catch up. Do you want to have two templates for WikiProject Louisville? If not, I can use the bot to switch to the newer one for you. The bot only looks for articles tagged with one tag. I suppose it wouldn't take much effort to allow it to look for two, but I'm not sure when I'd get around to making the change. For now, I've finally switched the watchlist page to using the newer template (although I haven't updated yet -- I expect to do that later tonight after some other tagging is done). Sorry for the delay. Ingrid 02:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
It's no bother at all. It won't affect the bot. On some projects, I've used the bot to help with the assessment. For example, mark all non-article pages with "class=NA", or all articles in a stub category with "class=Stub". Of course, it can't do any of the real work, but can sometimes take care of some of the repetitive stuff. Ingrid 19:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Magruder, do you not believe in objectivity in editing Wikipedia? You recently submitted a recommendation to delete the article for J. Kristian O'Daugherty that I posted. Considering your history and former domestic partnership with Mr. O'Daugherty, and considering the scandal you nearly caused for WikiNews in 2004 related to The Piano Man, which Mr. O'Daugherty had to issue a public statement denouncing your interview and claims, I question your objectivity in making your recommendations. Could you be abusing your position with Wikipedia to retaliate against your former partner over personal issues? I believe the evidence would suggest yes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ilsonlakosky ( talk • contribs) 07:01, 23 December 2006 (UTC).

Sure, if you want to get the newsletter delivered, no problem. However, you need a formatted list of members somewhere on your project page (e.g. like this).

Since you mentioned in an edit summary that this was your first time doing an RfC, and the RfC main page was recently completely reorganized and partly rewritten, I would be interested in knowing if you had any problems or suggestions about the process. — Centrx→ talk • 08:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Stevie, thanks for the conciliatory words. I am surprised at your belief that there is consensus about this issue. I point out that the David Oberst's 'complete revamp' was quite extreme, and made in advance of (any apparent) public consensus building. Further, his reasoning for his 'complete revamp' remains obscure. I cannot find evidence of his explanation. Indeed, if the editors there were to actually make an argument explaining the 'complete revamp' I may still agree. As things stand, I was left out of the process leading up to this drastic 'complete revamp'. And, reviewing the eight questions I asked on July 31st, about eight were left unanswered. Perhaps you can agree that, from my perspective at least, it does not look like a built consensus, it looks more like a bullrush. Two to one win a 3RR game. Can't we use reason instead of revert war?

In case you didn't keep republican democracy on your watchlist, there is a current (actually, appears stalled) AfD discussion for a related article constitutional republic. In commenting there, I also found constitutional democracy which is again covering overlapping ground. It looks like there is a logical argument for consolidating these three at constitutional democracy (with appropriate distinction of republics vs. non-republics, and whatever might turn up on how/where the phrases are used). This would prevent multiple independent (and conflicting) treatment of related phrases, since most of the key information is common to liberal democracy. - David Oberst 02:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
AH! I see you've started looking at the Kentucky Regions articles and pulling them into WikiProject Kentucky. They don't seem to line up with the ones I remember from School.

Thanks for adding the category Kentucky in the Civil War. I created similar cats for my native Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I really appreciate your efforts. I tended to add the politicians that served during the war years, leading generals and naval officers, civilians that made an impact on the war, places and events. Also take a look at Ohio in the Civil War as an example of a main article that you can use as a template for a similar article on Kentucky. Good work! Scott Mingus 18:26, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Good job on this.
When I first saw the cat removal on a page on my watchlist, I was startled. I did some digging and found out the American Civil War cat is waaaay overpopulated and so sub-cats are being urged. So, again, good gnoming!
I would suggest in the future that you consider mentioning something about this in a somewhat more specific manner in your edit summaries or even on the talk page. A more knee-jerk-ish response than mine could result in some needlessly ruffled feathers.
Just a thought. Twisted86 20:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you now seem willing to run for adminship... so... Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Stevietheman now exists.
Don't feel obligated to accept it, only my wikistalkers will ever see it so you can decline and nothing much will ever be thought of it. And I assure you, despite the length, I didn't spend so much effort in writing it that I'll be bothered at all if you don't want to accept right now. Also if you need more time, you can wait a few days before accepting the nom. By the way, if you didn't know, RfA can be a bitch so I can't guarantee it will be a pleasant experience for you...
That said, the nom is up and I suggest if you're interested that you take your time answering the questions first, then list it or WP:RFA (a simple transclusion) and follow it and check your e-mail regularly over the next few days. Answer additional questions promptly but don't challenge oppose voters should there be any - if you reply to them it should just be to correct false claims or assumptions they've based their vote on. Of course that's just personal advice, but many an RfA sinks over petty stuff like that.
Anyway good luck, I'll be following the nomination too of course, and you can contact me by e-mail. -- W.marsh 01:11, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I know RfA is a grueling process, and I do believe that you're a good user. I just can't find any evidence that you really need the tools. Adminship isn't a trophy and it isn't an elevated status; it's an extra responsibility given to those who actively take part in admin-like tasks. I think, personally, that adminship isn't necessary for you - you are a great contributor, but you don't frequently fight vandalism, explain things to newcomers or take part in mediation or take part in XfDs. You do a lot of other things, though: you run a great project, you prod articles, and you work hard on copyediting and wikifying articles. However, any registered user can do these things. I just don't see a need on your part for the "mop and flamethrower", as they're sometimes called. Your experience is more than sufficient and you are a wonderful contributor to the encyclopedia, but I can't see the point in forcing you to do janitorial tasks rather than allowing you to continue to write, copyedit and wikify articles, since you do such a wonderful job with those tasks. Please understand that I think you are a wonderfully talented contributor...I'm just not sure if custodianread:admin is the career for you. (Boy, do I ever sound like a high school guidance counsellor saying that!)
Anyway, I know RfAs are stressful, and I just wanted to let you know that I do think you're a great person and a great editor. Please drop me a line on my talk page or send me an email if you ever need anything. Srose (talk) 19:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, I finished that task. It was manual since you could not simply move the articles since not all of them were about mayors. I also created mayor categories for all of the states that did not have one and added the articles that I could find. The "Leaders of cities..." categories are still valid in a few places since there are people other then mayors who are listed. I'm not sure what is best there to deal with the empty categories. One option would be to add the Mayors of places of into the leaders of cities as a subcat. However given the small number of states with other leaders listed, I'm not sure that is worth the effort. In the end, both the mayors and leaders wind up in a local political leader cat. However, the mayors also wind up in a world wide mayor category. This was not the result of a CfR, it was something I felt was needed to correctly list the US mayors in Category:Mayors by country. Leaving them in leaders of cities was not correct for that category. I did wait till after the rename of Mayors in the US was decided on for the format of the name. So everything I created follows what was approved from the CfR. Vegaswikian 21:19, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I hate to say it, but in my expert opinion of RfA herd mentality, you should probably withdraw because the nature of RfA voters really isn't to support after there are a lot of oppose votes. I'm not the nominator to really challenge opposers either really, though I do think their reasons are kind of lame (but typical RfA stuff, it's best just to be an android and hide any signs of a personality until you're done with RfA). I doubt I'd have any luck changing their minds. Sorry... sometimes the herd just goes the wrong way.
I can't withdraw the nomination though (that would require me to in good faith no longer think you'd make a good admin), but you can withdraw the application. From a purely political perspective it makes your next RfA more likely to succeed, because your first one will not have dragged on for so long and be in everyone's memory so much. But I can't blame you if you just want to see how this one turns out.
I'll nominate you again in 3 months (standard safe turnaround time). Sorry about how this RfA has turned out so far... it's really not your fault at all, many people feel that the longer a candidate has been around, the harder RfA becomes... more time for people to build up the inevitable grudges and so on. But again you can keep the RfA open if you want, and I'll participate in it if I have anything to say. -- W.marsh 14:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I will go ahead and withdraw. The process has become too distracting to the work I would like to accomplish in the Wikipedia. I hope there will be no hard feelings in that. I'm happy to have been nominated. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 14:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I commented out that image, it didn't show up in FireFox last night so I thought it may have been a bad image. I loaded up the page in IE today and it showed up fine, after a little digging I realized what was the problem. FireFox has an adblocker extension and it looks for images with "Ad" in them and blocks them, which was why it didn't show up for me. You might want to rename the file, it's a pretty common FireFox extension. Sorry for the mixup, thanks for reverting it! Happy editing. DrunkenSmurf 02:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I have an article in Word format that I have been working on, about Walnut Street Baptist Church in Louisville.

I disagree with your decision to remove the links to the Confederate generals from these articles. I think that because these two governors served while the Confederate governors were "in office," some mention of them should be made in their articles. Perhaps a sentence or two would be more appropriate than a "see also" link, but I think there should be something there.

I can certainly do that for you. Do you use a template to tag the articles? Do you want to? It can help people find the project. If so, WatchlistBot can be run regularly to put the tag on the talk pages. For now, I'll put creating a watchlist from the articles in those categories on my to do list (I have no idea when I'll get to it -- could be tonight, maybe not for a week or two). I'll post here when it's done. Ingrid 03:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Greetings. This user page is currently showing up in many article categories due to the templates on the page, and user pages are not supposed to be categorized in that manner. One possible fix would be to subst all the templates on this page, and then remove all the categories, or you could also ask an admin for a speedy delete of the entire page if you don't really need it. Thanks for working with me on this, and if you should have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask. This is just a part of my ongoing effort to clean up Wikipedia categories. Stevie is the man!

I noticed your category edits for Georgia in the Civil War. When you add a battle article to a category you should provide a sort key so that they do not all sort under the letter B. Example:
[[Category:Georgia in the Civil War|Honey Hill]]

The new developments section is under dispute. One IP user wishes to introduce a statement with no citations that contains original research. Despite my citation needed statement, which was removed, multiple deletions by myself and others, and general ad homiem attacks in the talk page, I would like to hear your opinion on how to proceed. I planned on to letting it slide as a general error in editing (if he/she was not familar with the procedures), but it seems as if the user does not read what is provided through his talk page.

How did you go about adveritising your WikiProject to find interested editors? -- Chris Griswold ( ☏) 17:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
at Cave Hill Cemetery. I did a smash-and-grab number on it earlier and knew, i just knew, that the title that i gave that section was not real good, but, i did it anyway. So here's a carptrash thumbs up award for your efforts. Carptrash 06:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
When you commented out the wikitable for List of graded stakes at Churchill Downs as "incomplete" it was incomplete because I was still in the midst of editing it. When you changed it from a wikitable and moved it, it was due to "common format for list articles", I was willing to defer to your greater experience editing here. Yet, I note lists like List of schools in Louisville and Kentucky Derby winners. Would it be okay if I wikitabled the stakes races, poss adding whether they are run in the spring or fall meet and the most recent winner? Thanks UnseemlyWeasel 09:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I missed where you restored the link at George Rogers Clark before. I initially removed the link because the IP address, along with some others, added more than a hundred links to that site and continued after being warned.

Consensus or not, a cheesburger is a derivative ogf a hamburger. There is no contreversy sourrounding that. Just because Louisville wants special recognition doesn't mean that cheeseburger gets its own page. It's completely and utterly rediculous, and any idiot could understand it.

I wanted to let you know that last night I made an article for Fort Duffield, a fort built in 1862 at West Point, Kentucky to protect Louisville. It needs filling out, and I wasn't sure if your Louisville in the Civil War article should include it or not.-- Bedford 16:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I just started one for Fort DeWolf, but I don't fill like filling it out tonight (I've just taken almost 60 pictures in the past 2 days for Wikipedia; I need a break ;-) )It's rather interesting.

The Bardstown Boaters is a non-profit organization invovled with river cleanups and getting a park built at the Beech Fork of the Salt River in Bardstown. Those are our main modes of operation. I guess when the group becomes notible enough by you, you can list us yourself.
Would like to engage in a third-party peer review. I did a cleanup of the page and moved the blurb about "Race Relations" to History of Cincinnati, Ohio where I felt it was approperiate due to its text on the Underground Railroad, historic race relations, and former race riots. An article is linked to the 2001 race riots, so discussing that on Cincinnati, Ohio or even at History of Cincinnati, Ohio is redundant.
Appearantly someone is not too happy and accused me of glossing over the information to portray the proponents of the race riots in a bad light. I moved it to History as I saw fit (because the entire article was one huge mess), to which it was moved to Government and Politics, which is now named Society. Just needing some opinions on it.

Hey Stevietheman. I'm using popups so I didn't get a chance to explain.

If anyone is wondering, I am reducing my project and work load to the point where I'm mainly working on Louisville-related subjects. This is due to a combination of time constraints and Wiki-burnout. Besides, I already feel I've made a large contribution to Kentucky-related subjects by building up its wikiproject, fixing its category system and securing its place in Civil War history--beyond that, I have to let it go. There's a lot of work to do for my hometown of Louisville and the metro area, and I want to concentrate most of my time on that from here going forward. Stevie is the man!

Hey Stevie - I know that you keep a eye on the Colonel Sanders.

Just wanted to let anyone who visits here know that I'm taking some time off (probably just a few weeks) to launch a new Louisville-oriented discussion board as well as work on some other things.
Regarding the board, I am close to announcing a beta version of the new "Louisville History & Issues" discussion board. This will be an open, nonpartisan, democratic (small 'd') discussion board for discussing Louisville-related history and current issues.
I have worked on the board's software off and on for several years, so any glitches should be minimized from the start.
As far as topic areas are concerned, early participants will get the special opportunity to help me shape the names and topics of the various forums that will be included on the discussion board. I've already put together a first draft of my own choices, but feedback is very much welcome.
To join the mailing list for developments about this board, send an email to steve@stevemagruder.com -- all email addresses will be kept confidential as all notification emails will be sent to me with sendto addresses as "bcc". Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 19:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Could you examine the article for Southeast Christian Church and see if it is objective enough? I edited it after someone splashed a bunch of scripture all over it.

I've been on wikibreak, and am just trying to catch up. Do you want to have two templates for WikiProject Louisville? If not, I can use the bot to switch to the newer one for you. The bot only looks for articles tagged with one tag. I suppose it wouldn't take much effort to allow it to look for two, but I'm not sure when I'd get around to making the change. For now, I've finally switched the watchlist page to using the newer template (although I haven't updated yet -- I expect to do that later tonight after some other tagging is done). Sorry for the delay. Ingrid 02:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
It's no bother at all. It won't affect the bot. On some projects, I've used the bot to help with the assessment. For example, mark all non-article pages with "class=NA", or all articles in a stub category with "class=Stub". Of course, it can't do any of the real work, but can sometimes take care of some of the repetitive stuff. Ingrid 19:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Magruder, do you not believe in objectivity in editing Wikipedia? You recently submitted a recommendation to delete the article for J. Kristian O'Daugherty that I posted. Considering your history and former domestic partnership with Mr. O'Daugherty, and considering the scandal you nearly caused for WikiNews in 2004 related to The Piano Man, which Mr. O'Daugherty had to issue a public statement denouncing your interview and claims, I question your objectivity in making your recommendations. Could you be abusing your position with Wikipedia to retaliate against your former partner over personal issues? I believe the evidence would suggest yes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ilsonlakosky ( talk • contribs) 07:01, 23 December 2006 (UTC).
Hi,
Sure, if you want to get the newsletter delivered, no problem. However, you need a formatted list of members somewhere on your project page (e.g. like this). It is also highly advisable to have an opt-out page/section somewhere (like in Outreach for milhist project), for those who would choose not to recieve the newsletter.
