Heads up
Hey, congrats on your new DYK. Those good people on the DYK have been very kind to me: I got three Did You Know? notices over a four-day period (May 30-June 2). What have you been up to on Wikipedia? Ecoleetage (talk) 12:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I got my second DYK today -- making it four in four days! I need a drink (vodka tonic - Stoli - not so much ice, too).  The GA on that article didn't fly, and I am not pursuing it at the moment.  I have a full plate, online and offline, so I will return there when I have a moment.  I appreciate your kind words on my writing here -- and I'll be on the lookout for more of your fine work! Ecoleetage (talk) 18:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Chomp on this, Collin

Marie Powers
Hey, thanks for your copy editing on my new article about Marie Powers. Hope all is well with you! Ecoleetage (talk) 01:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, the usual stuff: creating new articles, trying to improve upon existing ones (like 1984 (opera)), doing AfD activities (non-admin closures, nominating articles, voting on articles). Also trying to use Wikipedia to improve my English (I am not a native speaker). Oh, did you ever look at my John Stewart Socha article? He is a Minnesota guy.  Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * John Stewart Socha should be in the WikiProject Minnesota section - I put that template in his article's Talk Page. Yes, I was born in Mozambique to Portuguese parents and raised in Portugal.  I actually learned English the worst way, when I was living in Malta -- they have a peculiar mix of their language and the British style of English.  Many people have no clue where I am from when they actually hear my voice, because I have three different accents hitting them at once. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I divide my residence among several locations. My user name is based on the name I gave myself, Eco Lee Tage.  Where does your user name come from? Ecoleetage (talk) 02:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)-

Sorry about that.--Appraiser (talk) 22:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Reflist
Hello I noticed this edit from June 6 on Pennsylvania Military Museum and was wondering is there a reason that one is preferred over the other? The museum was my first article and I haven't been very active until lately, when I have worked on one topic area. I have actually used the template since discovering it (I read Wikipedia pages more than I edit - at least before the last few days) but I was just wondering if you knew the benefit of it over the references/. --Aujourd'hui, maman est morte (talk) 03:32, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's exactly the reason I started using it, thanks. --Aujourd'hui, maman est morte (talk) 03:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The Mad Adventures of Eco Lee Tage
Hey there, thanks for the kind note!

Me: Well, the DYK folks have been very kind to me lately, too, and I am very grateful that they consider my contributions to be worthy of their praise. I've been writing articles on a variety of topics, and I have a to-do list to add more goodies to the site.

I've also been active in the Welcoming Committee, as I am eager to see that new editors receive a positive and inclusive first message. I am also doing work in the AfD section (nominating articles, offering input for consensus, doing non-admin closures) and I am reviewing new pages for approval (which I prefer) or pegging them for speedy deletion (which is sad -- why would anyone want to create something that will be erased within minutes?). I also try to help out people where and when I can, and I offer as much encouragement and praise to the other editors here, too.

I should congratulate you on your GA honour -- I am so happy to hear about that.

Thanks for thinking of me! I hope the day is good for you! Ecoleetage (talk) 12:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

T:TDYK
While you're looking at that page, can you also look at the first entry (on Muhammad al-Shaybani) in the section "Articles created/expanded on June 12"? Thanks.Bless sins (talk) 01:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

RE:WP Jordan Assessment
Yes, I recently created the "latter" template you were talking about. I just based it on the template. I'm not very good at this kind of thing. Could you tell me the exact problem with the temp I created. I'm just trying to jumpstart this WikiProject. --Al Ameer son (talk) 15:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ohhhhh, well that's not a problem at all actually. The statistics are updated by a bot every 4-5 days. So, no it wont' appear immediately, but it will appear. If it does not do so in 4-5 days, then we have a problem. Cheers and thanks for joining! --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Had no idea about those cats. Could you give me the link? --Al Ameer son (talk) 19:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

DYK
C-0: I notice that some of my DYKs such as Mango House, Municipality of Salt, and Al-Mufti House are credited to you in your talk archives. Why is this? Will they count towards you? Because the notification thingy says "...which you started or significantly expanded..." I'm actually the one who started/expanded them, so that's why I was wondering... ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 03:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Do not remove DYKz
No, you don't need to remove the DYK thingies from your page. Did you get the DYK medal for nominating lots of articles or for expanding them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldud (talk • contribs) 10:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

JRF source verification
The sources from both JRF and Bani Hamida info plaques. ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 10:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC) Duh Dood: What other !@#$% plaque is there?? ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 10:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC) Ahh, I see. I'll get pix of those when I return, OK? ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 05:12, 28 June 2008 (UTC) Well, JRF got featured. I guess we don't have to worry anymore. ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 03:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey there
Hey there, just wanted to see how life was (mis)treating you. Hope all is well. Ecoleetage (talk) 04:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again. What am I up to? Online: writing articles, doing the usual Wiki-wacky stuff (a lot of AfD stuff -- this one is a new favourite, and feel free to chime in).  Offline, did some travel (caught the Euro 2008 soccer matches, caught a stomach bug, caught a plane to San Francisco, caught a sinus infection) and assorted home repairs.  Good to hear from you -- and I will check out that typing monkey site (looks like fun). Ecoleetage (talk) 13:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * PS Have you ever thought of becoming a Wikipedia administrator? I think you would be excellent in that capacity. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi again. Of course, being an admin, you also get to help keep articles that are being threatened with extinction. Eh, give it some thought -- you would be a good man for the job. In any event, I am glad to see you around.  Stay well and stay in touch. Ecoleetage (talk) 20:10, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

New Minnesota article
Hey there! I just put up a new Minnesota article (a stub, really) and linked it to WikiProject Minnesota; you may want to mark it off for the WikiProject. Check it out: Central Boiler. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 18:50, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup, I wanted to keep it stubby -- it is a rewrite of a piece that got deleted for being too spammy. For the time being, I want to keep it as a stub -- strictly business, no product promo.  Not much here to report, outside of a couple of sinus infections.  Hope all is well with you. Ecoleetage (talk) 14:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Leona Lewis on The X Factor - nominated for deletion (again)
The article Leona Lewis on The X Factor has been nominated for deletion again. I noticed that you were a contributor on the discussion for the first nomination, and your opinions on this topic would be valuable once again. Please feel free to offer your comments to the discussion. Thanks — Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 11:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Abdali Overall Project.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Abdali Overall Project.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:21, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Jabal Amman assessment rating.
Bobamnertiopsis: Since I know that you have been part of WikiProject Jordan as well as part of evaluating the Jordan-related articles, I was wondering about the abysmal rating for the "importance" of the Jabal Amman article. Someone ranked it as "mid-level" importance, when I believe it should be highest level of importance. Jabal Amman, possibly more than any neighborhood in Amman, represents Jordan's deep cultural heritage and for this reason I believe that it should be up-rated. Since you have been involved in accessing these articles, I was wondering if you could possibly change the rating. The rating is available in the Jabal Amman talk page. Thanks....ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 14:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Cheese pudding
Thanks for your !vote but I made it and it wasn't that tasty lol, like in between rice pudding and cheesecake, quite bland.:) There's a recipe in one of the early versions of the article if you want to try it:) Sticky Parkin 18:53, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: No Age
Sorry, its Reference 4. If you see Reference 4, you'll see a box, something like that and that needs to be fixed. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

New library articles
I've created a few new articles about libraries in the Minneapolis Public Library system that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places:
 * Linden Hills Branch Library
 * Hosmer Community Library
 * Walker Branch Library

Since you've worked on some of these library articles in the past, I thought I'd let you know, in case you had any ideas for expansion or revision or whatever. I'm not sure if the title "Branch Library" has been replaced by "Community Library" now, so I just used the National Register names for Linden Hills and Walker. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 21:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Do either of you know if Walker Branch Library is a Carnegie Library? It sure looks like it to me.--Appraiser (talk) 21:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't see anything in my sources about it being a Carnegie library. The only donation I saw was the land donated by T. B. Walker.  I'm not sure if there's really much of an architectural distinction between Carnegie and non-Carnegie libraries of the period, to be honest.  I suppose if I really wanted to check if it were a Carnegie library, I'd watch the closing credits and see if it says: "Funding for the Walker Library is made possible by the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, and viewers like you."  (Oops, that's PBS.)  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Ship ahoy!
Hey, pal, how goes it? What is new/different/exciting? Me: after my RfA fizzled, I rebounded with being elected a coordinator at WikiProject Films. Plus, I am still writing and editing, and still having DYK fun (which I have you to thank -- you pointed me in that direction). Let me know what you are working on. Hope all is well. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I am glad I got in touch: I just posted a Minnesota-based article for AfD. Here is the link  - you are closer to this than I am, so I hope you can check it out.  If I am off-base, let me know.  Cheers! Ecoleetage (talk) 00:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Azraq
OK, so 15,000 characters, huh? That's a lot, but I'm sure it's possible. It might require a lot of stuff about the history, and stuff like that. I have a few more "poster" sources I could use, but that wouldn't add a lot of stuff. What else? Well, we could do something about RSCN's efforts to save it...I'll think about it, but 15,000 sounds pretty big. Also, don't they take into account that the previous version had no refs, and therefore any of those 3000 words could have been unverifiable? ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 04:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC) But I don't understand what those books could do for us if we didn't have them. It's not like we can read them online, right? Or can we...? What do you think of my "poster" refs? I know the referencing style is clumsy, but at least it's verifiable. At this point, I really don't think it could make dyk. ل داد (Ldud) (talk) 03:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

InsideNorthside - A North Minneapolis Encyclopedia
Hi, I noticed you've edited some articles related to North Minneapolis and I wanted to tell you about a project I'm involved in called InsideNorthside. It's basically a wikipedia for North Minneapolis, built on wikispaces (which is a bit more user-friendly then mediawiki, though not nearly as robust). Anyways, wanted you to know. I'm trying to find some wiki experts to help build an initial user base for the site. Check it out and let me know what you think. http://insidenorthside.org —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariahfine (talk • contribs) 01:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
