Mason County District Library
Doug - Nice MCDL article - there is an item that needs to be clarified. When the library district was created in 1994 with the merger of the Ludington City Library and the County Library in Scottville - the promise was made to maintain as much as possible 2 fully functioning library - and that neither would be consider a 'branch' of the other. So while we do talk of the Ludington 'branch' or the Scottville 'branch' - they are each fully independent libraries maintaining the same open hours. The Mason County District Library is the formal name of the administration for both libraries but each library continues to be known as either the Ludington Library or the Scottville Library. --Kumatage (talk) 13:40, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Did You Know problem
Hi. I've reviewed your DYK submission for the article Vita Karoli Magni, and made a comment on it at the submissions page. Please feel free to reply or comment there. Cheers, Art LaPella (talk) 01:50, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Adding the word "medieval" solved the problem so it could be approved as a DYK. --Doug Coldwell talk 23:27, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

DYK ~ Sumerian Farmer's Almanac
Interesting article! Thanks for creating and nominating. Hassocks 5489 (tickets please!)  17:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Articles
Please remember to do things like linking Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers from Woodville's article, which already mentioned it. Johnbod (talk) 13:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks for reminder. I'll double check to see if I can find additional links. If you will notice in the last couple of hours I have been linking my new article Historiae animalium (Gesner) with a dozen or so links (+ REDIRECT) to the appropriate articles and Aristotle's History of Animals to his appropriate articles. --Doug Coldwell talk 13:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I recently wrote this article. Can I upload this photo from Flicker and use it on the article? Does it have the appropriate copyright tags where we can use it? Will look back here for an answer, thanks. --Doug Coldwell talk 23:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

William Munroe (pencil maker)
I've removed the genealogical table from this article, as it is not encyclopedic content. Such level of detail is not appropriate except in rare cases such as royal/noble families. Wikipedia cannot serve as a webhost for genealogical material full of non-notable persons. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

5 article DYK
No problem; thanks for your message, and I'll try to take a look soon. Actually, as for the length, you're in luck because we're generally more lenient about length with multi-article hooks...I don't know a specific number, but we sometimes let people go over 200 if there are a lot of articles (although, of course, under 200 is always nice if it's possible). I've only seen one other five-article hook before, about William Wordsworth and the Lucy poems and stuff like that; I've heard stories of a 7-article hook once sometime in the past, but that was before I was on Wikipedia. &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 14:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Davidson armored car 1915.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Davidson armored car 1915.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Tagged with public domain. Picture taken and published in 1915. --Doug Coldwell talk 22:15, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

5th

 * Thanks for "5th" article. That's great having that many articles in one hook. I'll never be able to do that or even write up more than 5 articles at once. --Doug Coldwell talk 13:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

9 articles!
RE this: if there were a Holy Shit Barnstar, I would be giving it to you right now! &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 20:38, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * That new hook looks fine, and as Gatoclass said, we generally ignore the 200-character rule with multi-article hooks like that, and use more of a 250- or 300-character rule. Unfortunately, I don't think I should be the one to [[Image:Symbol confirmed.svg|18px]] your nomination, because one of the users who chose to comment on it is a user that I have a history with and might just try to start a fight if I make any more comments there, so for everyone's sake and for the sake of keeping things running smoothly I'm trying to avoid that one right now; someone else will probably take a look at it before long.  If it starts getting late and no one has reviewed it, then I can BOLDly jump in and do it.  Best, &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 15:16, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Record
How long was your record of an 8-article hook?

It would have been nice to be able to say I held it for a year, but thanks to you, eleven months :/ Gatoclass (talk) 06:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Congrats
Congradulations on your 9 article DYK hook. Here's a snappy for your wallet. : ) -- Suntag  ☼  13:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Fantastic! —Wknight94 (talk) 14:25, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Nicely Done! Please update your stats at List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs. I can only count up to a hundred or so. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 15:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * My congratulations also :) Gatoclass (talk) 17:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Amazing! Well done. - PKM (talk) 17:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I created DYK hooks with 5 or more DYK articles to keep track of this. If you know of other hooks that had 5 or more DYK articles, please add them to "DYK hooks with 5 or more DYK articles". -- Suntag  ☼  23:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

A ref appears to have been deleted during editing. As you created the article maybe you are best suited to try to fix it. Mjroots (talk) 18:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Style manual
Please note: per Manual of Style, Primary Sources with a capital S, is incorrect in a section heading; the correct form is Primary sources. I've taken care of this in several articles you wrote. I also changed some hyphens to ndashes when they're for ranges of pages or years or other numbers, and to mdashes when they're for parenthetical offsets. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Accolades
Appreciate the 9 accolades for today's DYK. However, for what-ever-reason you doubled up on the credits and gave them to me twice. Very busy schedule, I would guess. I believe the 9-article hook is now a record that I broke from the previous 8-article hook done by User:Gatoclass. --Doug Coldwell talk 13:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You mean the bot did. Are you aware it is an automated process? Please don't say I doubled them up manually. --BorgQueen (talk) 22:34, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
