Girardville
Dincher, I have noticed that the Girardville page is always being reverted back. Why not allow someone to add information about Girardville??? It is known through the coal region for it's restraunts. There is more to Girardville then Black Jack Kehoe and the Molly Maguires!! Thanks...MM3573 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madman3573 (talk • contribs) 04:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If you took the time to check your spelling, I'd be happy to leave it. Dincher (talk) 04:19, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

I didn't add anything to the article lately. I was just browsing and noticed the edit. Yes, my spelling is terrible.--Madman3573 (talk) 06:52, 14 October 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your help. --Madman3573 (talk) 02:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Dincher, could you please not delete my section on the page Plum, PA about the tennis team, I really am a member of the team and the information is real.Lymtudor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lymtudor (talk • contribs) 18:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Great Swamp
Hi Dincher, I was wondering if, given your knowledge and experience in geography articles, you could give me some suggestions about the Great Swamp (New York) that I'm working on in my sandbox. Maybe you know of some good resources? Thanks in advance, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  23:26, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell, some of it is state-maintained per, though I'm not entirely sure yet if it is in its entirety. Thanks for the suggestions. I went to look in the Patterson, New York historical society website, and I already found quite a bit of history. Just more quick question; would you say this qualifies as a reliable source for this type of article? –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  23:38, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That's ok, when you have a chance is fine. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  23:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, thanks for taking a look. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  11:24, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

More swamps
I looked up Dismal Swamp State Park on USGS GNIS here and they have the coordiantes of the park as 363046N 0762459W (here]. Do you still want me to look up the visitor's center?

Colton Point is still not all done / ready for PR. Could you weigh in on the picture question for the Conservation section on the talk page? Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 00:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for weighing in on the pic, I added the cropped version of the more visible cabin. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the DYK hook idea very much - it is a very short hook, so not sure if you want to add to it? ...that George Washington called Dismal Swamp a "glorious paradise" and now it is a North Carolina state park? Ruhrfisch  &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Good luck - I added a new Pine Creek pic to Colton Point in the IBA section. I like it a lot, but could be biased a bit. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thnaks, there is also Image:Pine Creek Wildflowers.jpg, which is pretty but does not show the creek. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 15:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed - the yellow flowers are goldenrod, also unsure of the rest. Perhaps this could be used in an expanded Pine Creek Gorge article sometime. I will try to get Colton Point ready for PR tonight (last expansion). Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Good idea, feel free to ask. I have someone off wiki I can ask if needed. Thanks for signing up as a PR volunteer! Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand cutting back - are you interested in the PA National Natural Landmarks or state forest natural and wild areas? Similar to state parks in some ways. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

(out) There is a nice book on state forest wild areas on Google Books here. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:35, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a list of National Natural Landmarks in Pennsylvania here. The state forest articles seem like the place for short sections on Natural Areas. I left a warning on the editor's talk page - vandalism only accounts get blocked pretty quickly. Thanks for the heads up Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 21:19, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It is ready for PR from my end - I need to beef up a few of the book refs that do not list pages and write the Leonard Harrison red link article. Do you want to nominate it or shall I? Thanks for being patient and feedback on the history expansion is always welcome. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The nom is in at Peer review/Colton Point State Park/archive1. The last FAC I nominated had its only oppose because there were book refs without specific page numbers, so I need to go back and find page numbers for all of the books (oh joy). Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 16:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will also go back at some point and add page numbers to the other FAC refs that lack them. Fun, fun, fun. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 16:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I always try to go into FAC with all known potential porblems fixed or at least addressed. Still agree on the groans. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 16:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I aksed Finetooth to look at the PR - anyone else to ask? Also should we try and add any more info on Colton from what Pat found? Maybe as a note in the CPSP article? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 21:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. I will try and write a note - I have PR chores and a PR to do, plus an FAC to weigh in on, plus some things in real life, so I will just ask Pat for the refs now. ENjoy the game, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Pine Creek flowers

DYK for Dismal Swamp State Park

 * Woohoo! Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:51, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much
Thanks very much for the barnstar - I had never seen it before, but appreciate it very much. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 00:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Featured list candidates/2002 NFL Expansion Draft
Please see if current revisions have addressed your concern and improved the list enough to ochange your mind. The intro section was considerably revamped. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.--2008Olympian chitchatseemywork 07:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Colton Point
I need to add pages for five books, three of which I have to get at the library again. I also need to add the Colton note and start the Leonard Harrison article. I think I can get this all done by tomorrow (Sat.) - is that OK? Congrats on the pup - what kind did you get? Look forward to seeing it in your pictures! Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, Colton Point is ready for FAC. I will close the Peer Review next, but will wait to make sure going to FAC is OK with you for half an hour. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:37, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The nom is in at Featured article candidates/Colton Point State Park. Fingers crossed, now to do my PR chores for the night. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your edits - I love the new lead in the Pine Creek Gorge section. I made a locator map for that section - it is on the talk page. DOes it look OK to add? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I am done through Modern era and will be busy the next few hours - will drop you a note before editing again. Thanks, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 21:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I will work a bit on Leonard Harrison for a DYK nom and then try and finish the FAC comments starting in about half an hour. Is that OK? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:34, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The DYK nom is in, I rearranged the pics in the start of LHSP and added the map. Will work on the FAC comments next. Have a good night, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

oh well My first failed DYK nom. Thinking more about GAs, if you don't have time, don't worry about it. Have a good one, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You know, I remember you nominating Selinsgrove Speedway, sorry it didn't make it. The Cherry Springs article is great and is by Tim Morey (of the Leonard Harrison / Colton Point Spotlight article fame) so I think it is reliable, we just need to find where it was originally published and can link the online version. I also have two recent newspaper articles on the Lumberjack festival there. Guess it can be a FA too. Actually the information on Route 44 in the online source you found is great for Upper Pine Bottom history too. Maybe there are no PA state parks that can be only GA (except maybe Rush and Hillman ;-) ). Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:46, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the Dodgers. Have a good night, I am signing off. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:21, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * None of the teams I root for are in the playoffs, so I am not following them too closely this year. Have a good one, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 11:23, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Colton Point State Park
Congratulations on the FA to you and Ruhrfisch. Well done. :-) –Juliancolton <sup style="color:#666660;">Tropical <sup style="color:#666660;">Cyclone  16:35, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know and for sending out thanks - I will thank Ealdgyth and David Fuchs for checking refs and images. Do you still want to work on Oil Creek together next? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 16:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I was planning on getting Sonestown Covered Bridge to FA next - the covered bridge FL attempt has to wait until I get at least a start article and picture for Knapps Covered Bridge in Bradford County. I have the DYK hook for it too - it is the highest covered bridge above the water in Pennsylvania. I have also been thinking of working on some GAs too - Lairdsville Covered Bridge (have a DYK hook for that too - the county had it repaired by prisoners to save money) and Hyner View State Park. Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 17:39, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * My congrats too on yet another excellent article. Your work on these parks is quite impressive. Finetooth (talk) 18:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand - I am also busier in real life. Would it be easier for you to try and get some more state parks to GA? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:57, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * My thought was that if there were articles that had little or no chance of becoming FA, they could be GA. Of the 21 Must See parks, Cherry Springs State Park and Hyner View State Park seem like they would be hardest to get to FA. Some of the other state parks (Sand Bridge, Upper Pine Bottom, Allegheny Islands, seem like they could not get higher than GA either). Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Picture question
I uploaded some more pictures of Hillsgrove Covered Bridge on Commons - do any of the new pix seem like they should be in the article instead of what is there now? Thanks in advance for your opiniuon / advice, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 17:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Cherryville, Pennsylvania Zip code 18035 is in Lehigh Township, Northampton County. Checked on Google Earth and the PennDOT map. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:05, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Stillwater
If there is a notable reference in fiction then I have seen it listed in the article for a town - Scranton has a section on The Office (US TV series), which is set there. I think the problem with adding Jethro to the article on Stillwater is a lack of a reference. Until there is a ref, keep it out. If there is a ref, add it briefly. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:16, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. I left a note on the IP user's talk page. Crazy day today. Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You are very welcome - I have also watchlisted Stillwater. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 15:28, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Fowlers Hollow State Park
Thanks for adding the history section, I just saw the cut and paste copyvio but did not have time to clean it up. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 18:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

(South) Renovo
I got a picture of Renovo and added it to the article. Also got this photo of South Renovo, which confirms the other photo is of South Renovo (the twin cities of Clinton County). Not sure it is better than the one already in the article. ;-) Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad you like the pix - I have a fair number more to upload. Looking forward to the new Great Lake of the South article ;-) Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I uploaded a few more Hyner View pics to Commons. Have pics of S.B. Elliott and a few surprises to upload too. Do you think the DCNR is adding more history to their state park web pages? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

S. B. Elliott
I added three images to the S. B. Elliott State Park article and have a total of 14 images for it on Commons. Feel free to swap out images if you like others better. There are two NRHP historic districts within the park and their forms have some info that could be added. The DCNR page also seems to have more history than I recalled seeing before on the park. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I figure with time we can get pics of all 120 (me, Flickr, whoever). I have a lot more Upper Pine Bottom pix I need to upload, and a bunch from Snyder-Middleswarth too. I also have pix of two more covered bridges to upload, but am waiting to write start articles for DYKs (Knapps and a Union County one). Do you think the stone latrine pic should be in the article? My thought was it could be a possible April Fools DYK pic in 2009. I am glad they are putting more history on line. Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The April Fools DYK rules are relaxed - the article just has to be expanded 5x in the past year. I figure a log cabin tool shed and a stone latrine on the NRHP are DYK worthy. My worry is more that since we had 6 latrines in DYK last April Fools, this might be seen as too similar. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Good idea - thanks, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:12, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Mark Rubin
You've got a good article going on Mark Rubin. Did you nominate it for a DYK? It's got a great hook. DYK that Mark Rubin a safety for the # 2 Penn State Nittany Lions beat Olympic super star Michael Phelps in swimming while in high school? Dincher (talk) 21:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and nominated it. Nice work. Dincher (talk) 21:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I really appreciate that! I've been chugging away on a slew of current Penn State players lately. I've been paying close attention to my Google Alerts, and there have been so many great storylines on this year's team: Rubin, Josh Gaines, Gerald Cadogan, Ollie Ogbu. I've been incorporating them into the existing articles whenever possible, and creating new articles for those who don't have them. I've also been keeping an eye out for info on former Nittany Lions Steve Smith and Tom Rafferty, both of whom are struggling with rare diseases. We Are! —xanderer (talk) 22:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Congrats! How have you been? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 18:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Great news on both topics. I will work on a Cherry Springs map and will try to get there at some point to get some pics. Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:26, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Boonies
I also watch Kane, but you always seem to get there first ;-) I should be able to fix the maps - nice mindless TV watching and noodling on the computer stuff. Hope all goes well with the latest addition! Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed all the maps and made new maps for the six boroughs in Potter County too. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 19:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Apollo, PA
I never heard of Scott Gillespie the Blue Grass Artist before, but I am well aware of the 9th Grade Biology teacher Scott Gillespie at Apollo-Ridge High School; just wondering if there is an actual artist of that name, or one of the many times that section has been vandalized. Let me know what you think an I will let you take care of the changes... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.29.136 (talk) 22:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
For your vote at Roman Catholic Church. I am sorry to inform you that we failed FAC but will again be at peer review in a few weeks to sort things out. Hopefully we will make it through next time. We will be contacting all supporters and opposers of the article when we open the next peer review to hopefully get all issues addressed and hashed out before the next FAC try. Thanks again for your time and attention to this important article.  Nancy Heise    talk  01:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Armstrong Twp
I agree that a scanning error in Meginness seems likely. Duboistown (1878) and South Williamsport (1896) were both boroughs by the 1890 census. I can go to a library that has a print copy of Meginness and look up the chapter in question if you want - might take me a few days. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:29, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Pat has access to census data and may be able to help too. This has to be a mistake. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I just added some to it today - still have a fair amount to do. Fairly busy and not much time to work on Wiki - when I do have time I have been doing PR stuff. I am almost burnt out on PRs. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I just had looked at Meginness online and still had the link to the chapter in question open and pasted it here. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:42, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes ;-) is a wink emoticon. A fair number of people have been helping with PRs, or else I would be a cinder - just crisp / charred around the edges now. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I keep meaning to tell you that I have started on a Cherry Springs map (have you noticed all the parks we have worked on to get to FA have two names - Presque Isle, Balck Mo, Worlds End, Leonard Harrison, Colton Point, now Cherry Springs?). Also the Mike DIncher who ran for State Senate recently ran an advertisement that said something like "Dinchers have been in Lycoming County for 150 years". Thought of you for some reason ;-) Have a good Sunday too, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No, he lost, but did fairly well for a third party / independent candidate - see here. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

USA Today had county maps for every state - I was surprised Obama won Cambria and Elk (!) counties. See here Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 05:04, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I did see and have replied on the Armstrong Twp talk page. Will still try and check a print version of Meginness. I keep forgetting your connection to that user ;-) Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I posted this on the Armstrong Twp talk page, but the error was in the original Meginness. Congrats on Penn State winning. I hope to submit Sonestown to peer review tomorrow. Hope all is well, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:39, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I keep finding things I did not know about the bridge (the Williamsport and North Branch Railroad ran just past the one end of the bridge from 1885 to 1938 - so I will have two red links to write before FAC), so it is going slower than expected. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm on it — I own Muncy Valley Lifeline. A few days OK? Choess (talk) 04:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much - I was going to get it out of a library. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:26, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done and sent to DYK, where I trust I haven't misapplied the new template. Choess (talk) 21:44, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! I made a copyedit to it - please revert if I was in error. Now I just have to write the article for the stone bridge over Plunketts Creek. I have not yet tried the new DYK template, just followed the discussion. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

RE:Bob Pellegrini
I removed it because it was his nfl.com stat page, which is already located in the infobox. Secondly, I removed it to make his birth and death dates how they are suppose to be (without places), which i thought was one of the reasons for the reference. If you believe that I am wrong, please dont revert, but just readd that particular part of the article while keeping the rest of my edits the same. You could also just add external links if you think there is a need for it. Jwalte04 (talk) 23:42, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You just did way more edits than you said you would. Please change the birth date and death date thing after the name to its correct fashion ( birth date, birth year – Death date, death year ) without locations.  Plus, the death location is even outside the ), it just plain doesnt look good.  If you feel an incredible urge to show where he was born (which i think is unneeded) then maybe put it in the infobox. Jwalte04 (talk) 00:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Josh Hull
I started Josh Hull. If you have anymore info, please add it. We could get a tag team DYK. It was a pretty good season, wasn't it? Dincher (talk) 02:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice work! I added a couple wikilinks, a category, and two hyphens. I hadn't seen Hull without his helmet before; Did you see that kid's melon? Yikes! —xanderer (talk) 01:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Peer review
Thanks very much for the Peer review. Would you mind looking at the bridge's photos on Commons when you get a chance and seeing if any of them are better than the ones in the article now? Happy Thanksgiving! Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:37, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I could use it in place of Image:Covered Bridge over Muncy Creek.JPG, and then perhaps switch to a different picture of the east portal than this one. The only other photo of the east portal I have is this, which would have to be rotated a bit. If they decorate and light it for Christmas, I would love to get some pictures of that. The problem is the muddy water pic is the only proof I have of the work done on the creek in August 2006 - there were pieces of big construction equipment upstream of the bridge, but I did not photgraph them. I was upset then that I could not get a better pic of the bridge. Oh well. Take care, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:04, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The 1996 newspaper article said they decoratedand lit the bridge for Christmas, so I hope they still do 12 years later. I figure if I could get that close to the turkey, any hunter could get it too. Poor, delicious bird. Have a good one, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 17:33, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the PR for the Sonestown covered bridge is finally done - thanks for all of your helpful comments, I plan to take it to FAC on Friday. Have not had snow to get a snowy picture of it. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 05:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I do wonder if the several hundred extra feet in elevation make a difference - more snow and colder. It is at FAC now. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 04:11, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Snow dance
You can stop the snow dance ;-) - I got several pictures of Sonestown Covered Bridge with snow and uploaded them on Commons. Also got a date for the new bridge, but will add that tomorrow. Imagine you are very glad the Steelers won, have a good night, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 05:02, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I added the snow picture you liked to the SOnestown article. Thanks, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:37, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Potter County maps
I saw your question on Commons and replied there, but I am also a little confused. I changed all of the maps except for the one that showed East Fork itself. However, when I looked at the county map here, I still saw the old version. When I clicked on the map itself, I saw the new version (without East Fork). It is a bypass your cache issue (our computers store old images and reuse them, bypassing the cache forces the computer to get the image fresh) See WP:BYC Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:15, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

PS Speaking of Potter County, would you mind if I took Plunketts Creek Bridge No. 3 to PR and FAC before working on Cherry Springs State Park? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * When I look at Image:Map of Potter County Pennsylvania With Municipal and Township Labels.png I see the new version. When I look at Potter County, Pennsylvania, I see the old map. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:13, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * User:Dtbohrer has solved it! Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the barnstar! Why such a simple solution worked is beyond me. --​​<font size="4" face="Rage Italic" color="darkgreen">​​D.B. <font color="darkgreen" face="Viner Hand ITC">talk •<font color="darkgreen" face="Viner Hand ITC">contribs 03:26, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Cape Fear River map
I can try to make one for the Cape Fear River, but the Lumber River map was made by User:Kmusser - do you want me just to aks him to make one? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 17:53, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The request is in. I can make the river part of the map fairly easily, but the watershed boundaries are difficult for me. Sounds like "work" is getting to be just work. Take care, 18:19, 13 December 2008 (UTC) PS Sent you and email


 * Oh well, only 11 more shopping days until Christmas - hang in there, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 18:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks - now I have a certain Countdown song going through my head too. Have a good one, Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 05:11, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Wills Mountain State Park
Glad to help and especially glad Choess found more details on it. I seem to recall that the official Ohio state park websites had more information on them, if you are looking for stuff to work on. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:07, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The Ohio state parks official link is here Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I am afraid neither I nor my poison ivy are notable ;-) . Since Plunketts Creek Bridge No. 3 is pretty close to FA, I was thinking of finishing it and taking that to FAC, then working on Cherry Springs State Park as an FA - is that OK with you? I still need to get the correct source for the Cherry Springs history you found too. Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:20, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you use "settlers" or perhaps "pioneers" instead of "whites"? Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Works for me ;-) Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 20:58, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Van Buren State Park
Nice job on the article. How about DYK ... that Van Buren State Park in Ohio has family, large group, and equestrian camping areas, the latter with manure bins and picket lines? That seems like one of the most unique things about the park from the article. I also know that the Van Buren High School football stadium is next to the park and if you are camping there on a Friday night in the fall, you can walk over and get a hot dog. ;-) Ruhrfisch <sub style="color:green;">&gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:54, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
