Hello. It's good to see articles coming in for Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound area native groups. I am near Port Angeles and it's Clallam County Historical Society Library, and I have local native contacts. Would be glad to help. --Ted Clayton 14:34, 13 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Hey - cool TV channel lists. But just so you know links like FOX are not specific enough and do not go directly to where I assume you want to go: Fox Network. You can still have the link look like FOX but link to Fox Network by typing this: FOX which looks like FOX. Have fun! --mav 10:02, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Yeah, I know about the problem with the simple "ABC" and "FOX" issue. I may work on those later.

Hello. Thanks for your attention to Antifreeze vs Antifreeze protein. Pages shouldn't be 'moved' by cutting and pasting their content, however, as this loses the continuity of their edit history. There's a "Move this page" command available to logged-in users which moves the history as well; if you prefer not to create a user identity, you can mention the page you think needs moving on Pages needing attention and someone will handle it.

Hi. We were wondering why the article Roger the Engineer is about the Little Games album by the Yardbirds. Are they the same? Danny 04:53, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Hello bumm13, welcome to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, show preview, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

images on Images for deletion
Quick note here that may be of some help: instead of uploading Image:WAMap-doton-Maryhill_b.png to replace Image:WAMap-doton-Maryhill.png, then listing the latter on IFD, you can just upload the new version with the same filename as the old; it'll update the image, and you won't have to fix links or go through the IFD process. (I don't know why the new filename; for all I know there might be some good reason for it; I'm making a guess here.) Thanks for the contributions! Grendelkhan 04:12, 2004 May 14 (UTC)

Console screenshots
I plan to do the Atari Lynx-inspired screenshot section (8 pics/2 rows) for every console that I can emulate. I may also do some additional galleries, but I am not sure yet. The screenshots for the early consoles were tiny (usually <2 kb), but the 16-bit games need 10kb-50kb. Doing screenshots also becomes much more time-consuming as newer games are more complex and because I don't know many of the newer games. I am going to finish the SNES section today (re-using many existing screenshots), and maybe Sega Master System as well. Colecovision is already done.

Video game years
Hi Bumm13 - I've noticed you've been adding video game year categories to articles like Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario Bros. 2, and Metroid. What I'm wondering is, what sources are you using for these dates? For example, according to GameFAQs Mario 3 appeared in Japan in 1988 and North America in 1990 - you gave it the "1988" category. Mario 2 appeared in Japan in 1992 and North America in 1987 - you gave it also a "1988" category. And that's not even including European release dates! – Andre ( talk ) 20:22, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * I remember that Nintendo Power as well, but SMB2 could not have come out in October 1988, because that first Nintendo Power was summer 1988 - specifically, I think, July/August (NP used to be bimonthly), and the game was out prior to the first issue of the magazine. Also, it seems weird that SMB2 and 3 would have debuted in the same year. Using the Japanese release dates seems like it would be a good idea, but as you probably know, SMB2 debuted in Japan much later than it did in the U.S. Perhaps merely the earliest release date could be used. At any rate, there's definitely something wrong with the dates as they stand now.  – Andre ( talk )  14:24, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * A bit, yes. I think that SMB2 still needs to be changed, though.  – Andre ( talk )  15:16, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Arcade games are not video games
Hi, Bumm13. This is kind of related to the issue above. I noticed that you've been going around adding arcade games to various computer and video game categories (e.g. ).  On Wikipedia, video games and arcade games are not the same thing. I know this can be confusing since many people refer to arcade games as video games, but on Wikipedia, we've needed to make a distinction. Here, arcade games are dedicated machines designed to play one specific game (such as Spy Hunter). Video games, on the other hand, are games played on dedicated video game consoles, such as the NES or Sony PlayStation. And computer games are games played on a personal computer, such as the Apple II or PC.

Therefore, please refrain from adding arcade games to the various computer and video games categories and changing the dates from the year of release of the computer and video games to the year of release of the arcade games.

I think these two WikiProjects may interest you:
 * WikiProject Arcade Games
 * WikiProject Computer and Video Games

Pan-American_Highway_%28route_part_2%29
Hi, I am a user of the German Wikipedia (Chigliak) and saw that you started to describe the part of the Pan-American Highway known als Bolivarian Highway (or Carretera Marginal de la Selva). I tried to sketch the South-American System (in German Panamericana) and had to guess many sections due to extreme lack of information (I used some publications from the 1980s that are available online at the OAS), but did not find any good information on the Venezuela part. So I would be glad if you could help me with your sources, if possible. Thanks in advance... 80.228.72.38 18:10, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Licensing
I was looking at the U.S. city/state articles and noticed that you've made a number of changes most specifically dealing with the dot maps. I've chosen to multi-license all of the rambot contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike Licence. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (and dot maps if possible, however, I probably need to ask User:The Anome to do the same, since your pictures are derivations.) (or at minimum those contributions on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the   template on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case. -- Ram-Man 18:13, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)


 * Hi. I have no problem with dual-licensing my particular dot-map contributions to Wikipedia. I simply used the same method that was/is being used by Seth Ilys. You might want to talk to him and Catbar as well as they are the other two primary contributors of dot-maps to WP. The only issue I worry about is the sheer number of maps that would need to be edited to change the license tags, but I suppose someone could make a bot to do that (you seem quite good with bots ;) . Bumm13 20:26, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * I have and will contact those others with regards to licensing issues, and will get back to you later if I learn anything that affects you. And I am sure the rambot could perform a mass relicensing if required.  What I am most concerned about at this point is the actual edits made to the city articles, as the edits are licensed apart from the pictures themselves.  As such, if you want to multi-license the edits themselves, you yourself will need to explicitly make note of that on your user page by adding the appropriate template somewhere on the page.  For Example:


 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
 * OR
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. State, U.S. County, or U.S. City article as described below:
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. State, U.S. County, or U.S. City article as described below:


 * Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people don't like to do), you could replace   with   .  Understand though that there are pros and cons to multi-licensing, and I don't want to force you to do it. -- Ram-Man 20:45, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)


 * I have an update for you. I asked the original authors of the source county images to multi-license, and they have agreed to use the "CC-by" license.  If you would also be willing to use that license (or the CC-by-sa), then we can use that license for the city dot maps that you have created.  You seemed agreeable to this kind of arrangement above, but I would at least require explicit permission before I run the bot over those articles as well.  (The bot updated the county images with no problems).  I plan to ask the others who participate in the dot project as well.  Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.    – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)   21:21, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Outagamie County, Wisconsin
Just out of curiousity, how did you determine that New London and Wrightstown should be removed from the list of cities and towns? They are listed on the County web site: older &ne; wiser 21:38, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)


 * OK, I did add them back and marked New London as partial. From my perspective, it's not at all "pointless" to include villages and cities in multiple counties if they actually are a part of multiple counties. If it's not listed on the county article, how else would someone looking at the county article know that the place has a presence in the county? older &ne; wiser 22:22, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Pan-American Highway
The Mexican spur routes are not speculative. One of the New York Times articles lists where they rejoin the main route. The only one I am not sure about is the Eagle Pass one, since that was apparently added later. --SPUI 00:21, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * For the record, the comment "I think, not sure where 45 ends" is not unsureness of the route, but unsureness of whether its number is 45 all the way to Mexico City, since I don't have perfect info on Mexican highway numbers. --SPUI 00:23, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * "As for Mexican spur routes, only information from Mexican sources or the Pan-American Institute of Highways would likely be reliable." Do you have any of that info? If not, we'll have to go with what we have. Which is pretty clear on where the routes rejoin the mainline. --SPUI 00:43, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You just added "However, this route was never officially established in the final version of the bill and is not part of U.S. law." to Pan-American Highway (route). Do you have evidence of this? The bill, if passed, never designated the road as the PAH; it only designated it as a federal-aid road that would CONNECT to the PAH in Mexico. --SPUI 00:27, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Do you realize how many federal-aid roads there are? I have no idea if this particular one passed; it's probably not very relevant anyway, so I've deleted it from the main PAH article. --SPUI 01:26, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

dot map licensing update
I have to thank you for multi-licensing you recent dot-map contributions, although in the image description you should use   and    for the templates, rather than the one you have been using. It is mainly for your user pages. I don't know if you've changed your licensing for all the dot-map images you created before I asked you about this, so if you wanted to, you could add the   tag to your user page (or User:Bumm13/Licensing), and make a note saying that all dot-map images are licensed under the terms of the banner. That would be quite helpful. Thanks! &mdash; Ram-Man (comment) (talk) 16:43, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your work on Babcock University. In the future, though, please don't overwrite the copyright violation notices on articles. If you want to rework copyright violation articles you can do so at a temporary subpage, which is linked to from the copyvio notice. Overwriting the notice means there is a risk of leaving copyright material in the page history, and makes it complicated for administrators to deal with the violation.

Prunus
Hi, Bumm. I find it very considerate of you to ask such a question; the article is rather well-written, although it contains a few mistakes to which native Spanish speakers are also prone, such as using the passive form (e.g., es interpretada) instead of the more idiomatic reflexive (e.g., se interpreta). The only glaring error is the use of distintivo (which in Spanish is almost exclusively used as a noun, meaning badge); an impersonal verb, distinguirse, is often used in Spanish in that context. A thorough nitpicker migh also complain about capitalization, which tends to be more restricted in Spanish; cultivar names, for example, are usually left uncapitalized. But you're well above the es-1 figure you gave yourself.

I'd be delighted to give the articles a grammar and style check if you ever want a helping hand. Best, Taragui 14:17, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Can I ask you why you deleted that article in accordance with CSD? It seemed like a legitimate article subject to me, although it was written in a very POV way i.e. that of a positive review.

Dot map request: Canyon Lake, CA
Hi there! Do you take requests for dot maps? If so, would you do one for Canyon Lake, California? 33°41'3" N, 117°15'20" W. If you can, thanks. There is absolutely no hurry in putting this together. Thanks! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 11:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Image:WIMap-doton-Ashland.png
I was just updating the article for Ashland, Wisconsin, and noticed that the map you created at Image:WIMap-doton-Ashland.png had the dot in the wrong location, not by much but enough to be incorrect. The dot was somewhere on or even east of the Bad River Indian Reservation, which is directly east of Ashland. Ashland borders the county line between Ashland and Bayfield Counties. I've modified the image and uploaded the corrected map in place of the old one and just wanted to let you know why I was doing it. &rArr; BRossow T/C 15:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Texas
I think you were asking about this on IRC earlier - I found an Urban Road freeway. UR 1764 is a freeway into Texas City - see. --SPUI (T - C - RFC - Curpsbot problems ) 14:15, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Image:Signal Hill in LA County map.png
You recently created Image:Signal Hill in LA County map.png and added it to the Signal Hill, California article. I would like to ask your opinion on my idea for redoing the image. Since Signal Hill is a very small town completely surrounded by the city of Long Beach, California, do you think that it would be a good idea to redo the map showing Long Beach in light blue or some other light color? Blank Verse 09:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I wasn't trying to suggest or imply that you redo the image. I was just asking some advice on doing something different from any of the other maps on the Wikipedia. To do what I suggested above is something that I can easily do. To create the original image, however, is something I wouldn't know how to do (I assume that it was created using some GIS software).


 * My personal opinion for maps on the Wikipedia is that for most locations being mapped that are enclaves, it is probably best to also show the surrounding entity as well. In the Southern California area, for example, I know that Villa Park is completely surrounded by the city of Orange, and the combination of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood is completely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles. The City of San Fernando is also an enclave of Los Angeles. (For more examples around the world, see List of enclaves and exclaves.)  Blank Verse  07:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikimania
Hello there! We met ages ago at the last Seattle meetup. I was the girl who came up from California :) I'm reminding folks about Wikimania this summer and if you're coming, to register soon, before prices go up . We have a fabulous program planned and it should be fun times. Hope to see you there! Brassratgirl 19:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

You hailed me on Freenode about 7½ hours ago; did you want to tell me something? --  Denelson83  23:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

County maps and related - SVG
I've noticed a lot of maps that you uploaded were in the PNG format. Considering the nature of maps in general, shouldn't they be redone in SVG format? --Geopgeop 00:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

IRC
Since I assume you ignored my question in IRC, I thought I'd pose it to you here: Why did you ban me? I've been scratching my head thinking about how what I said could possibly warrant a ban, but nothing is coming to mind. Maybe I'm just slow. Anyway, I'm not asking to be unbanned, just to be filled in. Thanks. Nufy8 02:33, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
