Erie Depot
I was about to tell you I'd written one a long time ago, when you found it.

If you'd like a source to use, New York's Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has almost all the state's NRHP applications online, including the Erie Depot one.

You have to have JavaScript enabled, and either print it out or view it through a narrow window that lets you see only a few lines at a time. But they're excellent sources and quite informative. Daniel Case (talk) 15:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

If you'd like me to do the commons transfers for those images, let me know. Of course they'll still show up here. Daniel Case (talk) 15:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Port Jefferson station
OK, I did it the old-fashioned way (which always works for me): Download the picture to your hard drive, generate a script for the Commons file information at CommonsHelper, then upload to Commons using the "transfer from another Wikimedia project" wizard, paste the file info in, and upload (then, of course, since I'm an admin I just deleted the picture here, but obviously you can't do that). Were you using the bot script that does the transfer directly ... or claims to? You get better results doing it by hand, at least right now.

I also had to create your category ... it didn't exist. Daniel Case (talk) 15:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

CommonsHelper is useful in creating the file info for the Commons page. But not for making the transfer ... it renames the image and does all sorts of other crap. You need to separately upload the pic to commons at this page, pasting the text generated at CommonsHelper in the summary field. Then, of course, click browse to bring up the file locally and select it. Should be OK. Daniel Case (talk) 19:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

You are invited!
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates. This has been an automated delivery because you were on the invite list. BrownBot (talk) 02:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Shields
I saw that a while ago, you said you might need these shields, so I made them for you.

Re: Lake Forest (Metra) image correct?
I don't actually know. I suspect it may be the Milwaukee line as I've ridden the UP line a couple times and don't remember seeing the station in the photo. Perhaps an email to someone at the city (Lake Forest city website) would help? Slambo (Speak) 11:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Non-notable(WBAB Homegrown Album)
There's no way on earth this would ever survive as an album. It is pretty much a textbook example of not notable in any way. You would be better off putting your effort into work on articles that matter more. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * "Non-notable?" Did you read the Zebra article attached to it? The band attributes this album as a key to their success. DanTD (talk) 16:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That makes the album a footnote in the history of a minor band; it does not make the album notable. This whole thing might make a chapter in the station's history, if that. Many local stations put together albums; they're only slightly more notable than high school yearbooks. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't exactly call Twisted Sister a minor band, and from what I've read on the notablility guidelines for music, I doubt this can be called non-notable. I've got another article that I'm holding back, because I can't find any wiki-links for it. DanTD (talk) 17:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ron and Amelia.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ron and Amelia.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Ponquogue, Caumsett, and Sound Shore
I did you a favor and got Caumsett and Sound Shore to Start. Ponquogue needs work for start. I also ask that you get the latter two to B-class for more history + more sources. Those would make beautiful examples of parkway articles. Especially proposed ones. Thanks. Mitch 32contribs 17:17, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
