Wikinic
Hi, Hourick!

User:Pharos proposed that the Houstonian Wikipedians should meet at a "Wikinic" (an event held in late June). Now, I will not be personally able to attend, but I am checking to see if there are any area Wikipedians who are interested in going to one WhisperToMe (talk) 17:55, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Howdy from Brooklyn! The absolute best way to help get the Houston Wiknic off the ground is to pick a public park and a meeting place there, and a a date and start time (the "standard" date is June 23 but any date around then is good), and please get that info on Meetup/Houston asap.--Pharos (talk) 16:37, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If I find another Houstonian Wikipedian who is able to attend (I will be unable to attend), if it's okay one could set the date to the standard day (June 23, 2012), at Discovery Green WhisperToMe (talk) 04:18, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Takes Houston photo event in September

Yit Ing Ho
Rick, remember Yit Ing Ho, adjacent to Downtown Houston, before it was turned into a club? Have you ever taken a photo of it? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:34, 1 September 2012 (UTC) Thank you very much! I also asked the reference desk a question about Yit Ing Ho's Chinese name so it can be added to the image description WhisperToMe (talk) 17:47, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Here it is on Google Maps - If it is still there, a photo would be greatly appreciated. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:49, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I realized that I was confusing another building for Yit Ing Ho - The club is at File:Club2020Bell.JPG 2020 Bell but Yit Ing Ho is/was at 907 Chartres. Please try to take a photo of the building as it is now, if it's still standing. I'll see if I can think of any other old Chinatown buildings that I would like to have photographed WhisperToMe (talk) 16:10, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The Chinese name of Yit Ing Ho is 一定好酒家 (same in Simplified and Traditional), Mandarin reading Yī​dìng Hào Jiǔ​jiā. For the English description I say "English name (Hanzi Pinyin)" - For the Chinese description it is "Hanzi (English name)" so for Yit Ing Ho it would be:
 * Yit Ing Ho Restaurant (一定好酒家 Yī​dìng Hào Jiǔ​jiā) - 907 Chartres St, Houston, TX 77003

BTW if you are interested in taking more photos, I listed some possibilities at WikiProject Houston/imagerequests WhisperToMe (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Hourick :) WhisperToMe (talk) 16:40, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Images
Thank you for the updates! I wasn't aware that the Pig Stand had been converted into bars, but it may be good anyway to take a photo of what is there now WhisperToMe (talk) 18:02, 17 September 2012 (UTC) Would you be interested in photographing the Indian consulate? It's now at 4300 Scotland Street, Houston, Texas 77007 WhisperToMe (talk) 15:15, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * We now have an article at Project Row Houses WhisperToMe (talk) 18:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I like the shot of the Guandi Temple. Thanks for taking it! A daytime shot would be nice also, but it is good to see a night shot of the temple WhisperToMe (talk) 18:57, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok. Please keep me posted when more pics come in :) WhisperToMe (talk) 19:19, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) - It's interesting how many Houston consulates are moving into standalone facilities WhisperToMe (talk) 15:20, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Outside Notability Guideline?
As part of Project Wikify I have been assigned the article you initiated 'Club Quarters' to review and seek to improve it. The article appears to be outside Wikipedia guidelines because it reads as an advertisement for Club Quarters. It seems to be to be a candidate for deletion, and so I am contacting you to see whether there is potential to broaden the article so that it is about the ideas behind this concept, some of the history of the organisation and so on.

File:HoustonPolicedepartmentBEAR.JPG missing description details
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as: is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.
 * File:HoustonPolicedepartmentBEAR.JPG

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 09:30, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Articles on Southwest Inn fire
I'm not sure where these would go, but I found: You can incorporate them into the HFD history WhisperToMe (talk) 06:15, 6 June 2013 (UTC) Okay, I beefed up the article a bit. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Perez, Amanda. "Investigation into deadly Southwest Inn fire continues." (Archive) KPRC-TV. June 5, 2013.
 * Arnold, Robert. "Local 2 Investigates: Southwest Inn's troubled past." (Archive) KPRC-TV. June 3, 2013.
 * IMO we don't have enough for an article now, but if in the future there is extended analysis or commentary there could be one. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:57, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * "Southwest Inn fire" should be a good title :) WhisperToMe (talk) 15:05, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Rice Epicurean on San Felipe
Hi, Hourick! Did you ever photograph the Rice Epicurean on San Felipe before it closed? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 05:51, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you know anyone who might have a photo? WhisperToMe (talk) 02:01, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. Thank you anyway :) WhisperToMe (talk) 21:18, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Photo request of Sugar Land Fiesta before it closes
Hourick, the Fiesta in Sugar Land is closing on April 20. It is at 13833 Southwest Freeway, at Sugar Creek Boulevard - Are you interested in getting a photo of it? WhisperToMe (talk) 07:31, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Day shot is preferred, but if you want you can get both. Thank you so much!

FYI, I have also posted other photo requests at Commons:Commons:Picture_requests/Requests/United_States if you are interested WhisperToMe (talk) 14:08, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Hourick! I'd like to let you know about, and invite you to join the proposed Texas Wikimedians user group. Also, on more of a national scale, perhaps you would like to participate at WikiConference USA.--Pharos (talk) 04:59, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Chronicle articles about Timmy Chan's?
Hourick,

Do you have access to the electronic archives of the Chronicle? They should begin in 1985. Do you know if there are any articles that talk about Timmy Chan's at length?

Also did you have luck with the Sugar Land Fiesta photo?

Help needed
Hello Hourick! I'd like to test your memory! :)) The File:1922AmericanLaFrancepumper.jpg of yours on Commons is under risk of deletion right now. Do you remember where you got this photo from? Source and author are missing. The author is not the big deal for a 1922 pic, the source unfortunately is. Would you let me know on my Commons talk page here or just add the source? Just want to make sure the photo stays safe and sound on Commons. Thanks for your time!! -- Hedwig in Washington (TALK) 04:51, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
