Dates on ATL mayors
While editing James Calhoun, I noticed that you had Calhoun's term as 1865-68. I knew this couldn't be possible since as mayor of Atlanta, he surrendered the city in 1864, so I looked it up and found this. I corrected Calhoun's page, but you'll need to go back through some of the mayors around him and correct their terms. Otherwise, great job on the mayors of Atlanta pages.

Funny, just trying to fix all that tonight at the library! I should have corrected info soon Jolomo 00:59, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Richard Peters
Thanks for your help, and the Atlanta article. I'll add the first Richard as an article and to your disambiguation page. Keep up the good work. Lou I 12:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Herman Haupt
Cool article! Do you have any idea if Herman Haupt had a relationship with J. Edgar Thomson or Richard Peters? They were all from Philadelphia and involved with the Pennsylvania Railroad (Thomson was its president after the War). I couldn't find anything. Thanks Jolomo 20:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Henry W. Grady page
Are you interested in working on the Henry W. Grady page? If not, I will do the work, it seems you are busier than I, but possibly a better Wikipedian and more knowledgable on Atlanta history.

BTW, where do you live? I'm just a thirty second walk from the Hurt mansion and the Candler mansion (founder of Coke)!

IN THE NEXT WORLD YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
Hey, nice infobox you added for ITNWYOYO. That was going to be my wikiproject for the day but you beat me to it. So I ended up fixing the hack job someone did on TV OR NOT TV by Proctor and Bergman instead. I've been working on a few of these Firesign articles a week and now that the ones that are already there are about done, it's about time to start in on the ones that have no articles at all. That'll take more time but it's nice to know someone appreciates the stuff I'm doing and is willing to help out.

See you around man,

Alexander St. Clair-Abrams
I see that you began the article Alexander St. Clair-Abrams. I'm trying to confirm that he is the same person as the author of the book The Trials of the Soldier's Wife, which has recently been transcribed for Project Gutenberg. Do you think this is the same person? Andrew Sly 17:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

MARTA stations
I like your work on adding station pages for marta stations. I would love to work with you to get these pages flushed out. Earlopogous 03:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

How do you like the Peachtree Center (MARTA station) infobox? I changed it to look more like the MTA articles. Earlopogous 02:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Maynard Jackson
I think with the way the infobox is set up, that's as good as you can get as far as the succession boxes go. However, feel free to edit it to make it clearer. Also, I'd edit out the party affiliation as well, but isn't it true he was a Democrat? Mike H. That's hot 16:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Atlanta Neighborhood Image
I like your image Atlanta-hoods-shields.PNG but I'm wondering why you show a few neighborhoods in southwest Atlanta past the perimeter but nothing on the northeast side (like Brookhaven). Akubhai 20:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! When I did it there was *nothing* to give people a spacial idea of where the various hoods were. I stuck to things inside the city limits (Brookhaven is just to the east of the line) and only displayed neighborhoods that were listed in the template at that time -- I'm sure it has changed since back then.

Senior Senator
Hey. I do not know you, but i see you are a member of North Dakota Wikiproject. Please, could you answer my question. I would like to point out that in 1992, Kent Conrad retired, and Byron Dorgan won. Dorgan is still in the Senate. And then Conrad ran and won a few years later. Wouldn't this make Dorgan senior senator from North Dakota??

Thanks,

Wikimania 2008/Conference of the Americas
Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.

As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see.

For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.

Ross Overbeek
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ross Overbeek, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add to the top of Ross Overbeek.

Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Tom Shipley, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Requesting another of your photographs
Your photo of the old container of moth killer is very good. I can read the wording on the container label, but only the front of the label is visible. Do you still have access to the container? It would be interesting as a matter of historical issues to read the rest of the wording, e.g. the usage instructions. I wonder could you take another photo showing the rear of the label?

Help please
Hi Jolomo, I was hoping I could ask you a big favor regarding one of the images you uploaded a while ago. It was a photo of an old container of moth killer. I was wondering do you still have access to the container, and if so, please could you take another photo showing the rear side of the container and the label? I have an academic interest in historical product labeling standards. If it is too much trouble or you don't have access to the container anymore, please let me know.

Image permission problem with Image:TenHandsBigOne.png
Thanks for uploading Image:TenHandsBigOne.png I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 20:11, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:MirandaRichards.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading File:MirandaRichards.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 18:19, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Cousins
A tag has been placed on Tom Cousins requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of List of aquifers


The article List of aquifers has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * It is poorly maintained. It has only had about 30 edits since 2005. Categories do what this list does.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 10:12, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:21, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Nedom-Angier-grave.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Nedom-Angier-grave.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Ryan (fire chief)


A tag has been placed on Matthew Ryan (fire chief) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Ryan (fire chief)


A tag has been placed on Matthew Ryan (fire chief) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.thefireman.us/articles_1428.asp. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Non-Dropframe   talk   07:25, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Select Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_8306QoUBitQFJ6B&Q_CHL=gl

Image copyright problem with File:DonaldTheDemon.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:DonaldTheDemon.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kelly hi! 00:40, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Alexander St. Clair-Abrams moved to draftspace
The article, Alexander St. Clair-Abrams, does not appear to be describing a single individual. The contradictions imply a failure of verifiability. Until this can be cleared up, it should not remain in the encyclopedia, since (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia ). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When  the article is coherent, or, more likely the necessary two replacemet articles are written,  please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
