If you have any particular section you'd care to work on go ahead. We still need something comprehensive on the economy a general historical narrative and a fleshed out lead paragraph. I've told Lever also... Ryecatcher773 (talk) 01:10, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Interest in creating an article?
Hi JR, I know you're a Kent State guy so I was wondering if you'd have any interest in writing Brad Robinson (basketball)? He's 1 of only 11 college men's basketball players to have recorded 30+ rebounds in a game since 1972–73. WP:CBBALL is trying to eliminate red links on the NCAA men's basketball statistical leaders articles, but unfortunately there's not enough man power to get to all of them quickly. Brad Robinson is on my to do list but he's really, really far down on it, so if this sounds like something you'd be interested in tackling let me know. Thanks!

Photo Attribution, Standing Rock
Hi Jon:

I like your photo of the Standing Rock on Wikimedia Commons, and would like to use it on my web site. However, I was curious about a few points:
 * Should I attribute it to you or to your grandfather? If the latter, is his name Barton Derby or Barton Derby Ridinger?
 * Which tribes met at this rock -- do you know? Do you know what types of meetings they had at the rock (initiation rites, dispute resolution between tribes, etc. ...)?

Thanks! Brett epic (talk) 14:53, 19 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi there! Feel free to use the photo (and let me know what site it's going to be on so I can show my grandpa).  Please attribute it to my grandfather, who is Barton Derby (he's my maternal grandfather, hence the different last name).  I know he will be pleased that you are using his photo!  It's one of his favorite spots in Kent.
 * As for the history, there isn't alot available on Standing Rock.  I know there is evidence that there was a tribe of Seneca in this area that used it, and there was a Seneca settlement at what is now Silver Lake, Ohio, at the time Kent was settled in 1805.  But there were other tribes through the centuries that were in this area (Erie tribe here up until 1656, then the Iroquois), so it's hard to say exactly who.  A lot of the histories just use the generic "Indians" (or later "Native Americans") to describe who used it and they were written down long after it was actually used (if it ever was).  I know it was also where the old Mahoning Trail crossed the Cuyahoga River, so it was a highly traveled ("highly" for those days) area.
 * Mahoning Trail (Trail #7)
 * 1885 History of Portage County mentions of Standing Rock and the cemetery that bears the name now
 * History of tribes in Ohio from the village of Silver Lake
 * Best information I had indicates that councils of some kind were done on the rock, with some sources indicating councils of war. That led to the alternate name "Council Rock", which is sometimes used in histories (as is "Standing Stone").  If I find other information, I will be sure to pass it along!  --JonRidinger (talk) 15:30, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Jon! The site is not yet open, but will be located in a week or two at | My Oral Village. To show your grandpa the photo you can go to /gallery/oral culture. It is the 8th of 14 images. Brett epic (talk) 22:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kent State Golden Flashes football, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yager Stadium (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
