User talk:JonathanFreed

Hi. Welcome to my talk page.

Ohio county government
Thanks for deleting all the county gov't text [from the 88 Ohio county articles] and replacing it with a link to Ohio county government. I was seeing that same pointless boring boilerplate in every article that I added county courthouse photos to and I just thought it was awful. --Tysto 07:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto! Moving that to its own separate article was one of those brilliant moves that made me exclaim, "Duh!  Why didn't I think of that!"  Kudos, JonathanFreed! -- SwissCelt 14:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it was pointless to have this material convenient for users. PedanticallySpeaking 18:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right. And altho it's boring to me, it's not boring to everyone. But one click away is still convenient. The best place for it is in its own article. --Tysto 20:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

President
Thanks for editing my post on the vandalism. I'm new to editing on wikipedia. --Jordan.Kreiger 15:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

O'Connor / Alito
(Note: I have moved the comments that were in this section to the Sandra Day O'Connor article's talk page, because they are specifically related to that article. That talk page already had some comments and now all of the comments will appear together. JonathanFreed 22:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC))

Simmons (electronic drum company)
(Note: I have moved the comments that were in this section to the Simmons (electronic drum company) article's talk page, as they were specific to that article. JonathanFreed 05:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC))

Thomas Paine
Would you please see my remark at Talk:Thomas Paine? Since this was your edit, I'd appreciate if you'd consider my disagreement with it. - Jmabel | Talk 05:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Response made at TP talk page section. JonathanFreed 06:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cleft
I thought you would be interested in the latest post (at the bottom of that page) about renaming.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 22:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't Get It
(Note: I have moved the comments that were in this section to the Mahoning County, Ohio article's talk page, as they were specific to that article. JonathanFreed 04:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC))

Ohio and the Midwest
I responded to your query (in Talk: Ohio) with some of the original language I wrote on this issue, just wanted to give you a heads up and see what you think —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jimbobjoe (talk • contribs) 09:18, 25 December 2006 (UTC).

Judicial System
Regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1871 page and State Court jurisdiction, could you indicate the source which suggested State courts could NOT hear claims under section 1983? I suspect there is some misinformation out there that we may be able to chase down and correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.16.104.80 (talk) 20:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

Intellectual Property Links
Saw your most recent edit to the Intellectual property blanking the links. Of course, Wikipedia is not a collection of links and the IP article's external links section was out of control. But blanking the page without even mentioning it on the talk page seems a bit of an overreaction. I can't believe that you couldn't find a single link in that list worth keeping -- or another to put it in there.

It's a whole lot easier to remove information than it is to write it up and put it in. Be wary of that and try to be careful. At the very least you could have copied the information to the talk page. I'll go through the list now and copy it to the talk page. Please try to work with the community a little more on this next time. Thanks! —mako (talk•contribs) 00:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

(Note: I have responded to mako on the Talk:Intellectual property page, as his comments here were specific to that article and he also left comments on that page. JonathanFreed 03:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC))

Edit summary on German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis
Regarding - yes, it does appear to have been copied from a book co-written shortly after the war by the XO of the ship. Details of the book are on Talk:German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis. Orpheus (talk) 16:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

From Dictatorship to Democracy
Hello, I've been working on the page From Dictatorship to Democracy, which you started. Nice beginning. Do you have a source for the following point of view about the book? I removed it because it seemed a bit too much like editorializing and WP:OR. However, if it can be cited to a source outside Wikipedia, it might be worthwhile to re-insert it (though probably not in the lede): ''While the essay has been cited as a manual on how to overthrow dictatorships, it focuses on past events and is more descriptive than prescriptive. Sharp has written an accompanying and more-prescriptive guide for people who wish to overthrow a dictatorship: Self-Liberation, A Guide to Strategic Planning for Action to End a Dictatorship or Other Oppression (First Edition, November 2009).'' Thanks for your work on this article! -- Presearch (talk) 07:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

McCabe (surname)
Hi JF. You went to a lot of trouble to tableize this surname page and I wonder why. It's hard enough maintaining simple dot-point hndis lists without the extra formatting. And it doesn't make it any easier to find names. Doug butler (talk) 21:00, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Lorenzo Dow McCabe moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Lorenzo Dow McCabe, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (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 you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
