Welcome to WikiProject Ohio!
 Hi, and welcome to the WikiProject Ohio! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ohio.

A few features of the project that you might find helpful:


 * The open task box is updated frequently. You can [ watchlist it] if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including Ohiotasks on your user page.
 * All important discussions take place on our project's main discussion page; you can also [ watch] this page to keep up with discussions.
 * The project has some departments, which handle article quality assessment, newsletter writing, and new page patrolling.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or any other member of the project, we'll be happy to help you. Sorry this is late. Great idea about the townships! §hep  •   ¡Talk to me!  21:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Having your own page deleted
If you create a page, and before anyone else edits it you decide to have it deleted, like what seems to have happened with Category:Townships in Auglaze County, Ohio, please put a db-self at the top of the page, in stead of blanking it. This will attract an administrator to it to have it deleted. Category:Townships in Auglaze County, Ohio has already been deleted, or marked for deletion; next time, however, it could take a while before someone finds it to tag it or delete it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:39, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

West Elkton, Ohio
Thanks for fixing the population density. I haven't a clue why, but some of these community infoboxes have the density of housing units (in case you didn't notice this, check the demographics: you'll see that the numbers you replaced were correct for the density of housing units) rather than population density.

Photo requests
Do you take photo requests? If so and if it is convenient, would you mind photographing the Comair headquarters on the grounds of Cincinnati Airport? Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 03:25, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Alrighty! If the building doesn't have Comair logos on it, but a sign does, please try to include the sign with the building (similar to this image of the Alaska Airlines headquarters: File:Alaska Airlines 4920s0.jpg). The Comair site says it is at 77 Comair Boulevard . Judging from Google Maps there do not appear to be any security checkpoints before the Comair building. Anyway, Thank you very much!

Help with Cincinnati geography?
I need an opinion about Cincinnati geography. Would you be willing to contribute to the discussion at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Cincinnati, Ohio? Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 00:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The bit you noted is the reason that I'm confused. Do you know if Clough Creek is entirely in Anderson Township and not in any municipalities?  If so, the district could be moved to the Hamilton-County-without-Cincinnati list, National Register of Historic Places listings in Hamilton County, Ohio.  Nyttend (talk) 14:05, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. I can tell you what they're going to tell you — "that's a restricted-address location, so you'll have to contact the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office if you want to know any location-related data".  Moreover, I don't think that they would know — information available to the National Register people is primarily from nomination forms (see here for a typical nomination form; although this is for a house in Pennsylvania, the documents are similar), which don't generally spell out whether they're in townships or municipalities.  It's listed under Cincinnati because it's in the Cincinnati vicinity; that's the way that most rural-or-almost-rural sites are listed in the National Register database.

Request to photograph Comair headquarters
Hello! I have contacted you because you are in the category "Wikipedians from Cincinnati" and indicate you are a student at Cincinnati State University. I would like for someone to photograph the corporate office buildings, including the Comair General Office Building, the Comair corporate headquarters at 77 Comair Boulevard, and the building at 82 Comair Boulevard, both in Erlanger, KY, at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Regional Airport. Since Comair is shutting down on September 29, 2012, I would like for someone to take this photo as soon as possible. I do not want for the Comair markings to be taken off of the buildings. If you want to, please photograph the Comair buildings. Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 04:38, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dream Records


A tag has been placed on Dream Records 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 an organization or company, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. WikiPuppies bark dig 00:18, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Creating good junction lists for highway articles
Just as I did with U.S. Route 27 in Kentucky after you created the article, I purged a lot of cruft out of U.S. Route 127 in Kentucky. You should take a look at what I deleted from each for some idea on how to make better tables. Also, you should take a look at how I edited the leads to fit our guidelines on formatting a lead, which is even more generic to Wikipedia. Lastly, we limit infoboxes to just 8–10 junctions, tops. That means that sometimes we omit major highways from appearing in the infobox, but since it is supposed to be a summary of the full junction list table, readers still get all of the information anyway.

Hopefully this helps.  Imzadi 1979  →   03:17, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) We don't list business names as locations in jct. The state DOTs don't list them on the main highway guide signs so neither do we. The same goes for schools and the like.
 * 2) If you have the hospital or airport icon appear, the name of the hospital or airport should appear in the notes column. If the DOT puts the name of the airport on the main guide signs, then you can put it in jct in the destinations column. In either case, the name of the airport should appear in full, even if the DOT abbreviates it to just "Airport". Don't make our readers hover their cursors over the link to get the full name.
 * 3) We don't list schools and things as entries with their own rows of the table. High schools are barely notable, elementary school are not notable at all. Stick to intersections with other roadways and major bridges only.
 * 4) Usually, if the bridge doesn't have a name, or the body of water isn't really major, leave the bridge out completely, except at a state line.
 * 5) We use a single line in the table for a single interchange. When an at-grade highway intersects a freeway in a diamond or cloverleaf interchange, that is one intersection, not separate intersections for each set of ramps. You can use mile and mile2 to create a range of mileposts for a single intersection and list everything together.

State-detail articles
Just an FYI, but state-detail articles for U.S. Highways have been reverted back to redirects in the past when they don't have more than an infobox and a junction list table.  Imzadi 1979  →   05:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk pages of Kentucky route articles
I appreciate all of the work you have done to add milepoint tables to Kentucky route articles! After you complete the table in each article, can you go into the article talk and update the WikiProject U.S. Roads banner? In particular, if the article has both a Route description and a Major intersections section, change the class from "stub" to "start" and change the needs-jctint parameter from "missing" to "no." We use the data in the banners to categorize which articles need milepoint tables, so it would be great if you could go back and update the banners in the articles you have worked on previously, too.

Clough Creek
I don't know if it interests you or not. Almost 10 years ago you wrote to Nyttend here: User_talk:Nyttend/Archive_14 about Clough Creek. You had said it was named after Richard Clough Anderson, which links to Richard Clough Anderson Jr. However, the creek is actually named after his father Richard Clough Anderson Sr.  I just posted an XfD about the redirect Richard Clough Anderson so there will be no further confusion. You are not the only one who got the father and son confused. I think I found about 5-10 mistakes like that in Wikipedia that I just corrected. Some very famous people in American history. I haven't been able to locate any WP:RS to prove that Clough Pike is named after the father. If you know of anything, I would love to add that to the article. --David Tornheim (talk) 18:44, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Jan & Dean discography
I noticed that you made a change on October 12, 2020 to the Jan & Dean discography regarding the song Julie, referencing a 1961 article in Billboard. All of the information that I have shows Julie to be the "B" side. While it is not directly printed on the single as "A" side or "B" side, the number for Don't Look Away is 45-LIB-69, while the number for Julie is 45-LIB-70. I don't dispute what you might have read, but I don't have access to that issue. Can you provide a citation for this information. Here is a link to the pictures of the single on Discogs. In the discography on the Wikilink to the song Julie, it also shows a different record label with the same information.Frankzappatwin (talk) 19:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the citation regarding the Jan & Dean song. However it only states that one is the flip side of the other, not "A" side or "B" side. I am not intending to be argumentative here and I am not intending to revert your edit or otherwise correct it, I was just curious regarding your reason for making the edit to begin with.
