Please Don't Bite The Newcomer
I'm learning so, please feel free to teach. Just be nice please. I'm working in California, fixing broken links, picking up the pieces. I figure if it's already broken, I can't hurt it too bad. My interests are photography, and I travel all around California. So hit me with a list, and I'll see what I can do with taking pictures on your interest. I prospect for Gold, so there again, I have some experience and interest in that area. Other than that, let me know where I can fit into the mix. I don't understand the whole debate about Central, Northern, and Southern, So I'll just stay California, Central California TY, until I know what Category to slide into. People outside California, please excuse the way Californians are, We are very proud of our individual areas.

I would really like to learn how to put a picture on this page, How to tab, into HTML, ETC... I'm not to sure on Editing in HTML. So, be patient with me. How do I embed a picture onto this page? These among other questions... What ever... I need the California slang user too.

And with that note, let the mistakes begin

Historic Walking Tour
Please do not create wholly promotional articles like this one. Thanks, Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 00:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

And Once again, Chris comes to the rescue. This was on the list for California's to update. They needed help. Another thing I'd like to mention. The walking tour is free. It's part of the Visitors center in Amador County, I plan on putting Pictures of the historic buildings in Amador City. I've noticed that since you've become an administrator, you've been esp. hard on people. I'm wondering if your having issues with delegating Wiki work, and respecting others opinions. I'm not sure, but my walking tour page was ripped off, before you asked me or consulted with the other wikipedians in California. The article had no spam in it. The work was taken out of a Geologic Guidebook, Along Highway 49 Sierran Gold Belt, The Mother lode Country (centennial Edition) 1948 Divisions of Mines, Ferry Building, San Francisco, and had nothing to do with advertising any money making scam. I've been through Amador, several times. I have a claim outside of Amador City. The area is a Ghost town. The walking tour is for the old abandon buildings that are Historic and need to be preserved in Wikipedia. A work in progress doesnt get torn off, because one person is being bias. I think that person would be you Chris. I'm just trying to help put Wikipedia together. I don't understand the Please do not add your name or userboxes to articles. Could you explain that? I though Wikipedia wanted us to put our names on the articles? How do I get ahold of a person where I can get a second opinion on the deletion?

Little Amador Railroad
This article also appears to be promotional. For local articles like this, please start by creating a section in the town's article first. If it becomes large enough for its own article, move it to its own article. Thanks.--Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 00:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This will be helpful: Places of local interest. I am an administrator here; ask me if you need help. I am currently working on articles about the rural county where I grew up, so I have experience with local articles. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 00:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

What ever Dude, Have you ever been to Amador, CA? I think you should visit a place, like I have before you say that it's spam. I'm just a Californian. Like I said, I'm new, and this isn't very easy. I'm sure you don't want your hard work deleted just because someone else thinks it's spam. The town is very small. There are three points of interest. The train, the graveyard, and the walking tour. They are historic. Work with me dude Ruby Rose65 01:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)Ruby Rose65

Amador City, CA
Not sure why you took out the walking tour of Amador City, CA And once again, Chris comes to the rescue. Amador City, CA is on the list for California's to update. They needed help. Another thing I'd like to mention. I planned on putting Pictures of the historic buildings in Amador City. I've noticed that since you've become an administrator, you've been esp. hard on people. I'm wondering if your having issues with delegating Wiki work, and respecting others opinions. I'm not sure, but my Walking Tour page was ripped off, before you asked me or consulted with the other Wikipedians in California. The article had no spam in it. My article was derived out of a Geologic Guidebook, Along Highway 49 Sierran Gold Belt, The Mother lode Country (Centennial Edition) 1948 Divisions of Mines, Ferry Building, San Francisco, and had nothing to do with advertising any money making scam. The Walking Tour Map is located at the chamber of commerce in Jackson. You need to pick that up before you get to Amador City, CA. I don't know why it was deleted? You didn't give any idea's on how to fix it or what rule I violated. You are from another state for crying out loud. This is my first attempt at editing. I have experience with the Gold Belt, and I've been through Amador, several times. I have a claim outside of Amador City. The area is a Ghost town, very small. If you blink, you might miss it. The walking tour is for the old abandon buildings that are Historic and need to be preserved in Wikipedia. A work in progress doesn't get torn off, because of one person is being bias/ or an opinion that the page doesn't fit. I'm just trying to help the founders with Wikipedia. Also, you mentioned, another thing I don't understand; Please do not add your name or userboxes to articles. You could have explain that in greater detail, I'm still unsure where or how to sign an article. I though Wikipedia wanted us to put our names on the articles? How do I get ahold of a person where I can get a second opinion on the deletion? Or maybe just another administrator who can explain how to sign an article, and when to actually help out with a project page, another California/wikipedian has created. I'm concerned that left unchecked this could happen to other people you assist. Your young Chris and you swooped in and deleted an all day project for me. So, needless to say, I'm kinda at odds with "is this even worth it to me" I need guidance, yes, but half-statements, unfounded deletions, and short remarks, leave me still in the dark with Wiki-editing. I'm bringing this to the forefront, because I'm new and there are other new members who are learning how to help Wikipedia.org. Helpful suggestions work better than mass deletions of projects in the works. I found this on the Administrators pages, and I think you should read this. What Administration is not I will be looking forward to a deeper explanation and what exactly was wrong with the Walking Tour page. Ruby Rose65 02:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)Ruby Rose65


 * First, I want to say that I do not appreciate your calling into question my abilities as an administrator. You have been editing for one day. When you get some more experience, fine, you can tell me that I am acting improperly, but I took more time with this situation than a lot of editors would because I saw you were new and I wanted to help you. I deleted the articles because they were poorly written promotional articles for obscure local places of interest. That's three strikes against them. But you know what? I inserted the information from those articles into the main article about the town so your work was not lost. As for the walking tour information, it was written too much like a brochure and I wasn't really able to re-insert it. Additionally, I explained these changes to you on your talk page, pointed you in the direction of information that would help you to edit the type of articles you are interested in, and offered help whenever you need it. For you to then accuse me of being mean after all that really just kind of saddens me.
 * To sign your posts, add ~ after your comment or click the link below after "Sign your name." Only add your signature to talk page comments, not the article itself. Your name will be in the page's history.
 * The userbox I was talking about was the one that said you are from California. You added this to more than one article. Userboxes do not go anyplace but your user pages.
 * My offer to help stands; however, do not speak down to me again. I don't need to be from California to edit that article. I am a Wikipedia administrator: I can edit any article well. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 06:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm Glad you read the what an admin is not. I also did some research on your style. Leadership 101. You should make it the other persons idea when you need to make a point. I'm glad you got alittle upset Chris. You came into the conversation KNOWING I'd been editing for one day. I'm glad you write it off, as if you couldn't have explained in more detail the idea that 2 sentences don't need a whole page. I'm curious about your ability to be a bull in a china shop, noting, that just because your the Admin, you have an omni present ability to delete, and not teach. The way you came off is not justified, explainations, and pointers towards a cleaner looking page doesn't need to be so sharp. You can administer like your favorite editors, it just takes patients, and an ability to remember what it was like your first day on Wikipedia. I'm standing firm of the fact of the matter, you don't need to be rude to make a point. It can be a learning experience for both of us. I have no problem listening to advice, although It took me awhile to figure out, on my own, how to sign, where to sign, but I did it. Again, you didn't explain that to me, in a way a New person would expect to hear something as simple as signing the article, or not to sign, where and when it's appropriate. Also, You can take a different approach when you explain to new people the right way to do something. My point Chris is that you might be taken back by a person who automatically thinks a person ignorate, just because they are learing. On the same point, you could learn a thing or two about how to teach, without hurting another person's feelings, or making them feel inept. Once again, talk to other administrators, how do they deal with new people, without making them feel like their kind of help isn't needed. I might be new, but I know a little. You really should read the article about what an admin is not. Taking this lightly could adversely affect the future of your administration, in the way that your deal with other people. Personally, with the shoe on the other foot, I would have advised you how to fix the article, checked to make sure it was done properly, and advised you how to sign the article, and checked up on the page to make sure it was done correctly. That's all, just advise, helpful advise, and supervision. Instead, you did it for me, thanks That will teach me, How to let someone else fix my mistake. But, Hey that's just my opinion and we all know what that's worth. Have you even asked another Administrator what they think about this situation? Maybe you should get a second opinion, Learning is a process. Teaching is a Responsibility! I have learned you need people skills, and some people are just plain rude. Thanks for all your helpful advice. I will be forwarding this conversation to another administrator to make sure it's not just me. "Do not speak to me again, I'm an administrator, I can do what I want to do" What was that?. I'm sorry you can really get quite upset. I will respond to you by saying it would be my pleasure.Ruby Rose65 17:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)Ruby Rose65
 * OK, I'm done with you. I took extra time with you, and you still accused me of not doing enough. Ask questions if you need answers; don't expect me to give you a primer on Wikipedia when that sort of information is readily available. Either go look for it yourself or ask questions. That is how people learn here. That, and by making mistakes. I will leave you with this: Assume good faith. It's really sad that you felt you had to harangue me and teach me a thing or two on your first day; reading the above might have put you in a better state of mind. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 21:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

California photo requests now by County
I just spent the past few days moving all the California photo requests into County categories to make it easier for photographers to locate requests in the locations where they take photos. Please consider monitoring and adding your name to the list at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Santa Cruz County, California and other Centeral Coast counties.
