External map service links
Hello. You have been identified as having added or removed direct external map service links in articles. There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:External links about which should be done, and some more opinions would be good to find community consensus. --Para (talk) 23:11, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Delaware Canal State Park
Dan, I am still working on adding GNIS refs to the List of Pennsylvania state parks. I am having trouble finding the location of the termini of Delaware Canal State Park. A quick look at the history of the article shows that you found them first off. Could you go ahead and add the GNIS refs? Thanks. Dinch Dincher (talk) 00:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * There doesn't seem to be a GNIS entry for Delaware Canal State Park or even the Canal itself. From what I remember, the coordinates that I put in were from me looking at the termini of the canal in Google Earth.  Looking at other canal entries in GNIS it looks like they display a series of coordinates the follow the path of the canal, but I'm not sure their policy on how often coordinates are listed.  I guess you should take a look at the coordinates I added and see what you think of their accuracy and then we can submit them to GNIS for a new entry for the Canal and the Park.  Sound like a plan?  VerruckteDan (talk) 00:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me. Go for it if you want too. I will let it be for now. It's not the most important issue on wikipedia. Dincher (talk) 01:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding the 2006 population estimates to Lycoming and Sullivan Counties. Just curious, did anyone ever ask GNIS about this? I can contact them if no one else has (if you like). Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 00:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I actually had not contacted GNIS about this issue yet. I was trying to figure out the best thing to do, because ultimately the park should probably have one entry, while the Canal itself would also have an entry.  I makes sense to me that the canal would have multiple sets of coordinates, as is found on the GNIS pages for other canals, but the park would probably list only one coordinate, and I'm not sure what it should be?  The park office as we have listed on the Wiki article?  Any thoughts?  VerruckteDan (talk) 00:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, and in regards to the Census box, would you be interesting in discussing a common style to the language in the citations and the title? When I added the 2006 estimates, I copied the style I used in the Census boxes for Louisiana Parishes.  You had edited the title parameter from the default, I like the default because it doesn't had a lot of extra white space into the box.  Are you attached to having the longer titles?  VerruckteDan (talk) 00:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I looked at Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park here on GNIS as it is also a park based on an historic canal. They give one coordinate per USGS map it is in (which is what they also do for rivers and streams and presumably all linear features). I would be glad to contact USGS GNIS - if you do, I would give them the official DCNR page and the PennDOT maps of the two counties as links.


 * As for the Census boxes, I would be glad to have a standard / common style to follow. I added the population data to Sullivan County for the List of municipalities in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, as it discussed the dramatic decline in population since 1900 there (the article is at FLC now). I just made up a title and I tend to be prolix, verbose and long-winded (and I talk a lot too). ;-) Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 01:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Colors of county navboxes
I see you're fitting the colors of the Oklahoma navboxes to the state template. A bunch of the Pennsylvania templates aren't the same color as the state; could you switch those if you get a chance? Nyttend (talk) 21:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. I'll do it over the next few days.  VerruckteDan (talk) 21:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Undoing valid edits
Hi Dan,

An edit of yours popped up on my watchlist (I decided to finally succumb and watch the ol' hometown), and after looking through some more of your contributions I noticed that you've been using the undo function to revert edits quite a bit. Given that you're clearly an established editor who knows what he's doing, I'm not here to disagree with your reasons for making these changes (although I did change the one linked above), only to suggest that you try and do them in a way that leaves an edit summary so people know your reasons for reverting. You probably already know about this, but Twinkle provides a pretty easy rollback function that allows for the input of a custom edit summary--if you haven't already, I suggest you try it out.

Thanks, and happy editing! -- jonny - m t  04:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the message. My standard practice is to leave the default undo text for cases of clear vandalism, and add a more detailed summary in cases where there may be more of a question.  In the edit you pointed out, I was a little too quick in the revert and should have provided a more complete edit summary.  Basically, I reverted the edit because the neighborhood section is a mess of unreferenced entries.  Some appear to be neighborhoods in the traditional urban sense, while others appear to be subdivisions.  I'm not familiar enough with Baton Rouge's neighborhoods to do a complete revamp of the list, but figured I would at least hold the line against uncited anonymous additions.  Anyway, that was my thought process.  VerruckteDan (talk) 21:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Louisiana, Monroe and Colfax
Hello, I was wondering why you are changing back the maps. I know that there not like the other Louisiana maps but it cuts down on using all of that space for two maps. I belive it makes the articles much nicer, there are also alot of other states that use the same type as the one I used for these to articles. I just wanted to talk to you and not start a reverting war. Thanks alot--CPacker (talk) 03:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I reverted to the previous maps for several reasons. First, all Louisiana city/town/village/etc. articles use the dual map format, so for consistency these two should not be different.  Second, while some states use maps similar to the ones you changed to, it is not a standard and there is a great deal of variation across states and even within states.  Parts of Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania use a dual map scheme with like Louisiana.  Other states use maps similar to the one you changed to except showing a municipalities location within a county and then a subset map showing the county's location within the state.  Third, the color scheme of the Louisiana map is consistent with the color scheme of the US map highlighting Louisiana.  This map, and those highlighting the other 49 states, are widely used across Wikipedia.  Finally, the color map shows some of the areas surrounding Louisiana, providing more perspective to the map than a map floating in whitespace.  VerruckteDan (talk) 21:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright that makes sense,,,,, thanks for answering.--CPacker (talk) 00:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. Happy editing.  VerruckteDan (talk) 17:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Washington counties
Dan, Do you have any time for template-making? There are three counties left for Washington. Would you be able to make and place them? I'm much of the way through South Dakota; if you don't do these three Washington before I finish South Dakota, I'll probably end up finishing that state as well. Nyttend (talk) 06:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Done, and I finally changed the color for all the PA county templates. VerruckteDan (talk) 01:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 16:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Springfield Township
Its not a huge deal. Regardng Glenside, I wanted to ask you whether the CDP was co-terminus with the zip code. I saw the same addition and went to the Springfield website and it asserts that Glenside's zip code bleeds into the township. So I left it. But if you have a different source, that's fine. Montco (talk) 15:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes the Glenside zip code (19038) extends beyond the CDP area into Springfield and Upper Dublin Townships, as well as parts of Abington and Cheltenham Townships that are outside the CDP boundary. Since this article is about the CDP, particularly all the geographic and demographic stats, I think that the municipalities listed should be limited to those that are within the boundary of the CDP.  See this census map.  VerruckteDan (talk) 15:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Converts
Something is up with some of the coverts. See Archbald Pothole State Park. I am not sure what it is but the red Template:Convert/acres comes up. Hopefully this can be fixed. Let me know if there is something I can do. Dincher (talk) 01:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I found the problem. The template shoud read acre instead of acres. Dincher (talk) 01:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry bout that, moving too quick for my own good. VerruckteDan (talk) 01:28, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. I am glad we found it. Dincher (talk) 01:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings in New Orleans
You are very welcome! Sorry for the very late reply - I have been editing pnly sporadically over the past couple of days. I do have a question for you: regarding Crzycheetah's comment at the New Orleans building list's FLC, is there a reason why you, as the list's primary editor, created an article for Loews New Orleans Hotel but not JW Marriott Hotel New Orleans, W New Orleans, or Windsor Court Hotel? I was just wondering, as you know much about New Orleans and its buildings than I do. Do you see the Lowes Hotel as more notable? Cheers, Rai - me  02:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * At the time that I finished creating the articles for most of the buildings on the list, those 3 had not been added. And since then, I just haven't gone back to create articles, not particular reason other than I've allowed myself to be distracted by other areas of Wikipedia.  But ultimately I see no reason not to create articles for those buildings, and I can do that next week as I'll be out of town all weekend.  VerruckteDan (talk) 03:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for clarifying that. I can easily create the articles; I just wanted to make sure that a NOLA expert such as yourself did not create articles for the three structures knowing that they were non-notable. Cheers, Rai - me  15:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Question what do you consider the minimum height justifying an article? I cant myself see how a buildinngis notable thats just 200-some feet high, unless there is something special to say about it. DGG (talk) 00:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't have a specific minimum height cutoff, and I don't think there should be a universal minimum, but should instead vary by city. A 250-300 ft tall buildings in New Orleans is far more notable than a building of similar height in New York City.  In cities with smaller/shorter skylines buildings in the 250-300 ft range stand out in the skyline, can serve as landmarks (particularly if they are older buildings), and will rank much higher in a list of tallest buildings in that city and perhaps even that state.   That seems to be notable, and hence worthy of a Wiki article.  Just my general thoughts.  VerruckteDan (talk) 17:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Rigoletts pass rail bridge
My gosh, if that "short" bridge is 4500ft+ long, how long is the one I selected?? Two, three times that?? - Denimadept (talk) 04:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I found one place online that states it is 30,737 ft long. While I can't confirm that exact length, it seems right to me, as this bridge has a slightly further distance to cross than the nearby I-10 Twin Span Bridge and US 11 Maestri Bridge, which are both around 5 miles long.  VerruckteDan (talk) 12:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * But it must be fairly shallow or it wouldn't be a trestle. They got lucky. - Denimadept (talk) 13:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Lake Pontchartrain is never more than about 12-14 feet deep. VerruckteDan (talk) 20:51, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Lackawanna State Park
Dan, I can't find Lackawanna State Park on the GNIS database. I would be surprised if it isn't there, but maybe it's not. This is an entry for the lake and the dam but I don't want to use them if I don't have to. (This is regarding added the GNIS refs to all PA state parks) Haven't you gotten in touch with them in the past to have state parks added to their website or was it Ruhrfisch? Either way I am going to wait to hear from you. Thanks, Dinch Dincher (talk) 23:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I can't find it either at GNIS. I have contacted GNIS in the past and would be glad to again. Dan, did you contact them about Delaware Canal State Park? Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 23:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * No, I hadn't contacted them about Delaware Canal State Park. I thought you had done that...oops.  Since you've done it before, I guess it'll be easiest for you to handle these.  VerruckteDan (talk) 23:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I was not sure who was going to contact them either - will email them tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 00:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to the both of ya! Dincher (talk) 00:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Repetitive website links
The Worcester County government website link is already in the information box--is there any reason for it to be on the page twice?? The county/city/town pages are already cluttered with redundant latitude/longitude links as it is. . .   Pilch62 (talk) 17:15, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Generally, information found in the infobox should also be included in body of the article. All the other information in the Worcester County infobox (seat, founding, population, etc) are included in the article text as well.  VerruckteDan (talk) 17:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * But the link isn't included in the text: it's included in the link section after the text. All the other facts are expanded upon in the text--the link is just repeated.  As I said, it seems that the location articles are getting cluttered with repetitions of information, such as the coordinates.  I'll look for an appropriate place to raise the issue for general discussion and let you know.  Thanks!  Pilch62 (talk) 23:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * PS: I found this:
 * "External links should not normally be used in the body of an article. Instead, include them in an 'External links' section at the end or in the appropriate location within an infobox or navbox."
 * My emphasis. I'm still looking for a discussion of this point in the archives on that page, but if I can't find one, that's where I'll raise the issue. Pilch62 (talk) 00:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Raised the question here. Pilch62 (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It may have something to do with the labeled pushpin or the calibration of Template:Location map USA New York is wrong. I haven't worked with this specific series of location maps, so I don't want to go and mess around with them.  I'd recommend talking to User:Appraiser, as he appears to have done extensive work of late on this series of maps.  Hope that helps.  VerruckteDan (talk) 13:10, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

More county templates?
Two weeks ago, I raised a question at the New Hampshire wikiproject, asking them if they'd be interested in county templates. As you can see here, the commentary seems to agree with the idea. I've been busy in other states, and I don't expect to have time for New Hampshire anytime soon. Would you be willing/able to create New Hampshire templates? Nyttend (talk) 18:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

New Orleans articles
I hereby present you with the N.J.Clesi "I Love You, My New Orleans" award for you excellent work on New Orleans related articles. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the designated neighborhood articles. A minor point of naming-- I'm not sure disambiguating City Park the park from City Park the neighborhood by different punctuation marks is the best way to go. I suspect most people hearing something like "City Park, New Orleans" will think of the park first. So might I suggest having the neighborhood at something like "City Park neighborhood, New Orleans" or "City Park (New Orleans neighborhood)" or some variation? Perhaps that might work to disambiguate the "Seventh Ward neighborhood" from the Ward as well. Other thoughts? Red beans & ricely, -- Infrogmation (talk) 10:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tip of the hat.


 * Some confusion may be possible, but I think the current disambiguation is in line with the established consensuses. Neighborhoods in cities across the US are disambiguated as Neighborhood, City, so I think City Park, New Orleans and Seventh Ward, New Orleans are appropriate for the neighborhoods.  While there is more variation in how park articles are disambiguated, the parenthetical method is used for state parks, so for consistency, I think it should be applied to all parks.


 * All of these articles have hatnotes to lead readers to the other article if they mistakenly navigated to an incorrect one. So while its not 100% certain that no user will mis-navigate, I think the current names are in line with disambiguation practices and should be left as they are.

Help!
Can you help with Burlington, Ohio, a CDP in the far southern part of the state? Someone just moved the article to Burlington (CDP), Ohio and created an entirely new article: Burlington, Fayette Township, Lawrence County, Ohio. I've tried explaining that it's the same community, but s/he either (1) doesn't understand what a CDP is, or (2) doesn't apparently care. I'm not desirous of risking 3RR problems. Nyttend (talk) 15:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I ran across "Burlington, Ohio" because other Wiki articles incorrectly link to it (the CDP article) as the Southern-most point in Ohio. The Southern-most point in Ohio is further South and West than the CDP article indicates.  When I initially added/updated content to the "Burlington, Ohio" article to correct it, my corrections were deleted/undone.  The last few days I have run into several instances of "CDP folk" deleting non-Census supplied content from City/Town/Village article (including when properly cited/referenced!), what is the point of those articles since the census-data is already readily available from the Census Bureau if non-Census content can not be added?  The point of creating a separate populated place article was to add the geographical and historical content which they are deleting from the CDP article. LeheckaG (talk) 01:34, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Burlington, Ohio
Point is that the "Burlington, Ohio" should be "Burlington (CDP), Ohio" since there are so many other "Burlington, Ohio".

I moved the page earlier today, and someone moved it back. LeheckaG (talk) 01:24, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the information. I'm not too familiarized with Wiki's rules, guidelines, and overall formats yet. I've had experience on forums, so most the coding isn't new to me, unless it's advanced coding, like HTML, etc. In the next few days I'll go back over what I've already adjusted, and readjust it farther. I'm working to get all of Louisiana on my watchlist to keep it organized. It definitely needs it. Mythical (talk) 03:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again
Some towns have it some don't. I thought it was something someone missed or edited out. I'll edit it out, can you give me more information on it so I know why and when it's wrong or right? Thanks. Mythical (talk) 03:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll go back and delete the ones I added within a few days. Mythical (talk) 04:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Ah never mind. After looking over several pages I finally took the meaning. At least I think. Only put the Louisiana template if they all-link back to each other, right? Mostly with Parishes, but some major cities listed would be have it also. I've added all the cities, towns, communities and parishes to "Watch" so I could go ahead and read over the rules to avoid future errors. I'm going to retrace over what I've done and reorganize. It shouldn't be as bad as before since much of it won't be as muddled. Once again thanks for the help, and don't be afraid to point out future mistakes. Mythical (talk) 07:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

From Uptown to Milneburg
Hi, could you please take a look at Uptown New Orleans, including recent edits by (who also has edited the article under other ip#s-- just look for the changes putting "Suburban" into the opening sentence)? I'm having a bit of trouble assuming good will from the anon editor, who has already called me a "Nazi". I thought a fresh informed perspective from someone not involved in the recent counter edits might be helpful. -- Infrogmation (talk)


 * I've removed the new "semi-urban" language from Uptown's opening. The source provided even describes uptown as an urban residential neighborhood.  The only mention of semi-urban was describing the development of the Garden District two centuries ago.  VerruckteDan (talk) 14:45, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Anon put it back, and has also removed citations from the article. Given the anon has also made edits like this, I think they're more intersted in some sort of POV pushing than legitimate improvement of articles, or can't tell the difference. I've given them a temporary block and removed some of their "fact" tags from the Uptown New Orleans article, as they seem to be made in bad faith on some fairly common knowledge points (though like many older articles, the article needs better sourcing; I've added a general note to that effect at the top). Let me know if you have any feedback. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

On another subject: Milneburg. I believe I've mentioned some problems between City Planning Commission neighborhood desigations and traditional or historic neighborhood designations. Milneburg seems to me about as bad an example as any-- as far as I can see, there is NO overlap between the famous historic Milneburg on the lakefront and the current CPC neighborhood designaiton. I therefore suggest the content be split into two articles. Thoughts? Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 15:56, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have no problem with splitting the articles, as long as the CPC neighborhood stays at the Milneburg, New Orleans location to remain consistent with all other neighborhoods. I''d also suggest hatnotes on both pages to redirect people as needed.  VerruckteDan (talk) 14:47, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay. So, if you don't object, let's leave the CPC neighborhood at the current title and split the historic lakefront town to "Milneburg", with hatnotes at the top of both articles. I'll put a note on the article talk page, and if there are no objections or counterproposals, split them in a week or so. Thanks again. -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Split done per above. -- Infrogmation (talk) 17:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted at LSU
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Louisiana. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Louisiana State University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Baton Rouge and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

File:William Wright Heard.jpg needs authorship information.
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:William Wright Heard.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion,

or the own template..
