RE: Transportation in New York City
Thanks for the great additions to this article! --Quasipalm 18:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Fulton Street Transit Center.jpg
Hi. Thanks also for your work on NY transportation-related articles. I noticed Image:Fulton Street Transit Center.jpg from the MTA, that you uploaded. Can you explain how it's a work of the U.S. federal government, and thus in the public domain? I believe MTA holds the copyright to everything on their website. Also, there's Image:PATH_WTC_Station.jpg, which I don't think is in the public domain (as it's been tagged). Please let me know if you think I'm wrong about that. At minimum, I think we can argue that it meets the fair use guidelines. Please review Image copyright tags for further details on choosing a copyright/license tag for images. Let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks. &mdash;Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 21:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, where did you get Image:Acela Map.JPG? Thanks. &mdash;Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 21:10, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Roosevelt Tramway.jpg
And, Image:Roosevelt Tramway.jpg? Just because the author didn't assert any copyright, I'm quite sure he/she automatically has copyright anyway. We need more details regarding where you got this, in order to look into its copyright status. Thanks. &mdash;Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 21:12, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

US Collaboration of the Week
Thank you for notifying me about the NYC subway article US Collaboration of the Week nomination. I was thinking about nominating a similar article myself. Also, thanks for all your additions to the article. Krashlandon (e)  23:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar
I, Krashlandon, bestow upon you the The Society Barnstar for all your additions to articles about New York, which I believe is another society entirely. You deserve it. Krashlandon (e)  02:18, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

US Collaboration of the week
You have voted for Transportation in New York City on WP:USCOTW. It was selected to be this week's winner. You are invited to contribute to improve Transportation in New York City in any way you can. Cmadler 13:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Yay! Transportation in New York City made it! Thanks for all your help. Krashlandon (e)  13:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

NYC Portal box
I think your suggestions are great! To edit a template, go to Template:New York City and edit it just like you would any other page. I went ahead and made the big changes, feel free to edit it some more. --Quasipalm 04:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the edits to the NYC Education article
While I understand that you were trying to clear things up.. you should not have removed this from the section: "-	Catholic schools in Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island are operated by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Catholic schools in Brooklyn and Queens are operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn."

See, there is no subarticle of private schools in NYC. Therefore removal of this means a complete omitting of this fact. WhisperToMe 02:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Userpage
Feel free to create a userpage for yourself. It is the first step to becoming a distinguished editor. You can put your awards on the page and write some information about your wiki-self. Krashlandon (e)  04:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

RE: Thanks for the Charts
Hey, thanks for your kind words about the work I've been doing on NYC demographics! It's always nice to hear. Don't worry, I'll be making plenty more infographics for NYC articles since it's really something I enjoy doing. I've noticed your work on the templates, and it's all great stuff too, so good job! (BTW, I did slim down the New York State template a bit because it was getting quite large -- we can re-add some of that information, but since it's on so many pages, I thought it made sense to keep it a bit stream-lined. Thoughts?) Anyway, take care! --Quasipalm 19:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Wv, hope you're doing well. I think the stats you requested might be here, but it seems they are offline for the moment. Also, pages with 1,000 hits in the month of 2-04 are here, but that list is getting pretty old and I'm sure it'd be a lot longer now. I'm not sure where else usage stats might be... but this page (when it's updated) might be helpful. Hope this helps! It might also be a good question for the Help Desk. --Quasipalm 00:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

NYC Peer Review
For the peer review, I really don't see anything wrong with this article. It is certainly big enough, and I really don't see any POV issues. Yes, however I do see the article placement issues. Thank you for nominating me, I will get working on it right away. This is a great honor from me, and I will try my hardest to fix the problems. Pkazazes 17:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the NY template. I can't believe no one had thought to do that yet. See you around! --Cantara 02:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

RE: NYC climate chart....
Hi Wv, great idea on the climate chart! I'll keep it in mind next time I have a few free hours to spend on a Wikipedia project. Also, thanks for the link about the tax imbalance! -Quasipalm 04:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

RE:New York City
I did not make up the 18.7 million figure for the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island MSA. I provided a link to the source which you have reverted. I only went by what the U.S. Census provided. If you want to talk about the combined statistical area (CSA), then it would be the New York-Newark-Bridgeport CSA and currently has a population of 22 million. CSAs, however, are not metropolitan areas&mdash;they combined several metropolitan areas and micropolitan areas of a region. See United States metropolitan area and http://www.census.gov/population/www/estimates/metropop/table01.csv.

Also, your edit summary on the New York City article made it seemed like I have vandalized the article by putting in false information&mdash;which I did not&mdash;and I do not appreciate that. RJN 23:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Just to let you know, CMSAs and PMSAs are no longer used after 2000&mdash;very outdated. In 2003, the U.S. Census introduced CSA, MSA, and MD (metropolitan division). RJN 23:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, well if the people in New York consider the CSA as the definition of their metropolitan area, then feel free to change it back. The New York-Newark-Bridgeport CSA has seven (7) separate metropolitan areas within it, just to let you know. The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island MSA has four (4) metropolitan divisions (MDs). RJN 00:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

''The Census bureau also seems to view the CSA as a more accurate reflection of the NY metro region than MSA. In a press release after the 2000 census it describes the NY metro population as "the most populous metro area with a population of 21.2 million." Since then the population has grown, but using the MSA measurement it would seem toa hve shrunk 5 million people in four years.''


 * Responding to above cut and paste text. Yes, the press release was made in 2001, but the change to CSA, MSA, and MD definitions did not happen until November 2003. After November 2003, they stopped using CMSAs and PMSAs. So in that 2001 press release, they were still referring to the CMSA of New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island.

Image copyright problem with Image:Commuters Reading Newspapers.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Commuters Reading Newspapers.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ( T / C ) 22:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

What happened to this image
Hi, Shyam is on vacation from Wikipedia, so I'll try to reconstruct what happened to this image. You uploaded it in December, and your final version of its description was:
 * Summary
 * Subway riders aboard the F Train in Manhattan read newspapers on their morning commute. New York's use of mass transit affects the city's unique commuter culture. Photo: |Travis Ruse


 * Licensing
 * Photographer: Travis Ruse • Homepage: www.travisruse.com • Image URL: http://www.travisruse.com/archives/2005/11/f_train_manhatt_2.php

This summary does not mention the Creative Commons license that you said the author agreed to on Shyam's talk page. We are very careful about the use of images with uncertain copyright status, and, as a result, deleted the image. If you would, please re-upload the image, describe the author's licensing in the description, and add the correct image copyright tag. The tags for compatible creative commons licenses are listed here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Best regards. ×Meegs 01:28, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Bombing the Times
Good job of putting something controversial into a very controversial article. Fair, to the point, reliably reports what's in the source. And I can't tell whether you love Ann, hate her, or are just an uninvolved reporter of her activities.

I do think the bombing belongs one step higher in the article, above the not as notable Domestic separatists stuff. I'll move it there if you don't object. Also, it would be good to have a cite for the NYT article she was talking about -- it's become pretty controversial itself. Lou Sander 20:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:NYC subway riders with their newspapers.jpg
Hi! can you post the body text of the email from the photographer granting permission to use this photo. The copy of this photo on his website is accompanied by a copyright notice that would block usage of the picture on wikipedia. Thanks, JeremyA 15:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

New York City neighborhood infoboxes
Hi again Wv235. I just uploaded this, which I made as the base for the maps of nyc. I was thinking about using this to make a highlight for each hood a while ago, but never had the chance. These neighborhoods are based on the official new york city ones here: -- so they might not correlate exactly with the articles, but they should be close. It might make sense to crop out Staten Island for the zoomed in version, because as is it might be a little hard to see the other highlighted hoods. -Quasipalm 02:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)



Is this enough to get you started? Let me know if I can continue to help. -Quasipalm 21:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The Bronx is not the only brough on the mainland see Marble Hill. You're doing a great job with the NYC page... I just have to nit-pick becuase my brother lives there.

New York Images
I like the concept of having the Haloween parade under culture for the NYC article... but we REALLY need a higher quality image. I left your image in... but I bet someone will change it or complain soon. Do you have any other photos? I'll see what I can dig up in wikimedia.

I took out PS. 1 it's absurd to have a photo of that and no photo of the Met. And I love PS. 1. --futurebird 04:17, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Donald Albury  00:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC) == Image:Street Musician in NYC Subway.jpg listed for deletion == Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Street Musician in NYC Subway.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission.  While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:NYCTV logo.PNG)
Thanks for uploading Image:NYCTV logo.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image:Christine Quinn.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Christine Quinn.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
