Format for Talk Archive

Hey CPAScott. Your user page is coming along great! If you remember, I stuck my uninvited nose into a discussion you were having here about a format for archived talk pages. I've just updated mine with a modified "boilerplate metadata vfd" template and I think it came out pretty well. If you get a chance, check it out, User talk:Satori Son/Archive01, and let me know what you think. Thanks, --Satori Son 21:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I think, anti-climatic as it may be, that the page is fine. Good job. --CPAScott 15:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Rochester, New York

Hi CPAScott. I noticed you added a bunch of articles to Category:Rochester, New York, even though they were already in subcategories of that category (such as Category:Sports in Rochester, New York. I think current convention is to not duplicate categories like that, but I could be wrong. Could I inquire as to your reasoning? Powers T 13:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey LtPowers -- nothing more than oversight. If any of the added articles already appear in a sub-category, feel free to remove them from the generic category. I tried to be mindful of this, but may have duplicated a few. --CPAScott 16:30, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Nathaniel Rochester

Nice work on the Nathaniel Rochester article. =) Powers T 02:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Why thank you! 99.9% of the article's content comes from History of Rochester published by the Rochester Historical Society and available online at the Rochester Library's website. It's a very interesting periodical. --CPAScott 02:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request

This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants.

Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 21:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, dear wikipedian. I have done some expansion in the Simon Willard article. I would like that you tell me your opinion. Anytime.--AndresArce 01:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)AndresArce

Accuracy of New York Governor and Lt. Gov. Dates

I saw your note on Talk:List of Governors of New York regarding confirmation of the service dates for all of New York's Governors and Lieutenant Governors. Please let me know if anyone has taken care of this as if not I'd been interested in getting it resolved. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 21:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

==To the best of my knowledge, no, the issue is still open. A solid authoritative source such as state government-publication is likely necessary to be certain dates are correct. Please feel free to edit and let me know how it goes! --CPAScott 14:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reply ... I'll check the dates against the official Green Book sometime in the next few days. Newyorkbrad 14:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Lieutenant Governors of New York

Following up on your comment on the talkpage for List of Governors of New York, I have investigated and determined that the dates for the Lieutenant Governors are accurate. See my explanation there. Accordingly, I am removing the "accuracy disputed" tag from the article. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 00:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

School of the Art Institute of Chicago

Hi. I noticed your comment on the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's discussion page and even found a reference for a quote similar to the one you deleted. I also just recently made a lot of edits and was wondering if you'd like to review and give some feedback. --SquatGoblin 02:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you please do my taxes?

Just joking. Have a great day! Real96 04:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia.

Standpipes in the street?

What does it mean for standpipes to be in the street during a drought? It doesn't seem to make any sense. Any idea? I'm on the west side of the Pond, so maybe the expression is a local phenom. Pat 19:02, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I can't answer this one. Check with Necrothesp as he created that page. BTW, I'm American also. --CPAScott 19:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

AWB usage

WP:AWB advises: Avoid making insignificant minor edits such as only adding or removing some white space, moving a stub tag, converting some HTML to Unicode, removing underscores from links (unless they are bad links), or something equally trivial. This is because it wastes resources and clogs up watch lists. For example, [1] and [2]. In another edit, you used AWB to move an "ua" interwiki link out of the interwiki list. The ua link was simply incorrect; I corrected it to uk and put it back in its original order. Cheers! -- JHunterJ 16:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Edward R. Hills House

Thank you, hopefully it will undergo some expansion sometime soon. IvoShandor 07:04, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

CPAScott

Hello. I once vandalized your page on Grafton, Massachusetts last summer... almost one year ago, actually. I also deleted everything on your page and replaced it with "poop is good." Though I found that to be particularly comical, I have sense matured in the past year (graduating from the tender age of 16 to the slightly less tender digits of 17) as well as began dating the local police chief's daughter. Therefore, my urge to cause public vandalism died down, and therefore, I just wanted to apologize for any inconvienence I have caused you. And, to note, any vandalization on the Grafton page was made by residents of Grafton. The second time it occured was by a fellow I work with at the local grocer; he can't spell too well.

Notability of Nichols Discount City

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Nichols Discount City, by Nuttah68 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Nichols Discount City seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Nichols Discount City, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 17:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Baseball/League and team article standardization task force

High there! Just to let you know that I have joined the project. I'll help out soon enough, because I've got other things to do. Soxrock 12:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Standardization Task Force

Wow. I didn't know about this at all. I've been trying to do this, and I suppose I may as well make it official and join up. I don't know how much time I'll be able to put into it right now, but this is a great goal of mine. Hopefully, we can get this work done. --Silent Wind of Doom 01:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Charles Laquidara

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Charles Laquidara, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rtphokie (talk) 12:10, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Charles Laquidara

Minor League Baseball players

Since you are a member of the WikiProject Baseball group, I would like your input on individual AAA players' articles. What is the threshhold for individual player notability? Thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Blue Hills Reservation

Hello: Three years ago you made a major revision to the subject article. In it you said, "Sixteen historic structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places tell the fascinating tales of Native Americans, explorers, farmers, quarry workers and inventors." Since I'm fleshing out the individual articles on the NRHP sites, I started to add a list to the subject article, but I count only nine or maybe ten:

  1. Blue Hills Headquarters
  2. Brookwood Farm
  3. Comfort Station (Milton, Massachusetts)
  4. Eliot Memorial Bridge
  5. Great Blue Hill Observation Tower
  6. Great Blue Hill Weather Observatory
  7. Metropolitan District Commission Stable
  8. The 1790 Barn at Brookwood Farm
  9. Refreshment Pavillion (Milton, Massachusetts)
  10. and, perhaps, Green Hill Site, which doesn't have a location in NRIS.

Could you perhaps remember the other six or seven, or dig them out of your notes? Please reply here. Thanks, . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 21:51, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, thank you. I found the original NRHP nomination form, which indeed shows sixteen places, although not all are actually within the reservation.. . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 22:25, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

James -- you may have discovered by now that the paragraph you reference was taken from the DCR's Blue Hills website at http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/metroboston/blue.htm. It's their statistic. --CPAScott (talk) 13:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Re:List of Wars

Thanks for the message. I'll forward your concerns to the main talk page at milhist and see what sort of discussion-based consensus develops for the pages. TomStar81 (Talk) 20:54, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey

I saw your coment at Talk:List of wars 1945–1989. Since you support the merge, leave a comment saying you support the merge in the Merge section of the talk page. B-Machine (talk) 15:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello CPAScott! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 400 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

  1. Edward M. Augustus, Jr. - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
  2. Roland Hemond - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Proposed deletion of Roche Bros

The article Roche Bros has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This chain is not notable and this article does not cite any references or sources.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
