Your recent Central Texas location edits

What a flurry of edits! Yay! Deh

No kidding - you've been lighting up my watchlist for the last few days. Thanks for your contributions; and for fixing my careless mistakes at Comal Springs, Texas! Kuru ^talk 00:11, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Anderson Mill

The Anderson Mill, Texas CDP is not the same as the historic Anderson Mill community in the Handbook of Texas, which is several miles to the west near Cypress Creek. This is a common problem with CDPs; see Fort Hood, for example, which is currently serving double purpose for the fort itself & the CDP. If there's a standard Wikipedia way of dealing with this, I haven't seen it. Deh 03:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Watershed Maps

(moved from image talk page) This is a very nice watershed map...I like it a lot better than the simple marked up county maps I've been using for other rivers. Would you mind sharing how you made it? Thanks! JFreeman 02:48, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm trying to imitate the really cool maps that Kmusser did for the Brazos, Rio Grande, and Red rivers. It wasn't easy.

I'm using some free mapping software called Quantum GIS [1]. You can then download the map "layers" from the USGS [2] and tinker with those. I also had to use Microsoft Access to edit one of the database files that comes with each layer: this was the only way I could figure out to do things like "turn off every single river except the Guadalupe".

It took me the better part of a weekend to figure everything out - if you have any specific questions, let me know and I'll be happy to help! It was fairly interesting to play around with, and now I can always have a backup career as a cartographer... :) Kuru ^talk 03:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism reverting

Hi - Thanks for reverting the vandalism to Denver, Colorado just now, and leaving a note on the user's talk page. Checking the contribs, I noticed he'd also made some other vandalistic edits (which I took care of). Just wanted to let you know somebody noticed the good work. -- Rick Block (talk) 19:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

sorry

sorry but my friend is acting like a jackass and won't stop editing the pages. my friend would like to apoligize. i will disipline him to not have this predicament happen ever again

BBBM edit

Can I ask why this edit was removed? It was a genuine quote on the show. Blythy 21:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem

No problem! This guy is really persistent, I've put up a notice for the admins here. It's only a matter of time. Cheers, -- PerfectStorm ^{(Hello! Hallo! Bonjour! Holla!)} 03:45, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay he's been blocked, just minutes before I posted. Stupid slow computer lol. Regards, PerfectStorm ^{(Hello! Hallo! Bonjour! Holla!)} 03:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

received warning for something I didn't do

JFreeman, I was very surprised to be admonished for "work" on an entry that I didn't do. I will be glad to help clean up the Nick Gulas article, but perhaps you meant to send your warning to someone else? Please respond.--SidP 05:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

(From User_talk:Sidp):

SidP, I apologize. You're correct; the vandal was someone from an anonymous IP address (205.188.117.14). I was running Lupin's Filter recent changes script to watch for vandalism, and I apparently clicked on the "warn" link for the wrong message after I had reverted the Nick Gulas change. Please accept my apologies for wrongly sending the warning to you, and thanks for letting me know about it. --JFreeman 18:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, you got some benefit from your error. I went to the Nick Gulas entry and did some cleanup. Hope you like it. Never heard of the guy before myself. --SidP 09:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Thomas May

You proposed this page for deletion back in July. That was inappropriate, since it had been vandalised. You needed to have at least looked at the page history for that: it was not a newly-created page. In fact you managed have a page of value speedied. Please bear in mind that vandalism is a distinct possibility, in oages with nonsense content. Charles Matthews 15:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thank you very much for the barnstar - I swear I'm planning on finishing out the rest of the rivers eventually! I'm very glad you've decided to stick around and fill out the geographic articles on Texas! Kuru ^talk 23:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Puggle777

Thankyou for your patience JFreeman, you will see that I intended to change the edit on COLORADO back (an extra t on 'the') but your anti-vandalism protocols did it first. There was another edit test (land area) that I changed by 1 and changed back. Thankyou for alerting me to the sandbox page, I won't experiment with real pages again. Looking forward to becoming part of the communnity!

George Strait Edits

I put up that link because that site represents an accurate picture of him as an artist it also offers exclusive information from the label he is on. I feel it is unfair to allow unofficial links but not the ones from the label that actually has the correct information. Also the information on that page is approved by the artist for use. It is simply a place for fans to learn more. Is there a way to resolve this?

Thanks

Thanks for the information. It seems many other artists have links to their profiles within their labels webpage as well. I just think it's only fair to show the artist approved links as well as unofficial links. If wikipedia were only to have unofficial likns it would seem bias. I have only had one other encounter of this type and that user and I resolved it. I did replace the link but I also put up a message on the talk section. Thanks again for your help. 167.167.7.254 20:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
