Orphaned non-free media (File:Katy Freeway 2009.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Katy Freeway 2009.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Those Spring Branch ISD schools are all notable

Hi! I notice you did an AFD on those Spring Branch ISD schools.

Have you read this? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Memorial Drive Elementary School

See, all of those schools won the National Blue Ribbon Award. This is their claim for notability. This caused the schools to survive AFD before. You said "Merger with the article Spring Branch ISD mentioned months ago, ignored." - No, it was proposed, and it failed as you can see in this AFD. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC) Since Juwiki didn't sign his post, I thought you created the AFD. I'll post this on his talk page. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:00, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Nottingham Forest Page

Hi, if you're going to be working on expanding the Nottingham Forest page, let me know if you need any help. I think it would be fun to do some research on this, find out what the area was like before Kickerillo turned it into suburbs, find out the names of the farmers, character of nearby communities, etc. It may require a trip to the Kendall branch library, or even the Houston room downtown, but like I say, that could be fun!Mmyers1976 (talk) 21:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

"It is a good idea to research Nottingham Forest, although I highly doubt it has much history behind it. The neighborhood is one of dozens just like it around the city - if you look up Nottingham Forest on Google, there are only basic information pages and city archives. The most detailed thing I've ever seen about the neighborhood is the original layout document, drawn in 1967, that is featured as the cover on the Nottingham Forest directory. The area isn't the subject of any books - I would've included them in references in the article if there were some. I bet there's something in the dark parts of the Internet - we'll just have to look. I have to admit, this area is pretty average and unnotable... and I barley know much about the neighborhoods outside Nottingham Forest VIII."

I totally understand why you would say that, looking around here, nondescript suburbs, strip malls, etc., you'd think that this was nothing but undeveloped land until they started putting in subdivisions in the late 50s. I grew up in a similarly nondescript suburban area that really didn't start getting developed until the late 60s - the klein area. First I lived at Kuykendahl and Cypresswood, then moved to Champion Forest at Cypresswood and 249. Looks exactly like this area of town. It wasn't until I was rummaging around at my parents' house one day when I was home for summer break that I found this locally published book by some Klein area women's association from 1978 that had done painstaking research and learned about the real distinct communities that had been up there until they were just absorbed by Houston suburbs -all founded by German settlers starting in the 1840s. There was once an old powdermill used for making gunpowder to be sent to confederate troops during the civil war just about a mile from where my parents' house is now, for instance. I bet there is a similar story in this area. Dairy-Ashford Road - that is the road that was originally built to run between two distinct communities - Dairy (later renamed Alief, and now just the name of a school district my wife works for) and Ashford, also known as Satsuma, which has disappeared. Addicks, Texas, also called Bear Creek, was built by german immigrants in 1850, and its original townsite is now within the Addicks Resevoir.Mmyers1976 (talk) 01:46, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and have you ever toured the Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary, at Wilcrest and Memorial. If not, you really should, and you can check it out on the Houston Audubon Society website. The Moores bought the land in the late 1920s, built a log cabin there and ran a lumbering and dairy operation there. I think there are a lot of mostly forgotten stories like that, waiting to be retold.

Oh, and about that fault line you talked about - if you enter the main section of nottingham forest on kickerillo, keep following Kickerillo down until you get to Heatherfield, take a right on Heatherfield to the corner of Twisted Oak, in the southeast corner right before the deadend street that gives access to Terry Hershey Park, the house in that corner has the fault line running right through its front yard, and you can totall see it because the front yard is actually higher than the front door of the house, obscuring your view of the front door of the house from the street.
