Thanks for the message. In fact the edit I made look absolutely fine in Firefox 3.6.3, no overlap at all, otherwise I would have undone it. Maybe it's browser dependent? – ukexpat (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

"East" Jacksonville
First of all, I know that you're well-intentioned. I also suspect that you must be white. It's hilarious that you provided a link to this editor attempting to prove the existence of East Jacksonville. The article of yours, on Jacksonville neighborhoods, first of all is a joke. It includes Panama Park as part of "Northwest" Jacksonville, which will come as a shock to those who live in Panama. Yes, I can see you have used the official city designations, but those are artificial and go back only ten or fifteen years. Anyway, most white folk have no idea where "Eastside" is, and if you ask them, they think it's out near Sandalwood. This article reflects that understandable thinking. But to those who lived here before consolidation, "Eastside" means the area east of downtown to the river, to Tallyrand. Its really a tiny little area. "Arlington" was what we originally called "Southside", though I know that makes little sense looking at a map of downtown. But Arlington was not originally a part of the city limits. Anyway, I don't mean to argue that little stuff, because its all changed now with all the white Yankees that have moved to town, but here's what's funny: You linked to an organization that uses "East Jacksonville" in the way we old timer's do. Your article describes "East" Jacksonville as being the area out by Sandalwood and all, but the East Jacksonville Neighborhood Resource Center is not located anywhere near where your article calls "East Jacksonville", it is instead in the old East Side, what white people usually think of as "Downtown". Go look at their website, if you don't believe me.
I don't care much, its a garbage article anyway, with everyone putting in whatever they want, but it was just kind of funny when I saw what you thought proved your point, when it actually took your article and painted it all silly. You be good now, and don't let your misunderstanding of this stop you from doing other good work on important articles. 74.178.231.10 (talk) 23:49, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Please don't think that I'm criticizing you for creating this article, I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. But with the City contradicting our history there's not much accurate information to be found. And we've got standards on Wikipedia that need to be met, like WP:RS and WP:N, as you must know. This just doesn't fit in with those standards, in my opinion. 74.178.231.10 (talk) 23:52, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- You seem to be a good natured fellow traveler. Sorry to hear about what that admin did to you about the map. If I thought it was important, I'd fight the good fight, but there's so much more to be done that is so much more important. Happy trails! 74.178.231.10 (talk) 02:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

A few weeks ago you posted an edit about Brewton-Parker College and the unfortunate fraud almost 20 years ago. While there was fraud, it was a long time ago and the management of that time has been gone for quite some time. While the fact is true, in such a short entry it paints the college in a light that isn’t really accurate anymore. I am a graduate of BPC that predated the fraud, and am now a faculty member. Out management has worked hard over the last few years to keep the college viable financially and as a result they have had to cut some programs and even personal to ensure the college stays financially healthy and avoid any future financial scandal. This has lead to some unhappy former faculty and even students that lost their program. A few of them have been on a campaign to hurt the college. Some have used Facebook, some have tried to edit our Wikipedia page, some have even sent out factually inaccurate letters. I am asking you to please reconsider the addition of the fraud mention, or at the very least a change to reflect how the trustees replaced the management with new leadership that lead the college through the difficult times and through reaffirmation by SACS. There a lot of positive things about BPC and as we try to remain healthy financially, we want to look forward not back to one bad incident.

Would like to move the Acosta Inc. page to a new page with its correct name
Hello MGreason, I see that you have been actively updating the Acosta Sales & Marketing page -- thank you -- you've done a very nice job! I am the company's manager of public relations, and now in charge of managing our presence here on Wikipedia. The common name that we go by is Acosta Sales & Marketing (Acosta Inc. is our legal name but we never refer to ourselves by it, and people wouldn't think to look there.)
Quite frankly, Wikipedia is over my head right now. Would you be willing to help relocate the page to a new home? I don't know the best way to handle the ampersand (&), since I'm pretty sure that cannot be in the page title. Perhaps "Acosta Sales and Marketing".
I appreciate any help you can give me.

Barnett "Tower" incorrect, see message pls
Dear Mgreason,
The 42 story building built and owned by Barnett in downtown Jacksonville was NEVER called or named the "Barnett Tower". Somehow Bank of America has erased your memory, as they would love to erase the entire history of Barnett and say there was no such bank. The 42 story building in downtown Jacksonville was named and called the Barnett Center, NOT "Barnett Tower". My father, brother and myself all worked at Barnett many, many years. I myself was there 13. My father oversaw the construction of the Barnett Center from the late 80s until completion in early 1990s. I have a Tiffany crystal memento given by the bank to my father in the exact shape of the building with the Barnett Center name and date of completion engraved on it and I have a LOT of other documentation to back up my facts. If you wish to see any of these feel free to contact me. Your caption under the photo is referred to as the "Barnett Tower". That is something only BofA people call it when they renamed it and was never called that while Barnett existed. It was called the Barnett Center. Your caption needs to be changed before Bank of America brain washes anymore the long history of Jacksonville and Florida.
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bion barnett (talk • contribs) 18:01, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:29, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:EdAustin.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:EdAustin.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament
Hello,
The logo shown on the page is not the current logo.
The logo without the tournament year on our page on Facebook. I help maintain the Facebook page for the GJKT and have been asked to contact you requesting you to use this logo also. It will eliminate the logo having to be changed each year.
Thank you for your assistance with this. If you would like to contact me, please feel free to do so.

Young Harris College
Mgreason, I noticed that you reverted my changes to the Young Harris College wiki page stating "restore article to version before user Jfduguid added text from the college's website, a copyright violation". I work for the college and the changes were approved by college officials. Would it be possible to revert back the changes I made?

Hi. Regarding File:PhilmontWeAllMadeIt.JPG, which is discussed at Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_June_1#File:PhilmontWeAllMadeIt.JPG, could you check to see if there is a copyright notice anywhere on the object? The issue is that if there is no copyright notice, then the object itself is not copyrighted and we can use your photo. If there is a copyright notice, then the object is copyrighted and your photograph is a derivative work and we cannot use it. Thanks, --B (talk) 01:53, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:JBrowardCulpepper.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:JBrowardCulpepper.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.
If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
