Ohio Articles
[edit]Keep up the good work!

I would go by what the Technical Services Straight Line Diagrams say. These come straight from ODOT, and are what I believe to be the definitive source on all state, federal, and interstate routes in Ohio. — Homefryes Say•Do 13:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

"Original state routes"
[edit]Hi; just a quick note...if Simpson's page states that a route is an "original state highway," then it was certified in 1924. This information can be found at Explanation of the Ohio State Highway System (The Unofficial Ohio State Highways Web Site) by John Simpson. Just a little tidbit for ya! Happy editing! — Homefryes Say•Do 13:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Article Rating
[edit]Good day. I noticed you recently rated the Columbus, Ohio article as "B" class. However, there was no explanation as to the reasoning behind this mark. Could you provide some justification for it as well as suggest ways in which the article could be improved? That would be immensely helpful. The article is quite extensive and very well referenced, so I am a bit surprised that it was given the same grade as approximately 1.5 years ago prior to a number of major improvements. --Analogue Kid 14:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ohioan, I've quickly checked out the Columbus, Ohio article and it appears to be ready to become a good article. If you want, nominate the article on the good article nomination page. I'll then review it more completely and will be happy to promote it (if everything checks out).--Alabamaboy 23:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

You have gone way over the WP:3RR limit on the above article. While I appreciate your reporting of it to WP:RPP, the correct response isn't to revert-war. The other anon editor was at something like 8R and has now been blocked from editing - Alison ☺ 01:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, I appreciate it because there has been too much vandalism going on for the last several days.---OHWiki 01:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Note also that 3RR doesn't apply to undoing vandalism. Just keep in mind there's a difference between vandalism and a content dispute. Rklawton 20:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
An important letter
[edit]Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

USRD Inactivity check and news report
[edit]Hello, OHWiki. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
- Please update your information at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
- There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

Re: Ohio state highway articles
[edit]I honestly don't know. I do know that SR 761 was tagged with speedy deletion because I was the only one who contributed to the article. There are several Ohio state route articles that only one person contributed to, so maybe they're going after all of them? I'll keep an eye out; maybe the members of the project just need to contribute more to other articles. MilkTaco 18:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Dayton, Ohio Roads Meet
[edit]Hi - This is Dan, a frequent contributor to the Ohio Roads Project, and also the webmaster of Ohio Highway Ends (http://www.state-ends.com/ohio/). I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is a gathering of roads enthusiasts, if you will, taking place in Dayton on Saturday, 5/10 at Logan's Road House, 2819 Centre Dr., Fairborn, OH 45324. The first part is a meet-and-greet over lunch, giving people a chance to shoot the breeze, with some attendees potentially bringing some interesting maps, atlases, pictures and more. There may even be a freebie or two floating out there at the gathering (such as a free map). After lunch, we'll divide up and take a tour of some highlights from Dayton area highways, including the almost-completed I-70/75 interchange (the "Freedom Veterans' Crossroads"), reconstruction of the I-75/OH 4 interchange, the newly-reconstructed US 35 through downtown Dayton, and a side tour to an historic crossroad: Dixie Highway & the National Road. We should be wrapped up with the tour by 4:30-5:00 PM. That's a brief synopsis of what the event will entail; I am sending a special invite to all of the Ohio Roads Project editors. These events are always fun, unique and very informative. If you have the opportunity on that day, I would like to invite you to join us. If you have any questions or would like to RSVP, please let me know in the coming days. Thanks, and have a great week! DanTheMan474 (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Jump-Starting the Ohio Highways WikiProject
[edit]OHWiki: Hope you're having a good July 4th weekend so far. I am working to start ramping up the Ohio Highways WikiProject on a much larger scale, especially coming off of one of the first Ohio highway GAs (Ohio State Route 716). There is a lot of work to do on this project, given a number of stubs and a number of routes that do not even have any pages, but we definitely have the people out there to make it happen...especially including yourself. I wanted to talk to you about some of the possibilities for this; please let me know if you would be interested, and if so we will coordinate from there. Thanks, and enjoy the remainder of your weekend! DanTheMan474 (talk) 17:30, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Daytona Beach, Florida, Demographics Table
[edit]A while back, you added a demographics table to Daytona Beach, Florida. I had to delete the figures from 1910/1920 because they are likely out of context. You are probably not aware that three separate cities, Daytona, Daytona Beach, and Seabreeze merged in 1926 into a consolidated Daytona Beach (so that the figures you pulled for 1910-1920 were only for the OLD Daytona Beach, which was a tiny city). Daytona was the oldest and largest of the three cities. I don't know if you can still dig up the data, but if you can pull up the populations for all three cities, it would be more accurate. Gamweb (talk) 17:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing the work to gather the additional info. I will have to figure out where to put the new infoboxes now! LOL - I was thinking about making separate pages for Daytona and Seabreeze - I guess I should do that now. (BTW: Daytona was founded in 1876; Daytona Beach and Seabreeze were both founded around 1900.) Gamweb (talk) 17:57, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Demographics for Fun Coast, Florida
[edit]Hi, I am working on a new page for Fun Coast (combined Flagler County and Volusia County) in Florida (in my sandbox first). I wanted to ask if you would be interested in helping me on a Demographics section for the article? I kind of like the way the demographics section in South Florida is put together, and am trying to figure out how to find the same data. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Request permission to use your photography
[edit]Hello I found your downtown shot of Norwalk Ohio. I'd like to have your permission to present your photograph for use in in a new/remodeled restaurant in Norwalk. Upon approval we would enlarge it to 16x20, mat and frame it for use as wall decor in this single restaurant. Your name would appear in the credit line. Thank you for your time.

- Yes, why not, you do have permission to use my photograph. I'm more then happy to allow you to present my photograph for use. The photograph will be nice enlarged to 16x20, mat and frame it for use as wall decor in a new/remodeled restaurant in Norwalk, Ohio. If all this gets done, I might sometime go up to Norwalk to see the mat and frame decor.—OHWiki 00:08, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

PAW
[edit]Dear OHWiki,
Thanks for uploading the Mechanics Bank photo into the Richland County NRHP list.
It reminded me that I had some photos from April 29, 2011 that I hadn't yet uploaded or quite figured out yet. On that afternoon I zipped through town and took photos of about 25 NRHP sites on Park Avenue West. I was disappointed that I couldn't snap all the PAW sites and unfortuneately couldn't quite figure out the adresses on a couple. Is there any chance you could check out or confirm a couple of these for me? Today I switched what I thought was
- 428 PAW to 437 PAW, and
- 365 PAW to 415 PAW
I believe they are now correct, but it bothers me that I wasn't sure when I uploaded them. If you see any other apparent mistakes please let me know.
I'm a bit obsessive about completing the NRHP county lists. Do you know that there are only about 22 NRHP sites left to photograph before the Richland County list is fully illustrated? In particular, I'd like to see the John Sherman Memorial Gateway (listed on July 8, 1983 at 699 Park Ave., W. 40°45′32″N 82°32′26″W right next to the Fraser House). I walked by this several times without knowing what I was looking for exactly, and even got a partial photo of half of it while taking a pic of a historical marker. It's right where Brinkerhoff Ave meets Park Ave. West. Any help would be appreciated.
All the best,
Smallbones (talk) 21:47, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks - any contribution of NRHP site pix is always appreciated. I'll assume that I finally figured out the right address for the right photo unless you move them around, but in the odd chance that I make it back to Mansfield again (from Philadelphia) I may check again. It looks to me like "Pacific Curios Antiques 365 Park Ave., W. 40°45′31″N 82°31′46″W" has been torn down for the Park Avenue car wash (381 PAW) with 359 immediately to the east. I don't have a clue as to why I didn't find the "John Krause House 428 Park Ave., W. 40°45′33″N 82°31′53″W". I wouldn't be too afraid of neighborhood disapproval in taking these types of pix - for every 100 sites I take, I'd say I get 3 or 4 disapproving glances or comments ("Why don't you mind your own business" or "leave us alone") and 10-20 positive comments ("You know I went to school there - it was a great place" or "I didn't think many people really knew how important this is"). Mostly, of course folks just ignore me!

- Just saw your comments at Smallbones' talk. Unfortunately, the Register can sometimes get way behind: the Lockington Covered Bridge near Sidney in Shelby County was arsoned in 1989, and Holy Rosary Catholic Church in St Marys in Auglaize County was listed a full year after it was demolished by its owner.

The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is hosting its second Backstage Pass and its first Edit-a-Thon on Saturday, August 20. The museum is opening its doors to Wikipedians interested in learning about the museum's collection, taking them on a tour of the vast collection before spending the afternoon working with curators to improve articles relating to the Caplan Collection of folk toys and Creative Playthings objects. Please sign up on the event page if you can attend, and if you'd like to participate virtually you can sign up on the Edit-a-Thon page. ---LoriLee (talk) 15:10, 17 August 2011 (UTC) |

Ohio politicians
[edit]A lot of damage has been done to Ohio politicians, and I was hoping you could help fix it. For one, neither the Ohio House of Representatives or the Ohio Senate is up-to-date. Both have been updated, but have been reverted to show incorrect information. Notably, Louis Terhar, Nan Baker, Sean O'Brien, Bob Peterson, Andy Thompson, and Brian Hill have been deleted. Terhar is also not shown on the Ohio House page.
In the Senate, Larry Obhof has been deleted. Also, Tom Patton has not demonstrated as the new majority leader, and the resignation of Tim Grendell has not been shown. Would you mind recreating these pages, as well as demonstrating the resignation of Grendell and the making of Patton as majority leader? I think it needs to be done.
Could you propose recreating those pages? and updating the specifics in the Ohio Senate? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.51.105.50 (talk) 16:01, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Wooster High School
[edit]Hi OHWiki, I'm pretty new to new to wikipedia and not sure if I'm even messaging you the correct way. Anyway, I uploaded a picture of Wooster High School to Wikimedia Commons a little bit ago and put it into for the "Wooster High School (Ohio)" article. I did a little research and saw that you do a lot of editing on Ohio articles and I was hoping you could help on this one. I was hoping you could help reformat the picture like all of your other articles, so they are all at least uniform, or simply take a better picture since mine isn't too clear. I would appreciate the help! Feel free to message me back, even though I'm not sure how to see messages yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahogea9018 (talk • contribs) 23:03, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Mansfield, Ohio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Spartan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ohio Wikimedians User Group - Invitation
[edit]Hi OHWiki,
I'm Kevin, one of the founding members of the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Created in July 2016, we're working to be a central group of Ohio Wikimedians who organize and support offline events, promote the Wikimedia movement in Ohio, build connections throughout our state, and above all, support each other. We already have a handful of members and have worked to support multiple events, including Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States and several Art+Feminism edit-a-thons at universities throughout Ohio.
I wanted to reach out to you and invite you to join the Ohio Wikimedians User Group. Being a part of the user group will allow easy communication between active Ohio editors, notifications of upcoming events in the Ohio area, and, if you're interested, the opportunity to help organize events such as edit-a-thons or workshops. Some notes:
- All members receive a monthly newsletter with recent happenings, upcoming events, and more. Check out our April newsletter here.
- This Thursday at 8:30 EST, we're having our first online meeting. Check out our meeting page here for more details, an agenda, and a section to sign up if you'd like to join us. Topics will include introductions and brainstorming for future projects.
Right now we have a Wikipedia Takes Columbus photo event going on, a Wiknic coming up this summer, and opportunities to attend the upcoming Ohio Private Academic Libraries Conference. If you're interested in joining us, feel free to add your name here - and feel free to reach out to me (or post on the user group's talk page) with questions or discussions. Thanks! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 07:29, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Mansfield on OpenStreetMap
[edit]Hello OHWiki,
I'm a former Wikipedia contributor (see my German page) now contributing to OpenStreetMap, the 'Wikipedia of the maps', for some years. I've been mapping some areas in Morrow and Richland Counties for a while now (espacially Mount Gilead and Ontario) and wanted to ask you if you would like to help me a bit, if you want to. Since I am not a local myself (actually living abroad) your additions could enrich the map a lot. :-)

2019 US Banknote Contest
[edit]US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |
