Template: Providence skyscrapers

I like what you've done with the template and went ahead and created the List of tallest buildings in Providence that you have anticipated with it. I put up something very rudimentary. Eventually, we should turn it into a table with heights, dates, etc...--Loodog 16:43, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Your page looks great. I was going to make a new page with heights and dates and images, but I didn't quite get around to it when I made the template. So, I'm working on the list now, and it should be done soon. 01:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and I am skeptical of using Emporis for the Providence page. While it is usually very reliable, it seems to have some errors for Providence (i.e., height and rank of Turk's Head Building). I think that we should should use Skyscraperpage.com as a primary resource (for building rankings and heights) instead. Raime 02:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

No, you're right. Emporis is no better a source to use than wikipedia itself. I've seen emporis magically chop 8 floors off a building.--Loodog 04:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Miami-area special project: Your input needed!

Dear Raime,

You appear to be active in WikiProject Miami, or have contributed a lot recently to Miami-related articles. I would like to invite you to contribute your opinions on a grant proposal for a project that may provide unique and helpful resources for Wikipedia in Miami.

Over the last six months, Wikipedia and Wikinews have been discussing a project proposal with the Knight Foundation which could create a new type of an environment for locally-oriented encyclopedic and news content. The general idea involves an official sanctioning of a local Wiki community in one or two charter areas, one of them being Miami. The Wiki community would be empowered to cover all things Miami -- even things that normally would not pass notability restrictions -- and cover both encyclopedic information as well as current events in the South Florida community. The proposal may even involve the creation of a physical "wiki space": some sort of a local room or office to coordinate efforts and provide community members with a place to create and edit articles.

I'm working on formalizing the proposal, and would like to invite you and other Miami contributors to a project brainstorming session via chat. The chat will take place this Saturday, July 14th, at 12 noon Eastern Time (9am Pacific). If enough people can't make it there will be an additional repeat meeting at some later time.

The online meeting will happen using IRC on the channel #wikipedia-miami -- you can use your own chat client or the use this handy link to join the chat. Please don't forget to provide your username when you log into chat.

I look forward to talking with you. Thanks! -- IlyaHaykinson 04:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Gilberthouse.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Gilberthouse.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 11:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Plymouth (Jordan Hospital)

hey thanks for your help with editing the jordan hospital page —Preceding unsigned comment added by PlymouthMA (talk • contribs) 07:32, 22 July 2007 (UTC}

No problem; I was glad to assist. Based on your username and your knowledge of Jordan Hospital, I'm guessing you are familiar with Plymouth. The town's article has has a lot of work done recently, but it still has a long way to go. Any additions you could provide to the article would be greatly appreciated. Raime 23:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help

Thank you for your recent contributions to Vermont sites, particularly newspapers. fyi we recently had to fight off an Afd on a paper for lack of notability. The admin (!) nominating it threatened to do so to all Vt papers (cause they were small) except maybe the BFP! It gave us all a start, to say the least! Anyway, did want to make you aware of that. (We managed, barely, to come up with a notability item for the paper of interest and the nominator withdrew the Afd). Student7 13:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I was glad to help, and thanks for the input. I saw the Afd post at the top of one of the articles, and was pretty confused. But I also saw that the request failed, so all is good! I was thinking, should the Rutland Herald still be classified as a stub article? I was thinking of removing it, as The Burlington Free Press was recently de-stubbed, but both articles are of similar length and quality. Raime 03:24, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll leave it to your good judgement, but it was the stub that caught this admin's eye. Prior to the Afd nomination, there was nothing there. There was some push to "clear up stubs" awhile back. That may have triggered it. Student7 11:19, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

{{Rhode Island-stub}} and {{Rhode Island-struct-stub}}

Hi - two stub templates which you created have been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub types, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, do not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I did not choose the names; I merely created the templates. The stub names were previosuly chosen by WikiProject Rhode Island, but I assumed no one ever created the templates as they were featured in red on the page. As they were already listed on the Rhode Island WikiProject Page (see the page's history section), I assumed they were already requested and approved, but that no one ever actually created them. Sorry for any confusion. Raime 03:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Your input would be helpful

Hi - I've seen that you've made thoughtful comments to previous history articles undergoing FAC, and I would be interested in your assessment of the readiness of the Night of the Long Knives. Even if do not have a special interest in German history, the article will benefit from a variety of viewpoints. It's currently at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Night of the Long Knives. Thanks, Mcattell 23:38, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Glad to help. I've reviewed the article, and it looks great. I just had a few comments. I definitely think this article is worthy of FA-class. Great Job. Raime 05:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
