Guidance on reverting vandalism
Hi. I just noticed that you reverted vandalism on the Malcolm X page caused by User:68.55.222.76. Thanks for that, reverting vandalism is a very important task on Wikipedia. However, in future can you please leave a warning on the user's talk page? This will serve the dual purpose of encouraging the editor to stop their destructive activities and will also let other editors know that the user has a history of vandalism. For the full guidance on dealing with vandalism and what warning messages to use, please see Wikipedia:Vandalism. Thanks again. Road Wizard 13:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I like a lot of the work you have done on the portal. It's good to see someone else take an interest. --evrik 20:08, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Portal Tagging
Why are we disagreeing on this issue? I think tagging articvles promotes Philadelphia and the work of the wikiproject (pretzel or not). -- evrik 20:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

My project page
Thank you for noting the redirect link on one of my project pages (User:Cobaltbluetony/Project Pages/Haddon Township). However, is it necessary to edit material which has not been formally submitted to an article? - CobaltBlueTony 15:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- It was harmless; I was just wondering how you came upon it. I imagine that sort of fix would have been picked up if/when I submitted the article. No worries, though. - CobaltBlueTony 17:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Cultural depictions of Philadelphia
I fully understand the purpose of the Cultural Depictions article. I simply don't agree with your interpretation. Expanding the introduction in the manner you should suggest would alter the article's fundamental purpose, and that's just not proper. -- ABCxyz 02:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to be argumentative or condescending, so please don't take it that way, but here is one of Merrian-Webster's defintions of "culture" --
- "[a] the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon man's capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations, [b] the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group, [c] the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes a company or corporation"
- Believe or not, those things are embodied in a parade as diverse as the Mummers. It is not simply a parade, and cultural depictions need not be fictional. Even televised coverage of a circus is a depiction of culture (though I wouldn't put one on the list). That's why I disagree with you.

invalid geocoordinates
The coordinates you added to Commerce Square are invalid because the number of minutes in the latitude (95) is greater than sixty. Perhaps you meant 39.9541 degrees north instead of 39 degrees 95 minutes 41 seconds north. Please check your sources and fix the coordinates in the article. --Stepheng3 (talk) 02:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Medvedenko, I was looking through some articles about Philadelphia skyscrapers and architecture and apparently you added a whole lot of interesting and unheard-of information about those skyscrapers.

Just ruined your new GA
I tried putting in a new NRHP infobox with "contributing building" in it (as is usual but by no means required). I wanted to keep the technical details from the old infobox and tried to embed it - looks like sh--!
Don't worry on 2 counts. 1) I should be able to find somebody who can fix it. 2) if you then don't like it, it's easy enough to go back to the original.
BTW - I got some new pix today.
Smallbones (talk) 01:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- The infobox looks a lot better now - thanks to User:Niagara. I'm almost done with changes - but tomorrow will probably add a minor reference to the historic district. Do feel free to revert any or all of this. Smallbones (talk) 02:26, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- After a long weekend, I'll certainly be able to take pix of just about any skyscrapers in Philly (there aren't any in NE Philly I hope). That said, skyscrapers are the most difficult buildings to photograph - you need to be blocks away (which can make getting the right address a pain) and have the right light. Best to give me a list of a score or so and be prepared to throw out half of the resulting pix. Just let me know what you need. Smallbones (talk) 18:31, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
