Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I've created an article requested at Wikipedia:Requested articles#Images needing articles from a photograph you took of the Cataract Falls Covered Bridge (in case you wish to add/edit/remove something). Cheers ~ ~ benzband (talk) 23:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Hey Nyttend- I was FINALLY able to get a good scan and posted the image to the article. Sorry about the delay.Coal town guy (talk) 02:57, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to be so confusing and sorry that I made a mistake - I could not access CRGIS yesterday and I somehow got mixed up and thought this was not part of the PennDOT multiple bridges on the NRHP TR listing. I have uploaded the photo to Commons and placed it in the Frantz's Bridge article. I only have limited internet access this week, so sorry this took me until now. I do like the pictures of the cabins at Kooser State Park you added today. Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

You are very welcome. I am not sure what the new Laurel Hill State Park picture is from you though, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 04:07, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation of the Laurel Hill photo (and sorry not to reply before). I checked with User:KLOTZ (on Commons) and he did not have a picture of Frantz's Bridge. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

FYI, I deleted New Rochelle art colony, the speedy deletion of which you had earlier declined.

Your rationale "seems to be a decent article" is an apt description of the vast majority of this banned user's work -- with emphasis on the word "seems". Investigation generally reveals a variety of issues: that the cited sources don't actually support the content, that the content is a copyvio of some other source that was (conveniently) not cited, and/or that the "sources" are online content created and disseminated by the banned user. I suspect, but I have not bothered to try to prove, that he personally invented the notion of a "New Rochelle art colony".

A lot of Wikipedia content is kept merely because it "seems to be decent", but that kind of AGF-based rationale should not apply when dealing with a user with a long-term record of trying to foist off misrepresentations. --Orlady (talk) 14:35, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Nyttend,

There are probably half a dozen governmental offices that create accounts that promote what they do. The name is an abbreviation of the commission

I read the Hub when I'm in Kearney, and occasionally send them a letter-to-the-editor. Their state, national international coverage is fairly minimal, and I rely on the Omaha World-Herald for that sort of thing. Mostly, I read the Hub to keep up with local news. I'm not much of a sports enthusiast, so I can't really comment on that section. Hope your friend enjoys it; I like Kearney myself, but it might be a bit of a shock for someone who's lived in major urban areas all his life. Ammodramus (talk) 10:27, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I posted a link at ref desk which may (?) answer the question. It is to a book with a chapter on pomeranian architecture. I hope it helps. Capitalismojo (talk) 03:10, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I'd seen the "Thou shalt not park here" sign somewhere before, maybe it was in Goodland (not so far from Lafayette). Or maybe it just has something to do with midwestern church humor vs. the east coast version. I won't even start in on meetinghouse humor.

AS far as WebM, I'd thought that the WMF techies had it all set up (silly me). Ruhrfisch said that it didn't work on one of his computers but did work on another. I'll suggest this page http://www.webmproject.org/users/#supported_web_browsers which shows that most newer browsers support it automatically, but with Windows IE 9 and later requires some downloads of components.

I'd first check it out on another computer to see if it works for you there. More later but keep me informed. BTW what do you see where the video is in the article before you click the start arrow? Smallbones_(smalltalk) 22:29, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Well I've certainly been on US 41/52 not so far away, as well as on I-65. Yes, even in

Watseka, Il and I got lost in Rensselaer, Indiana, though I remember thinking that this shouldn't be possible in such a small town. You are seeing what you're supposed before hitting the go triangle. I'll ask Fabrice Florin at WMF if there is a magic solution, other than buying a new computer. BTW, go with a Mac, you'll never regret the switch. All the best. Smallbones_(smalltalk

Hi Nyttend, I wanted to ask why you declined a G6 on Template:Australian mobile phone companies/doc. It may be old, but if it's redirecting to another template's main page, that seems just plain wrong. Another editor at RfD agreed. It looked like a no-brainer G6 to me. Shouldn't this be deleted to make room for proper documentation? --BDD (talk) 15:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand the reference to off-wiki conduct that you included in your statement about my arbitration request having to do with Mars. That case is entirely about tendentious editing and personal attacks on talk pages. (It is true that one editor was attacking another editor based partly on his off-wiki posts, but the attacks were on article talk pages.) Was your comment intended for another case? Robert McClenon (talk) 01:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

I thought that was what happened. My case may be declined, because the arbitrators appear to be thinking that there are other dispute resolution vehicles to be considered first, but, as you can see, it has to do with disruptive editing of Wikipedia. No offense taken. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:57, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Nyttend, what does this mean at the end of a ref

Hi. I removed the statement you inadvertently posted under the "Mars" case. Don't worry about it; no harm done. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:53, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

A picture that you took has helped a lot for an article that I started, Gene Stratton-Porter Cabin (Rome City, Indiana). Excellent. SL93 (talk) 22:50, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Regarding this matter, it's been over a month since you posted that notice, and I find no evidence that anyone has contacted the school. (Then again, a perfectly suitable replacement has turned up, in my opinion.) All the best, – Quadell ^(talk) 20:00, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I meant File:Eliot-hall-in-snow.jpg. At least, it seems like a good enough replacement in my book. But anyway, it's your call. – Quadell ^(talk) 21:11, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

P.S. And now that I look at Commons, I see we have File:EliotHallReedCollege.jpg as well. – Quadell ^(talk) 21:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello. You are one of 6 or 7 Admins who has supported including DOB info in the Duckworth article: Talk:Tammy Duckworth#RfC on providing full date of birth. Yesterday I proposed moving the discussion to the BLPN so that we could get a policy determination on this and thereby avoid such prolonged and repeated discussions on article talk pages. In the last few comments I haven't seen a positive to my proposal. Would you care to opine on moving the discussion? (I am posting this message to each of the admins.) Thanks. – S.

Do you mind merging this page history with the actual article as well, considering this is where it was originally at? CaptainAssassin is under investigation for disruptive page relocation. This was another example. This is what were discussing about him. Rusted AutoParts 23:34, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 02:38, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

As you can figure, me and The Rambling Man don't get along. Anyway, yesterday he began tagging all these town and city articles as you are well aware of. TRM began tagging articles notable people sections yesterday afternoon beginning with Two Rivers, Wisconsin. He did this for I think is a total of 28 articles over a half hour, the last of which was Yreka, California. He then began doing town articles again about 10 hours. If you stop at Bear Creek, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, and check their page histories you'll notice one thing in common. I was the last editor to work the articles(before TRM) or the next to last in about 5 or 6 of all the articles from Two Rivers to Outagamie. Why was he only doing articles I worked on? Is it coincidence or possibly a form of wikihounding? Just asking for your opinion. I'm sure TRM will chime in. FYI I mentioned this last night in an off wiki email to another editor here. My concerns about having a shadow aren't based on today's accusations by TRM but predate them. Will provide you the email if requested....William 23:23, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Actually, I count 46 specious tags inserted by The Rambling Man (See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Tagfest for complete list). Of those, 34 were the next edit after an edit by WilliamJE; 3 were edits of articles that WJE had edited, but not the next edit after WJE; and 9 were of articles that WilliamJE never edited. You might want to check my math. 70.235.85.119 (talk) 00:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Not going to double check your math. A cursory glance makes me believe your figures are close if not right on target. I know he did others but after over 25-30 in a row of being connected to my own edit history. How did I know TRM is working on these articles or TFD for Famous? I saw a bunch of my edits without a current next to them and I do participate in TFDs and regularly check if there are any to chime in on.

Cleaning up notable people sections or starting new ones all together, creating 'People from' categories and then filling them up are some of my most common edits here at Wikipedia.(Besides work on golf and aviation articles, cleaning up See also sections, and making sure articles are in

WP:ORDER

. Nyttend is from Ohio and he may have noticed my making 'People from ______, Ohio categories'. I've done 20 to 25(Celina, Ashland, Washington Court House, East Liverpool, Circleville, Salem, Damascus, Fostoria to name a few) of those. Rule of thumb for me making those categories- Eight or more are from the town, village, or city or the location is in more than one county.

This is my last edit of the night. Its past 9 pm in the part of Florida I reside in and I have to be awake in eight hours....William 01:19, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey Nyttend, the edits here Allegheny County PA have caused all of the Unincorporated communities and footnotes to not display in the template of the county itself. I cant see why not, could you look and see why? It looks like the time period of Tonythre tiger???? OR could you show me how to fix it??Coal town guy (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

I saved to an earlier version by you, whoever came in after you has not done alot afterwards. I was (gasp) bold. Otherwise, the template was crippled and many articles and footnotes were not displayedCoal town guy (talk) 14:01, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm having this image that I made, and uploaded, for the Automan talk page deleted because I no longer desire it to be on Wikipedia. Please do not revert my deletion of the image link. Thank you. Cyberia23 (talk) 22:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

What part of "I no longer desire it to be on Wikipedia" don't you understand? I made it, I uploaded it and now I don't want it on Wikipedia any longer. Besides, there is nothing official about the image I made it under info I got about the process and I can't guarantee it's 100% correct. There is no reference. Also I believe you're not supposed to just delete tags like you did. There is a procedure to contest deletions so I suggest you follow it. Cyberia23 (talk) 03:17, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

FYI the image was deleted by another admin per my request - I guess some admins around here are more useful than others. We do have a red link to the image on the talk page but you'll probably ban me if I delete it, so you can deal with it. Cyberia23 (talk) 20:38, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

I have no clue, since I don't generally deal with error-checking. When Black Kite responded to the error report, it was clearly still needed, but that was ten days ago. I'll ask Black Kite to answer your question. Nyttend (talk) 17:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Where are you getting your direction to do this? I've already given a good reason not to, and a Wiki template with an example of it not being done. And in the example, it links "Uckfield, UK". It would be helpful if you could revert your edit. Thanks again.
